?WHAT? "Every time you bring real life physics into a discussion about comic book, God kills a kitten. Please think of the kittens."And other variations of this. Wow. I thought that was a reference to Schr

Yep. "How to FUBAR a perfectly good tactical squad-based shooter 101". Hammer & Sickle! Like SS/SS

Yeah. That's why "choices made in the first game will have an impact", right? C&C? Instead, we get "grunt", regardless of what we did in ME. *grunts* Either this, or he's just a poser.

From the news items posted in the blog, it also seems there's huge lag going on and stuff... for those who actually got their grubby paws on the client.

You mean "Andromeda", right? Yeah. Unless somehow the cosmological constant is blown to smithereens in three years and the universe somehow undergoes an absurdly fast contraction... no chance in hell. Why are you asking this again? If the world ends, it's going to be the Christians' fault, fyi. Also, we need a :shakehead: icon for this guy. I can't remember how long he's been asking for it! Yeah. They sucked at math, too.

The more pertinent question is, I think, can you play as anything BUT?

...as a gameplay feature? So the game only allows you to kill major characters when an alternative path exists that won't result in a "persist in this doomed world or reload" screen, right? I guess that's the best one can hope for in CRPGs. That would assume that any and all situations can be solved realistically through stealth, no? But yeah, I'd like to hear an answer too.

Be thankful you don't have to deal with the dreadful xbox load times.

Salvation.

Bloody idiot. /facepalm Exactly. This game is delivering some massive amounts of win and the morons in the masses just can't comprehend its awesomeness through their thick skulls. It's incredibly upsetting that when someone makes a deep interesting game and it becomes just too much for an average gamer. When did our standards sink so low? For good or ill they don't check your age when posting on the Internet. Or your intelligence.

Yeah. And then all that goes to waste thanks to texture errors or plain bad quality, and really wacky LOD threshold calculations. Woo hoo! I think I'm getting brain damage from shaking my head so much.

You lucky ex-commies, you!

What? You aren't even allowing use of the black and redhead characters? Is this final, or just out of the scope of the present release? Well, sorry mate but that just sounds like an excuse to me. I could understand if you said that at present it's too much work, or that you'd rather do other things first. But not being able to run as the rationale for a design choice just doesn't cut it. Considering the size of FO maps and the fact that in TB, action points is what governs a creature's speed, it's not really a deal breaker for me. Besides, you could always speed up the standard walking anim of the mutie a wee bit and make it advance a little faster for the "run" mode. Nobody said a 300+ kg mutie should be able to break any speed world records, anyway. Ghouls can't run because they aren't supposed to be able to... or that's what I gathered from talking to Lenny anyway. So, yeah. Choosing a ghoul or a mutie as your race SHOULD have its drawbacks. I don't think it's such a big deal. Uh, oh. Care to explain how this works in a little more detail? It's cool to have a crafting system and a functional economy that supports trading, but fun in the FO games came from exploration and roleplaying, mainly. Cool. Is the police force player-run or NPC? If so, whom do they attack if a firefight breaks out in town? Can you surrender? The stuff I haven't quoted sounds sweet. Thanks for the answers.

Nice. So thanks to technical constraints arising from the need to fit the game into the POS360 and the devs' over-reliance on shortcuts, we get to see aliens that are essentially humans with merely colourful superficial details to make them distinct, a shortcoming for which they don't make up with interesting personalities. Yay. Throw in a half-assed PC port, a DRM scheme that treats assumes you are a pirate, and you get pure unadulterated gaming bliss. Oh, and mini-nukes. No game is complete these days without mini-nukes. I purchased ME for 20€ from the bargain bin... I won't make the same mistake with ME2.

How is it worse? She (?) is an alien. I just don't like when they take human beauty canons and build alien/fantastic chracters around them. That's just my opinion, though. Are you sure you want to ask that?

She's ugly alright, but that's good. She is some sort of lizard, right? I don't think she deserves her own thread, though. edit: are those gills? Fish-person?

Since you are obviously involved with the project, what can you tell us about new stuff added to the game? It does use the graphical assets from FO2 but how much new stuff are you adding in? Graphically the game was fine for its time, but for a MP game, a bit more variety would be nice. Do we get to use different avatars? Does every guy in metal armor look exactly the same as the next one? What about races? Can we play a super mutant or a ghoul? Deathclaw? And what's the gameplay going to revolve around? I have no interest in a game that forces (or encourages) players to spend most of their time farming moisture, so to speak. About parties. Is there a party system? Can you have people moving together around the world map? If so, who decides where to go? How are encounters with other parties handled? You wanted FOnline discussion, hope you're still up for it!

It sucked. The idea is to progress through different battles in sequence. Spell variety is... about a handful for each color. It's played in RT, so getting your casting tempo right is about half the work, the other half is identifying the holes in your opponent's game. And except for the first few matches, it's pretty much trial and error until you get the right combination of tempo and spells to win. Very little room for error, too. The game isn't really hard, you can probably beat it in one evening - it's just unforgiving and frustrating. Except for the flavor, it's not MtG at all.

And now, a word from our sponsor!

Um, yeah. Considering that neither game exists yet... I'm going to try a few others: Mayo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> mustard Arsenal >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Chelsea Stalin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hitler And most importantly, I >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> U

Meh. So far, this thread is only mildly pungent. I've seen you do far better, "lord". By the way, don't you think that your handle is a bit incoherent with your persona? After all, "lord" implies either religious overtones or reminiscences of the class struggle and inequalities born from blood-right. How about Asmodai? Or Beelzebub? Anyhow, if you can do this, you can redeem yourself as the forum superstar we all love to hate. Get crackin'! That's easy. How many decades have you spent in solitude cultivating your spirit and fighting the worldly temptations to be worthy of HIS grace? HE may be omnipresent, but that doesn't mean he would want to waste his time.

A monetary obligation, you say? Well, if you say so. Or you could, you know, cancel your subscription when you're fed up, and re-activate your account when/if you feel like it. What's the problem, again? Concerning the immersion, well, that depends the crowd you fall in with. Idiots are bound to be aplenty in this game, but not everyone will be one. Some people do get on MMOs to *gasp* roleplay. Just find a RP guild and stick with it. Until the game's out we won't really know if and to which extent the game will force idiots down your throat. If you can't stomach it, well, cancel your subscription. Boy, if every problem could be solved that easily...

He IS a BIO character, after all. I also disagree with the one-dimensional comment (he's not your paladin-like Jedi after all), but hey, opinions for everyone. Do explain to me however, how is he less interesting or more typical than Edwin or Aerie from BG2 or Marcus from FO2. Since those are games whose writing you praise so much.

Hahaha. It's both funny and sad seeing people wanting TOR to fail so desperately. Funny, because if it actually ends up failing, it'll probably be the end of the KotOR franchise... the exact opposite of what they want. Sad because they don't realize this. LA won't give the thumbsup for a K3 until TOR is already working well, if ever. The reason, other than the insane coordination work it would require is, obviously, that they actually expect fans from the SP games to get into the MMO boat. Ironically enough, that includes those who froth at the mouth when they hear about TOR... they may always shell out an extra few if a SP game comes along, but they won't be interested in trying the MMO if they have K3. And who knows, you may actually like the MMO! (thanks Purkake)

To be fair, I'm not sure about his stance towards law/order. He's clearly Good, but he doesn't appreciate your lying to get his friend's wrinkled ass off the hook - Sunry is a murderer, but he murdered a clearly evil person that was using him for her own ends. He's actually happy when he gets taken away to the electric chair. Yay for alignments, anyway. edit: maybe he IS senile, after all?
