Fallout Siege

<strong>[ Mod -> Update ]</strong>

It's already been mentioned down in our <!-- BBCode Start --><a href="http://www.duckandcover.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=18" target="_blank">'Other Fallout-Themed Mods'</a><!-- BBCode End --> section, but seeing as how 'notsoleet' sent along the email, I thought it was worth the mention:

Could be interesting... if anything, it might give a little bit more purpose to my last game purchase (fingers tightly crossed).

Sounds cool, but I'm not going to buy Dungeon Siege just to play it...

Does that mean that you bought Dungeon Siege, Kreegle?
If so, then could you give a little review about it or just give a recommendation on whether to buy it?

Quick review (from the short time I've played it):

• Very, very nice graphics.
  Easy to use interface.
  Interesting character development system (the more you use magic, the better you are at it... rather than getting "skill points" to invest in anything you want)
  Reasonable sense of advancement.
  Fun when you're drunk.
  
  Not really an RPG... no dialog or "decisions" to make, apart from deciding how your character develops.
  Combat gets tedious and annoying all too soon.
  As deep and complex as a wooden spoon.
  Levels are basically "long tunnels" - no branches.
  Trees and other "scenery" are just eye-candy... they don't affect the game at all. You can walk through them.
  Predictable enemy placement (to an extent).

It's a fun hack-and-slash... a fairly OK time-waster if you have time (which I don't have much of), but not as good as Diablo 2 - even with the graphics.

Hmmm.
If it wasn't D&D themed, I'd pick it up. :drinking:

This means the game will require a very very fancy computer, right?

[Kreegle]

Mine's pretty average at the moment... well, less than average... so if you don't want to put up with slow-down, yes. You'll need a decent computer.

It's interesting - yes. It's realistic - yes. It's working - no.

At least in Quest For Glory, it sucked total ass. You could reach for example your strength up to 500 in 1 hour (real time) practicing, but then if you didn't fight all the time it dropped to 450 in 15 minutes.

wrong! it is working... try it out yourself

[Ogami Itto]

But why would I want to play a Hack'n'Slash version of Fallout? That goes against everything Fallout is (deep story, tons of strategy, and old school feel).

[Shadowrunner]

sounds like a mega cool mod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :BIG: :eating: :infinity:
