and that's without going into the ones with the heavier ENBS from the nexus

Some quick ones. FO4 has better human models, but the texture quality is in line with the Medium sized texture packs from the nexus.B

But I guess if you have 3 perception you won't be able to tell either way.....

The lighting is still way better in Fallout 4.

 

[Walpknut]

Not compared to the one in the Rudy ENB.


I am actually gonna try out the Rudy ENB, I usually don't mess with those as I like having good framerate but I can just uninstall it.

Hell, Skyrim has much better graphics and textures then what I've seen in FO4. I was not blown away with FO4's look. It looked a little too jarring. I know I'm nit picking but this is a game everyone said took 5 years to make and Skyrim, a game that came out 3 years ago, still looks better. WTF?

 

[Walpknut]

Well Bethesda has never been that good at the graphical quality, they did improve character models on Fallout 4 so after some modding and enb it would probably look Witcher 3 on Ultra level of good.

 

[The Prussian Kaiser]

I think the game looks great, and especially smooth; while still being "Fallout-y" in nature.

 

[Hardboiled Android]

Gameplay, story and dialogue complaints are all valid, but you guys are definitely being too nitpicky about the graphics. It has great lighting, and looks quite good

 

[Gnarles Bronson]

I was actually pretty impressed with this moment.

I think the terrain looks better than skyrim, and the plants look better than anything I've seen in any skyrim mod.

I would forgive Beth for that if I already didn't know that the story and dialogue are going to be god awful and rehashed. I get the feeling its going to beat Skyrim in terms of how bland the story, dialogue and characters are going to be. And unfortunately it looks like that modding will be limited for FO4 unlike with Skyrim, so there won't be much that modders will be allowed to improve and fix.

 

[Walpknut]

It's the creation engine, so modding will be as diverse as with Skyrim.

So a bunch armor bikini mods then?
Seriously though, the voiced protagonist thing is going to make it hard for quest modders. It is going to be interesting to see how modders are going to work around that.

 

[Walpknut]

Well Skyrim has the Frostfall, Hardcore needs and Phallanx Normals mod and of course SKYUI which are all rather amazing mods.

As well as Interesting NPC's which brings much needed life to Skyrim. And there is also Requiem, Wet and Cold and Climates of Tamriel.

 

[Gnarles Bronson]

I don't remember any interesting NPCs in skyrim.

it's a mod.

The mod Interesting NPC's made by kristakahasi, which adds more characters and quest that are far more interesting and engaging then vanilla Skyrim.

oh, bethesda

Fallout's trajectory to date continues to be a fascinating case study. It's basically become an off-key homage to the world of the originals at this point, a sort of infinite interactive fanfic generator. I'm always going to mourn the writing and the atmosphere we've lost, but I'd be lying if I said this wasn't something I was interested in. If this was an original IP instead of a Fallout game, I wouldn't be conflicted at all about jumping right on board the hype train.

Same here. If this was a new IP or spinoff I would be a little hype for it. However this is FO4 and Bethesda is sadly gutting a lot of what we loved from Fallout in an attempt to challenge and be like Bioware. That's not to say Bioware games aren't good but people like Fallout games because they weren't Bioware games. I wish developers would stop trying copy and rip each other off.

Like I said, high-texture mods follow on the heels of any release like mushrooms after the rain.. who knows maybe all those kids and you know something that Beth designers don't, or may be not.

Spoiler

Anyway I do love how Beth trailer seem down to earth without PR polish that many other companies used to market their games.
