OFFICIAL Fallout 4 (Discussion)

[erocker]

I couldn't care less about the actual effect it has on the area, but it has to make at least half sense in the world of fucking physics. Is this really what the franchise has become? Oversimplified borderline arcade game for masses?

Yes. Might as well forget about this game and never post about it again... Please... Worst Gaem evar.!!1!!

I must be playing this game all wrong. I went to Bedford and am getting creamed. Also, rads through the roof with no radaway. And my power armor ran out of juice! Help!

The more south west you go the harder the game. I haven't got to Bedford yet... is it far down?

It says there are only Ghouls there. I think I was able to clear it if I remember right. I am about level 6 I think.... It seems to be near the starting area. Its southeast of Sanctuary.

I have been able to manage the radiation levels just fine so far, I don't have a ton of RADAWAY but have had enough to get by.

Also too I read that the power suit is not really necessary to use to defeat enemies.... more of just there to have fun with and upgrade etc....

I would recommend leaving the suit near your the repair station so you can add upgrades/repair it. Once you run out of juice it will automatically leave the suit where you ran out of energy.

There is a repair station?

Yup, there will be one at each settlement that you come across. I just set up my base at Sanctuary though and I left my armor suit there.

This is where you can repair the broken pieces, add upgrades... etc....

Also too, if you haven't tinkered with the the workstation yet (Map editing) its at least worth noting that you have a Workshop storage and all extra items you don't want to carry can be stored, and also all material you scrap will be automatically stored here.

I believe if you hold X, that allows you enter/exit the armor suit

Hey just wondering how much HD space the game actually uses when installed. I have 49.8GB left. Wondering if I need to finish Heart of Stone and uninstall TW3 first.

If I remember correctly the install size was about 25 gigs? - Somebody please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks, I should be able to squeeze it on.

I know the requirements are 30GB but my TW3 install is significantly less than the requirements.

Yeah if you run out of juice you have to leave your PA behind but it shows up on your map as a icon so you can locate it again.

I found a computer terminal that provided me some info on where some shipments went and one of the shipments were the power cores...so I need to find that facility to score some cores.

Jumping off buildings while wearing the power armor is awesome. You land like a super hero...makes me feel all bad ass.


walked into a city last night that is loaded with ghouls. Wow the ghouls are pretty fast with their juking and their animations are great. They don't stop following you either. 4-5 of them followed me well out of the city before I realized I had to just stop and fight. Thank god for the dog. That little bastard has saved my life several times now.

Found that same terminal! I believe it was in the Gas station that you can build around.

Thanks Octo. I look forward 3 years from now catching this on a mega sale at GOG, and hopefully, these will all be fixed

Thanks! That's quite a list. I'm a HUGE Bethesda fan, but not a fanboy who ignores the plethora of bugs and says "best game ever!". Fans can actually like a product and point out its faults.

I will play it after a bit when some of the first patches are out and the mod community is huge. Don't want to wait for updates to mods every week when a patch comes out breaking them.

 

[hellrazor]

Oh, but I have. After playing a lot of F3 I was unimpressed with it as it looked and worked basically the same as F3. Just recently played it through and it still felt like F3, better in places but basically the same game. To be honest, I like F3 more then NV because it pioneered the modern Fallout experience while NV improved it's rough spots and in the same time leaving much as it was. I want to explore F4 because it already looks different and feels different. Oh well, I'll just go and enjoy the game.

No, you haven't, or you'd clearly remember the ability to craft your own ammo and you'd never say such a broad statement as "It's an improvement in all aspects of its predecessors."

Well, for me it is. Found the crafting system too much of a hassle with little reward.

 

[lilhasselhoffer]

The same crafting system from Fallout 3?

The only difference being both more things to craft, and more use for those items which could be crafted?


What about the dichotomy of "small" and "big" guns. How about the inability to repair certain weapons because for some inane reason there was one of them in game. Or maybe perhaps having such a limited amount of ammo, while enemies constantly scaled up in health? What about there only being one NPC (prior to the DLC) who could really fix anything in the wasteland (that 15-20% fix was bull crap).


I'm sorry, but the only way 3 surpassed New Vegas was in bug hilarity. You've got some rosy glasses to say otherwise. If you don't believe me, go back and play them again. I am inside New Vegas, after completing 3, and there's no contest. If you'd like to argue, then make it about your perception. Stating that, as a fact 3 was better because it pioneered systems is foolish. By that logic, you should prefer System Shock 2 above any of the Bethesda Fallout games. All of the mechanics found in Fallout 3 were pioneered there.





Sorry, back on topic. That list of bugs is pretty generous. Perhaps, now that Bethesda is confirming them, somebody would like to tell me I don't have any clue as to what I'm talking about?

 

[moproblems99]

Since you asked, you don't have a clue what you are talking about.

EDIT: I suppose I should add: J/K. I don't even know what he is talking about. Just taking your post literally when he said: 'Perhaps...somebody would like to tell me I don't have any clue as to what I'm talking about?' No seriousness involved.

 

[Easy Rhino]

wow guys, it is just a game.

I heard a lot of people ditch the power armor right after they meet Preston Garvey. I ditched the dog after I met him because I rather have the Lone Wanderer perk and not deal with inventory management. I built a dog house in Sanctuary and just assigned him to it

 

[BumbleBee]

 

[WhiteNoise]

Ahhh Bumblebee...how could you leave him behind? No worries though...he helps me take down beasties on a regular basis and he warns me of possible lurking evil.

Open the console and type tgm
Type it again to disable.

Sounds like a few reviewers trying to wing it by comparing plot points and features/quirks etc of the previous games to F4... You could tell they'd never played them.

I just spent a good 2 hours in sanctuary, crafting to try to make it a better place.
I also discovered that after I exited my power armor I was just in my undies.

There is two other sets of power armor on the railroad tracks.
