I know they won't ditch the first person perspective, but there was nothing more satisfying than shooting a melee enemy from a distance then switching over to the Super Sledge and knocking that goose back across the battlefield. Especially the Super Mutants.

Good times, good times.
First person FTW

While Bethesda's presence at E3 could mean F4 news (which i am hoping it is), I'd say it's just as likely to be for Doom and possibly a sequel to Dishonoured.
I hope if nothing else, they give Fallout 4 a rough release date at E3.

Dishonoured. (Yes, I know I'm not using it's proper American name)What a curiously frustrating game. They give you crossbows...crossbows! Then punish you for killing anyone. I played it for 2 hours then lost interest

So even though I am not buying it...what is Fallout..what is the concept (apart from being a post-apocolyptic world)? What is the aim?
Post apoc world modelled after a 50s aesthetic. There's a lot of charm and character in the world itself. The game is an RPG - from a first person perspective from F3 onwards since the series was rebooted.

And you can play it at your own pace...do what missions you want..and kill lot's of things, without being punished

I enjoyed it, I liked trying to get through games the first time with out killing anyone if the game gives that option, seems more challenging.
But agree that it was a bit weird in Dishonoured that they take you to assassinate these people and then get pissed off when you kill people.

I'm a come out all guns blazing cum get sum, type bloke. I hate stealth unless I'm doing recon. I also hate when people put me down for my playing style 'cause realism and immersive reasons. **** me, I play games to get away from immersive realism

The Red Dragon not the Black
Johnny is poor and has been all his life. He doesn't mind it much, except for the fact that every year when the circus comes to town, he never gets to see it. The years pass and every year he watches the circus come and go with a tear in his eye. Then one year as the circus is leaving, he snaps. "That's it" he says." I'm going to get myself a job so I can see the circus."

The next day he applies for a job at a supermarket stacking shelves. He gets this job and works his heart out. He works every night stacking shelves, earning money. He spends very little, and saves heaps. He is the best worker the supermarket has ever seen. A year passes, and the circus comes to town.

As soon as the gates to the circus open, Johnny races up, first in line to buy a ticket. The excitement overwhelms him. He walks around the circus. He sees the animals, the freak show, buys a hot dog, plays on the clowns. And then he sees it, what he's been waiting for all these years...The Big Top.

Johnny races into the tent and takes a seat at the front. Pretty soon the tent fills up and the show begins. It's a packed house and the buzz is electric. The dancing horses come out, then the elephants, then everyone's favorite, the clowns. The clowns run around and do their act making everyone laugh. When all this is finished, the head clown picks up a microphone and says "Now we'd like to pick a member of the audience to help with our show."

All the lights go out and a spotlight circles the crowd and, as luck should have it, it lands on Johnny. Johnny is ecstatic, he nearly wets his pants with excitement. He can't believe his luck. The head clown comes up to him and says..

"Hey mister, are you the horse's head?"

"No." Johnny replies.

"Are you the horse's ear?"

"No

"Are you the horse's tail?"

"No"

"Then you must be the horse's ASS!!!!"

And then whole tent erupts into fits of laughter all of Johnny's expense. Everyone is laughing, except for Johnny. He's annoyed as all hell. He vows then and there that next year, when the circus comes to town, he'll get his revenge on the clown.

As he's walking home, still fuming from the humiliation that the clown caused, Johnny thinks of ways that he can get back at the clown. Death, violence, poisoning....and then it hits him. Johnny will give the clown a taste of his own medicine. Next year, Johnny will blast the clown with the biggest insult ever!

The next morning Johnny flips through the phonebook looking for someone who can help him with his revenge. Then he finds an ad.

INSULT SCHOOL

Sick of being picked on? Come to our school and soon you'll be verbally attacking people with vigor! 'This is just what I need!!!" says Johnny. So he rings up the school and enrols the next day.

So every day Johnny goes to the insult school, studying hard so he can learn the best and most harsh insult so he can get back at the clown. He's studied witty retorts and comebacks so much that he becones an expert in the field and the school's top student.On top of this, he still stacks shelves at the supermarket to get the money for the circus. Day in, day out Johnny works his ass off.

Then his day arrives...

As soon as the circus opens its gates Johnny barges to the front of the line, pushing people out of his way. No longer is he a kind, considerate man, he's a comeback master hellbent on revenge. He give the ticket seller the money, snatches the ticket and storms off.

He sees all the regular stuff. The animals, the freaks, the clowns. He's so excited that he goes into the Big Top an hour before the show starts, just so he can get a good seat. The tent begins to fill up and the show starts...

The dancing horses come out, Johnny yawns. Then the elephants, Johnny tries to stay awake. And then the act Johnny has waited a year for, the clowns. The clowns run around and do their act making everyone laugh. Johnny wonders why everyone is laughing, it's the same act they did last year. When all this is finished, the head clown picks up a microphone, exactly the same as last year, and says "Now we'd like to pick a member of the audience to help with our show."

All the lights go out and a spotlight circles the crowd. and, as luck should have it again, it lands on Johnny. Johnny is sits cool, calm and collected. The head clown comes up to him and says..

"Hey mister, are you the horse's head?"

"No." Johnny replies.

"Are you the horse's ear?"

"No"

"Are you the horse's tail?"

"No"

"Then you must be the horse's ASS!!!!"

And again the whole tent erupts with laughter. Except for Johnny. He sits there staring straight at the clown, a look of pure evil and hate on his face. The laughter quickly dies down as everyone knows something is going to happen.

The crowd watched.

This is Johnny's moment.

He takes a deep breath, calmly grabs the the microphone, looks the clown dead in the eyes and says...

"F*** YOU, CLOWN!"
