Everything that's been 'leaked' so far that's been corroborated by the trailer has been stuff that people have been assuming was going to be in Fallout 4 since Fallout 3 came out.

Fair Bear Maiden posted:Uh, like the character design for the main character? That's something that people thought would be in Fallout 4 since Fallout 3 came out? Sorry, I should have specified, but when I put 'leaked' in quotes, I meant all the bullshit stuff, that's obviously fake outside of 'it's set in Boston!!! The Insititute!'

turboraton posted:Thanks for posting this man. So many people jerking off to NV, as they should, but they keep forgetting that your character had a backstory. Your character had a premise, like every RPG character does, and they used it in different ways to give you a wide variety of options to expand on you character as you wished. Fallout 3 doesn't do that and Fallout 4's premise doesn't lend itself to that.

chitoryu12 posted:How many dialogue choices do you get on average in New Vegas in each section where you make a choice? Not including "Tell me about these backstory topics", because even Mass Effect just let you switch to a new section of the dialogue wheel to ask about those. Actual times where you need to make a choice in the dialogue tree. I don't think anyone's going to count them out for you, because that's a bit silly, but there are situations that allow for more choices than this system does, inherently.

steinrokkan posted:PST is the one game everybody cites as a proof of old games being much deeper, and it still isn't very good as a work of fiction, interactive or not. At least by embracing a more cinematic and conventionally paced approach, RPGs have found a media form they can more comfortably inhabit. It's interesting that you would say that, but you're wrong.

Mokinokaro posted:PS4 supposedly has the huge framerate drop when using scopes (which we've only seen video of once, and it didn't happen on the PS4 streams I watched) and reportedly some slowdown indoors which I didn't witness either and some folks are saying doesn't exist. I saw the indoors stuff, it was pretty bad, and people have sai similar about the Xbox.

MisterBibs posted:It's not a distinction because it doesn't exist. Never in Fallout has your character been a shell to pour your own motivations into. You're always playing a defined character with plot-dictated motivations. The particulars on how you accomplish those motivations are different (and utterly immaterial since 'How you did it' never gets brought up) but you're still playing someone. You're wrong.

Zerilan posted:Game so far is managing to run on my PC. Time to have complete decision paralysis for awhile on how to spread out my starting stats. Any perks or stat benchmarks that are really important to reach early? (I also imagine there are some number of stat boosting bobbleheads and stuff again). Just put four in everything except Perception and one other stat. You can get two stay boosts, one to Perception, right out of the gate and it basically doesn't matter how you build your character at the start.

Tenzarin posted:Fallout 1: guy finding a water chip Those aren't complete backstories. Reason posted:But like, all you know is that your person lives with a spouse and has a kid. You can still make up in your head or whatever any of the other poo poo. Roleplaying games are meant to give you options within the game to act on the stuff you 'make up in your head'. And you know a lot more than just 'has a spouse, kid' as a result of the limited choices available to you in dialogue. You can choose wether you're angry you don't have the kid you love, or wether you're a bit more sad that you don't have the kid you love. Nothing in any of Bethesda, Obsidian or any other developer's Fallout games has been as constricting as Fallout 4 is with regards to your character, even mechanically.

Tenzarin posted:You can pretend you character was raped, is a sex slave, or any sexual preference you want. Nothing is stopping you. It's really weird that those are the examples you immediately go to, is everything okay at home? Nothing substantial in the game supports roleplaying either, you have a pre-defined character, who you can't examine, explore or expound upon through different choices or skills because what is there is incredibly limited and homogenized. This game isn't comparable in any roleplaying department to Fallout 1, 2 or 3, and is considerably lacking compared to each.

Failboattootoot posted:I hope this isn't a reference to the removal of skills, because skills were complete trash in fallout and are complete trash in every game they've been implemented in. From video games to tabletop, skills are the worst convention and I am glad they are dying off. However you feel about them, they were a way to represent and build your character and Bethesda didn't provide a meaningful alternative to fill that void.
