History repeats itself.
One of the reason why Fallout 2 has stupid shit is because iply was listening to their fans from iply forum. And iply forum was full of retards and biodrones.
If Fargo will listen to these morons from W2 forum W2 is lost.
I really want to be wrong though.
Cool story, since I'm pretty sure Fallout 2 predates Baldur's Gate (the first Bioware RPG)
It doesn't matter, biodrones are a certain types of people who exist well before bioware was created. One can argue that biodrone=certain type of retard.
Pretty much. Everyone who's been around iply forums in their glory days would attest to that. Retards and sycophants were the vocal majority.
From a 2003 thread dedicated to Fallout 3 design ideas gathered from the iply forums (god bless Google):
The weapon nut: "I'd also like to see stuff like Halberds, Swords and Shields, Bows and Arrows, maces, pikes, flails, Panzershreks (German Anti-tank weapon from WWII), the MG-32 (German machine gun, akin to the M-60), the entire weapons list from Fallout Tactics, a Musket or other muzzle-loader...."
The pro-boner quest designer: "I don't know, a new type of quest could be something like you where hired for as a hit man to kill a person and bring there head back. So you eventually find the person you where told to kill but you have a choice of either kill the person and return to the man you who hired you with the head or you can talk to the person and find out that they are incredibly sorry and they where going to have some expensive plastic surgery done to alter there face but the person could not afford it. Then the person will ask if you can pay for it and you can either say yes or no. If you say no you suggest that you can go out in the wasteland and find a no good robber or a slaver and kill them then chop off there head and pay the sergeant to manipulate the robbers head to match the persons exactly. Then you can let the person go and you can go collect your reword from the man who hired you."
The rapist: "Oh yeah, and more blood and gore. And throw rape in there too, if at all possible."
The family guy: "If marriage is in F3 I think it should be fleshed out, maybe one good girl/guy, one inbetween, and one slut, with accompanying side quests (Dads sick must go home NOW or help the Bos, Sulik and the wife getting it on, what do I do now, etc...) with the opportunity for the wife/hubby to increase in skill as any other npc..."
The crazy sci-fi guy: "Why not a fusion cell powered vault axe that kinda looks like a light saber (you all know from starwars) but when it pops out from you clicking the switch it comes out about a foot and has the same look as an axe but it is neon green and slices/burns through objects."
The epic guy: "I really enjoy the CTB system of Fallout Tactic, can you apply it for a massive war scenario..? with dozens of people... and tanks.... and vehicle... with some robot and air attack..... it will become very cool...."
The idiot: "fantastic 3D battle animation form 45 degree perspective.... (diablo II) maybe with some bullet time effect.....the PC can have cool evasion move like Neo.... hey a matrix 45 degree RPG..... I think that cool.....dont forget... Metal Gear Solid 45 degree RPG is also cool...."
The Sims guy: "Maybe one or two small islands off the cost where you could either take months swimming to or take a boat or something. Along with this you could maybe go fishing."
The easily amused guy:
"oh yeah. i'd also like to see a return of the "ask about" feature from fallout 1 if its not that much of a problem.
hours i spent typing in foolish things...
me - "say 'i don't know anything about that' if you are stupid... and smell bad."
tandi - "i don't know anything about that"
me - "ahahah... smelly idiot"
tandi - "i don't know anything about that"
The Final Fantasy guy: "giant swords (so large it takes both weapon spaces and reqires 10 str)"
The stronghold guy: "OWN A TOWN
this is my favorite idea you get to a town thats's completely empty
so you can pay your npc's to work or build things and leave them to gain skill points or abilties as you go adventuring , solve your town's problems and lead them into battle against raiders , the enclave ,ect"
Retards... Retards never change...
