There is nothing wrong with having an old school world map to travel around on, and preferably one like in F1/F2 where you are free to travel and explore anywhere you want. All the locations of interest can still be 3D for the first person perspective, which you enter when you get there, while...

Not so the TES crowd. In the Eldar Scrolls you don't have to make any real choices, ever. That is the very heart of Bethesda's games. You can be the Head of the Magic Guild, Thieves Guild, Fighters Guild, Assassains Guild, simultaneously, while also be a Dragonslayer Superhero, perform services...

Maybe if the voice acting is noncommittal, bland and unemotional enough, modders will actually be able to cut up usable parts from the 13000 lines of dialogue (13k each for fem/male or 6.5k each?) the protagonist allegedly has, and create new spoken dialogue for quest mods and such. Considering...

Why not simply give the player the choice of playing the game on more unforgiving/realistic settings, but not forcing them to do it? Why would anyone complain about eating and drinking in NV when it was optional? Pillars of Eternity for instance lets you choose between having companions die...

Ahhh. That makes a lot more sense!

Look at the weight of those PA suits! 15 and 21 lbs is just ridiculous. Wasn't it more like 50 in F3/NV (which still is way too low when player carry capacity is 25 lbs per point of strength)? So now an average person can carry five to seven suits of PA in his backpack?

When the fecal matter hit the fan, they explicitly said it was a mistake to introduce the paid mod model for a mature game as Skyrim, which already has such a huge modding scene. So it was fairly evident that they were planning on using the same paid mod concept for F4. With all the negative...

Isn't Obsidian busy building free-to-play tank games these days (and I still don't know how that happened)?

Ohh, the anticipation of getting to hear "myself" speak Bethesda's brilliantly written dialogue out loud! And what I'll actually say will be a surprise, too! The lack of info on the editor (will one be released at all, and if so, with the game or months later, as with Skyrim?) and modding in...

And if Beth is worried about the more casual gamers not liking it, make it optional like in NV. That way everyone wins. Or is the ego of your average F3 superfan so fragile, that he doesn't like the idea of other people actually preferring and enjoying a slightly higher level of challenge than...

The funniest thing here is that Bethesda in fact made the Capital Wasteland into a dead, boring, endless desert. It's just brown, dry and sterile. New Vegas' Mojave desert actually has more vegetation than what you find in Fallout 3! In reality, D.C. has like 120 rainy days annually, on average...

This I agree with. I didn't find the civil war storyline in Skyrim particularly compelling, mainly due to Bethesda's limitations when it comes to story writing and dialogue, but at least the two sides were portrayed in a somewhat balanced and human manner. In my opinion, it compares favorably to...

Is he *shudder* in it? Or is he too busy starring in Fallout 4 as Mecha Liberty Optimus Freedom Prime Barbara (I forget the name) again?

Two years from now, Bethesda's people will be all busy doing TES VI. Making a whole new Fallout game, albeit one using the same engine and a lot of the same resources, would then require them to hire a full new development team. Doing that is both costly and risky. It might make a lot more...

I'm so unbelievably hyped about this game announcement!:crazy::crazy::crazy: I could hardly sleep last night because of all the excitement!:dance::dance::dance: Melee combat! Snake men..or, eh, women! More party customization! Drone buddies! Looting and a fuller inventory system! The whole...

Yes. It only has articles mentioning the early sales figures released by Bethesda (which are quoted on Wikipedia and many other places). I can find nothing mentioning how well the games have done in the long term. I'm pretty sure those are the vgchartz numbers (...

Eh, what? I asked you a straight question. You didn't answer. Therefore I ask again: on what do you base your claim that F:NV "wasn't nearly as big [a] monetary success" as F3? Where did you get that information? I have on several occasions tried to find out which of the two games sold...

What are your sources for this claim? No official sales figures for either game have been released, to my knowledge. However, it has been publicized that F3 sold around 4.7 million copies the first two months after release, which can be compared to F:NV selling 5 million copies in only 20 days...

I have a hard time deciding if I want to play the beta or wait for the full release. ATM I'm leaning towards holding off, but if the wait gets too long... Also, the screen shot got a very nice feel to it. The shadows cast by the rangers look great.

Yes, and why would people care about android slavery specifically, when all of this human slavery is going around? Not to mention all other atrocities towards living people that are so prevalent in both FO3 and F:NV. Just look at how your average raiders like to decorate their hangouts. Or at...
