  1. I never said that gambling was good in Fallout 1 / 2. I like how you try to hang me on a few words, though.
  2. Yeah, you are right. Gambling, Speech and Stealing were all useful skills in Tactics, as much as any weapon skill. Oh wait... that's not true at all. Seems like I am not complete wrong 'bout fot skills. But skills and perks aren't the only single thing that make Tactics a not very good Fallout game. More important is the lack of dialog trees / lack of npc interaction and real choice&consequence. Tactics is simply a mostly linear game with a bit of "chose your ending" in the last 10 minutes. Still. This doesn't change the fact that websites like nma or the codex aren't one entity / hive minds, just because some people are loud in their opinion.
  3. Cool. Though, I hate darker night mods. Can I disable this somehow? Running around in pitch black is not what I call much fun.
  4. The only thing I bought so far was the Skyrim Legendary Edition for 13€. The story and most of the quests are ****, but the graphic is pretty and running around as a big bearded dude was never so manly. I like the fur clothes.
  5. Well, of course people hated it on release... The game wasn't what everyone wanted. Fallout was expected, instead there was wannabe Jagged Alliance 2, with a linear story, linear map layout and half of the skill system was useless. In the end it's not a bad game, but for sure a bad Fallout game. Some folks on the codex agree with the AoD gamebanshee reviewer, if I remember correct. And he does make valid points here and there. Other than that, it's the codex. I personally am not even sure if it isn't just trolling oftentimes. What I just don't like is, when people see such websites as single entities. One person on the forum writes something and BAM, it apparently becomes the thought of the whole forum. Kinda annoying.
  6. Just because most of "us" folks at nma don't like the deathclaws and all that, it doesn't mean FoT is on "our" hate-liste. Me personally, I like the game quite a lot, even though I probably only ever finished it once. At some point in the game, it just becomes tedious with you using always the same tactic, which is super boring.
  7. Yeah, W2 should be first person with immersing gunfights and realistic movement and stuff. It would be totally ground breaking. Wait a moment... no, it wouldn't be at all.
  8. Keep in mind that Avellone worked only on a few locations (ag center, for example)- like the other writers as well. So just because person x worked on the game, it doesn't necessarily mean that all the writing in the game will be of the same quality.
  9. More importantly, who, on this forum of all places, doesn't already own KotOR2? Me. I played the first one for a while and it felt so boring to me, it burned all Star Wars for eternity for me.
  10. 50 words for snow is a p.cool album from Kate Bush, imo. Wasn't listening to it yet this year, because there is no snow in germany and it doesn't fit the mood.
  11. So that's what ArmA4 will look like.
  12. By now I came to the realization that pretty much every MMO is the same and offers the same lame "don't even read the text" fetch-quests and monster grinding. The last MMO that I've played for around 3 to 4 weeks was Fallen Earth, because I liked the setting (in the first area) and the crafting. Until I once again realized that the whole game is nothing else but senseless grind. Even FOnline: 2238 / Ultima Online was better, imo, simply because it offered a very tensed feeling due to pvp everywhere and full loot.
  13. Can anyone tell me what makes this game good? I tried it with a friend yesterday and it just feels like any other generic MMO. You do fetch quests and grind monsters. My character is lvl 11 now, and I don't think I was doing anything else but fetching stuff. I'm tensed to delete it now, to be honest.
  14. You can decide.
  15. Made me a custom character portrait. I think it turned out p.cool:
  16. While we are at it... In Highpool is a group of kids who yell at a prisoner. Anyone knows a way to get them away there, without killing them all?
  17. Inxile allowed it all. Screens, videos, streams, etc. As soon as I am back home, I'll create my custom party and then the madness begins. Fits perfect, because today is my last workday till next year.
  18. It. Is. Awesome. And now I'll have to go to work, nooooooooo.
  19. Wasteland 2 beta is out. Downloading right now, but probably won't be able to try it before I'll have to go to work.
  20. Me neither. kthxbye. :> Besides, I think it actually would be better to have the icons horizontal instead of vertical, to save precious screenspace. There is enough room to have them next to each other.
  21. It kinda fits in here, coz it is game news: Many people did the Project Eternity baker stuff here. Now I see that some people got a KS icon and some don't... Anyone can tell me why that is so? If it's related to doing the backing via KS website or PayPal- I did my stuff via KS as well, yet I don't have the icon?
  22. Haha and then they switch the places. This is like in school.
  23. Women should never be forced to an abortion, but I agree that men can be screwed pretty hard... Probably the best way would be - as said already - to allow the men to say nay when they find out that they are going to become a father. Still, this is problematic. This can turn into men saying nay right from the beginning, in any case, even if they might want the child / want to be the father, just to protect themself from a possible financial burden (for example, if both split up shortly after or whatever). Then you need people again who will decide if the nay-claim of the male part is valid or not... which can be really problematic and unfair. I mean, how would you want to judge that? Long time ago I was reading about a practice of birth control for men that wasn't a vasectomy and apparently works way better as well. Some stuff will be injected into the spermatic duct, which then destroys all sperm on a nano-level or something like that. It holds on for around 10 years and can be reverted at any time. Also it's said to be pretty cheap, which is the reason why we don't see much advert for it - the industry would lose a lot money if this becomes more common. This, actually, seems to me quite a reasonable method for men who do not want children yet, but might want in the future. Should check out if I can find any more information on that. Haven't read about it since years. /Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversible_inhibition_of_sperm_under_guidance
  24. How about not speeding in the first place? Speed limits exist for a reason. I really can't feel sad for people who get fines for that or die in car accidents if they were speeding and lost control over the vehicle. It just sucks donkey balls if other people are dragged into this, only because some idiot overestimated his driving skills... Which happens often enough.
  25. I actually don't think that Overgrowth will ever be finished. :> And by now it already took so much time, that I am certain the game will suck when it is released.
