Where have you got that from? In the screens I've seen you can choose what you say during convos.
Trailers and the E3 footage. You choose words from a wheel, but the character says something different, and also they say things without you choosing anything as well.
In previous FO, TES games, you were the character, and had complete control over them at all times.
these look awesome cant wait for the 10th

Indeed the videos here show you being able to select from 4 different statements.

I'm in two minds about it. On the one hand I'm happy with that system in mass effect but as has been said its a change for fallout. At the end of the day I won't really know until I've played it for a while but I'm completely confident I'm going to like it. It'll be different but still going to be a great game

The way to seems to be working in 4 is that you'll always have a preset number of response types (...fortunately bound to each button on a controller face.) There'll be a neutral statement, questioning (request clarification), positive (kind/leaning in favour), and negative (aggressive) response.
So basically the dialogue choice will be the same everytime, and leaves little room for creative/unique responses found in previous titles such as NV. Plus it's not like NV where you can fully understand what your character is actually going to "say", unlike 4 where you base your potential response off a brief "tag".
Also not really liking the new perks thus far (if you haven't already checked it out, some guy compiled a list based off leaked gameplay of the in-game chart.) All the perks just seem to be percentage increases for your base skills, nothing too interesting or off the wall. However it's hard to tell since the gameplay showed mostly perks that had already been invested into (you can level up a perk multiple times for increased benefits), so maybe the first time you choose a perk it gives you something interesting to play around with.
I've also heard they removed weapon repairs and the karma/reputation systems entirely? Hopefully they're still there, but just as invisible stats.

The perk chart looks fantastic
XB1 gameplay leaked videos here. Gfx look poor in motion I hope the PC is a big step up otherwise Bethesda will have a lot of refund requests on Steam! :

Surely though we can't actually be complaining about giving us the choice so we can choose to use vats or just use the improved fps mechanics. Means you can constantly switch around depending what you fancy for each encounter

Xbox one is probably rendering at 1080p/30, with very scaled back graphics. I wouldn't make any judgements based on that...
I've got a bad feeling it's going to be very average.
It's the first in the series I've not pre-ordered. The gameplay so far looks slow and clunky and the graphics look dated and very low res. I know gfx do not make a game but hopefully the Modders will sort those issue's out.
Hope not average I already bought the game & season pass on Steam. Gfx are not everything but it should at least look like Skyrim being its the same engine. The low quality models lack polygons & textures lack detail thats not something that can be easily fixed perhaps PC gets a free HD texture pack !

Ok, so what major developments have come about in the last couple of months to put everyone on the back foot?
A lot of comments about not being sure. Why?
