Hey, I need to maintian my consistant inconsistant nature.

Explodes with a 50 foot radius doing 10d6 damage to all (Rflex Save for half) if it gets hit by fire.

Yeah, I know. :'(

The price of games hasn't increased for years while the cost of making them has. Frankly I would gladly pay $80 to $100 for a game that uses the NWN 2 engine with BG2's length and story quality.

They game might as well be very well done but if they aren't going to use what made Fallout Fallout then they shouldn't call it Fallout. They should just make their own Post Apocalyptic setting and use the rules system they are use to with the TES series. Frankly I would rather see them do that, and I would gladly buy that, over their Fallout 3.

Okay, how about an outjhouse tileset? THEY ARE A MUST!

Okay you two, get a room or something.

Pretty much, yeah.

They aren't making a new IP, they are making a game that is part of a series. Also their was quite e number of peeps of FO2 that came from FO1. Not all, but a good chunk. How many of FO3 have prior experience withthe previous FOs programming and design wise? Last I counted that number was zero. Star Wars is a completely different beast. Also KotOR 2 expanded what was established in KotOR 1. From the style of Bethesda's games FO 3 will not have anything in common with the previous FOs except the title.

So you are whining about my whining. Hippocrit.

Of course I would make some concessions. Such as I would expect the game to be fully 3D rendered instead of sprite based like the previous Fallouts. I would also expect there would be a real time option, which is fine as long as I have my turn base option and it is balanced at least for turn base if not both. Bethesda makes fantasy single player MMORPGs, astr0creep, and not science fiction CRPGs. They have no experience with the genre nor the style of Fallout. The nly development house I see that can do Fallout any sort of justice is Obsidian.

No.

Justification depends on your point of view.

Unfortunately.

Why can't people just leave each other alone and mind their own business.

Oh, I look more than at the title. I look at the rules system. I look at the setting. I look at the graphic style. I listen to the music. I lkisten to the voice acting. All these elements made what Fallout and Fallout 2 are. ALL OF IT! Now you can add to these elements and still be Fallout, but remove any one of these elements and replace with something completely different the game will no longer be Fallout.

My halflfing wizard would wipe the floor with you.

I blame the terrorists. If you make NWN 2 short the terrorist will win.

Sure, but overall it is a better game than KotOR 1 except for the ending. The ending sucked, but that is mostly due to the publisher. Besides KotOR 2 is old news. Lets stay current.

Yeah. Basically NWN 2 is what NWN 1 should have been. Leave it up to Feargus and crew to correct Bioware's mistakes.

Darque, Fallout 2 was good because it expanded what was there, not replace.

If it is Fallout in name only then it will be worthless and terrible.

I am ver yflexible on certain issues but when it comes to games, no I am not. A CRPG is more than a sumof its parts, it is a synergy of the various components that goes into it. The rules system, the graphical style, the storyline, the voice acting, the setting, and the music needs to build upon one another to build a proper CRPG. If even one or more of these aspects are out of whack then the whole game is worthless. Fallout is a culmination of these aspects to create a style in which its original programmers and designers created one of the best games ever made. Any drastic deviation from what was set in Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 wil only result in garbage. Given Bethesda's design philosophy only garbage can be the result of them making Fallout 3.

BG 2 should be the norm.
