Everything in Fallout games looks like post World War 2 Berlin, not a nuked city since an almost completely flattened city is boring.

All I really care about is if they have iron sights and if I finally get to have a car to ride around the wasteland like in Fallout 2.

Oh by an 8 year old engine for a game that will be released in 2015 on last gen consoles. Yipee. You've really hit it out of the park this time, Bethesda. Whoo-hoo.

I preferred 3's setting to New Vegas. Everything in the Capital Wasteland felt like it was in a state of flux, with people huddled into poisoned, bombed-out towns and rotting, mirelurk-infested aircraft carriers because those places only might kill you when what's outside definitely will. New Vegas by comparison just felt a little bit too settled and safe. Nonchalantly wandering off into the hills to shoot varmints should be a death sentence, not a training mission. I know that some level of normality should have resumed ~200 years after the bombs, but that doesn't mean it makes for a better game.

I want to get excited, I was pretty excited, up until I slowly started to realize that adding voice-acting to the main character is not only going to put some severe restraints on modding, it will absolutely kill the level of roleplaying possible in a narrative. At least for a game of this type, that seems to be a real killer. Also what the gently caress happened to the dog. Did they forget to turn on the effects? He looks flatter than the COD dog.

If you wander up north of Goodsprings it IS a death sentence. In Fallout 3 you'd just meet a level scaled super mutant that can be killed by grazing it with a .22 pistol

You run into deathclaws much sooner in New Vegas than you do 3. You can also go the wrong direction and get wrecked by the strongest enemy in any of the newer games (gently caress cazadores).

A deathclaw randomly spawned in front of the Super Duper Mart when I was only at level 2. It was terrifying.

I really liked The Pitt and the Zion Park DLC areas in F3 and NV respectively but aside from that most of the landscape was forgettable samesy trash in both games. Can't imagine F4 will be that interesting of a setting, maybe there will be opportunities to get on a boat and go somewhere that is not Massachusetts (aka not boring as gently caress) at some point.

NO gently caress YOU DAD posted:True, that was a bad example, I just remember 3's wasteland feeling a lot more dangerous and unpredictable than NV's, and that being the reason 3 hooked me for multiple playthroughs while I played through NV maybe twice. Bizarre because it's really the opposite. I mean the fact that FO3 is good for probably one playthrough when I went through NV four times (since my computer had to be reformatted or replaced between DLCs so I had to replay to get to them). It's not just the setting, New Vegas is better in every other way as well.

Well, more people own Fallout: New Vegas than Fallout 3 judging from sales and Steam data, so I think they should at least try and take some cues from it.

Dead Money was pretty bad. I mean, atmospheric-wise it was great, but the mechanics it introduced were just not-fun. At least it didn't kill my playthrough like goddamned Mothership Zeta. THAT turned into an interminable slog.
