    Why is Fallout New Vegas considered good?

    Fallout 3 proved, not that there's any doubt but the Morrowind fanbois keep denying, that Bethesda writer department just cant step up the tasks. From talent, to ability, from range of topics, to depth. A lots of topics in Fallout 3 that we keep complaining about, can be dealt with if the...

    Why is Fallout New Vegas considered good?

    The solution for you is extended level threshold mod, aka raise xp req for each level to make you stay lower level longer. It also provide an incentive to do low level quest, because you need every piece of XP. If you are bored of playing through the official route, you can do the adrenaline...

    Why would you not know it first? Talk somebody/someone into suicide at end stage is a Fallout tradition. The Master, some scientist at Oil Rig, Eden and somebody that you talked into getting inside the purifier...

    Decline Video-Game Executives Lament Lost Creativity at Developer’s Show GDC

    I have to say the continued popularity of Fallout New Vegas (with mods) and Fallout 4 show that people can accept AA games instead of AAA. The question, as always, is that it's hard to make a good game whether with AA or AAA level of graphic.

    Why is Fallout New Vegas considered good?

    VATs, baby, VATs. It's a good tool to have a good breath in a middle of firefight, as well as checking immediate, local, threats. I know a lot shooters like to play F3 as a FPS, but honestly, you can only do that with easy difficulty. The leveled creatures ensure that you need VATS to pump 100...

    Why is Fallout New Vegas considered good?

    This one actually have an excuse. Aside from console optimization which is a major consideration back in the day of PS2/3, it also fall on the F3 optimization, so to speak. You youngsters play with newer stronger machine so you didnt know, but back in those days, F3 is horribly lagging for...

    I can't think of a single RPG that depicts sex in a healthy way.

    Next to zero money, then trigger an encounter with trappers. Not easy to do since we like to have some at hands. So when we meet trappers we generally forgot to drop money onto a container nearby~

    Why not create a "Codex Top X Modded RPGs"?

    Mods are something niche by both users and creators. By niche I mean that not everyone agree with the vision in such mods. Take Jagged Alliance 2 for example Vanilla JA2, with patch upto 112, is something absolutely different to mod 113. And while a lot of users like 113 and its doodads, I...

    Fallout New Vegas DLC thread

    Dead Money is very much aesthetic. Vibe. The red cloud plus bomb collar make for some restrained exploration and it feel very much 3D, nothing in F3 come close. The stories are is nice, but well, there's some lacking in more storytelling about Vera vs Dean, or more about crazy Elijah him being...

    Fallout Project Arroyo - Fallout 2 total conversion in FO4 engine

    Arroyo or F2 remake is actually feasible with F4 engine and color themes, if only because F2 themes are much more colorful than F3 and FNV. F3 impress the need for cold blue urban ruins, while FNV stress the yellow sandy and some pink despair. But F2 can range from urban ruin The Den to...
