The term "robit" is the Czech word for "work;" the word "robot" was adapted from that by the writer Karel Čapek in R.U.R.

You can romance MacCready, aaaaaaaaaaaargh. Unclean, unclean.
Shit, just checked, it's a kid from little lamplight in FO3. It's like Bethesda actually wants to remind people of that shit. LOL

Dude I've waited so long for this game, I don't know how I could take it if it turned out to be bad.

Oh. Interesting to know. Makes sense why it was pronounced that way...

I look forward to introducing Shaun to his new step-mother, Curie. You see, she's handy, son, if-ya-know-what-I-mean.
I'm surprised Shaun knows who the protagonist is, too. I'm still baffled we don't get to spend a bit of time interacting with him in the prologue to create some kind of emotional connection. (Also, all I can think of with Kellogg is Kellogg's Corn Flakes, I'm so sorry.)

Lol, this sounds really terrible indeed. But then this is Bethesda we're talking about. Still, it's a shame to see that their writing skills haven't improved even one bit over the past 10 years.
The real shame however is that, for the second time, they're inflicting their shitty and illogical writing on a series originally designed to be the exact opposite (i.e. one that presents a cohesive, inherently logical and thus believable setting and using it to tell equally believable and coherent stories). I mean, I couldn't care less about what they do with their own series, but it's a shame to see them pulling this kind of crap with the Fallout setting.

The guide is out?>
How much of a context you need, before a choice "Nuke Boston with hundreds of people" - "Kill someone who isn't even your biological or just logical son" makes sense?
For all the touting of the real time dialogue and how you can shoot anyone anytime you want, I don't really get why this decision is something you do through dialogue.
Like what if I want do both?

Ah, so I see. X6 is an actual synth. I didn't know Codwords can be your companion.
However another Mr.Handy Medic instead for a Protectron is not fair
if they changed his design so much. I like that fade yellow and new head glass.Nice, I ordered the special edition and hope it ships early./
Just stay positive, people. If nothing else, we can all at least enjoy Fallout 4's story on the "relentless ridicule" level.
Perhaps skilled Photoshop artists will insert Skyrim quotes into Fallout 4 screenshots as fake subtitles and then we can all play the game of "Guess which of these lines of dialogue are real", though lamentably there are no winners.

I didn't think we could get any dumber than Fallout 3.
The lack of full dialogue options makes it harder to screenshot.

Who wants to place bets on how many best writing / best story / best script GOTY-awards this game is going to get?

Bethesda is really good at getting accolades it doesn't deserve.

So.... is threedog in this game?
I want to say none, but considering what the industry considers good writing, I'm not so sure.

i wish i could name my character: Hates Newspapers
I've gone through this thread and...
where is all this terrible dialogue people keep complaining about?
Or are we just expecting shit based on the plot points being revealed here,
because this thread seems to be a gathering ground for modern Fallout haters.
Black Isle never considered Tactics canon, but major events from FOT are part of Bethesda canon and even referenced in FO3.
They also incorporated some BOS lore from that as well. Even the BOS as a whole was meant to be a West Coast thing.
A companion that's a robot but also -quite preposterously - has a French accent!? Another one who 'enjoys disguises'? It's like they've recreated real, actual, human personalities into the game.
Honestly, I doubt they even care at this point.
I know, right? Some amazing character design. There's the Fiery Redhead thief that's a drug addict, the "hard-boiled" detective with a trench coat and fedora, the Intrepid Reporter with the flat cap and a scarf and the intellectual brute/beast.
Lol. I'm so glad I didn't get caught up in the hype for this one, Everything sounds like a turnoff. The plot is dumb, with an even dumber plot twist. Plot twists are a lame crutch too, just make a fun engaging story. Your writing doesn't have to be the best and in a series like Fallout it's more about the journey itself I feel and the various characters you meet on your quest.
Then there's the fact that every single character looks like WaxCostanza.jpg.
I swear to god if Fallout 4 ends up with more GOTY nominations than Witcher 3 I'm... gonna laugh at the stupidity on display.

"You know what's funny? The most funny thing? In a character?"
- What?
"When you expect them to be one thing and then they're not actually that thing. You follow?"
- Sure
"So imagine you have this robot, right? And how do you expect a robot to talk?"
- Well, i suppose they'd have problems with human communication and
"Bleeps and bloops, right? Bleep bloop, destroy the human! 0s and 1s!"
- Maybe in 1965 yeah
"But instead of that, they're all excusez-moi, monsieur I 'ave 'eard you do not like newspapers. Classic. Or imagine some big guy, yeah? Now imagine instead of being dumb - because he's big - he's actually really intellectual. Like, British? Remember the bit about the French accent? Foreign people are funny. They're just...funny"
