WorstUsernameEver

I miss Matt .

Has anyone posted this yet?

Since I don't remember the rules of the 2nd ed. very well, I'd refrain from actually volunteering but if you really really really need another one than feel free to use me (......) as a human cleric (or a cleric kit, though I don't remember if there were any).

Then again, I'll reiterate (I know you understand perfectly Flou, I just want to be sure anyone who reads and didn't see my previous post gets the clear picture) : that was just me making the connection. Keep in mind that the only thing Jason Bergman twitted was that he heard something cool was going to be announced at PAX (and who knows, maybe the people who told him changed their plans?).

Hmh, weren't there also rumours about Obsidian revealing their 3rd project this week at PAX? I hope you don't mean my post about Jason Bergman's twit. I was just speculating (and I will admit frankly, 90% of that speculation is pretty much wishful thinking) that it could be an Obsidian's project, since Jason Bergman has a close relationship with Obsidian, you know, working as a senior producer on New Vegas. Also, I'm pretty sure he wasn't supposed to tell that since the twit disappeared after a little bit.

Ossian Studios new game is a IPhone/IPod Touch western RPG. DEAL WITH IT.

Heh, (in the background) the frame is different, but it reminded me a lot of this 6 years old photo. If these are the same, then the Fallout 1 post has still it's original frame. Just say'in. :> This is nerdier than nerd. And it's awesome, Lexx.

He looks cooler than the official art (of the 3rd ed. at least) Balors though.

He loves to say 'you know' doesn't he? He did like, three times in a row. The stills in the title screens look pretty cool, especially the mags one.

The Bible Online first screenshot.

I remember Doom as browner than that.

Actually that's just the preorder bonuses.

Now I'm curious Monte, what makes you more interested in this than the originals? No, I'm not going to rage, even if I do post on No Mutants Allowed to comment news. I've never been a massive fan of the original Fallout games. Don't get me wrong, I've always liked the setting and acknowledge that it's probably the most original and intriguing video game setting I've experienced. I completely understand the love for it. But I feel that the old-skool clunky TB gameplay doesn't really do it justice. I know, it's heresy, the Turn-Based Taliban will shoot me down. But as an old-skool gamer myself I've never really liked turn-based combat at a tactical level with firearms. Jagged Alliance 2* is the only game that's captured that for me, the Fallouts (apart from Tactics - which I always played in semi-TB mode) didn't. The Bethseda FO3 was OK, I enjoyed it. But it missed the dialogue and characterization that I associate with Obsidian games. So here I am, confronted by an Obsidian realisation of a cool PA setting with the FO3 polish vis-a-vis the engine and one of the most credible collector's edition packages I've seen for a while. So all in all I am looking forwards to FO:NV a great deal. Am ready for incoming. Cheers MC * Edit - I forgot XCOM. I think the clarification is that squad-based games work for me turn-based, RPGs don't anymore. Perfectly understandable, though it is my opinion that it is more of a fault in execution than in theory (I would have been curious to see how Van Buren would have felt mechanically speaking). But yeah, I do agree that combat was a really weak point in the first two games.

Not really sure if it's even an import. Since I thought I saw when I was googling for it that cdon.com is selling CE for the Danes, so I would imagine they will also be selling it to other nordic nations as well. The store is for Finns, Danes, Norwegians and Swedes. But still there's no price for the PC version on the finnish version of the site. Just says they are out of stock... and there's only that one price for one of the consoles. It seems strange to me. I'd try to contact the community manager of Bethesda (Matthew Grandstaff) privately and ask him about that.

Yea I've been able to find it on cdon.com for 113 euros for ps3 or the 360. Talk about overpricing... Wow. That's excessive. I was talking about the 80 euros range for the PC. High, overpriced even, but not that much. That's probably a NTSC version imported by the states. Can't really understand the price tag otherwise.

It's not completely updated anyway. I could fine the Collector's Edition (though grossly overpriced) on the Gamestop italian website.

Risen is indeed a very fun game. Even if the pacing has problems, I actually found the dungeons to be designed well enough.

There's no PVP in the game. As for modding, we know next to nothing about how much of the engine is moddable, but what is sure for now (it may change in the future, or at least I hope so) is that they aren't planning to release the engine toolset (see Feargus Urquhart interview with GameBanshee).

*shrugs* I can't read that for you Oner. I lack... a microphone. And you'd probably prefer a nice italian lady to read that instead of me, anyway. Jokes aside, I'm guessing that we'll have to wait a fair bit of time to get some new info.

This was the preview I was mentioning by the way.

I approve of this post. A question, where did you manage to order a Collector's edition for NV? I've only seen regular editions in Europe so far. Look here.

The art style was too cartoony? Weren't the two previous DS games just as cartoony? Either that or I missed the part where they looked like a "realistic" modern day shooter. I'm not sure what they mean about the combat system, though. I'm just mentioning what they said. I personally haven't played Dungeon Siege I and II, but the colors looked a little bit more toned down. I'm not sure if that was really an art choice though.

Now I'm curious Monte, what makes you more interested in this than the originals? No, I'm not going to rage, even if I do post on No Mutants Allowed to comment news.
