Good opportunity to roleplay retarded minds then.

So the most rabid bioware fanantiboi calls the codex out for dogging bethesda....
The sad thing is you're right. Just like Oblivion, the codex's criticism goes way, way, way, way fucking beyond "the edgy critical look that the gaming press isn't willing to take", into waste two years of your life tracking down every piece of information about a game you have no interest in playing just so you can pick every phrase apart and lulz it for 4-15 pages.
It drives off people interested in actually talking about games they want to play, and draws in the blathering idiots that pop in just because we're zinging the company they hate better than they can get away with on that company's forum. Ring any bells?

A bit different, since the Fallout name getting bastardized is stirring up the old school RPG fans. The Morrowind fanboys who hated Oblivion never left and there seems to be no Oblivion fanboys jumping on the Codex/NMA hate.
Also, there's no other RPGs coming out in 08 that we know of. It's Diablo 3 and Fallout 3 than shit that's not coming until 2009.

Storm of Zehir, Drakensang, AoD (probably).

No confirmation of any English translation of Drakensang yet. I forgot about Zehir since it's the second (?) expansion, but it's gets decent coverage for what it is.
I'm pumped for AoD, but I think we all got a bit burnt out on following every new screenshot and what not for the last 3 years.

Good to see choice and consequences are in this game - absolutely cannot wait!

Guys, I just got an awesome idea. How about selling a game separately? You want to have the "Badass" stance in AP, BUY THE EVIL EDITION. You want the "Good cop" stance, BUY THE GOOD EDITION.

I remember how I accidentally started a gang war between 2 weapon dealers in San Fransisco. Good times.

As unpopular as this opinion may be, I think it's fair enough that a roleplaying game sometimes offers you the chance of rectifying past mistakes or "missteps" you feel you may have made. I think getting banned from Vault City in Fallout 2 is a good example of how that game could sometimes be a little *too* unforgiving in the C&C department. There was basically no way at all you could ever enter Vault City after pissing them off, except for cheating. No bribing the gate guards or somehow convincing them in some clever way that you were worthy of re-entering. Once you pissed off Lynette, the city was closed off for the rest of the game. This annoyed me a whole lot, especially because you could get yourself banned by doing things you didn't even know would piss her off.

I'm not, but there hasn't been a new screenshot for a while now. Most screens come from Elhoim these days and he hasn't posted any of the locations he's been working on since Teron yet.FrancoTAU said:

Lynette is one of the rare things in an RPG - an unpredictable quest giver and power holder, where how she reacts is hard to determine.
All you know is that if you respect her in conversation she will like you more.
Knowing she is unpredictable, the less you do and the less you talk to here, is the safest option. Otherwise, save b4 talking to her or doing something that may piss her off...

I think I remember there being several different solutions but it was so long ago I might be wrong. I replayed it a bunch of times trying to get the best ending possible.

There was a fuck load of choices for Lynete. You can even be captain of Vault City guard if you play your cards well. To please her you have to kill all the ghouls in Gecko and agree with her views on "slavery" but don't argue with her and call it slavery in her face. You can also get your citizenship papers from another guy but don't talk to her then and still do Gecko and report to that guy.
I don't know whether Fallout3 can address this "successfully", but it is a valid criticism of Fallout's gemeplay mechanics.
A modern Fallout game can benefit from being more telegraphing of the consequences of what player is about to do, to make their choices more educated.
