FO4: Codsworth bitched me out for being indecent after I took all my clothes off. I passed a security check by telling a robot to go gently caress himself.

You can cram an entire wrecked house into your pockets in Fallout 4. Why did they put the Sims into Fallout? It sucked me in enough already. Whoever thought that one up is an evil genius.

One of the questlines in Fallout 4 has you dress as an old tv/radio show superhero called The Silver Shroud and go fight crime with his Silver Shooter tommygun. While talking to people as part of those quests, it gives you a dialogue option to talk as The Silver Shroud with impromptu hammy dialogue and deep voice.  It starts near Goodneighbour, if you want to find it.

Cleretic posted:That name list is the most Bethesda feature I've ever seen. It's ridiculously robust, with even choices as esoteric as 'Markipoo', 'Bogdanove' and 'Nourmohammadi' considered and voiced... but tough luck if your name is 'Janet', 'Brett' or 'Alicia', or if you use an unconsidered alternate spelling like 'Ashleigh' or 'Madeline'. I wish you could take a first and a last name from the list, so Seth Rollins can take the wastelands by storm.

They should have just gotten one of those robotic voices that pronounces everything like for telemarketing things. So that 'Meow Kill McMurdercat' would be properly addressed.

In Trine 3 you can test out your controls in the main menu's Settings options in a cute way. When you choose a specific character's control settings, he or she will appear in a puff of smoke and you can jump and run around as you rebind your keys and buttons. This made it very easy to test an effective set of key binds for a rapid Charge -> Shield Glide -> Stomp combination for example.

Similarly, I like games that don't have a set inversion for controllers but have a tutorial that says "okay, look up" without telling you whether forward or backward on the stick is "up" and sets your inversion to that setting since its what feels natural to the player. I can't think of one off the top of my head, but I know I played one or two that way.

MGSV does it too, in the guise of the doctor checking that you can move your head properly. It’s never pointed out that this has any effect so it took people talking about the aiming to realise it was different lol

I think Portal 2 might, like MSGV does. How'd you do in hypersleep? Look up. Jump. And so on. I don't know how much of it translated to mapped buttons (I haven't played it myself), but it would make sense if it did.)

The best solution for that was on the Xbox 360, where you could set system-wide preferences for inversion and a few other options and games would pick up on them automatically.

Alan Wake did it as well. I really liked that game, finding the pages that would tell you future plot points, but not when they would happen was good for tension.

I'm honestly surprised that steam didn't copy this. I miss being able to just start a game without having to remember to go to the options first and turn on subtitles.

I've been playing Morrowind again, which has characters outside of major cities that offer fast travel. One of them stands on a dock, and I found out that you can talk to him through the gaps in the wooden dock from underneath, so I did. I was really shocked when there was special dialogue akin to "Huh? Who's talking to me?"

It causes problems when you try to talk to people through cell doors and (as a modder) when I want to make dialogue start automatically and the player is standing slightly off to the left,or invisible, or so many other things

Been playing Mad Max a lot lately, and scavenging for supplies often reveals a ton of subtle backstory because the world feels really lived-in. The loot points aren't even on the map until you collect several special parts to have your home base build a device that detects them, so some can be easy to miss. People in these camps usually attack you, or the place is vacant. I just found one in a remote region near the very edge of the map where you have to spiral up a big rock formation and squeeze in between a couple hard to spot crevices to get there. Finally when you get to the top there are two mattresses, a bunch of hearts painted on the wall, and two skeletons embracing on one of the mattresses. It's a really rare moment of sweetness in such a violent world.

I feel really stupid for how great I think this is, but here's something about Fallout 4 that knocked my socks off... Not story spoilers, but it's such a rad(har har) moment that I want more people to find it organically like I did. Naturally with any kind of open world game there's borders surrounding the play area. As soon as I started I naturally tried going "off map" and hit an invisible wall. Fair enough, whatever... Cut to x amount of hours later and I'm stomping around the South-West area of the map, a toxic wasteground where the bomb hit and right in the very corner is a point of interest, the impact crater. Only, the thing is, when I get there I see other pointers on my HUD telling me there's other things to explore... And they're off map! It took the usual convention for open world games and just flipped them. Here I was exploring further than I thought possible and it was thrilling. Just a little thing, but so unexpected and out of left field. Drunken Baker has a new favorite as of 11:36 on Nov 13, 2015 |

Early-mid Fallout 4 main quest spoilers (I think anyway, haven't completed the MQ yet): There is a sequence where you dig through a dead man's memories using a VR machine, one of the memories features your player character. FO4 has a few vendors that let you change your appearance and since I had changed my character's looks since that sequence I was presently surprised that the game remembered what I looked like at the time.
