One of the really attention getting features that has come out of the Fallout 4 announcement was the apparent implementation of a Vertibird as an armed transport.
We don't know a lot of specifics yet, so let's speculate!
Our new YouTube partner Gym Leader Matt has posted up a great discussion video this week that looks at some the possible ways in which this might all play out:
Have a look, and tell us what you think below!
I wouldn't mind at all if this replaced fast travel. It'd be way more interesting to be able to see the wasteland whizzing by below you, and take pot shots at mutants and raider settlements on the way. Jumping out of that bird while fully girded in power armor (with a jetpack, naturally) in a shock and awe assault would be about as badass as it gets.
Remember there will be those players will probably only play through it once, or they are completely focused on becoming as powerful as possible so they don't really care that much about the stuff they miss. Also not everyone has say 20 minutes to walk from one side of the map to the other just to talk to one guy and then have to go elsewhere.
I never understood why people would glitch the oghma infinium to get straight to level 81 from the start (since I can see no point in playing the game if you start off maxed out) and yet there were people who said they prefered it.
From the looks of it there's at least someone sitting in the left seat, cause I can see what looks like an arm when he gets in the vertibird and the camera spins around to look out the side
Edit: you can also see the outline of someone through the window when it takes off again
