Yeah, this seems like the most obvious thing. I remember in Fallout 3 previews they said stuff like "We aren't worried about giving you powerful weaponry early on because we can limit your use of it with ammo/weapon deterioration." This power armor thing seems to be another example of that. frajaqs avatar is reminding me that I really like revolvers in video games and I hope there's a fun revolver to shoot in Fallout 4. Maybe you can put a comically long barrel on it, too

I leigt haven't been able to play FO:3 because it keeps crashing on me and also NV is more fun, so did this get retconned or something? quote:Fawkes was one of the original residents of Vault 87, and possibly went by the name of Shelton Delacroix, who was a Vault security officer. edit - are you thinking of the other Super Mutant companion, whose backstory and associated quests are super goddamned depressing and I love it?

Contrary to a comment about Fawkes' gender made by his voice actor, lead designer Emil Pagliarulo has confirmed, "No, Fawkes was absolutely a male. This was a mistake. Wes gave an interview and he was mistaken. Trust me, Fawkes is and was male."

By activating the terminal by the door of Fawkes room in Vault 87, and using the 'Identify Specimen' function, you will find that the cell's inhabitant was called 'Specimen D164'. A different terminal in a room close to Fawkes' cell contains data on 5 specimens, stating that D164 was a female. However, Fawkes is not Specimen D164, as the terminal also states that all specimens were terminated.

Maybe you can put a comically long barrel on it, too From the looks of it you can turn pistols into rifles by putting a rifle barrel and a stock onto it. The laser pistol is shown (apparently) upgrading into a "long pistol" (rifle barrel with pistol grip) and then a rifle (rifle barrel and stock) so I would guess that you might be able to put a rifle barrel on your revolver if you want to.

The combat montage showed a feral ghoul at one point. Too fast to really notice any detail, but I think it looked like the design in the supermarket from the original trailer.

So it looks like there's the possibility for vehicles in this one too. One of the clips was of the main character getting inside a vertibird, and although the scene immediately following that was him as just the gunner, maybe you can pilot it as well? Which means the framework is there for other vehicles like the Highwayman? Or a motorcycle with your companion in a comically-small sidecar? If the land vehicle stuff is half-baked or non-existent I hope the Mad Max game is good because I need my fix. SexyCommando fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Jun 17, 2015 |

Unless the dog is programmed to die at the final events of the game or something that's going to be the first mod on the market, changing it so he can be killed.
