There's a distress signal in or around Hardware Town and I just can't fucking find the thing, it's driving me nuts.

 

[Audioboxer]

Be more specific. Spoiler tag it if you have to.

When Codsworth tells you to go check on your kid after the vault tec salesman leaves he will say Master "your name here"....

 

[Sullichin]

I'm only a few hours in but already kind of regretting some of my perk choices... gunslinger, lead belly... idk man.

I was enjoying using pistols until some mirelurks kicked my shit in. And I just bought Lead Belly cuz I'm not swimming in stimpaks and food be radiated.

 

[Mikeside]

What are some amusing character names?

I like the sound of Cock Olsen. It has that nice 50's ring to it.

I'm going with Dick Rogers. I think it sounds like a great 50s name

 

[CastleBravo]

My Amazon pre-order of the Pip-Boy Edition for PC that I ordered right as the E3 conference ended still shows as shipping today/arriving today by 8pm but no tracking number or anything. I'm worried. Is it normal for Amazon to not update the order in their system?

Saw this gif on Reddit. A radroach uses "armor". Thought it was funny.

[Alpende]

I actually figured that would be on there. Has anyone actually tried it. The name I picked isn't on that list, unless it's been updated in the last few minutes, and it was said.



That stuff is out. And even though I knew it was, it still felt kind of odd at first.

Thanks. So what do I do with all the duplicate weapons? Scrap 'em or sell 'em?

 

[v0mitg0d]

So if you're waiting for a package to arrive or are stuck at work, I posted another video of me playing on PC. I got into a little bit of trouble and may have killed an innocent gal along the way.

[kavanf1]

God dammit, game ending spoilers on release day. No more internet for me today.

 

[aravuus]

Is there really no way to see how much exp I've got and how much I'll need for the next level in NUMBERS?

 

[Screaming Meat]

When Codsworth tells you to go check on your kid after the vault tec salesman leaves he will say Master "your name here"....

Can you editor after...?

 

[The Last Wizard]

When you input your name is it supposed to be first and last or just first?

 

[Sullichin]

I'm confused at the lack of the skill system.

In Fallout 3/NV, I could pop some mentats to temporarily increase my INT and thus lockpick skill and bump it over the next threshold to unlock an advanced door or whatever (pushing me from 73-75 lockpick)

Can I even do anything like this? If I raised my INT with mentats I'd still need to buy the perk for advanced locks...

Also, if a perk has a 6 INT requirement for example, if I'm 5INT and use a hat or mentats or something that temporarily increases my INT, can I buy that perk? Can I use it once I drop down past 6 again?

Bumping cause I can't seem to find info on this online... anyone know?

 

[Munch Poke]

Not really impressed with the perks so far. Not sure how I wanna spec my character so far. I guess just improving my special until I figure it out is the game plan

 

[Hawkian]

How viable is stealth?

Seems totally viable to me. I don't understand how exactly it awards XP though, can anyone explain that?

Mmm,not sure what difficulty I should be playing at

Been playing at Very Hard, as someone who is basically new to Fallout. I'm really liking it, it actually is very hard. Stuff kills me very quickly. There's a lot of saving before a very tough spot and trying lots of different approaches. Very satisfying to come out alive though. I don't think I'll be lowering it.

Saw this gif on Reddit. A radroach uses "armor". Thought it was funny.

Haha, pretty early on I picked up one of those wastebins and hung in on a mailbox or hydrant or something. Was pleased with the physics.

 

[Astral]

That's actually kinda terrifying lol.

 

[Swag]

Can anyone explain how the hacking works? I have the first Hacking perk but I really don't understand how the system itself works, "likeness"?

 

[FlyinJ]

You just fucking met the dog and you expect it to perfectly listen to your every command as if you've trained him all your life?

c'mon son

Is this sarcasm? Or is there something I should be doing to train him? He's been with me like 8 hours of the game so far.

 

[Machina]

Saw this gif on Reddit. A radroach uses "armor". Thought it was funny.

That is AMAZING, why isn't that one a Legendary Radroach lol

 

[GlamFM]

Is this game super hard or what?

Been playing for maybe 3 hours and I´m get killed A LOT.

 

[FlyinJ]

Is there a way to "hold" or "drag" an item without picking it up? It's always some wonky command on the controller...

 

[TheSlySoul]

Almost installed, time for the Adventures of Purkeypile!
Edit: 33 - Mine is at 5%, so might want to reboot.

 

[33-Hit-Combo]

Just picked this up on PS4, downloaded/installed the patch, and now when coming to install the actual game, it's been hanging on 0% for about 10 minutes now. Is this normal?

sounds like it's harder than previous games which I'm ok with, I was able to smash everyone I encountered pretty early on in F3

Totally missed it or Katrina isn't part of that list.

It is very challenging if you go off the beaten track. I'm playing on hard and I've died a few times but not a huge amount. One of the times I got killed

Spoiler

I got blown away by a Raider who looked like he was wearing Power Armor in Lexington and he blew me away with a Rocket Launcher

 

[careksims]

Oh man I shouldn't have stayed up til 5 am playing this game. Oh my head... Still what I played has been fantastic so far.

 

[GlamFM]

Thinking about playing it on easy. The controls are absolutely not good enough for these indoor gun fights.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Oh man the cartoon for SPECIAL is great!

 

[Jobbs]

About 7 hours in and level 9 playing on hard and getting my ass kicked routinely. Everywhere i go there's another legendary or supermutant or mirelurk or group of ghouls waiting to kick my ass. My ammo is extremely limited, only my weakest guns have ammo right now. Also very few explosives which can help a lot in a pinch, but I am almost always low or out.

I'm just scraping by. I'm not ready to lower the difficulty because I like that the world feels dangerous.. But progress can be slow.

 

[Machina]

Oh man the cartoon for SPECIAL is great!

I'm in love with the personality on the perk chart and on the hub during gameplay. The amount of atmosphere and love that Bethesda piled into this game puts it in the elite.

 

[Jarrod38]

To buy or not to buy and just wait for future patches.

 

[bonesmccoy]

After spending 1 hour last night building fences/barriers around Sanctuaaaaraaaaayyyy I really do hope there is eventually a mod for longer sections of wall.

 

[Sullichin]

Can anyone explain how the hacking works? I have the first Hacking perk but I really don't understand how the system itself works, "likeness"?

Likeness = the number of characters in the right space that matches the password.

Say you pick HALO.
And the real password is FAME.
It would have a likeness of 1 because the A is in the same spot as the password, but none of the other characters match.

 

[papo]

I never really read to much into it before launch so sorry about the noobishness, but is the Special stat and the perks linked on the same exact level up screen?

Like I only get one point each level, but I have to choose if I put a point into special or get a perk right? Doesn't it seem kind of limiting

 

[Machina]

You don't really need to turn Sanctuary into a fortress. Enemies won't cross the river so they will always go for that dinky bridge near Red Rocket. Focus you defense there.

It is nice they give you something while it installs. I never played a Fallout game, so explaining my skills is a nice use of time.

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

I can't get into the groove after that first mission. Don't really know what to do. I need a good mission that is doable.

Some spoil tag what mission you did after the first one please.

Kim is far better done than Kanye, which is the way it should be

 

[Rollo Lawson]

Uh....maybe you should take a breather or something.

I'm fine. But ur right I forgot where I am.
There, Ryan Seacrest avy. That more comfy for you sir?
Do I still seem angry?

I'm pretty sure Fallout 4 now has the most concurrent players for a non-Valve game on Steam, beating out Skyrim and GTAV.

But how about that booty?
