Well if it
gets done, i'll happily buy it.

As long as there are at
least one or two boxing/tournament subquests. Nothing beats a
hammer-fist to the crotch, followed by a snap-kick in the
eyes.

(edit) The dinosaur/crab thing sounds good, too.

fallout 1's primary plot is a fed-ex quest, for
christ's sake. its secondary plot is saving the world from
an army of SUPAR MUTANTS RARAARAARRR I AM AN ANGRY DINOSAUR
COME TO EAT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

if anything, i think
i have stated that i believe fallout and fallout 2 produced
late-game characters that were ridiculously powerful,
typically only killed by an enemy's lucky critical hit. i am
in favor of lowering overall skill ranges and starting the
weighted scale earlier (at 50 instead of 100). how is this
"uber-powering"?

I think fallout 1 DID not produce
"ridiculously powerful" characters. Basically if you didn't
exp and exp and exp in the wastelands it was very likely that
you got killed anywhere in the game. A lot of people tend to
forget the save and load rumble both of the games
were.

Of everything, if someone could maintain the
strenghts of fallout 2 story, while implementing the fallout 1
character system I would be glad.

In every single RPG
it is the same thing, oh shit failed lets load oh shit failed
lets load oh shit succeeded.

This would mean you pass
totally or fail completely checks and more dynamic
world.

I know that is a lot to be asked, but if good
karma really had effects on peoples reactions I would be sold.

Fool! The true baker knows the
versatility of the art! While he may be proficient in custard,
being able to glaze will allow him to make the eclairs! You

Glazing and plain eclair blueprints cost
precious time and skillpoints, time which you don't have in
the high paced kitchens of San Francisco and Navarro Food

ingredient trading all the more the breeze!

You silly stimulant junkie, you learned
how to bake pies from the hobo in New Reno. No matter how many
secret hobo spices you add, your pies still taste like rat!
You, sir, couldn't get a job at Marie Callendar's, for your
pies are not good enough to eat. I spit on you, I sneeze in
your pies, and your pastry technique is laughable at best.

Lack of experience AND etiquette as well,

Why?

In a well-designed 3D engine, you
can have any and all perspectives you care to have. The only
trick bit is when you're doing interiors.

I'd
rather hope for an engine that can do isometric, over the
shoulder, and 1st-person. More options = better.

(and I
wouldn't mind if it just did over-the-shoulder, which I
suppose is easier than isometric to implement by
far)

HOE OF DESTRUCTION!

Actually...Hoe of Death sounds like a descripton of my
female fallout 2 characters.

And I think Rosebud is the
correct answer, evidenced by his rolleyes directed at my post.
Or maybe I made a bad guess, which is apparantly now the
e-equivalent of an offensive slur directed to his most
venerable ancestors or something.

Let’s fucking hope not.

Edit -
What I mean is: I’m all for multiple height levels, but the
way Tactics handled it was utter shit.

And maybe I’m
missing some subtle joke and being Captain Obvious here, but
