My plan is to explore every location and do every quest.Let's see what level I will have gotten to by then. But unlike most of the people here I'm going to max out my SPECIALS first. I don't really care for perks.

Your perks literally determine a LOT of what you can do. There are no Skills anymore.

 

[Venture]

No way this will score 95+ unless every outlet agrees to ignore writing, plot, performance, bugs and visual fidelity.

I don't believe it will score that high, but aren't those the exact same issues Bethesda haters had with Skyrim? Yet it managed a 94.

That will be impossible if you don't activate some perks. I guess you will need at least Hacking, Lockpicking, and Aquaboy. I also guess you might need some charisma related perks to activate certain side-quests.

 

[Urthor]

Looks pretty much identical to my build. I thought of stopping charisma at 3 points to get the lone wanderer perk and then adding a few more to luck and agility though.

Frankly the lone wanderer perk doesn't seem worth it at all. It only gives +25% extra damage at the highest level, rather take a companion with inspiration any day of the week I'm fairly sure


Unless it's for RP, I guess?

Yeah I already put 2 points into the lockpicking and 1 into the hacking perk. But the rest, let's see.

It's the same issues they have with every Bethesda game. Reviewers just do not have the same requirements.

 

[Slackbladder]

I just realised Blacksmith is only needed if you're going melee based. So I can save a point in Strength. The Luck perks do seem interesting so I'll add a few there I think.

Mainly wanted it to increase my carry capacity and reduce damage to offset low strength and endurance stats.

Bahaha ok buddy. Have fun over analyzing everything. I'll be having a blast playing this.

 

[Pryce]

I'm thinking 86 MC.

If PS4 runs like shit I can't see reviewers just ignoring it.

Bad guy from Fist of the North Star build, melee heavy build using idiot savant for massive XP gain and attack dog to distract foes

This build really grabbed my attention going through this thread, so I think I will play with this one. Being my first fallout game, really excited for everyone's thoughts on the game tomorrow (and I can't wait to play it!).

 

[Urthor]

Going by past fallouts, the companion should have PLENTY of carry capacity, and dogmeat does some haulin as well. More than enuff between those in terms of carrying stuff

 

[NO_Quarter25]

That's no problem at all.

Tons of games are like that. Modders unpack the files and pack then again.
I remember modding Half Life, I had to constantly unpack, replace files then repack.

Ok, so it sounds like a realistic mod that could actually happen then, cool

People are going to rip this game apart with mods. It's going to be glorious.
I can't wait to upgrade my PC a year from now and get on all the mods.

 

[Cyborg]

Anyone care to explain to me what the best build is, if you want to play as solo (or with 1 companion) and focus on shooting with guns?

Solo with no companions def get the Lone Wanderer perk.

 

[Megauap]

Does someone know if there is a better quality image of the Nuka Cola girl?



I want it printed out but 1080p is too low rez.

I found this image: http://i.imgur.com/Wny512n.jpg (4854x2730)
Just had to right click your image and select "Search Google for image". Hope this trick helps you out

 

[Bethell]

Solo with no companions def get the Lone Wanderer perk.

Does the dog count as a companion?

 

[Pixel Samurai]

Tomorrows gonna be a bloodbath.

I'm 10 hours in and I love it.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

If there's a special book from the get go I can save one point in luck and put it in strength.

 

[Svafnir]

Does the dog count as a companion?

Yes, I don't see why it wouldn't. It's one of the most useful ones.

 

[aravuus]

Common sense is now over analyzing? Whooooo boy...

Don't worry, buddy, pal, I'll be having fun with the game in less than 24 hours, too! I can use my brains and have fun at the same time.

God damn, why haven't I tried this???

Thanks!

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

So to confirm, nobody from the UK is getting the game early?

I ordered a packaged goods version of the game, I hope I get it tomorrow in the mail.

I'm curious enough to ask what they did again but I'm not stupid enough to actually click in a random link that can take me to spoiler city.

 

[Bethell]

Yes, I don't see why it wouldn't. It's one of the most useful ones.

The reason i ask is from what ive seen read is that the dog is met near the start of the game and you have to take him?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

From TCG:

We will be sending all UK orders with Royal Mail First Class and the statistic that they proudly state is that 93% will arrive next day, so we're still very confident that we can deliver it on the release date.

Hmm so they're relying on Royal Mail. Sneaking suspicion I won't be playing this Tuesday.

it's my friend Dennis, he's not spoiling the game
it's just random glitches

for example, he tried throwing a hand grenade

what happened next will SHOCK YOU

marketers HATE him!

Fallout 4Kids

 

[Breads]

If this guide is correct then yeah you can.



100/100/240 seems like a good jumping off point.

That is not a starter build or a jumping off point.

-edit-

Oops. I forgot that 1 in all points are always assumed. So much for being a self proclaimed fallout fan.

I also understand now that the highlighted means that you can level the perks up... not that you did.

 

[SpideySenses]

I believe people who used ShopTo got it yesterday.

[everyday math]

I'm still buying the game.

#PartoftheProblem

 

[aravuus]

That is not a starter build or a jumping off point.

It clearly says that at lvl 1 you start off with 21 stat points and 1 perk and when you level up you either add a point to stats or add a point to perks. You wont be able to reach that point/ perk spread until lvl 34 (or maybe 27 if stat bobble heads are limited to 1 stat point each and you find them all).

They're talking about starting with a 4 in every SPECIAL stat, which is possible (21/7 = 3 plus the one by default), not perks or anything like that

The perks being green just means that you can get them the next time you level up

Lol.... thanks for this. . I think it adds character to the game... Like some of the stuff I encounter in Dragon Age Origins.

 

[mellow]

I didn't. They say they shipped it yesterday.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Well I just got a 24 hour ban for streaming on twitch LOL.

Also just had the game freeze on me :|

 

[wrowa]

Short question about the dog...

Spoiler

So, my gf sent the dog away but now she's unable to find him again. Is there any way to call the dog or whatever? She said she sent him to Sanctuary, but she can't find him there.

 

[Summer Haze]

So to confirm, nobody from the UK is getting the game early?

I received the game yesterday from Gamestop UK.
