I'd probably go with either Fallout 3 with expansions - that'd get me through most of the time, then just start an evil character for the rest. Failing that, probably Civ:IV. Much as I like Civ:Rev, I think the former has more potential to absorb me for longer. Particularly with scenarios...

Pretty much this. I think a new multiplayer game set in the Fallout Universe would be fine. Something like CoD:4 cum Shadowrun, but with power armour and super mutants. I might even buy that. But Fallout 3? The storyline, interface and controls aren't really made for multiplayer. That's one DLC...

I'd buy it. I probably wouldn't've thought of it, but I loved that game! For me, it'd probably be Shadowrun 2. It'd have an actual story mode, more classes, customisable skins and continuing support. Like a sci-fi/fantasy TF2, I guess.

I think that games with no multiplayer are going the way of the dodo, and we're also seeing games that can only be played with others (Shadowrun comes to mind). I don't think we'll ever lose single-player completely, though. Plot-heavy games (largely RPGs) would make coherent, strong stories a...

Geek. I don't see this as derogatory. Just accurate.

Why? It was a world-wide apocalypse. Could be good for at least a spin-off.

I'd like to see a different international scene explored. Even if it isn't my area, I'd like more insight into the world.

I could go for Steampunk. I thought I heard about a Steampunk FPS being developed... But, yeah, a kind of Terry Pratchett-y world would be good. We also have Assassin's Creed 2 on its way.

Fallout 3. That game can run and run. Especially if you're into DLC.

I don't think VATS is about skill or the lack of it. It's about having a turn-based element alongside the fps stuff.

I'd like to see one set in Europe (or even the UK). I think that'd be cool. Then again, I would, living as I do in England. :D

Without a doubt. Particularly if it's comperable to Fallout 3. I can't get enough at the moment.

I replied in the assumption that he was talking about the turn-based combat. You click on the enemy and the dice/game do all the work.

The thing about turn-based is that it's all about levelling your character, much like tabletop RPG. You design a great character and they'll do well in the situations you've designed them for. In an fps (or equivalent), you can design a shitty character, and just be quick with your RT finger. I...

Correct. Sorry that wasn't clear.
