Ugh...
The "Todd Howard envisioned" Fallout series. Not exactly filling me with enthusiasm. Checkpoints galore; Dogmeat, Radroaches, Yao Guai's, Ghouls, Fallout was always about the world itself, how tough it was surviving in such a landscape which has been decimated for centuries. Howard always likes to act like the bombs dropped yesterday in his games and that was never the point. 'What would humanity be like 100 years after a nuclear apocalypse?' Everything always looks too 'clean'.
I hope somewhere that Cain has had more influence over the story, otherwise it'll just be a fan-service inspired mess of "ooh that was in the game, I 'member that!".
