Does combat feel slower in this game compared to 3/NV to anyone else? Not sure I like it so far. Need to get used to it.

? It feels like 10X faster, if anything.

 

[EekumBokum]

do they just not play sound?

Yeah, I've waited a couple minutes for all of them to start playing but only classical plays the music. I just hope this won't affect any quests.

 

[Unison]

if I join BoS can I also join MM?

Yeah, I've joined both.

Not sure if there are consequences, but you can do several missions on each plot line at least.

This took me like twenty minutes to find too, I felt pretty dumb. It's right underneath the catwalk Jared was standing on; there's a piece of wood against the wall that says "KEEP OUT" which is covering the safe.

Spoiler

Catwalk? This is near red rocket right? Jared? I don't remember a Jared...

Could you be out of signal range?

 

[Tomat]

I dunno, just feels like everything related to character movement and some of the melee combat feels slower to me. Everything has more weight to it I guess.

 

[EekumBokum]

Could you be out of signal range?

Can't be. Diamond City's not working anywhere, and I've tried to play the other radio stations as I get the message of going in and out of range and I get nothing.

 

[Trigonometrize.]

Damn.

 

[Mezoly]

So what to do when there is a nuclear storm? just go indoors or wear a mask?

 

[littlemagician]

How do you build more power armor stations?

 

[Steel]

Not a melee build, but from the little bit of it I've seen, yeah melee does seem slower. Gun fights are a lot faster, though.

How do you build more power armor stations?

Local Leader perk rank 2, I believe.

 

[bananafactory]

I planted a shitload of plants for Sturges but it still says my food is 0. Da fuq?

 

[Unison]

Yeah, or sit down somewhere and wait/sleep it out.

 

[Beefy]

You need to make people work (harvest) the plants. While in build mode (on PS4) click X on a person then go to the plant and click go.

How... All I did was plant and he was cool with that.

 

[Kalentan]

Going through a Raider-filled factory in my Power Armor with a minigun is just an amazing feeling. They really nailed the feeling or walking around in hulking armor.

While the game may have lost some stuff from Fallout 3 to Fallout 4, the game has never been just more FUN than it is now.

fast travel somewhere

Power armor in this game is fantastic. I absolutely love what they did with it.

Everything in this game is fantastic.

 

[Aurongel]

I've warmed up to this game a bit after a horribly rocky start. I'm still not convinced it's a good improvement on the series or even an impressive game by 2015 standards but it's definitely enjoyable so far just doing mundane things like exploring.

Also, tying radiation poisoning to your health bar and limitting it is BRILLIANT. Takes a page out of Dark Souls' book and totally fits the gameplay in a way that makes the system more important and interesting than it was in the past. Perfect example of what this game needed more of honestly.

 

[Apt101]

I was investigating some domicile and opened a door to find a deathclaw. Life is unfair. Like, how did he even fit in there?

 

[Don Julio]

Damn.

LIT

 

[Beefy]

At first it works like that (if there is nothing else to do such as collecting scrap etc). But when you get settlers or more people they just stand there until you give them a order.

Camilla...

So close. :[

I'm playing as Ma Ma from Dredd. Can't wait to be evil.

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

On PC, does anyone else get jittering while running?

 

[Staf]

Do companions have unlimited ammo if i give them a laser rifle? Or do i have to keep them stocked?

Wait if I named my character one of those, they would say my name in game?

 

[Idle Storm]

Anyone else find the radiative Swan in Boston commons? My god that was scarier than a deathclaw.

 

[darkwing-buck]

The atmosphere's music is superb.

Moment at the end of the (mission name)

Spoiler

Reunion mission

was awesome and adds a little life to the world I wasn't expecting.

About 7 hours in. The new dialogue system is pretty lame but the dynamic nature of it is kinda cool. Conversations can have multiple speakers now and they are a little less copy and pasted from Mass Effect than I thought. I hope they can find a middle ground in the future. The plot so far is...interesting. At the very least it has set up an interesting mystery that seems worth following. And the way they introduce you to various factions, cities, and settlements has been solid up to where I'm at.

Gunplay is surprisingly good. It actually feels fairly reminiscent of Destiny, especially when you have one of the Institute weapons.

PC version mostly running well. Had one crash but that's about it.

Thanks that worked.

Also, how do I eliminate radiation? I tried Radx but the restriction on my health is still there

 

[Vincent Grayson]

I've given companions guns, but never ammo, and it doesn't seem to be an issue.

You need to use Radaway not Radx.

 

[bananafactory]

You need to use Radaway not Radx.

Ah OK. I've played for 5 hours already and haven't found any, thats odd. Are there vendors nearby Sanctuary ?

 

[Beaulieu]

Um.

[SimpleGamer]

Feels like I'm playing COD WAW with all these the grenades the raiders throw.

 

[Chitown B]

doesn't seem like the X1 achievement app tracks progress on the "Do X of this" achievements

 

[WordsintheWater]

Game is not pretty, playing on PC with high settings, but damn is it fucking great. Haven't been this hooked in a long while.

 

[ckohler]

I thought I was doing pretty good at surviving until I came across my first group of Super Mutants and died three times within seconds. :/ Time to take a break.

Maybe I need my power armor for this.

 

[Beefy]

There's a trader who goes around the area yeah. I mostly make mine though. Just go near radation barrels and pick the mushrooms.

 

[Mossybrew]

So the evolution of my Wasteland Wanderer...

First an upstart punk.

Then a respectable gentleman.

Then after a punishing encounter with Super Mutants, something more appropriate..

I don't think this is much of a spoiler, but for me the game got difficult for the first time at level 14, doing a BoS quest which at a certain point sends you to investigate a satellite array. Which turns out to be a circus party of Super Mutants, I advise grabbing your power armor for this one, I didn't have it and ... actually it was the most enjoyable combat of the game so far, used up a lot of those mines and drugs I was saving for a rainy day. Great stuff. Died multiple times but felt no frustration, just "I can do this!!"

If anyone thinks that's too much spoiler territory I'll edit.

It's Dark Souls 2 PC all over again

CAn someone answer about the radio?

I read somewhere that said "Keep your radio on to get signals/quests that come from them."

IIRC in fallout 3/nv, you didn't have to keep you radio on for those things at all, your pip boy automatically picked up the signal when you were in range and you could listen.

So do we really have to keep our radio on now for those things or what? (Cause I'm like 10 hours in and hardly listen to the radio and now I'm afraid I missed some things).

The only time I got a mission from the radio, I had a message pop up telling me that I was close to some frequency and I listened to it and got the quest that way. So I think it works exactly like it did in Fallout 3, never played that game though.

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

what was the console command to increase carry weight?

edit: nevermind I found it. it's the same as NV.

 

[greatgeek]

Strange. In third person, my character's left arm is glued to his chest

 

[Aeternus Malum]

I left my power armor for a second...I got ambushed my raiders and one of them actually used the power armor against me.

That was completely unexpected

 

[Jtrizzy]

I just spent like 4 hours on my house/learning the system and 22 hours total. Jesus christ this game is amazing. Need SLI support though, performance gets iffy in cities.

That is pretty awesome, something to be raging about, but awesome that they have the intelligence to use it against you.

 

[Darrenf]

Loving the game. So happy that Fallout is back.

 

[Smushroomed]

How do i remove mods from weapons and scrap them for parts?

how do i scrap random items like dog dishes?
