Regardless of reviews, i know this game will be amazing! It's bethesda for crying out loud, amazing games but with some bugs to squash.

I still think I'm going to miss skills and skill points, really, even though there's probably no more difference in the granularity or breadth of choice offered by FO4's system.

Rolling, at least for PC. Set your VPN to New Zealand.

Are there decent free VPNs? Or is the 10 dollar one the best bet?

That really pissed me off when I heard that. You could pick so much cool poo poo from the 50's, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Bill Haley... They go back and re-use the same mopey 30's songs from the last game.

Is there anywhere with a list of the confirmed NEW enemies we've seen from the leaks so far? Off the top of my head I'm aware of:

Mirelurks having a big visual overhaul that differentiates them from previous games.
Synths
Gunships

Anything else we haven't seen in Fallout before?

Bloodbugs (giant mosquitos that can evolve into stronger forms during a fight)

They said it has three times the amount of music as Fallout 3. The soundtrack from 3 plus new stuff, including the classical station that one terrible streamer plays.

Yeah she did. I think they're only essential when travelling with you or after they become a proper companion.

I don't think I've used a VPN for unlocking on steam before. Do I need to be connected all the time when it is decrypting the files only or do I have to be connected until the game launches in my timezone?

You have to either keep being connected to the VPN until the "real" release time, or you can put Steam in offline mode after decrypting and launching the game once. The latter might interfere with achievements, though.

Publishers are so terrified of leaks, because with an embargo they can control opinion before it affects their bottom line. These streams show the game without the for pay 9/10 reviews. I wish these streamers would try to show everything.

They just used the skills from fallout 3 for the bobblehead names. The repair bobblehead in fallout 4 just increases fusion core duration by 10%. I can't find the image I linked earlier about what each one does.

Oooh okay.

I just know there's going to be a moment where I stumble into a goddamn fort and get wrecked, only to return later with a full core and lots of flamer fuel.
