OAquinas posted:Really hoping this is just alpha graphics. With everything that's come out in the last half decade, gamebryo is just fugly. Not looking for a Witcher 3 level of quality, but some solid iteration on faces and figures would be nice to show after 5 years. Dogmeat looks straight out of FO3/NV. Nah, that's pretty much what we will get, since the game is probably a holiday 2015 release. (Also, "alpha" has completely lost its meaning after Ubisoft showed a video from their six months away Assassins Creed game and called it alpha footage)

Yesterday I played a bit of Fallout 3 and one jarring thing is that your running speed is sooo slow. I hope they introduce cars, or at least some way to sprint.

Zzulu posted:In my experience the engine usually doesn't limit animations for a game like this and like someone said, you can easily make your own, better, animations for both fallout and skyrim. It just seems to be a talent thing over at Bethesda. Maybe a bunch of veterans they can't replace or something The quality of individual animations isn't limited by the engine, but the quality of blended animations definitely is. It's also a world of difference between pre-canned animations like Bethesda's engine uses and the dynamic skeletal systems used in for example GTAV.

Mr. Fortitude posted:I'm curious, which things did you guys feel didn't work in New Vegas, without blaming the engine or Bethesda's QA work, just things that were entirely on Obsidian and Fallout 3 genuinely handled better?

Though Little Lamplight doesn't really make sense in the world, I think it was an interesting location. Which is bad news for people that want Fallout 4 to be a cohesive experience, since I recall some dev (earlier in this thread maybe?) talk about Fallout 4 being a "bag of candy sized experiences" or something. edit: here's the quote but it doesn't have a source: Cream-of-Plenty posted:Todd Howard recently described Fallout 4's intended gameplay as a "pinata of micro-experiences". double edit: was that all made up? I can't tell if it's a real quote or not ymgve fucked around with this message at 13:48 on Jun 11, 2015 |

Bottle caps doesn't really make sense either. They are big, the first person to reach a garbage dump site will become the richest person in the wasteland and/or destroy the market, and using actual US dollar bills would be simpler. (Though I don't know how well they hold up after 200 years)

The problem with crafting is that it has to be balanced against things you find while exploring. Exploration gets boring if you never get any items that are better than what you can craft, and if you make crafted items too weak, it becomes useless.

Yasser Arafatwa posted:yeah the smithing system in skyrim was pretty decent in some ways, but burying high tier ebony/glass/daedric/dragon stuff so far back that you need to game the system by banging out loads of jewelry/dwarven bows to actually access the perks sucked My ideal RPG would allow you to melt down rare/epic items you don't want and it could be used to give another weapon a permanent small increase. This way exploring is always rewarded, even if the stuff you find is worse than what you got. It also lets you play Fashion Souls/Fashion Elder Scrolls without crippling your character.

I'd be more worried that since everything else you summon disappears after a while, eating conjured food means you're in best case filling your stomach for a few minutes, worst case you will die after a certain time since a not insignificant part of your body's cells will suddenly disappear.

Bicyclops posted:I love that during that Todd Howard interview where they asked which mods he used, he said the ones with additional content and quests were the ones the teams liked, but that they didn't typically deal with ones that changed textures or graphics, which was obvious code for "We don't use the freakish nudie mods." I think it's more that he wants mods to do new things, and replacement textures are one of the most boring things a mod could do.

This problem will be solved because midway through the game you will turn out to be a robot and suddenly your voice changes to Stephen Hawking. Creation Kit will support voiced mods through text-to-speech.

I assume the whole "outside" will be without loading, basically like previous games except cities are now included in the world space. I also think smaller shacks and buildings will have no loading (and can possibly be scavenged for materials) but larger buildings, like the one shown here will require a load screen.

The dilemma in The Pitt becomes less grey when you think about it and realize these dudes are in no way equipped or skilled enough to research a genetic cure from a baby's mutation, and will probably kill it accidentally doing tests. Steal the baby is the right choice.

I'm pretty sure everyone has misunderstood and it's not "skills in line X requires your SPECIAL to be X". I assume that each point you can add in a specific skill is gated by increasing SPECIAL requirements, so taking Hacking 1 might require 4 INT but Hacking 2 might require 6 INT. Light Step is probably like 5 Agility and has one tier.

I'd say the GTA games are in a different open world category than standard RPGs. And the exploration aspect in MGSV outside the main strongholds is basically nonexistent.

I'm just saying lol if you think 'northern/viking fantasy setting' is some super unique thing. It ain't got poo poo on Morrowind and its mushroom cities. I just went with what Steam said the release date was on the store page you yourself linked. Now, can you list some viking RPGs predating Skyrim besides Viking: Battle for Asgard? Since apparently you have so many to pick from it shouldn't be hard.
