Yea, that was a fun fairly-non-spoilery quick look. My interest in this game went from 'meh, will wait for a summer sale', to 'hmm, might need to buy this soon'.

RIP Sarah, my first character. She lasted 89 minutes in the wasteland.
She left the vault, ran off into the distance ignoring the main quest, threatened a random person she found and stole all their bottlecaps, then stumbled across a random shack in the middle of nowhere, picked some locks, solved a puzzle and unlocked a workshop. Then she redesigned the entire place to her liking using crafting.
Then a trip mine somebody placed inside a diner blew up her up.
The game is fucking brilliant.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
As soon as the digital guide unlocks tommorow morning I will posting that info along with Skill Book locations if it hasn't been posted yet by than.

If you have a ps4 and Xbox one why not just it on ps4? Controller preference?
Top MLG TIP: If you're on PC, turn off v-sync and whenever you have to reload your gun, look at the ground or a wall or whatever. Looks like animations are tied to framerate, I can reload my guns twice as fast now lol.
The ghouls I was fighting felt a bit fast too, though, not sure if pretty much everything is tied to framerate, which is a bit... Disconcerting.
Spoken lines cut halfway through too since my game's running at twice the framerate Bethesda wanted.

The news about the mod support coming to XBox One first, and the fact that my XBox One has pretty much sat dormant for a while made me go that route.
Usually my multiplats are PS4.
Ahhh they got some of the Fallout 3 licensed tracks backThat's so cool.
I like some of those, but would much rather have an all different soundtrack, feels lazy to just throw the old tracks in there. Oh well, at least it will be easy enough to mod and have a good variety of tracks!

This is weird. My brain can't hand lock picking and V.A.T.S. controlls.
It's like I know, this stick is for that and the other one for that, but I keep mixing that shit up. I really don't know why this is keeps happening.

You didn't make any changes to the iFPSClamp variable, ya?

Getting a lot of CTD's on Win10/GTX970 
Latest driver is installed, etc. 60 FPS is great, but doesn't do much good if it's crashing all the time.

Yeah I've been checking gaf on my phone all day, crapped out a CR but nothing is sticking today. Just want to dip my feet into the damn thing already so I can concentrate again.
Also considering buying it again on steam and not opening up the pip boy edition ...

On PC? You could VPN.

Getting a lot of CTD's on Win10/GTX970
Same here, about every 20 mins... I have a lesser powered machine, but other than the CTDs, it works perfectly. Updated my NVIDIA drivers and rebooted, but to no avail.
Saw a video that mentioned that sneak attack critical hits are separate from vats critical hits and do not benefit from the luck perks. So if anyone is planning to build a Luck/Agility build like I was keep that in mind. Apparently Non-stealth based criticals are only manually triggered in vats and do not occur randomly. Need to completely rework my build now.
Nope, just turned off the v-sync.
I'd be fine with it if it actually worked. If I keep it on, the game starts stuttering, locks at ~55fps and I get insaaaane mouse lag. Unlock the framerate and I get these kind of weird problems.. But they're the lesser evil for now. Hope Bethesda fixes this.
Buy it on PC, then get a VPN(Order is important if you buy from steam on a VPN you're banned). Set VPN to New Zeland. Play.

I'm not super familiar with VPN but my understanding is that you have to pay for it. Is that true? Also, doesn't that violate steam TOS?

which vpn would that be?
some pretty weird shit. Earlier today I was able to connect to multiple VPNs. Right now I can't connect to any VPNs. What changed? beats me...
before I actually had the game running only to CTD on selecting New Game. something of a frustrating not awesome day so far but I guess I will just be crossing my fingers that it works at midnight.

A question to anyone who's a bit further in: how important is the settlement stuff? I LOVE the gun modding, but I'm a bit ehhhh on the settlements. I'm actually a bit unclear what I'm even supposed to do with them.
Guess I'll get the sanctuary people some water and food and electricity and see if it starts getting interesting/rewarding.

Maybe PM UberLevi, who just posted beneath you. Hopefully they'll help you out.
Its pretty easy though, I've used a few in the past on "trial "periods to unlock games early. And you'll be fine on STEAM, as long as you stay connected on your VPN until the game officially unlocks for the states.
There's a few that give free trials that you can use. Just don't purchase a game when it's on or you'll be kicked. Otherwise, no one gets banned for it.
VPN Unlimited. Went through 4 or 5 others before I found one that worked.

Thank you, but the link in the linked post goes to a dead page. I'll scour the bethesda forums to see if i can find it.
EDIT: Here's a solution for addressing the frequent CTD problem: http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1544136-fallout-4-updates/
Not sure what is going on there with VSync, doesn't sound good (did you try using driver VSync instead of in-game?), but the unlocked FPS thing sounds a lot like iFPSClamp not being 0 in older Gamebryo stuff. People used to mess with that setting but it wasn't all that safe for that very reason.
S.P.E.C.I.A.L
Definitely. Don't feel like you need to advance the story, just take your time. Some of the coolest things have happened for me from just wandering around.

Bethesda haven't fixed the vsync/framerate being tied to everything else problems for years, there's no reason they'll start now.
I'd like to know if driver vsync helps as well. Someone tried that?

I know it's still ridiculously early, but what are some immediate differences between 3 and 4 that some of you have noticed (for better or worse)?
