Todd Howard: We Have Three Big Projects in Development

I agree. But Codex is full of storyfags.

You should next time go through enough trouble to at least bother to pick some avatars for yor alts, now it's just low-energy.

I don't even like Arcanum or PS:T much so I don't have much of a need to defend them. But just because a game has shit combat or balance doesn't mean everything about it is shit.

If the gameplay portion of the video game is shit then I'm afraid I have some bad news about what is the appropriate adjective for the game

This!

There is more to gameplay than just combat in Arcanum or PS:T, that's the point.

Ahh, historians ain't sure. It's either groping or g-spot exploring.

So, for you, combat = gameplay?

Anyway, my post from another thread

I'm a newfag in cRPGs, and I also have no experiences with PnP RPGs, but isn't non-combat skills checks part of gameplay in RPGs? If so, then games like Arcanum and New Vegas actually had a decent balance between combat and non-combat section, and thus quite a good gameplay.

I'm extremely baffled with some here who would argue how they enjoyed New Vegas BUT didn't enjoyed Arcanum. In some ways, New Vegas and Arcanum had this similar situation where they were initially released as a buggy mess of a game, and also had pretty shitty combat gameplay mechanics. The difference is that:

1. New Vegas was severely held back by a shitty engine, shitty design decision from the owner of the engine, and having to please console audience, Arcanum was not.
2. New Vegas's scope of the gameworld was severely scaled down, Arcanum was not.

To me, Arcanum was actually much more fun and feels/plays better, because I had this newfound adoration for Top-Down Isometric Turn-Based games. Sure, the combat mechanic of Arcanum was kind of messed up because Tim Cain and co had to develop and balance it around the use of Turn-Based AND Real-Time combat, but it still plays better for me.

Also, what baffles me even more is how aweigh stated he's a combatfag, BUT he is defending New Vegas as if New Vegas had better combat gameplay than Arcanum (as an RPG, that is).

the great thing about the codex is that we're all adults so we have these mature discussions

 

[hell bovine]

well, considering the number of questionable porn mods released for Bethesda games, it wouldn't surprise me if that is how Todd-the-serial-killer understands RPGs

Spoiler

don't you mean stimulating discussions?

Oh you're one of those retards who think that dialogue based on your character's stats is not a part of gameplay.

Kill yourself.

Oh you're one of those retards that think this is awesome:

Player_1: Hey Witch of the forest, I need to save a village from plague! Plz give me a potion.
Witch: Ahahahahaaaaa! Fool! Why would I part with my precious potion?

1) Cuz I will run 40 minutes of errands for you.
2) [Diplomacy] Plz be a good person for once.

Witch: Oh ok then here is the potion.

When i read Pussy grappling i somehow got reminded on how Link sounds when he grapples with the hook.

I grappled the baby momma's pussy once. Didn't go as expected.
