Strawmen argument alert. I haven't made that comparison, in fact I specifically noted that he should pick another example that contain similarly obscure\unexplained detail from FO:NV, so that this nitpick can put in context. Again strawmen argument alert. I haven't commented on FO3 vs FO:NV...

No, he pegged you right.. you are biased as hell ;) I don't see a problem with a gang of juvenile delinquents modeled after 1950s-style Greasers, its no more ridicules then the Kings. What is ridicules is you making assumption about social condition of people who thought the outside is...

That is your opinion. When FO2 came, most thought that talking deathclaws were not just unlikelly but stupid, so? We also used to think that when the bombs fell, humanity went with them, save for the vaults. However FO2 introduced New Reno and FO:NV landed New vegas on top.. (Funny how New Reno...

Our characters have always had some level of predefined background. And I for one, happy that for once we aren't playing a teenager "choosen one" wanker, with daddy issues.. But in either case there is nothing preventing you from pushing that character in any direction you want after you get out...

I am not surprised that you played it and had a bad about it.. For context I would love to know what was the last free game you played that was better designed. Personally, I heard good things about it, especially compared to other [not so] free games that exploit the fan base. Also, while I...

I agree with first part, since gaming became mainstream many IP followed that wider appeal path, however, you didn't make the case for lore consistency. In fact you seem to have moved on to changes beth introduced in general, trying to explain older fans sentiments\bias. A follow to the above...

Minor nitpick: Indeed First Person preservative and open-world games(not 3d) tend to leave little to the imagination, and at the same time absent a unique aesthetic you can find in many cRPGs. But that not to say that they don't have their merits,and specially per your example not all FPP games...

Do they? Just before crowdfunding project they almost followed interplay into oblivion.. They need projects, and currently beside Pillars of Eternity (which lets be honest, is change money compared to titles like FO:NV) they have nothing big, and inxile has leveraged the rest of cRPGs (whose...

That doesn't answer my question... I agree that opposition to government measures was prevalent across the country, however, I strongly doubt that riots were literally everywhere and specifically your suggestion that military\vault hood seen in the trailer isn't plausible because of the former.

Are sure that you understood him correctly? It is kind of hard to define what FO is to everyone, but I agree that the contrast between RL 50s optimistic view of the world and the stark reality is by large what set the mood/tone for the games. Although I suspect that what Todd meant was that...

Do we get a hardcore mode at all? speaking off, is there a way to see steam achievements for FO3 and FO:NV?

According to Todd they started designing FO4 just after FO3 and some fans suggest that the design phase was well over before FO:NV came. With less then 150 days till release it is certainly feature locked by now.. So this pretty much a rehash of what 'FO:NV did right', and I don't expect to see...

Honestly you have to be blind or stupid, not to see that FO4 is a vast improvement over FO3.. although I wouldn't call it the "right direction" just much better aRPG.

I suspected it all along, nice detail on the seals. That is good that they improved upon FO3 in this aspect as well, but I doubt that it will be substantially better.

Indeed. This was most notable with Beth reboot that for obvious reasons was separated from the originals.

A long as you understand that decision and that Bethesda made it cannon, then go ahead...

Beth made a conscious decision to bring all elements of its new IP to its West coast, FPP, open-world reboot. Deal with it, there is no point rehashing this with every single one of them.. Also found by max's body, the dog is both a homage to the originals (according to the Vault it was...

I don't really care what the codex or anyone else think about us, and I actually enjoy reading the banter and trashing on the order, its great to have a place where people can get off some steam, without taking themselves too seriously... Its actually threads like this that makes me cringe and...

I have to claim ignorance about FO3 DLCs, but if so then FO4 trailer present no problems. Also on the lore side, I have to give it to Beth where its due.. despite the inevitable inconsistencies, they has been spending a lot of time and resources to enrich FO universe.
