Hahahhahaa. You're in for a surprise.

Is it worse than I expect it to be?

Well, I suppose that depends on what you consider to be a mediocre FPS.

It's no STALKER, that's for sure.

Mods? Well, FOOK2 is a large compilation mod that endeavours to fix some of the more eregrious flaws in Bethesda's "immershun." It adds a lot of the old FO1 and 2 weapons back into the game (Wattz 1000 laser pistol, fuck yeah), and it also adds lore, explaining, for instance, where Talon C...

But it's real-time, isn't it? :( No. Totally turn based. Also, the game doesn't need to have obvious stupid shit. I know how to do lölz with subtler things like shortcomings of the AI, for example.

Thus it could be argued that the massive industrial requirements to maintain peoples cushy lives (which many would not want to give up to go get shot at) is also a legitimate reason. Not that I care. Not legiti...

But just saying "I have a quadrillion people" and not adding any plausible reason for why the absolutely enormous resource difference isn't being used to casually crush your enemies like cockroaches breaks suspension of disbelief. So my opinion is thus: Yeah, I'll buy it if there's a plau...

Several RPer's and I have recently been having an argument with TFU over what counts as an acceptable inflation of the NS population for fluff reasons. There were several suggestion's thrown around and then suddenly TFU throws out one whopper of a number. 18,950,100,223,751,000 Sapient People. Now ...
