Named my character Burt Macklin, I feel like a badass already

 

[Piggus]

I know people have been bagging on the visuals, but the game is pretty damn good looking on PC in the outdoor areas, especially when you first leave the vault. Indoor areas would look better with more dynamic lights/shadows.

 

[xkramz]

so

can i recharge

Spoiler

fusion reactors for power suits?

how do i dismantle unwanted items? **nvm answered by someone

any good settlement guides available?

 

[Flying Toaster]

I have 1 in strength and a massive dump in agility, intelligence and chariisma. I found a tux.

I am mother fucking James Bond!

 

[Corpekata]

Okay, I figured out how to Un-bug the Covenant quest. I think?

Spoiler

When trying to complete the quest I would be aggroed by the entire town when stealing the password to the computer.

I noticed I had an optional objective I could still do, going to visit the destroyed caravan. There is evidence there to suggest they stopped in Covenant.

I also talked more the prominent NPCs about things like Synths and the compound.

I was finally able to steal the password without the town trying to kill me.

I'm not sure what triggers being safe. But it seems basically that trying to steal the password too soon upsets the game.

Oh wait I also changed companions from Dogmeat to Cadsworth. So one of these three criteria perhaps.

Or I just got lucky that time.

Basically the game appears to not want you to skip steps, I think?

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

how do i scrap random items like dog dishes?

You need a weapon workstation and then you can go into any weapon in your inventory and take the mods off.

You can't scrap Legendary items.

Random items you can store in your workshop(Go to your most used workshop area, IE Sanctuary), hit the 'transfer' instead of 'craft' button, and there should be a 'Store all Junk items'. It's usable in all the workshops in that area(Ie sanctuary). They'll scrap automatically when you make things.

As for mods, you can scrap a weapon and the mods will be saved in a tab in your pipboy, I believe it's a 'mod' tab.

 

[KZXcellent]

I've run into an issue where if an NPC is needed for 2 quests it'll do the first but then never want to talk to me about the second. This is awkward.

 

[mulac]

Just finished searching Sanctury and will head over to Concord later tonight...

One thing - is it possible to target enemies before switching to VAT?
Those damn RADbugs keep attacking me.

First Fallout Game for the win

 

[bananafactory]

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

Thanks. Sorry for yet another question but where are radiation barrels? I see normal barrels around but there's no fungus

 

[DietRob]

Base building is right up my alley I feel like I'm going to spend a lot of time doingit and making sure everything is perfect. The game really has it's hooks in me. It's certainly not the prettiest and I've ran into my fair share of frame dips on ps4 but it hasn't effected my enjoyment of the game so far.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Sooo there's explosive Ghouls in this game!!??

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJsbQEmUn0Y

Scared me to death, literally.

Spoiler

I know it's not a explosive ghoul. lol

 

[Milennia]

Some pretty early story quest spoilers, just need some direction here

Spoiler

i currently have the quest to go to diamond city for the first time or the quest to kill all of the raiders at the power plant, they are both very far out there and the raiders at the power plant are just destroying me along with all the feral ghouls, whihc path is better at this point? im currently level 6

 

[Durrzerker]

Hey can anyone tell me if FO4 Heavy and Melee/Unarmed weapons can be modded extensively? My main concern about going melee/heavy weapons is it seems like the modding system's pretty clearly biased towards small arms

 

[VisceralBowl]

Damn, how do you keep managing to transport all them lol

I can never pick power armor up without getting encumbered

I keep my inventory open or make multiple trips.

Just added another to my collection

 

[grimmiq]

Quick question for defending your town, are there any actual destructible buildings? Like can they burn down a house while attacking or is it just protecting my people?

I Was messing around with it a little earlier and starting building a floor on the roof of an existing building and extending it outwards..then realized if I deleted the floor connecting it to the roof, the rest stays there, floating in mid-air. I can then build stairs going up from this floating platform.

I want to build a floating Ewok village..

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

Do you have a broken arm? Maybe he has an invisible sling.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Ok heading to bed, I put In a good 7-8 hours tonight and I am completely blown away. The game is incredible Fallout is back!! Nothing fees like Fallout!

Thank you Bethesda!

 

[Soulflarz]

Where do you keep these

 

[Sarcasm]

Where do you keep these

A shack he built with many power armour stations.

 

[Jobbs]

if I add a grip to a pistol that makes it more like a rifle, does that reclassify it for perk purposes?

 

[Chitown B]

Irony...

