7 years on, and RPGCodex is still buttmad about Megaton. The more things change, eh?

Spoiler

I'd take "Well, okay, as long as you're sowwy!" over Little Lamplight and what they did to Harold any day.

Everyone knows Todd Howard ghost wrote New Vegas.

"Puhtrolling the Mojave almost makes you WISH for a NUCLEAR WINTER!! lol j/k "
"When I got this assignment I was hoping there'd be more GAMBLING!!!" LOLOL jks :-PP"

all their stuff is red and you lose karma when you take it, because everyone in the whole world instantly knows you just stole it.

Karma is the cosmos or something seeing you take someone else's stuff.

Or even your own conscience.

I think in Oblivion you got this occasional message which said something like "your actions are beign watched".
One of the worst immersion killers for me is this shit about shopkeepers knowing which items were stolen or not.

 

[DosBuster]

hate on bethesda as much as you want, but those sales figures pretty much tell them not to give a fuck and do whatever they feel like doing and not what some pole living in poverty thinks

Totally agree. A loud "ARTIFICIAL BALANCING" right in your face.

Yes, and they did get better with Skyrim (compared to Oblivion and F3). So there is hope to get a game that is actually good.
Very little hope to get a good RPG, though.

I really hate it when, after you kill a nest of baddies and are all alone, all their stuff is red and you lose karma when you take it, because everyone in the whole world instantly knows you just stole it.

I mean..

Karma (Sanskrit: कर्म; IPA: [ˈkərmə] ( listen); Pali: kamma) means action, work or deed;[1] it also refers to the spiritual principle of cause and effect where intent and actions of an individual (cause) influence the future of that individual (effect).

Karma doesn't neccessarily mean outspoken opinion of someone. I would never say oooh that guy has bad Karma, he's a dangerous guy. Karma is this more esoteric spiritual bullshittery thing that some hippie's people believe, AKA what you do will come back around. If your a dick, then eventually something bad will happen / vice versa, if your a good person something good will happen.

I get your point though, considering your karma does directly affect certain things in the game. It's not explicitly an alignment shift or faction reputation shift though, it's just an abstraction of that whole "cause and effect" thing.

Typical Fallout 3
You found 2 crates, one opened, another with medium lock.
Opened contains 5 mines, closed one is filled with 3 mines.
Because Bethesda.

InXile are guilty of that as well.

 

[Decado]

LMAO @ all of this anal annihilation. At least FO4 seems to be encapsulating what Fallout is about: humanity rising from the ashes. FO3 did a shit job at that. I say we wait for gameplay and more details to arise before we write the game off as utter shit.

And I say you should shut the fuck up. Shut up. Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

 

[Killzig]

So Three Dog's hosting a radio show in Boston now? Hmm, maybe they can dig up the Master to be his co-host... then they could have more super mutants.

Maybe the BOS ran him out of DC after they got tired of his shit. Or he's just on tapes that get distributed through the newly restored NE Corridor Amtrak. A post-apocalyptic Wolfman Jack helping you find that beautiful blonde cruising in the white corvega.

I love how short Todd is. You can just tell that all of the "Todd is Awesome!!" faux-kidding-arrogance is a defense mechanism for being short. A tiny, tiny man.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

That what they call A Napoleon Complex?

 

[Metro]

The stacks of $100 bills he stands on adds a good two feet or so to his height.

 

[imweasel]

If only Todd could stack 100 dollar bills to become a good game designer.

 

[Jimmious]

I wish Bethesda would allow Larian to make a "spin-off" turn-based isometric new Fallout game. Just to pay respect to the originals. Of course if they wanted to respect them they wouldn't have released 3, but hey I can say what I wish for..

At least is not

Larian is not really an improvement over Bethesda writing wise, in fact Larian might cuck it worse than Todd.

Larian's deliberate funny writing stuff is infinitely superior to bethesda's lolsofuckingbad lulz.

 

[Decado]

He's actually a pretty nice guy, and the only reason I crack jokes about his height is because I am short (5'9"). Short guys are allowed to bust other short guys' balls. But talk about Golden Handcuffs. At this point he probably couldn't even leave Bethsoft if he wanted to.

Except most of their "deliberately funny" stuff is painfully unfunny.

do they even know larian exists

 

[Jimmious]

Ah screw the writing people, I want turn-based goodness. They could employ some of the F2 writers, why the hell not.
Imagine a Fallout with the combat mechanics of D:OS!
