Does Bethesda have an input site where fans can detail what they'd like to see and not see in the game?
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.
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).
at some point I'd like to see a Co Op version ....
I'll probably still skip the Pip Boy edition. The app is still going to be available, so no worries about 2nd screen.
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.
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.
