You know, this trailer reminded me why I liked parts of 3 more than New Vegas.

Because it was actually fun.

Sorry I meant to say I hope that the police use maximum force and kill or maim a bunch of innocent people, thus paving a way for a proletarian uprising and socialist utopia

I can't wait for someone to make Immersive Settlements or something which turns the building part into some sort of insane RTS that you can spend the entire game on.

"Attractive NPC's" mod that turns all the black NPC's white.

Did I misread all the signs?
I wonder if you'll be able to dual wield, or if they finally added some things like shields to the game. Always wanted to grab a trashcan lid or riot shield when charging into melee.

gently caress yeah I want to see Ronto too- Apparently its a military powerhouse or something.

Fallout fans are apparently hand-wringing over whether or not Ronto is Toronto but anyone who lives in Toronto and played New Vegas had its identity confirmed when they saw "Long Branch Arsenal Ontario" printed on the side of a gun.

yeah, most definitely, but it's not like you're going to be shoehorned into having some little poo poo running around your house.

I'm just not a fan of the forced backstory. I'd prefer if you could choose your backstory based on a couple different variables or something.

Man, jetpacking around in full armor with a mini gun while putting in the Ride of the Valkyries is going to be awesome. Alternatively, "Good Morning Vietnam" (or Apocalypse now of course).

hey, I used the words "low standards" to describe a Fallout 3 fan while the stream was going out, too. object of my scorn thought that was really offensive, not realizing it was the least offensive possible way to describe a fan of Bethesda games.

this is legitimately the only place I've ever found where there are at least some people who understand my loathing for Bethesda and their rape of what was my favorite IP growing up. expressing any kind of criticism, no matter how clear and specific, of any Bethesda game since Oblivion is essentially an ostracizing act. people just don't wanna hear it. BUT IT HAS AN BIG LEVEL.

It will effect 0.5% of the game considering all the poo poo they are building in. This plus mods means an ultimate sandbox.

True enough, but with all the other advancements there seem to be, it would have been nice if they'd tried to offer some other backstory options as well.

So you're saying that Todd Howard directly led to his death. If he knew Fallout 4 was coming out 15/15/15 he would have had the will to live. Good job Todd, you killed another one.

The gunplay looked a lot better than Fallout 3.

I thought it was pretty good. I hope the roleplaying and story will be good, but at the very least it might be a fun game to gently caress around in. Don't like that the protagonist is voiced. Feels like a weird choice and the voice actor is bland.

This looks really cool and all the features I'm excited about except for the dialog system. Dialog trees are a good and cool system and the only time I've seen them modified with actual positive results is in Alpha Protocol.

The "new" system of Mass Effect and later Dragon Age games is a throwback to the early Ultima games rather than a step forward.

Because the world was set on fire, I get it, but yes why do we have to build everything with the aesthetics of a bad post-apocalyptic movie prop maker?

A lot of that is actually not dissimilar to how real scratch-built stuff made from scavenging the apocalypse would go. Watch season 2 of The Colony (a post-apocalypse reality TV show) and you'll see how people forced to scavenge an abandoned urban wasteland will build poo poo when pressed.
