I had a lot of fun playing Fallout, too. New Vegas at least. Its just incredible to me that they are still using the Gamebryo engine and all the animations, models, and assets that they've had in the engine since oblivion.

the casting documents leaked (which seem to be accurate) called for both male/female VAs for the main character too

Character customization is literally the cornerstone of the genre. Let's not go into full meltdown mode, please.

Was President Eden always a Liverpool fan or is that a mod?

edit: Has anyone done a Scouse mod where everyone nicks everything that isn't nailed down and everyone has a perm and a muzzy?

Only got an 84 on the critic site. We learnt from our mistakes, see? It's a story about Liam Neeson trying to save his kid, people love that, right? Now s'cuse me, gotta put the squeeze on some goombahs." *lights a cigar with a 50 dollar note*

I have some friends that were excited about the trailer, and, in order to hype themselves for Fallout 4, are playing New Vegas.

I just started playing it for the first time and think I prefer 3 more as is, so far. Mostly because I think goodsprings and the surrounding desert isnt as interesting as fallout 3s intro but also because I think its weird that before even leaving the doctors shack you already have four sets of full condition armor and like ten weapons.

I'm playing through Fallout 3 and it's super weird. I'm enjoying it but I never finished the game and I don't remember any of it since I haven't touched it since it came out.

I'm not big on the percentages thing that they do, I much prefer passing a speech check or whatever if you have the proper points or whatever.

So I just compared the fallout 3 and Skyrim dev teams:

The Director, Production Director, Animator, and Audio Director are the same people, Todd Howard, Ashely Cheng, Josh Jones, and Mark Lambert respectively.

However, not everything is the same: technical Director of 3, Guy Carver, becomes the Lead Programmer of Skyrim. The lead Writer and Artist change completely, from Emil Pagliarulo and Istvan Pely to Bruce Nesmith and Matthew Carofano.

So, does anyone know who is actually making Fallout 4? I understand these AAA games are made in modules and then fitted together later, so the writing in these games is always all over the place - different quests by different guys, certain guilds/groups of quests have better writing, etc.

Exactly. And you should be among the things that also die easier. Barring power armor, if I shoot something in the skull with a .50 cal, it should die, end of discussion.

I've always found the thing about FO3 vs. NV to be interesting. I honestly found them to be pretty much the same level of quality and fun (though I have sunk far more hours into New Vegas because of all the endings). But virtually everyone else I know has strong feelings towards one or the other.

I feel like I'm some kind of weirdo for enjoying both games.

Actually a mix of A Boy and His Dog and Mad Max, so both American and Australian as gently caress.

With all the hubub about the textures in the trailer, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the console versions being shown but the PC version will have a free HD texture pack DLC at launch or near launch, like Skyrim did. I mean it won't fix the lovely Bethesda animations but maybe it'd make the dog look like it has actual fur instead of it looking like someone painted over a furless dog to give it the illusion of having fur.

For all my dislike of Fallout 3, Rivet City was one of those locations that just looks loving cool (that concept art was really nice) and is a pretty neat idea overall. Alas, the content within isn't anything to write home about.

ymgve posted:

The quality of individual animations isn't limited by the engine, but the quality of blended animations definitely is. It's also a world of difference between pre-canned animations like Bethesda's engine uses and the dynamic skeletal systems used in for example GTAV.

So who is going to be the big name Celebrity voice in this one that eats up their entire voice acting budget so we get to hear the same 4 interns voice ever other single character?

Witcher 3 has retroactively made all Bethesda games bad.

They used to be good, but in a post Witcher 3 world they are bad.

I mean they could have just not brought it up at all if you sent a companion in with Broken Steel. It's like, one check, and then you DON'T have a line. You don't need to pay a man to NOT speak!

is it not enough? i mean its really loving dumb

Sentinel posted:

Pretty much this.
I'm still just ecstatic getting a fourth.

They've definitely had time to learn a lot since 3 and make things a little more improved.
Bethesda is one of the few game companies i have legitimate faith in.
Sperglords can pre-poo poo on it all they want but this games going to be a blast.

edit: Does anyone else buy mexican cokes with real sugar and drink them when playing fallout every time you get a nuka cola in game? or is this just me?
