Quote:I haven't played enough of Falout to see if I dislike the way the story is told. But you seem to compare it to the way stories are told in BG and MP, so I don't imagine it is actually good.
BG and MP have absolutely nothing in common as far as storytelling goes, so this comment makes no sense...
Quote:Who said they can't be? Two mediums don't have to be similar to influence each other. Obviously books have inspired movies, movies have inspired games, and even games have inspired books. But each one is a distinctly different medium.
True, but you seemed to be implying that movies are a better influence for games than books...
Quote:When I said limitation in sound that included speech.
And everything in KOTOR (except for what your character says), has recorded dialogue.
Nope. Aliens just repeat the same (very few number) of lines over and over and over. And aliens talk a lot in that game. It clearly saves them a huge amount of time and space, to not actually have the aliens use their languages (if they really exist), but no one who played the game for more than an hour or two should have been confused into thinking that they actually are voicing what it says one the screen! I found it extremely obvious and, eventually, annoying...
