It seems <a href=http://www.nma-fallout.com/>No Mutants Allowed</a> is still in love with Fallout and they finally decided to propose by writing a love letter wherein they count the ways in which they find it beautiful. Actually it's a new (albeit too damn short) article called <a href=http://www.nma-fallout.com/article.php?id=35764>"The History of Fallout"</a>, and was written to clear up frequent misinformation about the game's design and the process in which it was made:<blockquote>It had been clear from the beginning that Fallout was a game strongly rooted in the pen-and-paper tradition. To the Fallout team, this meant giving the player as many choices as possible, each with its own clear consequence. Tim Cain summarized his view of a good RPG in the following passage:
<br>

<br>
“In a good RPG, you should be able to make a good variety of starting characters and then develop them in very different ways. Your choices should affect the game in meaningful ways, both in the ongoing game and in the ending you get. Of course, the game should be fun to play and easy to interact with, but that’s true for every genre of game.”</blockquote>Silly Cain, don't you know choices are the root of all that's evil?

Thanks, <b>Kotario</b>!

So simple, so true, so not the current RPG-formula.

"In a good RPG, you should be able to change the physical appearance of your character, and then develop your combat abilities through loot. Your choices should be of the "Yes"/"Yes, but not right now"-sort and should not in any way affect the game in a meaningful way, not in the ongoing game and not in the ending you get. Of course the game should be pretty to look at and dumbed down, but that's true for every genre of game"

Did everyone forget that Tim Cain is an OBLIVION FANBOY!? We must excomunicate him from the Holy Mother Codex, submit his ID to gay porn sites left and right, flood his emails with tubgirls and get a realy hard hammer.

See, pictures like that just reinforce the stereotype that PC gamers are pasty, fat, nerdy white boys in glasses who grow pubus on their sweating blubbery faces and quote bullshit they think makes them really profound and maybe will encourage a similarly fat, pasty and sweaty intarnets lady (she's probably also a goth) to PM them and ask for sex.

Being an athletic black man with my own personal harem and various knife scars on my body, I find that stereotype negatively affects my image.

Someone fire up Paint Shop, to follow the great codex traditions. Otherwise it would be not the first but horrible sign of downfall.
