I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.

The female protagonist's dialogue is actually just repeated quotes of Malibu Stacey from that one Simpsons episode.

The protagonist doesn't really count as gendered due to the nature of character gen.

Fawkes was cool because in a sea of useless questgivers, he and Mr. Crowley act independently of the player.

There's two FO3 characters I hope return in this game. Dr. Li because we were explicitly told that's where she went, and Fawkes because he's goddamned awesome.

I'm waiting with bated breath for the return of... *struggles to remember the name of the extremely unmemorable character* uh, Doctor Lee!

It's also not made by the owners of the franchise.

Do you consider some star wars novels part of the main continuation just because they're better done than any crap Lucas writes?

Also, weekly reminder Fawkes was a lady before she became a Super Mutant.

KOTOR2 is the only Star Wars story I consider to be canon.

I'd want a valley girl airhead mod, or maybe one where someone who speaks English as a second language is just reacting to stuff.

It's funny how they made a rookie writing mistake (no one gives a gently caress if a character you only know for a short time dies, such as James in Fallout 3) and it seems like they're going to do it again with the missing spouse and child, but they swear that this time people will care if something happens to them because the protagonist can get emotional.

They might do something interesting like making your kid the former/current leader of the big bads. Someone called that already too though, I'm sure. Better than some arbitrary "Woo! Found you, poo poo you're dead and no one cares" moment that Fallout 3 lead up to.

It'll also be funny if they actually keep the player fully in control of the emotions they may or may not feel during any reunion so John Fallout can just quickly get over their dead kid while the camera still won't pan away from it because its programming to stay for the "CORRECT" reading of the VO balling their eyes out for a few minutes.

Or if you just let John Fallout cry at everything.

Take advantage of the fact that you can walk away from a conversation without finishing it and just leave the room while he's about to croak.

Unfortunately for you, the news paper woman is the default romance and is forced on you even if you just scream HATE NEWSPAPER at the top of your lungs. She won't care if you build up a harem in the post apocalyptic hellhole, she'll still try to write stories about you wherever you go like a stalker.

Oh hey, I noticed your ring. Wanna marry then sex?

A. Yes
B. No
X. I'm Gay
Y. Hate Sex


A and Y lead to the same outcome of marriage then fade to black or awkward mannequin sex. B puts them down but they repeat what they said if you talk to them again. X they grow a boner, regardless of gender.

I laughed when the villain in Fable 2 talked about how he killed all 20 of my wives (I replaced the population of bowerstone with my families) but I got pissed when he shot my dog. Also I found my dad in FO3 almost immediately because I went exploring in a random direction.

Yeah, it's one of the major flaws of all of their engines across hardware generations. I guess it has a lot to do with reducing labor on gear modeling. Strangely, lots of other games manage to incorporate varying body types without a problem.
