-Game handles large scale, multi party combat much better than before, especially with VATS.
Good to hear.
-Skill system appears to be gone, replaced with a perk system that is based around your SPECIAL stats instead. Each point of stat unlocks a different perk, so if you start with ten Strength, for example, you can potentially take even the last Strength based perk right at the start.
Hmm...interesting concept, haven't formed a good opinion of it yet.
-Looting corpses is more streamlined, you seem to be able to mouse over them and see their contents, instead of interacting with them like a container.
Hm, does add a bit of realism I suppose.
-Radial menu for weapon equips. Hooray for consoles, svcks for PCs
Ha ha ha ha.
*ahem* I'm used to this, having seen this from Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto V. Oh, and the Saints Row series.
-Can shoot off limbs of feral ghouls, including legs, and they will crawl at you like typical zombie game style enemies.
Now this looks creepy and cool. Thanks, Bethesda, for giving my nightmares more ammo.
-Brotherhood of Steel is confirmed to be a potential friendly faction, mentioned that the player can "call in backup" from friendly factions.
Guess I'd better prepare a character per faction, then. I want to get the full experience of Fallout 4.
-Protagonist will self narrate while walking around the gameworld. Oh God please no.
Relax, I'm sure it's just like what we see in the demo. There will be fixed locations in the game world where you press a button to 'interact' and Howard/Nora will vocalize a commentary about whatever it is they're/you're looking at. I doubt they're going to wax lyrical like they're Max Payne.
-Radiation in the game no longer works like in previous games. Instead of taking away from your stats, it now works exactly like it does in Fallout Shelter, where it takes away from your maximum health on your health bar.
That actually makes a lot more sense as you're supposed to be, well, dying of radiation poisoning.
-Melee has critical hit animations, mentioned was hitting someone in the nuts to knock them down, then bashing their head with a baseball bat while they are on the ground.
Wow. Howard/Nora sure know how to use melee weaponry. o___o
