What does the + next to loot mean when you're picking it up?
I read it meant it was better than the one you had but i just got a shotgun ( that had a plus) but in my Inc it's just attacked with the other shotty I had.
Is it only compared to your currently equipped weapon and not the same fun if you have it in your inv?

Anyone actively dislike the game yet?
I'm still on the fence and I don't want to buy into GAF's early bird hype.

throw them in the stash. when you are at a weapon or armor mod station, you have a "send all junk to storage" button, its a godsend
I always do it in sanctuary (for now) since its my go to base
Lady killer and the female equivalent don't give you dialogue options, it just makes the charisma checks easier. Unfortunately the dialogue system was not made by obsidian...
I like the gameplay, it's much better than 3 and NV, but I actively dislike the convo system and RPG aspects, they're actually worse than Fallout 3. Beyond that, the open world is Bethesda, the character creator is great, and the story is Bethesda.

I've seen people mention fans and toys.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
I feel like I'm the only one that forsook Charisma in the short term because I knew I wasn't going to really focus on quests until after I scratched my hording itch. I should be ready to do quests in about 40 hours or so and by that time (thanks to idiot savant) I should have enough points to up my charisma game.
This is horseshit.
there. although I find the idea of actively looking for reasons not to like or want something bizarre lol
yup. oil is my bane
The things that I like about the Fallout series are making me dislike this game quite a bit, but those things may be different for you.
That's how I feel. Have about 15 hours.

How many names does your servant robot actually know? I got a bit of a surprise when he straight up voiced the name I entered for my character. Is it just some kind of voice-to-text technology being used? It was very convincing.
I don't know if it's been mentioned, but I thought I'd share my thoughts on a part of character creation in Fallout 4 that surprised me and blew me away last night (I apologize, I'm just copying it from a Facebook post I wrote):
"This is going to be a little hard to explain, but I'll do my best.
Fallout 4 released yesterday at midnight (9PM for us west coasters), and I sat down, fired up the game, and began to painstakingly create my male and female protagonists. I don't tend to create myself when there is character creation, but I do love creating minority characters (Black, Asian, Mexican, Indian, etc). So I'm tinkering away, getting the facial features and skin tone how I like, then I move on to the "Extras" tab in character creation menu. Here, there were a plethora of options for scars, freckles, cuts, bruises, and more.
Imagine my surprise when I'm going through the options, and my character suddenly has a white marking on his jaw, a sharp contrast to his dark brown skin. I scroll through the options some more, and there are options for markings over his forehead, under his eye, on his neck. Holy shit, Bethesda lets you give your wasteland survivor vitiligo!
As someone who has suffered from vitiligo for over 15 years (I wasn't born with it; it didn't manifest itself until I was roughly 20-21 years old), this completely blew me away. I have never encountered a video game that allowed me to customize my character in this way. Vitiligo is a physically harmless disease. It's not a transmittable condition. It's not lethal. Even so, the effect it has on you psychologically, especially someone like myself, who has always struggled with low self esteem and confidence, it can be emotionally and mentally destructive. It has taken many, many years, and support from amazing family and friends, for me to even begin to regain what little confidence I had.
But this isn't about me. It's about how wonderful it is to see a developer like Bethesda offer this kind of customization for their players. Much like vitiligo itself, it is a superficial aspect of the game (there aren't any characters in the game that remark on the vitiligo your character has, for example; now THAT I wish was something that transferred into the real world, but I digress), and doesn't affect any gameplay decisions or functionality, it's just another option for you to consider when creating your character.
I can't express how much that means to me, and I was literally speechless last night when the realization of what Bethesda had done sunk it. So, yeah, thank you Bethesda for highlighting in your game, a condition that affects reportedly only 2% of the population (although, on a planet of 7 billion people, that 2% is a lot more than it seems initially), even if it's just a character creation option. Maybe if I start a new game later on down the line, I may be able to create someone who looks more like me."

kind of in the same boat but most things I read on here seems to be frustration and/or incomprehension so that doesnt bode well.

