I know, I know. They just look like such crap imo. Like one level above all text. Im not even a graphics whore and looking at screen caps of the FO's make me want to spork my eyes out.

Im not disappointed in the least and Im happy everyone else is happy. Im more curious as to why, and whether or not its just nostalgia.

Hardly that simple. Just that those people who love the Fallout series want to see those traits they loved brought into the next incarnation of the game, however Fallout 3 was lacking in some of those aspects. I still very much liked Fallout 3, but it doesn't follow the theme of Fallout and Fallout 2 very well. I feel they can keep a lot of what Fallout 3 is, but add some depth to the game. Something a bit more substantial to it. Would you consider that "doable" as it probably wont be turn based? Isnt that where a lot of the charm came from wrt FO1 and FO2? I dunno, I havnt played any of them.

Then, despite the gross similarities and how accurate the reversion is, people won't be blinded by their nostalgia and will critique the game for still not being a good enough carbon copy of the first two games. Lol, I was going to bring up how nostalgia would never stand the withering light of the actual product but it doesnt seem to matter.

Sure is. Fair enough.

All of these suggestions just sound like FO2 reskinned for 2010. Is that what the majority of you want? Im genuinely curious here. A new FO on the heels of a version less then 1 year old and all anyone wants is to revert back to "the good ole days?

New Lions logo. Now with teeth!

Wait, what? It looks like 16-bit graphics.

Huh, just today I learned that Hawking was a Brit, I always thought he was American. I wonder why his talk box thingy doesnt have an English accent.

Yikes, that sounds awful. For me, Id much rather enjoy playing the game then grind the starting area over and over in the name of "hardcore", yo. EDIT: BTW, whats the level cap?

WooHoo, Happy Birthday!!!! :beerglassesclinkingtogetheremoticon:

Correct. And why not? Fallout + Black Obsidian = Epic (not Megagames). Get it? Got it? Good. Ok, just making sure I was on the right page. With everyone slathering up the joint I couldnt help but feel like I was missing some between-the-lines information instead of just a vague notification of a game being made in the future. Personally, I was more extited about the possibilitu of a new IP and not a different spin on the same stuff released less then a year ago and still receiving DLC. Im sure it will be "much different" and exactly what FO3 was "supposed to be".

Why is everyone going apesh*t? Because this will be made by Obsidian instead of Bethesda? We know nothing other than its going to be made but its already the shiznit?

So if you die your supposed to abandon your character?

The NAV warning went away, dunno what changed. Made level five by going 1 for 3 today and picked up a new ability, "Pugnacious", which allows a free action return hit every time Im hit by an opponent.

Thats Mus? Huh, I thought I could detect some breasts in that picture. Weird. Anywho, day 10 of my quitting smoking and all's well. I think even the habitual part of smoking is behind me now. It was strange getting over it, almost like losing an old friend. For the first couple days I would still look around for them whenever or feel like I was forgetting something but even things like that are passing and I rarely even think about them any more.

Lol, hey, it looked good on me.

Not a hat guy myself. I did have to wear these though:

I dont know how Fear used to be but as for Polymorph, that sounds like an upgrade. It used to break on any damaging action against the target. I was even kinda jealous of the Shaman (or whoever that is that can turn a target into a frog) as the frog would take a few hits before the poly broke. Polymorph has really become a dead art, nobody askes me to poly anymore since you can just pretty much beat everything to death with a DK.

Im using IE7. The funny thing is that the viral hit seems to trigger on the graphics. For example, I can log into Gfted1's cell and Ill get the NAV warning but a picture of her wont display. If I try to watch a fight the entire screen will load, including the center arena, but no toons will display and you cant see the fight or result.

Wasnt your main a mage? You were my inspiration to try Arcane. Yeah, I saw some grousing in trade chat that the nerf hammer was dropping on Warlocks, how bad is it?

So Im pretty underwhelmed with the Arcane tree. I really lose a lot of CC and AoE by not having Dragons Breath, Blast Wave and Living Bomb, not to mention the insta-proc of Flamestrike after using either Blastwave or Dragons Breath. Doing a couple of BG's last night really drove home the fact that my DPS was about half of what I normally do in an average BG. Im going to give it a few more attempts to make sure Im not overlooking some nuance, and Id like to run an instance as Arcane but if things dont improve dramatically Im going to change my offspec to Frost.

^Is he riding some kind of rocket hover-skateboard?

Madden had started to lose his charm with me for the last few years too but the "most annoying broadcaster ever" title is firmly held by Dennis Miller. Oy!

Already out.
