NO I'LL NEED THIS FOR THE END BOSS
If you mean the Alien Blaster, then it goes to Inventory Level 4. :thumb:
Well I'm aware I might be biased, because F1 was the first true RPG I ever seriously played, so I didn't experience any better inventory concept before. (would that equal to "haven't been spoiled"?) :p

Why has that video gotten so big lately? I when I was a kid my parents had it, and I saw it all the time.
Long story. Short version: 4chan.
Oh, and by the way...

Killing children? Whores? Dark humour? Top-down? Surely thou jest! :thumb:

I think "top down" was referring to the previous games, which they claim to be departing from. While the Gamebryo engine can do strategy/iso games (Firaxis uses it too) I'd be surprised if Fallout 3 weren't a first person RPG.

Killing children war largely unrewarding in F2 and I doubt that many people found appeal in that - having companions of bounty hunters armed to the hilt on your tail everywhere you move wasn't at all funny. I tried it once and the game sucked.
Dark humor and sex? Of course it will be there, don't you worry for that. Bit it will be carefully measured on pharmacy scales not to ease the omnipresent atomic gloom. The less stupid jokes and sex, the less idiots will flow into fandom.
The more F3 returns to the dark post-apo F1 canon, the better - it's only good they're taking example of the first installment instead of the second one which was afterall, mind you friends, just a quickly forged, not thoroughly polished bait for hungry fan crowd.
I'm ready for some f****g heavy post-apocalyptic depression in first person, if necessary. Even 9 years back I was imagining how it would be to experience that world in 3D and first person perspective - now it's FINALLY possible! C'mon Beth, give it to me. You want it. I want it.
Make it your own way.
If I ever get a spasm of isometric 256bit color nostalgia, I know where my old Fallout CDs are.
Fallout is dead, long live Fallout.

You're one damn optimistic dude, that's all I'm going to say.

I installed Fallout on my mac, loving it so far but I think I have a bug. When I look at one of my party members I get "He looks: " with nothing after it. From what I can recall having played Fallout 2 a while back this is meant to say "He looks: Seriously wounded" or whatever his current status is. But it doesn't seem to work, so I can't get any feedback during combat (or otherwise) on what their health level is like. Is this a known bug or am I missing something? I have version 1.2 for macintosh.

I think - and don't quote me on this as it's been a while - that you need to get a certain perk to be able to see the health status of other characters.
Every three or so levels you get to choose a new perk from a list, it'll be in there somewhere.
Now that I think about it, it may be that that perk only applies to enemy NPCs, and possibly only in F2. :confused:
I'm really not sure, sorry.
Shakey-Lo on 9/6/2007 at 13:22
yeah there is a perk that says it will let me find out more about people by looking at them, I just seemed to remember it always doing it in Fallout 2. Maybe I was wrong. Seems strange to always have a blank "He looks: " if I need the perk for it though.
Jonesy on 9/6/2007 at 14:07
In the original Fallout, the skill is called awareness. Without it, you should only be able to see the general health of the NPC in question. With it on, you should be able to see it in terms of HP. It's generally the first skill you get in Fallout.
Shakey-Lo on 9/6/2007 at 14:19
Yeah but I can't see anything. It just says "He looks: " and that's it. No HP, no general health, nothing.
