Why Fallout 4 begins before the bombs

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fallout 4's Sole Survivor lived a full life before the bombs fell, ▨a distinction that sets them apart from most characters in the post-nuclear role playing series. A normal morning in a retro-futurist family home is a unique premise for a tutorial/character creation segment, but game director Todd Howard says it also helps players feel more kinship with the character.

"For the other people inཧ the world, [the post-apocalypse] is all they know - it's normal to them," Howard told . "But the player character is coming in with a sense of the world beforehand. That kind of emotion plays heavily in our story. Any time we can connect the character on screen with the player - any time you both feel the same way - that's great."

Most Fallout protagonists are either fresh out of the Vault, where they grew up in the space of a few subterranean rooms, or are wasteland natives. But the S🥂ole Survivor knows what was lost in the long nuclear winter, and so they feel compelled to bring some of it back. Fallout 4's extensive crafting an♚d town building elements feed into this idea of making "a new normal."

"It goes back to that sense of loss," How♍ard added. "'My home got blown up so I'm going to rebuild it; I'm going to make it new again.' That goes to the whole theme of the game. And it's fun."

Sometimes you have to tear things up before you can start building; you'll be able to play Fallout 4 as a nonviolent scavenger and builder much of the time, if that's your preferred playstyle, but Howard admitted that letting players get through the whole game without killing is "not necessarily a goal of ours." Good thing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fallout 4 is a way better shooter than its predecessors.
