Where'd That 6th Toe Come From?
And turning every companion into a naked anime girl.

I wish Sarah Wintreaub had a special ending ala Mrs Bishop if you "engaged".
It's an escapist fantasy, mostly.

Never has a game company made me want to slam my head into a brick wall like Bethesda has. Today was a wake up call I guess.

That's it, I'm out. No more. I didn't plan on buying this game anyways, but just hearing the details has made me lose that small speck of even considering playing it. I'm boycotting Fallout 4, who's with me?
... Why? You could try it in NV as well, even though you'd fail.

I don't have a problem with the actual flirting, but I know that Bethesda will fail us and make it poorly written. It just seems like they're pandering to the masses rather than actually creating something innovative and fun.

Well, yeah, I can see that happening, because they don't exactly have a great track record of writing good characters, but boycotting the game before seeing anything seems a bit harsh.

Fallout 4: The Casualization Continues. 2015 is the next big decline for the Fallout series. From now on 2015 shall be known as the year that all hope was lost.

tbh, the "sexual" and "flirty" PC voiced dialogues are probably going to be so hilariously bad that they will at least have entertainment value in the form of comedy.
I forsee some amazing memes in our future.

I seriously hope that this flops, I mean for fucks sake people can't be this stupid as to actually be k with all of this. If the Resident Evil fans could push back against 5 and 6 why can't we?

I would kill to see a shitload of 5 or 6 scores on major review sites. Dragon Age 2 was met with some negative reactions, right? 75 perks. No skills. Probably no traits.

We'd have to explain the difference between perks and traits to them to even have a hope of seeing those, and it didn't work so hot the first time.

True enough. It seems no one interviewing Todd Howard like asking questions you commonly ask about RPG's either. Like the story and RPG mechanics are too much to share. Critical hit meter is all you need to know about Fallout 4.

Traditonal romance is something that I can't see really happening in Fallout's setting without any background around it. Not saying that shouldn't be but IMO it wouldn't be so ordinary. Also Bethesda's romance would go somewhat along these lines
F/M/Dog/Robot Companion: I just live to survive. To fight the good fight.
PC: So your fight the good fight with your life?
F/M/Dog/Robot/Alien Companion: Something like that, yes.
PC: You don't need to fight it alone. I'm here with you know <3
F/M/Dog/Robot/Alien/Mutant/Ghoul: Oh! <3
It would be same for every companion, you wouldn't even bark to the dog to declare your love. Also the <3 would be done with they hands in the actual conversation. Even the dog and the robot would do.

The Mighty Bundle looks better than the Pipboy Edition at least. The history of Fallout is tempting, but knowing Bethesda...well it goes without saying.

Do game boycotts even ever work? The largest gaming boycott I've seen so far is the L4D2 one and even that failed (for different reasons though).

I don't imagine anybody will be joining me in doing so, I'm just personally refusing to play it or waste any money on it. Perhaps 'boycott' was the wrong choice of words?

I actually kind of like romance in RPGs, but they're best suited to traditionally heroic character arcs for the PC (which isn't necessarily Fallout, but Fo4 probably is), and they were done pretty badly in Skyrim.
You also have the sort of squicky issue where you model NPCs as "insert attention, receive romance" machines. Which at least Bioware has gotten better with, but I have no confidence Bethesda will get it right.

Agreed, if they're well done. The wives in Skyrim were too much like 'Stepford Wives.' At one point I swore I'd claw my eyes out if Ysolda said "Hello my love. Back from some adventure I'll bet!" to me one more time.....
While it didn't get very far, I have fond memories of the romance with Annah in Planescape: Torment. I only wish it was also available for Fall- From- Grace. Perhaps it stems from some teenage fantasy I had for fiendish women.
