But if you want me to bop around in the woods again, I won't go with anything less than a top map and a proper Silva compass, because that's all I ever knew or was taught. Now I can't remember a thing, haven't seen one since then. Sad thing is, I used to be the best teacher in my corps for learning topographical maps. About the most complicated programme I ever made, was a topographical map converter that did all the calculations that told you where magnetic north really is right now. If universe, lore, story, characters, locations mean nothing to you, then yeah i guess they are pretty similar. Anyway there are a lot of differences between Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Makes sense, but I can't fault anyone for bad coding, since the only coding I've ever done was in Commodore Basic, maybe 30 years ago, and I don't remember a thing. Because its covered in snow and Fallout 4 will be built using the same engine, but again doesnt mean there will be snow. It's because gamebryo engine views everything as either an interior or exterior cell, exterior cell can have weather effects but it does a bad job of checking for something over the player's head because Bethesda can't code physics It might seem like a small thing, but the weather in a world like the Commonwealth can make a huge difference when it comes to immersion.

Probably because it doesn't see houses we build as separate cells or something, like Skyrim made us go through loading screens to get into our Hearthfire houses, which had no rain in.
