I have to admit I'm mildly annoyed to find out that this will be yet another game where I have to do some mental gymnastics to explain to myself why I'm rooting around in some decrepit warehouse instead of doing the Super Important Thing.

The Shadowrun games (and possibly baldur's gate 2) did this in a pretty interesting way: By doing the side missions you were actually raising funds to buy information about said Super Important Thing.

I wonder how actual goon parents feel about the save-your-son storyline. Actually, is that the point of the entire game? Or just some sort of plot device to hook you into something that is bigger than you, and the wasteland

The five minute span where my Amazon order page said "Arriving Wednesday by 8 pm" were the longest five minutes of my life. Not sure what happened but now it says its coming tomorrow. As far as the voiced name things go, it seems like its just Cosworth who says it, no other characters. http://www.polygon.com/2015/11/9/9695738/fallout-4-codsworth-name-list-video

Absolutely, it's my only real complaint at the moment. Full disclosure, I'm a huge RP nerd. I play these games by getting inside my character's head and doing what I think they'd do, not what I know to be the "correct" way of doing things. If the game has a sweeping narrative I find elegant ways to dip in and out of it where its convenient and do side content that I feel serves whatever ends I'm supposed to be pursuing in the main quest ( "I need to become stronger to kill Alduin", for example). In FO4, your son is missing and every second that ticks by with you not actively pursuing him is another second something terrible could be happening to him. If you give two shits about narrative flow but still want to enjoy side content, you're pretty much screwed. If you want to play a character who's generally content and wants to spend his or her days scrounging for junk and loving ghouls, you can't, because SHAUUUUUNNNN!! Your primary motivation as a player is already decided for you, so there's another layer of depth that you won't be able to decide for yourself. My only hope is that the kid dies or winds up being the big bad because he left the vault 20 years before you and became evil or something. I just can't do the parent thing again. It was hard enough in Red Dead Redemption.

I just bought this on the PS4 store because my computer is old can anyone tell me if I'm a loving idiot for this reason? I expect the game will be fun and good and less crash-prone than the PC version.

Deified Data posted:Absolutely, it's my only real complaint at the moment. A lot of modern (and probably a lot of older) games have a real problem with story pacing. It doesn't matter for most people who just run to the nearest living thing and kill it, but if you're trying to pay attention to the narrative it's pretty bad. I enjoy survival mods partly for this reason. Having to stop and take breaks from the action and explore towns/shelters a bit gives me more believable reason to work in some down time and see things I might not otherwise. I've been trying to avoid most info, but has if been confirmed if you can keep playing after the main storyline?

Which kind of has implications about how many ways the story can end, now that I think about it.

I cringe so hard when I hear people start to talk about silly names they totally encountered in real life because I know it's only a matter of time before someone flops out an urban legend classic like La-a or Orangelo or Shithead or whatever

Yea the more I think about this the more certain I am its going to be a major thorn in my side the entire time I play this game. My go-to stories in New Vegas were that the gunshot to the head gave me amnesia or that I had this Counte of Monte Cristo type plan that I had to enact before I could properly take my revenge. A son being kidnapped is a little more urgent than something like revenge, this may be tougher.

I was thinking about the kid, in particular. Logic dictates that you find your kid, take them somewhere safe and be there parent instead of continuing to roam the wastes, which is exactly what you'll be doing when you play past the "ending". It either means the kid gets removed somehow (hopefully) or the game treats the "emotional core" of the narrative like the gimmicks kids were in Skyrim and lets you leave them in your home unsupervised for months on end (probably).

Hey I always gave my kids knives. They could take care of themselves. igaf what my pretend kid is doing. I just want to shoot a super mutant in the balls with a toy car.

You take that kid, hand em a BB gun, and point at a rad roach. The game fades to black. The kid is 200 years old.

I mean to be fair you last saw the kid as a baby so you didn't really have much time to get attached to it, right? You could play it like Liam Neeson FO3 dad and just sort of do your own thing. Kid'll be fine, there's more important things to handle out in the wastes. Dandywalken posted:You take that kid, hand em a BB gun, and point at a rad roach. The game fades to black.

What does that list of names do? Are they the names that get spoken by characters you speak to? I heard that was a thing. I picked a name from that list and no one has said it yet so far.

I kind of wish they'd make a game where you could put male voices on female character, or vice versa. I want to make a science lady and call her Dr Girlfriend.

Turns out I wasn't paying attention because (very minor early spoiler) Codsworth says it right at the beginning. I'm not an RP kind of person but I do miss just being able to make up my own character's reactions and motivations.
