Blue was my favorite. I like to imagine it had a cooling, relaxing effect on the eyes. This helped during multiple hour gaming sessions, or at least I pretended it did.

Bang! You're dead.
I prefered the blue UI over the green as well. Much easier on the eyes.

Though yes, strictly speaking the monochromatic green display would've been more in keeping with the theme of Fallout.

Also why the gently caress is my phone suggesting 'Falloutverse' is a word?

I like blue or white because I like not having to strain my eyes looking at side information with the color scheme these games use

Looks like the physics/ragdolls/animations have been improved immensely.
The body actually falls the same direction as the bat is swung. I don't think that happened in Skyrim.

I'll probably turn off gore, I find exploding head disturbing for some reason. Nevermind all the other graphic violence.

And also lol at the giant icon that takes up a giant part of the screen when you proc the insta-kill perk.

I was thinking this was gonna be garbage too, but it actually doesn't look that bad in motion. I'm actually surprised it gives you feedback on your skills perks being used and the sound effect used is satisfying.

I don't know man, no supergore is gruesome in it's own right. Like, it's more realistic, but is that better? Would you rather a clobber a dude in the head and have his dome bust like a pinata and spray cartoonish amounts of blood around, or would you rather thwomp a guy and he falls to the ground motionless and you can just imagine he's taking shallow breaths and his eyes are rolling around while the concussion you gave him fills his brain-cage with blood

I guess it depends on if there's a gritty filter on the screen?

I don't want to overthink it quite like that, or do I... I mean, that was someone's face that got oblivirated. I imagine his or hers relatives coming to the morgue to identify the body, and all they get to see is bloody bits that used to be their loved ones head.
Maybe I should just stop playing games.

No, trust me, you have to push through those feelings. If you turn back now you'll regret having murdered all those pixel men for the rest of your short, gin soaked life. You have to own your murderous tendencies, accept who you are. Fighting the urges just means they are controlling you. Understand and accept those feelings and you regain control. And a man in control of himself feels no regret, no guilt, he does what needs to be done and sleeps soundly afterwards.

Motion blur looks great when the game is running at a solid, high framerate. It got a really bad rep from early games that used the effect while simultaneously running like poo poo so you'd have motion blur smeared on the screen for 1 extremely long frame and look bad. Newer games with better methods look great without dragging the performance through the mud too.

Add no ambient occlusion to that and I'll agree.

Depth of field and motion blur are great when used properly. If done correctly you don't even really notice them. Bloom is always awful though.

BEHOLD, SPOILERS.

lmao, Nuclear Family is totally you meeting your son after he somehow got out of the vault decades before you and now he's an old guy on his deathbed. I wonder if Bethesda wrote that before or after Interstellar did it.

Its true!

I can't wait to when everyone finds out the PC is just a robot and the character it's modeled after died in the vault with his family.

Actually if this is true, they copied the story of Snatcher by Hideo Kojima.

So there will be behemoth sized monsters. Lvl 50 max lvl, so 50 perks. Then a choice to blow something up. Join 3 factions and thier quests. Seems all boiler plate.

You know that just because the achievement is for a certain number of something, it doesn't mean that's the maximum amount of it, right? I seriously doubt the game will only have 10 sidequests, and they've already confirmed more than 5 companions. I think they also said there's infinite leveling.

Sounds about the number of side quests in fallout 3.
