  1. I wouldn't get my hopes up for this game living up to the name Fallout 3 simply by virtue of how I perceive the modern game market. Fallout 3, to live up to the name, would require either a repetition of certain shared characteristics of Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 or a reasonable evolution of those very same characteristics. This includes the setting, atmosphere, and mechanics. Setting is the post-apocalyptic world and I believe that is very much accomplish able. Atmosphere is things like the humor and the mood the game evokes beyond the setting. Mechanics is the stat system and the turn based combat. It is mechanics I think the problem will be present. I have doubts that the game market, as it exists today, would be sufficiently receptive to a turn based RPG as to make that game a success. I also doubt that there is a reasonable evolution of the mechanics possible that would be sufficiently recieved. And I also think Bethesda likely agrees. Of course, this is only my opinion of the market and an assumption about Bethesda. Ultimately it would only come down to whether Bethesda agrees or not. With just the setting and atmosphere, would Fallout 3 fit my criteria of a successor? No. Would it fit my criteria of a spin-off? Most definitely. Wouldn't even need the humor in that case. Is it likely to be an awesome game? Damned if I know, I can only hope that regardless of whether or not it has my three criteria of a successor that it is fun.

    How do you accelerate AT the speed of light? Do you mean to?
  3. What degrees do they have and what do they do? My mom and my sister are clinical psychologists, although my sister specializes in children. My dad just has the degree, he never really did anything with it. What about you? In case you all are wondering, this is totally on topic. I'm about to get my BA. 2.9 GPA, so I'm just barely *bleeped* for grad school (and I didn't look into applying until after the cutoff date, anyway). I'm going to try to get some work experience before applying now. Don't know what I'm going to do, but I want to try something that has me working with ADHD kids, if at all possible. Of course, I don't know of any places that specialize in helping ADHD kids, so that's more of a "what I'd like to do" than what I'm likely to end up doing. Main reason I asked is because I have no clue what I can do with a BA.

  5. 90% of a shrinks job is common sense and being willing to say things nobody else wants to, the other 10% is bull****. Common sense is a combination of hindsight bias, after the fact justification, and mass cliches. Don't confuse radio or television show doctors for psychologists.

    How about pork brains with milk gravy?

    I haven't had spam since I was a child. Though, on rare occasion I do enjoy vienna sausages. I haven't had those in 6 years. And that's the history of me and canned meat.
  8. They still need to fix touch attacks not applying sneak attacks!
  9. Wouldn't the name of the game be required for it to be considered announced?
  10. If we kidnap her, just let me keep her. I'm sure I could put her to work.
  11. I'm playing Sam and Max: Bright Side of the Moon! It was supposed to have been delayed to the 10th, but I'm not complaining.
  12. NWN2 was not playable for some after the 1.01 patch. I had to find workarounds for 3 gamestopping bugs that I wasn't alone in. It was unpolished at first, but the first patch broke it!
  13. Kind of small for a background.
  14. Actually, I

  18. Will there be a collector's edition?

  20. I have a friend working at Blizzard. He says they're making the KOTOR MMO.
