How is this running on a 970? I have an I7 2600K and 8gb ram as well.

GTX 970 and an i5 4690k. 8 GB of really crappy RAM, and it's running great. Maybe a little hitching here and there when entering new areas, and when I had godrays on high plus everything else on ultra, FPS would go down to around 40 when it was foggy. Putting shadows to high and godrays to medium made it a steady 60 besides loading (I have it on an HDD).

Interested to see how it'll run once we get an Nvidia patch.
 
It feels shitty to have ordered the physical version of this on PS4. Even shittier now that I've seen DF's analysis. I'm very tempted to go ahead and buy this on steam and just hope it runs OK on my i5/7950 PC.

I'd much rather play this on my big TV instead of my monitor though. Damn you Bethesda.

I was having the same kind of drops, mostly in cities. Dropped my god rays to medium and got up to 45-50, but I'll have to try dropping shadows down too.
 
You know what bugs me about Bethesda games? I cannot for the life of me be bothered to finish the main story. The only one I have is Morrowind. I spend over 100 hours bullshitting my way across the maps and all of the sudden I hit a point to where I'm done with the game. Months later I will start another play through and the exact same thing happens.

It's not a real complaint because I have loads of fun with the games up until I hit that point.

That is how I am with the Elder Scrolls games. I put 100+ hours into Oblivion and Skyrim and then just abruptly lost any desire to continue with the game. I finished FO3 and NV though.
 
waiting on the game unpacking on steam.

can't sleep so might as well just get this done now and create my character before i go to work so that i can start playing when i get home.
 
Midnight GMT, now unpacking!

I stick with a PS4, myself, but would it be prohibitively difficult to get the PC hooked into your big TV? Several of my friends seem to have done so with their rigs.
 
The game can actually look quite nice at times, especially outdoors. The art direction is definitely an improvement over Bethesda's previous efforts.

Interiors are pretty hideous, though, and the character models aren't great either.
 
a little more than 4 hours and honestly i don't think the game is ugly, think its pretty nice looking, but then again I'm on Ultra. It could be better sure, but its pretty good.

Sleep, or sit.

so you can't just press a button to wait anymore like previous games? thats dumb.

Thanks. God rays at medium seems to be the consensus, I will also be running it on an ssd so hopefully it reduces the loading stutter. But I doubt it.
 
I have a few problems with PC controls, namely that dialogue choices are chosen by arrow keys and Enter is used to confirm scrapping objects or selecting talents which is just a terrible idea for a WASD+mouse setup.

It should be R to confirm scrap/talent whatever.

That said this game feels like Fallout 3/NV with significantly improved gameplay and combat and I'm enjoying it a lot.

Two last things. First, you'll probably run into random irradiated thunderstorms. Rather than eat the rads, recall the gas masks that the raiders you first see in Concord. Second, holy shit mole rats/blood bugs/feral ghouls will eat you alive if you don't have Codsworth.
 
For someone that played a lot of vanilla New Vegas, how is the walking speed in Fallout 4 in comparison? I found New Vegas walk speed about 1/2 as fast as it should be.
 
3 hours in already have seen 10 different bugs, enjoyable game but it would benefit from a bit of extra polish hope bethesda rolls the patches fast.

It wouldn't be super difficult but I do use the same PC for work (work from home) so moving it everyday after work would be a pain in the ass. I'm just going to stick with PS4 and hope the problems it has doesn't get worse once the save file becomes bigger.

Oh, gotcha.

Yeah, I do the same (work from home for one of my jobs) so I definitely see where you're coming from.
 
Wait, so I know you can only have one companion at a time but is there a way to get a second one? So that you can have 2 at any given moment?

If so, how? I looked through the perks but I couldnt find any that related to that.. maybe I just missed it. Would be pretty lame to spend the whole game with my trusty 'ol dog only.

So far this is happening again here, these guys just can't be relied on to make a compelling storyline or quests at all. Obsidian working on NV just put it plainly how they don't put a lot of effort into it at all, I guess they expect the world and emergent gameplay to please most people.
 
I'm gonna have such a hard time deciding my S.P.E.C.I.A.L. spread.

Could someone help me? I want to be able to unlock anything and everything, have all the "best" dialogue options, and be a badass who charges into battle guns blazing.
