I'll agree with that...it does seem to be empty in a lot of areas..I personally enjoy wandering around just to kill stuff, but it is a little annoying to walk somewhere remote just to find a couple of coolers, and maybe a trunk...but maybe they are saving room for dlcs so it don't end up like the, mostly unplayable, NV when all those dlcs were installed...

I also miss having a darker world, Karma system, and more and varied dialogue options.

You are a monster.
If I saw this I would take out my disc and burn it.

Ridiculous assertions abound it seems. Ah well, can't be bothered to stay and feed the trolls. Off to the Wastelands!!

I dunno. I had no problems playing New Vegas. I must have done something wrong.

Perhaps you should look into purchasing games with the rating of "E" and "T".

Bless your little hypersensitive heart....

Yep. And what Dr. Tinde stated. It's a shame

PC?...I have it for PS3, and most anyone will tell you, you will be unable to finish the game + all dlcs...I did just one dlc after about lvl 20 doing main quests, and afterwards couldn't walk more than 10 mins. without serious lag and an eventual freeze..and that trail one (forgot the name) was extremely laggy no matter when you did it...I have tried to play it several different ways with the same outcome..excellent game, just seemed it had too much content to run smooth, at least for the PS3..

For PC, yes. Didn't have any game-breaking bugs and certainly no more random glitches or bugs than is present in all other Bethesda games.

In regards to proper Choice and Consequences, I would agree there was a lack of ambition. I would say there was also a lack of ambition on quest making, and it feels like there are less quests than say in Skyrim, and the game seems to rely more on radiant style type questing than proper questing, and many of the faction specific quests are extremely similar to other faction quests(simply clearing out enemies, raiders, SM, ghouls). This could have been fixed with a raider group, slaver group, mercenary group we could do missions for, similar to how guilds work in Skyrim. A lack of evil options is also something I would throw into a lack of ambition.

As far as weapons goes, it was lazy imo to make the Combat Rifle and Shotgun look nearly identical, and what is up with steampunk looking Assault Rifle?

Steampunk would not fit the 50s 60s feel fallout is trademarked for. A Steampunk faction might be a cool spin that could be brought in to the game. Hell a totally new game with Steampunk using the fallout 4 engine would be pretty sweet, gas lamps cogs and gears, steamrollered robots. Could make an interesting complete mod for the game. But all this will have to wait till Beth show us what the mod tools can be made to do.

I am disappointed with the dialogue... and not just the 4 choice, voice over system.... but it just seems that I can't really TALK to anyone like you could in the old games. I can't tell you how many times I've come across something going on and there are no options to talk.. just the standard, "Hey there." "What's up."

Once I found a a group of settlers out in the middle of nowhere... thinking oh, surely this is a quest.. or they are going to or from somewhere. Or they were run off by nearby raiders. Something! Nope... they just walk on past me, tell me hey and continue on their merry way.

OR a little merchant girl with a giant military droid. No explanation, no reason, no discussion. Just tells me that the robot watches over her and do I want to buy something or not.

BLAH to your pitiful dialogue.

Otherwise, I've been pretty entertained by the game mechanics itself... just wish was more RPG in it.

How come Obsidian made NV and Beth made FO4? Are they going to do a switch off every time?

No, it doesn't.

The intelligence of an individual speaks volumes when they resort to the LCD or kiddy argument. It's almost as bad as a cop on a power binge, because they blew out their knees in high school football and missed out on the pros. So, now they take out their frustration on those around them.

Single shot guns can also be rapid fire. So we really only have one type of gun.

Pretty much my exact feelings. and the more i play i realise the dialogue options are just 'Yes, No (but please pretend i said yes in your next line), Information then automatically Yes, Sarcastic yes.

It really is like the Disney version of Fallout. Nothing bad will happen and we are all sparkly princesses with a cuddly dog.

All Bethesda games lack serious ambition, direction and focus in the name of open world......not sure how long they can keep this masquerade going.....

I guess as long as there is a new generation of gamers to make the fool of...........

Bethesda are the reigning kings of bumper bowling.

It didn't for New Vegas, actually it adds. Because it means your characters alignment can swing back and forth, and be more openly fluid than just black and white moral think. It means your characters personalities are fleshed out and just because he wouldn't beat X with this club, he might be the other X with this club who might be a good person to other people, but the characters sees through his lies.

Lol, the mental image is oddly appropriate for my FO4 experience so far!

The karma system for NV was just as broken as it was for FO 3(karma was broke because it was way to easy to get positive karma, killing ghouls, fiends, etc and not so much options on the evil spectrum, unless you were a psychopathic killer who killed everyone). The REPUTATION system, on the other end, was pretty good.

how the hell u get that from dialogue, i mean i know is limited but, i just choose to kill a kid, and sell another and both time my no answer state.

bull, there's loads of choices and consequences, you're not even making any sense whatsoever, you must not be playing fallout 4 lol thats all i can say

Mass Effect style C&C, which isn't good C&C. I said proper C&C, which is the good kind, and in that regard, it isn't very good. Just having a "choice" isn't C&C, cochise.

For a video detailing C&C:

what i think is going on is a lot of bent out of shape obsidian fans who are hating that some people are enjoying fallout 4 so much, comments like "fallout belongs to obsidian" or "the game lacks choices and consequences"....i don't think most of these people actually have the game or are really playing it, no possible way, cause the qame has plenty of consequences and choices, so the monkeys are out of the cage and they're just throwing bananas all over the place, commenting on a game they haven't even played.

Obsidian fans, Black Isle fans, Troika fans, cRPG fans.

But...

...I'm pretty sure nobody cares if anybody is enjoying it other than ourselves. Most people who are mad are simply mad that this game isn't a good Fallout game. That said, I ain't mad I'm just wicked disappointed and underwhelmed.
