I plan on using a highly modified laser musket and some kind of karate for when its time to get personal

I ain't touching the laser musket until someone puts together a mod to make it lever-action instead of a crank. :colbert:

E: I quoted the wrong person but oh well.

What, exactly, prey tell, doctor professor genius person of unknown gender, would a lever be cocking ( :haw: ) in a LASER based piece of projectile weaponry!! I swear, you people never think these things through. Clods. Imbeciles! :colbert:

I can't help you I'm afraid, if I have to explain the well documented and scientific fact surrounding why levers are better then cranks, it's already beyond your limited comprehension on the subject. :crossarms:

The friction of the cocking creates a magnetic field that transports the laser to somebody's body.

Levers being better than cranks is more reason for it to be crank, not less. It's a janky laser musket, it's not supposed to look competently designed.

Due to the magic of modding, I fully expect that to happen. Right along with junkbot power armor, that is made out of like milk cartons and duct tape and some rebar pipes.

Seriously sticking weird junk together to make horrible abomination weapons is the best thing Bethesda has added to this game series and NV's lack of that really made me unhappy.

It's pretty much the main reason I'm interested in the new FO. I usually don't have the patience for crafting, but kitbashing together some bizzare wasteland weaponary of your own design is too rad to pass up on.

The cocking of the laser rifle is actually to rinse the lens of dust so that you get higher precision shots.

Wow, that looks abysmal. Close up, things are passable but Bethesda can't do distances for poo poo.

Was really hoping for a bigger leap from PS3 > PS4 than this.

I actually like the softer, cartoonier graphic style quite a bit. It's a bit more provocative than the "Grey and realistic" of the previous two games.

I mean you might have better rendering distances and sharper models, maybe, but I think it looks perfectly fine for "Bethesda Action RPG Seven". What did you realistically expect from them?

Haha this reminds me of an email to giantbomb I heard last week, this guy wrote in talking about him being in a sociology or something class, and how the professor is requiring them to install and play second life and "interact with" a certain number of "netizens" as the term progressed, and to attend classes in second life. The first thing I imagined was just an invasion of dicks, and the professor probably having some non-animated avatar that looks like an apple or some stupid poo poo.

A slider for object/actor/terrain/grass fade, those shots look nice for the up-close stuff, but the landscapes always looked like paper mache with twigs sticking out

Combined with the color palette, I'm very sure it's intentional.

EDIT: Also all the realtime construction stuff for settlements probably meant a tradeoff in graphics quality too.

Just because a company always turns out games that look like rear end doesn't excuse it when they do it again. The apologetic attitude towards it is why they keep doing it. They rightfully should get lambasted for presenting a game that looks below the curve when you consider things like Witcher 3 came out on the same platforms looking much better.

Why should they try to push the bar when they get excused for not doing so?

Well at least we can see what the 100 dollar (but 150 dollar in value!) Fallout Loot Crate includes now that people are starting to get them.

Those sure are some coasters all right.

I'd say the whole "150 dollar value" would be a lie but seeing how pricey the items in the Bethesda store actually are I guess they were actually being honest there.

Won't argue with this, I am not a huge fan of the UI so far, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Other than that there isn't really any aliasing on that ps4 version is there? That's impressive IMO.
