It's all in the delivery, man!
(For some reason, you get the most out of that line if you imagine it spoken by Dennis Hopper as he was in Apocalypse Now.)

Coincidentally we get Liam Neeson doing OINK OINK and some other animal sounds in the game. Damn, I shouldn't have revealed this.

That'll do, pig. That'll do.

Come on, you can't say you didn't shred a few tears when he ran through that force field...:(

Yes. But usually I lost him far earlier. :(

I'm honestly much more concerned about the mechanics then the characters. Fallout's chars really were kind of shallow anyway, though the conversation mechanics helped make it feel alive, at least.
And the stuff they're saying sounds cool, and if it was anyone but Bethesda, I'd be interested, especially since I'm very fond of FPS/RPGs. But it's Bethesda, and between Morrowind and Oblivion, I'm fairly convinced they are more or less incapable of implementing genuinely great mechanics. At best they put out average, and there's always quite a few WTF elements.

The characters may not have been deep, but they came alive. (Many of Dickens' characters were flat but still enjoyable as characters.) Depth of characterisation isn't necessary for characters to be more than the walking signposts that they are in Oblivion and Morrowind. Many people in real life aren't exactly deep...
Hmm... I don't exactly see how:
"Hey I'm Ian, I like adventures."
"Hey, come with me, and you can take half the loot."
"LOL, ok!"
And never talking to the character again (save giving him more ammo and telling him not to be an idiot by pulling a knife in a gunfight) is anything more than a walking signpost.
