I don't think I can be excited for this anymore... The atrocious graphics, wholesale gutting of RPG elements, incredibly stupid setting and insane inclusion of ridiculous things like base building just makes me sick, especially combined with how gameplay footage looks. I guess the shooting looks okay? I don't know how it is acceptable for an AAA game released in 2015 to have such poor quality... everything. With games like Witcher 3 already released, this game just looks awful in comparison. I guess they just waited too long to release it.

Is it true that you play a character who lived through the apocalypse and if so why are there already super mutants everywhere?

What do you mean? How different is it from before?

In FO1/2, energy weapons were late-game and thus plain better.

In NV, energy weapons only used three different, relatively common types of ammo, as opposed to high-end guns that used relatively rare ammo like .45-70, .50, 12.7, .45. Instead, they were more fragile. Lasers, plasma, and gauss/tesla also all had different stats and operated differently as weapons, beyond being generally upgrades.

FO4 makes the difference be what "type" you're using, so a *spits* laser musket is just like a pipe rifle, even making gun sounds. It's just whether you want gray, red, or green bullets. Merry Christmas.

Their games have actually become linearly worse since Morrowind which is a real accomplishment I guess.

Oblivion at least tried and had its charming moments, while Skyrim is so boring and soulless it's like dragging a concrete block through a swamp.

They're not identical. Enemies have different damage resistances to damage types now and different stats affect the different types of weapons. A radiation gun would be governed intelligence perks and do nothing to a ghoul for instance.

In Fallout 4, your character enters a Vault ( An installation designed to perform various experiments on mankind while the Earth recovers from the eponymous Fallout ) before the nuclear apocalypse. He or she is then cryogenically frozen until the time period of the game.

Oh okay. I saw some footage where he went into his Vault and then he was roaming the streets with dead bodies everywhere so I assumed that he just took a quick nap or something.

oblivion had a handful of ok quests but it looked and played like poo poo


skyrim had no good quests but it had atmosphere and mostly currentish gen graphics and better gameplay like yelling a guy off a mountain.

Oblivion is kinda garbage while Morrowind was cool because it was in a unique setting while Skyrim is way better than Oblivion as long as you don't spend your time doing any of the main quests. That's my hot take on this pressing issue.

What atmosphere is that? I'm genuinely curious how you think the game managed to have more "atmosphere" than Oblivion where you enter Hell and try to save the world from Satan.
