The Bethesda conference is probably just gonna be like 4's.
Here's my thoughts before I sleep over it:
- I was right in that the main focus on every sense is rebuilding, and it can be to a quite vast extent seeing that whole restored manor
- I was wrong in that it's a smaller project. The opposite, all the stakes are in development rise, with two studios and now not only "twice as big as Skyrim" but "four times bigger then fo4" (so eight times bigger than Skyrim!

).
- There seems to be more exploration in the traditional Bethesda way, which is fully understandable seeing it's their main skill. It's complimented by a seemingly way more varied scenery (we haven't even seen a "main city' yet and it looks more standout than the commonwealth).
- that flying "gargoyle" creature was really weird because the Metro Exodus trailer ended with something REALLY similar to it at least on silhouette attacking the PC. The other new creature looks cool too, and it's a joy to not have seen raiders yet, and no signs of Supermutants or other factions. I can guess to catch glimpses of them, like Fo4 did with the Enclave, but other than that rather missing.
- I feel like because of how the trailer is framed with characters, pretty each shot having one with different looks while the vault dweller goes last, that's maybe where multiplayer, or multiple playable characters, are implied.
- The Vault Dweller seems to have a personality, but I'm gonna hold by breath for either no VA, or a light version of it. Again, considering more than a single playable character.
- It was nice for the T-51 to be a core element of the structure. It was the very first thing everyone saw, and it was nice to have that symbol rather than some pointless new design.
- Foliage and shadows! It all seems to be in a different iteration of the engine or a rather advanced version of CE. It's linked with an apparent bigger diversity of environments, which 4 took an unsteady step towards.
- Who the hell is the narrator, anyway?
- that's about it for me. I think there's gonna be the same treatment of 4 in the Bethesda conference, saved for last.
