FALLOUT 4 IS HERE

I totally forgot I made this thread lol,

Seeing as I am some of the few on this forum that loved Fallout 3 (its my favorite out of 1-3 and new vegas but fallout 1 being number 2 on my list)

regardless the trailer looks really cool and I am excited about exploring the Boston wasteland. It looks like the most colorful fallout to date too.
Also thoughts on the possibility of a voiced protagonist?

Speaking of which. I expect better melee combat like they did with Skyrim.

...better? Wasn't it just 'smash the mouse button until X falls over'? I mean I was hoping for some badass shit too, like limb crippling, or even removal of said limbs while in combat! Instead what I got is 'head popping' executions...ugh.

I'm pretty sure NV had superior melee combat, at least outside of VATS. Hit the torso? Torso crippled! Hit the head? Guy goes backwards, stunned a bit. Hit the weapon or arm? Disabled!

Ya know, i just realized I played Skyrim with a melee combat mod. I'm also mainly referring to the extra animations that Skyrim added for melee after release. Something like that.

Yeah, I have one thought on it.

A voiced protagonist would absolutely ruin the game.

I'm not as annoyed as some people are, I'm just worried about how it would be implemented. Might reduce the things you can say in dialogue. I also hope they don't go for the Mass Effect thing where they paraphrase what you're going to say. Another issue is tone of voice, you could say the same thing but it would sound very different depending on the tone you use and what words you emphasize.

I think Fallout 3 is a damn good game, I like it a lot but I have lot of problems with it. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging the problems with and criticizing a thing you like however. I think they can improve a lot on Fallout 3. Hope I'm not disappointed.

Shadow Over Innsmouth in Oblivion, Dunwich Horror in Fallout 3 and The Rats in The Walls in Skyrim. Wonder which (if any) Lovecraft story they'll reference in Fallout 4.

hmmm perhaps Horror at Redhook, or maybe Color out of Space themed quest ?
 
I was thinking The Whisperer in Darkness would be good to adapt into a Fallout quest. Fallout already has Brains in Jars and you could have some intelligent mutants take the place of the Mi-Go.
 
I'm willing to bet there is some form of Bostonian folk lore. I'm not too famaliar with lovecraft, so I wouldn't know.

Not even H.P. Lovecraft, can make Bethesda's Fallout-Doom 2(aka "Fallout 4") better!
 
Do you think Bethesda will add multiplayer to fallout 4? Would that be good for this game? I heard that they sued Interplay for making fallout online, maybe that happened because they were developing this feature themselves in fallout 4?
 
Multiplayer is a mixed bag for me. On one hand, I don't play Fallout to play with other people, I get enough of other people in things like Counter Strike, or Elite: Dangerous. Fallout is "me time." That said, there are a couple of people I would be okay with sharing said time with as well. Or just going through with them to see their reactions to things. But I feel I must err on the side of caution, and say no.
 
Man I'm such an old fart, everyone around me is all hyped about the trailer.
I'm not impressed.

My friend, who loved FO3, and who hated that I didn't love it, who also hates that i love FO2, emotionally, genuinely hates it, because it steals from the love I could have felt for FO3. When I then loved FONV, he didn't know what to do. He hated it, and he couldn't comprehend how I could like it.
He keeps sending me trailers of games full-packed with fast-paced action and explosions, and always tells me "this is what a REAL Fallout is about!"

He just sent me links to two clips of FO4 gameplay, one of which only showed shooting. Ratatata, ratatatata, ratatata and ratatata.
yawn.

And people kept woohoo-ing and applauding in the audience, for whatever trivial thing the presenter did, shoot a rat "WOO! YAAAH!!!" give the dog a command "WOOOH!!! YAAAAAHHH!!!", that kind of fandom gives me body-aches...

I mean, gimme my favorite-most game ever, and the best scene in that game, and I might go "Heh!" but not "YAAAAARRRHH!!!!" wtf are these people on?

Oh, and didya notice that all reading is gone?
Its simpler now!
Easyer!
Simpler and easyer!
Less difficult!
Less haaard!

Less difficult and hard, and more simpler and easyer!

Came to these forums for a post like this.
In E3 video they showed all kind of "cool" stuff. Witch is completely irrelevant to RPG game, what fallout used to be.
Nothing explained about RPG system. Maybe because there is nothing left of it... Where is dialogues, decision making and consequences? Where is skills and leveling in general?
Everybody sees a dog, pipboy minigame, building houses like in those survival multipayers, and goes "YAAAAARRRHH!!!!" this is all wee wanted for a fallout game!
The same story was with Skyrim. They introduced dragons and dual wielding axes, but scraped skill system altogether. Killed most important aspect of RPG game.
This is AAA gaming nowadays. Simple and easy.

I am still hoping that we are witnessing the trailer-syndrome, where they will only show actiony aspects, in the belief that this will be more successful advertising of a game (rather than show "the boring parts"), although I have a real fear that Beth reacted like all the FO3 fanboys to the progress done in FONV "Right, lame. You and your old-fart-nerd-fans had your fun. We're going back to post-apo themepark, and Matrix-inspired green hues."
