I wish I couldve had more of a rampage in raven rock. It would be really fun.

I loved it. Finished twice (good guy, bad girl :D ).

I did not really like the main story arc, but the optional quests and the general feel of the world is awesome. I really, really loved the Enclave buildings and high tech stuff. :)

fallout 2 VATS melee system was exactly the same as ranged. :| hitting someone with a sledgehammer in the head was always cool.

well yeah probably, but this phrase was totally confusing:

I do not understand why it doesnt work with melee weapons but with nades. Well The entire body would be caught in the explosion I heart Tesla armour BTW

Yup, although the real names were altered. I think it caused controversy over in Australia so Bethesda renamed them. Morphine for example is called Med-X

Great game and it is very true to the series in almost every aspect. It didn't fall victim to bloated expectations and delivered very well.

Sad that the capital area isn't completely free roaming. Gives the metro area a purpose though, so I can't complain.

I can run Oblivion pretty much maxed out with a 10x7 resolution and get steady FPS beyond the 20 mark in all situations, but i can't make Crysis run with more than 7 FPS no matter what i do (outdoors, that is). I'm not sure why your system can't handle Oblivion Saz, especially with your vid card - i'm on similiar specs with less RAM and a 7600GS, and i'm doing quite fine. It's definitely good news to hear that the game is running well for you though, since that increases the likelihood of it running well for me too, which is great!

Laz, sorry to hear about the sloppy german version. I have to admit, the only games i own in german are Starcraft and the Gothic series, and i do not plan to change that at all, especially with all the talk about cutting 'inappropriate' content from german versions of the games. On that note, weren't they planning to cut away the drugs feature from fallout3? Can you use drugs in the game, Laz?

Honestly? Because amazon.com does not ship the pwnage survival edition (including pip-boy 3000 waistwatch!) to my country... tough luck.

I got the "ordinary" collecters edition and here it is in german. I could try to get some imports, true. But then it also depends on the costs, etc.

But as a nerd I am surely getting myself an english Fallout 3 sooner or later, heh.

playing most of games in original language is almost a must tbh. if u understand english really well then why buy the game in your native language when the voiceacing and stuff like that will definitely be of worse quality than original?

Quote:
It's the same engine after all, just pimped


skill system is different :)
its pretty much fallout-like.
then the obvious fail of oblivion - level scale. as in when u level - mobs level with u... its not present in fallout. which is definitely good.

So that might be a reference how playable it might be on your system.


like i said before... oblivion looks sort of nice and works like shit on my pc. fallout on the other hand. looks much much nicer and everything is very very smooth. fps is 2x better and quality is 2x better too so... :p

So far I find it pretty epic. Only drawback is the - for my taste - aweful german localisation, and the game did not come als Multi 5 or anything else language wise. The german voiceacting sounds not "honest" in any way. And frequent mistakes in subtitles does not make that aspect better. Might try some english version sometime.

For the scaleability... I dunno, could you play Oblivion? It's the same engine after all, just pimped. So that might be a reference how playable it might be on your system.

The only strange thing is the "twist" I was prepared for: This is not a real Fallout - well, it's 1st or 3rd person... has to be different - is has not the same feeling...

But hell, I like it :D

spore was a fail.
Fallout definitely isnt.
while oblivion went shitty no matter what i did with my pc, fallout runs at high smoothly with fast loading times etc.
my pc is 9600gt, ~2gb ram (i always forget the ammount tbh), p4 3000mhz. :)
i played witcher also, trust me fallout has learned from the past mistakes of oblivion and other games :)

as for the game itself... its ok i guess...
i was kinda disappointed that i couldnt use VATS (or whatever that targeting system is called) on melee weapons. :<
what else... stealth is a little weak.... yeah it helps... :)
the whole lore/quest stuff is great tho. much more interesting than quite dull oblivion secondary quests (not countin the dark brotherhood tho). :)

so yeah i guess the game lives up to the hype at around 65-70%... and in general game is 7-8/10 :)

But yeah, i'll be playing it sometime next month or so. I hope the visuals are sufficiently scalable to allow for adequate FPS even on low-end systems; witcher sucked in this regard, and developers are getting more and more intolerant towards people who havn't upgraded in the last 4 years.
