SPRINTING CONFIRMED! [3]
Possible destructible environments but no confirmation yet.
The XB1 is being updated to run on Windows 10 and will thus support SOME PC mods! Graphical mods such as texture packs are possible, lighting mods unlikely, ENB out of the question. It's moreso content mods (new weapons, new quests, new enemies) that will likely be doable, but that depends on whether the system allows implementing new textures and models. If not it's probably just things like quest mods and stat rebalances.

Seems to be a specific type of Sentry Bot designed for sieges.
fuck you raiders SAY HELLO TO MY MORTAR CANNON.
Plant crops and get people to settle. Even special traders with amazing items will move in!
DOG
Command system ala Skyrim's but seemingly more fluid and thus BETTER!
Feels more like expansion rather than sequel. No gameplay yet or mechanics.
Noticed the mutants running and banging against the shopping cart. Possibly indicating some kind of environment barricade or use your environment type of gameplay.
SO far only Fallout 2 starts a character not from the vault. I wish they followed that instead.
Noticed also in the trailer they show T51b armor guarding the entrance of the 'vault' during the panic and what seem to be a missile silo the people are standing on.
Could it be the base of the BoS?
No other vaults have T51b armors, only military bases have it.
