Ooh.. those old Bridge ladies can be lethal! Gotta be on your guard around them, particularly if they try and spike the Bridge Mix.

Oh absolutely. I can't imagine making an entire party of characters using something like Fallout's system. At that point the micromanagement would become so tedious it'd overshadow the RPG aspect of…

I haven't seen it yet, and honestly, I haven't that much interest. Doctor Who spin-offs have never been good, and while I love Sarah Jane to bits, the premise of the show isn't particularly…

You're not doing anything wrong, PJ, that's pretty much how the entire game plays out, start to finish. Loads of extremely linear quests that, really, you have no IC reason to do, overwrought NPCs…
