/vrpg/ — Fallout

well, yeah, fallout was not good because of him, but despite him. which is why the rest of his catalogue is utter shit like outer worlds.

I think Arcanum is the fairest thing to judge him on. And it was in the end, overall shit. But, if you're a hyper sensor, a super detailed oriented person, you'd probably like the chaos that it was. All the thousands of options for building a character. But if you're more intuitive, you're just looking at this game as a massive fucking headache. Horrific UI. The art was good, but it wasn't presented well. I have no reason to believe I'd ever like a game he leads on. However, I do enjoy listening to him as a developer. Because unfortunately programming does require a nitty gritty hyper focus on details. So he's dealt with issues that I also deal with, and between him, and the comment section, you actually get some nice gems.

He literally made the game engine and programmed the game.

>>3997789
That has very little to do with the success of a game.

>>3997793
It is the game.

He is also the one who implemented the GURPS mechanics and turned them into ACELIPS after the GURPS boomer said he's pulling out because of kids.

Right, I think he had a very large role in Fallout. He kept out Terminators from the game for instance. He did affect the world and was apart of major discussions that shaped quests, lore etc. Just pointing out something obvious, that while a game engine can absolutely affect the quality of the game, it's not the game. Fallout is not Fallout because it had a magic engine, or because the way he programmed quests was incredible from a technical perspective. It could have been made in other engines, in other languages, by other devs and still been Fallout. Assuming it had the same specifications. To be clear, it wouldn't have been the same game without him, but that's because he took part in design and lore discussions that were directly game related.

nobody knows what happened for sure, chvd.

Powerful

Tim played a big role, without him the game wouldn't be made at all and of he what he says is true, his role wasn't limited to technical at all.

I'm a committed chud and Tim is not only gay, but is a full-on shitlib, but this kind of thing is just dishonest.

Dude, he is a Christian Zionist fundamentalist, obviously he didn't like that you could kill non-Palestinian children.

What did they mean by this

>>3997768
Arcanum is great, retard. Get better taste.

>>3998678
>Arcanum is great
NTA. When was the last time you tried playing it?

>>3998715
I watched Onolumi, my FUTURE JAPANESE WIFE, play it in stream, retard.

>>3997795
its like saying the guy who made the paint not Michaelangelo is the real creator of Sistine Chapel ceiling

Great RPGs happen because of luck and circumstances falling in the right way. If there was a way to consistently repeat success, they'd do it all the time.

>>3998678
Is the combat really that bad?

>>3998742
Yes. It's actually impressive just how bad it is.

>>3998840
I played it and had fun with it back when it came out
I tried to replay it recently and I uninstalled after fighting the first wolves at the crash site

>>3998742
It's fine when put points into skills. I'd recommend getting 9 DEX and 2 points in both Melee and Dodge right away at character creation (you get 5 points and 9 DEX lets you get Melee 2/Dodge 2).

Otherwise it will be like Morrowind where you miss every hit, and then suffer a critical fail, maim yourself and lose the weapon lmao

>>3998732
lolno

Which ten hour “video essay” retrospective did you watch about Morrowind in lieu of playing it, my broccoli-haired chum?

I'm not gay or anything but this photo makes me want to burn Sodom to ground and salt it's Earth all over again.

As we found out in yesterday's Timkino, we literally never would've had Fallout if he didn't have a "pull yourself by the bootstraps" attitude and worked humiliating prepper jobs (installation wizard programming) that were beneath him. Because Tim was so humble, he used his spare time to program the engine. Without Tim, there wouldn't be "someone else" to code the engine.

How you like THEM apples, homophobes? Boom!

>>3997754
What the little Codexfag gon' do? I'm sure he'll feel better if you suck his dick, queer.

Jokes on you lil'jeety, we Codexfags are the biggest homophobes.
