Duck and Cover

FEV infected Raccoons. The Holodiscs from FO1 indicated that some of these escaped the testing facilities. I'd like to see these giant super-smart coons. :joy: I had originally thought that the Deathclaws were perhaps from these but why would Raccoons lay eggs? I could see the Deathclaws from FOT be...

There's 4 votes now. Why don't they just edit Fallout Tactics and play as a Deathclaw from the start in it? :-P Playing as a deathclaw would be the equivalent of playing a 3 int (or less) character that is heavily focused on unarmed or melee skills. Just replay FO1 and 2 with those stats... The only...

i think if you have in < 3 and you want to get into the brotherhood, the fella there just pities you and lets you stroll on in. but i might be lying? still, the pity of others will get you far. Actually that's the only case where I've gotten something for free. Aside from the crazed gang member in ...

Whenever I am in combat and right click while holding shift (immediately after firing a shot) the game seems to crash.

Is this a common problem with anyone else or am I just lucky? :-P

I'm replaying the first Fallout with a low int. character. Even though she has high charisma, people still don't like her. :-P I'm hoping I can use mentats and get inside the BOS and get her Int up to 3. Or will she still be dumb as a brick? xD A low int character is probably the most difficult way ...

I've always thought that Sasha was the one un-killable unit in the entire Fallout game. Are you saying there IS a way to reach her? :-P

I've never had a mac though.

In FO2 I didn't realize that when dead bodies stack on top of each other, and you try to loot them, there's arrows so you can cycle trhough them. It used to piss me of so much - trying to click some edge of a foot or hand to loot the body/bodies on the bottom, and never getting it. Years later I re...

Does he only give you +1 luck on the third draw? I was thinking there was a way to get up to 3 luck off of him. Or was that a bug with 1.0?

I can't really remember my first time playing Fallout. Although I do remember having fun replaying the demo a bazillion times. xD It was especially fun playing around with the targeted shots. I recently replayed Fallout with a somewhat "newbie" outlook. As in, I went to places only after f...

It would be funny if the N Korea scientists were showing off a model to their superiors that they thought was safe, and they all died shortly thereafter of radiation poisoning.

He does have a point about the gear though, which is nearly impossible to find for your specific character type unless you trade for it. Gear which you HAVE to have for Hell difficulty. That's the main problem with Blizzard's game designs. They think you should have to play coop in the hardest place...

I've been running it with VDMS and it doesn't happen as often, but it still happens. >.< As ApTyp said, press F1 when that happens. It's a lot quicker than moving the mouse cursor around. Plus there is no loading when you press F1. It just brings up the help screen. Update: I just finished the Glow ...

Funny. I'm having the same problem. I don't suppose the unofficial patch fixes it? :-P

Yes. I've only read a few so far. Elven Nations Trilogy Volume 2, the war of the lance trilogy (about Tanis and friends), and of course Doom Brigade. I got a bunch of fantasy books on eBay and I've been reading them in my spare time. Also a few Forgotten Realms books too! The Moonshae Isles books ar...

Indeed. The first Diablo had a really cool feel to it. Diablo 2 was comical in comparsion. Just compare the snake creatures for a good example. Of course, all the new unit types in Fallout 2 had that same goofy/fake feel. The boxers, the bouncers, Vic, the people in San Fran. They all had a very &qu...

They were also working on Oblivion at the same time. So it's not really surprising. I'm just curious as to what their next project is going to be. Apparently rumors of Fallout 3 and an Oblivion expansion have both been dispelled. Maybe when they said "any time soon" they just meant "n...

It's funny. I was just glancing through this and noticed there are (mostly) no good ideas. Or just more crappy satire. (barf) The first one mentions it taking place in Canada/Alaska, but mentions the Chosen One.... Can't we get away from the previous two stories? All connections should be broken. Th...

Doom Brigade is Dragonlance. The Black Company isn't.

Oh. Scared of elves? There are none in Doom Brigade. I realize they might freak out some of the more sensitive DAC members.

I guess that means if it wasn't for NMA then this site wouldn't have any news? xD

I'm just kidding. I'm sure the DAC staff could post more "I'm gonna hate FO3" propaganda for the billionth time.
