I've been gamaing heavily as my main hobby since Doom, Halflife, Unreal, etc so im used to old style game limitations and its really weird to me that their was an open-world post-apocalyptic game that i wouldn't play, but Fallout 3 turned out to be one. Post-apocalyptic settings are my favorite. I don't have a ton of time to investigate into all my concerns about F4 so i thought i'd ask here. I stopped playing F3 after i got to the amazing looking ship because of the following things i hope are not in F4.

1. Is the strange pipboy guy that was plastered all over the place in this too? This guy really weirds me out.

2. Will it be chock full of goofy, unrealistic and most importantly for me, unbelievable, conversations, verbal responses and human behavior?

3. Is the movement system still jerky, like how you go from standing still to full-sprint in a instant making it jerky when you are trying to make small adjustments and explore?

4. Have they figured out a good feeling set of combat mechanics yet or is VATS still in?

If it stil has this in it then i wish we could have our money go to the artists and programmers only, not the designers or producers. Same way i feel about Destiny

What?

You're asking them to take the Fallout out of Fallout.

nevermind, got it in too late.

This topic has no topic

Yeah it sounds like perhaps Fallout 4 will not be the game for you. I expect them to improve the animations for running walking, and we have been told they cleaned up the shooting, but goofy conversations and the "Pipboy guy" will almost certainly be in the game.

@ joker243 They're simple questions, not pleas to change the game.

If you didn't like FO3 you won't like FO4.

Moving along.

1. Is the strange pipboy guy that was plastered all over the place in this too? This guy really weirds me out. I like a flavor that my tongue doesn't like.

I don't recall this guy. Unless you're referring to random vault boy ads in the game.

2. Will it be chock full of goofy, unrealistic and most importantly for me, unbelievable, conversations, verbal responses and human behavior?

With the voiced dialog for the protagonist and other possible changes I don't think I can answer this yet.

3. Is the movement system still jerky, like how you go from standing still to full-sprint in a instantly making it jerky when you are trying to make small adjustments and explore?

This has always been Bethesda style unless you use a controller so your character can walk without the / key.

4. Have they figured out a good feeling set of combat mechanics yet or is VATS still in?

VATS is in. I haven't played it to answer the first part of your question.

1. Vault Boy will definitely be wherever he can show up, giving us reassurance and reminding us all that Vault tec cares.

2. Imo hope its vary humorous, and well written to make atmosphere and make all us human happy with the game.

3. Its on an entirely different engine then fallout 3 so its a fair bet that the movement system will be a little different, and better modified for "small adjustments and exploring".

4. VATS is still in the game, rightfully so, but instead of stopping time completely itll be slowing it down, adding to the flow of the gameplay.

We don't know much about the game, other then what was said at e3 and gamescon unless you work for or are close to anyone over at bgs. We'll just have to wait till the games out to find out if our favorite features and characters where included in the final product

If only that were the reverse case with Fallout 2 and FO3.

I dunno, man, I've learned to love them both for different reasons. Playing FO3 I barely think of FO1&2 and the other way around. They so different that I don't really connect them anymore. I just enjoy them for what they are

1. Yes, he will be everywhere. He is sort of like the mascot.

2. Probably.

3. Probably not.

4. VATS is a little different, but it is still in. The combat mechanics should be much improved.

I resent FO3 ~not for the game itself... that at least is fun to play; but it's not the right fun for the name, or the series it's been grafted on to.

Yeah I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that FO4 probably won't be the game for you.

1. You're thinking of Vault Boy, who you'll probably see more or less the same amount of in 4 considering he's a bit of an icon of the series.

2.Most likely

3.They seemed to have improved the animations but some of them still look a little janky.

4. They have some developers from Bungie and id software helping with the combat and it does look much more fluid so maybe. Also V.A.T.S is still a thing except it just slows down time as opposed to stopping it completely.

The humor of Fallout will most likely be in F4, otherwise it would not be Fallout. It's been there since the first game.

And vault boy, yeah he is kinda iconic for Fallout. Personally I have a vault girl mod/s (not the "sixy" variety) for F3 and NV so I almost never see him. You can count on a vault girl mod being made for F4, when we get the GECK.

From what we have seen, animations have been greatly improved and look much smoother, compared to Skyrim. And that game was light years ahead of Fallout 3 in animation smoothness.

VATS will not pause, just slow down time. So that is one change. I guess.

I don't believe so. The humor of Fallout was the humor of the original minds behind it. That won't come from another studio.

Beth managed to add some of it in F3. But honestly I never really saw much of it in Fallout 1, when I played it back in the days. F2 had lots of it and is another reason I like it a little less, F1 had a slightly more serious tone which made it better, imo.

Thanks for the helpful responses! Pretty respectable helpful/non-helpful ratio there

C'mon Giz, for once can we not make this about whether Bethesda ruined Fallout or not?

As for the topic, you will most likely not enjoy Fallout 4. Although I'm not sure why Vault-Boy would be one of your "top 4 concerns".

...

Hey! Maybe you didn't like Fallout 3 OP, but maybe you should try Fallout 1 or 2. There's still the vault boy imagery in all of the perks and character sheet stuff, but everything else you're worried about isn't a problem because they're completely different kinds of games! (although frankly, I still thought the dialog in Fallout 2 was goofy and unrealistic)

,,, ... ... ...I think it's likely that Vault Boy will be in F4.

For real. Getting to the point where I don't even need to read the comment to know what it says.
