Super mutants get stuck on just about anything. I seem to remember that from the last fallout game, and the one before that, and the one before that.

 

[dork]

Ohhh my god, I just got why you meet the dog at Red Rocket lol

lol yeah, I was like ummm

 

[7DollarHagane]

Anyone else playing on hardest difficulty? I'm also going to try no crosshair but its kinda frustrating picking things up.

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Can you be

Brotherhood of Steel

and

Minutemen

at the same time?

And can you go back and forth between them without losing anything?

 

[BouncyFrag]

I just started!

Recommended difficulty?

 

[weshes195]

Hey should I sell my wife's (I am playing as the husband) wedding ring. I mean, it is worth 250 value and

Spoiler

it isn't like she will be using it

...

I plan on keeping mine for sentimental value, but no pint in keeping hers right? I just don't want to sell it if I need it.

Also, if you sell the things where you get extra special (

Spoiler

like the book in the home

) do you lose that extra point?

Need some help on a really early quest with Sturges

Spoiler

Im building this settlement right, and I've done the beds/water/food, and now he wants defense. I made like 15 guard posts and the dude does not give one fuck, my defense is at 0.

 

[SonicXtreme]

I ran out of things to eat and stimpacks, what are you supposed to do to stock up on health reliably?

Build a sentry gun.

Question: Is it possible to scrap all homes in a base or is it just the homes you can't go into. I would like to scrap all homes in and just start with foundations. I don't want ugly bombed out home cramping my design sensibilities

 

[StriKeVillain]

Holy moly the ambient music is good.

 

[Chitown B]

don't get hit.

 

[MrDaravon]

For early game sell for caps, scrap low value stuff. You get so much materials in sanctuary its not even funny. Why get 1 wood when you can get caps.

Depends on perks. There is a perk that allows you get better looted items from scrapped gear that will make scrapping weapons and armor very attractive. Without the perk they typically just return items like steel and wood which you will have more than enough of.

If you don't think those perks are worth it, probably worth selling more.

Thanks! I don't have the Scrapper perk yet. I tore the first two settlement areas completely apart so I already have a billion materials. I'll probably continue to stash stuff until I find a vendor I can sell at. OCD is kicking in hard, just don't want to mess anything up D:

The one goddamn time I could actually use the guide for a game lol. We have the CE guide on the way but won't be here until Saturday.

You have to allocate a npc for it to count AFAIK

 

[Wallach]

It's a perfect perk, my intelligence will never be raised on this character

I'm doing the same thing, though I'm concerned that later I'll need Science to juice up some of the better melee weapons. I hope not.

 

[Gragen]

Can someone tell me how to tell if an enemy is a legendary?

 

[JTripper]

Surprised at how much negativity or just mediocre feedback the game is getting on here.

Maybe I'm just a biased Fallout fan, but I'm 5 hours in and I felt like I've done nothing, in a good way, since I'm loving just doing anything. One of my favorite gaming experiences of all time is wandering the capital wasteland with GNR playing, and I get to do it again here in a brand new, better looking setting. I definitely see the design and visual hiccups here and there, but I honestly expected such and they're really not as bad as most people are making them out to be (as usual). I also haven't come across any significant bugs either, just maybe some funny visual stuff or stuck subtitles on the screen.

Last game that felt this daunting to me in terms of ambition and size was Witcher 3, yet I had no personal connection to that series since I never played a Witcher game before it.

 

[Zeliard]

It'll just say it right next to their name.

 

[Sarcasm]

Kind of stupid that lamb and markiepoo are voiced names while my wife Katrina isn't.

Nipple is voiced. Orgasmo. Sex. All voiced. There is more.

Katrina isn't a voiced name :-(

 

[velcry]

I'd argue you're meant to use it there as a buffer. There's even a power armor station inside so you can repair it. Without power armor that place is pretty harsh.

I know what you mean, but I'm finding that I really enjoy learning how to exploit the game without relying too much on Power Armor.

I don't mean save file exploits. I mean things like learning that if you stand just obliquely to turrets, you can shoot them and still be safe (given that there's a small hit box on their sides, while their bullets spew from dead center).

