So far, I think you have a number of valid objections to a game which I liked, and perhaps tampered somewhat with my rosy nostalgia. Did you run out of steam, or what?


Sort of. Actually, I needed to play them again, in order to do them justice, and I haven't had the time. I've been of the opinion that the Fallout games are thought of as great because they had a modicum of orginality, a solid character system, and a pretty good story (and sense of humor), all of which overshine their shortcomings. Tactics kind of sucked for a reason: emphasis was placed on the weaker parts of the Fallout games (combat, commerce) except for character creation, but it fell apart thanks to those decisions.

Also, since you seem to have a knack for it, why not take on Planescape, too, so SB can explain to us how Descartes makes its supremacy over all other games inevitable?


If you read the last part of my hack Playing Computer Games Is Fucking Stupid arty further up, I actually do tear into Torment a bit. But I really fucking like that game, and it's part of why I shitcanned that article. That and the article, as a whole, sucked.
