Fallout 4 coming out on November 10, free mobile spin-off out now

You mean you don't want to help R. Lee Ermey bring all of the filth of the wasteland under the glorious banner of the Brotherhood?

New Vegas and its DLC's had a lot of branching paths for the short dev time it had but you don't see them praising NV.

If you had the ego of Todd Howard, would you admit, or even acknowledge, a product that, despite being made in only 13 months, is vastly better and more improved than a game you spent years developing?
 
Guys don't be whining. Plenty of people praised FNV (and rightly so. Greatest game ever IMO). But we should just be grateful they've at least been thinking about giving us a storyline like NV.
 
Let's just hope this isn't just one of Howard's trademark lies. I mean his claim that they have been working on the game since 2008 is already a transparent lie (he has even changed the amount of years the Protagonist's voice recording supposedly took, from 2 to 3 to 4 in interviews, and other staff memebers tripping over their own words when saying things that would show that that supposed development time is bullshit). I mean we already have the claim that you will have 8 options for tone despite there only being 4 dialogue choices at a time on the cross....

I think Bethesda has an internal checklist. Any Fallout game must contain:

a) A vault
b) war never changes
c) someone from a vault
d) a death claw
e) dogmeat
f) radiation
g) BoS
h) a radscorpion
i) nuka-cola
j) bottle caps
k) mole rats

As long as they cram those things in there it's a Fallout game and they call it job done. Then they make long E3 presentations where they pretend to care about an original story and quality writing. :ugly:

I suspected it all along, nice detail on the seals.

That is good that they improved upon FO3 in this aspect as well, but I doubt that it will be substantially better.
 
They are now claiming that FO4will be 400 hours long.... like the 300 endings in 3, or the 300 Hour long main quest in SKyrim I am sure. Gonna bet they are putting their trademark "Radiant Quests" in this one too. Prepare youselves to get 25 Yogi pelts 30 times.

I'm just cynical and pessimistic due to Bethesda track record as of late. The quality of their writing has taken a sharp decline since after Morrowind. Who knows maybe they will prove me wrong. I would like to be proven wrong but from what I've seen so far I am not optimistic.

You're definitely right, Bethesda gives us little reason to hope... just take the glimmer where we can get them
