Would love to see more vids like this

thanks for this lol... I really wanta go for a sniper build... but still want charisma....lol cant make up me mind

 

[blame space]

I hope there's a sniper rifle as good as the Gobi Camp Scout Rifle in this game.

 

[Empty Space]

I still have to beat New Vegas. I'm doing the quest to get the boomers to like me. Guessing I'm not close?

About 2/3rds through I'd say. It could be longer depending on your choices.

 

[Saint9806]

I imagine most people aren't at a place to answer this yet, but do powersuits ever become something you can wear all the time? Or are the fusion core just not plentiful or long lasting enought to do that?


They drop weapons with unique modifiers like say "Incinerating Pipe pistol" that gun should have a fire proc. Those kinds of enemies are new so it's not clear if all these weapons are one offs or if the game just spawns random legendary enemies from time to time.

Previous Fallout games only had a handful of legendary enemies and they were always in certain areas. I'm not quite sure what legendary enemies in this game do just yet.

They drop special loot according to the Giant Bomb quick look. Like unique, named weapons for example.

Cool. Thanks guys. I had my difficulty on Hard, then I switched to Normal. I might as well bump it back up to Hard then.

Does pickpocketing work the same way?

Nope. You cannot "see" into their pockets before pickpocketing them.

Oh boy... The sun is setting, better make some doors...

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

Are you rewarded with better loot by playing the game on hard mode.

 

[matrixman92]

It's a strip mine and it's supposed to be filled with water.

its like for some reason there is a layer of untextured ground above the normal ground. Some parts where I fall through, I land on actual textured ground and can see paths and stuff. Then sometimes I just fall and die

 

[Oogedei]

Wait a sec. Did I miss choosing the difficulty or does the option appear later in the game. I'm right now

Spoiler

back at the house from the beginning and was told to go to concorde

. Am I that blind? :/

Hah, fair enough.

I hadn't thought of it like that.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

harder the difficulty= more chance for legendary enemies that drop unique gear

 

[Bsigg12]

Hmm, weird. I had some weird texture bug on top of a building last night that caused me to fall through the floor.

Press start and go to options

 

[Rudiano]

Can someone plz help me out, I've got to Diamond City but everyone is attacking me before I got inside. I didnt even fire on anyone, that woman cant be killed as he health regenerates and when I go into the city everyone is trying to kill me. So I cannot do these missions anymore?

 

[J_Viper]

Please for the love of god someone tell me this game doesn't begin with another

Spoiler

roach invasion

. I don't think I can handle another one.

 

[KnightHart]

I have PIA as my VPN on my PC. It didn't even cross my mind to use it to get in early on FO4 until just now

Guess I'll be playing early

 

[Beaulieu]

probably a problem with terrain LOD
far away LOD is loaded over the close one ?

Wait, wait, wait, why do I keep reading that this game is unlocking for people in 8 hours? Today, here on the West Coast of America is November 9th. Tomorrow is the 10th. That means Wednesday is the 11th. So, if the game releases on the 11th then I would expect to see it unlock Tuesday night at 9PM as they use Eastern Time as the standard and I am 3 hours behind them.

So, is this game unlocking for me TONIGHT?

 

[ShadowsFell]

After hearing about the performance, can anyone who has the Xbox one version and has sunk a bit of time into it please tell me how their experience has been? I don't know whether to cancel my pre-order tonight

November 10th release bruh

I've been pleasantly surprised with the performance. I have seen the DF stuff and haven't noticed that in my nearly 40 hours put into the game.

It releases on the 10th. A tuesday. Games always release on tuesdays.

 

[MMaRsu]

Ahhh a few more hours till it unlocks . Hyped

Ive got spurs that jingle jingle jangle

 

[Fushichou187]

wtf UPS guy just delivered my copy (Amazon) to me. Never had a game delivered early to me before. I'll take it.

 

[JackEtc]

This game has much better presentation than I expected.

The way the story is framed, the dialogue, the art style are vastly improved over Bethesda's previous games.

This is what I've been trying to say since Thursday.

Lots of crow will be eaten.

 

[120v]

sorry if it's been asked a thousand times, but has anybody had any issues using a VPN? i'm kinda paranoid, though i know there's not much reason to be...

 

[neoism]

Honestly, bump back to normal for an hour or two and just get setup. Survival and very hard are extremely brutal at the early hours of the game.



Talk to him and there will be an option that says dismiss.

is he gone forever? if you do that?

