Whats it counting down to?

If theyre starting to give away Fallout 3 be warned it doesnt do at all well on multi core machines (most PCs these days) but iffen like me you spent some hard earned on it and are determined enough you can get it to run. Just disable all but one of your cores and it runs like a wee gem (a truly hard as feck game, dont say you werent warned)

Its funny, I loved Skyrim, but just couldnt get into either Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas, all essentially the same game, go out kill things, steal their stuff, sell their stuff, get better gear so you can go out, kill (more or bigger) things, steal their stuff, sell their stuff, get better gear so you can...........................................

I've got the original X-com reworked for DOS-box.  Keep your kiddies games.  I've got some chryssalids to run screaming from.

Lets face it that's basically the premise of every computer RPG.

I love Skyrim, still play it sometimes, especially with some of the player designed mods. My 83rd level undead Breton mage in her multiply enchanted armour is more than overpowered though so it's more exploration than combat. The Elder Scrolls always had an edge in looks and in variety of quests over all the rest. The depth of the "lore" was amazing. The fact you can interact with so much of the game world is immersive too. Firing an arrow so it deliberately misses some "Big Bad" just so they'll turn round to see what the noise was just so you can shoot them in the back ... mwahahahahahaha!

"Lets face it that's basically the premise of every computer RPG."

Yeah thats why I'm currently still playing WoW on a Romanian server without all the latest expansion crap and playing for free. Google WoW Freakz if youre interested, you are level capped at 90 and the best you can access is Mists of Pandaria.
