Watching those leaked videos I can't tell whether or not animation was bad/game was ugly because the quality of the videos I've seen was pretty poo poo. Not saying you're wrong, just that the videos I've seen thus far have not been very good quality.

The perk list from a dozen or so pages back definitely got me hyped; I'm going to have some serious difficulty deciding on perks now. I am very excited for this game.

The videos that really took the wind outta my sails have been taken down now, so I can't really point out the specific stuff. I hope you enjoy Fallout 4!

That remastered trailer is good and funny

What problem? The game being a shallow pile of crap? That won't go away regardless of what happens to this thread.

See that conversation actually seemed to work okay with the new dialogue system.

I have a question.

The red line on the HP bar. Will radiation in Fallout 4 work like it does in Fallout Shelter where radiation decreases your overall health? That would be disappointing compared to the older radiation sickness style that's used in 3/NV.

Edit: /\ Lower max HP seems to be one of several effects radiation has on you. It's still a general stat decrease.

No reason it can't be both. I like that it makes becoming irradiated have a strong immediate effect.

I greatly disagree but Obsidian recently handled this system perfectly in Pillars of Eternity by giving you an option to toggle off dialogue options that you don't have the stats for. Saves you from seeing what you missed and also prevents you from gaming the system by leveling up certain stats just to pass that threshold.

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....
I still dont know how anyon on earth (especially on a console) can get 1000+ hours out of this game.

I just do not see how that is possible. There is not enough content because all of the fallout games are completely devoid of 1000 hours of content.

HOW do people get that much time out of these games? You DO REALIZE there are MUCH more fulfilling games to play for that period of time? Where the progression actually matters and means something? Sure if you PC it and have a harem of like 100 hot naked fallout companions thats one thing, but wha tthe gently caress? Several people have pointed out they have thousands of hours into the fallout 3 game ... sewer simulator 2010 which was probably one of the least enjoyable games I played in the past decade (oh I tried to really like all of the fallout games since fallout 2was really good back in te day)

Im not being a jerk, I just want to know what do people do for 1000 hours? There is no way you are telling me you just keep going back through the same content repeatedly killing the same enemies over and over because there is not 1000 hours of the game. Its like a 20 to 30 hour game if you just follow the main story and still do side missions. In new vegas I think I had like 40 hours when I said "gently caress, this is reall boring" and went to playing quake 3 again or something.

Im just baffled. Are people so hard up for a good game that they can wander a mediocre lovely one for thousands of hours? Are we really starved that much of games that "fill this itch?". I've put like 1000 hours into the quake series throughout my lifep robably 10s of thousands of hours, but thats over a period of decades, and the game has endless content meanwhile I have a friend who says his playtime on Fallout 3 on xbox 360 is like 600 hours ... what the gently caress do you do for 600 hours?

Ill probably get this game because there is nothing else "consuming" as bethesda games and Im like 80 hours into the witcher 3 and not even halfway through and want to shoot dudes with guns but call of duty is also coming out ...

falolout 3 wasnt good enough to play for 1000 hours, butconvince me what you were doing in that time because 1000 hours is a LOT Of time. I tried to play new vegas the other day for like 2 hours, and I was like god drat this is boring af

Well, we know that the percentage based speech checks are still in, so it can't be the latter.

Oh boy, percentage based checks! Those really elevate the quality of the game, causing you to reload over and over and experience the same bit multiple times! Percentage based checks are what made Wasteland 2 great and not a tedious slog.

It's not THowards fault you are weak-willed.
