So far about 12 hours in.

My impression so far is that it has some neat ideas but overall is a worse game than new vegas.

AI and animations are definitely better, but sidequests are boring and survival difficulty is more frustrating than challenging (everything takes forever to kill)

Perk tree balance isn't great either. Strength, perception, agility, intelligence are significantly stronger than endurance, charisma, luck.

I went with an endurance build, centering around aqua boy, ghoulish, solar powered, life giver.

Of course, int alone provides durability, damage, healing, and xp. It specializes in power armor and energy weapons, both of which are very powerful. Once you get a stockpile of fusion cores, there's huge advantages to power armor, and it mostly replaces the benefits of other trees, with one helmet mod providing the same effect of the lead belly perk, which admittedly isn't great to start with.

It's good.
When the voice from the shadows calls you
When the wind whips past your ears
Will you stand when the weight is upon you
Or will you go to your knees in fear?

It looks so condescending.
Too bad Piper fucked off with my X-01 and I can't find her.

On another note, I've been entertaining myself with finding everything to put on Dogmeat.

Raider armour on him is ridicolously cute.

Finally had the opportunity to play, seem pretty awesome, fun and good but not better than New vegas. But as how I guessed before, they really, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY fucked up with the dialogue.

"Please that power armor and kill all the raiders"
"No"
"But we will die"
"OK"

In that part we should have some cool options, like help the raiders like in Goodsprings. How cool would be telling Preston "well fuck you" and help the raiders, making all raiders on the commonwealth non-hostile to you while you got a big hit on karma (oh wait the karma system was remove because... ?)

But the rest is pretty good, i hope they learn from the critics that FO4 got and work in a better fallout.

Dialogue system FUCKING SUCKS DICK

What it was:

[Intelligence] Are you sure you don't suck dick?
(Speech 100) Kill yourself, now.
OK shut up
Yeah you're right
[Perception] You're not sucking dick, your argument is invalid.
(Speech 75) Let's go kill everyone at bethesda.
Etc....

WHAT IT IS:
Y: What?
X: Sarcastic
A: Yes
B: No
:(

Am happy
