I'm not sure what the resistance to vehicles is. Lots of people over many threads I've read are against it. The most common argument is that having a vehicle can help you avoid random encounters. Well, duh! In Fallout 2, that was one of the very few truly safe places to keep your crap, was in the trunk of your Highwayman.

How many people play one of these types of games and do NOT fast travel? Unless you're really working at it, I'd say that virtually everyone fast travels at some point or another in these games. Oh, and having a vehicle in F2 did not prevent you from having random encounters; it just got you to them a little quicker.
Personally, I want more places I can choose to call my own. F3 was on the right track, FNV gave you quite a few choices, as did Skyrim, although Oblivion was pretty chintzy, for the most part. Some of them were pretty good, but some were downright lame.

November 2015!
Been watching some of the promos from E3....I guess I know what I'll be doing for the rest of my life if it lives up to the hype. Now the big decision is: preorder (really tempting) or wait until GOTY.
Oh, and console or PC? If either, I have to buy new equipment. With the PC, I'm mainly looking at mods down the road (and retrograding other games).

it all depends on the 'bonuses' offered ... for Fallout NV there were 4 different pre-order deals each with its own bonuses ....
Amazon
Game Stop
Best Buy
Steam
I bought all 4 ..... I also ordered the Collectors Edition [yeah I am that big of a Fallout Fan]
I replaced my Gaming Computer last yr with Top Shelf Hardware, so I an G2G for another 4 yrs
..... I got 5 out of my last system, after losing the Network Port and finally the Video Card died.
is there is a Steam 'Season Pass' like Borderlands and Watchdogs I might get that .... rather than having to purchase the DLC Seperately
I also get the Game Guide ..

From what I've seen, it's everything but co-op...for now. That big a game world almost demands co-op at a minimum.

Back to my original thought, I've been around the Commonwealth enough now to say that co-op in this game would be so frickin' awesome. At the very least, it gives you someone to help you haul crap and to watch your back without bumping into you or walking in front of you at every contact. I don't know how many times I've shot Paladin Danse, but it's a good thing he's unkillable. I lined up on a Legendary Raider last night for a head shot with a silenced .50 cal sniper rifle, and just as I pulled the trigger, guess who walked in front of my and took the shot to the leg.
Idiot.
That ended up with me almost getting killed because of that.
indeed ...
... I have almost 100 hours in if I haven't broken it already
I have repeatedly shot Curie in the head [yes that is a bit of a spoiler] because she won't quite rushing ahead once an encounter kicks off
there are a couple videos on-line of people trying to disarm the Jamaica Plain Treasure Cache laser grid, only to have their companions wander into the grid
one was Dogmeat, the others was Nick [I think]

I happened to see a video about that, so I knew in advance, but I can totally see that. Plus, per the video, you can reset the grid and go back through and come out with a crap load of resources from dismantling the lasers.
The one I haven't figured out is that guy from Diamond City's meth lab. There's nothing there that I can see, and I can't disable the lasers.
apparently there is a note in the Ghouls pocket .... with the correct order
... otherwise just go across the roof and hack the terminal
I just made a deal with Cooke [taphouse bar tender], did the deal, shot everyone ... talked to the Ghoul Women
.... Cooke tried to kill her I gunned him down, raided the Meth Cookers
that brought its own problems as a witness ratted me to the local crime boss
.... he would have taken 2k caps, there is a speech check for 1k ... I just killed him later - I hate gangsters like him

My companions in this game suck. I mean, they suuuuuck! Oh, by this game, I mean I started over from just before you leave vault 111. I did the Minutemen quest, and everything went like it was supposed to, with the remaining people now at Sanctuary, camped out like welfare queens. All they did is complain..."we don't have any water...we don't have any beds...we don't have any food...." Damn, how about I wipe you all out? Ungrateful bastards.
So anyway, if the travel companions aren't trapping me in stairwells, or charging into combat when I'm trying to be all stealthy, or running into the line of fire, frickin' Garvey is like, "Oh, are you almost dead? I guess I could fire a few rounds in your general direction." At least Danse, as big a pain as he was over all to travel with, was pretty awesome in a firefight.
