What do you guys think of a prone mode for Fallout4? Do you think Bethesda should add this or nah?

It'd be cool if there was prone mode but I don't think bethesda would implement that just the way gameplay has been for the past fallout games

Good Question, I never thought of that. It would nice nice if they did actually added that. If not then it's whatever.

This is one of those things that I never really thought of until you mentioned it. And now that you have, I think it'd be really cool to have implemented. Imagine you're sneaking up on a group of raiders, and one starts turning your direction, you quickly duck into the grass. The raider doesn't see you. You crawl into cover, pull out your rifle and shoot them from a strategic position. It would be awesome to have it in. As cool as it may be in theory, I don't think it would be implemented by Bethesda. I just don't think it would either A.) work well in game. Or B.) see Bethesda use their time on that feature. Oh well! A guy can hope right?

I really hope this happens. I've wondered if anyone would/could've made a mod for it, but to see it actually integrated would be great. Kind of like how we got ADS in New Vegas when FO3 only had 'zoom'.

There was a Prone mod for FNV and it was be nice to see a prone stance for Fallout 4 but I doubt Bethesda will include such an option.

Being able to prone would be great. I could edit a buttload of my ported weapons to have their bipods deployed, and pretend the bipods are actually useful. Dreaming until then. Unless anyone is fine have a firearm on your back with it's bipod unfolded. Just sticking out there..

Meh.. such addition is not necessary imho. Besides it's fun for screenshots and scuh, it's really unpractical to actually use it. But maybe I am wrong and is it a great addition

I think Bethesda takes a stance of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it.", despite it also having "If it's broke, Also don't fix it." too, Prone is unlikely, As awesome as it would be.

The stances work just fine in the game as they are, I don't think a prone stance is something that belongs in Fallout, much less something Bethesda would work on.

prone mode in fallout 4 would be game changing for me as I do play a lot of black ops and fps games,so I think having prone will increase my survival in game by a lot.

if Bethesda goes through the nexus, which i hope they do, they would have a very lengthy list of features that we want.

vegas has a mod for going prone, but it doesn't play well with iron sights and some optics that dont enter the scope screen, idk if was a limitation of the mod author or the game engine, but one thing i would really like to see in f4 is actual optics, not the black screen with a reticle in the center

I wouldn't imagine the purpose prone would play in the game besides for stealth options and some minor shooting applications in the game. I honestly wouldn't care for such a feature on Fallout, since this doesn't really seem to be the kind of game where it would become useful that often. To me prone can ever only be useful in shooter games, and fallout with all the guns you may use, isn't strictly a shooter game, it just wouldn't really fit the flow is all in my opinion.

It would be nice to have smoother shots taking out scores of Legion troops and Deathclaws with the Anti-Material Rifle in the game though

How about stop the speculations, and wait lol some of you just keep speculating and speculating what if or i wish, or maybe, to I hope. Just be happy we are getting it this year=D All the clues they want to give are all in the concept artwork and videos/pics they have let us see so far. take it as it comes, speculating can spread rumors and not so happy players when they think a speculation is a real thing.

Yes they should so add this it would make combat more interesting and also the sneaking more interesting which I think would be awesome!

I would love to be able to change stance in fallout 4, as lucky said it would make sneaking better and it would make the game more realistic as well. I mean in real life if you were trying to snipe somebody you would lay down to get a better shot at the target.
Also if somebody were to make a ghille suit mod or port over one of the already made ones then somebody could make them so they improve your chances of staying undetected, say if you were laying in grass or something
