ooooooh, snap!!

have you guys tried the J.E. Sawyer mod for FO3? it turns all regular dialogue off and every now and again an NPC comes up to you with a vague line about something random. as the PC you're left to figure out what the heck is going on yourself. nah, i'm jus' kiddin', Sawyer. i wubs.

Overlord 2 = ****ING AMAZING.

if Josh doesn't post something soon i'm going to start liking FO3 just to spite him.

well, i like your philosophy but imo it should be kept a bit on the standard side (though i do like including DB's and DL's) but the only real way to gauge if and how we should go about it is to start a thread and get some polling going on.

copy of a post i made at NMA a minute ago: without getting into the bull**** that was his later life, Thriller & Bad were a huge part of my childhood and i've got mad respect for what he did up until his creepy **** started. RIP

whoa, cool. you guys have fans here too. i'm a HUGE cheesehead, jus' to letcha know! so that leaves me with two things: 1) GREG JENNINGS SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGNNNNNNNNNNNNED, BEEEEE-OCHES! 2) All Vikes, Bears and Bwoys fans direct themselves to my middle finger right up in yo' grills! p.s. you guys do FF leagues?

errr...way to be on the ball there, kiddo.

i was joking too. (lie)

i just quoted the important part.

yes you did. in your sleep. i heard you.

FO1 & 2 are about the drive, not the destination. FO3 could have been this, because the world is dense enough, if the main quest wasn't so forced and hasty. at no point does it ever side-track you and put you out in the world or give you much reason to explore. i personally felt like once i started the MQ there was a hand on my back pushing me along until i was staring at the very ending of the game going "wtf just happened? this is Fallout 3?"

well then this is all just esoteric, abstract, semantic nonsense then, idn't it? none of this changes the fact that regardless of "what" or "how" you call what FO1 & 2 did right in regards to quest structure (amongst so many, many other things) the fact remains that FO3 did not. also,

srsly. i don't get how people don't see that style of gameplay as completely integral to capturing the spirit of Fallout. anyway, on a different note...i just now realized in complete awe and disgust at myself how i've never once thought (until now) to use the username Kenny Login.

gotcha. yeah, totally agree. i think that's one thing the people at the Bethesda board really don't understand. that it's not just a bunch of hardcore fans who think it's fun to bash FO3 just out of spite (because it's different than the originals) rather it's a bunch of hardcore fans who are upset that the game changed too many integral bits of what made Fallout great in the first place and created something entirely different (not bad, at least not bad in a generic way, but lackluster in regards to some key elements of good RPG's and the Fallout universe).

somewhere along the lines i saw an interview where he said something about FO:NV in a way that made it sound like he ain't involved at all. only time will tell, i suppose.

that...just...that's not true. i know what you're getting at but i can guarantee that any music, film, book, etc critic who is panning the heck out of something isn't doing it out of love. and all the points of contention i have with FO3 and Bethesda certainly ain't out of love (unless you mean out of love for the originals, which i don't think is your point and still doesn't make that statement any more true). right. it's a shame the entire game is built off "cliches" because Bethesda misinterpreted the idea behind the world of Fallout. i would have preferred more choices which had ANY effect whatsoever on the game throughout the entire game...'cause....uhhhhhhh.....like that's what a good RPG does and that's how the original games were built.

z'actly. i feel like it got "fun game!" down pat but i feel like it missed "Fallout" by a thousand light years (is that a lot? i mean for it to be a lot).

i'm coordinating the viability of leaving work early in about a minute.

hell, go ahead and do this even if you don't have to.

well Jason Fader, i suggest you watch this video and then watch it with your friend James Ford.

*beep* who is this "Jason Fader" i see?

just got a MAAAAJOR craving for Vampire Bloodlines. re-installing in T minus 10, 9, 8...

because i'm impatient, goddammit. anyway, it's not like Sawyer's opening up a can of worms which is really beans which develops botulism and accidentally eats it and dies if he posts even one goddamn piece of concept art or sth. sheesh.

i'm playing the waiting game. waiting for FO:NV.
