And Jx "Krieger" Fallout needs the Rush vans. One thread so far on subreddit speculates it's for getting around within your settlement as fancy fast travel, which does sound plausible. If Bethesda actually squeezed out a fully mobile and functioning murdercar, I'll be surprised.

Reactor meltdown and bomb explosions are not the same thing. The radiation from a bomb would disperse in a matter of weeks or months, and would not still be irradiated wasteland years later. But they've addressed that already by basically saying "it's different in fallout"

I still think the wasteland aspect is due to the pre-war obsession with putting fission reactors into everything from toasters to cars to airplanes. All that nuclear fuel getting into the ground water would pretty much ruin most everywhere. Why ground zero locations are still irradiated as gently caress... :iiam:

Just re-watched the dialogue between John Fallout and Piper. I never realized just how unsettling her mouth movements are.

It's most likely you are limited to your home base. Though it would be pretty amazing if you can build your own cars.

You know, the Highway man has always kinda reminded me of another car:


Not sure if that was intentional of Black Isle or not, or if they just wanted to copy any old classic American car with huge rear end fins.

The main character seemed to have decent facial movements so maybe that bit was shot while her dialogue face posing was still a WIP. Or maybe she's supposed to be that way. Who knows.

You nerds being upset about him modifying a no-longer working radio to serve as a box for a PC amuses me. He probably did that to the radio because he knew he couldn't anything for it anyway.

Having a drivable vehicle with wheels requires flat roads, even in Mad Max there's well maintained dirt roads everywhere somehow. I would love something really stupid like a giant drivable house, or at least the ability to wall in your settlement and throw deathclaws in it. I just hope we can pilot that airship.

Being able to move your house, where it just warps from location to location if you put wheels on it, does seem plausible. But yeah a fully driveable war rig does seem to be beyond Bethesda's abilities. They can't even make ladders, let alone proper driveable vehicles.

Yes, thankfully this time round they have resisted doing all the annoying preorder shite like in New Vegas.

New Vegas had some pre-order item packs. But I don't recall Skyrim, FO3 or Oblivion having them. I guess Todd Howard is important enough that he can get away with telling ZeniMax where they can shove their pre-orders.
There's the collector's edition, but good luck finding one at this point.

As far as pre-order stuff goes, New Vegas' was pretty light. It's not like it was a bonus mission or any sort actual content. It was just a handful of items. Heck, most people probably dumped the weapons and armour an hour into the game because they would have gotten better stuff.

This talk of cars reminds me how weird the roads of Fallout: New Vegas were. Remember the NCR checkpoint on the southern edge of the game world? There is this incredibly steep road that leads up to it. I don't think you'd find any road that steep in the real world. Roads that go up hills are supposed to be winding so as to minimize the incline. Oblivion also had weird roads like that.

It annoyed me when I realised a few hours in that the stupid vault canteen was cancelling out the need for me to drink water in hardcore mode.

We have those here. In fact, my home town was named after our steep hills.

Unless you count the worship of money, because lol if you don't think I'm going to sell the pip-boy for at least 4x what I paid as soon as I get bored with it.

I dunno if it is just an Australian thing, but from EB Games I've ordered the "Nuke Pack" edition, which comes with the game in a steelbook, a Fallout lunchbox, a F4 pipboy vault boy bobblehead, a massive poster print, and a copy of the games soundtrack.

Here it is on their site

Who wants some waffles?

There lived a wise man in Novac whose name was No-bark. Men came from all parts of the wasteland to see him and talk to him.

No-bark was a strange man. He said that no man needed much, and so he did not live in a house but slept in a barrel, which he rolled about from place to place. He spent his days sitting in the sun and saying wise things to those who were around him.

When Caesar came to that town he went to see the wise man. He found No-bark outside the town lying on the ground by his barrel. He was enjoying the sun.

When he saw the great leader he sat up and looked at Caesar. Caesar greeted him and said:

"No-bark, I have heard a great deal about you. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Yes," said No-bark, "you can step aside a little so as not to keep the sunshine from me."

Caesar was very much surprised. But this answer did not make him angry. He turned to his officers with the following words:

"Say what you like, but if I were not Caesar, I should like to be No-bark."

They did show you were able to graft leather armor pieces to the vault suit so yeah, I'd assume upgrading armor is a lot like upgrading weapons. There's only so many parts to chose from and some of them are likely better on or exclusive to only certain kinds of armors.

Yes on both actually. The power armor looks like to be able to be modified to hell, but you can do the latter morrowind-style. We've also been shown outfits that cover all the body parts though
