Exactly. At least cater to the play styles you expect your audience to have. What percentage of people white knight their way through morality choices in rpgs? I'm guessing most. While it awesome to have to choose between the lesser of two evils in a game Obsidian made it so that I had to be a murdering asshole to see any ending at all. Not cool.
Witcher 1 did grey choices much better.

More RPGs should stop catering to boring knight in shining armor playthroughs. There's nothing more boring than having everything go exactly your way in a game like that.

It's been a while, but i didn't think you had to kill anyone.

That isn't what I'm asking for.

I'm asking for a way through the game that doesn't require my character be evil.

House would die even if you don't kill him. They made it clear he'd be dead if it wasn't for his chamber.
How do you get the NCR to the final showdown without slaughtering the BOS? I'm not saying it isn't possible just that it sure as hell wasn't something a large percentage of players could do. I either didn't pick up the questline or didn't have the skill/stats for it. I tried multiple times and never found a way to do it.

Such is life in the wastes

Yeah but that's a designed experience. It is life in the wastes not because of player choice but because that's the particular life in the wastes that Obsidian has forced on you.

I'm not saying a forced choice or an imposed negative solution to a problem is better or worse than a binary morality system, just that it can't really be exempt from the same criticisms. It takes the exact same branching path... and cuts off one of the branches.

The Witcher does it best.

I've got Fallout and Fallout 2 via GOG. Any reason to get them on Steam, I assume they're both identical.

Well... Having them on Steam should be reason enough. Aside from that there is not much difference with every game that is both on steam and somewhere else. It's all about having all your games in one place or spread in different services.

Any must buys with todays sales?
Syberia bundle -90% is pretty sick I think.
New Vegas Ultimate -66% ist totally worth it if you don't already have it.
Blacklist is supposed to be cool I think?

Torchlight 2 any good?

Are you familiar with loot-based games like Diablo, Path of Exile, etc? It's hack and slash and quite fun, IMO. Better with friends, better with gin (Hendrick's maybe), and don't play on the default difficulty. It's for filthy casuals.

I've already got them in my Library via shortcuts, just making sure I wasn't missing out on anything. Didn't think I was but figured I'd ask to be sure.

Any thoughts on Rogue Shooter? Thinking about picking it up with Wrack. Btw, any hopes that Wrack will see a flash/daily/community sale?

Was hoping for a Ikaruga sale of some sort to get more people playing, but no dice. $5 is a damn steal and I hardly see anybody buying it. =(

*For selfish reason, I want enough sales to warrant Radiant Silvergun/Silhouette Mirage Steam ports.
 
I enjoyed the locations more.

I haven't played Fallout 3 yet so I'm not arguing with you here - by the way I have read a bunch of reviews and the general consensus is that F3 has better locations overall -, I have been playing New Vegas recently and just want to take the opportunity to say how jaw-dropping was
nearing New Vegas for the first time at night from the south with all those casino lights on the horizon drawing near, then passing through the northern area and finally arriving at the Strip
