So with all of the information we now have what are our thoughts?
- Dialogue seems to be not so great and in depth
- Power armor is more of a vehicle now but seems to be ok
- Map size seems fine for most but others feel it's too small. I guess we'll see.
- Graphics seem great to me on both platforms
- Weapons and Combat mechanics look excellent
- Animations seem to be pretty good though some have problems with face animations
- Story so far (no spoilers for me) sounds a little sub par from others though I'll wait to see it for myself.

Overall I feel like it sounds like an above average game but for now is sounding like it's not fantastic amazing holy crap this is goty

I'd love to hear your thought

Cannot wait to sink countless hours into this amazing game! Everything I've seen and heard makes me want to play it more

I'm not concerned about anything mentioned. Ever since weapon creation was confirmed all other elements fade away lol Cannot wait.

I feel "Do Electric Men Dream of Electric Sheep?" is a more compelling story than "Fresh Water for EVERYONE!"

I think it's def goty. They went big with all the stuff you can do. First game to just keep adding stuff. It looks amazing. Even if it didn't have all this extra stuff it's goty candidate but with all it has I can imagine it not winning. Personally I'm fine with the talking and I like the P.A system bc I never use it and the new system is more logical but I can completely understand how people who always wear it would be upset. I liked NV way better because it was more post apocalyptic and 3 was more sci fi. So I am a happy camper. I think people who are upset have very valid complaints but this should still be the best game of the year maybe ever if you like this type of game

I'll withhold judgement until I've played it for awhile, but from what I've seen it looks really good

Not in the slightest bit concerned.

There has been a great deal of 'chicken little' behaviour based on a few leaks...

Hey gkk how did all your guesses go? I followed them a lot months ago but left to avoid spoilers. Been curious how they panned out.

Some not so good lol, but certain elements were spot on. Can't say too much before release, other than we're all in for a huge treat! The details I know about are so much better than anything I could have come up with...

Don't believe what the people tell you. Before the launch of Skyrim people leaked and ripped half of game selling it Like "the doom of Bethesda" And put trash during the previous week. Well We all know Skyrim didn't go so bad or did it? Let the trolls trolling the game would shut up their mouths for months.

And this is the problem with this forum. If anyone shows any sign of criticism they're automatically a troll.

Ah not so. It really depends on the presentation...

For example, when someone says the writing is not great, that's usually where they leave it. That's it's not great. How so? There are ways to detail your opinion without giving anything away. Why do you, for example, might feel the writing is subpar? Is it the delivery, the pacing, quality of voice work...?

If you can explain to us why you feel the way you do, we won't say you're a troll or think you're trolling, but we just need a little more than just a simple statement of your opinion.

This is a Forum! Expound!

This happens with every game release- leaks start and soon enough everyone is talking about how "X is so subpar" or "Y isn't good enough". I wouldn't read too much into it.

I've been trying to expound and explain my reasoning for days, as have many others. There entire threads about this, and yet still anyone with a dissenting opinion is labeled a troll or an idiot. Someone even told me today that "Had no life" because I watched a lot of Fallout story-quest streams and had a negative opinion about the story.

It's ridiculous.

It was the same on Skyrim's release. The most rabid fans will move on to the next object of obsession soon enough after release.

Soon enough all who are left are us bitter regulars complaining how they screwed up everything

Well...and this is me putting my hand on your shoulder...

Opinions, are like [censored]holes. We all have them. Some have great ones...Some have...not so great...

But you...Stick with your opinion, or let it change, they are not made of rock...

But...Stick to your opinions, no matter what, even if they do change. No matter what anyone says.

But...

Do not be like the loud and angry masses, who stand on soap boxes and bark to the heavens, thinking the divine devs will move heaven and earth because of your roar. Be meek and civil. Be a gentleman, even when others are not. Be funny, and jest. But...Never think for a moment, your opinion can move others, they can only move you.

I don't think that at all. It's just frustrating how toxic and single-minded these forums have become as of late.

Ahhhh that, yes, well, it's part of the cycle. The day of reckoning is upon us very soon. In two days time, in fact. Some are scared, and fear makes people volatile, edgy. To them, it's a nail in the coffin of something they only see with rose colored glasses, with no sense of the future and progress...My opinion, you see.

Sometimes, it's best to step away....or approach the angst with humor. Humor can disolve almost anything.

I was not talking about him or people in the forum. I was talking about people leaking info and bad mouth a game they shouldn't have in first place. Skyrim Fallout 3 had same thing trolling. Today I was in a Spanish live in YouTube a raffle one. Well an [censored] guy posted in English the end of Fallout 4 ... He went to another language live streaming only to spoil random people fun. That wasn't even about Fallout 4 at all. You can't go to a normal video within people saying Fallout four svcks my COD is better.... I am just tired of that. Did you play the game? No. Well same for me we only could guess about it. Just be careful not spoil other people enjoyment.

Can someone give a yes or no answer on whether game is better in these areas than skyrim or just the same

Stealth and stealth knife kills?
Ai of townsfolk?
Disguises if wearing faction clothing?
Storageand carry weight?
Movement animations in 3rd person? Are we still doing bunny hop climbing on rocks
Enemy ai improved?doessetting offtraps sttract enemies and willenemiesfollowyoufrom floor tofloor

That is 100% false. The opposite is true.

Accidentally double posted.

Just do your best to ignore them. While having different opinions is swell, it's not OK what they seem to be doing to you: belittling you and calling you a troll because you dare criticize Fallout 4.

And,

I can't wait until midnight.
