  1. Glittering Gems of Hatred - part 3

    Ok,I should've been more clear,what I meant was the Fallout universe and the previous two RP games....(I wasn't very clear about that) Of course they care about releasing something they hope will sell,but that doesn't mean they care about FO and its history per se.(only what they want to do with...

  2. Glittering Gems of Hatred - part 3

    Even if I agree with your point that a fanbase can be replaced with a new one...I'd want to hear your reason to why they would've gotten Fallout if it wasn't for the community keeping the name alive...? Well,like written,Fallout would be forgotten without a community that kept the name...

  3. Anyone addicted to Morrowind?

    Since you think BG is a RPG,I'd think you might call Gothic/Gothic2 one too.... (they're imho action adventures) and those are quite nice games imho.(I do like Gothic more than #2 though,grittier atmosphere in #1...)

  4. Games with adventuring parties question

    #1 all the way for me,since I've never been able to understand how you can RP when you're playing more than one char....I'm one person IRL,so that's what I want to play as as well....(those with more control becomes tactical fighters...) FO2 did it just right for me....being able to give...

  5. So who should get the Fallout PC Licence now?

    Agreed with first part of your post,so no need to quote....agree with above too,but want to evolve,so... :) I can to some extent understand IPLY about not caring for anything apart from cash...since they're in deep shit they'd want to make cash fast.... BG: DA2 seems like a good choice for the...

  6. So who should get the Fallout PC Licence now?

    I didn't say they didn't rush it,development time for it was way too short....expansion packs usually take longer and games that by nature doesn't crave much story (like UT2004 which is what UT2003 should've been,much like Win XP is what 2000 should've been...) still takes longer to develop...so...

  7. So... what's the consensus on Gothic 2?

    I count it as linear myself,especially about halfway through the game (same with Gothic) since then the story turns the same no matter what char you're playing/camp you joined and so on. There are no 100% non-linear games so far AFAIK (including MMORPG's I've tried) since you always have a...

  8. So... what's the consensus on Gothic 2?

    Depends on how you mean with interface.... One thing that has changed is when you go for a chest or want to pick something up,it only needs one button instead of two. You still have an attack button and then hit fwd/back/sides to hit/block. Also many had problems with reconfig of keys and...

  9. So who should get the Fallout PC Licence now?

    It wasn't something BIS wanted to do though,it was forced down their throats by IPLY....since they were expecting a slam dunk.... Considering that,I personally think they made a quite nice game...with a better story and such than most other dev's would've done with something they were forced to...

  10. So... what's the consensus on Gothic 2?

    Yeah,the manual is where both Gothics are very far from shining....for Gothic they even forgot to tell you how to get out of transformation....(in one quest you had to transform to a meatbug and I just kept hitting buttons until I got out of it.....) What I do is to zoom out as a normal thing,I...

  11. So who should get the Fallout PC Licence now?

    I know,it was a joke...with some truth to it....since MCA is (by me and loads of people from what I've seen) very respected and I personally don't think he'd join a company that due to leadership would never release a proper RPG and give him some personal freedom creating it.(not at start of...

  12. So... what's the consensus on Gothic 2?

    Tried zooming out a bit from PC....? It makes it a lot easier to see the enemy in front of him. Fights aren't random,they are however a lot about timing your moves....unfortunately for people who jump into G2 without having played Gothic it's not as clear...(since one you met early on in Gothic...

  13. So who should get the Fallout PC Licence now?

    @Major: Don't remember exactly what SP's .sig was either....but I do remember "fighting" him about it... Reason was that the quote from Feargus was something about cool looking miniguns with 3D and since I can't find one single contradiction between graphical goodies and a deep game I brought...

  14. Indie CRPGs - post 'em if you find 'em

    Which proves a point....don't read the nickname (or in this case avatar) and automatically think it'll be a stupid post..... Read topic,then post and then decide what you think of it....if you've come across the same nick in multiple threads posting things you disagree with,then simply ignore...

  15. So who should get the Fallout PC Licence now?

    Yeah,but FO2 was also hurried out,so had they been given more time I'd _think_ it'd also have been more of a game..... IIRC it was only 8 months between the two...and that's not enough time even if you do know the engine and what to do.....(just take Unreal Tournament 2004 as an example,and...
