Apparently, I eat bugs, as I found CS playable on release day.
Much of the problems with STALKER stem from its sensitivity. Y'know, it loads everything up, notices a single sound effect for a stalker's sneeze missing and goes OMGWTFNO and instantly dies of a digital heart attack. At least the...
I'd take any claims made with a grain of salt.

A lot of names in common, including lead designer and project lead.
And here I was, hoping for some mature article on how a rather serious subject is approach in video games, exploring the themes and stories in games such as Red Alert 1, Operation Flashpoint and Resistance, Jagged Alliance 2, Fallout: New Vegas etc.

Awesome review, hits the nail on the head, particularly with the factions.
Random loot probably. What's your lockpick skill tree? Did you take Treasure Hunter.
Obsidian did well with a fraction of the number of writers and about a hundred of voice actors, picked for their professionalism and ability, rather than marketability (OMFGPATRICKSTEWARTLIAMNEESONOMFG). That...

Exactly. It was the same case with Oblivion, they probably just used the same heightmap to generate the basic terrain and then built up Skyrim.
As for New Vegas: the empy terrain referenced in this thread is actually just terrain generated based on USGS survey data that was never intended to...
If you actually read the preview, you'd know that the game doesn't say that the main character is insane. He's a psychiatristy and the game, at least in the demo, doesn't state that he's sane or insane.
Take into account two centuries passing and sprinkle in some historical revisionism. I hope Bethesda got rid of the "NPCs can't lie to the player" principle that governed Oblivion, though.
If you're low on cash, go crack some Dwemer ruins. Markath (yes! FINALLY RECALLED THE NAME) is a good place to gather scrap (struts, metal pieces, bent sheets) and miscellanous Dwemer items (bowls, cups, plates etc.). Make sure you have the Dwarven smith perk (requires 30 smithing).
Then make...
