That would be awesome. Make it happen...

Yup, also a possibility. Or they have you choose your character at the start, allowing you to be the mother as well.

That's what the leaks said, anyway. It's possible the father you see at the start and the Vault Dweller at the end are one and the same, they definitely look alike.
Also, the people in the first pic are the same people who are seen left outside of the vault when the bombs go off in the trailer.

Bless you for this thread.
Does Perlman's narration sound like he is speaking like a army general or something? Maybe he is actually apart of the story this time.
I love the idea of building your own base since playing Fallout 3 for the first time. I would even throw a few things down in a random destroyed building and pretend lol.

I'm excited too for the next versions of boon and some other companions ! So hype !
Probably the holiday season. But I wouldn't be surprised if it came out as early as this November.

Oh thank god, that's one fear down. A rumor a few weeks back made me think that they would only have a male character avaliable for the story missions. But if that was Troy Baker in the trailer, they have to have Laura Bailey, it's like a package deal.

Wow, this is huge.
In Fallout 3, my only interaction with Dogmeat was to shoot him and eat his flesh. My hope is that will be my only interaction with this pooch as well.
I work alone.

If that leak of the protagonists' origin of being
then that guy in the pre-war trailer with the wife and his son is probably the protagonist and he wakes up in vault 111 being checked and experimented and soon after waking up
if there is an option of changing the gender
The canon would still be the male protag or unless the female protag would be the wife instead ?

Depends.
If he runs and gets stuck in geometry like in F3, then yea, stay at home.
In fact, I hope we have an option to have two dogs so when I leave one alone at home for days on end he won't get so lonely.

Will hardcore mode happen?
I want a really survivaly experiencd
I also hope they utilize a fast travel system like Witcher.
Artstyle seems to make the game feel more alive and ... lush? I love the dead brown world of Fallout, but I hope this is a sign of variety.
I also saw rain!

All right, went through the HQ vid and made some screens. Interesting stuff in there.
Most likely the new 'exiting the Vault'-scene. Landscape looks appropriately bleak and desolate to make an impression, at least. As we see at the end of the video, the Vault door appears to function as an elevator for Vault 111.
As noted earlier, the guy has a robotic right hand. Could be an android, could be Captain Hook, could be anything really.
Thought the guys in the first picture were Brotherhood soldiers at first glance, but looking at their movement and what they're wearing makes me believe they're supermutants. FEV found its way to the Commonwealth. Deathclaws are another FEV byproduct.
Pretty sure these are feral ghouls. Look appropriately zombie-like. Expect those shopping carts to spaz out and kill you.
Looks like this settlement is actually built inside (or around) a baseball stadium.
Brotherhood soldiers (?) wearing T-51b power armor, or a variant thereof. Either they found a stash, or this is a different group than the ones that left the core region for the Capital Wasteland. Could also be another faction entirely, since Brotherhood presence in MA hasn't been hinted at before. Could be troops working for the Institute. Since their power armor is so iconic, however, I'm guessing these guys are Brothers of Steel.

All of this

There was pretty much no combat in that trailer, just a few enemies running up to you. I wonder if VATS is overhauled? In fact were there any weapons shown? I'm gonna watch it again.

Any idea of the location? Asked in the other thread were everyone is moaning about the graphics. Unsure of American cities but thought I saw the liberty bell in a shot...
I can't wait for this to drop, I hope there is a greater Character creator and clothing options

God June 14th can't get here fast enough...
My questions...
1). Release date and could it actually be this year? I think its unlikely its this year but I was expecting CG teaser not clearly in game footage of multiple areas I'm thinking late 2015/early 2016 but that also depends on other things such as...
2). How big is the world? We know from the leaked Kotaku article its set in Boston but how much of Boston, how much of the surounding area, will it be bigger then Fallout 3/NV/Skyrim?
3). Playable flashbacks maybe? Highlighting the past in this trailer makes me think they are teasing that we will actually get to play parts in the world before the 'fallout' actually happens could be a really interesting opperutnity to see the world before the end happened.
4). The dog is a hint at a much deeper compainion system? I love the ideas of compainions in games like Skyrim/Fallout but I've always felt they aren't really well done most of them don't do much but follow you around as a souless NPC you don't really interact with them or talk to them, I really hope that the dog having such a presence in the trailer actually means they are trying to make compainions more interesting this time.

From the other thread;
In the one with the bus, is that a super mutant? Or something else? Looks like a Brotherhood of Steel member on the left, so that's what's throwing me off.

Taking "Dogmeat" literally, I see.
I like how it was done in Fallout 3. Once discovered, you have the option to have him follow you around, or he could be dismissed. Personally, I'm glad the option of having Dogmeat, or at least a reasonable facsimile therein is on the table.
Already a fan of the aesthetics. Seems to be more "colorful" than either Fallout 3 or New Vegas, definitely a good thing. Also personally hoping for a return of the "True Sight" aiming mechanic and "Hardcore" mode from Vegas. Both added to the immersion nicely, and I never really cared for VATS, if I'm honest.

The thing on the left looks like a Super Mutant in armor, you can see the face and the disjointed limbs. The thing on the right is definitely a fucked up looking Super Mutant, maybe a taller version?From the other thread;

Damn that picture gives me chills. Looks so awesome; Just the way the mutant on the right is lumbering about.
I wonder if the guy on the left is a supermutant wearing power armor? His proportions are strange.

Think those are both super mutants. The one on the left is just wearing different armor.

Supermutants... Hopefully they migrated from the Capital Wasteland and there isn't another source of FEV.From the other thread;

Would be interesting to play as a parent or a mother.
The latter would probably be the first time in gaming history
Hopefully the spouse isn't dead so this is a story about a family
If they are smart enough to build/occupy Jacobstown then they just as well travel north-east, not that hard

There was some custom weapon the FO4 Protagonist had.
Oh just realized something. If the FO4 Protag was in
cyrosleep.....why couldn't House use that?
It's boston
Fenway maybe? Would they be allowed to use the name of the stadium?

I wonder if this one is set closer to after the nuclear holocaust than the previous ones.

Since there's Deathclaws running around, I think we're dealing with another source. We saw an Eyebot in the trailer, perhaps some Enclave remnants fled there and took it with them, or the Institute experimented with it.
All in all, not the most creative solution, but I guess it wouldn't be Fallout without supermuties and deathclaws. Just wait 'till the cazadores show up.

There will probably be quest that results in Cazador's being unleashed into Boston
Strange,i thought the nuclear explosion killed him and his family.
They could just be heavily irradiated as opposed to ... being vaporized

Yeah, it looked like Beacon Hill and old Ironsides.
They did three after I moved away from DC, and now they're doing 4 while I'm in Boston. Hot damn am I excited for this. T-stops all over the place tho, I bet.

The Enclave is or should be gone. Hopefully it's an Institute eyebot.
Also to the other person who quoted me. The Capital Wasteland Supermutants were dumb as bricks because the FEV strain in Vault 87 was incomplete.
