Fallout 4 Pre-Announcement Bullshit Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Athelas]

Mods will fix it.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Even if it were real who cares? We already know Fallout 4 is coming. That's not some secret.

I guess the hype part is the "Push Master to XBONE/PS4" options, implying you can use mods in console versions.

Naw, the developer version of the Creation Kit has more options than the one that'll be available to modders.

So it's confirmed to be set around Boston? Can't wait to hear Bethsoft's version of a Boston accent on all the NPCs :D

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Ahh Dude, wicked hawt down dere at fenway fuckin paaak

I'm looking for a water chip. Shiny little thing. Have you seen it?

It's funny that line gets so much shit when you spend the first third of Torment (Codex #1 RPG!) going around asking strangers on the street "I lost my journal - have you seen it?"

Yeah, except they always say "what?? a journal? people don't write here anymore, nobody would want such a thing!"
But then of course you find shitloads of written things, so I dunno. It also felt weird to me to be asking about "a journal"

And to be fair, your Dad really is the only middle-aged guy in the wasteland as far as I can remember. Everyone else is either like 20 - 30 years old or 80 years old.

 

[Onholyservicebound]

Morairty, Jericho, the angry black man at the door, Burke, and the doctor are all middle aged.

 

[King Crispy]

If I had to choose any city, in any part of the world, in which to base a post-apocalyptic game, the last one I would ever choose or even think about would be Boston.

Idiots.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

What city would you choose?

 

[shihonage]

Oakland.

 

[Metro]

New Orleans. I lived in Boston for a couple of years. It's a great city but despite having a lot of Revolutionary War era history the number of remarkable landmarks/attractions is fairly low. It's just a big northeastern metroplex. D.C. and Las Vegas make good settings for obvious reasons.

Then again... Boston has the T so Bethesderp can make copious use of shitty subway tunnels again.

 

[Menckenstein]

Pressure cooker.

 

[Curious_Tongue]

New Orleans is a good GTA setting.

Mafia presence, voodoo, historical buildings...

 

[shihonage]

Chisinau, Moldova.

 

[Tharkin2]

What is wrong with Boston as a setting?

Fenway park Home of the Green Monster.

Bunker Hill.

One of the DLC had a ghoul hunting down old political enemies.If you try I bet you can come up with a political family with strong Boston ties.

There is an Army R&D facility in Natick(They are working on gear for the future soldier program)

Plus I live an hour away and would get a kick out of having set there.Why do you want to make me sad?

 

[BigWeather]

New Orleans is a good GTA setting.

I'd love to see a New Orleans GTA, maybe set it before, during, and after Katrina or something. They kind of missed an opportunity there, as GTA4's subtext is 9/11 and GTA5's the Great Recession. A GTA set in New Orleans around Katrina could deal with race.

Though the GTA I really want to see is one set in 70's San Fierro (San Francisco).

 

[Major_Blackhart]

A racist white protagonist for a GTA game? Nice. Nice.

 

[DalekFlay]

I would be very wary of moving Fallout out of the US. That parody of US culture is an important part of the series. So if they want to stay on the East coast, Boston is as good as anywhere else really.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Why not move to the midwest? I dunno, it seems like just as good a spot as any.

 

[Lemming42]

Unless Bethesda step up their writing quality (which they just might), it's best they stick to the East coast.

 

[Jaesun]

Why do people continue to give a shit about this fucking shitty action game?

 

[Night Goat]

Morbid curiosity. Sometimes it's fun to watch a train wreck.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

It's like a gangrape. You just can't look away.
