This is just a hunch, but I think it's because they're actually advertisements for the upcoming video game Fallout 4 and not actual informational videos from a fictional universe. That being said, they really nailed the early 50's vibe in the videos and I've really enjoyed all of them so far.

My real takeaway from that trailer is that the dog clearly needs a tiny set of power armour. I wouldn't worry too much about the wasteland in that trailer, considering it's mostly live action, Bethesda seems to be pretty over the brown craze of a few years ago.

Gonna need a 'skulls of my enemies' mod where I can cover my power armour in bones.

short, but I liked it. the song made me smile, and the graphics look great. detail on his vault suit, the fur on the dog, and the lighting all jumped out as very impressive. it helps that i'm playing fo3 right now, so jumping to fo4 will be huge.

Maybe

but you know that was a live-action trailer with some CG, right? :v:

Maybe Fallout 4 will be a charming and fun game with sights to see and dogs to pet

I am almost sure it will have these things, and am super pumped to actually get my hands on the game. All the actual gameplay stuff they've shown makes it look like they ripped off the coolest mods from 3/NV and shoved them in the base game.

I am also afraid that potential responses will range from "Golly gee, I don't need a reward for this quest ma'am!" to "I will do this quest for money but to be clear I do not care about this one way or the other okay whatever" to "Avast, you'll be rewarding me with your money and your blood! Hahaha!"

To be fair I don't think the actual dialogue options that we've seen so far have indicated anything super worrying, but I have an uneasy feeling about 'HATE NEWSPAPER'.

Yeah, it's not great or anything but I have such a low bar coming from the loving Oblivion engine that I'm sure I'll be able to live with it.

There's a mod out there that replaces all the dead trees in Fo3 with gigantic living ones, it's actually pretty neat. When used with the mods that remove the green tinge in makes the Wasteland look like like the Earth is more or less plodding along alright, but people are still loving each other over.

They actually seem to have taken this approach with Fo4. I remember listening to one of the talks they gave and they mentioned that different parts of the world have different atmospheres. A lot of it is clean air blue sky and all that jazz, but apparently there's also a ground zero area that's more like Fo3.

The farms are on the other side of all those giant concrete trash heaps that block your progress. It keeps them secure from raiders. After harvest season they just huck the food over for folks to gather.

I can't believe you never picked up on that.

I thought people just farmed all of the pre-war food just sitting in vending machines :confused:

I don't really remember having a huge problem with the Capital Wasteland until I read The Road.

Bethesda's also pretty good at telling tiny stories with the clutter they place in the world. Last time I was playing Fallout 3 I found a motorcycle and duffel-bag at the top of a cliff, containing a Chinese pistol and a suicide note leaving it to a little brother. There was a skeleton at the bottom of the cliff :smith:

I'm making this up entirely on the spot, but I'm gonna go ahead and guess that there's one point in the main quest that introduces you to the settlement mechanic and makes you build a garage or something, and after that it's more or less optional.

It's also one of the new features I'm most excited for.

I think one of the SPECIAL videos (Endurance, maybe?) strongly hinted at that. I think it would fit pretty well with the city building stuff. Works with GET FOOD, too.

New Vegas was the first ever game where I woke up at 3AM to play it once it unlocked on Steam. Exploring the new world for the first time always kinda stuck with me, it's a really cool feeling. I'm kinda torn about Bethesda keeping a relatively tight lid on gameplay specifics, because on the one hand I'll get to go in fresh, but on the other I'm desperately craving a new Fallout fix however I can get it.

Have a poorly spelled and formatted info-dump from Reddit:

quote:

I've been reading a Spanish forum where an user claims to have play the game and reveals some info about it, I don't know if it's true but here it is. I'll try to translate it as best I can, don't be too hard please. SOURCE
English recap: The game, even tough not so revolutionary, it doesn't look like in the captures but better, it's not really a bad game. Joined together the game world looks better than great, and the illumination is one of the best I've seen. It is true that it suffered some framedrops but, there is also much more on screen.

