To me that's not really a mistake. The mistake is tying you to a kid that the game tells you you're supposed to care about. Similar to Dad in FO3 or the Waterchip in FO, forcing that kind of immediacy on the narrative kind of hurts where the fun in the game really lies (IMO) which is exploring the world with the character you've built. Mind you the game has a lot of problems similar to Bethesda's other games, mostly that the factions are mindless and to be honest I'm usually not one to give a flying flip about dialogue choices in a grand sense - most of it has been serviceable IMO - but I have to be honest and state for the record the incredible lack of ability to challenge some of Father's statements at the institute is unforgivable given that this is the moment the game has been trying to invest you in, with respect to the starting narrative. Bethesda has this really bad habit of trying to get you to develop emotional attachments to characters you've known for a matter of minutes. I'll never forget FO3 when Amata said "oh my god, they killed Jonas!" and my honest reaction was "who the **** is Jonas?" Took me another playthrough or two to remember who he was. To be fair, you're not really given a lot of reason to want to save the Vault by finding a waterchip, either, as I recall. They at least let you spend some time in arryo before sending you off for the GECK in 2.

I haven't gotten that far at the institute, but I kind of figured there'd be no way to broker a peace between the factions.

I'd assumed it to be a reference to Kirk having to use sulfer and other elements to make blackpowder and with diamonds and a bamboo like plant create a makeshift gun in order to shoot the Gorn in ARENA season one, episode 18 of the original series. Did I assume wrong?

Oh yeah, you're trying to throw me off, because you're a DEMON-LIZARD, an alien lizard and a demon and in the antichrist-under-the-Vatican delegation who also helped build the pyramids! *brain 'splode*

Your avatar looks like a Red Lectroid from Buckaroo Banzai...which were reptiles...from...OUTER SPACE!!!! Gfted1 is one of them! One of them! Qistina was right all along!

It's true, it's true.

Don't hug them with gunpowder?

They are pretty huggable.

" Ancient Aliens " that stuff will rot your brains and make you start believing in conspiracy theories That's what the aliens WANT you to believe. Drop your brainwashing, dude, THEY ARE OUT THERE and they DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW IT!

Maybe start a thread titled "What do you know about Reptoids"? RE: The link - you mean to tell me when talking about Reptillian creatures in science fiction and you bring up Star Trek you're going to mention the Cardassians and not THE FRICKIN' GORN?????!!!!! W. T. H. ?

Pictures of your Games Episode VII The Screenshot Awakens

So, I found Nick Valentine and freed him from imprisonment. Note to Self: I think he's watched one too many Bogart films. He's agreed to help me find Shaun! Note to Self: Which is better than the alternative, I freed him and he was all "whatever". We plunged into the mind of Hubby's killer to find answers Note to Self: Exploring the past, it seems that Mr. Killer was an ass and got his family killed. Guess he decided to make that his vocation? Afterwards, we needed some recuperation time. Note to Self: During my recuperation time, Curie began talking about needing to better interface with the world...guess I could talk to Doc Amari... -
He said couldn't have done it. Which leaves three basic interpretations 0) They pitched to Disney, not EA. Seems unlikely though, since everyone knew about the exclusivity deal with EA 1) They pitched to EA, but EA is contractually obligated not to subcontract Star Wars titles and he found out about that after leaving 2) They pitched to EA, but EA has a directive not to subcontract any titles to external studios and he found out about that after leaving 3) Bioware/ someone else is already making Kot(O)R so a pitch was pointless, and he found out about that after leaving IIRC (and I may not because, honestly, I don't pay much attention to this stuff) Obsidian/Fergus indicated they planned to pitch/pitched KotOR to Disney before the EA deal was announced. So my (totally baseless) speculation (based on vague wording that everyone interprets differently) is Disney were already working on/finalizing the deal (or had but hadn't announced finalizing it) with EA when Obs pitched so Disney wasn't in a position to approve such a pitch OR Disney plonking everything in LEGENDS but the films and TV cartoons with no plans to continue any of that stuff meant they weren't ever in the market to do more KotOR so the pitch was pointless regardless of the EA deal.

I confess, I barely listen to the radio station this time around.

Personally I don't think Bethesda's games are really RPGs in the right sense. But I long ago classed Bethesda games as their own entity. They are Bethesda Games and they do Bethesda Game stuff.

But so far they haven't been in buildings when I put in feed troughs. We'll see if it lasts.

I was finding Brahmin in the standing buildings in Sanctuary!

Brahmin randomness is held down by putting brahmin feed stations in (cured my Brahmin-in-my-house problem).

So far its just a test pattern (hooked up my old TV set. 200+ years old and still working - that's craftmanship!)

In the "A Man with Fleas is Never Truly Alone" category, as long as the internet is available and one person is reading what you post, you're never truly alone. Doesn't exactly give me much in the way of conversation... Get a voice reading software to dictate your posts and read others back to you? I really got no serious answers.

Do you have enough settlers working the food? After so many planted foods, you'll need another person to work the food.

Instead of figuring out new ways to lose, it looks like the Falcons just decided to give up competing entirely.

I dunno, its a teaser; I'll reserve judgement for the proper trailer. That said, I did laugh at the McCoy and Spock surrounded bit.
