Played some of it. My impressions are...not really sure what to think. I haven't done everything available, but the maps I played so far feel pretty flat so to speak, and though I actually think aerial fights are really cool, I don't know if there's just enough stuff in them. Going to tr...

Head shots in the context of games like this are always going to be a no go. Frankly, I'm perfectly fine with it. Being able to completely cheese a game by landing a not too difficult to make hit and killing everything left and right when most NPC's don't have the proper ability to dodge...

Well I guess not gay since you're in a heterosexual marriage at the beginning, maybe just bi... but you can be married and have a kid and be gay, it happens... Oh yeah, it happens. I actually know a guy that had this happen to him. That entire stint was fucked up in its entirety. And yes, most ...

Not entirely sure if this is a bug or not, but when fighting a Glowing One, you know those Radiation AoE things they do? Well, one of the Ferals I didn't blow into chunks came back to life . And it was a Legendary enemy of all things. That was something I didn't see coming. Didn't seem t...

I do wish there was more dialogue choice. I know this sounds overly peculiar but the character's intonation in dialogue doesn't match my roleplaying. I can agree with that. I do say that I am pleasantly surprised by it on the whole, and think the whining over in the TES forums over on Bethe...

Man, supply lines are really helpful. Letting you share resources across settlements was something I really wanted to see, and I'm really glad that there's a system in place for it. Regarding the uselessness of V.A.N.S, I wish it was did what I speculated it would. My original thought is tha...

I've been exploring them a bit more. So far, you can equip your settlements with Artillery once you get to a certain point with the Minutemen, meaning you can rain down hell on enemies provided you have coverage for it. Don't know how far it extends, but I'm hoping its substantial. Oh, a...

Prices are reduced to a reasonable amount once you invest in trading. With the right traders, you can resupply just about anything you need. The major supply shipments are effectively cut down to 100-150, so if you're overhauling a settlement, its pretty substantial. So I decided to take Codswor...

@Chuckman: Caps so far have been extremely useless so far...is what I was originally going to say. Going to pop over in Diamond City to see if its not a leveled system in place, but I finally got the Minutemen up and running for real, and their supplies are much more comprehensive then any other tra...

I'm father into the Minutemen quest. As far as I can tell, there doesn't seem to be any friction between them and any other factions. Which makes sense, since they seemingly are more concerned with actually protecting people from immediate threats more then anything else. I took back the Cas...

(I don't think the story elements in the intro really force the player into anything any more than previous games, I mean you're never -truly- a blank slate, you have a background) While true except for maybe the Courier to some extent, having a wife and child is a little more concr...

^^I'm actually just before that point in the MQ. I find that its a nice excuse for a breather and just exploring the wasteland and colleciting supplies before running off anywhere crazy. Regarding ammo, I've felt like I've been running low on all sorts of things so far, which is the pola...

Having to take time out of your run to train your Skills. That's really one of the first times I've heard that complaint, outside the context of Skyrim's kind of "meh" crafting system.

^^Yes...and no. I prefer the gaining Skills by using them mechanic, and honestly you completely lost me at the whole grinding thing. Skyrim was bad due to the complete lack of options outside of a certain Skill set. Really, its Perk Trees are conceptually the best of both worlds. You grow your Skill...

Being farther into the game, I can say that its not. At least, so far. That entire stint with it is more or less to show it off, and I haven't had any other instances where I felt like I needed Power Armor to accomplish something. Anywho, spoilers. Remember when I said the Brotherhood was around...

Don't get me wrong, that's exactly why I liked Fallout's Skills/Perks as well, and I still think that's a better model to follow. However, if Skills followed a chart like what Fallout 4 is doing, AND had your perks like Plasma Spazz separately, I think it'd be a very robust syste...

Also... the perk trees are the skills? How does this work? Exactly the same, but merged. The only thing this really does is that you're unable to buff skills like Lockpicking or Hacking just enough to cross the threshold into being able to pick a certain type of lock. This has always been a fla...

See, I generally do not play Hawke or Shepard for role playing. With those two games, its really about the supporting cast, because lets face it, they're the ones with the personalities you care about. I'll take that back with Hawke though. Despite being the PC, (s)he more or less fe...
