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.

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

it's never going to be at that level. it's never going to be close. Borderlands is more the level I think you can expect after a lot of iteration.

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.

Deposit all of your junk (there is a single button press for this, look at the bottom of the screen). Then when you go to craft something, it will automatically scrap stuff that is relevant to what you're building without you having to do anything.

Oh I guess I don't know about weapons if that's all you mean. You can also equip weapons on settlers I know

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...

It's a sequel, and it has a tonne of changes all things considered. The settlement and pretty deep crafting mechanics are a huge addition. Not really sure what you were expecting from it? You could argue exactly the same about Oblivion -> Skyrim if you really wanted to, but that wouldn't make sense either.

I know about that, but screws (with scrapper perk) come from weapons, not junk. I even tried putting weapons in storage, but it didn't auto break it down, but the other poster says there is a better way, so I'll mess around with it next time I'm on the PC.
 
This game, man. This. Game.

So...log on 5 or so hours ago with an exact game plan to do X, Y and Z...wanted to actually make some side/main quest progress.

Oh, look! What is that in the distance? Yeah, I just now made it back on my original plan of doing X.

Loving this shit.
 
Lol didn't think hitting friends affected anything in the Sanctuary, but after like 10 consecutive swings they decided to turn on me

Having way more fun now that I'm starting to grasp things (especially the perk system, I was dumb and didn't realize you could pick from any right off the bat. Cannibalism!)

Also, lack of weapon degradation rules (for me). Resource management is enough of a task for me, also nice to have a melee weapon I can rely on
 
Anyone else think it's kinda fucked up how power armor is the weakest armor in the game, since it's the only kind that breaks down? My road leathers and gilded leather armor patches will literally last forever, but a few minutes of combat in my power armor and it's useless.

I really don't like the changes to the power armor system. Especially since you never see power armor NPC's changing out fusion cores.

Speaking of, if I have multiple fusion cores, do they automatically replenish when the previous one wears out?

I will say, the game does a good job of making you apprehensive about delving deep into urban areas. Playing on the second hardest difficulty and just a short trip into the Fens has cost me half of my stimpacks and a third of my 10mm ammo.

Thankfully they no longer split up skills of handling energy weapons vs. traditional guns.

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.
Click to expand...

I always F5 before using a terminal, as I've had it happen a few times.

Particularly that one spot in the museum where there is an angled floor board right in front of the terminal. Got stuck like 4 times before being able to use it.
 
McGRIZZLE'S FISTS-ONLY ADVENTURES IN THE WASTELAND -- LOG 1

They say this is the end of the world. But I say it's only the beginning.

A world not ruled by men in suits hiding behind men with guns. A people not corralled by such nebulous concepts as "the social contract" or "decency," or people with their hand on your shoulder saying, "whoa, chill out, bro."

No. The time for chilling out is over. There are no more bros.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. How did we get here?

Right before it happened, I'm changing my face and shit, and goddamn do I look good. My wife knows what's up and constants on how goddamn good I look like constantly. It's like, bitch, I know, but anyway.

I head out to the kitchen and our robot butler is flying around and shit. I check out the Grognak the Barbarian biography because that guy is legit. It was a better time back then, you know what I mean? Simpler.

Anyway, there's someone at the door and my wife makes me get it. I have to do everything! Anyway, it's some Man In the Yellow Hat asshole wanting to sell me some shit. I tell the guy to fuck off like 50 times but he won't go away. I look the guy dead in the face and tell him he can go hide in a corner and hide from the nukes, but if some nuke comes around to MY neighborhood and starts some shit, I'm gonna punch that nuke right in the fucking face. That's how McGrizzle settles shit.

Anyway, my fists are getting clenched good and tight, and I'm feeling like warming up for that nuke fight by punching a hole through this guy's face. Then my wife tells me I have to sign his forms! Fuck. Why did I get married?

