A friend of mine had WAY too much fine with the character editor:

Any particular stat that's standing out in the game atm? Speccing is always such a dilemma, I can stare at that screen for an hour and still not be done.

I want to try a fun/different build since I always go for my perception/intelligence build.
 
Can you explain how this works please? Do we choose from a list of audio? Does Codsworth say two names i.e. first name and surname? Or just your first name?

He only says one name, not two. So no spaces. You enter a name then if he says it, it's included and happy days. If he just says "Sir...:, then the name you've entered is invalid.

There should be a list of the confirmed names out there somewhere, but you don't choose from a list. You literally type it in and if he can, he'll say it.
 
Weather system seems bit undercooked. I'm currently inside, looking at a blue sky through some open windows. Outside? It's a radiation storm that I've been waiting to pass... for the past 30 minutes.

Edit: Used the "Wait" option when sitting on a chair to pass 2 hours, then 4 hours, then 24 hours.... still a radiation storm. Is this a bug?

Nice one.

Thank you so much for your reply. Did you give your character a surname?
 
I'm really glad the 'bone version is getting Fallout 3. I never played it before, so I'm going to do that first, and hopefully by the time I get to Fallout 4 there will be performance patches to get rid of the hitches.

Win-win
 
Sean/Shawn/Shaun aren't on the list, that's ok I guess,
would be kinda weird with having my son have the same name.
 
Thank you so much for your reply. Did you give your character a surname?

I actually restarted the game a couple of times to test this. Two separate words (first name, surname) didn't work at all because of not enough space, my first name worked, but my surname on its own which admittedly is pretty unique didn't work.

Thanks again!

I'll just use the one name then.
 
When do you pick a difficulty?

Mine was set to easy I noticed after I finished talking to the salesmen. I put it up to Survival, which is what I wanted but I don't want to lock myself out of achievements since it's really early on.
 
Can you turn the aim off? That thing is too damn big!
 
Assorted screens from the PC version:

Ultra settings, 1440p (DS'd to 1080 for the forum)

Nothing spoilery unless you have been on total media blackout and haven't seen a single trailer. If you're one of those people, don't click (and get out of the thread!).

Looks kinda ugly compared to Witcher 3 or others. Then again, you don't play fallout games for graphics.

God damn I love the art style of this one, it's just cartoony enough to hold well over time: but realistic enough to keep it Fallout looking.

IMO, gorgeous.

Holy sh**, the female predetermined character model is gorgeus, I wont change it.
 
Well, since I couldn't take the power armor off, I just didn't equip it lmao. Just jumped off the roof and started shooting the raiders.

Hope it won't bite me in the ass later. Now I'm convinced I will never, ever wear the power armor in this game.

Same here, it's grown on me the last few weeks. Also really glad they went the more colorful route rather than making it so dreary like FO3 was.
 
If it's copy-pasted from the Reddit thread - which it looks like it is - it's not a full list. They're not datamining, they're literally just figuring out which ones work based on trial and error. There are some in the comments that still haven't been added.

So it's more than a thousand names?! There's more than nine hundred in that list already...
 
For the early unlockers: So was there a Day 1 Patch you had to download and how big was it? I downloaded 250 mb earlier, but I'm still waiting for release in my country.
 
My weather has to be bugged. I've waited 4 in-game days for this radiation storm to pass and it just isn't going away. I beat the Concord quest thinking that maybe it was scripted, but nope.

Staying outside causes rad damage, so I can't explore. No clue how to solve this.

Edit: Quitting and restarting does nothing, too.

Why couldn't you take the power armour off?

Are you waiting or sleeping? And does it continue after fast travel?
 
The game auto detected medium settings for me but it won't get past the title screen. My specs not good enough?

AMD Radeon HD 7970 3GB
Intel Core i5-4670K Quad-Core 3.4 GHZ

Microsoft Windows 8.1 (build 9600), 64-bit

You just hold whatever button it is to get in, A/X, not sure what PC is though.

Waiting. Fast traveling to the Vault did nothing too. Guess I'll start a new game or look for a weather-related console command.

Edit: Fast traveling to Sanctuary finally did it. Still, that's clearly a bug. No way did Bethesda intend for fast travel to be the only way to change hostile weather conditions... right?
 
If you choose a name that's part of the names that they recorded actual dialogue for, how often does that name get used outside of that intro sequence they showed at E3?

Well, it showed the power armor as a loot container so I just pressed E to get in. I did try getting out of it like that, too, but it didn't work.

It'll wait for me on the rooftop if I ever HAVE to have it for some reason.

You don't have to have it but in my experience there are a few situations where you absolutely want it.
 
Has anyone ever tried to snag a game from a Redbox at a midnight release? There's one just down the road from me and I'm thinking of swinging by it tonight but I wasn't sure if anyone's had any luck with it. Do they become available as soon as it hits midnight?

Did you
get a deathclaw thrown into that mix? I assumed it was a scripted part of that fight but haven't seen anyone mention it yet. Scared the shit out of me.
