Preview Fallout 3: the Doctor is Out

[bozia2012]

So, enchanted items are in....great

Should anyone even be surprised?

Radiation is the new magic

 

[Claw]

However, I also left with this worrying thought that I might have killed someone might actually be very important later in the game. That's one of the dangers when you go off script

If he were important, he'd not been killable. Duh!

 

[St. Toxic]

If we kick the brain hard enough we might enjoy ze gaem.

And you should. It's not like any game was an intellectually stimulating activity, it is fucking entertainment. Oh wait, Codex, nerd superiority complex, I forget, move along

Oh, I have a question!

What if... umm... I'm not entertained by mindless hackfesh/shoot-em-up type games?
What if... I'm entertained by intellectually stimulating activity? Like, oh I don't know, a good story?
What if... the irony of the whole situation breaks the fourth wall worse than the terrible AI?*




*Irony: Bethesda's buzzword is "immersion" and their lack of creativity mixes with the Fallout world like water and motor oil.

Of course. How could I be so blind? Clearly, thinking is not fun at all. Now let's commence with the buttsecks and Halo.

I like the way you think. Or rather, the way you don't think. :wink:

*tries hard to emulate bethesdish train of thought*
:shock:

I think they tried to make it so that right equipment (like clothing) affected your success rate with certain skills, for example you're less likely to harm your patient while not wearing your dirty wasteland clothes. Of course, this doesn't make the possibility of dressing up to better heal your own wounds any less moronic. The blood splatter is probably there because its teh cool, or something.

Fuck, I need a beer.

+3 for iPhone and only +1 for the mohawk?

Failure of the free market?

 

[Kaiserin]

Eh, it's not so bad.... didn't FOII have sunglasses that gave you a CH bonus?

It also had a red condom which gave you a strength bonus.

Silly stat bonuses from items would probably be the last thing I complained about when it comes to FO3.

Shouldn't that've been a INT bonus at least? I mean come on, wrapping it up in the wasteland seems like a good idea. Venereal Diseases seems incredibly possible there.
