Well, it will, but probably something similar to the steam workshop, so your out of luck if you want anything complicated (i.e. needing the script extender).
Although I'm unsure of why you don't want it on PC, and bought an xbox, when you could have just saved the money. Since you already (assumably) have the TV, and could get a controller much cheaper than buying and entire XB1. At that point you have the exact same game, mechanically, with the option of using the script extender. I just don't follow the logic.

I imagine games like Halo 5 and Assassin's Creed Syndicate, amongst others, could help make the decision. I doubt he's buying it solely for F4.

Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Ooor you can go back and read the rather lengthy discussion I already had on the subject.
And "probably" is not "that is how it will be". There have been statements that there will not be paid mods as per the trial with Skyrim o Steam. Besides, I've gotten many, many happy hours out of vanilla and gotye FO3 and FONV. Lack of mods is not a huge issue for me.

Because you want to play it in your lounge? Odd reasoning for paying that much money (especially as you could just move the computer), but whatever.
That is how it most likely will be, because anything more requires modifications to the game's files, not just slotting in another ESM file. Not just modifications, but unofficial modification. More specifcaly the script extender.
Also, I wasn't talking about payed, more in how the steam workshop works (click a button, and it will download and instiall the mod, but you are very limited in what mods you can use, as there is no script extender built in).
And I wasn't the one who brought up mods.

Crying? I just think it's odd to spend that amount of money over something so little. Different experiences maybe, but I just view $400 as a lot of money.
Edit: I have no particular "you should use PC" thing, for me it's all about the money. Whatever is cheaper when balanced against the advantages/disadvantages. I just see spening that amount of money needlessly as rather silly.

And for me the advantages of the xbox justify the price. Otherwise... you know... I would not have just bought one. And the tipping point was the release of FO4.

That's the thing, what are the advantages? That's what you haven't asnwered. If you mean just being able to use it in the lounge, I thought that was weird, considering you could move the PC in their and save $400.

You saw my posts saying that I can't take over the TV in the lounge with a PC for doing work, etc because I have a wife who is also into games etc? And that she doesn't enjoy watching me play the types of games I like to play on PC? And how we play a lot of games together, of which there are many more of the types we enjoy on consoles than PC? And many other advantages that I lack any kind of enthusiasm for posting.
The only two disadvantages are cost (but given I have spent £80 on repairs for my 360 in all the years I've had it on top of whatever I purchsed it for, and I am expecting a similar level and length of use for the new one, it is actually pretty reasonable), and lack of a "massive" library of mods... most of which are pants, many of which don't work, and quite a lot of which break the game.
And that's what I was looking for. Again, I'm not going "consoles suck, neh neh neh" or anything, I just though it was odd to spend $400 when you didn't need to.
Edit: although, do you know anything about modding, or are you just making it up. Becuase the only problems I have had with "breaking the game" when when I installed one wrong. They pretty much all work (or are so low rated as to not appear). And, there are mods of all differnt types and quality, but most tend to be relitvly good (although not nesicarily what you are looking for). It might not be your thing, but that doesn't make it bad.

I play quite a lot of games with large modding communities.
Some mods are just unstable, others cannot be used in certain combinations (often not very obvious combinations as well ). For every good mod there are often a thousand terrible ones doing similar things.
So dismiss all mods because some mods are crap? It's incredibly easy to tell if mods will be crap , check ratings and DLs, that's generally a good sign. Look at what people are saying about it. Or even read the mods description. If it is supported in any way shape or form , then they will have lists of compatibility. And quite often it's easy to tell what will be compatible or not (for example, something changing the Riften world-space, and the open cites mod, probably not too compatible). All it takes is common sense, and a little bit of effort.
Think of it like YouTube (or any user-generated content, TBH), there's crap, and there will always be crap, but it's easy to avoid said crap, and just get the good stuff. Or even rely on lists of the best stuff (thing GEMS for skyrim).

Not at all, but your comments on modding seems very dismissive. And I was defending modding communities, and modding in general. If you do play and use mods extensively, than surely you understand why that is important to me? I quite like that MS is doing thing cross-platform modding thing, I want as many people to experience the same sort of stuff I do. That's purely a good thing to me.
Edit:And I don't even know if I am getting the PC verion. My laptop might be able to manage it on minimum, but I'd like a bit better than that. Again, I'm probably going to be what ever is cheapest, compared to the advantages/disadvantages of each system. So far, that looks like PC, but stuff might change.

That should do it. This is by no means a thing that I'll be definetly doing. something along those lines. Loads of guns. Some sniping, some Machine Guns, some Laser stuff, and if the game allows. A whole lot o' Wild West style Gunslingin'
Isn't using so many different guns a waste of points? That can't be too effective, could it? What are they for? Long range, medium range, short range and medium short-long range?
Now I wonder how good of a Laser Sniper you can make in the game. There's the Gauss Rifle, that's energy, right?
I get bored using the same kind of gun weapon. Even with the extensive gun modding I'd like to have a little more variation
I like melee a lot and plan to use it, but frankly, I'm not too keen on perks with a chance to instantly kill enemies, so it's a shame I won't get maximum regular damage without the special attack, oh well.
Something I noticed though is that when they kill the Security Guard at 10 seconds, a loot display pops up for a split second and displays the loot for you to take. So it appears you can see the loot on bodies without having to open the menu up. How convenient.
mmm, messy
Spoiler:
or was that already talked about at quake con or something? I didn't watch anything from there or listen to anyone reporting on it. It's the only information I've avoided.

Lots of Pipboy Edition unboxings on Youtube! Really excited to get mine on the 10th
Beware though, a lot of the videos say the Pipboy Edition comes with the Season Pass. It doesn't, there's just an advert for it in the box that the Youtubers assume has codes on it for the Pass, but the codes are apparently for a free download of Fallout 3.
Hopefully we see some let's play videos before release...
Also for anyone who ordered the Fallout 4 Loot Crate there's an unboxing of that too. Sweet stuff in there!

Why would you want that???
I'd be pissed if one of my subscriptions was like "How to complete this thing we've spoiled in the title". I'm very glad most people are being polite about avoiding spoilers, like those leaked achievements that I've been avoiding like the plague.

Because I don't give a gak about spoilers and want to see the gameplay?
They could always leave their episode titles generic like "Fallout 4 - Part 1" so you don't get spoilers in your subs.
I over reacted a bit, but still, if a lets play came out and some person was burning through the game at break neck speeds, chances are that if I read anything fallout related then someone in the comments section is gonna say something I don't want to hear. Maybe even a spoilerific thumbnail image for a video or article that ambushes my eyes before I can turn away.
I'll have to cut myself off from all Fallout related stuff if people start broadcasting the game.
