He said he's tired of standard fantasy though, and DA's world is as standard as fantasy gets. I will echo those recommending Deus Ex and the first two Fallouts. People have mentioned Shadowrun Returns, and if we're counting still-in-development games, then I will throw out Wasteland 2...

Do you eat inhuman amounts of rice, have a strange sense of humour, run some sort of store or service, and only hang out with other Filipinos?

I am quoting one guy. It can be therefore logically deduced that I'm addressing that guy. If I was talking to "all of you" I would have addressed all of you, but that post sounded more like a salesman than a satisfied customer.

Do you work for Valve? OT: I actually really hate when I have to use Steam, because I vastly prefer to have my games safely on my hard drive rather than locked behind a service which can go down or malfunction at any moment. Of the online services, though, Steam's probably the best one...but...

Infinite. The first Bioshock is overly derivative of System Shock 2, and the second one is a cash grab. Infinite is original, has improved shooting mechanics, and some good characters. It's the best game in the series.

In FO2 Harold was the mayor of a growing little town, and quite happy with his lot. Why has he traversed the continent and amassed a cult of idiots. This actually damages your argument. It's not a "continuation" of the Enclave, just a regurgitation. The whole idea behind the Enclave was that...

Yeah, it's a diversion from the main story to look at something else going on. A spinoff. And like I already said I think the Fallout storyline might be pretty much wrapped up in NV; to progress further in the same area would be to turn the series into straight sci-fi and no longer really...

Explain to me how the Fallout storyline is progressed in any way in FO3. They use a lot of the same names, yes, but they are completely detatched from the actual factions as presented in the other games. Whereas in NV they're progressing in a way that's congruous with how they were...

Way more than FO3 for reasons explained in my previous reply.

Every owner of pink Nintendo handhelds I've known has been an adult male.

It's a dumbed-down ripoff of System Shock 2 with an admittedly unique setting and cool atmosphere. No, it wasn't as good as it's remembered.

There's a lot more episodes up if anyone is interested. Chris Avellone is AWFUL at Arcanum to the point where I wonder if he's not doing it on purpose. This is more inept than my first attempt at the game. It's more inept than my girlfriend's first attempt and she'd never even played a game...

There definitely is a main Fallout storyline. In Fallout 2 you're a descendant of the PC from FO1, and a lot of the same characters and locations are in the game. The governments of the little settlements from FO1 have developed based on the (canon) choices of the Vault Dweller. They have a...

Yeah, 'cause New Vegas carries on the main Fallout storyline whereas FO3 is a completely different game in a completely different location with completely different characters. (Yes, there's some recognizable names and themes like the BoS, Enclave, Super Mutants etc., but they aren't anything...

It makes for way deeper combat; obviously; but Arcanum's depth in character creation/development is unmatched in anything I've seen. If what you want is good tactical squad combat then you'd probably be more interested in something like Jagged Alliance 2.
