"Welp, looks like you got rear end goblins here. Gonna have to go out to my truck and get some rear end Goblin Tincture and we'll get that right cleared up for you."

Gotta kill some time before it actually comes out, right? More than likely a lot of the details Squeezy has dumped on us are probably just really plausible sounding BS, but whatever the case, it's guaranteed you're gonna find your son as a grown-rear end man and he's gonna be involved in something you have to deal with in some way.

Funny bugs are a charm of Bethesda games. I remember watching peoples Red Dead redemption videos and seeing donkey woman and the bird people. I was super jealous that I couldn't get those things to happen in my game (they patched it out or something). Also, the (pc) graphics look real good to me.  Speaking as a professional digital artist, I admire the art direction. I love the soft edges theme used for all the old world stuff, and the strange mix of faded but somehow vibrant colour used on it. They used mainly primary colours and occasionally secondary colours to paint everything so stuff that's painted stands out. It's clever and looks good. I'll be saving my pennies up for the art book. Sucks that it's delayed until December.Owlofcreamcheese posted:Also you can easily click the link and see there are clearly indoor shadows even in your house and literally one scene takes place in an extremely overly brightly lit room that has dimmer shadows for thematic reasons. Where the guy at the door casts the first shadow into your life to ask if you know about the war coming. (and then a nuclear war kills everyone). That's not dumb at all even. That's some pretty good symbolism actually. I like it. Cheap Shot fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Nov 4, 2015 |

They actually named the baby Shaun. I know I said it was going to be Heavy Rain dialogue with an LA Noire interface, but I wasn't ready for this. Cream-Of-Plenty's posts have coalesced into a pool of primordial soup and Fallout 4 has sprung from it's depths.

Bethesda games are like a plot assembly kit. They provide you with some lovely sample plots and then you have to go build your own by bollocksing around the world and falling into dungeons and stuff. If you play Bethesda games like you played with action men as a kid you'll have fun with them.
