I simply cannot believe these clowns expect me to believe that shooting something in the place where its brain is is a good idea. Who are they trying to fool?

Bulkiest Toaster posted:I agree anything that would make VATS more about choosing strategic options for different scenarios would be great. The old games are always about shooting the thing in the head in all circumstances. Only if everyone's called "Dickhead" or something, and you're actually shooting them in the nuts.

I suppose the main protagonist could be the baby you see at the beginning, but I think that's pretty unlikely. They've already done that once. Probably just gonna be what I said earlier.

Seriously, I think I spent more time running up and karate-chopping people in the nuts, or abruptly initiating a fight by snap-kicking somebody in the nuts, or gouging their eyes out, or gimping them and then beating them to death with a sledgehammer while they tried to escape.

SunAndSpring posted:I suppose the main protagonist could be the baby you see at the beginning, but I think that's pretty unlikely. They've already done that once. Probably just gonna be what I said earlier. The baby is forced to grow up alone in the Vault chamber because everyone else dies. It's raised by a group of Mr. Handy robots using nothing but various books and holodisks. Eventually the baby grows up into an awkward adult that's had no contact with other humans and is force to leave the vault to find parts to repair his surrogate robot family. Basically it'll be like the hit 90's film "Blast from the Past" starring Brenden Fraser.

Rabid Snake posted:I hope I'm getting trolled and this actually isn't a spoiler It's probably the premise. These were leaked to Kotaku in 2013 by someone at the studio that does Bethesda's voice recording:   There were other details in the leak, like the fact that at that point the game began in a cryogenic sleep tube. Compare the concept art dude with the voiced player-character in the trailer. The new skintight vault suit looks like his, down to the cables, the piping, and the ribbing on the sleeve. Look at how the trailer emphasizes the same community before and after the war. It seems pretty concrete. But hey, at least they were also looking to cast a new DJ, so Three Dog probably isn't back.

On rails if you stick to only doing the main quests to get to the ending but who does that in these kinds of games? I think I'm like 300 hours into Skyrim and I still haven't beaten the final quest, too many side things to do.

can't wait till you get to the obvious act 3 part of the main quest and it's like 45 minutes long compared to 2-3 hours for 1 and 4-6 for 2 basically someone needs to take bioware's plot blueprints and burn them

So I guess I'm not surprised he's crying in here about something too.

chibisoma was a contender, but i haven't seen a single post from him for mh4u where he complains that people who beat a quest must have been cheating, so i guess mr bibs is left by himself now. And i don't really get the issue with you not being able to make a million varied choices in the witcher games since you're playing a pre-built character with his own motivations and desires, not a largely blank slate like fallout.

Bulkiest Toaster posted:I am just really curious what they have done to revamp the gameplay of these games. If they are sticking with VATS have they done anything to make it more fun/strategic? Have they got rid of enemies that scale to your level like in Skyrim? Will the be a robust faction system that has a big impact of the game world? I expect them to have basically taken the neat changes in Skyrim and try to translate them. Bracketed level scaling being one of the easier ones to do, so a particular enemy type will scale within a certain level range. Also, probably a more elaborate perk tree instead of just picking from a big list, basically encouraging a bit more specialization than in earlier Fallouts or Elder Scrolls games, although Fallout has the capped point pool to do that already, so maybe they won't go that way. Compared to Oblivion and Fallout 3, Skyrim had a lot of small quality of life upgrades, too, so the graphics will obviously be better, and the better system hardware will probably let them make the game world pretty big or elaborate. Hell, using Blu-ray will probably just let them have a lot more variety in terms of different poo poo in the game, which is always good for open world stuff. I don't feel like Beth has ever really pushed graphics boundaries, so basically a Skyrim'd Fallout would be kind of my minimum expectation. With the reception that Skyrim and New Vegas got, you're probably right that they'll give factions a lot more weight than FO3.

As dumb as it sounds, I'll never forgive them if they take out SPECIAL. I don't mind a voiced protagonist, but it doesn't particularly bode well for the roleplaying aspect of this, you know, roleplaying game. Maybe it'll work out, but I ain't optimistic.
