Also a lil excited but wary for this game. Whoo boy, that dialogue wheel is scary. Looks terrible.

Looks perfectly fine. If it's scary you shouldn't play the game because there will be scary ghouls in the game and I don't want you making GBS threads yourself when they show up.

Gotta say, I dig the fact that armor is now layered, so you can put your armor over stuff like a business suit or a baseball uniform. Some stuff may have taken a step back but this is good.

That was a feature I missed from games like Morrowind and Saint's Row 2. I miss my battlepriest with decorative robe over his armor and tough gangster who crossdresses underneath his thug attire, respectively (I think).

We get our first non-leak view of the loot system.

It's a UI menu that comes up when you hover over something with loot. There's three dots at the bottom, presumably showing you there are more items. There's also a transfer button that looks like it opens up the regular menu.

Surprise!

Might be what the transfer button is (as in transfer all to inventory).

now that's performance

I hope it's a little more diverse than

* +20% damage with $WEAPON
** +40% damage with $WEAPON
*** +60% damage with $WEAPON
**** +80% damage with $WEAPON
***** +100% damage with $WEAPON + interesting effect

Especially since it looks like the max level perks need you to be level 40+.

So I guess the cool stuff really is tied to grinding or hacking your way to maximum perks. Also I assume you can't exactly Join the Institute, The Railroad and The Brotherhood in one play through unless Todd's doing his own variation of Wild Card with a John Yojimbo Fallout route.

From what little we've seen it also looks like the various mods affect fire rate, clip capacity and weapon accuracy. With a baseball bat, or other similar melee weapons, there's not a whole lot you can change except for damage. Maybe swing speed or chance to hit but we haven't seen if those are even factors in the game let alone how they work.

I don't know if you even still need to worry about repairing equipment.

At least there's nothing as stupid and tedious as 'beat the game once with each faction btw there are like 6' or 'heal 10,000 damage with food items' like New Vegas had. That last one was the only time in NV I ever bothered with the cooking system. Basically just sat underwater, nearly died from drowning, scarfed some gross wasteland meal, and repeated.

It all seems pretty reasonable at a glance. Only things that look like they might be annoying are raising ~friendship~ levels with companions and maxing out settlement buddies. Legend of the Wastes will probably be a grind until the DLC comes out.

Bethesda isn't really known for adding bullshit achievements. Just dull ones. E: I'm actually surprised they didn't add a bunch for beating/getting a high score in their Pipboy totally original video games.

E: vvv There's basically no way to get it legitimately unless you start cooking at the very beginning of a playthrough and then exclusively heal through the food. Even cooked, it gives way less HP back than it probably should, given the effort to use it over standard healing methods. And in the middle of a firefight's not exactly the best time to use it.

This is essential for a proper cowboy run and you are essentially a giant pussy for not playing that way.

I wish it was heal 200,000 damage with food items achievement instead.
