Ironically, Fallout 3 has less bugs on 360 and PS3 because it actually had an updated engine, but they didn't bother to move the engine beyond Oblivion's for the PC.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:Are you playing the 360/PS3 version? The PC version has no such problems if patched through Steam as of 2012. I didn't have any problems with my release copy for the 360, save the weird arm jump rope. I've never had any serious or unfunny problems with any bethesda sandbox game, ever. Meanwhile, my friend can't play any of them without encountering issues that no one has ever documented before, almost constantly.

Compare to the 360 version where I have to save when I fast travel to the Sink because this might be the moment when the game keels over and dies.

There's always one guy who can't run Morrowind or whatever because their particular specific setup of CPU/GPU/RAM/hard drive collides with the lovely engine logic in an awful way in which nothing works and nobody can ever figure out what the problem is.

Somewhat related, upon New Vegas' release I've had NCR soldiers fall from the sky and fall to their death ala that one guy in Morrowind and thought it was completely intentional. Nobody else had this, though. I'm pretty sure some engine features are determined entirely by RNG.

Mendrian posted:How exactly would you design a game around quicksaves/save states anyway? I mean you can design mechanics around limited save systems (since you have something to hang them on) but a free/open save system is literally the opposite of a mechanic. It's a lack of structure.

I like Dragon's Dogma's system of fast travel, as well. You start out with no access to it, and traversing the map is basically planning an expedition, learning what's out there and preparing weapons and equipment to not die as you explore, and then you get access to items that let you set your own fast travel points to wherever you like and then you use magic stones teleport to those places, as well as a static fast travel point in the main hub so you can get home in a hurry. I would have preferred both of those items to be available sooner, simply because some parts of the map can be quite a trudge as you get further along, but all in all I thought it worked magnificently for a game about exploring a dangerous world full of fantastical monsters.

I still find it loving hilarious how the endgame recap for NV is literally just your character sitting in a room looking at a wall that has images "projected" on to it while an actual NPC talks beside you. When I first completed the story it was like the chair I was on had shorter legs on one side so I was awkwardly staring at the ceiling with only a fraction of the actual intended "cutscene" being visible. It was on the 360, so there wasn't even any mod fuckery going on.

There's an NPC called Cannibal Johnson, one of the Enclave Remnants. If he survives the battle there's a decent chance he'll spend the entire ending slideshow walking around you in a circle and getting in the way of the camera. Nowadays I just pop a bunch of Turbo and let the Legate cut him down before getting into the fight.

Syrant posted:Okay so... being perfectly honest I would buy the gently caress out of Harvest Moon: Fallout Edition. Well they already have like all the basic tools to make Harvest Moon: Fallout Edition, so I'm sure that some modder will quickly add in whatever they don't. Or they'll do it themselves in an expansion, they *did* make Hearthfire after all. If they'd make the chillest and most relaxed expansion for one game, I imagine they are willing to do the same for another if they see money in it.

It was features that should have been in the base game, namely houses in the three regions that were missing houses. Yes, the building of the house was an interesting idea, but all the designs looked drat near the same. Even at $2, it felt like a bit of a ripoff. That said, it looks like they learned a lot from that with the building tools we've seen thus far in Fallout 4. My only fear in that department is microtransactions.

Oh it was totally lacking in depth, but the point is that it was an expansion to Magic Vikings on Crack that added.....house dress up and adopting little kids. Like, did not see that coming. What we've seen as is of the building in Fallout 4 is already a million times more detailed than Hearthfire, but if they were willing to add an anemic home experience for Skyrim, what would they had for a game that already has a solid basis to build around?

Fallout 4 will have a vault that is actually two vaults. The two vaults will be completely disconnected, but interwoven like tangled Christmas lights. In one vault, vault A, will be average humans, just trying to wait out the radiation underground. The other vault, vault B, will be packed full of horses. The people of vault A will be completely unaware of vault B, but they'll be able to hear horse noises all the time.

Horses are extinct in Fallout. If Bethesda brought them back even in say, a semi-canon comic that hardly anyone read, it would ruin Fallout FOREVER!

I hope this game has more than 4 songs. Even if music styles stayed the same from the 1950s or whatever until the 2070s, and then the 2270s, surely somebody would've written some new stuff? Is this a universe in which classic rock and dubstep never existed?

I can't wait to see if removing one item from a table makes all of them start to float around, or if walking over a ribcage makes it spaz out so much it eventually flings itself into orbit.

I only played New Vegas and the expansions and really enjoyed them! I like the quirky characters and storylines. Mr House, those brains at war with eachother and so on. From what I understand, its the other company doing Fallout 4, but based on New Vegas i'm all in!
