One shall stand, one shall ball.

They might have changed it, I don't think Nuka Cola gave you and rads in the original Fallout. It was slightly irradiated to give it it's signature glow, but not enough to bother a human.

lol a single syringe could do the same thing ;(

And there's Skyrim where you chop a small log in half and end up with 10 pounds of wood in you inventory somehow. Vidgames are super weird about inventory space.

Oh man I played through Borderlands 2 for the first time recently. It's a pretty good dumb shootmans.

i didn't like it as much as b1, but i also didn't play it during a great time in my life, so i want to try it again

Fuck though did they not give you enough inventory space to start with. Like what's the point of a loot game if you can't carry every goddamned thing.

Not impossible

just highly unlikely

I am of the opinion that B2 is ridiculously better than B1.

heh i guess it doesn't bother me too much because you quickly learn what's good and what's not

red chamber dream

i dunno tooz, just never did it for me

again though i think it's because i played basically the same type of character as i did in 1, and it got boring

Yeah I never played the first one, I just picked it up cause it was 10 bucks and I heard it was the best one.

It's not about "good" it's about I want to carry and sell all things.

i also think 1 has better locations and better (i.e. less) humor

has anyone played pillars of eternity? speaking of loot games, been wanting to check that out too

tomatobob

I liked Pillars of Eternity quite a bit. Not sure I'd call it a loot game, though, there's not much in the way of drops.

Well, like, there's items you get from quests, and I guess legendary items in shops and a couple out in the world. But you aren't going around looking for some purple items or anything. If you want one of the good swords you just go get it.

You aren't going to be farming anything. Which is I guess what defines a loot game for me, you are largely just playing through the story and doing side quests to gain levels to make the story easier/because always do all sidequests.

yeah PoE is more in the way of a Dark Souls loot system, you aren't going to get spammed with greys and shitty blues from every mob you kill

I like turtles.

Anyone know how best to troubleshoot a questionable R button on my DS Lite? It still works but I have to actually think about how I press it as opposed to its being instinctual.

It's been really hard to play MZM on a system where I can't toggle missiles reliably.

Does anyone else believe the Harry Potter universe had tons of potential for a decent RPG? Even Elder Scrolls-Esque?

Whether you're a fan or not, you can't deny how fleshed out the universe is - if Rowling is good at anything, it's world building for sure.

I could imagine a very enjoyable, ambient RPG taking place within the universe, perhaps before Potter was even born; during Voldemorts regime.

hmm I don't know. There's something kind of Mary Poppins-ish about Harry Potter, like I'm just waiting for them to all break out into song. Not sure how to get rid of that to access the sweet fleshy rp fantasy-fruit underneath. It's just kind of there and won't go away.
