You say "we were constrained" were you on the dev team for NV?
Can't seem to remember the "explanation given in dialog maybe I never let house live long enough to get that far in it.
It's no secret that New Vegas had a lot of content cut out for time constraints. The Strip and Caesar's Legion in particular were trimmed down. It's also why New Vegas was so much more buggy on launch than the usual Bethesda fare.
Fallout 3 referenced Boston with the Replicated Man and some other random dialog topics about the Commonwealth. It was referenced further in Broken Steel (one of the main story NPCs left to join the Institute) and Poin Lookout (IIRC Desmond came from the Institute, or was associated with them in some way).
I hope we can visit Cape Cod but yeah I like Boston a lot.
I hate to tell you, but it looks like Fenway park became a bustling settlement called Diamond City. Tunnel Sox rule!
That's my favorite part of the trailer and the thing I'm most excited to see.
Overall, not big on Boston. Didn't want it to be the setting when I heard the rumors years ago, still would have preferred it not being the setting now, but I'm less against it than I was previously. Personally would have preferred Washington/Oregon area, Montana, the Dakotas, Colorado, Texas, Florida, Louisiana/Mississippi, and most especially my home state of Arizona.
Arizonans represent, yo. Too bad our home was an utter craphole before Caesar took it over. (then again, that would have been a pretty cool setting)
Fallout Van Buren was supposed to include Arizona and Colorado I believe.
Well I'm not an American myself, so I didn't had any chance to feel that special thrill of seeing the city I'm living in, in the game.
I don't know much about Boston though, don't remember seeing it in other games or movies, so it will be new to me. But I'm happy that it doesn't take place in NY. With so many games and movies taking place on NY I feel like I have learnt all of its sights, squares, and districts,even without ever stepping my feet there.
I'd like to see San Francisco though.
I was hoping for a more urban environment like Fallout 3, so yes.
LOL! I agree. Mojave was just boring all the way around. XD
