Fallout 4

It actually looks like we'll have lower stats this time. I'm pretty sure you can at best get 4 in almost every stat.

If anyone was worried about Troy Baker, fear not as it's been mentioned a Brian T. Delaney will be voicing the male and Courtenay Taylor the female protagonist. We're getting Jack from Mass Effect. Fitting.

I'm playing New Vegas to get in tone. I hope this game has that 'massive' feeling 3/NV have.

Good development. I will buy this game.

Took some time off to play this game. ****ing hope it's good!

Anyone know yet if the Mass Effect wheel has completely neutered the speech, terrifying presence, lady/man killer dialogue options? I love those.

Not sure. I guess they will wait for reviews.

Oh wait you can see the Lady Killer perk in the Character System trailer so that pretty much confirms it. Derp.

What video is that?

Oh, you are talking about that 1:30 min long video.

I understand people's frustration but we should probably wait until the game comes out and see how they do the dialogue.

In the end, if it immerses me more into the game than the dialogue version, I'm cool with that. I always thought it was a bit dumb to have not character talk. Having a voice in Mass Effect was more effective than Dragon Age Origins, where you are basically a mute.

I can imagine my character's personality better though with how Origins did it. In Mass Effect, my character will more or less always be some variant of Renegade Shepard or Paragon Shepard, due to the limited lines, choices, and the singular way of voicing a line.

True but we are assuming Fallout devs are copying the dialogue options from Mass Effect verbatim.

We are getting our info from trailers. Has their been a video regarding the dialogue system? I'm not sure.

But I do think they did the right thing changing the dialogue from the previous game. It might be for the better?

If this wasn't Bethesda, who clearly take the time and care to make a game, I would agree with the sentiment but I think people should give the system a chance.

Perhaps. In the older Fallouts, the textbox gives you a list of dialogue choices that tell you exactly what your character is going to say in full sentences. Fallout 4 has you selecting the option GET FOOD and your character says "What? Food? Sure but go away now and let me think" instead of "get me food." Like, he still tells the robot to get food but the extra words you didn't see coming and that's the issue some have with it.

Me, I don't hate it for I usually get what I want to select and that's why I don't mind Mass Effect's dialogue system but it wouldn't have hurt if Bethesda kept the textbox and let the protagonist still talk then everyone would be happy.

I know I will.

True. You might be right. It could worst than previous games. Maybe the Mass Effect dialogue tree will not work for the type of game Fallout is known for. Or maybe having it makes the story, quests and immersion much more successful.

Personally, I really enjoyed the dialogue system in Mass Effect. It made sense for the type of game it is. It's pure story driven RPG and having a voiced actor playing the parts made that game incredible to play through. Occassionally, the dialogue option you choose does something crazy but out of a million voiced lines, I will let them past.

I honestly cannot wait for this title. I'm very excited for it. I've been trying to stay away from most videos and news. Want to go in completely blind.

I agree.

With the upcoming release of Halo 5 (which looks pretty good....), they have released the opening cinematic, the opening music and etc and etc.

I'm happy with a snippit of gameplay from a mission or something because your unlikely going to see the exact same thing (aside from scripted events) but the opening cinematic? Isn't that the point of playing the game?

I guess that's how you promote games now. They must be doing this because of people eating it all up.

But not Bethesda. I'm pretty sure it's just trailers describing perk abilities and what was presented at E3. They know everyone loves it.

You are probably right. The perk abilities are pretty well known anyways. There will be news ones and the old ones will probably altered but you know there will be a Bloody Mess perk and others.
