Only seven more days left before you can no longer cancel your preorder.

Cancel....my.....preorder?
 
NEVER.

My hype has been kept in check recently by the fact I expect many release day bugs and also getting The Witcher 3 to keep me busy till then. But re-watching the E3 presentation and the trailers makes me think that even if it turns out to be Fallout 3.Newvegas, I'll love it all the same. Anything they left out (and they didn't miss much) can be corrected by mods. Surprisingly, the thing that has me most excited now is the layered armor system that's reminiscent of Morrowind. I can wear my fancy suit and put shiny metal armor over it.

To be honest I couldn't care less about the dialogue and such, I have the other Fallouts for that, I just wanna make a badass looking character with badass looking power armor and weapons and have a lot of fun in doing so. And in my personal opinion, I actually like having a voiced protagonist, makes emotional moments (hopefully there are some) better sometimes. Though, I still don't know if it works in conjunction with Fallout, but hopefully it does.

dunno why people think fallout 4 looks bad. like are people blind or something?

it looks WAY better than witcher 3, which its graphics got so badly nerfed from what they showed it.

And fallout 4 compared to fallout 3 is, you can't even prepare it...even modded fallout 3 looks like trash compared to fallout 4 (granted fallout 3 is a lot older). and fallout 4 looks better and more crisp than even skyrim did, I thought skyrim without graphics mods looked really ugly lol...though modded skyrim looks epic as heck

unless they are pulling a witcher on us, and when its released they'll come up with a BS excuse that it was just cinematics and the graphics are worse...lol...which mods would fix anyway

That's my exact thought, the fact that they were up front about it, not parading it with graphics that won't actually be in the game, they are being honest, and I like that. I think the witcher looks better raw graphics wise, but it lacks in overall style imho, Fallout has always had a clear and distinct style, which I also like.

That's the thing, if your big complaint is the graphics... sure, don't buy it. The rest of us will have a suite of high-end graphics mods a few weeks/months down the line.

yeah lol. Some of the first mods, after the nude ones, will be texture mods lol. Which nude mods are kinda texture mods anyway, but you get the point though nude mods might actually come later this time, since the character creator is so much more advanced. In any case, there will be so many mods to enhance the game in various ways.

With that said, my suggestion is to avoid ALL gameplay mods until after all the patches and dlcs are done being released. After getting skyrim at release, I remember needing to reinstall a lot cause mods broke badly after certain patches and expansions. Texture mods are fine though

[Flying Dice]

Eh, nude mods are pretty much necessary if you don't like the Bethesda potato-people with square fingers and lumpy faces. It's nice when they have an option that's the high-res textures and better model without full frontal nudity, but either is better than vanilla models and textures on your character when everything else is super-nice. The only strictly non-nude body mod I can think of was one for Skyrim, and that only messed with the textures and didn't look particularly great (though still better than vanilla, natch).

well, yeah...like

my skyrim character

looks amazing.

but skyrim vanilla characters don't look that bad though compared to oblivion and fallout 3. it was a huge improvement in skyrim, but yeah, modded characters do look better.

I'd rather want to see Minimal Requirements screenshots.
But that's just me I guess.

Watch the leaked videos. That's the XBone version. Going by the last couple games that's going to be a bit worse looking than the lowest settings you can get on PC without ini tweaks.

What if I cannot access those leaks due to them being removed or something?

Potato-cam vids are still up.

ONE WEEK TO GO BEFORE RELEASE

HYPE HYPE HYPE

[Yoink]

HYYYYYYYP- wait I can't even afford this game, goddamn.


Still hype, though. Just gotta persuade my fraaaaands to buy it so I can borrow it.


Edit: I was gonna say "Doesn't [REDACTED] pretty much confirm the game's setting?" but then I realised [REDACTED] is a place name used more often than a $2 prostitute on New Year's Eve.

[miauw62]

The game is set in the Boston area, that's been confirmed since shortly after I made this thread.

[DoomOnion]

I really dig the new art style, and I honestly feel like they got the rubber texture of vault suits right this time, as opposed to that glossy vinyl stuff they had in FNV and F3. On the other hand, I see some terrible, terrible textures here and there, and their new volumetric lighting system seems to have pros and cons, it seems to do really well with shadows and overall dynamic lighting effects, but don't look very good when the lighting is equally proportionate(I'm willing to go as far as to say, it looks like modded oblivion).

However, you need to take into account that Bethesda is very good at cutting corners to make their game take as small space as possible. I think that:

a) It is very likely that they will release a HQ texture pack sometime after the release

b) It is a good sign that the 30gb file size of this game is not filled with unimportant things like 4k resolution tire textures.

[Ultimuh]

a) It is very likely that they will release a HQ texture pack sometime after the release

If Skyrim is anything to go by, It's probably not worth the lag.

Especially not when mods do it better months before the thing is released.

Seeing "Red Rocket" gets me every time.
