Republican Vampire posted:Because it's a lazy way of giving the protagonist pathos and ignorance of the setting, but the necessarily brief glimpse we get of his life before the story proper starts undercuts our ability to care about what he's nominally lost. Give him amnesia I say.

Republican Vampire posted:The Courier doesn't have amnesia. He or she is just a totally blank slate who can be as ignorant or aware as the player wants. I don't want flashbacks/pre-war stuff either.

chitoryu12 posted:It's really easy, because the people working on it have years of experience with that engine. It's crap, but it's crap that they know. Also it lets them reuse assets if possible. That doesn't excuse the awful animations.

DesperateDan posted:And at the time of release, NMA was up in arms about it betraying the spirit of the first game. Moaning about video games, moaning about video games never changes. Tbf, FO2 did overdo it with the wacky references and diluted much of the original's atmosphere. I still prefer 2 at the end of the day, but 1 is a more even experience.

Republican Vampire posted:There's still supposedly some big announcement coming. Multiple journalists have gotten emails telling them about something codenamed Fallout 4.1 that's supposed to be disclosed pretty soon. Some people think it's gonna be more promo material, and some people think it's gonna be a non-numbered game or spinoff, but I really wouldn't be surprised if it were a Zenimax owned-and-operated platform for DLC and mods. Probably with payment options. That would be the dumbest thing in video game history

At the time I remember being skeptical of what a Bethesda Fallout would mean, but the early concept art teases had me hopeful we'd at least get some virtual post apoc eye candy. What we got was a bit of a let down.  The new trailer, again, isn't quite the jump I was hoping for or even expecting, but it does already feature some evocative vistas.  (though it's really this one shot that I particularly like)

Bohemian Nights posted:If you had a gun skill of 1 (out of 10) I wouldn't really mind if the weapon had mad sway that made it nearly impossible to aim accurately at range when you tried to aim down sights or something- but if you still miss when you're clearly aiming at your target, that's silly for the same reasons morrowinds approach was silly, with your weapon just passing harmlessly through your opponent. I could certainly see more of a gradient in weapon proficiency. Instead of just weapon sway, the further off from the requirement the worse the recoil, the sloppier and slower the reloads, the higher chance of jamming etc etc

Personal_Nirvana posted:I'm okay with the engine "jankiness" and the weird animation cicles we all love to hate in Bethesda games, but the thing i reeeeally would like to see out of FO4 is the V.A.T.S. system. I'd just like a semblance of strategy to the combat. Open world enemy AI is probably hard, but they can do much better. The fact that the game's reusing the crappy running animations - meaning no big overhaul, making new more complicated animations like jumping to cover less likely - doesn't fill me with hope.

Mr Cuddles posted:I love fallout games. All of them. I loved 3 and also new vegas. I love VATS. VATS is great fun. I'm going to play the gently caress out of fallout 4. I always thought you should be able to plant live explosives, but I never realized you actually could.

achillesforever6 posted:One of favorite surprises in NV was finding out that there was a fairly extensive sewer system with people from around the slums of New Vegas living down there. It was actually one of the least interesting, underdeveloped areas of the game, the Thorn notwithstanding.

The Westside exterior was so poorly designed. Along this massive barricade of condemned buildings and rubble, there are slightly different bits barricade that act as doors. Yes there are "entrance signs" (silhouette of a person in a yellow diamond shape), but if you don't realize their function they just look like trash stuck onto the barricade. The whole area is monotonous. Probably part of why so many people miss the Thorn on their first playthrough. I will be so happy to say goodbye to artificially boxed up communities in FO4. (please no/much less cell loading, Beth)

Prokhor Zakharov posted:Weren't the walls and gates and what-all just Obsidian trying desperately to cope with the limitations of the Gamebryo engine? Yeah, but I don't think they made the right compromises to meet those limitations in the case of Westside. Other settlements managed to be more interesting than a set of repeating walls of garbage. Westside looks like a place the player (i.e., the person playing, not the character) is supposed to ignore.

mackintosh posted:I remember playing it for the first time with Fawkes (the super mutant, immune to radiation) right there with me, and going "what the everliving gently caress", when I found out the game wanted me to commit suicide. I also remember my reaction being along the lines of Eric Cartman's "screw you guys, I'm going home" and rage quitting. I only went back to the main quest when they released Broken Steel, and I ended up nuking BoS out of spite. You can make Lyons press the button, no?

Speaking of Salvatore's, one thing I missed in the new generation of Fallout was the old world mystique of energy weapons. It's in service of gameplay balance, but being able to find laser weapons on any random fiend feels wrong. I also don't particularly like the ramshackle look of FO3's EWs.

PA skins are in CJacobs posted:Presumably the reason the player has so much is because it's a dev build for demonstration purposes and all that, and the player won't actually find that many or have that high a max carry capacity in the real game. Yeah but literally everything in the base building segment required materials. Optional stuff yada yada

Bholder posted:I fail to see a problem here The crafting and base building systems will probably encourage picking up every bit of junk - at least until you have a sizeable stockpile. I just feel game designers can funnel our obsessive predispositions in more interesting directions. Not that I have any great ideas myself.

Resistance types are back Bholder posted:It's not any different from what we had before, which was "pick up everything because you might need it for something" I don't know, it was quickly apparent what the real trash was before. And you weren't building and stocking bases or crafting basically every part of your gun with what was useful. Todd said it himself, every bit of junk now has a use (i.e., probably breaks down into one of the component types).
