Fallout 4

My bad, looked like a chicken to me on my first viewing.

Now I look forward to the inevitable Fallout-world arguments in favor of free-range Radroaches.

Have you seen the trailer for the Fallout Shelter update, it include some Fallout 4 scenes of Piper.

Said trailer right here.

R.A.G.E is looking petty rad this year [1]

I can't get enough of that song. Hopefully the rest of the soundtrack is as catchy and awesome. We're three for three right now, so I'm looking forward to the rest of the songs.

As long as there isn't another "Civilization (Bongo Bongo Bongo)" in the soundtrack I'll be fine. (Thematically it didn't make sense for Fallout 3, however it would have been good for New Vegas with all the themes of Imperialism in that game. Also killing raiders to a very jingoist imperialist pop song, especially one set in the Congo really killed the mood for me)

Also, anyone look at that trailer and think "Oh. They learned from Nuka Break didn't they?"

I think the song was added in for the irony, since the Capital Wasteland, in comparison to the other settings, was the biggest shithole to live in.

The other games had more dire situations, like a whole army kidnapping and transforming people into monsters, or a forgotten army trying to wipe out everything, but the environment in '3 from a story standpoint was the most dangerous in general.

Hopefully Bethesda takes a cue from Obsidian and only use songs that more or less fit the theme. New Vegas definitely had a thematically-fitting soundtrack, despite the majority of us wanting to shoot Mr. New Vegas for playing Johnny Guitar for the umpteenth time YES WE GET IT THERE WAS NEVER A MAN LIKE YOUR JOHNNY.

To be fair, Johnny Guitar was pretty clearly chosen to represent Boone. So it makes sense that it would butt in all the time and kill your mood for you.

Was it really?

Nevermind. Didn't know that the Fallout Shelter update trailer had clips from the game. I misread what the post was saying.

She seems like she's gonna be a wisecracking, ain't-got-time-for-your-bullshit kind of lady. I like her already.

What's fallout shelter getting in the update?

x4 You can always tell when Chris Avellone chooses something thematic. Johnny Guitar and Boone share alot of key points.

"Maybe you're cold, but you're so warm inside" - Boone's Cold Sniper personality hiding the pain he felt from losing his wife, and his strong moral compass.

"What if you're cruel, you can be kind I know" - When we recruit Boone, he commits a (admittedly deserved) murder. Its our choice to make him let go his vengeance or to make him a cold stone killer.

Also in the movie "Johnny Guitar," (yes, this is actually a Western's theme song) the main character is a female lead who maintains a very hard relationship with the people in the town she runs her saloon in. She also supports the local railline being built and the confederates who run it. These themes reinforce Boone's relationship with the town of Novac and his staunch defense of the NCR (which are viewed as a nation trying to take their land from it).

There's alot more themes but that would be hijacking the thread. BACK TO BOSTON!

inb4 we get a car like in fallout 2

inb4 we get jacked by super mutants while we're looting a building

we've already been told that we will never be able to ride cars in the recent Fallout games. Officially, that is.

Who needs cars when we got Vertibirds?

Not even. Domesticated animals like Yao Gui, quadrupedal Deathclaws, and Mole Rats for the little ones when?

I'd pay to storm the Commonwealth atop a bloody Deathclaw, while Dogmeat's riding her own Yao Guai.

It's not like it can't be done either.

Animal Friend implies good skills around most animals, and characters have managed to make friends/get on neutral terms with animals from the measly radroach to the pissed off Deathclaws.

Unless we need to mind control them like back in '3 and risk getting the head piece busted mid battle while our bear/chameleon buddy is next to us.[1]◊

I think Three Dog is still in Fallout 4.

How long has it been since anyone's heard that famous howl?

Uh two days ago. I was just watching his episode of The Storyteller.

"Hellooooooooooooooo Mojaaaaaaveeeeeeeeee Wastelaaaaaaaand! AAAOOOOoooooh!"

Also Reddit on the new trailer: "Vault Butt is the new Ass Effect!"

What's Ass Effect? I'm not sure I'm thinking of what you're thinking.

Known more commonly by its other mock nicknames, like Mass Erect, Ass Erect, Mass Defect, etc (2 outta three of those will net you porn pages upon search), it's Mass Effect.

I think.
