I totally see that point of thinking but then it makes the 124 votes that have currently being made - null and void. If I could update the current poll with new options I would do that but I can't :(
New votes will easily reach that also tho. Even more closer to release and launch trailer etc.
Can't we put an updated poll on here? With new suggestions derived from this thread - On say a preview thread or something related?
I'd be happy to put a new poll together which has the top 5 (winners) from the last poll, along with 5 new community suggestions which people like. The OT is posted in 7-8 days so we have time.
> Isn't a proper open-world game>Fallout but it's on the Unreal engine instead of Creation
Still looking forward to it.
Ah Boone, you beautiful psychotic bastard you.You maybe misremembering how" good" were the characters in New Vegas. It happens lots of times with old games.
edit
Is there anything written about character creation? I can't find anything. I don't have time or ability to watch videos at work. Would rather skim an article.
Hope that the gunplay is good. Playing a lot of Destiny recently and it will be hard to jump to this if it is too janky.
I didn't see your last call for votes, and because this place moves so quickly, and things get lost in the scrum, it might be a good idea to open the OT with a poll, and a placeholder title.
After seeing opening sequence few times I can't, but feel during development they must have axed quite a bit out of introduction to the world before dropping you to first planet. Giving little bit narrative disconnect that our character basically gets kidnapped by wanted criminal and instantly tasked by said criminal with random task to get some drugs. You as character have zero reason to trust anything he says or do his bidding yet you just... do? Also game just assumes you (character) are as anti-corporation as Welles is without giving you option to challenge him at all during opening sequence.
Seems such huge missed opportunity to start game by actually fleshing out world right off the bat, introducing Welles.. well.. at all and letting player stretch those "choices matter" legs by letting player actually interact and do decisions with Welles.
Gameinformer actually had an early section gameplay video last month, and it's more interesting. They basically killed everyone for the luls, from that lady mercenary quest giver to the guards outside of the city.
Kinda disappointed that the act didn't make the whole city goes hostile. But yeah, I guess that would make things too complicated.

They've specifically said that you can turn around and betray Welles for the bounty within the first few hours of the game, if you want to. As for the opening sequence as shown... I don't really have any issue with how it plays out? Like, I don't see where your character would've even had the opportunity to challenge Welles - you've barely woken up, and are clearly still extremely disoriented, before he jettisons you from the ship - and you don't have to do anything he asks you to do. Now, they could've rewritten the scenario to provide the opportunity to actually talk with him, as you say, but I really disagree with your assertion that the game assumes you share his perspective. The game very deliberately does nothing of the sort.
(Also I think it's worth pointing out that he doesn't so much 'kidnap' you as rescue you from being left for dead in a freezer for the rest of time—a fate that you were condemned to by the very government that branded him a 'wanted criminal'. That's not to say that there aren't any valid roleplay reasons for your character to be dubious of Welles, of course, but the perspective of his actions you've presented is just that: one specific perspective, that plenty of players and characters won't share.)

I think I'd be more interested in this if it felt like more of it's own thing....it looks like Fallout in space to me.
I know they have literally made a Fallout game before but I would have liked to have seen them do something a bit different tbh.

Considering RPGs like classic Fallouts are a dying breed, I don't mind it
i don't know what to make of this game. it reminds me too much of fallout. i enjoyed Fallout but i don't know what it is about this that bothers me so much.
i might pick it up but definitely not rushing to buy it. looks like a wait and see then maybe buy it on sale.

Weird that people are complaining about "more Fallout" when nobody is doing Fallout anymore, not even the series actually called Fallout
If anything "more Fallout" is exactly why im interested in TOW

Indeed, 'people' have been asking for another obsidian fallout for years.
None of these games are more obsidian (and not black isle) fallout nor on consoles
You could have at least used Wasteland 2 if you wanted to push this silly point.
The gimmick is there is no gimmick. This is Johann Bach, not John Cage.
Everything about this looks great except for the console FOV. Looks very constrained. It's easier to watch in a smaller Theater Mode YouTube window than it probably is to play on my TV. Any idea if FOV options will exist for players?
Aside from that -- and I admit for me it's kind of a big deal -- it looks really, really good.

Like what's bringing people to play this game, can you fly to other planets? a billion guns to choose and modify? or is just the thirst for another fallout game hahah, not there's something wrong with that, just genuinely asking
Nice I guess
The gimmick is that its a new RPG made by some of the best RPG developers of all time
It's Obsidian making a 3D RPG, no longer tethered to the Creation engine. And the game is being co-directed by Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky.
That's all I really need. And it goes beyond Fallout tbh. These guys have worked on some great non-Fallout games (Arcanum, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, Diablo III, etc.)
Lol yeah. Year of footage and trailers and even a pre order but the first 20 min is suddenly "garbage" and pre order cancel.
User Banned (5 Days) - System Warring
That was before MS bought the developer.
I feared this would happen...looks like a low effort product with game pass in mind now.
RIP Obsidian.
