This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Fallout MMO...that's right baby

Quote from: RPGObjects_chuckSo, you don't like the open-ended MMO type RPG (I place Morrowind in this group despite being a single player game, it just FELT like an MMO to me) and you don't like the action-oriented button mashing RPG (like Fallout BOS)... there ARE RPGs that you like yes?

Cause honestly, you've eliminated two pretty big swaths of the current RPG market on console and puter.
I love big open RPGs.  They're great.  So long as they don't bore the shit out of me.  Ultima was great.  Fallout was great.

It has nothing to do with me not liking open RPGs, it has to do with the fact that I found the Elder Scrolls games horrid examples of them.  Morrowind was an exercise in aimless wandering through brown wastes desperately looking for sometihng to do, and Oblivion was just hideously repetitive, one damn gate after another over and over again.

Combine that with the awkward action-based combat (sorry, but melee just doesn't work in FPS), and it's like the games were designed for me to hate them.

Well hopefully Fallout 3 is a lot like Fallout 2, cause that was great. If winds up being even MORE open, something like Morrowind, that would be cool as hell.

I liked Morrowind (not nearly as much as Fallout 2) but didn't finish it. Still, I think a game set in the world of fallout is hard to do badly.

Don't forget the KotOR games. Great fun, even if they were a bit railroady. Jade Empire isn't too bad either.
