Cream-of-Plenty posted:My research is generally in the 75-90% range. I've done some "research" on this and there are more UK connections in Fallout 3. "in the 23rd century, Allistair Tenpenny left the country for the Capital Wasteland in the United States to seek wealth and fortune, hinting at some of the possible conditions in post-War Britain. The ancestors of Colin Moriarty also left Ireland for the Capital Wasteland shortly after the Great War for unknown reasons." re: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/United_Kingdom More specifically, "Allistair Tenpenny came to the Capital Wasteland from Great Britain to seek his fortune, so that alone tells you that the U.K. was also hit in the war. And if he came to U.S. to succeed, that says a lot about how screwed up Europe must be. So we just allude, a little bit, to the state of the rest of the world. We like to leave a lot to the players' imaginations, and somebody like Tenpenny serves as a catalyst for those thoughts." - Emil Pagliarulo Clearly Pagliarulo has spent some time thinking about the rest of the world.

So what kind of voice or accent are we going to have for the British Colonial Company's Radio station that several major villains will broadcast as the game unfolds?

Man Whore posted:well obviously the dastardly Englishmen offered the brotherhood some of their laser brown bess muskets if they would trample all the factions around Boston so that their troops need only fight the brotherhood rather than a confederation of Boston tribes. So whatever Redcoat force invades, New Monarchy that thinks they’re King Arthur, Super Insane Commonwealth Brotherhood of Steel and/or some cyberpunk Star Chamber complete with a nice Thatcher stand in (real or AI in a giant ACORN super computer) realize that the ruins of the US would be a relative smorgasbord of technology and weaponry to pilfer. She may not be as good as she was in the colonial days, but America still is the ruins of one of the two big super powers of the Old World. Collecting enough of her could help make sure the sun never sets on the Empire again, as well as finally settle an Old World grudge once and for all. Okay, yeah, this could be fun to happen. Particularly if its true that one of the biggest BoS airships is named Prydwen.

I'm pretty sure this will all end with us in a compound somewhere getting handed dixie cups full of monster brew by armed guards in mylar "vault suits" while Cream-of-Plenty's tinny voice raves about "emergent gameplay" over the PA.

Thousands of years later archaeologists find the remnants of a poorly-built cardboard set with traces of silver paint that resembles an ant colony and the only surviving recognizable remnant is a bronze statue of our lord and savior Todd Howard

Alain Post posted:Really, the idea of making a P+P-inspired RPG in a game system where you have no limitations on saving is almost inherently stupid, but I don't think anyone's going to be too much in support of "no saving in the wilderness", except me. FYI, "no saving in the wilderness" is the inherently stupid idea, as is the idea that save scumming is some kind of a design flaw when, for the four hundredth time, like fast travel, it is something that you can simply choose not do if you don't want to. People who are concerned that reloading saves ruins verisimilitude can only have this concern because they want everyone else to play the game the way that they play it.

I'd really like Bethesda to improve on New Vegas' low-INT run. Obviously voiced protagonist would make it harder, but in New Vegas it's really underwhelming - most of the NPCs don't really react all that different or different at all (people in the Power Plant, for example) , so it was a few funny lines here and there, but nothing major. I know that it'd be a massive undertaking to actually include the changes universally, though, so that's a pipe dream, mostly. I don't know how major the changes were in the previous Fallouts, though, maybe they were just as minor.

You couldn't do most of anything in Fallout 1, but Fallout 2 had alternative quest solutions and outcomes for at least half of the content for stupid characters.

I know it's probably a ghoul, but it doesn't look like a ghoul. It would be awesome if the redcoats were skinless androids from a historical amusement park/animatronic museum that went rogue and embraced their programming.

Oh well, one can hope for the best and expect the worst.

It's concept art, 90% of it means sweet gently caress all to what happens in the finished product. It's just things people draw up to start getting a feel for the setting and what they want to do with it. It'd be weird if they didn't have something like that, what with other landmarks of the Revolutionary War we have floating around the city. With that being said yeah, I could see them having a crazy raider of some sort that wears it because there's an anti-raider group calling themselves the Minutemen running about.

I hope the game world is substantially large, just lots of open space would be great in between everything for travel (future mods). 2x skyrim would be nice at least.

Fooz posted:Mr Todd says it's roughly one skyrim large. I think he said that it's Skyrim size in terms of borders, but has more playable worldspace due to Skyrim having a ton of mountains with limited ability to traverse them. High Hrothgar is basically a temple and some paths leading up to it, and other than that the mountain is mostly unplayable scenery. Boston doesn't really have a ton of mountains.

His answer was evasive, basically, and we'll have to wait until more information comes out to really confirm how big it is.

Maybe post-war Europe is more accepting, like with everything else, than America with the Ghoul thing and lets them in the Army and such. Or Bethesda could be going a more gruesome-looking super mutant route and that particular super mutant was in the middle of a Independence War reenactment or saw the clothes and took them from a store or something. I'm in favor of super mutants looking a bit more scary and skinless.