And yes, the AI still can't deal with you moving from one zone to the next. You trigger an alert in one zone, exit to the next, and wait by the gate for them to come out all unprepared, one by one. Hehehe.

The AI is also bad at rooting you out from cover. Some fifteen enemies came at me, and I hid in some L-shaped room and slaughtered them all at the entrance. Hehehe x2.

Highlight yesterday for me was when an enemy perched on a high sniping platform tried to run towards me, and his pathfinding made him plummet four stories to his death. Hehehe x10.

Still haven't figured out how to deal with feral ghouls in a cost-effective manner though. They move so quickly, take so much damage, and barely yield any good loot or ammo. So frustrating. Hehehe x0.

[Sushi Nao]

Part of the meta-narrative is forcing you to do - and eat and drink - terrible things to survive. Rads are part of the process, making Rad-Away a pretty vital resource. I'll eat anything except for bloatfly meat, that's a line I won't cross.

Spoiler

Yeah I didn't say Strange Meat

 

[Gragen]

It'll just say it right next to their name.

Thanks.

 

[Disxo]

So... storage.

Can I just dump my non-junk stuff like armors/weapons/clothing in any container and the game will "remember" that whenever I play the game for however long?

I am kind of paranoid of the items suddenly disappearing for whatever reason. Right now I am using a house in sanctuary to store my stuff, or the rocket thingie gas station where you first meet Dogmeat.

Can anyone shed any information/insight about this? Thanks

Do it, its a bethesda game
(Dont know about raiders though)

In theory you should be able to do that. That's how the past games worked I believe. Of course nothing is 100% certain. I personally think safer bets are the settlements instead of just some random locker elsewhere. I would kinda check somewhat often to make sure items are still there. In FO3 I stuck to the house you get in Megaton and in New Vegas I kept things stored in the motel apartment you get. No where else just in case the game decided it didn't like that.

 

[Corpekata]

Someone please answer my storage question above ;______;

It should stay there.


But it's a Bethesda game. I've loaded a quick save before that had lootables missing (food to be harvested).

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Wow this game is incredible!! Probably GOTY material for me. Let's see how she holds up

 

[robotrock]

Build a sentry gun.

Where can I find circuitry

How!!

 

[Christof]

Am I the only one who gets stuck coming out of the cryotube cinematic at start of game (game is playing and I can go to menu but have no movement). I have reloaded back to save after character creation but it gets stuck everytime.

I just made a new character starting at the main menu and it got stuck too.

 

[Plasma]

Someone please answer my storage question above ;______;

As far as I know yes you can store things anywhere and they'll stay there. I've played 18 hours so far and I put a trunk in Sanctuary early on in my game which is where I store all the shit I don't use but don't want to sell and nothing's disappeared yet.

 

[Disxo]

How!!

Assign your people to the defenses dude, sentries are not to be worried about in the beggining.

 

[Struct09]

The achievements aren't unlocking for me in Steam. Anyone know of a solution for this?

 

[Kadin]

So the plus and minus signs off to the right of the stats on weapons and apparel are the way to compare them to what you have equipped?

Think the mods would be okay with a general "Settlements" thread? Seems like it is very confusing for a lot of people so making a guide thread might help a lot and reduce clutter in here.

You on PC with a framerate higher than 60fps? Stuff gets wonky past 60fps.

Yeah combat is much better then Fallout 4 its great.

I count 8 Fallout threads on the front page right now, might want to hold off.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Reposting to hopefully get confirmation on this. Can't play atm or I'd check myself.

I dunno if you're still around buddy, but when you mod something, the left over materials are left at the bench for future use.

 

[Fret]

I've seen complaints about the lip syncing, but for me it looks excellent - I was surprised how consistently good it is.

Yes, but I think this is one of those features which is ripe for modding / patching / improving.

By now we're all used to side-by-side item comparisons (think Borderlands), so this current implementation feels like a throwback.

Seriously, what's the point of telling me this item has more defense, but then omitting to show me that I'll lose a stat point perk if I change?

 

[BattleMonkey]

So we can't get our pipboy apps to connect to the PC version of the game no matter what we try, neat.

Yeah better then I expected.
