I work in RI so that should be interesting. Love traveling through the glowing see.
They're also talking about New Jersey and Delaware. (OF COURSE HOW WILL YOU KNOW IT'S ANY DIFFERENT!?! :pound: I'm so funny)

Are you sure this isn't an April Fools joke?

It was 100% an April Fools joke.

Yeah. Too bad. Rhode Island isn't that different from Massachusetts but it still would have been fun.

Other areas of the country would be nice. They did a great job with Nevada in New Vegas. A place like Texas would be interesting. Same with other countries.

I expect the next stand-alone game to be based in either Chicago (the Legion) or LA (NCR). I don't think any other locations have been mentioned yet...

I'd be worried about a dense location such as either Chicago or LA. The game is already glitchy enough lol

If they can make Boston baron, they can make Chicago or LA baron. I am not too concerned with that.

True. As long as they put more emphasis on getting the bugs sorted out then anywhere could be legit.

Anybody get the Automaton DLC?

Yes. It's cool. It was a little quick and easy for me, though... Likely because I'm a level 90 with the Robotics Expert perk maxed out.

With the Robotics Expert perk, you can hack into robots and shut them down, make them self destruct, etc. I was able to do this from a great distance - not sure if that was a bug or not. From 100's of feet away I could disable or destroy robots without using a single round of ammo.

I doubt they will spend much time on bug fixes. If FO3 is any indication, at least...

Any bugs I encountered were survivable. Some occasional clipping issues and seeing yourself as invisable on occasion was annoying but nothing disastrous.

Having Fallout in another country might be cool. London or Paris with a different type of Brotherhood of Steel and different factions.

Nah. Legion's territory is Arizona/Colorado/New Mexico/Utah and a bit of Nevada. I think Chicago is Enclave or BoS territory.

I think you are right. The BoS was Chicago before it relocated to DC when it took out the Enclave (and subsequently relocated to Boston to take on the Institute).

Besides, the Legion sucked so bad, I doubt they will dedicate another full version to them again.

I agree. :) Everything about Fallout New Vegas was so good, except the Legion. They were just so fake. ugh.

Had one bug with my settlements having beds and defense disappearing when I left them, but outside of that and a couple kills where the guy shot up in the air, I thought the game was really bug free, especially for a game of that scope.

I found a lot more bugs for some reason. Most of it revolved around the settlements. The more you build the worse it gets. I didn't have any problems with things disappearing though, just breaking down. My main settlement at the drive in had about 20+ turrets all over and sometimes when I would arrive they would be broken and in need of repair. No attacks where done either. I heard from someone on this forum that the jukebox causes a lot of glitches. Once I got rid of it I stopped seeing this breakdown happen. Another settlement I had would always spawn a Mirelurk Queen right smack dab in the middle of it whenever I arrived lol. And none of my turrets would help kill it. I can't remember the name of the settlement but its near the bottom of the map out in the swamp area. I had the entire area fenced in too.

Other glitches I encountered were during missions I had people disappear in the middle of their dialogues but you could still hear them. Also had my unlimited ammo weapons start eating my ammo supplies. I'm sure there were others

Yeah I haven't had near those type of problems. I had the occasional issue with characters sticking through a wall or walking on air but not that often.

The worst for me was when something in my sneak skills caused me to become invisible to myself, so I couldn't see what I was doing and my pip was unreadable. I ditched some shadow armor and that fixed the problem.

I had that issue as well. I suspect that was not an actual bug, though. If your sneak skill reach a certain point, you became effectively invisible, and that was there to indicate to you that you were invisible. If you stand up, you can see your pipboy again.

To yourself? That was terrible. I couldn't handle it.

The settlement repair deal isn't a glitch either. There are supposedly sleeper agents from the institute that will infiltrate your settlements as they get bigger and sabotage stuff. There's a couple of youtube videos on how you can find them.

I'll echo Rock's comment - for a game of this scope, pretty flawless.
