    Fallout 4 is not "Skyrim with guns."

    So far, the only time I have even considered buying this game was after watching people who don't know anything about Fallout play it incredibly poorly on twitch.tv and praise the game highly (only to not stream it again after a few times). Something competitive in me just screams when I see...

    My Own Theory About Why F4 Is The Way It Is

    Well they used to develop PC games for the PC, on a PC, so having a good mouse and keyboard UI was a focus. Now we get games made primarily for consoles (because the consoles are the limiting factor), ported to PC with the UI designed obviously to cater to a gamepad, and very poorly translated...

    If Fallout 4 had actual proper alternate endings.

    If they called the game Skyborderlands 4 or BorderRim 4 I wouldn't care if they mangled the crap out of the story and the images and symbols. Since they chose to make it Fallout 4, I do care, for the same reason I joined this site and post here. I actually care about Fallout being, well...

    My Own Theory About Why F4 Is The Way It Is

    Perhaps if you weren't obviously here for the purpose of trolling people in every part of this forum, people might react differently to you. Reap what you've sown bud.

    If Fallout 4 had actual proper alternate endings.

    Internal logical consistency of the game world DOES MATTER, and when it makes the game less fun (being confused by nonsense is not fun) there is a huge additional problem. In addition to just being a game money mechanic, Caps made sense in Fallout and tied the outlying communities in the...

    My Own Theory About Why F4 Is The Way It Is

    Some people in RPG games like to actually play DIFFERENT CHARACTER BUILDS. Carefully wrap your mind around that concept. I know it is shocking to some. PS: There is no reason the game needs to save the fact that I accidentally kicked empty tin can #123123 from point A to point B in passing...

    My Own Theory About Why F4 Is The Way It Is

    Yeah they really care about how much data they use.. Tell that to us when they don't have a system that makes humongous save game files and takes up many gigs of space just to retain the useless position data of every piece of junk in their gameworld. Or when they release a game on discs instead...

    If Fallout 4 had actual proper alternate endings.

    so many things wrong about that post... :crazy: 1: In a post apoc setting without any large settlements other than the Hub until well after the events of Fallout 2, what kind of large scale economy exists to not work with a gold or precious substance backed currency? They would indeed go back...

    My Own Theory About Why F4 Is The Way It Is

    It's hard to imagine that they can't manage to license a more capable and modern engine technology, when Zenimax literally owns iD software, the company made famous by their innovations in 3d game engines. I'd lean more toward laziness than cheapness when it comes to their reasons for still...

    Mr. House vs. The Institute - who wins? spoilers

    For supposedly smart people you'd think someone might have forseen that making the robots smarter and convincingly people shaped would be problematic. Maybe they might do a cost/benefit analysis, etc. The supposed Pros of synths, vs the Cons would tend to make them a poor choice of research...

    Mr. House vs. The Institute - who wins? spoilers

    They already had controllable robot helper monkeys everywhere, and from all of the in-game lore they were plenty useful and didn't need a lot of oversight as long as someone programmed them correctly. They ran forever, did their jobs and didn't THREATEN HUMANITY. They didn't need this AI...

    Mr. House vs. The Institute - who wins? spoilers

    the Sink personalities are not actually AI. They are akin to fairly limitted programmed personalities like Marvin from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. The y-17 trauma harness was actually a decent idea until it didn't work correctly. It seems like a pretty realistic tech in a world where...

    Fallout 4 is not "Skyrim with guns."

    You shouldn't bother responding to that guy. He's a pretty worthless troll, and only saying that to get attention. Notice that his material consists of regurgitating fanboy gambit #5 in a slightly vague form: "Bethesda couldn't make it isometric, stop crying because its an AWWSSUM FPS GAME...

    Plot Holes of Fallout 4 - Spoilers

    I'd rather we ran the guy through the wringer for pages and pages trying to defend his nonsensical claims than to outright insult him. One of them is the classier way to make him feel bad about himself. :mrgreen:

    Perhaps you implied it, like many other things that you will deny implying?

    Fallout 4 is not "Skyrim with guns."

    A game having been reviewed positively by any number of people, is not a feature.

    Plot Holes of Fallout 4 - Spoilers

    Your character not knowing something at the start of the game, and learning of it through dialogue would totally stink of character progression and we all know that Perks are plenty of character progression for everyone. No need for meaningful stats or skills or traits or dialogue.

    I bet he's implying that he agrees. Just watch, once it is mentioned, he will no longer agree and say that he was implying something completely opposed to this. :clap:

    Plot Holes of Fallout 4 - Spoilers

    Having varied forms of information in the game beyond terminals and little books is a great way to increase immersion, even moreso when they are all in agreement on things so you can find stuff out in multiple ways instead of just hack terminal X or read book Y. In the Witcher 3 for example, if...

    "Kid In The Fridge" Quest = the stupidest quest ever.

    Oh he wants us to assume based on vague implication now. You know, so he can continue his new routine of "I didn't imply that!" when someone responds to how stupid it is, and the trolling can just keep going on forever. Apparently people on the wiki and box art both provide higher quality...
