Animations, Bobbleheads, Experience perks

Post » Mon Mar 14, 2011 9:20 pm

Just wondering a few things -

Have the animations improved from FO3?
The running/walking animations were just so awful >_< I know it's not game breaking but still...

Are there Bobbleheads I'll need to constantly worry about when leveling my character?
For example in FO3 you couldn't max anything stats at the beginning without wasting Bobblehead points. :| Really irritated me.

Are there experience gain perks?
Another pet peeve of mine, despite them being optional, hated in FO3 how certain perks were utterly useless because of level scaling + there's a max level, so any and all experience gain perks(and potentially others) were pointless.

The movement animations have been tweaked. Better? You decide.

No bobbleheads. There are snowglobes, but they do not provide any stat adjustment. You can only sell them for 2k caps to Mr. House

Yes, there's the extra XP and instant level up perks.

I wouldn't call level up and xp gain perks useless. They don't help you if you plan on having a robust endgame at max level, but for someone trying to run expediently through the main storyline, they are a useful way of being more effective. In the long run though, I do agree that a "free level" perk basically does nothing but actually rob you of a perk slot.

No bows/arrows.

Player housing is a bit of a spoiler since it's quest related. The Vault wiki has some info and there's a thread or two in the spoiler forum.

According to another thread there doesn't seem to be new hair, but there is new facial hair.

there is actuallt bobleheads, but they are just collectibles and the snowglobes provide a stat adjustment, but only as long as they are in your invintory
