I'm just watching a video on YouTube breaking down the trailer, and the guy in it mentioned something that I never noticed; The transition from interiors to exteriors appears to be seamless.
That never bothered me in Bethesda's previous games, but it would definitely be a welcome improvement.
The Fallout 4 announcement yesterday led to a dramatic upswing in sales of the most recent entries in the series, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, at least on Amazon. The online retailer's Movers & Shakers Chart (via Videogamer) shows that Fallout 3 Game of the Year sales rose 1,163 percent, while the New Vegas Ultimate Edition enjoyed a dramatic 409 percent upswing in the wake of the reveal.
Well I bought my GOTY for FO3/NV before it was cool.![]()
I never played Fallout 1 or 2 or even heard much about them. They were good I guess?
About a year ago, someone who claimed to be en ex employee of Bethesda made a post in Reddit, giving up spoilers about the game.Back then, nobody believed her of course.But now, some of the things she said has proven to be true.
-The game will be set in Boston
-This time the player character will be voiced.
Some other things she said that i can remember:
-the game world will be roughly three times the size of Skyrim
-The game world will be divided in two major locations: Boston and the countryside surrounding the city;this is where the vaults and mutated creatures will be found.
-There will be characters from FO3 returning. Madison Li of course,and she also mentioned Bryan Wilkes...who is now a Talon merc
-The game will take place roughly ten years after FO3.
-Apparently you can only play as a male character...that is, until you finished the main storyline.And then apparently you can switch character and will be able to play as female.
-player character will also be a named character.
Thoughts?
I fully believe the guy with the Vault 111 jump suit is the same guy that we seen with his wife and baby. I believe we'll actually see the world leading up to the bomb. The guy will wake up from being in Cryo-Sleep and set off to find his wife and child.. Who will have probably woken before him. I actually believe that the game will be post Fallout 3 too.. Maybe we'll see events shaped by the LW.. Hopefully meet up with Dr. Li.

Lost me. The design your own character is a big part of Bethesda's games to me.
The whole only be able to play as a male and then randomly being able to play as a female after you finish the main storyline just sounds really fake. I can't think of any real logic behind that, unless they just would say, "Ah hell, you finished the game, be a girl if you want" or part of the endgame is the choice to get a sex change or something.