 

[dekjo]

There's not much you can do using Twitch or YouTube to prevent at least 15 seconds of lag. If you are playing on PS4 and they have a PS4 also, you could have them spectate you using SharePlay which has no lag but it's limited to one connection at a time.

On PC, but I assume the story is the same on PC. At least based on what I know, which isn't much.

We'll try nvidia's shadowplay. And I'll try screen shares. But not holding my breath. Might just have to live the lag life...

Thanks though!

 

[Aces&Eights]

November 10th release bruh

JESUS CHRIST! Folks, do NOT get old! It messes you up!

HOT DAMN! Fallout 4 tonight!

 

[Machina]

I'm almost 6 hours in and I haven't ventured beyond Lexington. I built defenses and water for Sanctuary Hills and demolished the destroyed buildings and useless crap. It is definitely a very intuitive system and is easy to learn. I was worried it would be clunky.

 

[Bsigg12]

is he gone forever? if you do that?

No, he'll be in a doghouse nearby, or over in Sanctuary.

I hope someone adds a mod that gets brought to Xbox One that allows you to find your companions easier. I struggle to remember where I sent people sometimes.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

watched a few streams today and WOW!!

fallout 3 is one of my favorite games last gen.. 4 looks SO good.

 

[Lakitu]

I hope there's a sniper rifle as good as the Gobi Camp Scout Rifle in this game.

Me too. Anyone know?

 

[Donthizz#]

where's my delivery!! arrgggg...

How to destroy buildings? Unless you mean scrap everything inside?

 

[Ragona]

First mods I hope pop up early:

- better Interface
- Better detail map (its aweful)
- Awesome stuff for build mode

 

[Xion_Stellar]

That's a nice post OP so nice work!

 

[Bsigg12]

Yea I think that's what he's talking about. Some of the old broken houses can be salvaged in Sanctuary.

 

[Machina]

How to destroy buildings? Unless you mean scrap everything inside?

Nah I mean the collapsed buildings that you can't even enter. They are the plots where you can build from the ground up.

 

[Acorn]

That and the terrible shotgun was OP and awesome.

Give Charon (?) The terrible shotgun you have the rifle = dominating fo3

 

[brau]

Nice OT op! So ready to play the game. Will have some time tomorrow morning i guess.

 

[Mad Season]

What time cst (Texas) can I play tonight?

 

[Munch Poke]

Any idea how long the install from the disc/day one patch stuff will take on the xbone? I really don't wanna deal with another midnight release of waiting till 3AM to play tonight.

 

[K' Dash]

This is my first FO, playing on normal and the enemies seem to be bullet sponges, maybe I'm doing something wrong, I'm doing like a very early sidequest and these damn gouls just eat too many bullets and melee does not do much :/

 

[JeffZero]

Eight gigs down, twenty-four to go. Five months down, eight hours to go.

Got the PS4 putting in download work. Read half the reviews; can't wait for midnight! Gonna go watch some Stargate SG-1 and enjoy a nice WaWa sub with my friends to pass the time. See y'all in Baaahston.

 

[JudgeN]

So for the people that already have the game, hows the radio? I love the licensed music in FO3/NV and I can't wait to mode it into fallout 4.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

9 more hours to unlock! this is driving me nuts!!

 

[Trojan]

I'm sure this has been posted elsewhere, but is there a top site/tip sheet for best builds from those that have started playing? I've checked out some of the generic sites but looking for some realtime updates for those that have recently entered the wasteland.

I find the atmospheric music to be better for the mood but the radio is as good as ever

 

[Vargavinter]

Been playing for 5 hours so far and I'm not to impressed. I'm not "feeling" the new leveling system and I have to little VATS to actually kill someone, and I have the first tier of VATS-regen. I just run around playing it like a FPS and collecting material after material to satisfy my settlement. I hope it gets better better further down the road.

 

[MattyG]

Alright, so I've played about 2.5 hours and I'm loving it. The only thing I'm concerned about is the map size. Something about it feels small, but it's so densely packed that it'll probably end up feeling larger than it is.

 

[Bsigg12]

I think the score they have when you're not listening to the radio is incredible. I prefer us as well since it actually shuts the hell up when in a conversation.

The spacing of everything feels right, like you're actually in a metro area with suburban surroundings.

 

[timetokill]

Wait, are stats capped at 10?

Let's say I put 10 into Strength. If I find the bobblehead will it not go to 11?
