Hey there, V8Cougar! How're you doing?

Yes, I've tried F3 already, and I must say it's grrreat! Why, I do have several complaints, but in general it coinsides with my vision of Fallout world. So... I haven't slept much recently. Ohh...

What's your appraisal of the situation?
I'm good; I hope all is well with you!

I liked Oblivion and I liked Fallout, and I think this is a good combination, so I'm pleased. They did a good job capturing the tone, style and humor of the Fallout world. Combat is fun--varied enough so it doesn't become monotonous. The locations seem to have enough personality that it's not "just another sewer". Very open ended. There are a lot of different ways you can approach the game for multiple playthroughs. It's fun to gather items to sell and make things. I love the music. All in all, I'm thoroughly impressed with it.

What do you think of the use of VATS when you have the ability for real-time combat? That seems to be a common complaint from people who are complaining.

Have you been drawing? I notice you haven't posted anything recently. (The same could be said of me, though...)
Good to hear you're fine! I'm quite OK, too.

I've never played Oblivion so I can't say anything here, but I guess F3 is pretty much alike it. Yeah, the wonderful black humor of the original game is rendered fantastically, as well as the style of the 50's! GNR radio station is the pinnacle of both, I guess. "Today's weather is extremely violent, with the chance of dismemberment" - yay for DJ Three Dog! Combat is nice, sure, especially when the world all around you is fighting in real time mode. I still expected they would let me throw spears and knives and Molotovs... Ahh... Well, OK, the locations rule, especially those with high radiation levels. You can't protect yourself completely with a "nice boost of Rad-X", which is closer to reality. A very wide personal approach to the solution of the game - thanks, Bethesda, you did it! And they really introduces a whole series of hand-made PA style weapons. Railroad spike gun is my favourite!

Well, at first I didn't like the VATS at all, but later kinda got used to it and even came to be fond of it. When you are aiming at an Enclave soldier's head with Lincoln's repeater, you want accuracy, and VATS is all here for you!

My biggest complaint is the experience cap at level 20. It pisses me off, really. Less relevant, but still important is the partial loss of Fallout language. It wasn't common spoken English, it was a whole new language with long and cool words like "Whatchagonnado naw?" or "Whazzat?" or "Arencha robot?" I liked it so much... such a shame this language is lost.

I've been drawing, but haven't been posting for some time. I'll take care of it soon, if I have enough time, though.
Wish you inspiration! Let's draw a lot of great stuff!
Molotovs would be awesome.

I've been waiting for a chance to break out my Advanced Radiation Suit and some Rad-X, but I've never been in danger of getting killed by rads. I just eventually get radiation poisoning and get a doctor to heal me.

So far, I like the Shishkabob.

To me, VATS is cool. It's not like it's super accurate at long distances (without the right perks), so it doesn't feel like cheating or anything.

Yeah, I was surprised at the cap. My character is at level 13 and I haven't even seen my father yet. With RPGs, you look forward to the progression of your character, so I'm not sure if playing after level 20 will be as rewarding.

I agree about the language. It doesn't feel as hopeless and devolved an environment to me.

I've been working more with pens, doing little experimentations. I'm supposed to be doing a wild west comic book with a friend, but since he's not pressuring me, I don't have much will to work on it. Not to mention the fact that comics require a lot of dynamism to be engaging and believable and I've never been good at that... I'll try to complete some finished works and post them!
yes i'm a gators fan in TN
Oh yeah! another Gator!
