Spot on. There is a world of difference between answering that way in our heads to actually hearing it said with all associated emotions. This is why sometimes movies make us cry, it's all about empathy.
Sure the written word in a fiction book can also do that but normally it takes a long time and many pages of exposition and character progression. Simply, you cannot have an emotional conversation using unvoiced text without many, many lines of dialogue. All that can be illustrated far more simply by an actor's inflection.
Karver my friend the discussion title your feelings about FO4 was what I responded to mate, I never suggested that you should or should not play it, you may have had an issue free Skyrim I certainly did not, hence my comments above, If I have taken your words out of context then I apologise in advance as I meant no offence
I feel so excited I may explode! I love Fallout to death, and I have always had a soft spot for the East Coast part of Fallout lore! Even though I will have to wait a bit, until I get the money to upgrade my computer and buy the game, I am really looking forward to it! And, my step-brother owns and Xbox One and plans to buy the game..so I may visit him. And maybe stay for a day, and not play Fallout 4 all night. Okay, maybe a teensy weensy bit...
This.
I´m quite excited that I can be here at the moment when the ball starts rolling. But I don´t know if I´ll be making a build a month after realese, or 5 months. Hell, even if I´ll be making builds at all. It all comes down to how satisfied I will be with Fallout 4 possibilities to build.
By that I´m not saying it will be bad, you can pretty much build in any game, but some games suit me better than others.
Truth to be told, there was a moment when I was considering shifting my attention to those two games and building - I even started a Thief character in NV, but it didn´t go as I wanted because Fallout kinda limits you in this playstyle, so I gave up.
Plus I was quite busy with Skyrim, Oblivion, General Gaming and writing, so focusing on Fallout too would be to difficult for me. I have a full-time job and (full-time ) girlfriend, so sometimes it´s difficult to actually get to gaming.
Maybe Fallout 4 will awake the right vibe in me and I´ll get to building for Fallout. Maybe not. We´ll see.
I still can't understand this whole "building" mania, especially the desire to showcase your characters to other people. I'm thinking it's probably some psychological disorder in modern gamers - narcissism, inferiority complex, etc.
Jokes aside, I can relate to the need to describe in a no class restriction game like Skyrim the most common archetypes like Paladin, Swordmaster, Barbarian, Demonhunter, etc. However, having things like "Character build: The order of the left testicle of Zeus" comes a bit too much for me.
