What's up with these recommended PC specs? I like to think i have a unnecessary good computer, but even still my CPU cut's it a bit close to the recommended specs. Normal people that don't sit on their rear end masturbating all over their computer all day like me are gonna be hosed.

Is this just conjecture from the awkward body language or did they confirm they're taking the Bioware influence 'round the whole bend and trying to write way beyond their boundaries to make an embarrassment of themselves?

If so, I can't wait for Bethesda to forget that gay/bi people exist like they did in FO3, and somehow miss every other lesson NV should have taught them about dealing with this stuff in Fallout.

I know same-sex relationships were in Skyrim but it was only in the case of the player and it'd be laughable to call them actual relationships even by the worst of Bioware's standards

On a real note, I wish they'd stop being such cock teases and just release the drat game already :arghfist: I suspect as we draw closer they're going to be releasing more and more stuff for people to look at, they need to contend with a few other major releases around the same time and they'll want to get the hype back up to where it was around E3.
There is only one other major release this November that is drawing the same attention, and EA almost shot themselves in the foot with it during the beta last week. Bethesda is doing a fine job, keeping the demand simmering but not boiling over. Expect them to turn up the heat in the last two weeks before the release, just like they did with the E3 event.

Recommended specs seem to have become suuuuuuper inflated since next-gen consoles launched, cynically this could be seen as a weird form of bragging, but I think it's just because they don't bother to test on an absurd amount of systems and just round up to give leeway so dumb people that leave poo poo on in the background don't bitch about choppiness because their 8 GB RAM & i3 CPU can't handle the game alongside a billion Chrome tabs.

The consoles versions are running on heavily underclocked APUs that barely meet the affordable mid-tier benchmark for PCs, the only thing we have to worry about is how shoddy and bloated the engine will be this time around.

At first glance I thought that was like, a hood from underneath her jacket or something.

I mean... It looks... better than it did in the other games? Kinda?

Well, it's something, I guess. The writing will no doubt still be cringeworthy and I noticed a distinct lack of Confirmed Bachelor alongside the Lady Killer perk in that character system video, but oh well, only so much you can ask for.

Skip to about 0:24 and there's some footage of Piper. Her mouth is kinda weird though, I hope it's not that noticeable in the game itself as we also saw the same with the Vault-Tec salesman; they way they move their lips is not how you'd pronounce a P, B or O.

IIRC in addition to Battlefront the next CoD and Halo games are also coming out within 2 weeks of Fallout 4, there could also be others but there's only 1 other game confirmed coming out in 2015 that I'm interested so I'm not paying too close attention to the market. I suspect Bethesda doesn't want to fall behind the other AAA holiday releases and will ratchet up the pressure to keep the Fallout name in the forefront.

The going theory is that your character will be able to hit on anything with two legs without needing to grab a perk turning them into a newly minted queerbie. People seem way too invested in their fake computer character relationships that validate their existence.

It would be funny, however, if all the sexy-time dialog was locked behind the Charisma 2 lady killer perk, and Charisma 1 characters are inherently asexual.

Literally nothing released as part of an advertising campaign before release day for any game is ever really gameplay footage or representative of final gameplay. Especially on a high profile AAA game. Even if they art it up to look like gameplay, it isn't. 99% of the time it is 'pre-rendered in engine footage.'

I know that's not 100% true but just go into anything thinking that and you won't be disappointed.

Actually, this is one place where having a voiced protagonist might help. If an actual human being has to speak the lines aloud, there's a chance on awful ones like that they might just look at the voice director and go, "this is loving awful, can we do something about it?"

Granted if there's enough they'd just eventually give up on constantly doing rewrites but it is still something. Best advice is probably still to prepare yourself for garbage.
