I have been trying to hold myself. I'm against pre-orders. I don't want to buy any PC game full-price either, I'd rather wait for a price drop or special deals and promotions.
But after watching the Launch Trailer? It's the final nail in the coffin.
Call me an hypocrite, 'cause I'm fething pre-ordering it on Steam!!!

I have yet to find a game where this isn't the case.
Fixed. Just remove the pound sign + one of its adjacent slashes in the link.
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. 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.

My brother's loot crate came in today. It's rare when a loot crate is actually worth what they're advertising these days.
He got..
- Vault 111 Hoodie
- Vault 111 messenger bag
- Dogmeat plush
- Brotherhood of Steel flag
- Rubber coasters
- Four pins (Vault 111, Vault Boy, BoS logo and Nuka Cola)
- A pair of posters (t-51b in workshop and Nuka Cola space pin-up girl)
Judging by the trailer it appears that we'll have opposing factions with separate quest lines, similar to Skyrim' s Legion vs Stormcloaks and Dawnguard vs Volkihar Vampires.
My guess is that in Fallout 4 it will be the Brotherhood of Steel (and possible allies) opposing the Institute and the Railroad.
The Insitute is messing about with advanced technology, including Synths. The Railroad treat Synths as people, and try to help liberate them from slavery and smuggle them out of the Commonwealth
The Brotherhood of Steel, following their core 7want to put a stop to the Institute's meddling with advanced technology. They may also have some local allies, leaders of settlements that are being terrorised by escaped rampaging Synths and want the Imstitue neutralized to remove it as a threat. (That guy saying "Its not the raiders or the super mutants, not even Diamond City. It's the guys lurking underground (?) That are the real threat").
My expectations are a more elaborated version of Fallout 3. Basically the same with different labels and a few extra features. Guess that's the most realistic one.
Also, breaking embargos is a safe way to get yourself in trouble.

So, the early review came from International Business Times? A website I've never even heard of (or, at least, never been to) before today. I could almost believe Bethesda might have intentionally had it released early...if it was a glowingly positive review. It's not even a negative review, really, just a middle-of-the-road review. It also strikes me as being extremely short for a game review.
But, yeah, that guy (or at least the website) will never be getting prerelease review copies again.

It was apparently a mistake and the review was swiftly withdrawn, the actual link is now getting a 404.
To me, all I really want is an improved version of Fallout 3, with a better collor pallete and a quest line I'll completely ignore until Lord knows when. Can't wait to start walking and go "WOOOOO, what's over there!" constantly Curious to see what the first "dungeon" will be, in F3 that market and school were always my first "pit-stops".

Tod Howard said in the e3 Demo that they recorded dialogue lines for Codsworth to recognise up to 1000 of the most common names for the player character. Is there any way to check what names are on that list?
Yeah but which one? Is there some official list somewhere of the most common names, like the Office of National Statistics?
Bethesda is American right? Did they use the most common American names?
Probably going to go with Joshua (my own name), or for a female character I'll use one of my cousins' names...Irish names are included right on the list of voiced names right?
Also, just started over with a new fallout 1 play through and MY GOD is 10 AGI fun.
BAM! Dead mole rat. BAM! Dead mole rat. BAM! Dead mole rat.
The last time I played I had low AGI and it was BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! One dead mole rat...

It'll be cool to have NPCs use my actual name.
I'd give it a couple days and I'm sure someone will have datamined/looked in the files for the list by then.

Hmn, I wonder if the game needs exact spellings of names to have them read out? As in names which can be spelled with double letters rather than one or I instead of E. That and if the name can be changed at any time with the console, or if its hard code to a save (in case you make a character and find the name's broken. I'm erring towards the former).
My copy was marked as dispatched as of Friday, so hopefully it'll turn up tomorrow, or at most Wednesday. Not so much to play the game (which won't happen till Wednesday anyway), but because I ordered the concept art book with it. =P
How can you say that's crap? It's perfect. Recognizable things like a motor, bracings, lenses, plus scifi housing. That's what I like for Fallout.
The armor though... Don't like that. The graphics do bug me just because they're so close to awesome, but not quite there. Like remove some detail in favor of shadows and they'd be miles better. I hope it just vanishes into the experience once I start playing. Most graphics issues usually do.
Wooo! 2% of the Preload complete! After 3 hours...granted I was playing Fallout 1. Looks like I'm going to have to abstain from video games tomorrow to complete this pre-load.
I'm stuck on Fallout 1, I've reached Vault 15 and I have to descend an elevator shaft using rope, but I can't figure out how to deploy the rope. Can anyone help?

My game is pre-loaded since yesterday's night and I'm not shamed to admit I've clicked it more than once because of how much I wanted it to magically unlock.
Gods, why did they have to release it on a Monday's night.

Mine has been tossed in the mail this morning, it should arrive some time in the early afternoon tomorrow. So hopefully I can pre-load it before Steam's network buckles and takes a dive when it goes live.
