    I'm sorry but that intro looks like a bad episode of Power Rangers. Not in a good way though.

    The intro doesn't even tell you what your first task in the game is (which isn't to go destroy an enemy base). It just shows that a guy got murdered.

    The point yes, the reference no.

    Unless you're making a more general point that the intro sounds like it's aimed at a low INT retard, in which case, uh, okay.

    I thought it was for Fallout 1's overseer telling you to go and destroy the Super Mutant's if you have low intelligence.

    It sounds like you have a problem with the concept of a heroic premise. Lyric Suite would not approve.

    I can't do anything about that, but I would note that the Rangers aren't actually portrayed as purely heroic. Their eviction of the criminals from the prison is stated to have been a morally ambiguous act that had dire repercussions.

    I imagine the founding story of the Brotherhood of Steel in Fallout was inspired by this.

    Also, there's a bug in the AG. center basement.. East corridor side.. you cannot repair the crane or whatever... it says it requires cybernetics.... no such skill in the game anymore.. and even with mechanical repair.. I cannot repair the crane..

    Yeah i noticed that to, but i just bashed down the barricade. The problem with AG center tho is the entire level and quest design, it's a pain to get through and not even that interesting, much more than highpool, and after playing both several times i will always opt for highpool just because its faster.

    How is the performance guys? Does the CPU starts to take off in outer space with all animated stuff on screen? Because i fear it will be the same as with E:Conquistador and similar games...

    It's funny, because while Conquistador was burning Nvidia's cards, I have played on full details with no overheating on my HD4000 :thumbsup:

    Highpool not showing up bug is a general bug related to the new map. Basically mouse over the location, save your game, exit then reload and it'll be up. It's very annoying, also the bright and shiny hugeness of your tags is so distracting that when I went to tag you just now for a second I thought I had the wrong poster.

    Crane..crane, I think I know what you mean, the machine that's supposed to get through all the rubble for you? It worked with mechanical repair for me last patch but I haven't gone back there yet.
    As for performance, it's eh, decent in most places but often I suffer low frames, lowest as low as like, 12-14,(Ranger citadel mostly.) and my specs are better than the recommended.(I7, 12 GB RAM, etc)

    I thought the intro was... not great but I don't really care. I'm happy they didn't waste money on a fancy introduction. At least, I hope that they didn't waste a lot of money on the creation of that thing.

    The intro isn't mind blowing but did the job right. The post apocalyptic new old west is something I fucking loved in Fallout and the intro fit right on my tastes. The voice over that was a little fucked up but nothing big. The writing is decent, not too much exposition, slightly biased towards the rangers as any group speaking of themselves should be but I hope that in the end the other factions aren't cartoon evil people. I approve, something to set the tone of the game without blowing thousands of dollars in it and fuck CGI, nothing better watching people LARPING and imagine how awkward they are feeling.

    Will this game get a physical copy release? I guess there are physical copies as part of the kickstarter rewards but will it be sold in stores at release?

    Yes, it'll be in stores. Distributed by Deep Silver.

    Whoah, HD4000 :O I think that's considered below spec for the current build, tho we're not yet final on requirements obviously.

    Shouldn't that be Computer Science, since Synth Tech got folded into that? Descriptive texts on a lot of places still need changing for skill list changes tho. Either way, you can get around it.
