They're taking Obsidian's cue and taking all the awesome mods people made and implementing them into the game.

Yeah the building mod was cool but really really janky but it looked exactly like that so #yolo I guess. The game looks weird as gently caress like :/

I have to admit a lot of the stuff looks good, but I'm concerned about the dialogue system. The voiced protagonist worries me, as does the fact that the dialogue system uses the face buttons. Does that mean there won't ever be more than four dialogue options? I'm also worried that the dialogue system will make modded quests and dialogue very hard to do, but I guess that's something we'll have to wait and see about.

Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas?

I can't believe they don't have a working demo when they plan to ship in less than 6 months.

Not really? They're using the same engine, but it looks like the animations have really been smoothed out so it actually looks and plays like most third-person games in third-person. The enemies even have unique reactions to melee impacts instead of generic twitches.

I was expecting Fallout 4 to just be a slightly tweaked New Vegas/Skyrim, with a handful of improvements over the past game but otherwise the same. Instead we're getting settlement building, 700+ weapon mods, epic superhero power armor, Vertibird combat....

I bet a Low Int character won't be a thing an account of the voiced dialogue. Not that it was all that great in FO3/NV anyway, but it was nice to have some good dialogue options to pick at least.

Also worthy of note is that none of the gameplay footage used the female character. Kinda wonder if she was a more recent addition.

Also the story will probably still be meh.

And Bethesda knows this, that's why they're taking the kitchen sink approach and just cobbling together Awesome poo poo. I can't wait to dick around in the game, even if I know I'll never properly finish it and won't give a gently caress about the characters or dialogue and none of it will be particularly memorable. But it'll be a fun ride while it lasts.

Sounds like New Vegas/Skyrim with a handful of new improvements and a settlement building gimmick to me. You do know New Vegas had power armor and crafting right?

The existing games already let you do modded quests and poo poo just by playing a silent dialogue file in place of the regular audio, so this could probably do the same. And I'm pretty sure that all of the dialogue options with more than 4 choices were "Ask me about backstory fluff" parts of the conversation.

I mean, they loving recorded over 1000 of the most common names just so your robot butler can talk to you by name. They didn't skimp.

I always thought it'll be a good game to play and gently caress around in, and this would already be three times that. Just the narrative isn't the strong suit despite what the cognitively challenged says.

They're probably going to phone in the Brotherhood vs Institute thing, where you can literally copy the NCR and Mr. House respectively and change names and outfits.

No. It's going to be bad. I mean, unless you are okay with getting more Fallout 3 on The Playstation and Xbox New Generation, in which case you will probably be happy but you have increidbly low standards.
