My dog is missing.

Spoiler

I took Valentine with me when exploring Kellog's hide out and left the dog outside. When I finished and exited, he wasn't there anymore.

How can I find him again?

 

[robotrock]

Are there mappings on the controller for quick save and quick loading?

 

[texhnolyze]

Even New Vegas however started you out in a town with a handful of characters to explain the situation. I was just caught off guard with how you spend the first three hours of Fallout 4 running around and shooting.

Yeah, we only have Codsworth that explains everything in the beginning this time. Right after that, we have the Minutemen and settlers, which barely explain anything. The real interaction will be in the main city,

Spoiler

Diamond City

. Which will be after 20 hours or more of playtime for me. I've already put 15+ hours in the game and yet to touch the main city. It has also been discussed in the other thread, the intro of this game is such a lacklaster.

Probably at the red rocket.

In build mode, select a settler then select what you want them to be assigned to

Thanks. I'll check this out.

edit: oh, its at 6:30. Didn't realise that after you hit command, you have to highlight the object that you want to assign them to. Cool!

My friend who was reviewing the game said he wanted to lower the score because of missing companions, but the one he lost turned out to be part of the story so he put the score back up. Just letting you know for those who are saying they are missing people (I didn't ask what companion)

 

[Dicer]

So, finally got around to playing this, When exactly are they going to make a "new" game?

This is literally Fallout 3/NewVegas with a new coat of paint, and not even a really pretty coat of paint at that.

I keep trying but it seems these games just are not for me...

 

[Kyoufu]

I've done a bunch of quests and still only have 5 settlers in Sanctuary. Has anybody gotten more?

 

[Easton Dark]

This is literally Fallout 3/NewVegas with a new coat of paint

Well it is a sequel.

Besides, I find there to be plenty of differences between 3 and 4.

OMFG!!! I FOUND THE ALIEN BLASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Was playing and then I hear a loud sound like a plane was close by, looked up in the direction I was hearing it from and saw something shoot across the sky, so I was like, wtf was that??? loaded my save and went to that same spot and hit that record button, and I saw this........................

so I sprinted in a straight line towards its flying direction and I find this after about a good 30-40 minutes of searching.

was the alien dude close by? I found the ship in my game but nothing else

nvm found it

 

[SimpleGamer]

Just seen a behemoth fighting a deathclaw. Man I love this game.

Spoiler

behemoth won but lost to my fat man shortly after.

My dog is missing.

Just fast travel somewhere, he should pop up next to you

 

[Machina]

Do you see those mushrooms near the Alien's head? They glow green at night. Look for them at night when they're shining like beacons and hopefully the alien spawns there everytime

 

[littlemagician]

Best side missions so far?

 

[kabel]

I really wonder why the brotherhood of steel guys don't want to kill Codsworth.

He act's like a human but is a robot. They also see how he kills everything that moves when I do missions for the brotherhood of steel.

It's just that he is not looking humanoid enough?

 

[Dragoshi1]

On PS4, can confirm after multiple fast travels and heavy searching of both Sanctuary and Red Rocket, I've come to the conclusion that Dogmeat has vanished into some sort of void.

I sent him to Sanctuary, while IN Sanctuary, after getting Codsworth. After quick traveling somewhere and back, he's nowhere to be seen, not in the dog house either.

 

[KorrZ]

But yeah, this combat is garbage. To be honest, I was expecting gunplay on par with like... Deus Ex or something given how hyped everyone is. Hasn't this game been in product for something like seven years?

Er really? It's fine that you're disliking it but, the gunplay in this is just leagues ahead of Deus Ex.

 

[qa_engineer]

Was expecting this game to look bad on PC because of all the negative posts, was pleasantly surprised that it does not.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

nah i looked it up:

Spoiler

the alien leaves blood on the ground and you follow it to a cave where it is.

The Synths have their own distinct Humanoid style I think, while the Brotherhood have been used to the existence of Mr Handy units for decades.

 

[Kyoufu]

Er really? It's fine that you're disliking it but, the gunplay in this is just leagues ahead of Deus Ex.

