^That's why I am greatly supportive of the breadcrumb trail in DS3.

One shouldn't wonder why players go on killing sprees in Bethbryo games when looking at random NPC faces. At least FO3 & NV have the improvement over Morrowind/Oblivion that it's possible to literally kill them with fire.

For $130, I'd expect a wax statue of Triss.

Not to mention, compare the Asari dancers on Omega with the monstrosities in Gomorrah.

That brain surgery part was pure brilliance. Plus the exploding mansion & the espionage sidequest. Mothership Zeta is worth it as well, just for the Death Star-like explosion at the end that seems to take forever.

Tired of playing labyrinth? Toggle the console, type "tcl" and problem solved. That's how I managed to get through Vault 11 & Vault 34 without losing my sanity.

Khajiit, Redguard & Dunmer females generally looked good.

How was that bad? It's been a while and I can't remember feeling anything negative about it. Beat Boss. You win. Kthxbye. Which reminds me that Dark Messiah's ending was pretty horrible as well.

Rivet City was self-sustaining. There's a point about the lack of crops & farms, though. After all, Morrowind and even Oblivion had plenty of those... must've been due to the giant radscorpions & deathclaws running rampant everywhere once your character went over a certain level.

Bethesda came up with that ending to rattle the fans enough so they would be easier inticed to acquire Broken Steel (and other DLCs) later on. As usual, it was just a brilliant marketing ploy.

And 20 years from now, Baldur's Gate 2 will be regarded just as the Goldbox games are nowadays. Sic transit gloria mundi. That said, though, I could never finish Death Knights of Krynn because that blasted Lord Soth just kept resurrecting himself and I never found a way to counter this, being in the pre-gamefaqs age.

Gray Matter

What I really miss in FO:NV is the really long-range VATS headshots with Lincoln's repeater.

Point Lookout (post-apocalypic Deliverance) is the best DLC by far, despite the cheating enemies. Decent main quest and some excellent sidequests. Mothership Zeta isn't bad for a corridor shooter. The samurai's outfit & katana (aside from the other overpowered loot) alone make it worth playing.

My Preciousssss....

I finished the Dragon Knight Saga. I'm not too keen on the re-mastered version of Ego Draconis, since it streamlines the original a bit too much (albeit for the better), but the expansion Flames of Vengeance is fantastic overall. Excellent quests, writing & music. There's even some choice & consequence in many sidequests that may prompt me to replay the entire expansion and see what difference it makes. The only thing I disliked was the arcade-like Dragon shoot 'em up in the final sections of the game that nearly made me ragequit. Overall, DSK is the best game I've played this year, even before River of Time. Now hopefully Two Worlds 2 will swipe me off my feet again..

I still hear the cries of Harold, set ablaze by my flamer, in my dreams.

There was a French RPG in development with a very unique art-style (it was either canceled, or vaporware), but I forgot how it was named. Druillet was probably involed in it as well.

Is there a use for all the radioactive rockets in Novac, beyond using them as Rock-It-Launcher ammo?

Yahtzee hit the nail on the head, for once.

TW2 better come out here tomorrow. I've just started the expansion content of Dragon Knight saga and it's fantastic. In the beginning you're kinda stuck in Aleroth, but pretty much every NPC has lots of dialogue, not to mention there are dozens of sidequests, some of which even influence the main quest or other sidequests without you knowing beforehand. Mindreading is also worth it almost every time, but at a very steep experience cost (but I maxed it out before ending Ego Draconis, hence it costs me 0 XP to mindread). There's also a couple of new tunes from Kirill Pokrovsky, which alone is reason enough to rush out to the stores and acquire the game.
