I can't get the Pip Boy phone app to connect to my PC. Any tips or a guide anywhere? There don't seem to be any instructions in game or on the app for some strange reason
 
Best as I can tell, GTA5 has the highest concurrent Steam users for a single player game at ~380k. Think we get close to that today or maybe tomorrow with the pseudo-holiday in the US? Looks like it topped at 280k early this morning and ~240k right now.
 
Have we figured out how to assign someone to a guard post yet? And pretty much anything else about maintaining a base (short of building stuff I got that).

Also why does the Power Armor not have armor on one leg and one arm after I repaired them, how do I add that? I'm guessing I need certain parts?
 
This game has so many glitches it's unreal, but a lot of them are hilarious.
Every monitor up until I left the vault I was stuck on and had to reload my save because I was stuck in a T pose.
The first step I took out of the vault had my left leg clip through the floor and sent me flying hundreds of feet into the air and it killed me.
Whenever my character talks to people in Sanctuary he's facing his back towards them and his head slowly 180s.
 
Trying to not read the thread to avoid spoilers, but is the shooting much better than FO3? Destiny like gunplay in the Fallout universe would be orgasmic.
 
Been wondering, I've looked at previews and gameplay vids and is it true that dialogue skill checks (where you use a Science perk to open dialogue with scientists, for example) are gone? Is it just CHA checks now?

What goes through peoples heads when they go into an OT the day of release and post end game spoilers.. Regardless of whether or not its behind spoiler tags. There's a reason a spoiler thread exists. Spoiler tagged stuff in the OT should be minor stuff that some folks may not want to know about like a small quest tidbit or the name of a character or something. I haven't clicked on any but I feel sorry for those who have after waiting years for the game. Use some common sense people.

Yeah, I've since obviously realized I made a mistake, and I removed it. I just saw all the spoilers before, and I didn't really think that people just click and see things they don't mean to. I'll try to think with more foresight from now on, again I apologize.
 
Anyone have any tips on which perks work best for playing without using VATS as much as possible? In FO3, the biggest issues were ammo usage being much higher without VATS and some tougher enemies being very hard to take down.

If you're gonna have a spoiler with regards to the very ending of a game that released not even 12 hours ago for most people here. It's pretty normal to mark so very clearly, so that people don't read the spoiler without knowing that it's the biggest spoiler of the entire game

At some point you need to take personal responsibility for clicking a spoiler.

If you don't mind playing spoiler roulette that's on you. You're basically saying that you are willing to risk clicking an unmarked spoiler.

It should be marked better, but still.
 
i just arrived at goodneighbor

downtown boston is a post-apocalyptic analog to the battle of berlin. nothing but super mutants, feral ghouls and raider packs in tight urban spaces.

Another thing I really don't like about this one.

It's like Bethesda thought 'We want our game to have voice acting for some reason, so we need to take out as many things possible that would make that too difficult, at the expense of the people who like those things."

I mean, really, is there honestly that many people who wanted the protag to be voiced?
 
The power suit - as cool as this is, are we meant to keep wearing/upgrading these as our primary armour, or is there more 'normal' looking armour (non suit stuff) that's just as good but more practical too? I haven't played FO3/NV so I don't have any experience in this.

Edit: also is there a way to hide head gear during dialogue?

FO3/NV Power armor was normal armor like everything else. This is new for the rest of us as well. I guess if you think you're going into a tough fight, grab your Power Armor.

You don't unfortunately? People claim it has native support, but that bugs out the controls for me. What I do is run ds4windows, but "hide ds4" option. Works fine.

You didn't force me to do anything. Others have already clarified why you were in the wrong, no need for me to continue.

Just learn from it and enjoy the game.

What the fuck, he wasn't in the wrong lmao. He should have marked the spoiler, absolutely, but YOU clicked it. Take some fucking responsibility.

In New Vegas, yes, there is not any huge reference to your character's past. They don't mention your character's family, any loved ones, anything that really happened to you. I am, as a roleplayer, free to imagine that my character was and did anything that I wanted. Literally the only thing i'm tied to, is the fact that at some point, they became a courier, which is pretty much the perfect job for roleplaying, because there is a near endless amount of reason why someone might become a courier.

In Fallout 4, the game says THIS was your life, THIS is your spouse, and THIS is your son. Be sad about this, because this is what your character is and what your character cares about. On top of that, THIS is your character's voice, and just try and guess what you think your character might say from a couple of words and we will tell you EXACTLY what your character actually said.

