I really wish they explored more joining the enclave. This time you are one of the purest amongst the purer.

Speaking of vertibirds; iirc they hyped you flying a vertibird somewhere back when. How does that work in practice? Is it actual flying or just fast travelling?

remember that this is Bethesda's janky engine, so that's still pretty impressive

Pfft, few thousand lost sales don't mean anything. Besides whole modding is very small scale thing, I hear barely 1% of players use mods in first place.

Nexusmods.com gets around 3/4 million hits a day.

Flying in, flying... I fail to see the difference.

You can fly in a vehicle as a passenger, rather than piloting it.

Ah, I see. Actual flight over stuff though, not just fast travel?  Cam you set the destination? Is it a single or narrative-bound flight or can you use it at your own leisure?

That was meant as a general statement rather than as me claiming knowledge about FO4. Stating a possilbe difference between flying the vertibird and just flying in it.
And actually on that there could be the character flying it but it's not interactive besides telling it where to go. Which I imagine would only sort of count.

so, i found a few corn cobs, in a very clean toilet.

i gave it some thought what it could mean and what to do with it. i then decided to feed it to the people.

yeah, i know what you think now. but im not evil! for one, this is the bloody post apocalypse, and we have to make due with whatever resources we have.

By the way, why would vault-tec perform all those vault experiments, if they would not live to know their results.

Theres a "Vault 0" in an earlier game that is said to be for watching vaults, theres also a whole bunch of secret and/or private vaults.

Plus, the enclave probably can monitor some of them.

you'd think that if they can construct a vault to house people for long after its safe to go outside, they can also house themselves.

Fallout: BoS had a "secret vault" which housed vault-tec personnel, and even though that game isn't canon it's a pretty obvious thing to do.

In my personal opinion, this is my game of the year, in terms of sheer amount of things to do and see, and gameplay wise. It definitely has it's flaws, but none of them have hampered my experience thus far, it may be because I grew up with Bethesda, and my fanboyism. But it really is an excellent game in my opinion.

This AND the Witcher 3 are my games of the year, both for completely different reasons :D

Still can't fly anything? Come on, Bethesda, you had working vehicles in 1996 in SKYNET.

Before anyone asks, yes, it was buggy, but IIRC it was the first FPS with working vehicles. (Duke Nukem 3D and Quake 1 came out the same year)
