I've read that 50 times and still don't know what "sweat the amazing vistas and take the small stuff" means. Although it sounds kinda sexual imo.

haha I dont even know what i was thinking when I typed that. I think what I meant was the overall look and aesthetic of the open world is what appeals to me, not the animations or texture quality.
Zylonbane can still go fuck himself though

What you were missing from that post was a "not" right before "sweat". Posts with syntax errors are what motivate ZB to reply to a thread, you should know this. (OMG COMMA SPLICE)
ZylonBane on 6/6/2015 at 14:11
His syntax was fine. It was a logic error.
Also, as subsequent posts demonstrated, a "being PigLick" error. But there's not much we can do about that.
PigLick on 6/6/2015 at 14:18

Would love to see some more games done in other locations. Post-apocalyptic Asia sounds like an interesting idea.
That would be actually really cool. They could draw inspiration from the Hiroshima bombing and its nuclear aftereffect to try to make it a bit more serious/dramatic. But even sticking to the comic/pulpy could be cool (post-nuclear mutant samurai?)
Yea you could claim it wouldn't be a 'Fallout' game anymore and i'd concede that's probably true, but I'm personally finding the current formula running dry by now. I dont doubt there are plenty of fans who dont, though.

Whilst that would be an awesome setting, and it would be great to properly get to see the Chinese perspective prior to World War 3 occurring, I doubt that will ever actually happen. Be a touchy subject I'd assume.
You'd be far more likely to get a Canada setting or European.

Weren't parts of Tactics set in Canada?

I think so long as Bethesda continue their policy of designing their games around the current generation of consoles' capabilities, rather than designing them for top-end PC hardware and making a cut-down version for consoles with what their hardware can support, we'll never see truly amazing graphics from them. Or probably an interface that's usable on a PC without third-party mods.
Either way, neither of that's really important. What I'm worried about here is Bethesda's writing and world-building skills. They have certainly improved over in the Elder Scrolls world, with Skyrim generally having better writing and a more interesting setting than Oblivion, but they still haven't proven themselves as anywhere near Obsidian's level.
Fallout 3 had a nice atmosphere, it had that Fallout vibe, but the world always felt really lacking to me. A handful of tiny communities that appeared to live off 200-year-old scavenged food, with no real societies and no signs of progress since the bombs fell; no real faction aside from reused ones from Fallout 2, few conflicts or people with different agendas or different ways of life.
Compare New Vegas, which has a world that feels much more alive, full of farms, traders, merchants, soldiers, huge factions competing and disagreeing, each with their own agendas and with differing ideologies.
That also lead into it having far more interesting quests with multiple choices, and them not always just being "the normal human being's choice" or "the diabolically evil person's choice".
I'm skeptical, but I'll still almost certainly be pre-ordering it as it comes closer to release.

FO4 won't be on PS3 or 360, so at least previous-gen hardware shouldn't be a constraint as far as the graphics are concerned.
Also, post-apocalyptic occupied Canada was one of my guesses for a possible location. Not this time, I guess.
