Oh and thank you very much; WTH?

Are they saying "terrible game", or "terrible Fallout game"? There is quite a distinction in that. I would imagine that most people do not assume that a Bethesda title will be a terrible game ~in and of itself; on its own merit. (And some, for just the publisher's name on it.) *But I think the other opinion is easily proven.

Some one has been watching Mr.Robot. *Paying someone money after beating them up, will not make them trust you, or endear you to them. (Unless they are really messed up in the head.) __________ Continuing the earlier post: Fallout was about the PC, and the PC was paramount. FO3 is about the landscape simulation, and the PC is a vestigial annoyance left over from its RPG roots. It's a costume now, and the player is paramount; the player is the PC.

I wish it were ~even gameplay aside; but unfortunately it's polar opposite in most respects [and that means it has no respect for the series]. Where Fallout was about post nuclear ethics, FO3 was about 'do whatever you the hell you want ~for the lulz'. In Fallout you were given the freedom ~and the consequences of your actions; in FO3, your actions are promptly forgotten ~or outright forgiven!. (The PC can beat the hell out of anyone, and buy back their reputation by giving away bottles of water; even to the victim.) __________ Fallout revered nuclear weapons; used them sparingly, and for ironic effect. FO3 trivializes nuclear weapons; uses them laughably, and for no importance whatsoever.

We don't know... Technically no; half the interview was lost, and unrecoverable.

I'm fine with all three, but like fully customized the least; as those are the least supported by most RPGs, and games rarely take much notice of the custom PC's custom personality. *Blank slates are the worst; as all BS PCs tend to play like they fell out of a hole in the sky one night.

I wish the same, but additionally let Obsidian do the gameplay as well.

I have the original NOX CDs, and the GoG version. The only problem I have with the game, is that no one cares about anything in their house or establishment. The PC can enter any location and smash everything to bits and soak the floor... No one notices. Otherwise it's a great game that pulls off a great trick with MMX, for the realtime line-of-sight fog of war. Westwood released several patches and special addons for Nox. I'm not sure if the GoG version has or supports any of them though.

I'm dreading the day DoW makes it to GoG; I'll have to buy it again ~for the fourth time. Anytime something pops up for sale DRM free, that duplicates an entry in my limited Steam library, I buy it, and one more Steam game gets discarded. Eventually, I will just have Fallout:New Vegas via Steam, and when I can find that DRM free (not that I expect it), I can uninstall Steam.

They keep it open via PayPal, long after the Kickstarter ends. (We don't know just yet.)

You are making unfounded assumptions about the rest of the world based on fairly narrow experience. Do you truly think so? That example was about Wal*marts, Lowes, and Home Depot... Are you so certain about B&Q?

It's not them, it's the mentality this fosters. It creates a populace that respects no one unless they can be hurt by them... and it trickles down to the independent [small] vendors getting treated the same way by the same crap individuals that get away with it with the bigger retailers that you say don't care (that much) about it.

People do it all the time; especially at hardware stores, and places like Wal*mart. Tools, clothes... Anything they can get away with. Just ask anyone that works at those places. What about the sellers getting cheated? This happens all the time, all over the world; or do they not count in your world view? Customers routinely by clothes to wear to parties, then return them the next day for a refund. I'm pretty sure that customers cheat (and outright steel from) retailers far ~far more than retailers cheat their customers.

Do you know how many bastards buy chainsaws, lawn mowers, and shop-vacs ~use them, then bring them back for a refund? (Some of them don't even empty the bags in the vacs and mowers.) It should be a right that retailers can depend on their apparent income from sales, and not have the hassle of petulant customers demanding their money back after using the product. I've even heard tell of disassembling duplicate items, and reassembling one with all of the most worn parts, to take back for a refund. It's sick. A refund system in place is a good thing to have, but it should only be used if there is a problem ~not on the whim of teenagers that buy a game and play it until bored, and demand a refund. Steam does at least refuse if the game was played for more than two hours, but some games are only two hours long; others four hours; that's half the game. Then there are the software utilities... You buy those because you need them; and your need might be one time only, and take 15 minutes... Does that mean that the customer has the right to use the tool for their purposes, and then demand a refund?

Spoiler: (No really!)

BG series has the most insane Fallout easter egg... but you must start it in BG1 to complete it in BG2/Throne of Bhaal. I wonder if the BG:EE team has done any updates to that; or did they even know about it?

My Backer's account says that it will be shipping soon; (to the US). Paradox sent me a notification two weeks ago that they'd shipped it. Fed-Ex claimed it would be here on the 10th, but then changed their minds mid trip through the States, agreeing to deliver on the 12th instead. On the 12th I stayed home; Fed-Ex decided the address was an error, and left with the package... no message, no call, no nothing. No package. I had to call their exchange and get them to find it. They offered to deliver it to any FedEx location near the house... Just not the one that is four blocks from here. I had to drive four miles to pick it up. The package was crushed when I got it from them. **I am aware that it was probably sent from overseas first, and there is no way of knowing if it was crushed before they got it; but it doesn't help. I'm just glad to finally have it, and glad that it was just the standard boxed edition, and not a crushed collector's edition.

There is not much dialog in any game, compared to Torment.

They did? I don't remember anything like that. I do.

Certainly pledged; and for the physical boxed edition.

Or just two terrified neighbors. I like the new minigun though; and it's good that the PA troopers stand a head taller in the armor this time.
