So, Skyrim was my first Elder Scrolls game, and I have well over 4k hours in that game. Fallout 4 is the first Fallout game that has caught my interest, and I am just wondering a few things.

First off, will FO4 have console commands like Skyrim?

Will there be mods?

How obnoxious are the enemy attacks on my home/base/town/whatever going to be (will they only be now and then if I am in the area or will they be like the hang out requests in GTA4)?

Start reading the forums now ..then,buy it..have fun

As far as mods and console tweaks it should work almost exactly like Skyrim.

1. Skyrim and FO4 run on the same engine and most console commands from Skyrim should be there

2. Yes, there will be mods and they will work the same way as in Skyrim

3. We won't know until the game is released and some people try it out (but the settlements feature is optional)

I think Fallout 4 will satisfy your gaming needs

Skyrim 4k hourse played.

If it was me i will pre-order Fallout 4 alreayd =P

It's going to be Skyrim with guns!

jk

If you liked Skyrim you will like F4. I'm not saying go buy iy but I am saying they are similar in gameplay.

Now that I have seen the numerous game footage leaks with my own eyes, and know exactly what Bethesda has made...

The waiting is now much, much easier.

I can't say what I saw, because you know... Bethesda forum. But suffice to say, this game is not what I was hoping for. This isn't a labor of love, it's not even a work of art. It's just an intellectually dishonest piece of AAA schlock, painted up to look Fallout-like. A game that is little more than a summer blockbuster, designed for a quick, forgettable thrill, rather than a story that sticks with you for the longest time. I now know why I have so many hundreds of hours logged on New Vegas, while my Fallout 3 play time isn't even in the triple digits.

Fallout is the new Call of Duty.

I've cancelled my preorder of the Pip Boy Edition.

I have no doubt that this game will sell like a cancer cure, due to the appeal to the lowest common denominator. And I'm certain that the "big" gaming journalism websites with all the ads will give it perfect scores all around... but for me, this game feels like a betrayal of everything the series stands for. An installment that flips the bird to the originals, and misses the point entirely.

Bethesda, I thought you would have learned from Obsidian's example. I thought that after having years to gauge people's responses to both games, that you would have taken the best parts of both worlds and made something truly great. I was looking forward to this ALL YEAR.

But I guess this will be an object lesson for me.... that Bethesda... Bethesda never changes.

And now I'm going to go play Wasteland 2.

Yes, yes, yes, and we don't know yet

Reviews will be out the 9th.. So, I'm sure those will help with making up your mind.. I always wait if I'm unsure about a product and then, based on reviews, decide if I want to buy it right away or simply wait and buy it used whenever it reaches a price that I'm comfortable with.

Considering you can buy it for as low as $39.99 now... yes you should buy it.

Some impressions from the other side of the coin. I love the Fallout games 1,2,3, NV and what I know about Fallout 4 makes me not regreting preordering it.

But I haven't still finished the final DLC of Skyrim. It's surely a great game but I simply can't connect.

So maybe getting NV or FO3 cheap and testing first if the Fallout universe something that you like before buying Fallout 4.

It's all depends your preference Era you like to play.

'

If you like fantasy settings like in skyrim.

Or

If you like Post apocalyptic era like in Fallout.

Some people only like fantasy era settings and vice versa.

But if its your first time new to an apocalytic,then I suggest to rent and watch some movies llike Mad Max,Book of Eli.

If you don't like those movies after finishing watching then most likely you might not like FO4 or Post Apocalyptic settings..

Love how there wasn't a single reason or example in that whole comment as to why, just some poetic betrayal tat overdramatized to add some effect.

You should go play wasteland 2 (because its really good)

Wait for release to see how much they screw it up.If not much ,buy it. And also wait for Angry Joe review!

You do not come here as a Fallout fan and you have nothing invested in the Fallout series.

You don't have a visceral need to buy the game on the first day - so don't.

Wait for at least a week or two, watch the reviews and gameplay clips, and decide if this is your type of game.

Take the comments of our Troll population with a grain of salt, and make up your own mind.

I saw the avatar, the first paragraph and knew EXACTLY that you would follow it with a drama and end with a Wasteland 2 ad

Amen brother! could not said it better ...huh... i just hope Obsidian or Brian Fargo will make Fallout as it shoud be

In a simple word. YES

Ya, I was reading that too and kept thinking, "Okay, when is he gonna say WHY this game's gonna be bad?" and then it never happened

JUST DO IT.

FIVE DAYS FROM NOW YOU WILL SAY TOMORROW.

DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS.

Nah its too much work to play a game when you could just watch someone else play it for free* technically paying them by watching their ads on the channel

God I hope you jest.

Playing the game yourself is way better than having to sit side saddle to some goofball hamming it up on Youtube.

Hey wanderer lets go bowling!
