Enoch Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Maybe a buxom broad should be on there as well, now that I think about it. Good idea. Someone should start photoshopping from here.

Nemo0071 Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Can we haz vehicals? VEHICLES FTW !!! Yes, I'm serious. I really hope they don't choose the easy way out and actually answer questions about the mechanics and the lore.On a secound thought, if I had to choose between the two I'd choose the questions about the mechanics, the lore can wait until I play the game. Same here. I don't want the story to be ruined just because we're curious. It may sound weird, but that's the reason I like discussing the "potential" mechanics & plot elements / lore and not getting an actual response from the developers, especially about story. The more they throw at us right now, the less we'll have on our plate come dinner time. My work here is done. Running away now. "Save often!" -The Inquisitor "Floss regularly!" -also The Inquisitor

Clipping errors ftw. It's most probably an unfinished model by the way, since the super mutants in those old screenshots looked almost all like the Fallout 3 one except for a couple of retextured ones (Nightkin). I don't particularly dislike the Nightkin using a grey-ish Fallout 3 model, but I hope they rework the head as they did with the normal muties, since the difference in quality is quite noticeable. Even the same new head just retextured (grey skin and pale mad eyes) would work imho.
Thorton_AP Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 The thing I like about the boxart is that I think it continues a trend established by previous games. I like nods to the predecessors like that.

As for the box art? *shrug* Why not talk about it? It's there; we can see it; the developers don't guive us much of substance to discuss. I don't think anybody here is expecting or desiring our discussion to cause Beth to redo the box art. It's just fodder for the mill, as it were.

Oner Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) Jokes aside, the Bethesda Q&A is quickly turning into an 'ask-questions-about-things-we-knew-about-before'.Meh. Things like 'What's the size of New Vegas?' when pretty much every preview mentioned 'same size as FO3'. http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showt...t&p=1011224I called it! I clearly saw what was obvious! (Obscure The wicked of the village reference FTW. ) Also, we've been through 4 NV threads since the announcement.

WorstUsernameEver Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 A new box art? That's easy. Something both new and VERY Fallout-y : show the new super mutant model trying to whack a powered armor courier with ominous New Vegas in the background.
Slowtrain Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Also, we've been through 4 NV threads since the announcement.

WDeranged Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 The more they throw at us right now, the less we'll have on our plate come dinner time. My view exactly, near the end of Dragon Age I realised that I'd learnt practically nothing from the game that Bioware didn't give away in the years leading up to the release, thankfully Obsidian haven't spilled quite so many beans but I still know more than I'd like. It's hard to resist the temptation to read every preview
Slowtrain Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I'd still like to know if the repair system has been changed. I'm guessing not though or it would have been mentioned. Not really any need to keep it sekret. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names.

Not really any need to keep it sekret. Just to be clear about my previous post, I do want to learn about & discuss game mechanics (like the companion wheel or repair system or damage threshold and the red shield etc.). I just don't want to learn anything about the game that could potentially ruin the story / plot / surprises / whatnot. And I don't want to learn about the game mechanics / gadgets that could make me go "wow" if I didn't know about them beforehand, to put it simply. Like that orbital laser thingy which is a little bit of both. And I know about it. I might even find it "lame" in-game now, let alone say "wow". Even seeing Tabitha for the first time would give me a good laugh, which it won't now. I know these are simply PR things and are probably inevitable, but, you guys see what I mean, right?

Slowtrain Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 I know these are simply PR things and are probably inevitable, but, you guys see what I mean, right? Absolutely. When I'm really looking forward to a game, I usually steer clear of any info about the game. FO:NV is a bit different though in that I expect it will pretty much be like a FO3 expansion pack, so any surprise beyond the story will be minimal regardless. Some new armor, some new weapons, new locations (all fo which are great) but the same basic game. Additionally, having played FO3 extensively, I know that if certain changes are made, and I find out about them it will make me look forward to the game even more (such as finding out that the repair system has been changed. Would make me very happy.) Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names.

WorstUsernameEver Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 I'd say go and ask it on their Q&A Slowtrain... there's a very little chance we'll be answered but it's not like asking will do any harm.

Not the exact same assets as we were told originally. They still look a bit like orcs (or The Incredible Hulk, or Frankenstein, or, or... ) but at least they're detailed orcs now.
