Every Fallout game gives your character a backstory, so that seems par for the course.

Strength 3
Perception 4
Endurance 3
Charisma 3
Intelligence 9
Agility 3
Luck 3
Fellows, what do you think about this?
Strength for Armorer, Perception for Locksmith, Endurance for a bit of health and defense early on, Charisma to get to get me started as I would want to get to Local Leader at some point, Intelligence for the exp points, I will be needing this to boost some of the other stats, Agility for Sneak, aiming for Quick Hands later on, and Luck for Bloody Mess, might go for Better Criticals down the line.
I'm going for rifles to start with. Does it make sense?

Tried this with a new char, I read the book before the conversation with the vault guy and it didn't work.

Think I'm going with STR 3, PER 4, END 3, CHAR 3, INT 4, AGL 5 and LCK 6 for my first character. Focus on rifles and criticals.
Gonna use a VPN too, eh? The answer is maybe, though if it's important for you, you could just keep separate saves just prior to each cheevo and then just reload and redo them online if offline is a no go.

Your character does talk in previous fallout games though, you simply didnt hear them

Oh man, if you press down on the games icon on PS4, you can see people's screenshots. It's getting hard not to look at every single one of them ;_;

Cool. With the introduction of the knowledge about the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. book I've tweeked my expectations again. I have only like 2 points in endurance to begin with. But to get every skill that I want with (realistically before I get bored and maybe spend more levels on points) I only have to spend 1 level up on adding a point to luck and then I should be golden.

Looking forward to the mod that will make the underwear dirty. Clean underwear on raiders? Should be really brown or none at all.
I'm doing 7436521 for survival mode.

Not to worry, someone'll mod in Baldrick's underwear, I'm sure.
Right now I'm planning to start 7 / 3 / 4 / 2 / 1 / 6 / 5 with the base allocation. Eventually 10 STR.
There is, redundancy, if we know what they're going to voice we will, if given the ability, skip the voicing of the line with a button press, I do that with jrpg's all the time!
for whatever reason Bethesda want you to hear the emotions, and be surprised by the word choice of, their premade character.. i hear what you're saying though, and really wish we were given an option.
I somehow completely forgot about the intro of Fallout 3. I sort of feel better about it now.
The voice acting is still a bummer.

I'm doing a melee character but I'm only going in with 4 at the beginning (5 with bobblehead). This is because I'm mainly concered about big leagues, armorer and blacksmith there. Luck and Agility have Ninja and Better Criticals which means I'll be relying on crits and skills that give more damage to melee weapons.
Once I get the skills that I want to the max level possible I'll start to add more points to strength.

How long does it take me to reach Cannibal status? I want to eat the ass first.
Just because there was war waged with nuclear weapons it doesn't mean people can't do laundry :b

Go into the Workshop view, walk up to the settler, press A/X to start the command then walk over to the resource you want them to manage and press A/X on it. It'll take a second to say this resource is assigned.

1, 2, BoS, and New Vegas all had defined character backstories as well and they were fine for roleplaying. I'd not worry about it in 4, since it seems the whole family thing applies only on the main quest, much like Fallout 3's hunt for Dad.
And you're right in that there'll probably be a mod to alter the beginning of the game as there has been for every Gamebryo game. The ones for Oblivion and Skyrim were quite thematic as well. It'll be fine.

There are uploaded videos as well as links to live streams on PS4 now. Though most live streams get shut down.
I love STR builds, but I had some tough time in New Vegas playing one. If most enemies got wrecked by my Sledgehammer, I feel like end game was really hard on melee builds (DLCs even more so). I'd love to try a melee build here too, but I'm afraid to find myself in the same situation once stronger enemies appear. The 10th STR skill looks real fun though... hard to make a decision.

Can you carry a ridiculous amount of guns and loot right from the beginning? How feasible would it be to enforce your own limit on that for realism purposes? Too annoying or gameplay balance breaking?
If you are into crafting you would probably have issues as you can pick up nearly everything.

I typically play a thief/sneaker that uses a laser pistol. Would like to continue that, but I'd like to have better accuracy and more Charisma. Basically, I always find it useful to be able to steal and pick locks in this series. May consider hacking, but not sure.
I really hope Charisma checks aren't an after thought.

Thanks man. But when I need a resource that I have not got for example GEAR, can I assign them to go find it for me or do I have to find it myself?
Thank you, this helps. I think I will adjust my build a little, don´t want too low speech checks.

You need 8 points in Endurance, and then you select the perk.
So far I encountered quite a lot of charisma related dialogue.

[PS4] Will there be any EQ settings for this game in the Gold Headset Companion App?
Radaway is a quick fix, maybe you should look into the Lead Belly perk as well?
Also how do I lower my RAD? Its covered about 33% of my health because I kept eating the bad foodsorry Im a Fallout newbie but Im loving the game so far

I'm going with the following for a highly malleable build that emphasizes survivability. I've heard that stealth is a lot weaker this time around (with sneaking only becoming viable once the level 23 perk unlocks), so I'm leaving myself open to a variety of options.
S 3
P 3
E 5
C 4
I 5
A 6
L 2
Decent STR for carryweight, possibly melee weapons if I end up liking them.
Decent PER that will almost immediately be boosted to 4
, for lockpicking.
Moderate END for HP and sprinting + Life Giver and Aquaboy.
Moderate CHR for speech checks + Lady Killer, Lone Wanderer and (with bobblehead) Animal Friend.
Moderate INT for EXP boost + Medic, Hacker and Gun Nut.
High AGI for lots of AP + Action Boy & Moving Target.
Low Luck for Scrounger (if ammo proves to be scarce on higher difficulties).

Use Rad-away or visit a doctor.

Radaway you need.

You need some Rad-Away, and then consider using some Rad-X when in irradiated areas.

PS4? Monday I believe. Not sure what time. Dunno why Sony are leaving it so late for those with slow internet connections. At least the game size isn't huge.

preloading on steam now. so hyped.
You can assign them to the salvage station. I haven't seen any way to have them look for specific things found outside the settlements.
