Forum Overview :: Fallout III :: I have grave misgivings about Bethesda's implementation of the Speech skill

[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]First, rolling dice for success in a game with save anywhere is fucking stupid. Every time I blow a check, I feel like I should just reload my savegame and try again - and before you tell me that's ridiculous and unhealthy, remember: this is a game about picking up every coffee mug and clipboard in the greater DC area. What the fuck kind of tendencies did they <i>expect</i> their players to have? Second, it seems like the most common application of Speech is to haggle for more caps. Isn't that the definition of Barter?[/quote]
