Why the hell couldn't you romance a Ghoul? All the parts still work, judging by what the NPCs say. I can understand no Super Mutants because they lost their genitals, but that poo poo's racist.

If supermutants have no genitals then how did one gently caress me in the rear end in Broken Hills?

I think the New Vegas thread showed that we need a developer in the thread with us to stop us from devolving into gibbering autists.

We need a better moderated Fallout thread to keep out all "Here's how the game will be terrible" fanfiction, and threats against Todd Howard.

iirc ghouls are sterile and t-hod is a firm believer in the biblical decree that sexual congress only be used for the purposes of reproduction. since ghouls can't have offspring they also can't have sex in t-hod's perfect world

You don't think there's any space in between a "Hugbox" and "Developer X is literally Satan"? I just have a lower tolerance for this kind of stuff after reading stories like the poo poo John Smedley went through that made him decide to retire.

i'm fairly sure there was an entire quest line in the Van Buren game that dealt with some lady ghoul somehow not being sterile, and some creepy scientist guys wanting to get her to reproduce and see what came out. would it be a normal human, or some kind of hosed up monster?

so i guess the only thing grosser than ghouls is an in-depth exploration of their reproductive processes

I for one can not wait for Todd Howard to read this thread and immediately excuse himself from game production for the rest of time. This thread is EXACTLY the "kind of stuff" that makes people retire....



But really, has the dialogue wheel in its current iteration been confirmed for P.C. as well? I mean even the spacial placement of the options is just a mapping of a controller's ab/yx squarecircle/whatever so surely they'd at least change that for P.C, right? Right???

Why would they change it? PC version is going to require a PS4 or Xbox controller to play, keyboard and mouse is too confusing for modern gamers.

Bethesda can't be bothered to make a UI specifically for PC, what makes you think they'll do that?

Cream-of-Plenty posted:

T. Howard has already said, in so many words, that the plot will basically be Blade Runner: The Commonwealth/"Institute" are creating androids for the express purpose of perfecting human torture techniques (they're programmed to think and to feel so that they make the perfect torture test subjects). Some of these subjects escape from captivity and form a "Neo Underground Railroad", which is the how Fallout 3's Harkness/A3-21 escapes to Rivet City; these emancipated androids just want to live out their lives in peace and harmony. You will be the person with a mysterious, implausible background who is charged with finding these escapees and terminating them in the name of SCIENCE...or turning your back on your Commonwealth employer and pledging your allegiance to the Neo Underground Railroad. But wait: A twist in the truth of your checkered past may influence your decision between good and evil!
Shortly after being introduced into the Neo UnderGround RailRoad and it's Operatives, the PC will realize calling all these plot essential character by their full titile, Neo UnderGround RailRoad Operatives, is quite the mouthful and instead opt to call anyone affiliated with the group as N.U.G.R.R.O.s .

Todd Howard is literally the devil and is solely responsible for all evil in the world. I honestly doubt he's even a real person so much as a concept or a metaphore representing anything and everything wrong with the world.

In all seriousness, while I don't think they'll force the PS4/XBox control scheme on PC players there's a very good probability that the game's default behavior when you leave your controller plugged in is to lock you out of using your M+KB until you pick up your controller to navigate through the menus to totally deactivate controller support.

This time they should make you fill out a questionnaire, Facebook-style, asking you why you've chosen not to use a controller to play their game when it's clearly the superior choice.

I recently played New Vegas on pc with mouse and keyboard and everything except the inventories and menus was perfectly fine. Skyrim on pc is perfectly fine with the keybaord and mouse except the UI. My point being is I have great faith that the game play will be fine, what I'm hoping for is the UI is improved. If not then mods will help.

what they aren't revealing until launch is that all of the most common player names that were recorded had to be four characters or less. cuts out most of history's greatest monsters but still leaves room for FAGB and gently caress and GOKU and WEED etc.