They still aren't good. Not as bad as FO3, but still very underwhelming. I think it's saved by a pretty good art direction.
not really. nor should you worry that much about the perk dmg bonuses. they are nice but thats all they are, dmg bonuses, you weapons still work. mods and looting better weapons will give you more dmg aswell

It feels like a fallout 3 expansion to me, but an expansion done by bethesda instead of obsidian. There are some new systems but the game plays almost exactly the same as 3. If more of the same is what you want you'll probably like it.
AW man I see Bethesda still hasn't given up on the combat design of spamming enemies after enemies with little supplies available.
I know you become more powerful later on but the earlier encounters should be designed in a way that you are not battling the system most of the time. I have shit weapons, little to nothing to recover health and it's been ages since I last saw a stimpack which would help me get rid of the health penalty.
The health penalty idea, what do people think of it? I think it's shit and has no place in any game.

People weren't kidding about the visuals...but I am still early in the game. Coming off Arkham Knight though...pretty huge difference and both are running on old engines.

Hard. Defintely more fun
I've played 6 hours and I've barely noticed anything about a family storyline. Only that my character is looking for her son. It isn't prominent. Then again I am exploring.
QUESTION: How the hell do I sell anything? Seems I can only transfer store to "store" in other people. I need caps and need to get rid of some weight.

Normal. Deffinately more fun
Easy. Defiant ly fun
Your build ought to be fine, I went with something similar for Survival, and at lvl 15 I haven't yet picked up any combat perks - save for a few hairy moments, it's been relatively smooth sailing so far. Chems are really good now so if you're investing into end/int they're a no-brainer. Plus the player voice when using drugs is hilarious.
I forgot about this feature in the game. I should have chosen something instead of the name of a slavic name ( which came to my mind because it belongs to a girl who I know thought was hot). Lol

Survival mode, brehs.
Hard as FUCK. You gotta specialize, you gotta improvise, you gotta get creative, and sometimes, you actually have to run. A far cry from the "starring Keanu Reaves as The Batman" levels of ease that the last two Fallouts provided out of the box, even at their hardest.

Threads moving fast. Anyone know which items have circuitry in them?
I had the same issue. It sounds like the engine isn't very capable of handling high FPS situations (e.g. high-end graphics cards, 144hz monitors, G Sync, etc.). I'm running this on a GTX 980ti and a 144hz monitor and my character would get stuck almost every time I exited a terminal.
The resolution for me was capping my FPS to 75 via NVIDIA Inspector. No more freezes, and the game still runs great. There are a few other fixes people have used, including limiting their monitor refresh rate, disabling G Sync, modifying the game's ini files, etc.

Sounds good, thanks!
I didn't get the feeling that he's looking for reasons not to like the game, just for people that are 100% not in the honeymoon phase anymore.
I'd like to think I'm one of those people. So far the game is like a solid 8-ish out of ten for me. Fun gameplay and exploration, terrible pretty much anything else lol. We'll see how much I'll get out of the vanilla experience, maybe 30-40 hours before getting bored.
So about 6 hours in on PS4:
MOST ANNOYING THING - Lots of little dialog glitches. I haven't missed anything important yet but it seems like the game is trying really hard to make me miss something.
Beyond that glitch, there's been nothing really noticeable. Obvious clipping when people hold guns but IDGAF.
No crazy framerate dips. Zero, zip, zilch. I took down that first
with the minigun and there was nothing, even with two cars exploding and two molotovs as well. I was paying very close attention at that moment because I wanted to see if there was a drop but I noticed nothing.
What I did notice? Game's fucking fun so far. Atmosphere of the wasteland is thick and, while the character models look like straight dookie, the environment is nice to explore.
Good stuff so far.

Hot plates and targeting cards (from turrets) at least. I just loot everything and dump it all into the settlement stash; you don't need to dismantle any junk anyway since it gets broken down automatically if a recipe calls for the ingredients.

Hold reload.
Did you guys identified any "must" perk? Can't decide on my initial build!
One thing is striking me in this game is how smooth the graphics are (PC version). Even at 1080p + TAA the game has very little shimmering and aliasing for an open world game.
Happy with the visuals so far.
Not a fan of the dialogue system though. And the dialogues don't flow very well, they sound a bit stiff and unnatural.

Loving the game but can certainly recognise flaws.
Namely;
- Forced narrative for protag that seems to go against the Fallout ethos entirely in order to piggyback on Mass Effect/The Last of Us "so emotional" pathos
- No holsters
(Only 2 so far but they annoy me)
Not graphically though, holy shit was that an overblown mess!
