The most emergent companion quest you will get in this game is dog asking you for walkies and sniffing at something suddenly triggering either a random event and/or battle. Also why should I give a poo poo about Piper when they don't tell us if she has a 50s news editor voice or not or if we can turn her rag into the National Inquirer?

This part stuck out the most Todd Howard posted:“Oh and we do not focus test our games and never had. People ask why we don’t and I say, ‘I have so many opinions in this studio, I don’t need anymore!’

Like, yeah, we got a college and a library and a baseball park, but I doubt anyone gives a flying gently caress to visit Podunk County Dairy Co-Op and Shankman's Foot Powder Stadium

It's all straight lines that occasionally intersect, it's like functionally impossible to make it a horrific death maze. Large sections of it aren't even underground. gently caress you Bethesda, no horrific dreary underground dungeons for you!

frajaq posted:Seriously! This part stuck out the most Focus testing has been cancer on games for over a decade anyway. It was a neat idea, but the people they bring into these focus tests aren't people who play games or are interested in playing games and will usually throw the publisher the wrong incentive for what to do. It's fine for something like the mobile market, but other types of gaming platforms requires less of that.

I don't know about a blanket and a pillow, but in addition to a flagpole "truck" that contains a single bullet, a match, and a razor blade, the CE is supposed to include a small cotton flag with "FALLOUT 4" on it that might work as a decent blanket.

In an ironic twist of fate you will in fact be taken to the world class medical facilities we have to treat the rancid pit of toxic soup your brainmeats will become after you finally work up the courage to end it all, dying on the table when your post history is shown to the doctors, reminding them you were never really alive in the first place.

If they're from Boston, they probably won't be able to read a post history without pooling their collective brain cells.

Er; Fallout New Vegas question... for some odd reason my two most recent saves both have me dying immediately on spawn, and all of the 'hardcore mode' things (H20, FOD, etc.) start ticking over the warning messages increasing from 'minor' to 'advanced' as my death animation plays. Both times when I saved I was perfectly healthy, no poisoning, no negative effects, etc. Rolling back a few saves evetything's OK but I'd lose a few hours gameplay  Any ideas? I tried disabling hardcore mode but it switches straight back on as soon as the save loads, and the death is instantaneous...

Vegas is bunch of theme park attractions with no real draw in a game, where the gambling is going to be staid and you aren't going to have any acts to speak of. If you are just making poo poo up, you can make anywhere look interesting or have gambling. Why would I care it's Vegas?

It took a lot of work to get that much poo poo in a desert, but unless you are playing a city management game it doesn't loving matter. The only thing they have there is hotels, casinos, and various other attractions. The history is one of....gambling and entertainment. It's one note, and monomaniacal. I would care more about Cowfuck, Wisconsin in a game because at least then I'm asking "Is...is someone going to gently caress a cow? Was there like some historic loving of cows in the past or something?". It's like your posting. You do a lot of it, but it doesn't mean anything. It's a giant neon sign that says "Shitpost", with no actual character inside it. The only thing that comes from it is bitter regret and wasted opportunities. It is the killing ground for any productive impulse humanity has ever had, turned toward masturbatory self-indulgence and spiritual self-destruction.

I sense you're being willfully obtuse because you feel you have some sort of dog in this race, but I've yet to hear any reason why Boston is an interesting setting. Books, a baseball field, and a subway. What makes these something I should care about at all versus an entire city of lights and sound like Vegas?

It doesn't matter where the game is set. What matters is that a buy a disc and the logo on the disc says "Fallout" and I put it into my Xbox and the logo on the main menu says "Fallout" and I have a new Fallout product to play.
