    Quote from Taylor

    I don't see how anyone would prefer Mass Effect 1 over Mass Effect 2. ME1 was certainly a good game, but ME2's changes were all for the better and most of the "RPG elements" removed where just streamlining (a term kind of abused usually), like walking around an empty height map for hours - a change Bethesda should look at.

    ME1 had better storyline, better soundtrack, a better ending and a better villain.

    ME2 is an awesome game, the combat and weapon upgrades are vastly improved but the ending is bad and I also miss exploration. Instead of removing exploration missions altogether Bioware should have improved them! Really miss that lil tank in ME2...

    Agreed, I really hate it when people are like "Oh yeah I saw that film with my girlfriend last week"... "I saw that film last week" will suffice, no one cares who you saw it with

    D3ads maybe its time you find a girlfriend?

    ":3h4cyut7]Yeah I know! I tried to play Mass Effect, but after 5 hours somehow I was getting really tired of it. I really need to give it another try, maybe I just wasn't In the mood. (But there sure is a lot of bla bla in that game! ;D)

    lol...infidel...

    Mass Effect is my favorite game of this generation, I was even thinking of playing it again the other day

    Saren is the coolest villain ever.

    Bought it really cheap months ago but never got around to playing it. Been playing all weekend. What an amazing game. Just wish there was less conversation but the universe is so well crafted that it's ok. Bioware really know their shit!

    this is the last time I spam this thread I swear!!!1

    Most people hated the previous lighting scheme so I decided to go back to the scene roots. I'm finally satisfied with the lighting and this is the one that I'll settle for.

    Now onto the outside area and finishing touches and I can finally wrap up this environment and go work on something else!

    I think you should definitely put this on UDK or other engine and take some real time shots to have a better sense of how the final product is going to look like.

    I like where this is going, keep it up!

    Alright stripped down some lights and tweaked other stuff. I also enabled light shafts but for some reason they are not visible on TiledShot.

    Fallout: New Vegas is the game that many wanted Fallout 3 to be. It's harder, more ruthless, better written and more morally ambiguous. It's a game we’ve been wanting to play for more than a decade, a real modern re-imagining of the Fallout series, complete with that deliciously black humour. But it's also more of the same, aesthetically and technically identical to Fallout 3, wonky facial animation and all. The ever-so-slightly ageing technology only marginally detracts from what is otherwise an expansive, fulfilling and ambitious game, unmatched in scope and maturity. If Obsidian were to make another Fallout game, we certainly wouldn't say no.

    Hardcore mode sounds so fun!!

    Playing Fallout: New Vegas in hardcore mode is a revolution. You become a true wastelander, collapsing onto whatever roadside mattress you can find to stave off sleep deprivation, lapping dirty water from toilet bowls to hydrate yourself, going through every bin and abandoned building you can find for morsels of irradiated food and dying almost every time you venture off the beaten path. Skills that otherwise lurk at the bottom of your priorities, like Unarmed and Survival, become absolutely essential. Perks that you'd otherwise skip over become lifesavers.It doesn't just make things harder – it's not a wasteland Hard mode that artificially gives mangy raiders thousands of hit points. It changes the whole way you play the game, completely altering your worldview. Ammunition has weight, so there's more of a reason to explore Fallout: New Vegas' vastly improved melee weapons. Instead of obsessing over your next quest goal, you're scouring the horizon for buildings that might have water, or a settlement that might have a doctor to heal your crippled limbs.

    From the IGN review the game seems like it's all I ever wanted Fallout 3 to be: A cool world to explore with a better storyline and better humor! I'm so getting this now!

    looks great !but i really think the environment has too much of a cartoon feel to !

    thats because of all those dark lines in the textures !

    if that is on purpose and that is what you are going for cool !

    but than you should drop the photoreal people in the poster that stuff is clashing in style !

    keep up the good work !

    Yep, makes sense!

    Anyway, I began to rework the lighting from scratch. I also made a skydome and started work on the outdoor area (which is gonna look awesome with this new color scheme I think). Lemme know what you guys think!

    (Please bear in mind that the above lighting was baked on "medium" quality setting, hence all the seams and blotches).
