Admit it: You are going to buy Fallout 4.

Currently 28% of the Codex are planning to buy FO4 (including Infinitron and Lhynn, who have it on their Steam wishlists). That's already a respectable number, but I'm sure it will go up further when we're closer to release.

I think if you just go off and wander, then maybe that rich dude in the apartments asks you to blow them up. So the quest starts that way.

Even then, that's a shitty way to start what should be a devastating and regional changing quest line.

I'm not gonna argue..

But personally, that's how I tend to play their games myself. I crawl out of intro cave and turn it into GTA...where I just wander and get into trouble... for the most part. That's all their games are to me really. That really aren't that great on other levels.

And I'd probably be more excited about this one, but I'm tiring of that.

Reality is truly stranger than fiction.

I should add that this game itself actually doesn't seem traditionally "Bethesdan". So it won't be sandbox/wander heavy maybe. They have a VA and everything! And apparently some story about AI.

But then, that story itself annoys me, if I choose to actually roleplay and follow that tale. Because I suspect our own character will be an AI themselves. Then it'll piss me off for that alone. Bioware already has the AI sympathy bullshit covered as it is. If they go there, I bet I'll have the big dilemma where my AI hating character ends up hating themselves too.

edit:
But this is all speculation.

I would buy a second New Vegas by Obsidian. No way in hell I am paying for a second Fallout 3.

 

[JarlFrank]

Did OP ever hear about a thing called "torrents"?

 

[Bubbles]

Hey Jarl, please report to the front page for farewell brofists.

 

[Azalin]

Will probably get the GOTY edition for 10 euros during some steam sale in a few years,will bitch about until then though

 

[Crooked Bee]

I buy pretty much all RPGs. I even bought Raven's Cry and The Witcher 3.

 

[Beastro]

I'm not. Bethesda's now on my list of "Do not buy" and I'd only play it illicitly, if ever.

I'm burned out by the same routine with a shit vanilla game and spending too much time and frustration DLing a billion mods to make then game enjoyable and then getting them to work together. I have problems with TMJ, it's bad enough dealing with a simple walk giving me a bad tension headache I don't need to get them from trying to figure out how to patch mods together to play their games decently.

My only attempt in years has been to replay FONV, I kept it down to a handful of mods (Something went wrong with PN, and it only half works, but fuck restarting) and I only made the attempt in the first place because it the content doesn't need as many mods in the first place to give me an enjoyable playthrough being an Obsidian game.

I didn't even bother with mods (beyond the requisite killable kids one) with Skyrim. Played it at release for a few weeks, then dropped it feeling indifferent, like with Kingdoms of Amalur.

The worst thing you can do to a player is make them feel indifferent to their game.

My condolences.

legitimately own

Begging is not legitimately owning.

Successful begging is.

[jimmy_pvish]

I will buy it when a compete edition (fullgame with all DLC) are at 80% sale and maybe play it for 30 minutes and never touch it again.

Just like I did with DA:I

 

[markec]

Ill wait around a year to see how good is the modding scene and if there are some great mods like Requiem Im gonna buy it from key seller site for 1/4 price.

 

[Crooked Bee]

My condolences.

I actually regret The Witcher 3 more. I'm not going to play either of those games anyway, but given that I disliked the Witcher 2 a lot, I really shouldn't have given my money to CD Projekt.

It would have been nice if you encountered other V13 dwellers that were sent out before you, either dead somewhere in the wasteland OR having decided to say fuck V13 and all those assholes, and move on to do something else.

So it won't be sandbox/wander heavy maybe

A large section of the game will be about building your house and modding your weapons, so it will be. It's like Minecraft with atomic bombs.

 

[stray]

I'm not sure what to think about that. I've never really played Minecraft (own it, but never did much).

 

[Bubbles]

It's like Minecraft with atomic bombs.

But better.

 

[pippin]

The videos have been focusing on that aspect of the game a lot, more than combat or story. The E3 video was practically about how you will be able to customize your home, armor and weapons. It's not hard to imagine you'll have to scavenge parts and blueprints a lot if you want the best house possible. Get ready for clickbaity youtube crap like "Fallout 4: Crib Edition".

But better.

Better enough to save Todd from manic depression?

 

[Hirato]

But better.

To date you are the first person to ever make me want to defend Minecraft.




I'll "obtain" the GOTY edition in 2018 when loverslab have modded the shit out of it, but not before.
There's also a very good chance Bethesda will douse any such intentions with Paid Mods.

 

[stray]

I haven't watched any vids besides the trailer. I just assumed that feature was going to be like Skyrim's hearthfire dlc. Strange...

Maybe there's some fun to be had out of it. Especially if you can build whole towns. Most people play these games like sociopaths, so having little towns at your hands kind of makes it funnier.
