How much humor is in AoD?

So far the screenshots seem to have everything from fallout that i love, save one thing: the humor.

So i'm just wondering, is it there? =)

We are sorry, Bethesda took it all for their next game, and left nothing for us.

There's some funny wittiness in many dialogues. Some of the quest solutions and scenarios are hilarious. I didn't see any outright marvelous comedy gold like "Nice hat Calamity Jane" or "You stupid git" in the quests I got a chance to read, but I'd say there's a strong, ironic undercurrent. I got the feeling VD really took the setting seriously and made it believable while still retaining his humorous "edge".

What the hell are you talking? Humor means slapstick and swearing, you moron. There is not nearly enough swearing in the dialogues to call them humorous and I've yet to see any slapstick. This game is gonna be drier than a hot day in the Sahara.

Like the one example from van buren:
*slightly modified because i don't really remember exactly..*


You meet a cop. You..

1) Greet him.
2) Ask about the killer.
3) Put on your sunglasses, make a pose, call him betty and ask him out for dinner.

Fourth-wall breaking, bad jokes and too much self-referential humour killed Fallout 2 for me. Sarcasm, yes, but nothing lame or "immersion-breaking" like this.

So, VD, there won't be pop-culture references, humorous humor, dopefishes, lame humor, stupid humor etc.
Just how are you going to sell it to anybody?
