how weird to hear a not pissed-off Jack :v:

Definitely considering playing female protag on my first run because of Courtenay Taylor instead of a male. Not that the other voice actor is bad or anything, but she has that extra touch

This may or may not be correct.

If she yells "I will destroy you!" at any point, it'll be worth it.

:agreed: I'm always interested in voicework and audio stuff, but it's cool that they went with the idea of: "Let's have the two protagonists be the closest to an actual person, as opposed to caricatures you usually come across the wasteland."

Still, doubt the writing will be anything more than standard black/white Bethesda...but at least there's less fear of all the PC quips getting annoying far too quick.

I honestly think that this Kal-El Bogdanove guy is a really interesting (and really brave) choice for the male VA. You've got Taylor's husky phone-sex voice--there's this acerbic moistness to her words that never seems to let up. I want to tell her that "I'd like to know more" over and over.

Then you've got Bogdanove's meandering accountant, which has the quality of somebody's voice momentarily changing and they need to clear their throat to "reset" it but they keep talking. It's very unexpected and magnetic.

It reminds me of when I first saw Stephen Dilliane playing Stannis in the second season of GoT and just looking at him I was like: "Huh...this guy is the 'utterly without mercy' battle commander? He looks like an accountant from a modern-day cubicle."

But when he gets to work on acting and by the end of season 2...yea, you can't imagine anyone else being more perfect.

EDIT: Ah okay...voice director...still, point stands about VAing.

Him coming off as a boring accountant type was fully in keeping with the character and probably what he was going for. The whole situation with him and his brother in the beginning of the second season is because he lacks the sort of charisma and inspirational presence expected in a leader.

I'm not terribly concerned by that considering voice acting was probably not the reason why those games were bad.

Not pleasant when angered.
You can be sure that boobies will be modded in pretty drat quick.

That mod story, while interesting, has been mentioned before in this thread, though you'd have to dig back pretty early to find it. That's what is so drat frustrating about this game, there is no new information being released, any news i've seen in the past few weeks is just rehashed stuff. IGN had a couple videos supposedly about the crafting system and "freedom of choice", but they were literally just 2 minutes of talking about nothing. That leaked video is at least something, but since the screen is obscured by shoulders the majority of the video blocking out everything that's making the audience yell in glee, IT STILL TELLS US NOTHING.

It may be cool to go into this game blind, and just discovering everything as you play, but I'd like to have SOMETHING new pop up, some interesting news or demo that'll get some discussions going.

I assume modders are making assets right now that will (ideally) be quickly imported and converted when the proper tools become available.

The first mods will be your basic texture & sound replaces, which require no special tools.
Next up will be mesh replacers. Since I really doubt Bethesda is going to move away from the nif format, that won't require fancy new tools.

Anything more advanced then that will require toolset level tools. I expect people to adapt programs developed for Skyrim to FO4 fairly quickly though, so we probably won't have to wait the several months until the toolset is released.
Though hopefully we can avoid problems like SkyEdit.

In the voice actor interview video they mentioned that there is new information coming "in the next few weeks" so there could be more on the way? The interview was posted Aug 13 but who knows when it was actually recorded.

Still, it's the middle of summer and things are generally slow. I suspect they'll be releasing more information and details after Labour Day and as we get closer to the fall and release date. Though honestly I don't want to know everything there is to know about the game by the time it comes out; I'd rather be playing it and finding things for myself.

Honestly, almost no digital dicks or breasts are "built" in the classical sense of the word any more. You're not going to see somebody beholding Jack Fallout's nude form and asking himself, How can I shape him? What program should I use to build his penis? Nobody asks those questions.

The reality is that, at this point, we've got the "answers" to questions that haven't even been asked yet. An entire cottage industry has been churning out dicks and tits and twats for over a decade--a majority of which don't even end up being used on a character model. You've got a guy, he's been building dicks for years now. Big dicks, small dicks, blue dicks, dog dicks, alien dicks...but his website is just a single "booth" in a crowded market. He lays his dicks out like crates of cucumbers and, with a wave of his hand, seems to say, "Here are my humble wares. Take your time."

Nowadays, somebody with less than ten minutes of experience in NifScope or Blender can pick a dick off of the shelf and bolt it on their Liara or Master Chief. You don't even need to plan ahead anymore. The whole thing is loveless and joyless like buying a Honda Civic when people still seem to think the question is "what shape should my car be?"
