  1. Fallout: is the Master evil?

    Setting has no spells that detect or operate on evilness so I cannot say

  2. NWN 2 Impressions

    I'm surprised no one ever made a mod to chop the OC down to its 8-10 hours or so of real content, from the, what, 50-60 actual.

  3. Game of Thrones Teaser Trailer

    My first thought as well At least they kept the pauldrons from getting completely fucking bananas

  4. What if Fallout was the 70's in the future instead of 50's?

    F1 was basically: the old world was the '50s, the new world is mostly Mad Max 2 plus the panoply of post-apoc movies and literature (e.g. A Boy and His Dog and A Canticle for Liebowitz) . They really didn't even play up the '50sness inside the vault itself, which they could have easily made into...

  5. What if Fallout was the 70's in the future instead of 50's?

    So fallout is the post- nuclear apocalypse of the future imagined by the American people in the '50s Fallout '70s would then be the post-apocalypse of the future imagined by the American people in the '70s, but the future imagined by the '70s was nuclear apocalypse

  6. How would you make the JRPG genre...

    The stereotypical FF-style JRPG is basically an older version of stuff like Uncharted which is selling a pre-created story divided and served up between discrete chunks of non-sequitur gameplay that has nothing to do with it. They started getting unpopular because 1) they were superceded by...

  7. BROS SO IT IS GENERALLY AGREED

    Use terms like somatic skill or motor skill instead of sounding like a retard

  8. Voice acting in computer role-playing games

    It's like graphics, more and better is theoretically ideal but because of real world contingencies it is stultifying

  9. What would be your all time TOP 3 games?

    PS:T X-Com Whatever fighting game has comp ATM

  10. What if Doom was made today.

    The SS vs. Doom comparison is kinda unintuitive in 2011 'cuz SS was only one year later, but that's one year in early '90s terms. One year of the early '90s is like 20 of these fallen 2010s in video game terms where we can only see through a glass darkly

  11. An Arcanum mod that cuts out the uninspired combat parts?

    Kind of a good idea but your reward for XP grubbing is basically that you can sleepwalk through the trash combat. Without the reward of making the enormous mounds of trash combat painless you may be struck by RPG anomie, this is probably a metaphor for something

  12. Wizardry Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls

    mein gott

  13. Fuck YES!

    People playing Daggerfall should do like 3-4 of the fully randomized dungeon quests all the way through and then from that point you are allowed to use the teleport cheats because you've earned it soldier. The set MQ dungeons aren't as ridiculous though.

  14. Weapon of choice

    It's more like that the purpose of choice is either to let you define the character or the narrative, or to have game win/loss effects (i.e. it's the winning choice vs. losing choices). Aimless choices, like the decision to arbitrarily go left or right at a fork in the road or to align with...

  15. Diablo vs Diablo II

    I never played D2. After I'd played D1 to the point where I was sick of it (I think I probably did one run of the hardest difficulty?) I was like, "Well I'll never play that kind of thing again!" and then I never did right up through several thousand Diablo clones and tangential spiritual...
