I'm honestly concerned about some of these rumors that are around T.T

Like no female protagonist unless you beat the game once.
No SPECIAL
Voiced Protagonist (I honestly don't want one. Witcher 3 is different because I'm playing Geralt, not "My character", and when it came to Dragon Age I just never felt invested with my own character.)

You shouldn't believe these gossips. I mean, can you imagine Bethesda being THAT stupid?

Here's where the rumors started
https://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/28v2dn/i_played_fallout_4
A Reddit post from someone almost a year ago claiming to be a former Bethesda employee, as revenge she tried to spoil Fallout 4 as much as she could. Not saying I believe it's true but you do have to take it into consideration.

If she actually was a woman who worked there and was fired.. that would make it easy for Bethesda to ID her and sue her ass into the Stone Age for violating any number of NDAs.  

So I don't buy it.

I agree with you completely, just saying that's where the rumors are coming from. Also to all who read this post I HIGHLY suggest staying away from the Fallout page on Reddit, it's chaos over there.

You're right LordEdwarius. I should stay away from everything. I should honestly stay away from Nexus because they keep discussing it as well. I'll just take a breather and wait, hoping for the best.

Then you better avoid E3 like the plague, usiel, because Fallout 4/Bethesda will have one of the biggest presences there.

The Nexus? By golly I haven't even thought about checking it out since this whole thing started. But I like it better here, more discussion about the actual trailer than rumors on the side.

One thing that makes me happy about the trailer... the protectron! Call me weird, but I love those guys. I've actually went into GECK and flagged most of them as non-hostile, so that I don't have to kill so many.

The Protectron was amazing looking. It looked as if it were weathered due to lack of being kept up. It looked like an actual robot. Come to think of it, Protectrons are pretty extraordinary remaining online for 200 YEARS?! The only logical explanation would be if it were solar powered but from what you can loot off of them I think they're powered by Fission batteries, which is probably the most remarkable invention of the Fallout world, they can last for centuries. It's a wonder why people fought over energy supplies when these little things were so powerful, granted their energy consumption must have been monstrous.

Oh crap Tesvixen now you've got me started on the energy consumption of the Fallout world.

@LordEdwardius They're selling vinyl POP models of the female Lone Wanderer on Bethesda's store page marked as "Pre-Sale", so there's no way the Reddit post could be true. Whoever posted that is an asshat with no life.

I never said I thought it was true.

Its just a trailer.
The game will look diffrent for sure,like all games and trailers do,I mean the trailer should look as best as possible to impress people,not to show us how the game will look like.

Remember the E3 Fallout 3 trailer? Yeah, the in-game graphics were exactly the same. I don't think Bethesda will ever use cgi and shit to showcase F4 and TES games. And the video itself doesn't even looks like it was pre-rendered or cgi or anything (the animations, the visual quality, the atmosphere, if it wasn't real in-game records, then the animations would have been smoother and more action-like and convincing, rather than soldiers standing at one spot using only an idle animation and everyone running panicking with the same moves and slow as hell, not that I'm picking the game, just pointing out reasons why I don't think it's cgi or pre-rendered for marketing sake). Which is good, I'd prefer to know what to expect rather than more doubts.

"Bethesda Gameworks presents:
A Bethesda Gameworks' game with colors!"

Everyone: OMGGGGGG YES!

Removing character customization is a big step in the wrong direction, and I'm confident that Bethesda knows that. They didn't have to announce Fallout 4 this year, and I'm sure they're confident in a finished game that everyone will buy.
Even if they are an ex-employee with a grudge they're working with outdated information that could have been changed a dozen times since they saw any of it.

Regardless of whether that post is true, which it probably isn't, all of the Fallout POP!s that've been shown so far are based off of Fallout 3. They're depicting a generic male and female protagonist from Fallout 3, not Fallout 4.

I'm so psyched for this, this is going to be amazing!

Anyway back to Fission batteries..what was I saying? Oh yes, they're truly remarkable, the wiki says their power conservation technologies were pretty crappy compared to ours by the year 2050, but I guess desperate times call for desperate measures and power tech spiked (at least Nuclear power tech did) Another amazing thing about the Fission battery, how could you squeeze a nuclear fission reaction into that small of a space? I know it's not a full on reactor but you'd need quite a large space to conatian a fission reaction. Even the smallest Atomic bombs were quite large and that's an example of an uncontrolled reaction. But Eddie, we have Fission batteries, it's called betavoltics. I know I know, actually, betavoltaic cells last quite awhile...they were used in pacemakers until lithium-ion batteries came out, perhaps if the tech were developed in such a society that practically worshiped Nuclear tech as a godsend, which is exactly what we find in fallout...wait...guys.........I figured out what fission batteries are! They're Betavoltaic cells! Anyone agree?

Do any of you think I'm right? Or is my understanding of betavoltics to immature? Do I need to do more research?

To the wiki! Finally! Something to do!

Staff edit: merged your 2 posts. When you have something else to add to a previous post, edit it instead of posting a separate second/third post.
