Stay strong people

Post » Wed Dec 02, 2015 5:17 pm

Just a shout out to people who have been avoiding reading spoilers. It has been a bit of a challenge and I about caved myself. I saw a comment that made me super curious about how the game begins, but I haven't played a game this blind since I played Super Metroid on the SNES lol. So! If the temptation has struck you and you feel weak... STAY STRONG! Just imagine the pure joy of starting the game up, creating your character, and diving into the world to see what it has to offer you.

I will say that I looked at the achievements for the game (which I would recommend you NOT do) so I'm marking myself as a "kind of". I don't know how you count that one but there you have it. Other than that, I'm clean lol. And SO DAMN EXCITED.

I did a little at first, soon realised watching someone else play is seriously boring. Stopped watching before anything major was spoilt.

Pretty much my approach at this point as well. For me (and many of you), this game is sacred ground. Dystopian wasteland bound, see ya there!

A little bit, but mostly about game mechanics and how things play out. I don't look for spoilers about quests or watch leaked gameplay.

The only thing I'm really resisting the urge to look at are the perks in full detail. I've gone dark on all major outlets, and this is the first time I've really visited this forum in over a week, so I've managed to avoid any major leaks. I just need to hold out for one more day. 22 more hours.

Makes me think of the 24-hour countdown they put up for the trailer. Back in June. Or was it May?Those were the days, huh?

I know nothing about the plot and hope to keep it that way till I've started playing (in less than 5 hours).

Beyond what Bethesda has released themselves, i have been hinding in this cave of mine to avoid anny and all spoilers. Sofar so good, since basicly nothing critical has been spoiled for me sofar.

I just wanted to see more about the character creation (including customizing the body) but I couldn't find anything.

Same for me. Looked only for videos about character creation, perks, new dialogue system, graphics and so on, but not for story spoilers.

I haven't looked for spoilers, but i was spoiled. Right here on this very forum even. Not sure if said person was just kidding or not, but still it was a major letdown.

I watched a few leaked videos and looked at some screenshots but they didn't give anything away. I'm still completely in the dark about story and.. well, lots and lots of stuff actually.

Mainly mechanics, like what perks are available, how Power Armor works, but I tried to avoid story related stuff. I am not too concerned rearding spoilers, though, especially in gamesas games, where the main storyline is nortoriously bland. One borderline story-spoiler I seeked out was information rearding available companions. Didn't find much, though.

Was mostly trying to find things out about power armour. Havent had a single quest or plot detailed spoiled though, as unlike others I was careful.

I have spoiled myself on the game mechanics (perk chart, persuasion, bobblehead effects, critical hits and sneak attack mechanics) in order to plan out my character in advance . I really don't want to replay the first 3 hours of the game multiple times just because my build was gimped. I realize that with no level cap, you never truly gimp yourself, but I like to play as optimally as possible from the start.

Almost there guys!

Looking for spoilers? Not intentionally and even then, I had a rough idea already on how the main story would play out. Bethesda has given a number of hints on this.

What I was really looking for, was gameplay elements and mechanics. In the end, only some German players I watched (before the ban crusade started) seemed to know what they were doing. The rest... I'd rather not comment any further :P

The only thing I wanted to see before launch was the perk list so I could plan out my character without having to start over. The story other then what we saw at e3 is completely unspoiled to me :D

I can't wait to find out if you get your wife or son back, I'm hoping your son at least since they put so much effort into voicing his names. The interesting question is how and I'm really eager to find out.

I went dark after E3, and have kept myself completely out of the loop with Fallout 4. I'm going in completely cold and I can't wait.

Only gameplay mechanics no story for me. Though some dikes tried to spoil the ending and all that I luckily didn't remember any of it. I want to go I'm dark story wise but know what I'm doing gameplay wise. Don't see the harm in that.

I didn't actively look for spoilers, but every once in a while i stumbled across something. If it seemed like it might be relevant i'd skip. If it was just some action footage with random enemies, eh, my curiosity got the best of me and i just had to see the combat.

Unfortunately, I have looked at a few things like the achievements and the perk chart... what can I say? I'm weak!

That said, I've managed to stay away from leaked gameplay and the like, and I can't wait to dive in and start discovering!
