Look, a ghoul!

Post » Wed Dec 02, 2015 12:57 am

I'm really hoping the first time our character encounters a ghoul he/she flips the crap out. Bethesda's been known to put touches like that in. Super mutants, rad scorpions, and other stuff as well. Anything else anyone is hoping to see a reaction from our character after encountering for the first time?

Count me in, nothing against ghouls but your first time seeing one would be uncomfortable (lets hope its not a feral you meet first)...... OR a deathclaw..... Need a new vaultsuit moment.

(though my lore is fuzzy I think Deathclaw's and Molerats were both pre war BIO tech we were using against the chinese

I think that they technically were, but they certainly weren't anywhere close for mass-deployment. So, it's doubtful that anyobe who wasn't directly involved in thise projectswpuld know of them.

I wonder if they've recorded reactionary dialogue? Like if you get jumped in the wastes by a sneaky molerat will your character react in by screaming "holy sheep!"? if your walking up to your very first ghoul will you get reactionary dialogue when at a distance like "what the hell is that?" Or will you still have to walk up to the ghoul and initiate conversation to get something like "what the hell are you?"

Yeah would like for the character react to first time seeing stuff,dunno about deathclaw.

We don't know if the Main character was in any secret goverment,he could just be a normal soldier.

Anyways deathclaw info:

Could you imagine? Going about your first excursion out of the vault and then:
"Hey, Smoothskin! Got a light?"

I wouldn't like to see any automatic reactions from the protagonist. Any reactions should be through dialogue choices, and there should always be an outwardly calm one. Not everyone who is 'flipping out' on the inside shows it on the outside, and I wouldn't want my Josey Wales/Raylan Givens inspired character coming across as a drama queen. :tongue:

I enjoyed the dialogue options in FO3 upon first encountering Gob in Megaton. First time the player sees a ghoul.

I'm hoping they'll be at least a few instances similar to this one in FO4.

First time you see a Death Claw, Super Mutant, etc.

First time a merchant asks you for bottle caps in exchange for a gun.

Etc.

Well Delany did said there some wacky dialogue.

One that i notice is that the protagonist says grazed him in funny voice,you hear him say it in the video.

No, not at all. On a random side note, we have the same join date for this forum.

We can't link to it, but we can certainly talk about it - people were actually there and saw it and didn't sign NDAs, after all.

I hope they add some additional "What The Crap Is That!" type of dialog initially, but it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't.

Personally, I prefer there not to be too much reaction voice acting. Commenting on locked doors, weather changes, out of ammo etc I'm ok with. But the voiced PC is growing on me, and I think they'll pull it of well.

Anyone ever seen any of those terrible zombie movies back from the 50s and 60s? Our dude/dudette must think they've walked into a zombie movie and the first reaction would be to kill them on sight, lol.

I would just like to point out that we really don't even know that... all we know is that he was expecting to do something at a veteran's hall. For all we know he could be a USO entertainer or the head chef for the caterer.... all that was said was 'you are going to knock them dead at the veteran's hall tonight."
