Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel

Yo!

I've already mentioned that I purchased this game in the haul thread, and after playing a bit, I've decided it needs it's own thread.

Rather than coming up with something new to say about the game, I'm simply going to quote what I said in the haul thread:

It really is a great game. The dialogue is freaking funny, complete with foul-mouthed local yokkles (ridiculously foul-maouthed, if I might add), and it recreates that Fallout feel quite nicely.

There are three characters to choose from, a black dude, a white chick, and a "ghoul." I picked Cain, the ghoul, and doscovered that the dialogue, apparently, is taylored to the character you pick. No one but Cain can scare the mayor of Carbon into giving him a few free caps just by commenting on his own deteriorated appearence. I like nice little touches like this.

The game plays identically to Baldur's Gate: DA, so I'm not going to say anything about it outside of the fact that I love it.

I have much more to say about the game, but I'll save it for later in hopes that I've inspired some of you to come on in an sound off.

Hmmm... I may have to pick that up when it's cheap.

Whatever. I want my fucking Fallout 3.

I already bought one spinoff (Tactics, which was a great fucking game by the by). I want Fallout 3.

I was just waiting for some impressions before I bought this thing. They seem to be favorable, so I'll have to pick it up soon. :)

Very soon, hopefully. Then I might actually have someone to talk with about it.

And for the record, I bought the XBOX version (just like I always do). From what I've seen, the XBOX handles the game more effectively. I even did a side-by-side comparison in the store. ;)

I might give this a rent now. Shoulda been Fallout 3 :curse:

Like Diff said, we already had one spinoff. There is no need for another. Christ, what's next? Fallout Tetris?

Aw, come on, man. They're just diversifying the Fallout universe. A universe, in my opinion, which is worth diversifying. If you love Fallout so much, I fail to see what the problem is. You're almost garaunteed a Fallout 3. What's the harm in branching the series out, especially if the spin-offs are so damned good?

I thought F3 was pretty much canceled? Maybe I'm just bitter.

Like I said man, I'll give it a rent. Maybe you're right. :cool:

Oh . . . uh . . . I hadn't heard it had been canceled.

Crap. Maybe your anger is warented after all. :sweat:

Except that they're not branching out, they are taking Dark Alliance and moving it a few hundred years in the future. It's not a good thing.
