Wow, really sucks there is only 30 minutes of content in FO4 since that's all they showed. What's even worse is half of that is just some guy talking to an audience. This game will suck.

The other games don't literally put you into a wedlock though, I reckon that is where people jump ship for several reasons. Possibly religious ones.

Fallout 4 probably won't let you kill every named character and will be a lesser game for it.

It wasn't baffling; it was baffling (if hilarious) that goon/goon-type folks were baffled by it. It's the same reason why the Warrior in Diablo 2 is the one that defeats Diablo, whereas the Mage and Archer/Thief become bad guys: the player is the Combat Guy, the other characters are the Magic Guys and the Thief Guys.

Yeah it shouldn't be a surprise most people prefer the default. A majority of people also rolled human in GW2.

Except that IRL I have a CHR of 10 and an INT of 10 so I why wouldn't I build myself in the game? The only real problem is that Bethesda still hasn't implemented a facegen that can really capture a handsome face, so I end up being a really charming potato. A small price to pay, though...

The baffling thing was the (probably marketing mandated) decision to make the Soldier class the default build since ME1's shooter gameplay was really, really bad and the Soldier had nothing else to do but shoot stuff.

What the hell else would you make a default build? Also Soldier could wear the heaviest armor (that looked cool) and had a power that made you almost invincible with Master Immunity + Adrenaline Burst

I remember loads of people bitching about how in ME2 the game not giving you enough ammo and I'm all like "play Soldier he doesn't have ammo problems" and dudes was mad that I suggested they play soldier.

I suppose one nice thing about mod support is that, even if they were stupid enough to implement TES-style skill advancement, there will be a mod to replace it at least two weeks after the game comes out. I mean, I'll try it but I seriously doubt I'll prefer it to a leveling system; I'm not inherently opposed to the idea but if it's anything like Skyrim leveling up Repair and Science will just require a lot of pointless grinding (see Smithing in Skyrim, for ex).

If you enjoyed Fallout 3 and Skyrim (I did), then Fallout 4 is probably going to be up your alley. If you hate Bethesda games, you probably will not like Fallout 4, as it is developed by Bethesda games, although the need to express that repeatedly baffles me a little.

From other thread:Verisimilidude posted:So despite being an otherwise lukewarm experience Fallout Shelter is one of the creepiest games I've ever played. Women are essentially relegated to being baby-making machines for my highest-statted male characters (I assume they transfer stats, but that might not be the case).

I really love RPG stuff and spellcasting but I'll be very honest, I played the soldier too. I messed with face customization and stuff, but I definitely did not bother with other classes in the mass effect series. First one aside, that game is barely the kind of RPG where it's fun to play spellcasters and my party members had plenty of neat gimmicks to exploit during fights.

Read the NMA review of Fallout 3, and it's surprisingly reasonable. Not sure what the reviewer is doing mingling with a bunch of retards who can't stop bragging about how superior they are to all the plebs who liked any of the games past the first, but I liked it.
