Lockpicking probably will be vital early, you're right. As for strength, crafting now requires you to pick up everything in the game, so I figure even early on I'll probably be spending more time overcucumbered than I care to.
There are three places that I've heard of that you can settle. As far as I can tell, the first one might be right outside the vault and probably apart of the tutorial section.
I haven't heard much about the base building system yet outside of the E3 footage, so this is good to know. I do hope we get at least something in the beginning, because we're going to be picking up everything from baby bottles to toasters for spare parts, and the weight is going to be immense.

Yeah, the first zone looks suburban and the area outside the vault looks like that, so it's likely. Also, the map has been leaked via the companion app, the only leak I'll look at.

It seemed like the area around the vault was where our protagonist used to live, so I figured it would be suburban. I'll have to check the map out, and I agree, that's the only leak I'll look at. The map isn't that big of a deal I don't think, it doesn't really give anything away.
This isn't relevant to that, but I was listening to an interview with the two voice actors for the protagonists, and they were saying that depending on if you pick male or female some of the dialog might change up, because there will be scenarios where your character might remember their spouse or something along those lines. They didn't go too far in depth, but I think that might bring some life to the dialog.
Personally I'm looking forward to the voiced protagonists, because not only will it bring a new feel to the game that isn't unwelcome in my opinion, I think it might make the game more immersive rather than less as some have proposed. Putting a voice to the words was one of the few things I actually preferred in Dragon Age 2 over Origins.

I'm super excited for voice protagonists. There has already information given that there will be more dialogue than Fallout 3 and New Vegas combined. That is a very great feat, I think it was... 175,000 lines.... or something like that.

My friends and I have a longstanding tradition when we play games with character creation. In order to determine what gender we play first I… more flip a 2005 Lewis & Clark nickel for best two out of three, heads being female and the side with a tree being male. So, with Fallout coming out and the protagonists being voiced for the first time in the series, I figured I'd extend the offer to anyone having trouble deciding. Thus far I've flipped for myself and two others, I'll be playing a female first run through as will one friend, and the other will play a male. So if any of you are undecided and would like to leave the decision to the nickel just let me know.
No problem, and thank you. I don't really even remember how it became the traditional method, or even what game it was originally for, but we've been doing it for years. It takes away all the guess work and second thoughts, so it's been pretty nice.
I am worried about the dialogue options. One of the reasons why I love Fallout, it is because that the protagonist can have different dialogue options depending how intelligent or how charismatic they are. Do you think that we will still have that in Fallout 4?

It always confuses me when games have gender options/multiple protagonists, but don't show it in the trailers. like how all the tv trailers for the new Assassin's Creed only show the male lead. Why? If you've got it, flaunt it!
It's because developers still think gamers see themselves in game protagonists... They're not wrong, per se, but the thing is, nowadays most gamers just see slaves in their pcs... It's all about being able to control someone you find hot. Now, don't mind me, I'm all for that, it turns me on... But just fucking admit it, people...

That's slowly changing - the developers at the moment are ones who grew up in the 90s, when far fewer women played games and so fewer became interested in them at a young age. In 2030 or so it'll be much more even, in all likelihood, especially as nowadays fewer women are told/disencouraged from wanting to do a technical career as has been a common occurrence in the past.
This is the up to date measure for women in ALL videos games on PC or Console (not including things like farmville and mobile games that people claim massively skew the stats..)
The Y axis is proportion of women, and the red bar is the combined total in PC and console gaming, so roughly 50 perfect/45% (higher in RPGs than FPSs though).
I can't find the exact stastics I'm thinking of - I remember they were posted by a dev on the Bioware Forums last year or so, but I'm looking for them. But even still, bearing in mind the above, and that women play more RPGs than FPS games, it must be pretty close to 50%.

Ooh, very good point. I guess i'll be making more fast travel trips than I planned.
Also no room to breath.
Never forget 9/10 couldnt breath
Hopefully we get a place to settle relatively early so we have somewhere to store all out junk.
Fucking lol m8

In total for the game I believe. I heard that there are over 13,000 lines done by the protagonists themselves.
I've already decided to play as a female first, but I thank you for the offer and I think that you have a pretty cool method for choosing.
No problem, and thank you. I don't really even remember how it became the traditional method, or even what game it was originally for, but we've been doing it for years. It takes away all the guess work and second thoughts, so it's been pretty nice.

Of course, they'll likely show up different colors or something.
HYPE!

If you want to head into this game blind, I wouldn't watch this.
I know slightly something I shouldn't....I better not watch this...
Great to see the female Sole Survivor finally getting some love in the advertisements.
Agreed.
Mark Jefferson's (Life is Strange) voice at 0:52. I wonder what sort of character he will be here.
Hyyyyyyyype... If I could just sit and stare at this timer for four days I would.
Kinda surprised and glad that this looks more story based this time around.

But lots of developers are female. And half of RPG players are female.
And yet the majority of the developers are still male. Also, any sources that can confirm your second statement?

"Surveys conducted by analyst firm Superdata Research have found that in the US, women play more PC games overall than men. They also play more RPGs on PC than men, while men outnumber women in the FPS and MMO genres."
Who conducted the study? I would like to see an actual source. I'm curious if the rate has really rised that much.
When you like both the voice actors alot and now you cant choose on if you are going to be male of female
Very well.
Be careful while looking for fallout news guys, the ending has been leaked!!
Jesus! That is quick!

It'll be easy for me to choose. Courtenay Taylor nuff said. Female for me!!
Yeah, I think im leaning towards the female character aswell
I love both of the voices and while female is VERY tempting, I'm going to go male, just to kinda role play myself through it.
Ikr, gah dayum!
Gotta give props to the male Sole Survivor for hitting dat.
It says which company conducted the study in the case of the second set of statistics - Superdata Research.
