Male teenagers

The twist is that the player character is a synth and that's why they were able to survive for hundreds of years in the vault.

Its sound should be pretty crisp after all these years

I have a (possibly stupid) question about this trailer (it's the TV one):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3IlHBBGCIw

When shown in the UK it says on screen 'Not Gameplay Footage', which is kinda obvious as it's just cutscenes *but* is this in-engine footage ? It looks bloody lovely, especially the dog animation - but is it just rendered CGI shenanigans rather than the quality of graphics we'll actually see.

if it is in-engine footage it looks incredibly optimized and probably not best idea to refer to it as reference for in-game..

Nah the game looks nothing like that.

Damnit, thought that was the case *starts saving for a PC to run Fallout 5*

The game is pretty attractive as it is, though. Much more colorful and (of course) detailed than Fallout 3. Given the complex nature of Bethesda games I think they did a nice job.

Also, lol:

Can't wait to touch it.

Gonna use my free Steam bucks (from trading Dota items) to buy it. Going to bootcamp my Mac this weekend for it.

Pretty hyped to build some crazy melee strong man

pre-loading is available

Dude, that's live action footage mixed with CGI editing. The guy is real, the dog is real, most of the environment is real. The stuff that makes it Fallout, like some of the background items, the robots, radroaches and super-mutants are CGI.

You sure it's not all CGI - I mean the dog and man could be motion captured from real sources, but it all looks like the same rendered world ...

It's a live action trailer.

This is a quote directly from the videos official youtube page: "Before wandering the wasteland on November 10, watch the world of Fallout 4 come to life in this live-action trailer. Welcome Home."

My first run through will be a gay only melee bear who doesn't wear shirts

I love that what you just said seems ridiculous, but is actually totally possible. The level of freedom in some games nowadays is amazing. Fallout and Elder Scrolls games usually being the new raised bar set in that area.

OMGZ!!!! How did I miss this post?? Starting the download now!!

Yup, just started pre-loading as well. Not gonna turn off my laptop til it's done.

And this'll be my last pre-release FO4 post. No it's not. I should know by now not to make arbitrary proclamations.
