The plot it seemed a bit convoluted, to be honest. And too much borrowing from FO1 and 2: another plot to save the world by destroying it/"purifying" it through means of a virus? Seriously? How many times is that going to happen? I think they took a most of the more promising elements and...

Mildly disappointed. I heard about these things called "super mutants" and had a very different idea of how they would look and behave. I was not impressed with their look, but was quickly impressed with their combat skills!

Before I had ever played a Fallout game, I had heard they had "super mutants" in them, and that's exactly what I imagined: huge, terrifying, ruthless humans. I was disappointed to find that they were basically a bunch of Hulk clones. The green color and drooling stupidity of many of them...

Many of my couriers wind up going with the Wild Card route, although for very different reasons, depending on the character: My altruistic idealists can't in good conscience support any of the factions, and so they wind up supporting an Independent Vegas, one without gods or masters. This type...

I'm sorry I missed that. I'm guessing it was from the early aughts, the golden era of in-browser Flash gaming?

This part would not be such a bad change - I've found the skill point progression to be a bit contrived, to be honest, even in the original games. That said, I'm not sure doing away with it altogether is a good idea. I would have rather seen a modest reform of how skill points are acquired and...

A Canticle for Leibowitz is badass, and so is your build.

I'd be a nonagenarian, which is a fancy way of saying old as hell.

Why couldn't these groups just make new guns and new bullets? Humans have used firearms of some sort for at least five centuries now; it seems unlikely to me that humanity as a whole would completely lose the knowledge of how to make powder and guns, and even if we did, there's no reason why we...

Why not Gannon? :P

Nothing says 80s scifi/fantasy like dwarves! Willow, Time Bandits, and of course, Beyond Thunderdome. Maybe it's politically incorrect to include them now, but even just having a few little NPCs in the background adds something to the setting that is lacking without them. I doubt we'll see the...

I'm not familiar with the comic series, but I thought that was hilarious. I have family in Bawstun, and I immediately thought of something like that comic when it was confirmed that FO4 will take place there.

I agree, there is definitely a strong 80s influence, especially in the aesthetics of the wasteland. This is seen most prominently in the many homages to The Road Warrior (I don't think there's a two sleeved suit of leather of armor to be found anywhere!), but I think even things like the design...

There's also a guy in a Baseball uniform in the lower left picture #5, along with a shop called "Diamond City Surplus", so I think it's a safe bet that Fenway Park becomes "Diamond City" or something similar.

That would be awesome. I always imagine him as some kind of wandering wasteland historian. I agree. Whether that means there's going to be some kind of armor modifying game mechanic, as others have suggested, or if it's just that "salvaged Power Armor" is available as a wearable item remains...

I agree with this. I don't buy into the whole concept of "dump stats" in games like NV, but typically I keep Endurance pretty low relative to other SPECIAL stats (unless I'm playing an Unarmed Build or a Low Intelligence Build). In terms of combat, I'd rather be a critical hit based glass cannon...

It's well established at this point that the effects of radiation in FO are based on 1950s pulp science fiction, not actual nuclear physics. If we're going to go down that route, than we'd have to agree that many of the basic locations and concepts established in FO1 also make no sense in terms...

But if the Courier convinces them to join the fight, then haven't they essentially gotten over the xenophobia? Short of a Vertibird (which are extremely rare) or a missile launcher, I'm not sure what could manage this, even at low altitude. Are you thinking a shot from an AMR or Gauss Rifle...

Let's get specific. There's an app for this: Nukemap This app lets you select a target area (with major metropolitan areas around the globe available as presets) and a precise yield in kilotons (with actual bombs available as presets). Make sure to select "casualties" and "radioactive fallout"...
