Having a house is still the less Fallout-y concept I can think of right now. Fallout, for me, is about travelling all the time and never staying in the same place. Having a shelter is ok, but not a home.
I don't think they are going to try this "build your own town" approach now, however. Bethesda aren't known for their sturdy engines, so having to process all that crap could be a little too much for Gamebryo or whatever it's called right now.

From what I've seen, the setting itself doesn't even evoke that kind of wandering to me. It looks like a wasteland, but still fairly livable. Maybe this is the type of place for those features (not that I care).

I'm kind of only looking for two things in post apocalyptic settings. Wild West (and all the desolation and survival that entails). Or car crashes. I'm not gonna get the latter, but I'm not even sure if I'll get the former here either.

It's Fallout. Nuff said. Like elder scrolls/BioShock/deus ex/monkey island/witched/shadowrun....I will play and (usually buy) these franchises regardless of how they deviate from or rape the source material. Ultima known longer falls under this though.

I'm unashamedly going to buy this game Day 1.

But I don't see the correlation between lack of shame and willingness to buy collectors and ultimate editions of games that the poll seems to assume.

What do day 1 special editions offer me?

Will buy it with the inevitable Steam sale. I don't want to play it, the same way I didn't want to play Skyrim or Diablo 3, but in the end I did. As it sez in the Bible "we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance" and as Dak'kon from PS:T said, "in enduring grow long."

I don't think i'll even be bothered to get a trial copy ™ I've grown tired of spelunky games and what little remained of the RPG spirit is pretty much dead. It'd take a massively overhauled combat system to be worth it for the gameplay feels.

Poll should've been multiple choice, I'm gonna pirate it but also OP is a faggot. And he should've made the poll show who voted for what, it's much more fun that way.

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.
That is true if you consider Codex only having 105 members. I would think those that don't care don't even come here to read or post.

Damn only 105 posters?

I thought you guys were the shit. I picked the wrong site to park for awhile, didn't I? :)

You misunderstood, only 105 people voted on that poll when I wrote that post.

I don't understand why people keep saying that they will buy the game and play the game for just 30 minutes or maybe a little more. If even those who hate the game can't help buying it then what should fanboys do? I don't understand how it's even possible that people haven't already assaulted Bethesda's headquarters to offer their buttholes to the sexual whims of the developers (even female ones, in which case strap-ons shaped like vault-tec bobbleheads will be required for MAXIMUM PLEASURE).

Stop saying this, please. Stop using pointless excuses to justify yourself. By buying their games you are giving them THE best support you can. Your money doesn't smell, look or feel different to them than that of dumb fanboys. 'Oh look, more money, make more shit'. And it doesn't matter when you do it: now, tomorrow, in 2018 when it will cost just a kiss on the stinking ass of todd howard. It doesn't matter, it's the best feedback you can give. And no, it isn't fair if you insult their games from now to eternity: you bought it and by doing this you are just feeding the machine.

It's like going to mcdonald's to eat their shit when they make those new burgers for a limited amount of time. You know they make shit, you know the new burgers are shit, and you still eat them. Omg, this burger sucks, it's terrible! The point is, you already knew that beforehand, so stop trying to do it in the least painful way because you're just spinning the wheel.

Don't get me wrong, I'd do the same if I had a better pc.

I just honestly don't think it will be that different from FO3 in terms of depth that we can expect.
I don't think they'll learn ANY lessons from Obsidian.

And I think it's due to arrogance and foolish, stupid pride that they would apply any of it.
As well as just a lack of understanding of what a real RPG is about.

I recall an interview with Todd where he talked about FONV and was essentially saying 'Damn, how did we not do any of that? WTF?'
He was impressed with the level of depth, the story, the factions, all of it.
But he seemed to lack an underlying understanding of HOW they got to that point, and HOW to apply such things.

To be fair, it's probably hard to learn anything after making/selling something like Skyrim.
