Fallout 4's Script Is Bigger Than Skyrim And Fallout 3 Combined

[BoogieManFL]

So much cynicism.

Just wait and see, you don't win or lose points for being right or wrong.

Hopefully it's good, if not, it'll probably at least by average or serviceable.

Oh bigger than Skyrim's? Oohh, how great, can't wait to here the same 3 voice actors drone on and stare blankly at me, really captures the mood. Fucking bullshit, "bigger"? Do you think I'm 13 Bethesda? I want better, I want refinement, I'd take a 10 hour game that gripped me like no other over 200 hours of mediocrity any day.

Also:

When can I play as a ghoul? Or a Super-Mutant? Why would you acquire a franchise then do nothing with it (except throw in cute references so the fans will like it)?

I'm going to be another cynic and say that it's quality, not quantity, that matters.

I mean, 111,000 voiced lines sounds impressive, but if it's 111,000 voiced lines of

whatever this is, I'm not sure how excited to be.

Regardless, I was more impressed with the dialogue and scripting of the E3 Fallout 4 video, and it was a lot better than Skyrim, so I won't be completely pessimistic, but I'll keep my expectations tempered.

Do you remember how Fallout 3 had "over 200 endings?"

Do you remember how Skyrim had "infinite quests" and "totally isn't gamebryo?"

Do you remember how Skyrim has "over 70 voice actors?"

Do you remember how Oblivion had "radiant AI" that was made NPCs act "unscripted and living in real time 24 hours a day?"

Do you remember when "Creation Kit" was going to "release in January?"

There's a voiced protagonist, of course there is going to be much more dialogue, that sense of immersion in your own character won't break itself!

I'm curious, did having Geralt speak his lines break your immersion as well?

Geralt isn't our own character. He is a set character unlike other games like Fallout

News just in: Troy Baker will be voicing every single damn character in as many accents he can. Even the females. And all creatures! In one day!! We will squeeze this fucka dry!

Considering that guy's range that might be an improvement over what we've gotten in the past.

I can't recall the number of times I came across an Imperial patrol and 2-3 of the soldiers in just the one patrol were obviously voiced by Gideon Emery.

OT: Like others have said, quantity does not equal quality. I am excited for the premise of the game but between the Bethesda's recent lacklustre writing, quest variety, horrible variety of voice actors (or voice actors with little range), and how absolutely broken their games tend to be (I blame Gamebryo and any variation thereof) I'm going to wait quite a while before I consider making any sort of purchase.
