Incline Chris Avellone Appreciation Station

Same reason as to why the crash site in Arcanum sucks ass. They're supposed to be tutorials, not challenge areas. TBF to the temple except for the final tribal it wasn't that hard, just tedious. Still, it was very possible to die if you didn't already know what you were doing, and that runs counter to the purpose, no? I like both tbh, but for different reasons than what they're there for.

The crash site is way better though.
Talk to Virgil, find the Molocchean Hand amulet, kill some wolves, boars and rats (in the cave). You could have some trouble if you don't have points spent in combat skills, but Virgil can usually take care of the critters for you.

Yeah I never understood all the crying over the temple it is super short, I see people here play shit with 20 hour long intro sequences and not bat an eye.

It's longer than it should be and it makes no sense. Who built this thing and why? As Timmy said

Killzig: Where the hell did the idea for the temple of trials come from ?

Tim Cain: Marketing demanded a start map that acted like a tutorial. DEMANDED. As in, you cannot say no. Blech.

Killzig: So basically if marketing hadn't demanded it, would you agree that it didn't really fit into the scope of the universe?

Tim Cain: I agree

Tim Cain: My opinions are no longer canon Killzig

 

[Wunderbar]

They could've designed it as an actual part of the world, grounded in reality. "As a trial of passage, The Chosen One must go on a hunting trip to a nearby grove and get a gecko hide". Boom, done.

Instead they've built a freaking stone temple.

It was the source of many memes, at least. Mentioned in the Fallout Bible.

Isn't it just an old vault repurposed as a challenge course?

Chris Avellone says he doesn't know and guesses it was a church or museum? No one put any thought to it.

 

[Feyd Rautha]

Tribals wouldn't be able to build that. That's the number one thing that annoys me about the temple. I can buy that it's a repurposed Museum.

 

[Modron]

Fallout 1 and 2 are kind of grounded in real world locations, not really aware of any museums built into cliff faces in southern Oregon. Don't get me wrong would be cool to be wrong.

 

[thesecret1]

You should ask Pete Hines for his opinion on the temple. I'm sure his reply would be very enlightening and put the debate to rest.

It must have been a late pre-war building.

 

[Alienman]

What about the head found inside the village? It's similar to the one at Temple. Any lore behind that one?

Probably dedicated to the Vault Dweller, I am guessing, since he is the founder of Arroyo.

 

[Alienman]

Could be, but looks very similar to the Fallout pre-bombs architecture. With that I mean, there could have been a bigger settlement here, hence the vault/museum or whatever.

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

They could repurpose an old stature, recarve the face to make it similar to VD.

Its Eothas.

Run you fools

Of course it's a Vault Dweller? There's a special encounter with VD statue too, wtf asking for lore on it

 

[ERYFKRAD]

I don't remember Vault dweller being bald, do you?

 

[Nifft Batuff]

There is still a body under the head.

It was very interesting seeing how quick people were on Reddit, in general, to throw you away after worshipping you and your work for years. Then this judgement finally came out and suddenly they loved you again and forgot all the nasty things they previously said.

If only it was just Reddit

Poor Chris seething that we and I guess neogaf were perhaps the only communities not to turn on him.

The wolves are a challenge to some people.

Why would he be seething?

 

[LarryTyphoid]

Tim Cain: Blech.

I hate this old fuck so much, typing like this is something only old gay retards do. "Blech!" I don't know why but it makes me irrationally angry when they do this.

 

[Roguey]

Why would he be seething?

He would surely like many more communities on his side (particularly the people who make the hiring decisions) and of course he doesn't agree with most of us politically.
