The choice didn't mean anything before.

There are more meaningful choices now in the form of weapon type specializations.

I'll poo poo on Bethesda when Bethesda deserves to be shat on (graphics, animation, story), but not everything is terrible.

I can't wait to meet the companion who is a teen tech expert but he's also a horny 50s kid and during fights against raiders he says "jeepers, look at the bazongas on that one", and other fairly epic stuff from the people who brought you memorable companions like the nice power armor woman who was blonde and the war robot who floats around and says war stuff

Actually, there are fairly substantial differences between guns and energy weapons in New Vegas, and the choice between easier combat in the early game with Small Guns versus easier combat in the late game with Big Guns or Energy Weapons in FO1/FO2 is also somewhat meaningful.

Besides, it's still an idiotic approach, just like "radiation weapons" will be some of the dumbest poo poo in video games.

I havent had a plrecription for my eyes in years so the other day I went and got a new one and it hasnt changed. The doctor was like why havent you seen us in 4 years? I told them im scared of op tomietris when the air shoots into your eyes and dilation. They told me my eyes cold get worse....

you say it like you are making a joke but I would use a companion if he made comments like that ... that sounds like what a good game would have, but sure enough bethesda so it will be like "look at the troons bulge"

also, lol at the guy who was distressed that you cant gaymance companions like that is the big selling point of fallout 4 a game where you explore a nuclear apolycapse wasteland to build the best real doll imaginable and it is basically futuristic murder tourism

the only companion mods I ever used were like the pretty girl ones posted on nexus, all of the companions are dumb - I dont like dogs in real life and I dont want a dog barking on m computer to pick up a wrench and jerk me off in a gas station. Although the dog who doesnt care it is on fire is pretty cool. I guess I am confliced about companions now that ive typed a bit on the subject.

I do like the "jeepers look at the bazongas on that one" and maybe the binoculars go blurry and you got to screw your eyes back in like a 1970s cartoon haha

Because marketing. And its still ironclad for digital versions of the game which is why they want to push that future of everyone following the release date to the letter.

It's stuff that pretty much any game released in the past decade has been able to do. Or at least implement middleware to do. You would think one of the most profitable AAA game studios would be able to do that, but I guess not.

Joyous.
From those videos Fallout 4 seems to be a high quality, bug-free game similar to other Bethesda games I have bought within the past 15 years. I should intuitively be able to shoot grenades in mid-air through VATS or throw back grenades with the push of a button but likely cannot because Bethesda is wise. I will continue to read this thread assuming many of its poster's first Elder Scrolls/Bethesda-developped game was Skyrim/Fallout 3 and that many of them are insecure consumers.

Holy poo poo, like I kind of expected low production values, but that lipsynching, goddamn. Is that yet another thing the console ports sacrifice for a few sweet sweet FPS, or is like that in the PC version too? If they actually intend to release the game like that, I may not stop laughing until the game comes out.

Also, love that Bethesda writing. It's great that they hired all these outside specialists for combat and poo poo, and yet the writing is still Fallout 3-quality or worse.
