Got no time. Need to shoot... maybe if the mod provided a new perk for my Cannibal... Necrophillac, then yes. There will be killing and raping.

WTF are you talking about, Bro?Darth Roxor said:
Bro, we all appreciate what you went through when you played all of Arcania for our amusement. Your suffering will make you forever a True Bro, and I for one believe you should have
tattooed on your forehead for all eternity - or, at the very least, a custom Codex title.That said, when you talk about New Vegas, I'm forced to wonder if the experience of Arcania has fried your mind in ways you might not yet even realize.

I believe he wasn't commenting the look of the sky but the fact that nights in both games aren't dark enough. And he's right. It's especially funny since some weapons can have a night vision scope installed - what for? You can see everything perfectly anyway.Silellak said:

I dunno; he compared it to Arcania, which is subtantially worse:Jim Cojones said:
I'm not saying nights couldn't stand to be darker, but comparing it to Arcania is...something else entirely. Hell, if nothing else, at least New Vegas has a full day/night cycle.
Nothing should be compared to Arcania. NOTHING.
Side note: started my "might makes right" playthrough early because Arcania was just that boring. Helping the Powder Gangers take over Goodsprings made me feel bad... fucking silly empathy for polygons. New unique quests already though, hooray!

Made it past the dreaded ghoul quest. Reminded me a lot of Fallout 2; while the subject matter was unbearably retarded, there were enough choices and options to make it bearable, and there was something for every character to do. I loved the fact that even the "diplomatic" route resulted in two different endings depending on whether you'd brutalised your way through the other Nightkin or stayed your gun hand until you worked out the full extent of the situation; is this an approach that will pay off in the rest of the game? It's not really one that games normally reward you for taking, even good RPGs, so I don't want to waste effort doing it again if it was a one-off.
Also, helping the human scientist kill off the retards to the tune of Ride of the Valkyries was immensely satisfying. My "kill people for being retarded" approach to game morality is resulting in a rather high body count so far, but it's oh-so-satisfying to be able to follow through on it with suitable consequences (people being glad that the retarded people have gone away).
Anyway, so far, it feels very much like Fallout 3 done right. That is, it's Fallout. It's very much Fallout. I'd go so far as to say it incorporates more skill checks, alternate routes and rewards for unconventional thinking than either of the originals ever did. However, it's still very, very much wrapped up in a new shit packaging, and if you can't get past that, it might not be worth it. I'd say "did you enjoy Bloodlines?" is a pretty good test.

My view of FNV
Once you get past the bugs - for me it tends to crash +++ on startup, only to sort itself out after 20 minutes play - and if you can cope with the shitty inherited engine, its actually a pretty good game. Feels like Fallout encumbered by a shitty engine.....

Advice if it crashes that bad, play in windowed mode, the BGB engine tends to have an issue where it freezes the rendering layer, but not the whole computer, appearing for all intents and purposes as having completely locked up. Playing in windowed reduces the impact of this.Fuck_The_Banks said:

Well, it's not exactly AS bad as in Arcania, but it's suffering from the same syndrome.
What comes to your mind instantly when someone says 'night'? Because for me it's 'Can't see shit, cap'n', not 'hey, the sun finally stopped blinding me, let's go on a fun stroll through some forests now that I can see everything!'.
So far, Arcania is a better game than New Vegas. At least it was playable

What the fuck is this retarded shit? Who designed it? It's down on Fallout 3 level and makes the ghoul quest shine. I don't mean just the artillery, but pretty much everything about Nellis AFB, apart from the AFB itself. The characters are terrible, their "story" is fucking dumb and so are related quests... Fuck.
