That is definitely how it should have been in the first game.

 

Personally, I think it

Wasnt that fairly common until recently? In BGII, if you take the evil people (Edwin, Korgan) they got pissy when you did good things (raised rep) and left if it got too high for too long, and vice versa with the good people.

Isn't everything new just something old put into a new shiny box?

They're talking about personalities while fighting, not C&C.

Nope.

Fallout 2's personalities were done simply by what types of tactics were available to them though, right?

I would reverse that and say that the combacy tactics were dictated by personailty type.

 

Myron the wimpy scientist had distinctly different settable combat options, mostly variations of "Piss trousers and run", from Sulik.

Yeah. Still, the illusion is more than nothing.

My statement was more along the lines of, the combat personalities were dictated by the options you set in their tactics and whatnot.

 

That is, if you could set Vic and Cassidy to the same thing, they'd behave identically in combat, despite personality differences.

 

 

 

We're both just saying the same thing.

Wait, the companions in Fallout 2 actually did something based on what tactics you gave them?

 

I never experienced that. Seemed like regardless of what I requested of them, they were mostly there to accidentally shoot me, get accidentally shot by me, or to inexplicably use the melee weapon in combat instead of the gun I gave them despite me telling them to equip and use it, setting up a scenario where they'd rush in get shot to death by everybody in the firefight.

That might be the case haha. I don't really remember.

 

All I really remember (and I might not even be right!) is giving them permission to (or not to) burst fire.

Burst or not, distance from you/enemies, chem use, who to target, weapon usage (melee only, melee then ranged, ranged then melee, ranged only) could be set.

The problem was, "make absolutely sure you don't hit me" only applied to you, not the every party member.

Gotcha. And yeah, that would probably be true, though there was quite a bit of variation, on what options were available for each player character and also how effecdtive they were within those parameters. You could set both Cassidy and Myron to some sort of similar attack from range thing but Cassidy would blow the crap out of people while Myron was still pretty useless.

Well that makes sense.

 

Scope is going to kick people's ass more than Igor. Cassidy is just a more effective NPC.

At shooting yes, but he can't make stimpacks.

Or annoy you to death. His death.

He can annoy himself to death. As in, if he annoys himself by taking drugs >.>

My monstrous personality found that hilarious.

Holy potato! Subject Zero, eh? Another renegade. Where are all the nice people at? Also, 10 party members is confirmed.

OH YEAH SHE'S HARDCORE. **** YEAH BADASS PUNK BITCH WOOT.

 

I think that put me off playing the game.

Is (s)he romanceable?

 

If it's really a fish, the mating could be interesting.

If she really is a romanceable fish, then all my excursions below the equator would not have been for naught.

Apparently took the "everyone's crazy" theme and run with it from DA to ME2.

I think that put me off playing the game.

 

Yeah, I thought it was pretty embarrassing.

 

If ME2 doesn't allow me to continue with my paragon character then I probably won't bother with it.

Subject Zero, eh?

 

She looks like a few friends of mine - albeit with a few less clothes a few more, but not many more, tattoos.