- DIFFICULTY: Very easy, easy, normal, hard, very hard, SURVIVAL. They change damage, resistance of enemies and appearing rate of legendary enemies. Legendary enemies are harder and they have a chance of dropping a legendary item with unique characteristics like better critic chance or that refills AP when doing a critic.

- HUD color will be customizable by RGB sliders.

- Minigames for unlocking doors and terminals are exactly the same as in Fallout 3.

- About the size of the map, is hard to tell a size because it's quite small on the pip-boy but it doesn't seem small at all, there is a lot to find on it. Probably Skyrim's size more or less?

-COMBAT, WAY better. It is no COD but the FPS sensations are amazing, you notice every impact, the weapons recess, different characteristics between them etc makes it wonderful. There was a lot of place from Fallout 3 to improve so I was doubtful about what would they do, but you all can be calm about it. Also, enemy AI, without being super evolved or anything, it's way better. Enemies hide, get cover a lot, they go for you when you have little health or you're reloading (He's playing in hard mode). He says VATS it's completely not essential.

-Animations are flawless. People's faces, even tough there are some similar (particularly raiders) there are a lot, and way different ones from each other.

-He didn't like at all the dialogue system, and in 23 hours he's played almost no mission he was able to get out of just by dialogue. Although there was some "X person approved" like in Dragon Age/Mass Effect, there is no visible karma system, and that takes a lot of attractive to the diplomatic side of the game. He checked statics and he didn't see either nothing about reputations like in NV. He thinks it will probably work like in Skyrim and Oblivion.

-SETTLEMENTS: A very important pillar on the game. Some will love it, some will hate it. He thinks that, even tough he likes this kind of "microgestion"aspects from RPGS he thinks Fallout's it's a little bit harder and deep than he likes. They give sooo many options about it, and missions, and objectives that he think they take out weight from the rest of the game. ABOUT HOW THEY WORK: There are a ton lot of red workshop tables all over the world, some free and other ones occupied. Once you get to them (if the people occupying it are good people you'll have to do the typical mission to help them etc) you can do all that was seen on the demo, destroy everything, and build. You'll have to maintain the little, or bunch of humans on it with food, water, energy and beds. When they're attacked you'll receive a message and have the option to go help. It is very complete and you can invest a lot of hours making it really cute, have there your base with all your people etc, but he thinks it might be a little bit overexploited.

-WEAPONS: More about them, he has only seen like 12-15 base weapons yet, but he says that the weapons mods is crazy. Every weapon can easily have 25-30 different pieces that alter sadistics.

-LOADING TIMES: There are a lot of little houses that doesn't need a loading screen, but big buildings normally do. Loadings between buildings are normally really short, being fast travel loading longer.

-POWER ARMORS: Used almost like a vehicle. You get inside, you use it, you get out of it and it stays on that place. It gives them a more OP feel, but it is also way less "comfortable" to use.

-NARRATIVE: He says it starts a little bit weak, and it takes a little to get it up and running. In his almost a day of playing has only completed 4 because they're pretty long and full of things to do. Even tough, he thinks the way the story is going can be very interesting.

Emphasis mine, HATE DIALOGUE, etc.

Did I just have a stroke or did I actually read "Legendary weapons"

Here's the straight Spanish, it looks that way:

- Dificultades: Muy f�cil, f�cil, normal, dif�cil, muy dif�cil y supervivencia. Cambia que hacen m�s da�o y resisten m�s y, a su vez, hay m�s probabilidad de que haya enemigos legendarios. Estos son enemigos que tienen una estrella al lado del nombre y son mucho m�s duros que el resto de su tipo y tienen probabilidad de soltar items legendarios (igualmente, tienen una estrellita al lado del nombre) que tienen propiedades "�nicas" como, por ejemplo, un rifle l�ser con un 15% de probabilidad de cr�tico y que se rellenen los PA al hacer un cr�tico.

Yeah, according to the popup, you need a defense rating equal to your food and water rating to dissuade raiders. Who might still show up anyway! I like this.

You also need to actually assign people to guard posts to get any defense out of them, unlike turrets. I'm not sure the streamer understands that.
