Bethesda would have to compromise their larpy nature if they give a voice to their protagonist. Besides, imagine the rage if it's a male protagonist by default.

Someone posted the CSS from the site and it appears it's going to be cross-gen (360/PS3). Obviously doesn't mean it's a fact but I really...REALLY...hope that's not the case.

Revving up the hype machine so soon after Witcher 3's release? Not sure that's a good idea...

PA system failure has occured.
Shutdown of the Masterbrain has been authorized and all sensitive materials have been removed for security purposes.
Please attempt re-access. Have a pleasant day.



Subtle.

You need to turn off your brain to play the game.

The Eurogamer blurb speculates that it will have a voiced main character.

I sure as shit hope not. More often than not voiced protagonists detract from the game, and the only way I can take Bethesda writing sem-serious is if I imagine the protagonist says everything really sarcastically or super ironically.
A voiced main character also makes it pretty much impossible for modders to add new dialogue that doesn't seem out of place. Voiced NPCs are enough of a hurdle, a voiced PC is cancer for quest mods.

I pray they realize this. Mods are the only reason people are still buying Skyrim.

Will buy if developed by Obsidian. If it's developed by Bethesda, I will wait for a GOTY edition with all the DLC and get it for €5.

The teaser is black and white. The game should be black and white. A game should be made for the color blind these days. Why is there so much internet outrage supporting trannies, yet none supporting the color blind?

Someone already alluded to the purpose being to bury BT4 KS campaign. I don't want to sound paranoid but it's a suspicious coincidence that PoE release just had to happen between GTA5 and TW3...

Of course this is going to be cross-gen, it's been in development for 4 years or whatever? It's probably built on the bones of Skyrim. That CSS means nothing though, that's the main fallout site for bethesda.

Disappointing if true, but not surprising given the bulk of F4's development has already transpired when the PS4/X1 wasn't even out yet.

I'm just pumped I'll more-than-likely be able to still use my shitty dual core to run it. Pre-order of collector's edition, here I come!

I doubt Beth's current fanbase gives a shit about BT or Fargo.

Will buy if developed by Obsidian. If it's developed by Bethesda, I will wait for a GOTY edition with all the DLC and get it for €5.

So you'll buy anyway...settle down, you rebel, you.
I might even shake my fist at the screen if the game is not developed by Obsidian. I will have to use my inhalator afterwards, but I like to live wild.

That's probably true, there's even some references to Fallout 3 in the CSS.

What cheaply-produced, carcinogen-laden plastic bauble will they pack in this time?

Boston baked beans they found in an abandoned mall quarter machine
