okay, HOLD on.

I don't think anybody who actually worked on those games besides john carmack are still there, and he's a programmer. The problem with id is that they AREN'T doing what made those old games fun.

The sprint is a little bit too ridiculously fast though. of course I did set my agility to 10 but STILL.

But they aren't very good at FPSes either...

Wow, there are some good ideas in that FWE mod. I like the idea of spending AP on bullet time and/or a gears of war style sprint.

Yeah but now I'm thinking "Well, now all this good writing is going to be trapped inside Fallout 3's shoddy gameplay" I mean the writing you get a clean slate, but they can only really tweak the gameplay and I'm not convinced that F3 can be tweaked into something as good as the originals.

Ummmmmmmm, no ****?

ARRRGGGGGGHHH

I don't see how not liking a bunch of kids movies means you have bad taste but whatever (snap)

I'm going to say that with the really wonky animations awkward camera usage and melty-face Oblivion syndrome Fallout 3's graphics were worse than the originals as well. Except for maybe the environments.

I blame that on the fact raiders carried gattling guns and rocket launchers while you had a 10mm pistol and a baseball bat. Yeah that too. Weird spike. Because that means as soon as you kill one of those raiders you get a gatling gun and/or a rocket launcher. There should be a heirarchy you work your way up.

I hate star wars too, but that wasn't exactly the point I was trying to make.

I totally, completely, 100% disagree that the plot in Fallout 3 was better than the originals. Hackneyed, at times completely nonsensical, and linear. If you're so keen on turning Fallout into a sandbox, quit trying to wrestle the controls away from me! Maybe I don't want to help Dad, and maybe Project Purity is a completely stupid idea I want no part of. How about instead of Dad going "Well I'll be here if you change your mind!" the game actually reacts to my decision. I also don't agree that Fallout 3's interface was much better than the originals. Too console-oriented. To reach its potential for the PC it needs to be a lot smarter about use of space and drag and drop functionality. Still didn't fix the tabs-within-tabs issue of Oblivion. And the green and black was just ugly compared to the rusty neutral colors of the first two.

As far as creatures go, I've always thought a big part of RPGs should be when you can get over that peak and start being able to kill humans without them just tearing you apart. I'm always a little disappointed when you can take care of people right from the start. It's like, come on, I should have to work for this! I don't mean start me off in Rat Town killing rats for 3 hours, but I should NEED good armor and a decent weapon (or a high skill level with a bad weapon) to be able to take on the most dangerous prey of all. Speaking of which, in Fallout 3 I got the combat shotgun from moira like 1 hour in. That's ridiculous considering how overpowered it is!

Considering Obsidian's history, I'd be surprised if they're given enough time or budget to implement voice acting.

Morrowind indicates that the team who made Morrowind could make a game as good as Morrowind. Oblivion and Fallout 3 indicate that the people who made Morrowind good are either long gone or playing to a significantly lower common denominator

So what's your favorite star wars movie edit: Actually that doesn't even work because at least lucas was able to **** up his own movies

Never even really knew what Fallout was until around June of last year so I guess I have crazy super rosey glasses that predict an alternate timeline in which I was incredibly nostalgic for them! Or maybe, occam's razor, Fallout 3 was ass butter

Yeah but instead of helping with crops or fixing their well you find retarded stuff like "girl who is obsessed with soda wants you to find 100 sodas"

I don't agree that the exploration gameplay was very fun. You go around and find, what exactly? More subway tunnels? A little settlement with nothing in it but more super mutants to kill?

It's pretty clear he's doing something with it. But all inxile has made so far is that awful bards tale relaunch and line rider so who knows how it'll go.

It takes diagonals into account so you're actually getting 8 degrees of movement instead of 6 so quit whining

I wonder if there's been any major changes within the company since Morrowind was released that could be potentially correlated to this dive in quality. HmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMmmmm

Who WAS satisfied with that? The game IS about 120 hours long with all 5 DLC and that 5 seconds, along with the latter part of the main story didn't kill the entire experience. That's sort of like saying "You have ONE tumor on your neck. The rest of your body is fine." No, it's a symptom of a much bigger problem that ate Fallout 3 from the inside

So you're saying that instead of asking for better games we should just lower our standards immensely. The reason Fallout 3 didn't equal the experience of Fallout 1 is because they didn't really try
