I like the redesigned Vault Dweller suits. They look slightly more complicated and sci-fi-y than flat fabric now.

Bethesda paid them to come to their party so that they'd get more advertisements out on sites.

Bethesda had some kind of Fallout 4 Launch party in SoCal recently and invited a bunch of stars/hipsters/rich people. Because why even make a loving launch party when anyone invested in the series never goes outside.



e: LOL bethesda apparently invited Calvin Harris to the loving Fallout 4 Party. That's what the nerds like, pop music!

Don't forget, as an added bonus, this streamer has a habit of intentionally stopping what he is doing to leer at female character model's asses.

"I had this moment where I needed ceramic. And I asked 'what's ceramic?' Ok, coffee mugs have ceramic. Where I was in the game there was a drive-in theater and they had a gift shop. 'Oh I bet they have coffee mugs.' I see the coffee mugs in it and I run in and 'BAM!' this landmine trap kills me. Blows me up.
So I reload the game. I gotta be really careful this time and get the coffee mug. And for some reason I missed it again and it kills me again. So then I get a follower who's with me, and you can command them, and I said 'go in and get the coffee mug.' And the follower goes in.
BAM! The thing goes off. But it doesn't kill me. But it blows the coffee mug out of the gift shop and into the grass. So now I'm hunting through the grass for this coffee mug. And you could not script that. It was this total combat just about getting this coffee mug. You would never have a designer who would say 'I have this scenario with landmines and a coffee mug you need.' It was all in my head. But it always stuck with me afterwards. I had one of my favorite experiences trying to get a coffee mug."

Muggy would be proud.

EDIT: Yeah, the new art assets are pretty sweet. They went all-out with the more colorful world designs. The new vault interiors are pretty rad.

DOUBLE EDIT: Hidden dead guy hiding behind a crate, that has a party popper explode and a kazoo go off when you find him, and he has a lunch box, a bowl of cereal, and other sugary foods crammed under his armpits? Haha. Okay, Bethesda. I like you. Your spoken dialogue may be a bit basic but your environmental storytelling is still great.

Doesn't Boston already have a bunch of rear end in a top hat techno overlords though?

I liked Lyons group, they noticed Brotherhood policy was a bunch of pointless dickery these days and wanted to help out.

I thought Lyons chapter was always supposed to be a bit weird in that they found themselves in a situation (and adapted to that situation) that they and their superiors never really expected them to get into.

and i thought that mostly had to do with the survivors in the area treating Lyons Chapter very differently than people elsewhere generally treat the BoS

My problem wasn't that they were breaking with the brotherhood tradition. I was forced to side with them / be a good guy is the problem.

Well, the Eastern BoS still recruits outsiders, so they at least progressed somewhat compared to the Western BoS.

That's kinda the issue - either you stay your normal isolationist BoS and stagnate, or you "go native" and you get something resembling the BoS in Fallout 3.

I mean granted they didn't necessarily have to be as unambiguously good as they were in FO3, but given the circumstances (super mutants everywhere) it's honestly a pretty logical outcome.

Except for the one where you get them to ally with NCR, yeah. Even then they basically patrol the highway swiping laser pistols and hanging out in their bunker though.

No one ever mentioned the status of Fallout Tactics midwest BoS empire so I'm assuming that's just poo poo that didn't happen. The east coast might be all that's left.
