I understand you being leery for past transgressions just don't fall back on that as the be all to end all of debate and don't let that fear cloud your view of the samples we are all anolyzing to death.

No the thread is a speculation(noted by the ? in the title) it's just worded kinda if so fact so.

Sorry...http://www.newgamenetwork.com/article/1308/fallout-4-preview-e3-2015/

Is it eight total, or eight main endings? If it's eight total, then that's pretty weak. If it's eight main endings like NCR, Legion, Independence and House (but four more), then it's pretty impressive, but I doubt Bethesda is capable of it. Wait since it's eight over two characters, then it's probably four a piece and they're just trying to make it sound better than it is.

How many total possible combinations of endings did New Vegas have? Like 29 slides with mix and match of multiple possibilities?

I dunno, I don't believe the article at all. Todd Howard said over 200 endings for Fallout 3 and that was just before the release (by a couple months).

Neither.

they never mention endings at all.

In the article provided they do.. The article says:

ok wait half a darn min here...

Just so you know, you can edit your post to include people instead of making three posts in a row to different people saying the same thing.. Seems a little spammy

Ahh, didnt read that one above your post.

No problem, I came into this conversation way later than anyone else. It wasn't included in the original post, so it's impossible to fault anyone for it.

The other sight are also suprisingly silent on that topic, to I'm suspecting it's either a misunderstanding of what they were talking about or a misstatement.

i suspect the same thing, i watched the whole conference and just re-watched the interview again to make sure and no such slip occurs. I'll let this one rest until it's confirmed one way or the other.

One point to make in all of this ...

F NV had 4 slides to cover the main storyline ending for 3 factions that had a total of 7 actual endings so if there are 8 actual "main quest " endings....

Yeah... I think it's a misunderstatement by one side.

Thanks.

Eight main-quest endings sounds pretty great to me provided they each have sub-endings like NV. But I also want to see endings for side-quests like the outcome of the 'come fly with me' quest or the NCR bounties quest (forgot the name.)

Still better than the ending to Mass Effect 3!

DISCLAIMER: This post was amde before Fallout 4's release. If it turns out that Fallout 4's ending is as bad as ME3's, we Riot.

It actually has endings, that's more than we can say for Skyrim.

The only mistake I made was not adding the link with my post at first,but what I read was their would be 8 endings over the two characters!! I've since added the link at least three times...your welcome to view it.

Guess he couldn't be assed to read the whole thread before adding his 2 cents.

To be fair I have found a couple of other sights (2 in Japan one Russian) that have taken the comments from the video and somehow thought it sound like they did voice work on the ending (which if they do like in NV and have main characters from the side quests voice there story lines.)

Oh god, this has just filled me with dread. I can TOTALLY see Bethesda doing something like this.

But as many have said... It sounds like a misunderstanding. It's the only source for this and all other sources about the same topic speak about '8 personalities'. It's not very likely that your source is right on this topic.

Your "Source" Is nothing but some dude not paying attention to what Todd or any of the VO's said. "Oh He also Said this" Isn't a credible source.

No Video proof, No Confirmation from todd, Literally everyone else is TELLING you why it was a misunderstanding and you refuse to accept it. So Sure buddy, there's 8 endings, have fun/

It's hard to interpret that to be honest. 8 could be severely limiting; keep in mind that variations could all be considered a separate ending.

For example, let's say the ending pay attention to 3 events, 1 of which has 3 outcomes, the other 2 only have 2. That would then be 12 different endings technically.
