I wonder if they'll keep the (amazing) mechanic of SPEECH IS BEST SKILL EVER
Get max speech. Win game. Easy. As. That. :I

[Putnam]

Just like every Fallout game that wasn't 3!

[KingofstarrySkies]

no but seriously just guns speech and then like medicine or repair and you win everytime

[SOLDIER First]

If you want to cheese the game, of course.
If you're a sucker for characters that kind of make sense (like me) you get a personality and relevant SPECIAL attributes, skills, perks, weapons, items, clothes, companions, quests completed, lives ruined, etc.

[KingofstarrySkies]

Of course, I still do that. I just almost always have Speech. Because it's the 'FUCK IT' button.

It would be nice if Bethesda could put some actual effort into their game mechanics. I'm sort of scurred to see what they've learned from Skyrim's uh, refinements.

DAE SPECIAL will become EIA because Skyrim?

[Putnam]

yeah, I know for a fact that SPECIAL is still SPECIAL next version. Yeah, Fallout 3 actually did dumb it down quite a bit (tag skills as a flat bonus etc.), but they're not going to switch to ES-style experience just because they did that earlier.

I actually wasn't that averse to Skyrim's changes, but I skipped Oblivion so there's that. I've played too many games with grand unified dump stats and swimming into a wall for hours to train athletics isn't really interesting gameplay. Neither is jumping everywhere to train acrobatics. Sorry, it's just not.

[Iceblaster]

I myself would like ES styled leveling. In terms of skill advancements equal levels.

Besides that, I myself have grown fine to the good old 357 revolver.

It's quite fun to have a firefight and turn around to the guy you shot at the start to get their übermensch gun out of their hands and pump six shots of death in their face :3

Believe it or not, I actually have nostalgia trips about running around the overworld in Oblivion constantly jumping and going through my rotation of spells (including four separate featherweight ones, though that was as much about letting me carry obscene amounts of crap as it was grinding experience).

Energy weapons > bullet weapons

Really depends on the game.

Fallout New Vegas? BIG NOPE!... Unless you have New World Blues

[SOLDIER First]

I do, but I'm following the recommended level (HAH) so I haven't started it.

[BurnedToast]

Energy weapons > bullet weapons

Explosives>energy weapons>bullet weapons>filthy peasant melee weapons

for the sake of completeness.

(actually I don't think I ever did a melee run, maybe I should play it again....)
