Double Post only for the propouse of people seeing this new one listed:
Aparently there is a quest where they make you an interview. He says the 4 options given are very lacking in telling you what they are gonna make you say. He says he is definetly not happy with the way dialogue is now. He even says that you usually only get ONE inquiring dialogue option and the others are just accepting or declining quests. He even says Sometimes the dialogue cross with have both "No" and "Not Now" as options at the same time.
He also says the voice acting on the player character is bad, BUT that might be more from the Spanish dubbing, altho I doubt the english one will be any better judging from the footage we have seen.
He can no longer post any new images because Bethesda apparently contacted him.
Power Armor needs a "Energy core" to be able to use, but it doesn't seem to need any recharge of any kind. You can even go into buildings with it. Only drawbacks seem to be slower movement speed.
He says that he hasn't seen that much variety in armors, but he says they are all in pieces and they have "reinforcements" that come in Metal and Leather varieties.
The Luck Level 5 Perk is Dumb Luck, it works on a random chance to give you Triple ammount of EXP, the lower your intelligence the bigger the chance.
He says the story so far isn't that great, but he has mostly focused on side missions and explorations. He has complete 32 Quests so far
That's all for now.

The lightning effect on ... what seems to be his hand though? Maybe it's just me or nitpicking. But usually when something is glowing like that it has a temperature of 2000° celcius.

Question
Question
You mention that weapons don't get damaged, You mean you don't have to repair them constantly due to the condition like in Fallout 3? You can no longer repair weapons? It'd be a bummer, I loved repairing weapons that wore out
Thanks again, really
.Answer
No, you don't repair [weapons]. I honestly don't think it's about difficulty as there are many weapons you can find so it wouldn't be hard to go along repairing stuff. It might seem like a step to being a "casual" game but I don't see it that way and I don't miss it.
Question
Seeing that I loved Fallout 3, will I enjoy this one?
Answer
I think it's VERY hard for people who liked F3 to dislike this one, the essence is still the same, with the good and the bad, Bethesda games (with this I can understand people who preffer NV see some stuff as a step backwards in certain aspects)Great changes have been made in important elements such as progression and character improvement, and how the combat feels, and VATS aswell, Relevant stuff such as Settlements, the dialogue system and the crafting have been added, they all have their good and bad things with them, but so far, it's looking like a great game, the only things that I personally dislike is that the dialogue system is a bit dull, the settlements don't integrate well sometimes and the story can take quite a while to begin shaping up, it was easy that in a couple of hours you had 3 or 4 active quests, in this one, that didn't happen and I've found myself wandering without a destiny nor a clear objective during the first few hours, overall, it's looking like a very complete game (competente usually means competent, but in spanish it can be translated to several stuff, like well designed and very well thought out, not some stupid shallow thing).
If you enjoy Bethesda games, you already know that the quests are a bit " dull " with little narrative, backstory or justification (You get to a town and everyone wants your help, without doing much, you do 4 silly quests and you're the guild master of some faction) which, coming this wear from The Witcher 3 or New Vegas, can be a bit dull, if this isn't an issue, I think it's borderline impossible that this game doesn't fascinate the fans of Bethesda.
PS I remember the question about the voice acting, honestly, I ca't recall what actor does it (I tend to watch movie in VOSE[Idk what the fuck VOSE is]) but it's very well performed and it's borderline superb.
Question asked by user "eRiKaXPiReNCe"
"Are there ability trees? Does each type of gun have their own ability tree? i.e If I use a pistol, I could go for damage, rate of fire, reload, etc ?"
"Dinja70" responds:
"No, there are no ability trees dedicated to each type of weapon. Instead there are perks dedicated to weapons: 'extra damage with single-fire/semi-automatic weapons', 'extra damage with heavy weapons', 'extra damage with melee weapons', etc."
Gameplay
The Game has a contextual cover system. That's not to say that at any moment you press the buttons you hide in cover but if you're behind a car or column, at the press of a button you'll automatically peek from one side. There was an FPS that did that did the same but I can't remember it. (GTA?) It works fantastically well.

That's scary as hell [that people actually think link that]; 'It is no COD but...', as in it could be even better if it was...

I'm out for lunch. I'll be back in an hour to check for anything else new to report and translate.

Now at least we know what to expect with the years to come.

Settlements are optional they said, dialogue could work they said. When will people learn.

kostjamoscow: I think what they mean is that the game emphasizes mindlessly shooting things instead of actually thinking about stuff in the game, not that the improvement in the "gameplay" (that is the shooting part) is a bad thing. Call of Duty is pretty much known for mindlessly shooting things.

So NMA has plenty of ammo in it's belt to provide evidence for the further dumbing down of Elder Scrolls and Fallout. It is much easier to prove the RPG aspects have been diminished - for better or worse - when you have Bethesda fanboys saying just that. No doubt they will herald this as improvements. When Fallout 5 comes around with co-op that too will be hailed as God's gift to gaming.
Fallout went from 2 of the best isometric turn based RPG's ever, to a Tactical RPG that still resembled the originals, to a hack and slash atrocity, to a FPS RPG hybrid abomination. Now even the rabid fanbase that Bethesda inspires admit that the dialog in this RPG is atrocious to say the least. They not only gimped the character system they did that to everything else too finally putting the nail in the coffin on the RPG part of the series. The Power Armor being used like a vehicle really rubs me wrong.
I was hoping our reaction to Fallout 4 was excessive but I knew deep down it would be more of the same, probably worse and this proves just that. Borderlands and Mass Effect must have really inspired Bethesda. It's pretty sad actually. They outright steal ideas from two franchises that should not even be comparable. All the important parts of Fallout have been discarded and replaced with inferior game mechanics like the shitty dialog system that few people seem to like. I've heard fans argue that the dialog wheel will make the game more immersive. I spoke to a guy at Comicon who was hyped about Fallout 4 who said just that. Further going on to say the narrative would improve with these new systems in place. Others have acted like I am not a Fallout fan since I hate Bethesda.
So we have a Fallout Borderlands inspired FPS now. Straight up. No denying it. The dialog is little more than taking quests, romancing companions, and learning about a new derpy story about family or some shit. Am I to understand that Ron Perlman is for sure out? Honestly that is the last straw if so. I can still gain some enjoyment out of the game probably, but I know I will be taking notes every step of the way. This should be interesting. Now I feel the need to play Borderlands 2 to see how much of that is carrying over.

That's not it. The guy said that "it's no CoD." As if CoD had good shooter mechanics.

The ones complaining about FPS mechanics, "better" or not, are the same ones who believe Fallout should be turn based combat like the original games. I have no dog in that fight and will reserve judgement until I play the game. Hoping it works "better" for those of us that are Fallout 3 veterans.

Welp I pretty much have full confidence as well that this game is gonna be crap or maybe super mediocre with SOME good/funny moments. I don't know why this guy praised the perks so much honestly seeing as how this system does pretty much nothing new at all and just dumbs it down.
LostPony: Believe Fallout should be turn-based isometric. Okay? What's wrong with that? It's not the same as saying that isometric will always be superior and FPS simply cannot work under any circumstance.

Not really. That is another false argument by Bethesda fans that come here and know jack shit about what people here actually believe.

There's no way he meant that. I really hope that he meant it's not as BAD as CoD.
