Fallout 3, BSG and modding in BASIC

Hey Danda,

So whatever disease it is that is being bred here in these offices, it got to me and I was sick all day Wednesday. I stayed home, drank hot tea and played Fallout 3 all day. Now I'm hooked. It's so much more gripping than Oblivion for some reason. I love it. I also played it half the day yesterday. And as I was trying to finally fall asleep later that evening, I had this beautiful idea that Bethesda should make an RPG based on... Battlestar Galactica! How awesome would that be? You could start off with missions on the Battlestar and then later in the game progress to some planet or another, and your karma could decide whether you'll end up, say, making peace with the Cylons or not. Ooor every new start of the game could have other people turn out to be Cylons. But even without that, it could still be awesome. And I'd be hoping there'd be no Uncanny Valley problems with their rendition of Starbuck. :)

Someone should make a BSG mod for Fallout 3. I should learn how to mod. Hey, I'll do it in BASIC!

10 make Wasteland look like Caprica
20 make character look like Starbuck
30 make Megaton look like the Battlestar
40 make monsters look like cylons
50 simulate awesome gameplay and dialog
60 be awesome
70 goto 10

The one negative thing about Fallout 3 is that you can't advance past level 20, unless you get the downloadable content. Monster slaying is only half as fun if you don't get experience points. But it takes a long time to advance that far, so it's not that bad.

At any rate, it's a great game, and I recommend you play it, too!

Game on,
- SuperViv
