So did I. On several occasions.

Sometimes I just hate to be right.

That excites you? At best, it's a cinematic mid-combat that breaks the game's pacing and takes control away from the player. At worst, it's a quicktime event where you "Press F to not die."

As a game it looked excellent in a lot of aspects, as a "Fallout" game it looks truly awful.The removal of skills and the streamlining of dialogue are deal breakers for me and may eventuate in me not buying the game.

The removal of skills is the biggest possible negative I've seen for this game so far. I hope everyone's wrong about this but all evidence points to it being the case.

I didn't like the voiced protagonist at fist and still don't care for it, but I've come to terms. The horrid dialog system is much worse.

The graphics are good and the overall gameplay looks good as well. I'm worried they might go overboard with "crazy" and "cool" things like vertibird gunning, jet packs, and your own power armor. But overall I liked what I saw.

Seemingly lots of Super mutants and BoS. Bleh.

Power armor looked amazing. Weapons looked great. Don't know about the building aspect though. I hope this didnt get in the way of their work on the story and characters, which is still what I am reserving my opinion of the game for.

I'd have given it a big thumbs up if not for the lack of skills and terrible dialog system.

If skills got removed then my vote for canon ending of New Vegas is that Courier Six reroutes the ICBMs to hit Boston so that this terrible crime against Fallout can never be made.

That's kinda my feeling as well. I can come to terms with a voiced protagonist but it's a lesser of two evils. The dialoge looks super ripped but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt since it's like 2 minutes of footage.

No Skills would be an issue, possibly a huge one.

If that's the case, that can be the canon ending to Fallout as a whole.

Somebody get on modding this!

Looked [censored] awesome. I won't worry about whatever "streamlining" they've done until i hear more info. The combat looks fluid, and vats appears to be massively improved.

I just wish that things looked neater, you think that people would have picked up all the trash around their settlements and towns.

Also really impressed with power armor, i think that its how power armor should have been from the beginning, i'm not as sold on the jetpack jumping...but i'll reserve judgment until i see how clunky it is when i'm playing

Well now that you put it like that...

I think I've posted before that New Vegas felt very dramatic to me, as if Obsidian knew that might be the last Fallout title they ever get to work on, and thus they give the fans a last hurrah, allowing you to either save humanity (or rather that region) or destroy it as much as possible.

I'm sad that with skills being gone, I really do question the future direction of Fallout as a series. However, I have a quiet little feeling of being content knowing that Fallout - if you view New Vegas as the last "true" Fallout (not trying to sound elitist here, to each their own) - absolutely went out with a bang, and allows you to provide the Fallout series with whichever canon ending you choose, whether that be all Core Region nations seeing a bitter end, or all of them surviving another day and continuing to try and press onward. New Vegas truly provides a fitting end.

And this is the part of the movie where I, in the audience, hope to god you're wrong. ;-;

2nd option.

The only thing that irked me was the voiced protagonist, and the set pre-war story. Although, I suppose the pre-determined backstory was a thing for most Fallouts(New Vegas offers more obscurity which I greatly preferred over the others.) The voiced protagonist approach with the Mass Effect style speech is another matter entirely. Howard made it clear he did not want to talk or touch upon the story, as that will be discussed later. So I will reserve judgement till then. Nonetheless, this new approach seems out of place to me. What Skyrim did with the presentation of their dialogue is nice. But they took that concept and upped the ante by adding voiced player dialogue and interaction. I do not like this direction, but hey, it might work out just fine.

The combat and actual game-play(the focus of this demonstration) was phenomenal. The enemy AI is very dynamic. Each enemy is different, behaves differently. The overall AI looks promising.

Hope I get enough time to enjoy this

Or, it could be akin to Skyrim's executes. Which IMO, is fine. If you are fighting a Deathclaw with 15% health left, spamming stimpacks shouldn't save you. So the execute ensures you die.

Or perhaps, it really is -just- Advanced Power MK I - II armor that has been salvaged and researched. From California and Nevada, to Chicago and DC. The Enclave have left their mark. Finding the material(schematics maybe?) to crafting Advanced Power Armor will probably be handled the way New Vegas handled it. That is to say, a rare but significant find to add to your arsenal. This does not mean "Enclave takeover part 3."

Something I'm wondering about. The robot tells him it has been 200 years. Meaning, 2277. Same exact start year as FO3.

Not 210 years. 220. 214. 200...

First off, why would a robot not be exact with the date, second, if that is the date the game takes place the EXACT same time as FO3, OR maybe like 3 months after, which is like... uhh, are we going to get any lore from FO3? IF the games are very close in time, odds are news wouldn't have traveled. On the plus side, that could potentially confirm the MWBoS as the BoS faction, as if the game is exact same year, I highly doubt Lyons BoS would already be moving onto Boston as there would be a lot of cleaning up to do in the CW.

Or the robot is full of crap and they hiding the game year from us. Either way, it very close to FO3, hell it potentially takes place before NV....

Excuse me while I pick my jaw up from the floor.

...

There, that's better.

It's looking like the death of the franchise for me. Might be swayed to buy it with more favourable information.

He seems like a somewhat witty robot with an artificial personality, probably to make him more comfortable as a member of the household. He may not have been going for an exact date so much as just saying what a normal human would say in those circumstances.

So I guess it's confirmed that we were pretty well off pre-war. The house seems nice enough, and the bomb-proof, emp-proof Mr. Handy probably wasn't cheap.

It might be a swell post apoc simulation and a grand technical achievement with all those extra features, and that certainly seems to be the goal; but it doesn't appear to resemble a Fallout RPG anymore (even less so than previously).

Based on the trailer, I'm going to guess the robot used his jetpack to fly above the blast explosion and shoot it dead with his assault rifle.

Though I missed most of the show. I did see some of the trailers and Todd Howard's interview at the end; I was amazed at what I saw. I was amazed at the character creator and that you can play a female, for those who like to play as them. I really liked the crafting and build your own home aspects. Although I wasn't too crazy about a voiced protagonist at first, I kinda like the voice for male and female. At least they're better than male Shepard and Geralt of Rivia. I heard people mention super mutants, BoS and behemoth's, but I didn't see any in the trailers I saw. Can someone post a link? So far I like what I see and the graphics look great. I just hope my pc can run it. lol

People complaining about the dialogue options. It's basically the same as every other game, except now our guy talks. You had the same options in past games, a handful of responses to give.

Game looks amazing. Crafting very well done. Everyone wanted weapon mods, there you go. Stop complaining.

You can watch again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KApp699WdE

What's wrong with complaining? The games used to be deep RPGs, now there arent even skills anymore and a dumbed down dialogue system. Truly my worst fears for the franchise, and i guess I'm writing it off..
