The problem is that it is not the Fallout setting —it is their own personally skewed and inaccurate interpretation of what they think is recognizable about the Fallout setting. EDIT: BTW,,, These massive youtube videos seen below existed as unobtrusive text links in my sig, but the new board software interprets them as full-size embeded videos. (... and there seems to be no obvious way for be to edit or change them. Would someone kindly PM to me instructions for how to edit my sig?)

I tend to prefer turn based games over most others... but I thought that Pillars' was a return to the Infinity engine classics; and those are not turn based.

Just finished FullThrottle:remastered, Grimdawn is on temporary hold, while I play through Vaporium.

Full Throttle:Remastered

Druidstone got an announcement today, in the Almost Human forums. I've been awaiting this one for quite some time. https://store.steampowered.com/app/954650/Druidstone_The_Secret_of_the_Menhir_Forest/

The art department had Mad Max running on continuous loop. The Mysterious Stranger is essentially Mad Max himself—almost . [*This is not to fully disagree though...]

People working on a budget, and people whose needs are met by the off the shelf system; IE. those who would like to avoid paying more for the equivalent machine—which additionally... comes with a warranty.

If you don't have an engine preference, but want to mod—for modding [demo/portfolio] sake, try modding 'Legend of Grimrock' 1 or 2. It is very possible to make a functional map with encounters, in a matter of minutes to hours with the built in dungeon editors. Rapid (playable) results are good for building one's confidence. It also serves as a foundation to later modify with user scripts. You don't need to know any scripting to start with; it has a visual behavior interface for basic tasks. https://store.steampowered.com/app/207170/Legend_of_Grimrock/ https://www.gog.com/game/legend_of_grimrock With a bit of experience, it is possible to customize the default game assets, and make new ones; even new monsters, and to affect (and in LoG2 even rewrite) the game AI. They have a persistent modder's community forum where you can ask any question that come to mind—a receive technical answers.

I played it—for about 10 minutes; I have not played it since.

Honestly I cannot fathom wanting a game pad for an infinity engine clone. *Myself, I have never had a use for them, and would never expect Pillars of Eternity to officially support one.

I bought Vampire:Bloodlines from Steam and found that it wouldn't load; always CTD'd with an error message. I contacted Steam, it took two weeks to hear back from them, and they gave me instructions for reconfiguring the windows boot.ini, that would have indefinitely reduced my available RAM by 50%. They told me that I'd have to boot it that way to run the game. In the interim of those Two weeks of waiting on them, I found a minuscule user patch (that I think just flips a bit in the exe). Instantly the game ran fine. That right there is utterly absurd. With GoG, I bought The Witcher 2, and got constant crashes on load. I contacted GoG; I had them on the chat (in what might have been minutes, but certainly it was within the hour). They determined that it was an issue with .Net, and their leaderboard feature. I told them that I didn't care about the leaderboard... They sent me a custom recompile with that feature disabled, and it played just fine.

I do that, but I must have slipped up a few times. Several times I have seen the installer download and update GoG Galaxy. I've started to wonder if any free title from them comes with a mandatory Galaxy installer.

Gog Galaxy does the same kind of auto-updating —AFAIK. (I don't use it myself, and keep finding the thing installed by default more, and more often these days). It's the first thing I uninstall after installing a GoG title. But it is for providing some of the the social and auto-update features that Steam provides; from what I've read.

Well... Stuart Margolin always plays his parts well, but that was the redeeming part of Futureworld IMO; (and the recent X-Files series).

...And Scorn looks to have been copying Giger.

Hmm, Disciples II looks great, but then I read this under reviews: " For it's age , it's not a bad looking game. I almost gave up trying to play this game for the first time so look through some guide and check google to get it fix then it is worth the while Do some reinstall as well, did it 4 times with different solutions . It is 18 years old game so go figures. " So, it needs some tinkering to work on modern PCs. GoG sells it, and it works fine for me... I assume the Steam version is equivalent to the one GoG sells. That review reads like they don't know how to play, rather than can't get it to run. When I first bought the game (yes I've bought it more than once), for the first half an hour, I was unsure if I'd made a mistake; it was very unusual. But during the following seventeen hours that I kept playing it—that session, I decided that I had made a good choice. It is certainly one of those, "Just one more turn..." titles; or it is for me.

Disciples 2; possibly 3. These are turn based fantasy land snatching games. They have great art-style; practically look like animate oil paintings.

Skip FutureWorld... Unless you liked Highlander 2. Westworld was a superb one-shot.

Maybe if you refer to Fallout Tactics, otherwise not so much. The best Fallout game award since then goes to... UnderRail That's certainly possible—but I have never played UnderRail. I would also have said, Arcanum, as far as principles go.
