2024-04-29, 06:30 PMI think the correct answer is "play Wasteland 2/3 instead." Fallout 1/2 have, at least to me, fallen past the Interface Event Horizon, the point at...99 replies | 2625 view(s)

2024-04-24, 11:42 AMSo I have two points to make. First, this plan of action is completely insane based on what the Jedi know, and second, I think this whole search for...620 replies | 25546 view(s)
