Fallout 4 thoughts

Storm_knight22

As I am sure you're all aware by now FALLOUT 4 IS COMING! There isn't much to be said about it here on the ESO forums but one request/suggestion.

I would like to see a Fallout 4 preorder bonus of an ESO vanity pet. Nothing lore breaking of course, no deathclaws or Brahmin mount. But a pet mole rat or a Dogmeat look alike would be really cool.

I would pay good crowns for a dogmeat shepard style dog

Bethesda makes Fallout, ZOS makes this game. They just happened to be published by the same company.

No.. just happen to be owned by.. not published by. Not quite the same thing.

Right, but they are both published by Bethesda Softworks.

So? It'd be a great cross-promotion for the parent company. Nobody who was already going to preorder Fallout would decide not to preorder it if they did, while you might have some people who were on the fence about preordering decide to go ahead with it because of such a promotion. You might get a few Fallout fans curious about ESO and get them to try it in the process. The only potential downside is the cost of creating the pet itself, and the cost involved in administration for the codes. Both should be pretty minimal based on the example provided by the pet codes given out with the purchase of things like TES plushies (something with a much smaller target audience than Fallout 4).

I was just pointing it out just in case, seems some people didn't know that.

Yeah but EA Publishes DICE game (Battlefield etc.) They also publish other stuff. No real conenction.

Zeni owns its sub-studios and Clumps a lot of stuff under the bethsoft.com page

If you look at Bethesda store, they mix the stuff up. Fallout plushies, doom plushies and ESO plushies all on the same page etc.

Cross promotion is not a really far reach.

I would just take a loose Shepard dog unaffiliated with any franchise though.
@UrQuan underestimates the power and draw of the plushie.. o.O

Surprised this thread hasn't been closed yet since "it isn't related to ESO".

buuuut... Heck yea Fallout 4!!!

Not going to lie, I've seriously considered getting both the guar and bull netch plushies. I'm actually somewhat amazed I haven't broken down and ordered the bull netch already. And now I'm thinking about it even more...

Gidorick

I like the idea. A dogmeat pet would be perfect!

But it is related to ESO. We're talking about possible cross-promotion with ESO, and how much we'd like to see it, and hoping that's a big hint that ZOS passes on... I know for me personally 90% chance a promotion like that would get me to pre-order Fallout 4, as opposed to just waiting until it's on sale to buy it.

Seth_Black

Stop mixing everything

I'm also very happy to see new Fallout game (and hope it's in Boston) but I don't think they would put ANYTHING Fallout related in ESO crown store. That would be clearly stupid
Bethesda store ...that's the other thing and they separate by brand anyway, so everything can go there.
Hoping for some nice T-shirts and posters maybe?

*sigh* Just nevermind. Some don't get it. Basically what @Seth_Black said.

Osteos

Dead Space had a Mass Effect armor so you never know.

I'm really looking forward to Fallout 4! And if there was a pet related to it available in eso I would definitely get it.

wrlifeboil

I doubt that Zenimax will mix Fallout 4 items with items in ESO's crown store. Why make the bean counters' job more complicated.

Also, Bethsoft probably has to pay royalties to Interplay on Fallout-related items they sell so I doubt ZOS would get a cut. And if ZOS wouldn't get a cut, what would be their incentive to list Fallout in the ESO store?

Yes, I am going to buy Fallout 4.

StaticWax

Reported.

RSram

I would buy a Cyborg-Dwemer dog from the crown store.

Carde

Everyone knows that Fallout is just the distant future of the Elder Scrolls universe.

Bethesda owns Fallout, including any future Fallout Online, and would not have to pay Interplay anything. That has all been resolved, to the favor of Bethesda.

On the subject of ESO store merchandise, I cannot see how anything immediately identifiable as being from a post-nuclear holocaust game could be placed into a medieval fantasy game and have it make sense. It would have to be something so generic that we would have to draw the line ourselves, like the German Shepard named "dogmeat" as a pet.

I would pick up Dogmeat if it were made available. Not because I like Fallout (I do), because I like German Shepards.

kevlarto_ESO

Looks good ,I am sure I will pick it up when the price drops, played all the Fallout games always fun to me, I really hope they never make a Fallout mmo, it would never be good enough and tarnish the franchise.

Naivefanboi

Ewww no, but i dont count as i have zero intrest.
If they ever add co op id be in.

I was wondering if I was going to get smacked for that.

Was it confirmed already its made by Bethesda? That means we aint getting ES6 in any time soon. ES6 is like 2020...

delushin

If the trailer is in game footage which seems to be the fallout 3 engine combined with that awkward dog animation and those dated textures, I would like to know what the hell they have been doing?

Unless the trailer was showcasing the WiiU release?

To be fair, Fallout games have always relied more on the awesome quests and the storyline rather than having the best graphics. Plus, that is a trailer, who knows what the game will actually look like on a decent system...not to mention there will be a ton of mods for the graphics just like there always are for single-player games nowadays.

Dogmeat is not a german shepherd.
