Unclear: Does taking max Toughness (+50 Damage Resistance) and max Refractor (+50 DR against energy) make you immune to energy, take half damage from energy, or 25% damage (half of half)? Or does DR max at 80% like it has in previous games, regardless of how many pluses you have from what?

Everyone keeps talking about mods. I don't understand why, since surely a new game from Bethesda will have paid mods from day 0.

This isn't the only Fallout-based beverage in the works — Carlsberg is producing Fallout Beer, which will be available exclusively in the U.K. on Nov. 5." motherfucker UK Goons (UKG) step up to the plate here .. is this the Monster Brew I've been hearing so much about?

It was full of snapshots of death and sadness — skeletons in a closet holding each other when the nuclear fire swept through; computer journals glibly describing the ways in which technology would go on to betray its makers. It felt like a place where people were, before they suddenly weren't anymore. And then to see the struggle of people building a life on the remains of that world, sometimes successfully, sometimes not, was intense. Yeah, Fallout taught me how to move on with my life after the death of all things. It also taught me not to shoot a Fatman off in an enclosed space or like at the ground Well actually it's good to do that because all of my arms and limbs and legs blew off and I flew several hundred feet through the air.

Bethesda games appeal to me because the unique combination of 1st person perspective, environmental detail, and interactivity means that every little place feels cool because you feel immersed right down in it. For example in other games, any given room in a village or castle or whatever mostly only serves as a connecting point between significant areas for quest activity. They don't draw you in. But in a Bethesda game, any given room and outdoor clearing has enough detail and enough poo poo in it including clutter and containers that you really feel like you could inhabit the place and make a home or base out of it if you wanted. There's a shitload of jank and poor workmanship in Gamebryo Bethesda games obviously, because Bethesda is plain and simply not a very talented development studio, but the games are still fun in their own way because Bethesda has kind of mastered the angle of releasing mostly just blank-slate platforms + mod tool kits that give you MMO-level potential for aimless roleplaying however the hell you want at your own pace, which is almost entirely unique in the genre short of actual MMOs, and it boggles my goddamn mind that so many other developers don't see exactly what's going on and do the exact same thing, considering how much talent it doesn't take relative to other big budget efforts and how much money it ends up making Bethesda.

Even though I get aroused criticizing Bethesda, their games are the ones I have spent most hours in. Also, I bet the new DJ is the same voice actor as Three Dog and will be just as annoying.

Taking note of those Daikatana comparisons, I hereby propose Fallout 4: Todd Howard's About To Make You His Bitch whenever people get to play or new thread is made. And if one DVD really only holds one third at most, Boston should have plenty of diamonds buried in Bethesda "It Works" stuff. Anyone got their hands on console copy for full size or estimate?

There had better be a loving proper last boss and I mean a last boss. Two forms, as big as a room, he fires alternating lasers at you that you have to jump over, you hit three switches to open his power core, shoot one rocket inside, and then repeat twice more until dead.

waaaah I think games that come out in 2015 should look like The Matrix because furthermore I think games that come out after other games should be flawless for these reasons Seriously, all of us know Bethesda by now. Either buy the game for the new gimmicks it offers, because you like the franchise, and you'll like the game. Otherwise just gently caress off
