Fallout 3: Origins

Remember that time when I updated this blog frequently? Yeah, me neither. So, since I'm well on my way to having a PC capable of running Fallout: 3 at max settings and record along side it I've put a little more thought into what I plan on doing. My first thought was that I didn't fancy doing it on my own, I find I talk about games and any other media text better when I'm bouncing off of someone else, in the case of my planned Fallout: 3 LP if everything goes to plan that's going to be alongside my long term friend and hopefully long term member of Backseat GamingTV Devyn. For those of you that have seen some of BSGTV's work, you'll know that one of our first and as of the time of posting ongoing LP's happens to be Fallout: New Vegas. In contrast to that LP, I'm planning for this LP to be much more of a long term thing, I hope to cover all of the DLC and to be able to spend much longer on the game as a whole- opting for a less silly approach to the game.

On reading that back I feel I need to clarify what I mean by “less silly” I don't mean that Devyn and I will be being super serious mode, but we will be trying to build the best possible character and take you guys though the wasteland more or less the way the game intended. Not really going for 100%, but showing you guys what we consider to be the main load of the game and to talk about story and game design choices. I want to warn you all though, a lot of this is up in the air right now, nothing official has been decided as of yet and most of my “planning” hasn't left my mind, but it is definitely something I want to do- and Devyn has also expressed an interest in helping me complete an LP that I've wanted to do for a very long time.

However, for the mean time I would like to write about a game I've been playing recently- Dragon Age: Origins. At the time of writing, but I doubt at the time of posting, I'm nearly at the end (again) so I figured I would write a couple of posts about the game and just my general thoughts about it. This is by no means a written LP, it may very well turn into one- but I feel like I'm far to deep into the game at this moment in time, making writing up the LP very hard unless I started another file. This, after completing the game roughly 3 times- with all the DLC- isn't something I would be interested in at this time. Sadly, my copies of both Dragon Age: Origins & Dragon Age II are on the Xbox 360, I'm told this isn't a great way for them to be played, and I believe this wholeheartedly. As you may know, my PC pretty runs on a coal fire. In the future, it is possible I will attempt either a written or video LP of Dragon Age II.

I can't say when either of these future projects will go under way, both Dragon & Fallout related but I have every intention of doing them at some point. I hope you guys are still here when I do, despite how rarely I update this blog- I blog I do update, and very often at that, is the blog of Backseat GamingTV- I suppose that channel can now be considered my focus now, with this being in the back burner. However I can promise that both channels will always try to deliver quality content that you find entertaining and like enough to share with your family and friends.

Thanks for reading.
