Well I was trying to hint at more information being displayed from your perspective. I didn't enjoy FO's combat, I don't like the Hex grid system it uses for a start, and alot of the combat does feel very point blank without any particular need. So... What's so bad about ToEE's combat in your opinion?

I'd certainly try an English version, my German is so awful that I dare not trys it...

I often try to borrow games from a friend before I buy. ... Grey area... Very grey area... LOL

Hmmm... Is that not SUBJECTIVE...

Good to see I'm not the only person who enjoies the old Bards Tale games...

ToEE but no Fallouts or PS:T? Anyway, my list is quite similar to many others in here PS:T and Fallout are fun games, but the fact that the combat is quite poor in both these games certainly diminished some enjoyment, they're both classics I can't knock them in that respect, I've just had alot more fun playing ToEE because of the combat, and the fact I have a genuine like for the engine. ToEE isn't a classic, sure, but I have had more fun with it.

I wouldn't accept anything anyone said about a game till I've experienced it myself. I do think its all too common that people in the industry start hyping games up based on false pretense, I think it's abhorant, but I also learnt to stop listening to anything and make my own opinion and ignore the devs very early on. People pirate games based on the fact that they don't even know if they will like game X, because they can't trust what dev's are saying. If anything it's a public relations nightmare. So I don't disagree with you, it's that I'm finding you have a negative enthusiam which I find entertaining .

Is that directed at me? If so, I don't know what it means. Sorry. LOL!??! It was directed at you, and everything you've said for the last 3 pages, no offense intended . What can I say, you really don't seem that happy Bethseda are working on FO3... Or perhaps it's just Todd Howard. I'm actually looking forwards to some kind of rant when you've played the game and had a good amount of time to dissect FO3. I expect to see foaming at the mouth!

Cynical much?

. . . Regardless of the fact that some of these were buggy... 1. Mass Effect. 2. Arx Fatalis. 3. Dark Messiah. 4. Ultima Underworld. 5. NWN 2. 6. Baldurs Gate 1. 7. Race Driver: Grid. 8. Supreme Commander. 9. Vtm: Bloodlines. 10. The Temple of Elemental Evil.

Certainly that would be better than nothing.

Agree'd.

If it was Bioware flexing its muscles surely KOTOR 2 would have it's forums over at Bioware aswell. It seems fairly straight forwards that the reason is publisher driven, and based on keeping the community coherant and in a single place so as to avoid a split in the fanbase so to speak...

That doesn't mean FO3 will be a bad game in its own right. It may very well suck donkey nads, it may be a good game in its own right, anyone who's pretending it'll be a great and authentic continuation of the series is clearly not looking correctly. My impression is that FO3 will be different, yet somewhat the same due to setting and branding.
