Will this forum run out of topic material too fast?

Post » Fri Nov 27, 2015 8:21 am

Maybe the broken search function on this forum is part of an evil Bethesda plot to ensure we rehash this stuff over and over again.

Pfft - as if anyone here would use search even if it worked flawlessly. :rofl:

It would be likely to see them again though... They certainly add colour to the game hahaha (no sarcasm here)

I am one of those that the less I know about the game before I play, the better. I don't want to know the plot, the factions, weapons and armor, setting any of it. I don't even want to know the Tutorial before I play it for the first time. I want it revealed to me as I play the game for the first time.

It makes it difficult to moderate some of the topics around here, especially in the month or two prior to release when we start to get more and more information.

To be fair, those topics were pretty mild compared to the complaining in Skyrim General back in 2011 :tongue:

For example, there were threads worrying and complaining that there is no slider for body fat. Not muscles. Body fat. People wanted to be fat...

More power to them, I guess.

Well, the forum dealing with Fallout 4 before the reveal was in operation for years and didn't seem to run out of things to discuss. I am pretty sure we can keep this one alive until November.

Lol....I can appreciate that, and that would be a svcky part of your "job".

I don't want to know anything about the plot, but I am interested in learning more about equipment, skills/perks, and gameplay mechanics

You have no idea how happy I was to see a fat/slim/muscular body shape triangle in ESO. It's awesome. I want it in all Bethesda games from now on (I probably won't see it, but I can hope!) It wouldn't be as immersive with just me instead of hundreds of players of different heights and builds running around, but still, such little things greatly enhance my game experience.

Yeah, me too. I need to know enough about how things work to create a character I want to keep and avoid 'restartitis'. Don't want to waste part of the game on a character I won't be interested in seeing to the end.

I think we already have. They threw too much at us all at once, and we tore it to shreds. If Bethesda were smart, they would just let out a minute or two of new gameplay featuring a new enemy type, new weapons, new armor, a new companion, a better look at the diverse environments, or a better look at some of the new mechanics every week or so. That would help further build the hype and satiate the forums and fans.

Wasn't there even a thread about whether Lydia shaved her armpits or not?

Nope. Once all possible topics have been discussed and debated ad nauseum, Bethesda will push a button, and all our memories will be wiped. The discussion will begin anew. :)

Since we are all androids. :D

A hungry ghost, endlessly craving for more, never satisfied.

I wonder if Bethesda has any understanding of the "desire" and addiction to the game the create, a weekly feed of at least one picture or a short video, and/or a new detail (however mundane) is very much appreciated.

There's like "exactly" 20 weeks until the game is released (unless I am mistaken), I am quite sure that before the game is out there will have been released a lot more than just 20 pictures and/or videos and new interviews, ofc I realize that there will be more as it gets closer to the release, but they need to have some weekly releases of info, otherwise some of us might not survive.

What a pathetic pointless post this was. --^

No, we're not going to run out of topic material. I imagine the old 'why is our character hetero/voiced/forced to be a married veteran with child?' topics will re-emerge once more, and when new information is revealed, there will be an influx of more complaints. Sorry to say this, but this is kind of our way. :D Half of us will praise it and drool over it; the other half will find flaws and complain about it. Expect it to absolutely explode when the story is finally revealed to us.

The Elder Scrolls have foretold this.

We never run out of topics.

We just recycle old ones over and over and over again. ;)

We will of course have the new and returning members posting topics we have already repeatedly gone over.

> Looks over at Halo Waypoint and Bungie.net <

Nah, I think we can keep talking about the same eleven things for at least a couple months. I believe in us.

Sarcasm aside, no. We'll come up with something to talk about. I mean, if nothing else there's a nigh-infinite amount of 'How many kinds of 'X' do you think there'll be?' and 'Do you think 'X' will appear in Fallout 4?' threads to be made at the very least.

Or we could go spam 'CROSSBOWS' somewhere.. :teehee:
