    Have we heard if the Flamer returns?

    I kinda want to make Emil Vasterstrom from Stand Still, Stay Silent as my character and focus on explosives and all the fire you can imagine.
    There hasn't been a single Fallout without the Flamer, no worries about it making it in I would think.

    Yes. In the Gamescom/Quakecon footage they use a weapon that shoots fireballs.

    Do we know if you have to have the associated perks to use mods at all? Or is it just to craft them/apply them yourself?

    Believe you do. Otherwise can't apply it. At least that's what the E3 modding video gives us.

    Reading the perk list I still think i'm going to go with 4/8/1/4/3/6/2, but Charisma is definitely going to get bumped up to 6 early on. Gotta go all-in on that stronghold stuff.

    Props to Bethesda for actually making me think about my initial SPECIAL allocation.

    Going to have to actually throw a few under the bus this time and make some choices.

    Now at all of the perks have been leaked I have been spending more time planning out my first build while I eagerly await my new PC's arrival. Right now it looks like I'll be going S2 P4 E1 C3 I9 A1 L8 and bumping strength up to 3 early for access to Armorer. I'm thinking it will be fun to run a high crit, energy and pistol (though I may drop some points into Rifleman too for longer ranges) build making use of Lone Wanderer.

    Wonder Woman is in the fucking game. Wonder. Woman. There are some story bits in there, but they are Bethesda story bits so it's pretty safe. It concerns in-game music. Literally, an in-game singer who makes music.

    Not all dialog works like that though. In one of the videos you go back to a greyed out option as it seemingly wasn't a response that advanced to the next dialog cross.

    Another build that might be fun is S9 P1 E7 C4 I1 A1 L5 and make use of Idiot Savant and Dogmeat to be a big dumb brute with a doggy companion that loves smashing things with other things. Will probably save that for a second character just so I have an idea of how to handle enemies and melee combat.

    The main song she sings:
    Goodneighbor, in the town Goodneighbor

    is actually really good. And it would seem she has a few songs in the game.

    Also, I still can't get over how epic that Super Mutant combat footage is. From the battle music (it sounds right out of a 50/60's sci-fi movie), to the ambient exploration music, to how large downtown Boston looks - ugh.

    Also the inventory system doesn't pause combat or break immersion. All over it.

    EDIT: Damnit too many details. Apperantly
    Trinity Towers
    is a real place in Boston? I feel like Bostonians or people who have lived there an extended period of time are going to go nuts over this game.

    Isn't Lynda Carter married to one of the high ups at Bethesda or Zenimax? She's been in previous Bethesda games so it's not really a huge surprise though it seems like she gets a more interesting role this time as opposed to voicing random npcs.

    I wonder how many characters the Critical Role crew voices in this. I know Liam o'brian and laura Bailey have been in elder scrolls/fallout before.

    Didn't notice any of the old anime standbys in 3 like I did with NV.

    Bethesda seem to use a stable of actors I don't hear a lot outside of their games.

    So a slight Hacking change:
    Instead of telling you how many letters you have correct it now just says Likeness=X.
    I've been trying to think of what this change does and the only thing I can think of is letters with different total letters?

    That'll do it.

    Here is the Preston Garvey scene from MS E3. Shows some Dogmeat commands and knife combat: https://vid.me/C1JI

    I believe he started over because he didn't have Dogmeat on this section last time.

    That load time though. . .

    EDIT: You can BARELY make it out by the Cross Dialog is more than "Question", "Neutral", "Bad" and "Good" in this conversation with Preston Garvey.

    I've read somewhere that load time on fast travel can be up to a minute.

    Can't find is again so who knows how accurate that is. Could be some major load-times in this though

    This load to get into the building with Garvey was about 10 seconds. On the plus side, the interior is WAY fucking bigger than the outside. Straight up TARDIS technology.

    Really like the song, and love that they're including some original music. Nice touch to make the Wasteland feel more alive and growing.

    Oh another thing, headshots are still headshots right? A low luck stat shouldn't matter when it comes to being the kinda guy who shoots people in the head with a high power rifle? The crit meter is just replacing random body shot criticals, yes?

    Well a headshot unless you lose a diceroll. However the guy in the combat videos from yesterday was dropping fools with what I didn't think were headshots. Like one-shotting Super Mutants with it.

    Headshots were not criticals before. That's a separate multiplier.

    Plus like making a person of color in RPG's I always like the female bad ass. That way I can roam the wilderness as a stastically small hero character in modern fiction.

    After a bender of a weekend I think I'm done with these spoilers. We've gotten enough info to know that "Yup, this is Fallout: Bethesda Edition" and that should inform your purchase. The only agonizing decision now will be whether to grab it on PC at launch as well as PS4.

    I opted for both. In my defense, the PC version was cheap, and the ps4 version free after trading in some games. And got me into the raffle for a giant Vault Boy...

    Yea I'm probably going to grab the PC since I got the game for 0 bucks after trading in MGSV and using a 10 pre-order giftcard and and old gift certificate. I was hoping Nuuvem had the game for a song but it doesn't seem to be any better than GMG.
