  1. RPG clichés

    Craprunner: Thats right, I knew I might of been in error on that point (hence, the 'I think', hehe).

  2. RPG clichés

    Also, MF, Im just going to agree to disagree with you here. I think we will both butt heads on this and not really get anywhere. I have played alot of games and, while some are quite entertaining, none have moved me as much as a well written literary work. Personally, I like fantasy, but...

  3. RPG clichés

    Kafka was actually a businesman. None of his works were published until his death (I think). Generally, his life sucked, he lived in the shadow of his father (who thought his writing stunk) and he never had a fulfilling romance. You will find that many of our great literary minds were not super...

  4. Troika's Market Strategy- Good Idea?

    First you state that the only people who like the game are those that are attracted to lewt. Then you state that the only people who like the game are those that are wowed by the level 30 cap. In both instances you act like a total damn snob and mouth off by insulting the GAMER instead of...

  5. Troika's Market Strategy- Good Idea?

    Look buddy, who wrote this: "Many people also like NWN, which was fairly pitiful as far as I'm concerned. Most of the people out there don't notice the detail of things, they're only concerned with how fast they can level up and what cool items they can get along the way. Fallout 2 is a fine...

  6. RPG clichés

    Frankly guys, games are not great works of art. Their stories are not crafted with the steady hands of a literary master. Characters tend not to be as multi-facted as something you might see in, say, Euripede's "Alcestis." Themes are never as psycologically unnerving as a work by Foucolt. I have...

  7. Troika's Market Strategy- Good Idea?

    Scuse me, "son," but at least I am not trying to get personal. Hey, I may throw a little 'tude but I dont resort to the kinda crap you were shoveling. So just up the maturity level two notches and we will both be more content, ok?

  8. Lionheart: Interactive Combat: a humble request

    Saving Paul matters. Also, choosing whether or not to bring the doc with you matters as well. I mean, ya, Deus Ex was linear. So? God, I mean, 99% of all rpgs are linear. Few that are non linear are without some glaring flaws (example: Morrowind, not exactly great if you ask me). Since when...

  9. Troika's Market Strategy- Good Idea?

    Also, my last game of FO2 (where I did almost every quest), I was like 23 then had to level a bit before I went to Horrigan. So, heh, once again I think you are resorting to exaggeration to get your point across.

  10. Troika's Market Strategy- Good Idea?

    Proverbious: I dunno what is wrong with you, man, but, heh, if anyone needs a personality rehall...or a personality in general.... Yes, sure, there was some strong anti japanese sentiment BUT any student of history worth his salt knows how to read past that and look at greater socialogical...

  11. Troika's Market Strategy- Good Idea?

    Proverbius: "Yeah, damn me for expecting the same level of quality in a sequel." -Um, well, to quote the Big Lebowski, that is, like, your opinion, man. "Also, post WW2, we weren't that big on the Asian thing. It took a few decades to get over the whole WW2 experience. Top that off with...

  12. Troika's Market Strategy- Good Idea?

    Sounds to me like you are just nitpicking, but, heh, whatever. Also, I liked the diverse town themes; while certainly different from the Fallout 1 world, Fallout 2's heterogeniety can be viewed in a positive light as well. Certainly, all the locales did in fact fit fairly well with 1950's...

  13. Black Isle Studios are hiring!

    I really really REALLY do NOT understand where you guys get off insulting PS:T and FO2. Those two games are EASILY among the best RPGs ever made. I'm sorry if they are not original enough for YOU or do not fit in YOUR limited criteria of "good." But by and large, most serious (meaning: non...

  14. Troika's Market Strategy- Good Idea?

    Well, I liked Fallout 2. Sure, it had some bugs, but, heh, Fallout 1 wasnt exactly bug free if I recall. I do admit, Fallout 1 was grittier but Fallout 2 had some serious charm. I always shoot to have enough charisma and endurance to drug up and be a pornstar and sexpert (not to mention, pimp my...

  15. Lionheart: Interactive Combat: a humble request

    Constipated Craprunner: Damn right!