 

[Ruken]

Where do you keep these

Looks like a self built building.

 

[VisceralBowl]

Where do you keep these

A shack I built with 6 power armor stations in it. Need to make more.

 

[takriel]

Kind of a silly question: How does Bethesda manage to stay afloat financially if they only release one game in 4-5 years?

 

[Rean]

It seems like a lot of the starting missions make it nessessary for you to use the power armor. Theres so many enemies around that you'd just get mauled without it.

 

[Corpekata]

Kind of a silly question: How does Bethesda manage to stay afloat financially if they only release one game in 4-5 years?

They don't. They might release these bigger RPGs in that timeframe but they release things like Evil Within and Dishonored too.

 

[Mossybrew]

Hah yeah what's up with these guys? I've blown the head off every one I've seen so far, about four now. Creepy bastards.

 

[Durrzerker]

Kind of a silly question: How does Bethesda manage to stay afloat financially if they only release one game in 4-5 years?

" In June 2013, Bethesda announced that over 20 million copies of the game had been sold."

That's how. The same way Rockstar stays afloat only making one game every 4-5 years.

 

[antitrop]

Bethesda Softworks games sell a shitload, and it also helps being owned by Zenimax and all that.

someones ahead of us

 

[Rizzi]

I'm playing on PC with my PS4 controller. Is there a way to display the PS4 button prompts instead of Xbox One prompts? :/

 

[Ferrio]

About gun modifications, do the accuracy bonuses apply to VATS? Both would refer to hip fire or sights.

 

[velcry]

I keep my inventory open or make multiple trips.

Just added another to my collection

Just a suggestion, you think you can arrange your armours in a circle, like in the Iron Man movies? Thought that would look cool too!

 

[Chitown B]

Should I return it?

 

[Durrzerker]

They don't. They might release these bigger RPGs in that timeframe but they release things like Evil Within and Dishonored too.

That's Bethesda the publisher, pretty sure he's asking about Bethesda the developer. Why their publisher keeps them open if they only make two games a decade.

 

[N° 2048]

You know how you can rotate items you are placing when building settlements?

Can you move them farther away?, they feel so in my face.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Huh, so I just started up Fallout 4, and it played the 'Intelligence' short vid...does it do this randomly? This is amazing.

 

[level1]

So, I kind of went in haphazardly and allocated only 2 points to my luck tree..now that I'm going through it properly, i realise there are some incredible skills there and would like to focus on it more..is there any way to reallocate skill points (I'm already out of the vault), and if not, do you think giving up 8 points on skills instead of perks is too much?

 

[Chitown B]

way to get the "bottles on the wall" Nuka Quantum:

http://xboxclips.com/Shadow+XBL/6ac62a3f-eab4-4bc7-96b7-87e69c250a0e

Didn't know if they were indestructible.

 

[Kyoufu]

Managed to buy a legendary (it has a star on it at least) piece of gear which boosted my defense by a decent amount. Now I can actually kill a wave of enemies without getting wrecked.

 

[Monster Zero]

Hey can anyone tell me if FO4 Heavy and Melee/Unarmed weapons can be modded extensively? My main concern about going melee/heavy weapons is it seems like the modding system's pretty clearly biased towards small arms

I'm running a full melee/stealth build and rest easy, plenty of modding options on weapons, I'm using a security baton that stuns motherfuckers to the floor right now, just bzzzt, down. Melee builds are rewarding on very hard.

 

[GavinUK86]

So where's the best place for good armor and guns? I feel like I've been running around with crap for hours now.

 

[KiefbladeMaster]

The only thing bothering me so far is the AI grenade spam. Sat outside of a door while an aggroed super mutant threw about twenty in a row.

 

[Timeaisis]

So either I'm terrible or I'm under leveled.

Raiders at the

Spoiler

power plant

are kicking my ass. I'm level 5. This is one of two quests available to me. I have shit weapons.

 

[Machina]

Has anyone else encountered the "mourning raider"?

 

[hughesta]

You guys help should I join the brotherhood of steel

 

[littlemagician]

Where am I supposed to find the item gear for building?

 

[g23]

Question.

If I lose my power armor is there a way to track it down?

Likewise for companions (like the dog)

 

[Chitown B]

it should show up on the map.

 

[The Illiterati]

The ease of searching/looting containers/desks/bodies is much appreciated. Such a time saver, simply scanning over them visually. Only now I often bring up my Pipboy trying to close the window like old times.
