Oh, Dark Raven, you couldn't have asked a tougher question! I've read so much and studied so many, I can't even begin to think of which time period to look to first!!!!

Funny thing is, being a historian, you kinda look down on historical figures. You study them for their effects and fails and ...

Nintendo fell out of my favor way back with the N64. I haven't so much as looked into anything Nintendo until some new friends of mine kept talking about these games and told me to try them just once.

I did and they are good. But there just aren't enough of them to make me want to buy a Game Cube ...

It's damned annoying alright, but at least if you fail your first time, that book will be closed and you can't interact with it. Then you just have to pick between two books the second time.

Anyone start a huge brawl instead of racing? I didn't try it because I didn't feel like getting killed! You ...

Modern day soldiers are granted greater liberities than soldiers of yore. Soldiers today can disobey orders so long as those orders can be proven to be unlawful, hence criminal, hence war crime.

These come from several factors of the last century. But before I go into these, I feel that I should ...

Save the Cube!!!!

Metriod Prime is amazing! Easily one of the most addictive games ever created. I didn't play any of the previous Metriod games and still found myself totally sucked in and playing for days.

EA has a lisence with Nintendo for first releases of a lot of action games. I think the ...

But not every doctor in the game will (a) offer to heal party members, they may just offer to heal you or (b) have prejudice against certain party members like Marcus and Lenny. For that matter, you might not evern be able to get Marcus and Lenny to cetain doctors because enter towns can hate muties ...

Typically I just wait for the thief and he appears between midnight and one. If I'm feeling cute, I pick the lock and wait inside the supply room for him.

I think you just need to talk to anyone in Vault 13 and have them mention the water thief to trigger the quest, even if it doesn't show up in ...

Yet again, I'm doing a bunch of little quests around the city before saving her.

I don't really think like my character when I play, instead I think about where the HUGE experience quests are and how I want her along because she is the second best mage in the game plus a great thief.

Well, there is a third definition I've encountered during the course of my studies. I'm a student of history. "Classic" is often used by historians to mean "the model fill-in-the-blank"

The Fe-109 was the model, read here as classic, fighter aircraft of World War II. It's design is called classic ...

To Save Imoen or Not to Save Imoen???

I've started a new game for the first time in about a year and I'm stuck asking myself the same question as always...Should I rush off to save Imoen now and let her enjoy all that beuatiful leveling or should I load up on side quests first?

Typically, I don't rush off. I get the book with Korgan ...

FoS was an example I was making. I picked something that many people wouldn't place up there with real "classics," stuff like Morlock's definition. Things that you couldn't stand to not see again.

I think that people enjoy classics because of that reason. To us, a classic is wonderful every time we ...

Pull up your PIP Boy menu and click on the little bell shaped button next to the date. That will bring up another menu where you pick how long to rest/heal.

Ten minutes is the shortest, I believe. Then certain numbers of hours followed by times the next day if you want to jump to certain times ...

Ageless

No, age has no effect on the game other than to act as a "level" counter.

Each time you spend experience to purchace stat and spell improvements, you're character ages one year.

Older characters do look older but not old a.k.a. frail, shorter, weaker, etc.

Oddly enough, increases to ...