Then the baby's crying and the robot and my wife tell me to go handle that shit too. Do I gotta do everything around here? Fuck. Anyway I go into the baby's room and make that little punchless punk shut up. What kind of a man starts crying for attention? I feel like I don't even know this kid. Why should I care about him? I feel like I'm being forced into this whole thing, like this big, heavy responsibility about caring for a wife and child is just being thrust upon me and I'm supposed to just instantly change from McGrizzle to McHusband and caring fucking McFather. This is bullshit.

Then finally, a sign from the heavens. The nukes are dropping. We run outside and everyone's all scared and shit. I take my time saying hello to everyone, looking to see if anybody wants to get all jacked to get ready. Nobody bites. Fuck this town.

Long story short, I run up the hill to get my wife and child in the bunker so I can go fuck shit up. I laugh at that Curious George motherfucker on my way up because they won't let him in. Then we get in the bunker as the bombs go off, and everyone's acting all scared. But not me. As long as I got my fists, I'm ready.

They put me in some icebox and then at some point the icebox thaws just long enough for me to see them open up my wife's icebox across from me. She starts going nuts about the baby, the baby, goin' on like she's Metroid or somethin'. Dude shoots her and I can't even blame him.

Sometime later I get out of the icebox and everyone's already dead. My fists are aching for something to punch so I let loose on some giant cockroaches on my way out. I get out of the vault and see that everything's pretty much gone.

If nothing else, the apocalypse has shown me that nothing can be counted on.
Nothing except your own two fists.

Time to fuck some shit up.

The Power Armor gets really powerful when you modify it
more powerful enemies do drop fusion cores, got 4 of a mutant and they are rare since it is a powerful power up

they do change automatically! :p
 
How do I connect electricity to TVs, fans and lights in houses? I have a water purifier and radio beacon that work fine. But I can't figure this out.
 
How much of the game is included on the retail PC disc (in GB)? I've read it's only a partial install.

Assuming 4-8GB due to DVD but if someone knows it would be great.

Edit: found the answer. 5GB. Bethesda, Bethesda.
 
For those that got retail PC version...does the game come with a code out of the box or do you need to use the discs before you can do anything else? I don't have a drive on my PC so I'm hoping I don't need one.
 
After recruiting Paladin Danse as a companion, I dismissed Strong and told him to go to Sanctuary.....but Ive looked freakin' everywhere and cant find him anywhere

I wish the companions showed up on your radar or had some way of tracking them :/
 
Really enjoying this so far. Only my second Bethesda game (first was Oblivion, and that lasted all of 2-4 hours).

If I give stuff to Codsworth, with he hold onto them even if I dismiss him?

Bugs have been minimal. Some strange animations at times, had one character cut off his own dialogue, and after coming out of the settlement "edit" mode sometimes I can't bring up my Pip-boy.
 
Jeez. Survival is no fun. Can't get anywhere near the Corvega plant without getting melted.

I'll probably switch down and put it back on later when I'm OP and the game becomes trivial
 
I have a 5 Charisma and I've failed at least 10 yellow conversation prompts and only successfully gotten 1 to work. :p

If you don't like him, just click him, "Talk" to him and dismiss him. He'll then go away.

It can take a few in-game days for the companion to show up, same "issue" was in Oblivion and forward...
try sleeping
It could also be a story progression thing, sometimes quests need updating

There's an installation disc, but I think that's just to speed up the install process by a bit. You should be able to just enter the serial into Steam, and the game will start downloading.

When the install was done from the disc for me, I was only at like 23% so Steam had to just download the rest.
 
So I I've joined the
Brotherhood of Steel
and the quest line just kinda stops? Did it glitch or am I doing something wrong?
 
The engine jank is so bad and ruins a lot of the story moments.

Like I spend an entire heavy story mission with one companion, come back to a quest giver and the companion acted like he/she didn't wasn't even there. Criticizing my actions as if they were news to him/her.

edit: and 3 seconds after I posted this my game crashed whoopee
