a storm is coming...

I will be playing on one level above Normal because anything lower than that would probably crumble under the face of my minmaxing autism.

EDIT: By the way, some people here have gotten review copies, right? At what time exactly does the embargo lift on Monday? Because it would be loving funny if it lifted after the game was released in NZ.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

I think I'll stick with Normal and just wear whatever I want regardless of its defensive values. That made several encounters pretty hard in New Vegas if I didn't take an elephant suppository full of Med-X.

Review embargo might expire at exactly November 9th 1201 hours. I know at least one streamer who got express permission to start then.

So I haven't followed any news on this game so far and took a look at the stream. With the dog and all, is there any word on how/if stealthy gameplay is going to work?

Based purely on streams I'm canceling my preorder. Apparently you can't heal and the game features a constant soundtrack of children yelling.

not in his defense, he's level 27 and hasn't invested a point into any of the gun damage skills, and has left behind good armor.

e: also if you're spoiler averse I recommend tuning out because hes rushing the ending.

I think that ending might have been dumber than the fallout 3 ending. It definitely was somehow less complete.

Goblin babies did nothing wrong.


Did anybody see the specs when they ran it on the lowest setting?

I'm asking because I've got a 2.8 GHz i5 processor and 8gb of RAM, but I've only got an integrated graphics card so I want to be drat sure I can run it before I drop $90 AUS on a game.

Will I be able to run fallout 4 on that is what I'm asking.

Okay so, ending spoilers.


So the streamer sided with the minutemen; this ending involved him nuking the institute (and Boston). Once you do that, it goes into a cutscene narrated by your dude talking about how sad he is about how the world has changed, but he's optimistic about the future. There are some cuts between current and past Boston, and it ends with a 'war, war never changes'. It then fades back to the game post explosion and assumedly lets you gently caress around. The monologue is about forty-five seconds to a minute long. It doesn't mention anything you did or any of the people you interacted with.

I'm loving dumbfounded at how little effort went into it. It feels like less than the Fallout 3 ending. I'm just... :psyduck:

I'm cool with it, to me it shows they put their focus into content.

Screw the story, I wanna spelunk and get my power ranger on!

Edit: whoever is streaming now on hard mode is getting his rear end handed to him left and right. Seems to be a lot more roaming legendary mobs!

If you missed Lenny finishing the game, imagine playing Mothership Zeta with twice as many robots/android trash. You're welcome.

The big payoff is hey remember blowing up Megaton from the balcony? that was awesome right? let's do the same again followed by 40 seconds of crappy monologue before it kicks you back into the world.
I'm convinced this was produced by Bethsofts B-team and they're gonna wheel out the next Elder Scrolls sooner than later.

Treat it like christmas. Save the game for the weekend, and maybe you'll get an extra treat by waiting, in that they may release an emergency patch or two to stop female characters titties from flying all over the place, or have to remove a quest created by some overzealous writer who took the 50's setting too seriously and slipped in a quest about ghouls called "Separate But Equal (You Know What I Mean)".

That sounds like a reason to play ASAP and take the sick days, to me. Getting to see messed up poo poo in a Bethesda game is half the fun.

Always see everything.
Betheda games need to played ASAP, you can play the patched version anytime, but the Best Bugs Edition is a time limited release.