I don't remember Deus Ex's gunplay much since I was mostly stealth in that game, but Fallout 4's gunplay is clunky. It's just so weak after playing something like Destiny. They can do so much better.

 

[Hip Hop]

Anyone know if I can continue the game after finishing the main quests?

 

[RootCause]

Played a couple of hours. Fantastic game, gunplay is much better than in previous games, and quite fun too. Even forgot to use vats a couple of times. The settlement thing felt a little overwhelming.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

Probably at the red rocket.

Yep. you're right. Thanks.

 

[BFIB]

You can.

 

[kris.]

So Boston's kinda dangerous! As soon as I entered that bank I found, a fat man went off right outside. Scared the everloving shit out of me. Turns out there was a power armored raider chilling out on top of one of the buildings with a fat man on him. Gotta be more careful, I guess.

 

[BearPawB]

Can anyone help me with a potential bug

Vault 81 related spoilers i guess;

Spoiler

I returned the girls cat, and i read that a new quest is supposed to appear about Austin being sick.
I can not get this quest to appear. Is it gated in any other way? I have waited time, i have been to the sick bay.

 

[spyder_ur]

I really enjoyed the (GoodNeighbor spoilers)

Spoiler

Silver Shroud

quest line.

 

[texhnolyze]

Yup, after those long threads of shitting on the graphics in the last week, I set my expectation low.
Surprisingly, I'm amazed.

--------------------------------------------

What's the best way to deal with super mutants?
I'm totally devastated on the greenyard side quest. Am I not supposed to encounter them yet? Level 9 character.

 

[GodParticle]

So far this game has been pretty boring. I only played FO3 a long time ago, but I don't remember losing interest in it like I am here. Maybe it's too much of a been there, done that I get with bethesda games

 

[darkwing-buck]

Im glad the guns don't sound so shitty like they did in NV/3

 

[Mad Season]

is anyone getting stuck whenn using a terminal? there is nothing i can do but reload a previous game because i keep getting stuck after using a terminal. cannot move etc.

 

[Beefy]

Them mushrooms are everywhere, they are used to make Radaway.

 

[RandomSeed]

They took out weapon repair, but now you need to dump them all on the ground and scrap them for springs anyway. LOL! I think repair was quicker.

lol, yeah i encountered at least a couple of those assholes with Fat Man's already. no idea why you'd waste on a mini nuke like that.

I think I've encountered that dude as well, I got killed by his nuke, which is how I got the Touchdown achievement

Cap the FPS at 60.

On this engine though? Isn't it kind of glitchy for that stuff?

 

[texhnolyze]

You can scrap them in an easier manner via the weapon workshop table.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Er really? It's fine that you're disliking it but, the gunplay in this is just leagues ahead of Deus Ex.

Maybe I'm looking back on DE's combat more fondly than I should, but there is zero excuse for the combat in this game to be as clunky as it is in 2015. No excuse. Especially for something that's been in development so long. This would have flown in the last generation, but not now.

 

[Kid Ska]

Aw yeah. Just got my second suit of Power Armor! Too bad it's only a leg and a torso.

Also, fuck Sentry Bots.


And the crib is looking pretty nice

Did you add the communication tower beacon?


And fuck exploding cars.

 

[RandomSeed]

Hmm, really? I put junk weapons in storage and it didn't seem like it could auto scrap like other junk. Or do you mean you select them while on the table and there is a scrap option/key? If so, that's nice, and thanks.

 

[Soulflarz]

Legendary robots who blow up at death, pls

 

[Mad Season]

really???? how would that affect it?

I had the same thing happen to me, but with Piper. Luckily I had a preview save so I popped that one up and I fixed it.

 

[7DollarHagane]

I gasped and almost got out of my chair when the mirelurks came out of the water.

Then they fucking destroyed me

I'm currently not on my PC to test it. But I've also scrapped them one by one on the ground previously, but then I found out that I can do that on the table instead. It would be great if someone can double check on it.
The same method goes for armors as well.
