Has anyone tried Kenshiro as a name yet to see if it works? What about Dio? :x

(I mostly ask cause I'm wondering if they brought in any other references. Seeing Imperator as a name made me absolutely giddy!)
 
Oh man. Friend just told me about the coolest companion. Saw him in a stream but didn't know you could recruit him.

He's basically an old school, hard-boiled noir detective. And he's a synth. Bad ass.
 
So it's more than a thousand names?! There's more than nine hundred in that list already...
Yeah, Howard outright said "more than a thousand" at the E3 conference. Which makes me wary of the constantly-passed-around list of only 925. My usual RPG character name of "Roxanne" had BETTER be in the final game, damn it!
 
Damn, doesn't seem you can set a different colour to the beard from the head hair, it shares the same colour. Spent like 5 minutes trying to figure out, turns out you can't. I have brown hair IRL but a reddish/brown beard if I grow it and wanted to do that. :(
 
There is an in game option to turn location icons off in the compass? Where is that?

im not sure thats what I read on gaf.... it was the console version though.... I really hope it is otherwise I'm just use 0% opacity, its weird though even though it was the PC version Skyrim had an on/off option for compass...
 
fuckk like 10 hrs until the digital download unlocks on ps4

digital downloads have both the advantage and disadvantage that they're dependent on the developer's chosen timezone to hit 12 am.

Physical copies you can get lucky and get the game sent to you earlier or find it sitting at a mom n pop shop.

But digital we'll always tend to be able to play the title an hour before physical folks.
 
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.

didn't download anything, unpacked the game and put steam offline until tomorrow, the subtitles keep glitching, so I hope for a day 1 patch.
 
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.

Yeah. Had to drop the difficulty for a sec.

Does junk get automatically scrapped for weapon parts etc? I haven't scrapped anything yet, but I can still create some mods on the workbench.
 
I don't know what I am enjoying more...the anticipation of actually playing tonight..or the hype of the community ready to dig back into the wasteland.

New firefights are... Maybe I just need to get used to it.

- Enemies have infinite ammo and grenades. And grenades. Grenade spam. Oh, hi random guy. You wanna throw grenades? infinite grenades? ok then. Look out. Grenade indicator. Like 2 seconds ago.
- Enemies spot you from miles away. Through trees and underbrush. Most of the time you realise you're in combat when the music changes. And then you...um..spam the vats key until it highlights enemies for you, cause there no fucking way you see them through the trees and underbrush.
- I keep fighting in the forest, and then when I've won I can't find the enemy corpses to loot because of all the freaking underbrush. I'm seriously considering turning it off, because it looks nice but makes enemies infinitely harder and looting turns into a pixel hunt. I just spent 15 minutes look for a dude's corpse to get some ammo of him. 15 minutes of systematic bush combing. I am not joking.
- Human enemies seem kind of bullet spongy on normal. Snuck up on a random dude wearing a t-shirt and no armor. Gave him both barrels from a sawed off at melee range as a sneak attack in the head. He then proceeded to turn around, draw a weapon and end me. Ok then.

Still enjoying it, but I feel like combat is going to turn into sneak attack head sniping again at later levels.

If anyone has any game mechanics questions, I'll do my best to answer them. There are a lot of things not really explained.

How do I improve my vats accuracy? There's no small arms skill. I have 9 perception and my hit % is terrible.
 
Why did they map dialogue options to the arrow keys and not WASD?

You can still move around in some cases and putting the reticule over a character brings up the dialogue selection.

Will you run into Legendary enemies playing on normal?

Yes and in most cases they still suck to fight, especially when they mutate.

Depends on the gun you're using as well.
 
Using a VPN to unlock this 15 hours early: one of my best decisions. Really love the concept of breaking down junk, gives you an excellent reason to grab everything not nailed down.
 
the other thread someone said you have to sit down... really dont understand that change... I really hope you can sit anywhere and wait... I really want to play the game at night time all the time..



yup fucking stupid ass change... why Bethesda... why

Seems like an especially strange decision considering that Bethesda took weapon condition out. If they were trying to streamline the game in any way, why would they require you to find a chair to wait?!
 
I'll ask again, anybody here with a guide or actively trying to look for the bobbleheads can answer if any of the ones you tried to get were locked out due to a quest or location not being available until later?

I know there's some you can get fairly early on, but like the first thing I'm gonna do early on is get as many of them as possible. Even if it means sneaking past high level enemies that one shot me.

wheres that list of names that work? Jolyne dosn't work, I'm sad :(

Does the game tell you if a name works or not?
 
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?

I believe someone was able to get black ops 3 from red box at midnight and I vaguely remember doing it in the past.
 
WOW. Chase amazon card snafu and my payment was declined so my copy never shipped from Amazon this weekend so no more release date delivery.

/suicide
 
Trying to go in mostly blind, but I have one question I hope someone could answer for me. Do I need to take at least one point in the perk that requires STR 1 before I can take the perk that requries STR 2? Or is it that you can take start any perk that you meet the requirements for?
 
so whats up with my character never facing the NPC she is talking to, she just jumps to her side, like wtf?
Does the game tell you if a name works or not?

Nah but as soon as you're done with the SPECIAL thing the robot comes and he called me Mum. redid it with the name Stella and now he calls me Ms. Stella so thats your indication if your name works or not
 
So power armor requires fuel? Can you not just permanently wander around in power armor?

I'm 5 hours in and I used it for the first boss battle, and since then, I have not found a fusion core to make it operable again. I left it at the Red Rocket Truck Stop for now.
 
so ill ask this one more time... for anyone that preloaded on PS4 and downloaded all of the 32gbs of the game... did you also download the day one patch or does that not start until you open/start the game for the first time???
