yeah one thing that sucked about new vegas was literally that although the game had four 'major' endings, they all werent that great because it was choosing between the three lovely factions or telling them all to gently caress off.

i really liked honest hearts tho it was a good dlc. old world blues was ok, james urbaniak basically played dr venture and it was fun

which would somehow imply that bethesda's solution to zooming is to physically move the camera closer

it's not gamebryo anymore, bethesda made their own version called creation. so theoretically they should have more control and be able to improve things

it's literally just gamebryo still though

yeah, it's just high-res gamebryo. so did they pay that company off? I don't think they're licensing it anymore. I assume they must have. either way it's totally inexcusable how many problems seem baked into the engine

lower the field of view of the camera, so you're spreading a smaller area of the game space over the same screen area. bam, zoom

yeah if they moved the camera you'd get a different image than if you zoomed like a normal telescope (which would flatten perspective)

I'd expect this bug to happen with a security camera or something, not a telescope

they are literally writing themselves a loop to connect Starcraft and Warcraft. they have an exactly similar scenario with the WoW story. even the whole Purity of this or that.
