What, to you, constitutes Elder Scrolls "flavor"? Are you referring to "swords and sorcery," "first-person," "topic lists," or something else entirely (or all of the above)? I'm really curious to know where YOU guys draw the distinction. Basically all of the ...

Emil, I'd just like to say thanks. You've put me at ease quite a bit. For a while I was afraid that your were going to, simply put, fuck it up, but now I see that you do care about the comunity and do want to keep the game Fallout-y. You have no idea how glad I am that we're not dealing with another...

All of whose weapons? Most of the US's military weapons are domestically made I believe. Maybe 30 years ago... Now we use Itallian side arms (M9), Belgian mashine guns (M249), and the XM8 which is looking to be our next generation assault rifle... its GERMAN! And as for ruskie weapons, I have no pr...

worth of the name Fallout 3rd person shooter that's an oxymoron friend! honestly I disagree... it could have been done well, as I atleast consider the fallout universe flexable. Sure, I'd be ready to lynch the bastards myself if they called it Fallout 3, but spin offs don't have to be bad.

To make POS not suck.

What would have had to be done to that rancid lump of shit game to make it worth of the name Fallout while keeping it a 3rd person shooter.

oblivion.

Kotor actually has diologue and can be amusing if you don't go into it expecting much in the way of depth.

I still say combining Doctor and First Aid makes them too damned powerful as skills and I also think that the biological science aspect of the Science skill should be combined into doctor if its not already.

Well I think most people here don't ACTUALLY think it's horrible interms of what it was ment for (As a tac squad game), it was just this really big let down that basically abused the license. I have no problem playing it, but as you said, it really messes with the license for it to be TOO enjoyable...

Guess that goes to show that no one here really likes FOT...besides Danny boy. I think its decent. Not great, but playable. Problem is that they fucked up and made it a poor mix of tactical game and RPG without the best qualities of either. It good for when you want to blast the shit out of somethi...

I still think we need a demolitions skill and I still think medic and athletcis are a VERY VERY bad idea...

"science could be expanded to include science"? What the hell are you talking about? Science = regular old science (chemistry, biology, etc.) plus Computer Ops (more abstract stuff like mathematics, plus, obviously, computers). also, if you're going to argue for an electronics skill, then...

I think you are being a little to overly harsh there bud. Also, you're looking at everything through the eyes of the game, this is a tabletop RPG. If someone wants to use throwing, the GM will put throwing items in. Just because there weren't a lot in Fallout doesn't mean there won't be when you ge...

okay, here's my thing on skills. some ideas are mine, others stolen from je sawyer's thing here: http://www.diogenes-lamp.info/wiki/index.php?title=Skills i think we should bother to establish what skills should actually be used before we start messing around with the percentages involved.

We already had that, it tanked and everybody went "What the fuck, Chuck?". :p

That's the thing, having anything less than large dialogue trees is unacceptable. This is Fallout - "yes I'll help you", "no, i'm busy", and "rumors?" aren't going to cut it. For me, the lack of dialogue (ZERO DIALOGUE) along with level scaling ruined Oblivion, and I'm...
