Given that observation, I just have to ask this - have you played Borderlands 2, and if so, how does this game compare to that one as a loot shooter with a few RPG elements? Honestly, from what I've seen, BL2 actually seems to be more of an "RPG" than Fallout 4.

Borderlands 2 was fun, a true shoot and loot game. If shoot and loot is what you want, get Borderlands 2. Hell, even the story in that game is leagues better than Fallout 4s.
 
Apparently
Mayor MacCready can be your follower now, though he's not a jackass anymore.
I guess that could be fun for everyone to kill him to get revenge on him for all that crap.
 
I tried killing both Codsworth and the Dog when I first found them. Not only did it take foerever to deplete all their health but they also went unconcious. So those people saying "They are only immortal while they are your companions, you can kill them when dismissed" are wrong again.

I've sunk my share of hours into BL2 - it just seems to me that Fallout 4 would be better compared to that than to anything actually resembling a true RPG, based on what I've seen. When I saw Fallout 4's new perk system, my first thought was that this looks a lot like BL/BL2. Except that once the perks were fully revealed, the Borderlands skill trees look much better thought out, and have much cooler stuff in them.

And yeah, it's a blast to play. The Tiny Tina DLC might just be my all time favorite out of any game I've played.
 
I guess what gives Border Lands a lot of quality is that it doesn't take it self or as game to serious. It knows what it is and what it isn't. I don't know anyone who has ever seen Border Lands as more than just your typical action-loot-hunting-game where you can have simply a lot of fun. Not to mention BL is BL, not based on some different game. Fallout 4 is ripping of BL while beeing build on an RPG, even though Fallout 1 and 2 have completely different principles them.

I've heard a rumor that they can die at the highest difficulty setting. Care to try it out? :)

Yea, I know, but Hard is just... Hard. There's still Very Hard and hardcore, right?
But as I said, it's just a rumor, I have no idea if it's true or not.

Borderlands 2 was a lot of fun; compared to everything I've seen of Fallout 4 thus far, it does accomplish the RPG aspect much more competently.
 
Borderlands 2 was stupid an annoying with it's jokes, but it's side quests were very well done compared to Fallout 4 because a lot of them were either connected to the time that happened right before Borderlands 2 or they were about Borderlands 1.

The way her neck moves and the mouth movement is hilarious. So "date" translates to having sex and she's basically a sex doll. Now it seems like they don't give a damn, I mean it was such a "hard" speech check to pass that she threw herself at him(I find it funny how it just says FLIRT).
 
Encountering repeated crashes as soon as I get to Diamond City and start doing quests. Might have to reload farther back or wait for a hotfix or something. Autosave might be an issue like previous games. Should turn it off since it has always been a problem. Oh Bethesda. Did a 10 hour marathon. Brief review after sleep. The dialog wheel wouldn't have limited the game so much if done slightly better. I have encountered speech checks usually for caps but also for more info quite a few times. Game is loot and crafting focused. Loot is much better in this game than many other recent RPG's. Honestly it is better than Wasteland 2 was in those regards but that ain't saying much folks. Shooting is okay but sluggish. I expect it would be better on PC but even then it would be worse than Borderlands for instance. It isn't any worse than Fallout 3 actually the story and lore seems to be a bit better despite it's downfalls. After I let go any notion that this would live up to New Vegas or the old games I began to enjoy the game more. Bugs are going to kill this game if I can't even get through Diamond City.
