I imagine if it is true then it'll be something you unlock a little bit into the game. Either because there'll be some sort of material required that'll be quite rare or it's just something you unlock through progression in the main quest or something.

The way to access the vertabird is to find the parts and do a fixer upper on it.

The only thing I want to know is if that Prima guide screw up about craftable vehicles is true or not.
I don't recall any screw-up, only them speculating about whether you could build a house then drive it around.

Some people decided to take that as gospel.

So real talk, why the gently caress have I heard barely nothing about this? It's loving Fallout and a Bethesda game. Skyrim was hyped to poo poo and had ads and articles touting how insanely good it was all but being blared 24/7 from the top of a mountain for months.

I keep seeing people saying this, as if they didn't sell as many pre-orders as the disc pressing factory can pump out by doing nothing more than confirming the game's existence.

It's probably like Fallout Shelter where Radiation lowers your max health.

I think it's the new radiation penalty.

Yep, as you gain rads your maximum health decreases. There will probably be other effects as it increases.

I'm too lazy to quote the thing about vehicles, the post claimed the game has drivable houses, not vehicles. Drivable houses are inherently cooler than drivable vehicles. I'm MAD that we don't get a cool looking 3D world map like Skyrim had, but maybe we'll get to fly around in a blimp.

They are the people who wrote the guide, why would they speculate? They should know all about the game.

Yeah. Besides this has had just as much publicity as their last few games, it's been all over the gaming press since before E3, videos, live action trailers, stupid tacky merchandising, the works.

Bethesda is some Adam Sandler style scheme where they just hire their friends and family to "work" on their game using the same engine and animations for 10 years while splitting all the money.

There is no other explanation, where the gently caress is all the money they make going to?

I initially read this as building a horse and driving it around. Pretty cool, either way.

According to that thread, the PS4 version is the one sent out to reviewers, not the Xbone. Bethesda must be pretty confident in that being the better looking console release.

Depends on your point of view. It could be almost no one or everyone depending on who you can kill in this game or who you can't stand! You've got some twats in Power Armor called the Brotherhood of Steel, Turbo Dorks that create thinking robot slaves because they're bitter shut ins at The Institute and the Underground Railroad that cares more about Andriod rights than the general suffering all over the wastes of human slavery, cannibalism and mutation.

When I said "I think it looks like poo poo" earlier I was kinda expecting to have been proven wrong, not getting my fears realized.

It looks good in some ways, I guess, but things like the bobblehead and the LOD are just terrible. I thought the point of new consoles was to get away from poo poo-looking games, not embrace them.

I think it's better to say that the game looks wildly inconsistent. Some shots look great, others honestly look worse than vanilla Fallout 3 on max settings. I don't know if that's just console limitations or if Bethesda decided to get lazy and phone some textures and lighting effects in after doing all the work on the really good effects.

Okay, I love bitching about Bethesda and all, but seriously those shots like fine to mine. Like, not particularly amazing or anything, but are W3-level graphics really what anyone is buying the game for? As long as the settlements and weapon customization work and are good on release and the new perk system is isn't total garbage I'll get my $45 bucks out of it.

Edit: Post the perk list, goddamn it.

Why would the big world reveal after leaving the vault look like poo poo, but some random house have such high res trees next to it?

Exactly. One of the best examples is the execution scene in Helgen at the start of Skyrim. One Imperial puts the prisoner on the block then slides into position. Too janky to make the character walk behind the prisoner before playing the beheading animation.

I'm pretty sure I read this weeks ago from a site that was just making poo poo up.

Were they in fact not making poo poo up? Has this been confirmed or is this ultimately sourced from that dumb site?

Edit: Oh. Okay.
