How about finding the reason why Vault 11 is so messed up, or helping a bunch of ghouls try to launch a rocket to the heavens, or being a drug runner for the coolest drug dealer in the history gaming, or working for a group of Elvis impersonators, or finding a sex robot for casino, or helping your Danny Trejo ghoul friend reasons that he isn't useless, or fixing a power plant because the guy with the theoretical degree in theoretical physics couldn't figure it out.

Also killing NCR scum in the name of Caesar is cool too.

I would absolutely love to see a FO game take place in China or Europe or something. Just handwave you character as the great-grandchild of a POW or something from the Great War or something, then basically play Metro 2033.

Speaking of which, Vault-Tec had vaults to house people in USA, did the other countries also have Vaults of their own, or did they all just become ghouls?


The whole point of Fallout is campy 50s Americana in a post apocalyptic setting.

I hope they fix whatever makes it so that every "city" is tiny and has a billion loading screens and 10 inhabitants.

Finally getting onto he Strip was such a letdown and Freeside was a headache trying to get around.

Also, as for Tenpennyand how he got to the US, we saw a rocket augmented USS Constitution in the trailer though god only knows why it exists.

Dude, if you've got rocket pods and laser guns big enough to power Old Motherfucking Ironsides around the sky, you drat well power her up because that's what God Almighty and the Continental Congress would do :911:

If the game lets me set my intelligence to 1 and spend the rest of the game listening to Troy Baker making retard noises for 80 hours I will buy this game and every last bit of stupid DLC for it

Did you ever play FO3/NV with 1 intelligence? You get only a couple of stupid lines through-out the entire game and the rest of it you talk with normal intelligence.

Edit: This game costs $72USD to pre-order in New Zealand.

They literally can't fix it lol its limitations of their ancient game engine. Modders have always had to fix it by using third party script extensions.

The plot of Fallout 4 will involve the Vaultborn trying to rescue the family vault from being bought out by the evil Enclave Inc. You learn the meaning of friendship and go on zany adventures along the way

and there is nothing about ghouls re-enacting bunker hill that would be even mildly out of place in fallout, the game where people are sad that a retard dialogue option is missing. You just wanted to do some weird nerd monkeycheese diss and are super bad at it was my point, the last game ended with a giant atomic robot storming the ruins of washington DC yelling about communists. Get over yourself.

Actually the last game had 4 different endings, and that's not counting all the individual post-ending slides for every location and faction you can interact with.
