Hipster!!!!
But I didn't like F3 because I played the first 2
Hmm. I think I might purge my folder full of stories and story ideas again. Gonna have to look through that stuff before I do so.
I found the third one a relatively decent post-apo game, which for no discernable reason was marketed as Fallout.
I fully accept New Vegas is the better game, I just like the East Brotherhood faction more than any of the New Vegas one, basically.
The Mojave Brotherhood is like the Brotherhood Outcasts in 3 I feel
Also interesting factiod, there is a Brotherhood Knight called Arthur Maxson in Lyon's Brotherhood
I actually don't mind people coming here in droves. I'm only concerned that we should have the right forum infrastructure--moderating and bandwidth--to handle them.
Re Beat Angel Escalayer:
We've spent more than a year detaching ourselves from the notion of being a TV Tropes refugee site. I'm not keen on reverting back to that label.
Not that we should turn people away or anything.
I've lost interest in TV Tropes a long time ago, but still don't mind having an occasional chat about it.
That said, it would be great if there was more people, but there's nothing wrong with the number as it is now. It's a small, cozy place where everyone knows each other.
Well, if we talk about the merits of TVT and its policies, I just ask that we talk about them civilly and intelligently. This site is not a site for TVT apologism or for sniping at TVT; those would basically be importing drama anyway.
Well, it's Easter.
So, the festival thing. It went well, even though I didn't sell even one photo. That sounds odd, but given that I had fun and learned a lot about selling stuff (one thing I learned being that that isn't really the right venue to sell relatively expensive things). So I think given that I enjoyed myself and gained knowledge that will make my efforts at selling stuff go better in the future, I can't really say it didn't go well.
Since I'm being all productive and stuff, I think I'll work on my RPG.
Urgh, I feel sick...
and TOR still hasn't downloaded. >=(
Our Star Wars discussion a few days ago has reminded me that, A. I never finished KOTOR, and have not played KOTOR 2, and B. I've never played any of the Jedi Knight games.
I intend to rectify all of this, starting today.
Don't bother with KOTOR 2.
Is it not good?
The story is pretty bad, the characters are pretty dull, and there's no real improvement in gameplay.
I liked KotOR2. I'd say it's worth a play despite its huge tutorial. It also breaks away from the moral dichotomy usually present in Star Wars media. Sometimes this is annoying, but I think it pans out pretty well overall.
I'll give it a shot when I come across it.
In the meantime, BUNDLE GET.
Right, well, recently I've managed to log over forty hours in the game in less than half a week, so let's see if I can explain what I like about it.
There is shit to do beyond the main quest. I mean, in most games, there are sidequests, and maybe an extended quest chain or three, and that's it. As great a game as Mass Effect is, there's not all that much to do beyond quest after quest after quest.
In Skyrim, you can just walk around and explore the game world, for hours on end. You won't actually run out of things to do for a long time; whether you're just looking to explore a new cave system and perhaps figure out the story of the place (Woops, I accidentally finished this quest before I even started it), or just looking around and fighting things in the overworld, there is that much to do that it gives you hours upon hours of entertainment. And, yes, most of it is forgettable; which means that when the time comes for you to do it again, you've forgotten most of the game world.
There is shit to do outside of killing things. Yes, the game has the same problem that RuneScape has, of all its' skills being devoted to making combat easier, but hey. Who gives a shit? I can just as easily spend six hours delving into a mine, mining the ore, then making full sets of plate armour for sale as I can spending six hours killing another hundred generic enemies I've killed a thousand of before. Or I can spend half a day wandering around the cities, picking ingredients, so I can make a bunch of potions. Yes, ultimately the game all revolves around making combat easier, but it's not all about just going out there and killing a dozen more bandits.
And lastly, but not least to my mind, is the fact that the game is fucking easy. It makes no pretence at being a hard game. Anyone who is willing to invest enough time in it can discover one of the several dozen gamebreaker builds that makes the game easy beyond belief. Very few things can actually pose a threat to you at later levels. However, that doesn't mean that things can't kill you if you act stupid. It doesn't ask you to die half a dozen times before figuring out how to beat a boss, it just asks you to come back in five levels and steamroll over it.
I'm quite impressed by the cleverness of the arrow challenge in Mulan. Disney movies can be good at disguising morals as riddles.
Actually, RuneScape's problem is that almost none of the skills have any relation to combat (or anything else) whatsoever, and so there's absolutely no reason to increase them except for the sake of increasing them. Almost all the items you get as a result of skills can be more easily acquired by other means, and often the things you get from killing monsters are better than anything you could possibly craft yourself.
Also, almost none of the things you like about Skyrim actually sound like good things to me... >.> But whatever, that's just a difference in preferences for games.
I like Skyrim primarily because of how easy it is to break.
Nah. Fishing = Food (Which heals HP), Fletching = making Arrows, Woodcutting = Getting Wood (Which also means getting fires to cook food, healing HP, and being able to fletch), Mining = getting ores to Smith, Smithing = Making better weapons and armour, Prayer = getting better prayers which are usable in combat (Like Protection from Melee/ranged/Magic), Slayer = getting better gear as rewards, Hunter = getting better gear for Crafting, Summoning = Summoning, Runecrafting = Making more Runes for Magic, etc.
Yeah, it's a thing of taste. I don't really like games that involve nothing but killing the same bunch of enemies dozens of times, and I don't like games that are overly challenging because I hate repeating the same segment of a game more than once.
It's rare to see another person who genuinely likes Runescape.
I would like it enough to actually play it if the game didn't require so much damned tedious grinding.
It got better than it was a couple of years ago, in that regard.
I know. My brother still plays it.
But when there's an investment of over 24 hours just to get one skill above 90, fuck that.
You guys should have played Tibia, it's like /b/ made MMORPG.
