JackBadass posted:Will seeing the grand canyon in a video game move you as much as seeing the real grand canyon with your own eyes? Of course not. What I'm talking about is more the difference between setting the game in a Jurassic Park full of Terminators and setting the game in a nursing home with an old guy who can't eat soup without letting it drool down his face like a baby. The first one doesn't sound interesting, and the second one at least sounds novel. Was...that what you were going for?

But the third game went full-on with the 50's look, for the better if you ask me, since it made the game more than just Mad Max the video game.

Yes, most of the big war details were already established in the original games but I think the most detailed description is from the Fallout Bible. Oh and mods are confirmed, they will be free (for now)and they will be also available for console players somehow.

Holy poo poo was the backlash the first time someone tried paid mods not big enough?

Bethesda has said they're doing a GECK again and also said they have no plans for paid mods. Even if you want to take the worst interpretation possible for "no plans" that means free mods will still be a thing.

Mods will be free, but they'll need to be submitted for approval before being made available for download. At least on the console versions. That means no mole rat boobs.

WarLocke posted:Is this a Fallout 3 retcon thing or did I totally miss it in the earlier games? gently caress me I'm pretty sure the exact date was given in a holotape in Fallout 1. It's also an alternate history that diverged shortly after the end of WWII. Interplay hosed up and put post-WWII real-world guns in FO2 but Avelone is on record saying that was a mistake, that's why none of those guns show up in FO3 or NV. Also, it's not just history that's different; science is a 50's future version of real science, which is how radiation can create ghouls, why nukes are so weirdly under-powered, and why radioactive fallout is so persistent.

The Guardian Interviews Toddquote:“We all have bad things that happen in our lives, and a lot of us wonder how we can go back to before the event, whatever it is. Fallout 4 is about realising that your life has a new normal. We want to put you in the shoes of someone who knows what life was like before this. quote:Elsewhere, Howard says that Fallout 4 is set to learn from the emergent questing system used in Skyrim, which provided emergent tasks for the player. “I can’t spoil it, but we’re doing a better job than we’ve ever done,” he says. We do know there will be romantic possibilities with the game’s human helper characters, of which there are 12, including a journalist named Piper and Preston Garvey, leader of a group named the Commonwealth Minutemen. Emergent companion quests? quote:Howard won’t elaborate on how that will work, but for players who want to make more love than war, the game will meet them at least halfway. “You can avoid [killing] a lot,” he says. “I can’t tell you that you can play the whole game without violence – that’s not necessarily a goal of ours – but we want to support different play styles as much as we can.” marshmallow creep fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Jul 29, 2015 |

You've got MIT, Harvard, Harvard Square, you've got the Prudential Center, you've got a much more interesting subway system than DC. You've got Chinatown and Fenway, you've got the Museum of Science and the Children's Museum, you've got Fanueil Hall, you've got the Aquarium. Boston Library is pretty cool. You've got some old rear end graveyards. Basically there's a lot of NEW ENGLAND poo poo you can pile on top of actual landmarks and it would be pretty cool. Granted they're not as iconic as like, the Statue of Liberty or anything but they're pretty famous landmarks.
