Bethesda Softworks - Fallout 4 Hints?

Both Fallouts struggled with not nearly enough stuff on the radio to compensate for the hundreds of hours people play the games. Repetition happens very, very frequently. They either need to rethink the idea of radios in general, or add hundreds of tracks, commercials, etc to keep the content fresh.

It'd also be nice to see Bethesda learn from the modding community too. Bethesda companions are so cardboard as to be pathetic. If you compare Lydia to Vilja or some of the Interesting NPC characters, Lydia looks like she was written by an imbecile. Even the companions from FNV don't compare to free stuff done by the community(Willow for example). Each companion needs to have thousands of lines of dialogue, which should be possible on the new consoles. Bethesda was limited by ancient console technology but this shouldn't be an excuse this time. I'd rather have 4,000 lines from a nobody than 50 lines by Ashton Kutcher or Daniel Craig.

While I'm at it, I'd love to see the timeline move up a bit. It's crazy to think that humans wouldn't rebuild. Let's get rid of most of the debris and start to have some semblance of cleanliness and structure in populated areas. Leave garbage for ruined areas only.

They are probably including him so there is some connectivity with the story in FO3. I didn't mind meeting him in person, although the interaction was on the weak side.

Having more radio content would make a nice, free, DLC; that way they don't bulk up the game download.

I don't.

I can't get into the Fallout setting . A Fallout 4 announcement means nothing for me.

Where's the "report heresy" option?

Yeah, that was great!

Yep I suppose I might have been inclined to fork over a few bucks for a DLC that just adds a new radio station

I'd rather not have any dialogue from Ashton Kutcher at all.

I.. I wanted to write a reply to that, but I think I'm just going to link to this video and let people judge for themselves: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqvV8XLpZKA

Seriously, I'd buy it. More interesting than Gun Runners Arsenal IMO.

What did you want to say with that link? That the uploader there is plain retarded: she smokes if she has a lighter in a postapoc world?

My guess would be that the mod is shite, which, at least based on the vid, it is.

As for Fallout 4 by Bethesda, no thanks .

I'll take a Fallout 4 by Bethesda any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

There's not exactly a plethora of studios out there that can do an open-world FO better or are even willing to try.

Well if Fallout 4 is anything like FO 3, consider me a day one purchaser.

Even if FNV was way better for me than FO3 I don't think is right to hate Bethesda, atleast they can potentialy convert with such games that they label as RPG someone into genre, last game that I played that I enjoyed alot was Wasteland for the first time but I doubt some one would get into the genre with that game as his first experience.

Why did you comment if you clearly didn't watch it past the first minute or so? But given that you're lazy, here's the deal: the mod is bad and creepy. It's wish fulfillment (the companion starts giving you a naked dance as long as you've given her enough teddy bears to raise her "happiness points") for neckbeards with horrible voice acting to boot. So, seeing it cited as an excellent mod and better than Obsidian's companion honestly confused me.

Yeah, I can't even stand watching gameplay clips on YouTube where some dweeb has the game soundtrack blasting while he's doing all his button mashing. I do really like the way they did the radios in FO3 and New Vegas, though. I always leave them turned on in the lairs so I can listen while I'm dicking around with my equipment and decorating and such. Seems a good compromise. Personally, I liked the the NV stations better along with everything else about NV, but FO3 was still a lot of fun and I'm sure FO4 will be as well.

The Willow Companion mod is excellent, though that guy who made the youtube video seems to be a fuckwit.

Exactly. Willow has gotten tons of praise heaped upon the mod by anyone with a brain. It is lightyears ahead of Lydia's, "Oh look, here's a cave."
