Does anyone know how hardcore Fallout 4 will be? I guess there will still be radiation, but what about sleep and food? I know there were mods for that in Fallout 3, for people who really wanted the experience of surviving the Wasteland.

Anyone know?

Not that I've heard of, no.

[Narcissistic Martyr]

Yeah... it's a bethesda game... I'm gonna wait a couple months and let them fix the countless bugs before I buy it.

It's still brown and drab! I've even modded my Fallout New Vegas to look better... Check it out. I recorded this a couple of months ago. Hail this, Kaisar! (Ceasar but 'tis funny he pronounces it the right way)

Watch as I formulate a plan and then... do the deed.

Don't forget starcraft 2 also comes out the same day. I know i'm personally going to disappear from the world for the month of november. I'll be back though for Marauder release in december

[KHETTI]

There's plenty hope out there and on the horizon, you just have to look hard enough, sadly MWO isn't one of them.

I wouldn't call the Bethesda Fallout games awesome--they have their own charm... but they aren't the original games, either.

As for Morrowind, I played through it again about a year ago using the Morrowind Overhaul and it was wonderful. It reminded me of why I don't like the newer TES games, Oblivion and Skyrim, that much.

Morrowind was about story and world building while Oblivion and Skyrim because fancy time wasters with mixed to bad writing.

New Vegas was the much better Fallout Remake. Better writing, better Quests, better Worlddesign and so on.
Fallout3 was all about the lulz. Look @ the Orcs... i mean Supermutants! bäh

The only TES i enjoyed was Daggerfall.

I don't like what bethesda did with fallout franchise honestly. They are good at making sandbox games with other aspects of the game being mediocre. Original fallout games were not about that.

That's why New Vegas is the better FO3, because it was not made by Bethesda.

[Xetelian]

Cannot wait for Fallout 4, but because I'm on a limited budget I'll be getting it after all the DLCs are out and they have a game of the year edition.

I've had horrible experiences with pre-orders so I don't do that any more.

Hah I might be the only one who liked fo3 more than new Vegas.

A Tale of Two Wastelands is a fun mod for FONV.

Fallout 3: Better story and writing. More interesting story driven experience.
Fallout NV: Better Mechanics, more traditional "Fallout" feel, bigger wasteland. More interesting companions.

People can keep looking through the nostalgia glasses, I own the entirety of the series, and I'd much rather play 3 or NV over 1, 2, or BoS.

But hey, we can still play whatever. Which is great... enjoy the nostalgia... but understand, those old fallout games, are old, and don't entirely hold up today. Yes they're fun, yes they are "objectively" better than the new ones... but it could also be said the new ones are better than the old.

The wonderful thing about opinions I suppose.

Nope, you're not the only one. Played 400 hours or so of FO3, stopped playing NV after about 50. Couldn't stand the cowboy vibe, much preferred the DC Wasteland atmosphere.

I loved FO 1 and FO 2, they were awesome and entertaining. FO3 and FONV were absolutely awesome as well and took it to a new level. You will, inevitably, lose some 'story' depth when you switch from a text-based isometric game to a 1PV FPS style environment but you pick up a ton of immersion that way as well.

I liked the vibe in FO3. It felt... like the east coast. FO 1/2 and FONV felt very wild west and that's good - that's where they were. I liked FO3 for being a departure. I liked the Brotherhood of Steel branch that they represented, I liked the giant stompy robot and I liked the BoS vs Enclave part too. That harkened back to FO 2 really well. I admit that I didn't like the 'Wanderer' storyline in this one; normally you're, well, tabla rasa. Being your own person and making the Wasteland what you want it to be is part of the gist of the whole Fallout vibe and I didn't get that so much in FO3.

FONV was brilliant. I play it with a ton of mods. Recently got the game Rebel Galaxy on Steam, the music for it is flat out incredible and I found a bunch of those songs and put them into the FONV music playlist. Yes, they're not very 1950s but... come on. That's hardcore wasteland wanderer laying the beat DOWN music right there. I didn't really like the FONV main plot-line about the Legion, I admit. Sorta... goofy for me. The Roman thing. The DLC and sub plots though? Awesome. Love 'em. In fact I think I'm going to go play it now and do the Lonesome Road. I know some people didn't like it but it's got a vibe I enjoy.

So it will be less hardcore than hardcore New Vegas?

The biggest problem I have playing Bethesda Fallout is it is easy mode Stalker. Once you play Stalker... there's no going back.

I would think they have it as an option, but haven't researched it.


I like the choices it adds, ammo with weight. I don't think it had any food though, just water from my memory.

Except that you can mod all that difficulty back in. Stalker and some ARMA mods.... yeah. That's a game experience that pretty much breaks you for other games.
