Four dialogue options, one per face button of the controller.

Oh yeah, thank god Bethesda owns Fallout. ...

Yall need to chill out about the dialogue system. For one we saw that there are still options blocked off by skill level, and two you dont know if there isn't some way to press the trigger for more options. Or maybe one dialogue option leads to a sub tree kind of like The Mass effect games everyone is comparing it to. We don't know enough yet.

I mean come on, I was a little cautious after the trailer but this looks amazing.

Quests are exclusive to Xbox One. PS4 and PC will only get exploration and crafting without story

Probably for the best.

Considering Bethesda's writing, that would not necessarily be a bad thing.

 

[Lemondish]

So many people who do not like Bethesda games seen to be posting here. That is odd.

 

[Lakitu]

I really like the new sculpting mechanic for customisation.

 

[backbreaker65]

crafting system reminds me of "StarHawk", other than that not really interested in this game.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

Just different priorities.

You'd think small things like writing and animation might be top of that list...

 

[aravuus]

You want full sentences so you can make an informed decision over what character is going to say? Yeah well fuck you, this is the future.

Maybe someone will mod them to show the real sentences your character will say... The short two or three word choices are a terrible choice, especially with writers as utterly mediocre as Bethesda's. I foresee a lot of reloading because the choice was simply not clear enough on how your character is going to react. It's happened in Mass Effects, it will happen here.

The Pip-Boy edition isn't on the UK Amazon yet so I'm having to import it from the US. I'll cancel the order when it does show on UK Amazon, I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss out.

GAME are tweeting its exclusive to them: https://twitter.com/GAMEdigital/status/610286731296944128?s=09

nah. people who dislike games always seem to have more to say ...

 

[_Clash_]

Settlement sounds insanely boring.

Crafting seems godlike

 

[Lakitu]

When Todd says that there are '50 weapon bases' for customisation, I hope that means there are more 'exotic' weapons scattered around the wasteland, rather than just using customisation.

 

[Faith]

Is the HUD intentionally looking like it's from the 90s?

 

[Tacitus_]

Crafting seems promising but that dialogue system :E

Oh well, someone will probably fix it with a mod.

 

[d0g_bear]

Did he mention the option of a female protagonist? A voiced one?

 

[Ensirius]

crafting video sold me, that looks legitimately great.

I came here to post this.
Day fucking one.

 

[Funky Papa]

Did he mention the option of a female protagonist?

Yes.

A voiced one?

No. But that should be the case.

I called that Beths would allow to pick one of the parents to be used as the main protagonist. No surprises here.

It's a Game exclusive apparently, so it won't show on UK Amazon at all.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Am I weird? I disliked New Vegas but liked Fallout 3. I also dislike every other Bethesda game pretty much (especially Skyrim). Pretty damn hyped for this though.

 

[UberLevi]

Did he mention the option of a female protagonist? A voiced one?

Yeah. Female and Male protagonist are married, the one you choose survives. Female protagonist had a few pieces of dialogue during the intro.

Not weird. You like Bethesda exploration/world building, but do not find the high fantasy settings in the elder scrolls games satisfying? Several people I know are like that, including my brother.

 

[Summer Haze]

Most likely a placeholder.

You're not the only one. But to be cool you have to prefer NV.

 

[psychotron]

I didn't realize just how much I missed Fallout. I got nostalgia feels like crazy watching those videos. The fact that it's coming this year....way to go Bethesda!!

 

[ramparter]

Yeah. Female and Male protagonist are married, the one you choose survives. Female protagonist had a few pieces of dialogue during the intro.

Who wanna bet you find eventually the other as the game proceeds, he is mutated and you have to kill him.

I do like those types of settings though I just thought skyrim was boring as fuck lol. I don't know. Felt like I was in twilight zone when that released.

Maybe Flalout 3 wins me over with the environment/humour/premise.

 

[RealityCheque]

Crafting looks brilliant.

I am excite and I will be playing as a laydee

 

[twobear]

i was actually screaming that he basically went out of his way to clock GAF haters. talking about the PBR, saying you can play as a woman. this looks so good.

 

[Vanpastel]

I will wait until they reveal more details about whether or not you can play as an LGBT character before I get hyped. If you're forced to play as a straight character I don't think this game will be for me.

 

[WickedCobra03]

I am excited, but on the other hand, it still seems like an HD-remake of Fallout 3. I guess just the clunky-ness of the motion, and I am not sure that all the dialogue will be as smooth as what we saw here.

Don't get me wrong, I am still excited, I just kind of hoped that next-gen would be crazy fresh.

 

[KorrZ]

This game looks fucking awesome. I had a huge smile across my face watching the trailer last night - this old time music is so good.

I could give 2 shits that the animations are still janky and that the character models still don't look the best. I play Bethesda games because no other developer has shown that they have the capability to create a world like this.

 

[Flakster99]

Enjoyed what I saw. Looking forward to it's story as well. Just another game I can't wait to play.

 

[Jito]

Have you played Fallout before? I've never come across any romancing quests/options in all my playtime in 3 and NV. Its not a Mass Effect game.

Edit: damn, I forgot Fisto.

 

[Lakitu]

I think he's referring to the other half either being a husband or wife depending on your gender.

 

[Staf]

I hope that is the case. But if something like that is enough to persuade you not to play the game at all i don't think it's a game for you period.

 

[aravuus]

You're not the only one. But to be cool you have to prefer NV.

Well, aren't you insecure about your preference

 

[SensibleSucker]

I have only played Fallout: New Vegas and was really bored after a 4/5 hours. I just felt that the world was too open with not enough to do. In the end I just wandered about for a bit, then stuck it back in the box.

The hype for this game is through the roof and I heard great things about Fallout 3, so could try this. However, was New Vegas a massive departure for the franchise? If not, I'll probably swerve Fallout 4 as it's probably not for me.

I'm all for role play in games but have little time for things like crafting. I'm currently enjoying Witcher 3 but have already smacked it down to easy so I can just enjoy the story without really needing to craft.

 

[Shake Appeal]

There were sexual encounters (and shotgun weddings) in Fallout games long before Bethesda got their tentacles on the license.

You weren't forced to be hetero in Skyrim.

 

[blame space]

I wanna fuck codsworth

 

[MrS]

Crafting looks ok but the trailer was very, very impressive to me. The game looks like tons of fun and I can't wait to get it day 1. Gonna play as the female because the voice acting sounded good. More sass please!

 

[BloodR0se]

Seriously, barring any massive surprises in the next 24 hours, how anybody couldn't think that this is the most interesting game of this year is completely beyond me.

It looks like it will be absolutely spectacular and is among the few games that could actually justify a $60 price tag.

 

[Rollo Lawson]

Damn, where do I begin...

 

[Watevaman]

I am so hoping this will either run on my current PC or that I have upgraded by the time it comes out. This is going to be amazing.

 

[Jito]

That's cool, but I clearly said 3 and NV so...? It's Bethesdas baby now.

 

[Sticky&Sweet]

F4 looks incredible, I'm very impressed.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Yeah, I look forward to buying a complete edition for $7 in a Steam Sale three years for now.

 

[Steejee]

If nothing else it definitely said 'Bethesda' to me, which is a good and bad thing. Graphics not mindblowing but that's not a real knock against it, dialogue was urg, animation jank was straight out of FO3. Crafting system looks cool, but for me the big hurdle with crafting systems is just that I never find them fun enough to put any time into. So if they can make the crafting system fun enough in itself that I would be willing to spend time with it, that would be a huge plus mark.

Basically it looks like FO3/NV with the expected technology updates, but that might be all I need.
