Do we even know for sure if using the in-game Pip-Boy still pauses the game? I'm kind of torn on whether I'd like that or not.

I'm talking about the pip boy app if you choose to use your smartphone instead. I'm pretty sure they said the in game one pauses the game. That's why I would wait until they had the app available cause I'd like to try it with it not pausing the game.

I wouldn't want the in game pip boy to not pause the game cause it blocks your view but the idea that I could look down and view the pip boy while things are going on but I'd have a chance to try to keep an eye on what's going on cause the screen isn't blocked, I think that would be neat. In the same way hardcore mode is. I like these games to be a little like simulators and it would seem more real/immersive to me that way.
 
RPG of the gen?

The Witcher 3 set the bar very high.

The ability to pick up every spoon in the world won't come close to the world building of the Witcher, in all likelihood, for me anyway. I'm guessing come December I will still have Witcher as my game of the generation.

I think a big split in opinion will be between people who like being provided with a story and those who like creating their own
 
Gettin' ready for the 10th, get the 11th off from work as well.

Yeah, you're right. I saw some debate on another forum about the Pip-Boy still pausing, but apparently someone that saw the Quake Con demo confirmed it still does. Looting however no longer pauses the game, which I definitely like.
 
That's your prerogative. I have faith in Bethesda; Todd Howard said this is the most extensive QA testing they've done before as well and I had no problems playing Skyrim at launch on the 360.

I played Skyrim at launch on PC, and the biggest issue I had was the initial performance (due to the game only running on 1 or 2 cores or something, which was quickly fixed by the community). Any bugs I came across were either hilarious, or not anything that a quick load of a save didn't fix.

So yeah, I'm very hopeful that things will be good.
 
The Witcher 3 is on Patch 1.11 less than a year out. I think we can give Bethesda a break if you wifes head starts spinning on it's neck out of nowhere.
 
Isn't this the first third person Fallout game? Previous ones didn't have an option for that, did they?

That's going to be the best feature of this game.

F3 and FNV did have third person option. No one played it that way cause it was shitty.

I assume it'll be the same for F4
 
cant wait to wear my official pip-boy and nerd it up while playing...

i did make one a few years ago for Halloween though, fits my iphone 4, maybe ill mod it to fit my 6...

No, both FO3 and NV were 3rd person. It sucked, but you could do it.

This will be the first time the protagonist is voiced and you can have conversations in third person, where previously it was always in first. So that whole thing will be big.
 
I'm contimplating cancelling my collectors edition order and buying a regular version. I don't know I love my fallout collectors editions though.
 
I admire the patience. I just couldn't do it.

Unless it comes out completely borked on the PC

the bugs never made me rage before... every FO release has been ultimately enjoyable with a few quirks, but nothing incredible game breaking. (auto save every rest was the true hero of these games.)
 
I'll wait until it gets patched a few times!

Mehh. Skyrim was by no means perfect, but I played that from day 1 and had no significant issues that prevented me from playing or from finishing the game before the end of the month.

I would be very surprised if this was worse, if not noticeably better in that regard.

There will always be bugs like floating NPCs or crazy ragdoll glitches and what not, but stuff like completely broken quests preventing you from continuing, severe crashing and legit game ruining problems are likely a very low probability.
 
I'm going to assume 3rd person in this is going to be shite too.
I'd love it if it was properly good that way though.

Honestly, at least from the pictures you show and what I've seen of the official one, that one looks better than the official one. It looks appropriately used and dinged up ;).
 
FO3 and NV had this as well. The "newer " Elder Scroll games did too.

Huh? 3 and New Vegas has third person modes.
No, you could go to 3rd person in Fallout 3 but it looked goofy as hell.

I've been living a lie. Your comments fill me with dread as to what it's going to be like in this game now.

That looks really nice!

The videos they have shown make it look like a pretty substantial improvement. It was even decent in Skyrim so I'd only expect it to get better from here. https://youtu.be/bWuwLSFmATI You can skim through that and they play in third person quite a bit.

Well from what we've seen it looks decent this time around. They say they rebuilt the shooting aspects of the game from the ground up and approached the guys at id software for cues and tips for the shooting mechanics since they own them now. So that should hopefully help.

I'm still all about VATS so it's not a big deal to me either way. I have more than enough shooters to play.

i LOVED 3rd person in FO3 and NV... you can change the distance of the camera to your character... I only ever used 1st person is when i was picking things up like small single bottlecaps
 
Well Amazon updated my Pip-boy order with my delivery date.

Priority shipping and it's supposed to arrive on the 16th.

Thanks Amazon, I really didn't want to play a game I've been waiting 5 years for on the day of release, thanks for looking out for me.
