Hope implies that there is a chance, no matter how small, of a positive outcome. Do you see such a chance with Bethesda's Fallout 3?Sander said:Again: hope, and expectation.
I'm not sure how to communicate this point to you, so I'll try caps:Yes. Because you look too far into this. Although it *is* probable that Liam Neeson fits the role pretty well (indeed suggesting a 40-something Qui-gon-like father), it's not as if they actually wrote the role for him.
THAT'S WHAT THEY STATED IN THE PRESS-RELEASE. HOW ABOUT THAT?
*shakes head* Wait, so, the fact that manual says the Overseer is there to help you somehow proves your claims that he does help you? Did I get this right?Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you had the ability to read in context. As that was a response to your claiming that he wasn't helping you throughout the game. Which, you know, that *does* prove.Only in response to silly points like "he is an important character in the game because the manual says so!"
It's been awhile since I played the game. Can you be more specific?He suggests places to go next to, for instance.
Is there any quest that doesn't sound important? Important quests and characters providing dramatic tones throughout the game are two different things.He told you 'The vault's going to die in 150 days, unless you prevent it.' Yes, that's pretty damned important, and that little introductory movie introduced the whole story.
My point is he doesn't have to be the go-to guy unless you choose to go to him every 5 minutes. He isn't a forced character. He's there to send you on your quest, and he is there to end the game officially. That's his main role.Also, your addressing of the point makes it seem as if 'he sends you to vault 15' is the only thing he does and that that was my only point. Again: he features as a go-to-guy throughout the entire game, he introduces the main plot for the first half of the game, he does that again for the second half (even if you haven't encountered the mutants yet), he delivers arguably the most powerful plot twist in the game and ends the game.
Drive me how? By sending the stupid dream that everyone disregarded because it wasn't a timed quest? Come on.No it isn't. He was there solely to drive you, and that he did.
