We only talk about Fallout

[thepixiesrock]

Psh, whatevs.

[Atreides]

My complaint's I only get my fav gun (some kinda rifle thing with ridges and cool sounding firing thing) like 90% into the game and I don't get to have serious fun with it.

[Fenghuang]

To be fair you can take just about anything any time you want to as long as you have the balls.

 

That was one of the reasons I liked Fallout.

[Atreides]

Thing's the rifle's not always available at the shop. Usually only available towards the end of the game.

[Fenghuang]

Oh.

[Tigranes]

If he means Gauss rifle, there are... means.. to get it early.

[Arkan]

The times in Fallout when I was waiting "minutes" between turns really seemed few and far betwee, and never did they happen with rats involved. Only major time I can remember was in the Boneyard where everyone in town had to move because that was essential a town battle in turn based. A little annoying, but definately not enough of a detriment to make it horrid.

 

I'm not sure how many times I've played Fallout and still like the combat. Something about it is just fun and it can't be explained.

 

Oh, and if you can't hit anything, you're obviously not good enough with whatever weapon you have equipped. I suggest raising said skills.

You know what's funny?

 

This thread.  This thread is very funny.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

So how's work at Bethesda treating you nowadays?

[Fenghuang]

More importantly is the combat in Fallout 3 no longer a total snoozefest?

[6 Foot Invisible Rabbit]

Yes, it shall be Oblivion with guns.

[Kroney]

I quite liked the combat in Fallout, although I do distinctly remember being bored whislt everybody in a mile radius took a turn during a combat between three people.

 

I was bored waiting in the nineties, so it's got nothing whatsoever to do with it being fine for the time or modern gamers being used to faster-paced combat.

 

The game was badly executed in places (broken quests, unfinished content, the combat issue) but overall a tremendously fun game. It *can* be fallible, you know.

I think my feeling about Fallout is pretty similar to Kroney's.

[6 Foot Invisible Rabbit]

What we need is a Fallout using a stable and working ToEE engine.

[Fenghuang]

So anybody got an opinion as to the popular 'Morrowind with Guns' claim about Fallout 3's combat?

 

Shadowstrider?

[Dark_Raven]

Awesome just bloody awesome!

[Fenghuang]

No, you're missing the point. The combat in Fallout was baaaaad.

 

It makes the Baby Jesus cry.

It is better than Might and Magic and Diablo.

[Fenghuang]

 

Now you're gettin' it!

 

So what kind of guns will I be able to use in Fallout 3 and how easy will it be to perform head and extremities shots in first person?

 

How fleshed out will the melee combat be?

 

Will I be able to use sledgehammers of doom?

Gods, I would hate to play Fallout in first person. I hate playing in first person.

That's about the size of it.

 

A very good system as a way to (micro-) manage the character and all the NPCs in the vicinity. Not so much fun to play, though, as it tends to become quite tedious.

[Darth Drabek]

I already stated my opinion in the other thread about Fallout so I won't pontificate too much here, but I agree with Feng.

 

The combat was innovative, but way too slow. I could take my turn, go make a four-course dinner, then come back and take my next turn.

Your feelings about most things are pretty similar to mine. *Except* about the possibility of a torrid affair.

 

Ergo I hate you.
