I'm expecting "WHY DOES IT KEEP CRASHING!?"

[Aseaheru]

Well, now Im pissed at Amazon. Preorder the darn thing months ago, find out that we are getting our copy about a week after release.

cancel your preorder then...

Im not the only one who paid for it (One of three people, collective effort) and its the pipboy one... Which may be why its going to take so long.

[Neonivek]

This game is WAY too expensive to me anyhow... for a long long while.

And after New Vegas, where the game was as boring as sin until the DLC, I don't want to go without a seasons pass

THEN AGAIN... Fallout 3 was actually a better game... without the DLC

[Graknorke]

IMO Fallout NV was the better game. In general you had more concrete and obvious goals. At first you obviously want to get to The Strip, and after that you're either after Benny or doing stuff in the world that you've had enough time in to be a bit familiar with and understand.
In FO3 you're just kind of dumped into the wasteland and told to kind of find your dad I guess?

Oddly enough to me that was kind of the better goal. You were there to explore until you bumped into the main plot, which you were bound to, and all the side quests until then were very interesting. It actually made exploring very interesting.

New Vegas I was after a guy I didn't really care about and who ultimately didn't matter to the story at all. Yet because there was a main story ALL the side stories absolutely suffered. It made exploring very tedious... Even though every plot was more important then the stupid guy who shot you... Except everyone shoots you. Why is he so special? because he left a calling card? OOooOooooh...

I'll put it this way... I never finished the main storyline to either games, even though I could have at anytime... Because the endings are disappointing no matter what.

[Gabeux]

Oh, are we talking about builds?
I'll probably go with a fairly average, normal character to start with before switching to the always-enjoyable 10 STR, 10 END, 1 INT berserker style melee bruiser and tearing a path of unnecessary destruction and hilarious dialogue across the wasteland. We'll just put it down to brain deterioration whilst in stasis or something. *shrug*       


The only problem I can see with this plan is low INT making customizing things difficult... we shall see.

You might like the Idiot Savant perk for bonus exp, then:
"You're not stupid! Just... different. Randomly receive 3x XP from any action, and the lower your Intelligence, the greater the chance."
Needs 5 luck, though.

Also, with only 4 STR you can already customize your armor AND your melee weapons, which makes your build completely feasible, and probably fun.


And thanks for the heads-up about Pre-loading, I hadn't even noticed. I'll probably pre-load it on monday, though.
I was planning to play as soon as it unlocks...but I'm pretty sure it will unlock around 2-3AM in my timezone. That sucks. I guess I'll have to wake 6am just for that. 

[XhAPPYSLApX]

I am actually going to go for 2 ST, 1 PE, 1 EN, 10 CH, 3 IN, 5 AG, and 6 LK. Because Intimidation sounds like a really fun perk to me, Bethesda games almost never let you intimidate people in combat. So that actually seems like the way to go for me, and the luck perks also sound incredibly fun too, especially Richochet

Why is he so special? because he left a calling card? OOooOooooh...

Apparently post-apocalyptic delivery firms are very dedicated to providing a good service.

Yes I forgot we are playing the ultimate mail man in Fallout NV

[KingofstarrySkies]

He also took your delivery, and executed you. I'd be pretty pissed about it.

Which he took directly to the person you were delivering it to.

[KingofstarrySkies]

...No, he kept it for himself...

[Neonivek]

...No, he kept it for himself...

Right next door.

[KingofstarrySkies]

With his robot, which had the capability to destroy House's entire empire.

To be honest, I'm surprised he didn't just get Victor to chase down Benny.

[Flying Dice]

If only I had preordered. Oh well, uninformed purchases are terrible anyway!
i can't take the waiting oh god

You should still be able to preorder via GMG at a ~20% discount, and they've started sending out codes.
