Just FYI, there's a Fargo quote somewhere where he talks about what to do with the funds beyond the original demand and tablets are mentioned as a platform.

Gambling in New Vegas was a means to an end. I never did it because it was "fun". I did it to get the achievement and I did it to get enough caps to fund cybernetics. It was not fun, because it almost entirely relied on your Luck stat.

this never gets old. A gamer can't get more stereotypical than that.

Where did this come from? I think you're taking the locking of your thread a little too hard.

"A minigame inside a minigame inside a minigame inside a minigame? We have to go derper"

This is getting prosperian.

If you've ever worked in a kindergarten, you've probably noticed how one child sometimes begins to chant something, such as "all bears are toys, all bears are toys", then other children will join in with him, so that after a while every child in the room is chanting, "all bears are toys, all bears are toys." You might put in, "No they are not. That one in the picture, for example." They would continue, "all bears are toys, all bears are toys."

That really happens, and quite often too. It's also exactly how adults in academia think and behave most of the time.

Yes! I think current RPGs have barely scratched the surface on this. I've suggested this before and gotten derisive comments that compare it to The Sims. We are all too used to thinking of an RPG as one thing (mainly combat) and a Sim as another thing (mainly household/romance). But all computer games are simulations, it just depends on how you want to spend your time. Wasteland characters should have enough depth of character and ties to the game world that they do individual and believable things, including sex and relationships too. A group of characters who do human things together is more fun to play exploring the desert killing mutants and robots than a cookie-cutter HALO squad of macho rednecks.

He's got a point. I've been campaigning to add turn based tactical squad combat in the Sims community for a while, but they keep locking my threads for some reason. Why can't they just realise that I'm turned off by their boring and unrealistic cartoon combat? Why can't they see, codex? Why can't they see!

Yes, but I'm pretty sure there are bestiality mods for the TES-game if you look hard enough, though you don't see many people clamouring for hot Mutated Dog-Protagonist sex. Mods tend to attract a small audience. Still, it could be a real argument.

There's Lover's Bitch for Oblivion. It adds the ability to "tame" wolves and stray dogs and then train them. You can all store them in a kennel. Different dogs have different stats and give different bonuses depending on how much you trained them. There are also some quests, such as training a dog in front of an audience or befriending ten wild wolves. Your dogs even level up and learn new abilities the more they are trained and knotted.

That's what I heard at least.

Edit: The forums blooows. I want to write a post that'd get me banned almost every thread. The decline/trollage is strong.

With just about one and a half times the necessary funding for the game already promised through Kickstarter, Fargo is already planning how that extra money is going to be used. “Having more money means the writers will get to make the game broader and deeper. The bigger music and sound budget means more great music from Mark Morgan. It also allows for more varied environments, more character portraits and interesting effects like having radiation clouds that float move over areas.”

“In addition to more locations, we’ll have the manpower to create more layered effects based on what the player is up to. Cause and effect is everything in a good RPG so triggering based off more variables makes for a better world. This can range from having hundreds of different NPC dialogue remarks based on who is in the party, encounters that react to what you look like, scenes that open up based on how violent you were or perhaps how low your intelligence is. This kind of depth is what made Wasteland 1 so good.”

Man, I really hope Fargo doesn't pull a George Lucas.

He's got cozy money ahead of schedule, and he's got a loving fan base...potential for disaster really.

I hope he's got some 'no men' on the team to slap him around and keep him straight.

Crowd-funding Wasteland 2 is done, but the fight against the decline is only beginning! Get your ass over to the [official Wasteland 2 Idea Moderator page] and vote NO against stupid ideas and YES for good ideas.

As long as it doesn't pull a Skyrim and have people you walk by tell you to join the mage's college when you're already the arch mage.

Sounds cool in theory though.

Well, this is one of the reasons he brought up himself for getting in touch with NMA (and other fan communities). To help keep em on the straight and narrow.

All his trolling and general silliness aside, this is absolutely right taken out of context like this. See: JA2, Wiz8, X-COM.

The fucker said that the original wasteland was "full of minigames" (when you use a skill on a tile to achieve some end)... so obviously MDF is a troll. Probably Andhaira again...

Helton said:

I am reminded of the legendary Beast Wars episode "Code of Hero" where Dinobot realizes (bringing resolution to an outstanding existential crises) that he is, in fact, in control of his own destiny. His fate is not pre-ordained. "Ironic", he realizes, "for I now find that I have no choice at all. I... Am a warrior. Let the battle be joined."

Never entirely discount the possibility of simple stupidity. Still, probably a troll, yeah.

These are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.

Meh, right now the boards are either populated by inane threads like this one or duplicates of already discussed threads. There's nothing to do but wait for the devs to give some info on the game, so that we can actually discuss something meaningful, rather than "should all skills be useful or just most of them"?
