The vault was designed to test if people with the same genes would act differently over multiple generations under the same circumstances, you are the MC but your generation is killed off when bandits/mercenaries hired by the institute break in looking for pure humans and destroy the reactor. They kidnap Shaun thinking he's perfect for their experiments only to find out, he and everyone else was a clone, and therefore useless. Shaun is raised by them, then he grows up and flees them, to found a slaver faction. He then develops a wasting disease all clones get after a few decades, you dont have it yet, since you wake later then him. But he thinks his clone parents DNA holds the cure to his sickness. At the end of the game, you can either kill him, and continue on, or let him kill you, so he can survive, you can then play on as him

Well it's not any dumber than FO3's ending.

I bet the game is going to have some shadows. Otherwise how would you hide in them with your stealthy sneaky man.

Would it allow the user to fix the bugs in the game from within the game itself? That would be truly be next-gen.

There is zero chance a Bethesda game set in New England does not contain copious Lovecraft references.

I will say that there seems to be an insane amount of hyperbole on all sides about this game and it's kind of crazy. There have been a ton of posts since I last checked the thread and they largely seem to be people arguing about the most minor of things.

Nothing at all, thread is an unending back and forth between people who complain about the game and people who get upset when people complain about the game

Oh and there were some screenshots at one point maybe?

Great, now I want an Atom Cats leather jacket IRL.

If the game is simply Skyrim in Boston, + Guns +Power Armour - Magic that's all I need. Although a DLC where you murder mutant Yankee fans for a crazy Red Sox vendor would be a buy.

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.

Effectronica posted:

What is your point? Games are inherently stupid and everything is awful? What a miserable way to live.

You and others complain about the most ridiculously petty bullshit and carry on for pages with it, would be the point. I absolutely won't begrudge anyone thinking there are weird graphical issues, poor AI, or not liking the change to the dialogue wheel. I won't even begrudge you lol map sure has a lot of water even though that water might be as content dense as the rest of the game for all anyone knows. And yes, some super fanboys are obfuscating some legitimate complaints.

But when you complain about stupid poo poo that only a complete autist would care about like how unrealistic the guns are, things not reacting realistically to being on fire, and invisible zone walls you just sound like a moron. Also complaining about "lore changes" when you are just some idiot on the internet makes you a giant baby bitch. If Bethesda thinks there should be a power armor gang then bad news for you friend: it's canon and no amount of forum posting is going to change it. If it really bothers you then here is an immersive reason; whichever rear end in a top hat I sold about 70 full suits of power armor to in FO3 hoofed it to Boston and made a killing.

How about instead of quoting the number of employees at Bethesda Softworks, you try the number of employees at Bethesda Game Studios, the actual dev team? Novel idea. There are 1,947 people who work at BGS according to their corporate site; many of them small children.
