well, you're person has a different Pipboy model, you get the Geiger counter built into it, probably learnt how it worked from a text book. Vault tech knew what they were doing (please don't debate me on this)klakkat said:-Radioactivity: amount depends a bit on timeline, but there should be less emphasis on it than in 3. Essentially, only a few big areas and much of the food would give radiation, and ideally the player wouldn't start with a Geiger counter to know about it (so it should take longer to accrue, but be harder to detect; make player actually pay attention to Radiation symbols)
now, I think the main character is a bit too powerful, compared to the original games where you needed to save every 10 metres, but in real time I wouldn't be suddenly surrounded by raiders and I won't get hit by every bullet from a minigun volley when anything hits. if the character was weakened then they would need to take back the ability to heal by waiting anywhere, otherwise, well, you know, pain and such
the super mutants and brotherhood of steel aren't nearly as powerful as they were before. nowadays I can brutally take out half a dozen with Stabhappy without stimpacks or power armour
and some folks think it's unlikely for Bethesda to make a new engine. I'll have you know they made a new engine for each Elder scrolls game. Bethesda can make a better one, you know why? because they're utter nerds who have enough money and programmers to make whatever they want until they say it's done (not really, but whatever)
I think it's appropriate to believe humans have been pushed back again and again, having to rebuild their societyasiepshtain said:A much improved stealth mechanic, and improved melee mechanics.
No reason you can't aim for a spot with unarmed in VATS, as is it makes the melee weapons much less interesting.
I don't care where they place it but I think they should start pushing the story forward, with either the environment and society starting to recover or breaking down to a degree where even the little life there was in previous games is now becoming extinct.
and the people at Bethesda did some testing with Melee VATS, concentrating on body parts, I think they made the right choice
