Fallout 4 Announcement TODAY!

[Tritch]

Well they have voice now and the story I heard he's searching for his wife and kid. So that's probably their excuse.

[Jennifer]

yayyy heteronormativity as well as exclusion!

[Black Death]

rumor and more than likely not true ,  you been able to play as male or female throughout the series. I don't see that changing now ,  if you have a voice now , more than likely he voice by Troy Barker , ( dude is awesome )  and female voice  you go and get Jennifer Hale ( you know her from mass effect as Fem Shep and she is awesome also )

plus if story is searching for your family , it ease be done as an female looking for husband and child.   that not hard to do , plus it make sense with the trailer , your character is either man or the women in the pre-war footage , you got  to the vault before the bombs drop  as you saw in the footage ,  vault 111 maybe it was cryogenics, seeing how long they can keep human frozen  , you were frozen along with your family , but system malfunction and woke your family up before you  and than you wake up  sometime later to find them gone and you leave the vault to search for them. 

that make sense seeing at the end of the trailer showing the dog running to the top of the vault now open and than switch to the vault close and the bomb hits

[Jennifer]

As I said, I hope it's just conjecture, I've just heard the same thing from a number of sources and it got my hackles up.

Not sure if there is much to this,  but I heard the main storyline is as a male and once completed you gain access to a new setting and can be male or female.

Personally I've always loved that in fallout you can be anyone you want and hope it's not that restricting.

[BamBamBunglow]

Bethesda has for YEARS made it open to all. It's one of the reason the Elder Scrolls series has been so successful. I really, REALLY cannot see them going along the "Male only" route - especially in a time when it's such a ridiculously hypersensitive subject.

I'd say don't believe it 'til it's confirmed - nothing has actually come out, it's all "A source claims" and "A leaked insider". That sort of shit isn't hard to fake online. hell, look at how many FF7 rumours started because someone faked a "leak claim".

Not that it bothers me in any way, shape or form - but I get why it bothers others.

[BamBamBunglow]

Haha, I just found the "source" of this rumour. It's confirmed bullshit.

It's a post on Reddit from about 11 months ago. She claimed she was fired for leaking to another spoiler website (Kotaku). Kotaku have come out and said "Uhhh no, she didn't". The only thing they had was a casting call for voice actors for Male & Female Heroes

[Drama Queen]

Allegedly one cannot play as a female character.

I really, really, really hope that it's random scuttlebutt and not true, because in a game with a customisable protagonist, not being able to pick gender is inexcusable.

I'm going off topic, but that is the deal breaker as to why I refused to get the latest wwe game.

That's reassuring, Bam. I'm not very good at tracking down these kinds of things and I heard it from a friend who's usually reliable so far as game rumours go. I shall resume my hype. ^^;

One thing I learned when it comes to internet rumors, it's all bullshit until proven otherwise.

[Marq]

The graphics thing isn't a deal-breaker, just something I noted.

Anywho, it's got my attention as I'm a big fan of the "Fallout" series, but I just thought it was a little "meh" on the trailer. Will most likely get it, though probably not on launch day.

[Tritch]

Well you have to take into consideration two things about the trailer.

1. It's super early. Nobody knew for sure that the game was coming, just a bunch of rumors (which we confirmed in this thread aren't always true lol). So it's still quite early. They probably haven't beta tested yet or anything.

2. Many game trailers coming out now are all souped up to make them look better than the actual game. The new Battlefront trailer, for instance. Guarantee that game looks nothing like the trailer. So when you get used to theatrical trailers for games, seeing one where the developer wants to show you what the game will actually look like might make it seem bland.

[Judge]

Already pre-ordered.  I'm a huge fallout geek.  I have some RPG source books that were written to convert the game system into a table-top RPG.  I never actually played it but I had to have it.  I even like the Brotherhood of Steel game.
