AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Oh cool, Fallout 4 is already available for pre-purchase on steam. Real tempted to get it.

I'm waiting for the inevitable DLC package edition.

it's a problem

i want to get it on release

but it'll have a goty version within like six months i know it

i want to get the goty version

but i want to get it on release

today in new vegas my special boy Spanks Dailee accidentally let deputy beagle die trying to escape the roller coaster/hotel/casino

to be fair a guy was throwing fire at the deputy which isn't nice at all

Watched the Bethesda panel for Fallout 4, here's what I recorded.

First thing I'll spoil is that you'll be able to play as a girl or a Boy, the boy only rumor is dead.
Your character WILL be voiced.
The game is 100% confirmed to be set in Boston.
THERE'S GOING TO BE A FALLOUT 4 PIPBOY EDITION AND IT COMES WITH A MODEL PIPBOY THAT YOU CAN PUT YOUR PHONE IN, IT EVEN HAS AN APP TO GO WITH IT!!
There is going to be a new Iphone game where you run your own vault.

The game does open before the Nukes fall, you customize your character who is either a guy or girl, and they're married. It's assumed that one just dies.
Your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. is determined by an annoying door salesman who asks for info about your registration to the nearby Vault.
The dialogue system is more akin to Mass Effect, it's no longer you asking questions and getting text and voice acting, you actually see your character talking, and it just...really feels like Mass Effect in terms of conversations. Wow.
The players dog can be given commands to help retrieve an item or go to a certain point.
VATS looks incredible, it slows down time instead of stopping it immediately.
You can bodaciously play games on your Pip-Boy, one of them is a clone of Donkey Kong.
You get to create your own home that you can customize with furniture and grow resources.
At these homes, you have to set up defenses against raiders, and you can even get traders to arrive which apparently have the best stuff in the game.
Now useless junk items from previous games can be used for resources to create stuff like gun parts. You can even turn stuff like a laser pistol into a laser rifle.
Crafting also works with Power Armor, which explains the power armor you see in a garage in earlier material.
You have a smoke signal that apparently spawns a copter that you can ride to different areas of the map, minigun included.
There's a gun that shoots teddy bears...I'm not kidding.

Not "going to be", more "is already out"

Fo4 is also coming out this november.

I do not like the new dialogue system or the player voices which seem to have no customization, but everything else MASSIVELY makes up for it like oh my god i can play fetch with a dog what else is even necessary. dog fetch 4, with guns.

Re: the dialogue scenes, they mentioned that they can be done in either 3rd or 1st person, and can be freely dropped out of so you don't have to do the cinematic cut-scene style thing.

Personally I don't have too much of a problem with a voiced main character, as long as the voices are relatively neutral and not too in-your-face. I'm certain one of the first proletariats to come out will be one that removes all player dialogue, lol.

I'll spoiler this part since it's vaguely story related: The character creation idea is hella cool, I especially like how your robot can say your name (if it's a common enough name, I guess) and how your kid can apparently look like a mix between you and your spouse. It's a shame they don't appear to survive, though. At least you can still talk to the robot.

It looks like they used and fleshed out a lot of features that were introduced in Skyrim, like the companion command system and home-building. The crafting system looks hella cool, HUGE upgrade from the weapon proletariats you could do in earlier Fallouts. Also I just love the fact you can salvage random junk for parts, all the more reason to be a hoarding kleptomaniac

Bethesda basically put in the weapon crafting system Borderlands was supposed to have, instead of having 5 billion different variations. Fallout Shelter (the phone/tablet game) is already out on iOS and will be out for Android devices soon. No news of a PC release. Maybe if we make enough of a stink about it.

Some things people might have missed....
There will be more than simple house building, you'll be able to build entire settlements.
You will at one point have your own Vertibird.
Every piece of crap lying around has actual usage this time. So pick up every toy car, lamp, and rocking horse you see this time going.
Yes, there is fucking iron sights (you would not believe how many idiots kept asking this in the stream I was watching.)
Multi-Layered Armor System.
Hundreds of different weapon components you can make for each type of gun, which ties into the scavenging I pointed out above. Yes, you can turn a toy car into a rocket launcher.
Fully Customizable Power Armor. (Yes folks, I've already talked to some people, and yes, they have already started on creating Iron Man Armor proletariats. Just don't expect them day one...Give em a week or two .)
I have more, but I'm just going to tell ya that Gopher can give you a better run down than I can. Check out his youtube page in the next day or so (he JUST went to bed like 15 mins ago, poor bastard.)

And Liraxus, the teddy bear launcher isn't new, it's called the Rock-It Launcher in Fallout 3. I loved loading that thing with baseballs and hitting home runs on Raiders with it. Nothing more satisfying than gibbing a ghoul with a crotch shot.

when can i pre-order collectors edition because I FUCKING WANT THAT PIP BOY

I think you guys are missing the most important part, power armor with jetpacks!

I'll most likely go mad and buy the Collector's Edition, even if I have to buy it from Amazon's UK site and have it shipped to Iceland.


If it arrives in Iceland, I'll need to be super fast to snag it before it's sold out.

I want the pip boy. Also thanks for the recap.

I did suggest everyone to check out Gopher's E3 Fallout 4 analysis, and it was just uploaded. Here it is.

Dogmeat can't die in Fallout 4

I know we've all seen the comic but this just seems silly.
