- more than one skill - too complex IMO - mini-game - might be fun but most minigames suck, don't they? i think lockpicking in fallout-vew vegas was boooooring. there was one game which had cool mini-games for this but i can't remember which one. deus ex? system shock? anyway, if someone has a concept for a fun minigame (which is also fun the 100. time, like PsychoBlonde so aptly put it) i'm for it, if not then it should just be a dice roll.

one vote for Fallout 1 & 2 - style death animations! LOL, I love this: "because I hear Obsidian is going to make the game totally based on poll results." that's what I heard too

LOL, I love these discussions, so much fervour I just hope Obsidian doesn't listen to us too much and do their own thing

how aweseom is that?!?! also so many people on board already, very cool!! and I also think Obsidian should chose what to do. something tongue in cheek and not too serious would be nice. I like the idea of Sistergoldring

DreamingVoid? A fan of Peter F. Hamilton are you??

I am in the mid-thirties First RPG: Ultima VI - The False Prophet Favorite games / RPGs: Fallout 1 & 2 Edit: I read all the comments, glad to see some love for Lands of Lore

I totally agree with the OP.

baldur's gate 1 and planescape torment. the latter was a little too surreal / wierd for me i think (long time ago) - anyway, I pledged because of those games. when I saw tim cain (fallout) is on board i immediately upped my pledge.

nice article. I suspect that it is not easy to balance companions so that they are really useful / entertaining on one hand, but that you can also play the game and have fun without them.
