Sand Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 (edited) Link please. Nice one. You know as well as I do that was on the BIS/IPLY boards and those died long ago. Suffice to say you haven't changed a bit in like 7 years. The thing is BIS did change what I would have disliked, what would garner a no -sale from me, about IWD2 prior to release. They did make the game acceptable and got rid of those stupid kits, the part of the game I would have hated and not buy because of it, from second edition. And once again Llyranor is being an ass without actually adding to the discussion. How typical. Besides, its not like I am clamouring that it must be 2D or strictly turn base.

stahlej Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I was hoping Bioware or Obsidian would end up with Fallout. Bethesda has never made a smart and funny game like Fallout and I am sure they will fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theslug Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Man you guys are a bunch of negative nancys. I'm sure it'll be just fine in the hands of beth..... There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorth Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Every time a Fallout fanboy complains, god kills a kitten. The average life expectancy of cats just dropped significantly. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Sand Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 What I am expecting Bethesda's Fallout to be is like Stalker, but with character creation and stats that has very little to do with SPECIAL, and the third person toggle. Might be a good game on its own, but would make a terrible Fallout.

So you expect it to be better than you expect? How does that work? I didn't expect much from, say, Jade Empire but was surprised by a couple of things, even if in the end I didn't enjoy the game that much. Same will likely go for Fallout 3.

I agree it would. I think that might be something that Obsidian could work on with the new Unreal engine after the Aliens game.

Sand Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I am thinking that it would be an extension of what Stalker could have been if they made it more of a CRPG than a FPS.

mkreku Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 STALKER is not a perfect game. It could have benefited from a world more like the one in Oblivion (huge area with almost no loading times instead of the different zones surrounded by barb wire fence) for example. But I would love to see more games with such a fantastic atmosphere that STALKER has. Easily the best part of STALKER and something I hope Fallout 3 will aim for.

mkreku Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 You mean real life is open for abuse? If you practice something over and over, you're bound to get better.. I loved the system in Wasteland.

Maria Caliban Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 (edited) Zoma "So it'll be just a Stalker clone?" I think it's natural to bringing up the last notable game in your memory banks when talking about a good game you want made. STALKER had a good atmosphere. It's one of those games that makes you appreciate how far graphics have come. karka: "I think it's a system which is very open to abuse. " I agree with this. It's a bit like making an XP system then filling the map with respawning, wandering critters. QFG was well designed in that it had an energy meter that let you train only so many times per day, and you could never train up a skill that was at 0. If you wanted to use a skill during the game, you had to put points into it during character creation. Edited April 15, 2007 by Maria Caliban "When is this out.
