Fallout Fallout et tu (Fallout to Fallout 2 engine conversion)

Do these people also play Elder Scrolls games unmodded, because its more "authentic"?

No, I don't play Elder Scrolls at all - because it's shit.

Do they replay VTMB without the unofficial patch

I've played all Interplay, Black Isle and Troika games without mods, on and off, since their inception.

I love the old games, bugs and all.

It's better than some scrub coming along 20 years later, telling me how to play. One fix-mod that I think is worthy is Temple+ (but I still recommend the original over it).

I am currently rewriting the bible with gender neutral pronouns.

They actually did it with Nag-Hammadi Gnostic Library.

My problem with these kinds of mods is that they change the nature of the game. When you shove Fallout and Baldur's Gate into sequel engines, thousands of things change, but the modders usually document only changes that they think are marketable to the mainstream community, such as "convenience" and "aesthetic" changes (Beamdog being the prime example). They rarely bother documenting how their mod adversely affects the original, authoritative experience. Which is where commentators/critics come in.

Why on earth would a IE veteran who is also a combatfag ever play vanilla BG again? Already in my first playthrough the game started boring me because it was too easy with no Call for Help scripts, for example.
Sword Coast Strategems elevates a mediocre game (in the opinion of this combatfag, at least) to a minor masterpiece.

It seems you're a victim of early onset dementia? I've written what amounts to an essay on this topic.

Now, go and play IWD2. I want to read what you write about it (I enjoyed your IWD write-up).

I don't think Lilura is capable of producing three posts in a row without the word "authoritative" in them.

The equivalent of this level of autism is telling people who don't play Doom or Quake in the DOS .exe are doing it wrong and are missing out on the "authoritative" experience of those games.

You're overlooking that both Doom and Quake are open-sourced

Are you implying that Beamdog did not have access to Baldur's Gate source code, because they did...

So is Jagged Alliance 2. It doesn't seem to matter.

more like vultures picking apart corpses than proper open source ports

Can it really be an authoritative experience if you don't have an old CRT monitor, a mechanical ball mouse, and homework to do instead of playing?

 

[Verylittlefishes]

Why do you people keep recreating and cloning Fallout when you have Atom RPG?

Spoiler

And for the last six months, you haven't been able to post three times in a row without mentioning me.

This topic was on-topic before the troll-'tards dropped in.

Also, to the 'tard who sarcastically asked if I play on cathode raytube, I actually do. From my blog:

 

[jaydee2k]

HERESY! Who needs something like this. Fallout is fine how it is.
Playing as a bald-headed vault dweller? Ah come on...
Same counts for extra weapons etc...

EDIT: NOT TO MENTION THE PUNK GIRL

And don't get me started on Fallout Fixt you morons. When youre in the desperate need to tweak Fallout
a little bit do it by yourselfs. Isn't that difficult to install team x patches or sfall.
But stay away from Fixt. Broken crap!

"Party members can be controlled in combat (Optional)."

This is the part that most interests me. I can give Ian an SMG finally.

 

[RoBoBOBR]

fo2 unarmed in fo1 sounds sweet, good reason for a replay.

 

[Butter]

Lilura do you not think Fallout would have been better with full party control?

I thought women love attention... Oh, wait...

Implying the homework mattered.

Dumbass Noob detected~ Real VTMB players play the game with True Patch, instead of the hilariously misnamed mod that is "Unofficial Patch".

 

[Tacgnol]

Aside from burst fire, I always kind of enjoyed the independent party members in FO 1/2.

Felt like they had a bit more character to them.

 

[Lexx]

Party members doing their own thing is the better experience, imo. However, being able to set combat distance, preferred weapon, the amount of burst to apply, etc. is an improvement I don't want to miss anymore.

 

[oldmanpaco]

I approve of this mod if only because it triggered the ladyboy.

 

[FuckLiefeldGiveMeChew]

I fail to see the appeal of making the first game like Fallout 2. Fallout 1 was a amazing game, with memorable characters, quests, combats and a very interesting world. Fallout 2 cut out almost everything of interest: The game is wildly unbalanced, so boring and repetitive and lacking in interesting quests and characters and a horrible slog whose only appeal is the combat and the endgame, which is the only exciting part.

Ok but nothing of that was changed. Do you think we added trashmob dungeons to Fo1, cut interesting quest and replaced existing characters with boring ones?

I feel really bad for people who worked on hard on this, Lilura and her goons came in and fucked up what should be a positive thread with their retarded opinions
