Now? Probably not. Here's the thing. I played and loved the BG series. I still replay it occasionally. But I've go the nostalgia factor going. Someone who doesn't have that? I imagine it'll prove really stiff and more than a little annoying unless you have a thing for old-style RPGs...

You'd never have a Fallout set outside the US for the same reason you won't have a Grand Theft Auto set outside the US after 3. Because the series has a strong tone of mocking the country it's set in, and if you tried that in France or China, those guys wouldn't stand for it. You'd have...

I can't stop you from shooting yourself in the foot if you're really deadset on it. I'm just here to tell you how not to be self-defeating, and then make you feel stupid when you are anyway.

Just trust me on this. Don't use the occasion to springboard into your own anti-Christian rant. You will lose that fight. Be zen about this. Don't meet force with force, use their momentum against them. You're the internet hate machine. Don't try and out-zealot the zealots. Instead...

No no no. Guys, you have to understand the angle at work here. If you put 'your religion is bad', they win. You're reinforcing them by trying to stoop even lower than them. That gains them momentum. The trick is to undermine. Here are some signs: MY SIGN IS A DUCK *sign shaped like a...

Andrew Ryan. A man chooses, a slave obeys!

I once bought Arcanum on the recommendation of a friend. When I told him I bought it, he laughed at me. It was the laugh of someone who had just played a very cruel joke on me.

Shoot the lock off the door. Then see if I can secure myself a kooshy VP job in one of their multi-million dollar media companies.

You'll never see a Fallout game set outside of Amercia for the game reason you'll never see another Grand Theft Auto game set outside of America. The game's setting is too much about throwing rocks at America. You set it in say, England, and suddenly people realize, 'hey wait a second, this is...

Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday.

This post is hilarious, and I doubt you will ever understand why. (EDIT: I think I can maybe explain this. I don't actually watch the station, but as I understand it, for a 'news station', they show shockingly little actual hard news. Their airtime is dominated by commentators and...

Best storyline in any game? Planescape: Torment comes immediately to mind, but that's a bit dry. Anachronox has some of the most fantastic writing I've ever seen in a game, but it's hard to find. Baldur's Gate 2 is very good, but definitely shows its age these days. Someone suggested Dues...

I would say that humans beings are born neither good nor evil. They're born stupid. And they need violence to smarten them up.

Because, before humans came with their weapon, nothing ever hurt anything else. It was like one giant camp where all the creatures on the world went around giving each other metaphoric high-fives all day long. ;)

Of course. Eventually all life on the planet will burn out and die, leaving it a very peaceful rock.
