<blockquote>When in the vault, you’ll obtain the wrist-mounted PipBoy computer that you’ll use throughout the game to do everything from checking your attributes to changing your gear.</blockquote>One can assume that first "you" refers to the character and the second to the player, and not some other combination.

I don't believe you're qualified to make that assertion, unless you have a masters in English and at least a minor in psychology. They were just yammering about the game. It wasn't a hearing. Stop trying to analyze them.

You don't have to assume anything. It's all written in the context. If the first you refers to the character, the second refers to...the character. It's not going to change my gear. I don't own a leather jacket or a gun. Though it did say "your attributes" and "your gear". If you're right on the yous, then I can't wait to get my own pipboy. I wonder if it will tie my shoes and keep my lunch cool too. I'm super excited to check my stats. I bet there's a couple of twos and a three...

All yous are refering to the character in the game and never to you, based largely on the incorporeal nature of the items in the game.

What?! Per was talking about RPG rules and mechanics, man!

I mean, the fact that shooting the fusion reactor in a car that looks like a Studebaker will cause a miniature nuclear explosion speaks volumes about the artists.

Quoted for Truth !

Um. You just wrote three paragraphs trying to put down a light-hearted remark on an amusing ambiguity in the article.

Why, that is funny. Do you often use your wristwatch to change pants?

I'm honestly puzzled as to why you chose that particular comment to rail at. Do you really think that either a) the PLAYER will be given a PipBoy or b) the CHARACTER will use the PipBoy interface to change socks?

i liked those sarcastic comments :>

well, it cant get more awful

Although some people wonder if it’s just going to be Oblivion with guns, we’re happy to report that the game also features plenty of over-the-top gore, profanity, and laugh-out-loud funny dialogue.

Oblivion with South Park?

Also, what?

You're welcome.

Well, anyway, it looks like some fruitful information was gleaned out of this. At least we know how many skills there may be.
