PerpetualSelf posted:What I really want is Bethesda and Sports Interactive to team up and produce Mutant Football Manager. I'm already on the horn with T. Howard and we're hashing out details on the aforementioned "World's National Post-Apocalyptic Pastime". You have to understand, however, that Bethesda is comprised almost entirely of people who have never seen a football or a baseball, so it would be a very uphill struggle culminating in something that almost certainly won't resemble a sport.

To be honest I was surprised when I picked that perk and it turned me into a full gaylord. Funny as gently caress though.

quote:I chose that perk three levelos ago,not exactly knwing hwta it meant,and now im regreting the decision,Would it be worth it to go back to a save before i got it?I like the extra damage against the guys,but it technically makes my charecter gay,and i dont really want that.. The thing I find weird about peoples' reaction to it is that besides the damage bonus all it does is open up new dialogue options that let you flirt with dudes and poo poo. If you don't want to be a gay guy you can just... not choose those? Kind of a "lady doth protest too much" thing imo. Also you can just take Lady Killer too.

I hope at some point your character gets in Power Armor untrained or whatever, and it falls over and you're just walking in a circle on the ground with dangerous wildlife sniffing you as you desperately try and get your bearings for hours on end.

CJacobs posted:I was saying he's a dumbass for implying that not having a voiced protag means your character can't show emotion Praetorian Mage posted:On the other hand, the voice actor could end up delivering the line in a way that is totally wrong for your character. So one person claims that a voiceless character can show emotion (examples???), while another claims that the emotion comes from you. Oooooooooooook lmao. Yea that powerful, roller coaster of emotions evoked by fallout 3 dialogue...I'm sure the voiceless protag is gonna ruin it in FO4. When your character is voiced, they can actually engage with the NPCs and have cool cinematic shots of them actively moving around/talking (see: Witcher 3, Mass Effect series). When they're voiceless, your cipher stands there in first-person view while the robot NPC they talk to does the same thing. It's an old, lovely "feature" that's being done away with.

If the protagonist can speak, that ruins the immersion of dumb nerds who are mute retards IRL who can't hold a simple conversation. They can't really role play if their character is some sort of suave dude who is able to say "Can I purchase this gun?" without making GBS threads themselves.

Voiced protagonists are good if they talk and act like I want them to, but they can be bad if they don't. For this reason I can't get into the Witcher series at all. I just want to murder Geralt every time he grumbles about rapeseed or whatever

SunAndSpring posted:It would be funny if they're trying to invade Boston because they think they're better for it than the Institute. I'm hoping this is set 3-4 years after Fallout 3, much like the 4 year time gap between that and New Vegas. That could give DC Brotherhood ample time to build up a force and presence to move up north.

You're not really "mute" in Fallout though your character is "saying" things when you enter dialogue. It's just kinda silly/waste of time adding an actual voice to it.

Was so ready to hate this pre-E3, now I'm already budgeting time and money for this in November. The way power armor looks like it's handled is EXACTLY what I wanted it to be. The weapon customization looks to be a game-changer, as well. Laser muskets will be first stop on my play-through. Have they released any system requirements yet?

Mute PC only works for 1st person, as soon as third is involved it becomes awkward. I love Dragon Age 1, but the camera switching to my dumb expressionless face every time I picked an option was lame. I really don't understand Bethesda pushing 3rd person so hard, apart from showing off the PC. It looks like poo poo and created the problem of not being voiced feeling awkward.

Some games convey a predefined character's emotions through text, and others let you choose dialogue options that fit what you're personally thinking. Just because Fallout 3 did it badly doesn't mean it can't be done. One of my favorite role-playing moments of all time happened in a Neverwinter Nights module called Darkness Over Daggerford, and it didn't involve a single line of voiced dialogue. In fact, I dare say that it probably wouldn't have even been in the module if it had to be voiced, simply because of its subject matter. And I played this years after I played Mass Effect, so it wasn't because of nostalgia or because I didn't know any better. Praetorian Mage fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Jun 16, 2015 |

For the first time in Bethesda history, it seems like your character turns and walks when you move sideways in 3rd person. A big part of the old Bethesda 3rd person jank was due to the fact that your character would always strafe instead of turning when you tried to move in any direction besides forward. Anyway now that the protagonist talks, it's less likely there will be lines like "[SPEECH] You can't be President. You're an abortion of science. You need to die..." because they'll probably find out how stupid that kind of writing sounds when said out loud Or maybe hilariously bad dialogue will still be there and we have Troy Baker saying that stuff out loud and it'll be great. It's a win-win, really. Minorkos fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Jun 16, 2015 |

Yeah nah okay I was ready to board the cynic train until it showed the badass gunstomisation and making pretty pretty palaces. Making a sweet pad to show off all the cool poo poo I found in the gameworld is pretty much why I play Bethsoft RPGS and this game looks pretty rad. I just wish we could have New Vegas' writing in this one as well because man seeing all this stuff has made me really want to replay it.
