Been playing for about 7 hours. some thoughts:
Spoiler tagging just in case. no story spoilers really, mostly gameplay.

+ ai seems to be much smarter
+ gunplay feels WAYYY better
+ looting system and crafting systems are both greatly improved on.
+ new armor system is great.
+environments overall feel more natural
+ haven't played with the settlement stuff too much yet but it seems pretty cool
+ dialogue camera is actually pretty good.
+ All the companions are interesting and unique.
+++ Characters dont look like mannequins when they talk anymore.

- Turrets are FUCKING EVERYWHERE in main story missions and super annoying, especially considering its a waste of the decent ai.
- the "intro" section feel really long and I hope upon further playthroughs isn't annoying as it seems it would be.
- The "main quest" is yawn inducing up to the point I'm at.
it can basically all be summed up in the words WHERES MY SON
- I have mixed feeling about the perk system.
- They completely ditched Science and medicine diologue options. lame.
--- The main characters talks and I fucking hate it. My character looks like a 50 year old native american guy and the voice sounds nothing like it should. hopefully a mod comes out to fix this asap.
 
Not sure what the Leadership perk does (Charisma 6). It says it establishes supply lines between settlements, and you unlock the diner and Sanctuary fairly early, but there appears to be no sharing of anything as far as I can tell. Is it only specific settlements? Or does it mean something else? I figured it meant your junk pools would be shared so I could store like 100 wood in Sanctuary and use it at other places.
 
Thanks, if I pick a last name too will it always supercede the first or is it context sensitive? Ie, someone being polite calls me by my last name but most would say Madeleine.
 
Man, that last side quest went totally wrong...
(Diamond city pub)
In diamond city in the pub I've seen a wife and his husband arguing and he had a little fight with the bartender. Later on, the husband told me his wife is having an affair with the bartender/owner so i agreed to help him talking with the cheater. The husband didn't want to talk though and after failing to convince him to put his weapon down I had to defend the bar guy and kill the worried and desperate husband. It's kind of the moral I've chosen for the game. (Defend everyone who is getting attacked and not attack peaceful NPCs) Afterwards the bartender offered me stealing drugs and money from a drug deal of a friend of him and I didn't have the option to decline so I agreed with the plan to spoil him to the friend who is doing the deal. That went also wrong and the drug dealing company tried to kill me and the bar guy. We took the drugs and the money and he wanted to leave the town forever so... Well I shot him too... So much for my pacifist playthrough

Absolutely love the game. Diamond city is sooooo much better than megaton.

Edit: fuck auto correct.
 
So is it as terrible as everyone is making it out to be on Xbox One? I kind of wanted to get it for the achievements, but I'll buy it on PS4 if in areas it's almost unplayable.

All signs point to both console versions having trouble with framerate at this point. Pick your poison.
 
Get that stupid .gif out of here. We've seen it. We know.

Shit has been posted so many times and only invites dumb comments.
 
This made me little sad, i can get over it but still, it makes me think they didn't really bother too much with this game. As if it was put together in a year or so... Just because so many people requested it. Hopefully it's still fun as previous games

For what its worth I did not have this happen in my game

It's been in full production for 4 years and pre-production since Mothership Zeta was released.

A dude has a clipboard attached to his hand, so that means the game might have been made in a year?
 
If your main use of charisma is being afraid of missing some important charisma checks in dialogue, what level should it be set at?
 
Is there a way on PC to change the Dialogue selection to WASD rather than arrow keys? Maybe in a config file somewhere?

I already botched an early one at 5, so probably at least a bit higher than that.

It didn't seem super important though.
 
So i read bethesda are using some dynamic dismemberment system or something like that. Seen any crazy gore?

i neee it mang

Not really. It's like Fallout 3, unless there's some super secret setting I'm missing. It's a little more accurate in dismemberment location, I can say that.

EDIT: And ghouls can be gibbed and still live.
 
This threads moving fast but hopefully I'll get an answer!

Is the waiting option in this like it was in Fallout 3, and if so, how do I do it?

I didn't use it yet but I think you need to be sitting on like some furniture to wait. That's when I saw the prompt. Didn't use it it at the time though.

You either sleep (which also heals you) or if you just want to wait, you have to sit down somewhere. (Chair, bench, couch etc...)
