Fallout 4 has gone gold; leaked gameplay vids

Settlement question for those that know:

How do I establish supply lines between settlements? I have both ranks of the local leader perk.

Look at settler, push R1 (if you're on PS4), then a list of settlements comes up. Select the settlement and that's it.
 
So in order to be able to explore everything fully what will you need? Lockpick, Intelligence for hacking I assume, and I suppose the breathing underwater perk?
 
New player for the Fallout franchise. I have a question: How do you guys play this game?

Do a build that sounds/seems resonable, than play the game until it's impossible to progress due to bad points distribution? And then, start over?

Or do most of you just know how the game works?

Or do you actually wait for good builds to appear on the internet?
 
Intelligence and Perception 4 unlocks Hacking and Lock picking perks, so get upto those levels at least.

Cool, cool :)

Looking at the map it seems like there's a huge body of water available to be explored. I wonder if that alone will make the breathing underwater perk worth investing on.

Also, I wonder if all melee character will be viable enough, especially with so many of the enemies seem to be of the shoot-you variety.

I think it's impossible to screw you totally up. You might be inefficient, but I think you can finish the game with any set of stats and without investing into a single perk. If you are totally stuck, you can always lower the difficulty.

PERSONALLY, I min/max the shit out of most games, so I already have made up a build, including what I will skill on every level up to level 50. lol (Just as a crude layout, I don't think I will follow it a 100%).

Im just going to tell you now that the base difficulty makes it impossible to get brickwalled. All builds no matter how shit will be able to beat the game. The removal of skills and leniency of special insures that.

Min max is really not needed. Just pick what you want and use whatever weapon.

I made a build for this game simply because im playing on survival and pretty much want a challenge.

You can play the game however you want to be honest. Some people beat the previous games without killing a single person unless they absolutely had to for the game to progress.

Do whatever the hell you want. The game won't be that hard if it's like 3, or even NV.

If it's like pass entry's, you can always proceed. You just miss things or have to do it another way.
 
Sorry if this has been asked before: Do stat points have effects outside of perks? For instance, does each point of agility increase my action points? Or are higher stats just for reaching new perks?

I always like to have high Charisma for conversations, but I'm not really interested in any of the higher Charisma perks.

Yes each point has passive effects.

Hover over each stat to see what they do.

What's the difficulty are you guys going for? Normal, Hard or survival?
Survival.
 
I usually play games on normal, but I'm considering playing through FO4 on the harder setting. I doubt it will be difficult enough to be frustrating, will it? How was FO3 and Skyrim on harder settings? I played through those on normal.
 
Finally!

All day I've been working on a 1080P/60 video of the PC version on Ultra settings and it was one thing after another. Mic not working, then capture device not grabbing game audio, then suddenly my headphones stop, then Final Cut crashes as I'm working haha.

BUT!

I just rendered out, what I think, is a great video that showcases enough interesting things with minimal location spoilers and absolutely zero story spoilers. Thanks for all the suggestions, I tried to take them all to heart (like not showing the map at all!).

Anyway, it goes live early Monday morning and I have you folks to thank for all the support. Hoping I don't disappoint you.
 
I usually find with games like this is that no matter how much I plan out the "perfect" character I want, I always change my play style and character based on how the game plays, how it feels, and what sorta loot you can get. I'm just going to wing it as I play I think, Bethesda games are pretty flexible in that regard.

That's me too. I haven't planned out a character at all; I'll just make whatever choices feel right while I'm playing.
 
What exactly is a "Legendary enemy"? I've played Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Skyrim and don't remember such a thing.

They have a star and it says Legendary (insert enemy type) for their name. They are are a much stronger variant of a normal enemy. They can mutate mid-fight which refills most of their health and gives them a buff of some kind. Looting them gives you a unique item with some kind of bonus. I got a Pipe Rilfe with exploding rounds for example.

Sounds pretty cool in concept.

I'm probably gonna play this game on hard from the sounds of initial impressions.
 
Survival for me and if they somehow mod in NV styled having to eat, drink, sleep and whatever on PS4 I'll add that on too. If they don't, I'll add my own restrictions. The world should be harsh.

Are you a PC version reviewer?
Can we have some png ultra screenshots of the PC version?
 
Now, it is most likely that I am a guy that is so very easily pleased or my eyes have morbid inability to notice anything ugly or that my brain is very technically-deficient in terms of discerning visual fidelity, or maybe this is just an unconscious self-justification attempt since I poured sixty bucks pre-ordering this game, hahaha, but I really honestly thought that the PS4 screenshots shared at the console screenshot thread to be gorgeous, and as such I really don't comprehend all the hubub about this game's graphical prowess, or lack thereof.

One of these days maybe I ought to have my eyes checked, maybe, hahaha, but I am pleased from what I have seen so far.
 
I believe those are compressed JPG screens?
Hmm....you are correct. In which case I can't help you. Had a look on Google but I just don't think anyone's uploaded many as of now.

Going for 2 playthroughs. First is a Female (Jack), sneaky, intelligent and charismatic (lots of VATS) -

Second is Male (Rick), melee orientated, strong and lucky (and uncharismatic) -
Should hopefully lead to a pair of fairly different feeling games I hope.
