This shit looks more and more like a Skyrim mod with each passing day.

Say what you want even if the game will be mediocre it will end to be amazing. Imagine all the cool mods they are going to do with it for years and years. Cannot wait.

See that dead female raider space pirate over there? You can fuck her in the ass if you use a mod from LoversLab!
Loverslab gets mentioned a lot but skyrim today had great mods that modify the game so much even in systems and features and gameplay that the game is barely regonizable.

:lol:

btw why is this cool if only you get new moves and the game is easy anyway. Never played it but it's obvious F4 could use a lot of work on its factions but then the map was small and they never fixed Boston either must be quite a letdown in VR.

Yes and no. There are mods that actually boost the A.I of the ennemies and make them more reactive. They dodge they counter attack the even counterspells.
Is just bethesda that is bad to code npc A.I but there are a lot of mods that boost it at the point that ennemies surround you. Attempt to hit you from behind time parry you and stagger you even.
Modding in skyrim reached a point that they archieved actually amazing things.

Well Bethesda admitted you won't get companions to follow you in F76 because they have "technical limitations frankly" . Otherwise they have all incentive to make this because it'd earn them quite a bit if not only you'd buy MTX for yourself but to a companion that can even complain about lack of said MTX. And now perks like robotics expert don't make any sense.

I don't think this is something modders can fix anytime soon.

LOL. Where does that meme originate from?

I decided to let AI have a go at an answer.

"See That Mountain? You Can Climb It" is a quote associated with Todd Howard and the video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim The quote was apparently uttered by Howard during the presentation of the game at the 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo. The quote has been referenced in memes, bug montages, references to mountains and open-world games, and speculations on whether designers referred to this utterance The quote has been criticized for being hyperbole and being a conman and a manlet However, it has also been praised for being inspirational.

Fallout 76 was born like an online game with liveservice and microtransactions. Was never born with full mod compatibility in mind this is why you cannot mod stuff as you want inside.

Seriously? I swear I've been hearing that long before Todd Howard. I remember that line being used by Brad McQuaid in an IGN interview for failed MMO Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. Mandela Effect maybe.

If you go over the trailer with a fine tooth comb there’s a lot of questionable shit in it. Like the fact that your ship’s interior isn’t loaded with the planet, you have to switch cells and go through a loading screen everytime you want to go back into your ship.
So you have a loading screen when you fast travel back to your ship, and ANOTHER loading screen to go INSIDE your ship.
If people don't want [frequently minutes-long] loading screens between minor location changes, then perhaps Bethesda games are not the path for them. We're going to be spending like 1/8 to 1/4 of gameplay time on those loading screens, its best to learn to love them.

Me, I like do pushups and small machine repair during loading screens. During one utterly typical length loading screen, I even managed to do the taxes of every single inmate on my block.

I look forward to Starfield to see what kind of feats of human distraction I can achieve during those loading screens. Maybe I'll speedrun a making fresh homemade pizza during a loading screen this time through? They've never let me down before; I trust they'll once again deliver. I'm up for the challenge. Who's with me?

That looks like the video game equivalent of dressing your dog up as a cat..

I hope whoever made that was only doing it for the purpose of making that video and doesn't actually play that in their spare time.. but I'm not very optimistic.
