Fallout 4

But he was good in Fallout 2. Hell, I'd say he was good in Mass Effect 2, which was only, what, a year before New Vegas?

Wait, who was he in 2?

Gatatog Uvenk, the clan leader you kill during Grunt's loyalty mission.

Or Marcus, depending on which 2 you meant.

And Frank Horrigan as well, though he doesn't have a ton of lines (for pretty justified reasons).

Yeah, now that I think about it, Uvenk is the only really good VO role he's done in the last decade, really. (Well, besides the Mirror Universe Enterprise computer, but thats replicating a really camp 60s voice no one would actually do typically) Now that I think about it, he was really brief in the VO section of "The Making of New Vegas" and had tons of Backhanded Compliment to Cryptic when reprising Worf.

Maybe he's just picky and only in it for the money in his old age?

Anyways, we've drifted from Fallout 4.

What do you all think you're gonna get sidetracked doing that has no practical application to the rest of the game?

For me? Collecting game holotapes.

Let's see, in Fallout 3, it was collecting books. I filled one of the rooms with them. Well, until the game started lagging so much it became unplayable while in the home and I had to get rid of them.

But probably something to do with building your own home. First thing on the to-do list: sniper tower. And then build a series of towers and elevated pathways and... Well, to a further degree than what's actually useful.

Fallout 4 is available to pre-purchase on Green Man Gaming at the moment.

It's also eligible for a 23 percent discount voucher for another day or so, so you may want to dive in.

I don't see any voucher.

At this point what I am definitely really excited for is the crafting stuff. Building houses, and custom guns?

If the story sucks, I feel like I can still totally get my money's worth with that.

The crafting is everything I've dreamed for.

Just sifting through rubble for little bits and bobs to upgrade my gun with. That's the dream.

Have a little shelter in said rubble. It's great.

I hope we get some collectable quests like 3 had back. You know, finding scrap metal for what's-his-name, pre-war books for who's-her-face, and sugar bombs for who's-this-guy, etc. I don't think New Vegas had those.

...it's been years since I've played either game.

And by "shelter" you mean "badass fortress". Of Doom.

New Vegas had those. Jack with the Boomers was asking for Scrap Metal (too bad Scrap Metal was more useful for making a Weapon Repair Kit). And House wanted those Snowglobes (which I liked doing alot more than the Bobbleheads).

I want to pre-order this game so badly it hurts. If I do so, I get a discount. BTW, the voucher should be on the front page of the greenmangaming.com site, or at least a link to it. The code is:

23PERC-AUTUMN-SAVING

and it's pretty much site wide.

Unfortunately my rig wouldn't run it as pretty as I'd like even without the added burden of mods. If I don't buy it, I'm up for a long wait for it to come up on Steam sale, so I'm screwed either way. Argh!!!

Greenman gaming has had issues in the past, and is of questionable legality IIRC.

I know that a lot of witcher keys distributed through them were revoked without a refund.

So be careful there.

Large chunks of my Steam library were formed from buying stuff from Green Man Gaming, so your mileage may vary on that one. I personally never had a problem with steam keys I got from them. Mind you, I've never pre-ordered a game this far in advance from them either, so...

I don't recall the keys not being honored, just the dev getting in a slapfight with GMG. The real reason of course being that GOG doesn't want to compete with other sites so they were pissy that cheap codes were appearing off-site.

Crafting and Being the Killian to my own personal Junktown.

Gonna roll a Rule 63 Me this time.

Then you better side against any Androids. Jack O'Neill doesn't tolerate Replicator scum!

Next is Luck.

2:15 - Mmmmmm, yeah. -touches self-

But seriously, has Bethesda considered introducing some kind of in depth knife mechanic/perk to Fallout? Using VATS to target such things as the throat to kill and the different tendons to hobble/disable would be pretty nifty.

Toomuchinformationdude.

BTW, now that I think about it, why should you need a specific perk just to quietly murder someone in their sleep? You cant just equip a blade and do it manually? Feels like they're ripping you off for ability points.

You can apply that logic to a lot of things you learn to do in games. Short answer: Game balance.
