Right yeah.

I remember how crazy complex the writing could get.

Looking up guides there were really deep paths a person could totally miss

Fallout 4 is only playable for me when I install one of those mods that increases damage dealt *and* received by about 200%

What's the name of that top down RPGish type game that was around the time of the early fallout games. Not the new Pozzed 3d ones.

Arcanum

@C1PHER I am torn on how much I like Fallout 4

ITs a perfectly fine game just wandering around and base building.

Arcanum is nuts

Then if I start doing the main story its like Urrrrgh

A lot of these old games had better systems for good and evil

And they dont pull punches. They go for era-appropriate viewpoints and issues

Games regressed in the morality systems.

The original fallouts were sorta that way too, more dynamic.

Like "are dwarves nepotistic money grubbing scum?" "Oh shit a sizeable chunk of the population is addicted to opium, and some of those are even *humans*"

Less rail roady even if you had a plot you were following

Too bad tech/magic balance is ass

AT LEAST IT WAS FUN

The only game where I really found the morality system amusing was in Black & White

The best part of B&W is that your creature had its own morality slider

Vampire The Masquerades was cool for everything but it's lame morality choices.

Too bad you can't even buy B&W if you wanted to anymore

Both games sold like shit I guess.

I really liked the first one, don't remember 2 at all

at the time the gesture novetly was really fun.

Even though now when I think about it, it seems tacky.

VTMB's issue was balancing. It was never necessary to kill anyone, so it never came up as a real issue unless you were going GTA mode

VTMB is going woke for the next game...

Isn't it already out?

I dunno I feel like all new games are trash

Is it? (Out)

noobified

I loved Heavy Gear and Mechwarrior

all the new games have sucked

MWO was a huge dumpsterfire

They're making a new MW too I think.

I’m waiting for Doom and Animal Crossing to come out

Other than that strategy one

Oh and the next Zelda

I enjoyed Divinity OS2 and I've been enjoying Disco Elysium but yeah theres much in the way of new stuff that I'm interested in

I was just trying to think of games where I really cared about the morality system