I'm not telling the game to reference any immersive backstory I want. I would just like it to do what New Vegas did, and not reference it at all, so that it can literally be whatever I want it to be, and I can be immersed in that role. Like a previous poster said, I can't roleplay as someone who was always in the wasteland, who is gay/lesbian, and has never been in an monogamous relationship and has no children, because the game is telling me that that isn't who my character is.

Thanks for spoiling the game for me man. Appreciated.
 
I have to say, playing on PS4 i'm really surprised at how good it looks. Yes i'd read and seen everything on GAF for the past week, but actually now i have it, i'm rather pleased with myself because i was 50/50, coupled with the fact i hated F3 so a nice win win for me. IQ looks really great and the AA method used gives the image a pin sharp look, even more impressive given just how much foliage there is. and the AF level really helps keep things nicely detailed into the distance. Textures in the main look great, and really loving the art style, the colours, the lighting. Performance has so far been great though i'm only an hour or so in it, no combat situations yet. Looking forward to the day/night cycle kicking in and of course seeing the weather system in action. And finally it plays great 8)
 
O my god these fucking install times.

I wish I knew the game had a hard install instead of the more common short pre-install that let's you play while the rest of the game installs in the background.

No you don't. The prompts are kind of bizarre and don't make much sense. At one point it told me to hit down on the d-pad to sneak --when you actually push in the right analog stick.

The fuck he wasn't, it was an end game spoiler of a Day 1 game. He's already apologized and removed it. Let's move on.

I put it behind a spoiler tag. Also, it must have taken you a really long time to read because I edited it and put HUGE SPOILERS in front of it a while ago, like 15 minutes at least and then I completely deleted the spoiler, 10 minutes ago.
 
To those who have played this...how is the difficulty? I don't like difficult games and I played F3 for quite some hours but lost interest at one point cause I was stuck and all the menus were a bit overwhelming. Does it have difficulty settings?

Common sense is a rarity these days.
 
Having played this game since Saturday on PS4 and put almost 30 hours into it, i have to say that this is a really great game, but i have to feel a little disappointed. Atleast on the technical side. There are some seriously framerate drops, running around in Boston Commons. Almost all of the time, it made it drop down to 18-24 fps for atleast half a minute. Dont know if this is some kind of bug. I would tolerate it if the game looked something like Witcher 3, but it is far from it.

Also encountered some bugs, the worst is a guy that was stuck inside a wall so i couldn't complete the mission, didn't work to choose a earlier game save either, had to cancel the mission and return later. Bethesda make great games, but they are really broken.
 
So I was creeping up to this place. And there were a ton of ghouls. So I sniped them from a bridge. Except there were more who came running up the hill. Then I shot them and my dog killed one. I went to loot and more ghouls showed up. I shot them too, but the last one was legendary and did not like being shot. So I ran back to the bridge to snipe him from there. Then a bunch of super mutants showed up and killed him for me. But one of them exploded and killed the rest. Then another super mutant and a stray ghoul arrived to check on the explosion. The mutant killed the ghoul, and I shot the mutant. Then he mutated and got real angry, so I shot him again. Then he shot me lots and I was about to die.

Then a giant mosquito killed him.

I win.

Cool. Thanks for the feedback.

Anyone got any strong opinions on the gun combat?



Yeah, that's fair. New Vegas did it great. I prefer the character creation of FO3 immensely on paper, but New Vegas was so well executed.

Fallout 3 was unplayable as a shooter. In this game, VATS is completely optional. Vastly improved.
 
Does anyone know if it is possible to create white picket fences in build mode? I looked through all the options and I couldn't find any. I'd like to restore the original fences.

Ah thank you very much! Speaking as someone who was actually updating the Wiki for New Vegas during the release window I got to say that Im surprised to see that they have picked up the slack on updating the Wiki with info asap for Fallout 4.
Click to expand...

No problem :)

The Wiki's been updated with a lot more songs to the list since I last posted the link.

Just heard a track called 'Uranium Fever' in-game myself. :)
 
Quick question. Can I change my appearance at some point later in the story? I really wanted to make a Will Smith character, but I grew tired after an hour and just pciked some random dude up.


Also I am playing in PC and though it looks good there is some weird fps or something when I moved. It's kind of jarring. Anyone else has this and knows how to fix it? I read somewhere played borderless windowed mode. Have yet to try, but it seems weird to me.
