Think about how dismal this game looks and then realize we haven't even seen the technical gently caress ups yet.

chitoryu12 posted:The Capital Wasteland is explicitly mostly populated by war survivors outside of Vaults. Megaton is directly stated to have been founded by the people not allowed into Vault 101 and is the second-largest community in the area after Rivet City. The Mojave probably is as well because of how little damage it took. Both areas only have one or two Vaults that actually released members into the wild in some way, rather than having their entire population killed by a Vault-Tec experiment or raiders. moving further east, the Mormons mostly came from a vault (specifically a vault where all the clothing machines were designed to fail after six months, in order to test how an extremely prudish and socially conservative society reacted to being forced to become a nudist colony, lol), but the tribes probably didn't. The Sorrows came from something called 'The School', and the Dead Horses came from a place called 'Rez', which is almost certainly the Navajo Reservation (its inhabitants just call it 'the rez' in real life, and the Dead Horses speak a Navajo-derived creole). We don't really know anything about the origins of the other tribes in the area, but the White Legs speak a creole language as well, and likely didn't come from a vault.

Wonder how they are going to address vendors, traders and caravans. They have always been massive parts of every Fallout game and with no NPCs...do players have the ability to become vendors? Where do I go to buy ammo and stimpacks?

The vault overlord will send you care packages for killstreaks and other combo chains.

Like other things, I don't know if it makes that much sense to use caps this soon after the War. When did Hub adopt the cap currency?

Otacon posted:Caps probably buy shack walls and billiards tables and turrets and poo poo Oh god you're right. Go back and look at the crafting video from the preview. It looks like there's a resource ticker each time they plant something but it looked like a universal currency rather than various junk cans

2house2fly posted:2090s according to Chris Avellone's Fallout Bible, but I don't believe there's anything about it in-game Only in the sense that if you needed something to work as a representative currency, they're available. The question of WHY they were settled on in the east was never considered; in the west it was because the Hub merchants used them and everyone needed to deal with the Hub anyway. I'm also just a little bitter because the other idea they considered for Fallout 1 (using old credit cards, with different colors being different denominations) would've worked REALLY well in first person, and had an additional ironic element that I appreciated.

2house2fly posted:There was a big bottling plant in the Capital Wasteland, so it makes sense that they'd be used there as currency, once there were enough settlements going to need currency, for the same reasons as in the west "You fail to grasp the concept, bottleCoin is an innovating new currency that is going to revolutionize how we do business in the Wasteland. So instead of trying to grow food or scavenge for weapons and materials, we should maximize our effort into producing something that have no inherent value on the basis that being a front runner will mean we be will the industrialist captains when the new paradigm takes hold. You also need to wear cinder blocks around your neck, because of Blockchains."

I'm really looking forward to the B.E.T.A. since it'll let players discover game breaking bugs, report them, and then Bethesda can turn around and still have those very same devestating bugs present on release

In other games betas are used for free bug testing. For Bethesda they are kind enough to use betas as extra gameplay.

Tim Whatley posted:Hey look Okay, so now that the first reactions are coming in they're going to slowly walk it back... Not going to complain as it's basically what I wanted (short of it being an actual, finished RPG). Still going to be a "when it's on sale" purchase. But now it sounds like if you do want to play alone you'll literally be alone. As in the only person still alive in West Virginia. Everyone else in the Vault booked it towards the coast as soon as that door opened.

Psychotic Weasel posted:But now it sounds like if you do want to play alone you'll literally be alone. As in the only person still alive in West Virginia. That actually sounds great, honestly. Just me and my Mothmen, because a Mothman companion is going to be one of the first mods created if Bethesda is foolish enough to not provide it in game. So, if you really can play alone, my interest in this just re-ignited. Still kind of sucks that it's always online (I'll be fine, but a lot of my friends live in areas with not so great internet connections, so I doubt they'll never get to play this despite loving Fallout), but I guess that unavoidable. Probably check this one out a year after launch, once private servers are a thing and the modding community has had time to build some neat poo poo to make the game fun/functional.
