Not sure if this is best here or in the performance thread, but anyway, could someone try and help me out with this?

Bethesda's mod didn't provide me a fully satisfying answer, and I have no idea how this even works (I can only play the game with my GPU disabled).

Here's a screenshot I took yesterday of how the game currently looks for me (unoptimized):

Needless to say, my computer hardware consists of relics from ancient days.
 
Q about the satellite dishes close to the starting zone

So when I got there the BoS had already showed up in the blimp. The had a chopper flying over the satellite dishes and the Super Mutants and the GunRunners next to the tank shot it down. When it crashed into the satellite dishes three members of the BoS ran from the chopper (still alive for some reason) and had a shootout with Super Mutants and the GunRunners. I've never see anything as hectic. This all took place in about 60 secs and then I died. I loaded up and next time the BoS was never too be found but the Super Mutants and GunRunners had a shootout. Is this just random stuff or was it scripted?
 
it's most likely a small alien ship that crash lands, I had a quicksave before codsworth said something liket that. Was able to see something fly across thes sky, not too long after I found it while wandering so I assume that's what it was.

yea thats what I thought it was too. was hoping it was a scripted location since I'm looking around the area and I dont find anything :( oh well I'll keep loading up the save till i see where its coming from
 
Not sure if I should get the Collector's edition or the paperback one which is quite a bit cheaper. I dont really have need for these posters. But that hardback version is looking sooo good.

For the extra bit, the Hardcover is worth it! It'll last longer.

I don't even feel guilty one bit. Encumbrance in this game is a stupid mechanic, always will be. It doesn't make the game more difficult, challenging or interesting in any way. Equipment burdens I can get behind, but inventory in a game that has a whole minecraft side game? Fuck that.


SO many role playing possibilities. I love looking at Dogmeat and telling him "ok buddy, saddle up..time to carry all my shit."
 
HOLY SHIIIIIIIT

do NOT CLICK if you havent been to Goodneighbour, specifically to the Hotel there

its the vault tect guy from the start :D hes a ghoul now lol

man, I kinda love this game.
 
So I'm not too far into the story, just rescued Nick. Is there a story reason
why diamond city is freaked out over synths, but don't bat an eye at Nick
?
 
I need help with a bug. Piper is emitting a constant clicking noise, it's getting really annoying. I've tried reloading the game, and dismissing her but it didn't help. Anyone know how to fix this?
 
i, respectfully, disagree

having to think about what i can afford to carry is something i appreciate about exploration and looting
I entered Diamond City for the first time last night overencumbered by 150lbs (stealth and Dogmeat were absolutely crucial to surviving the trip), sold everything off for a huge windfall and got back below the limit. Cleaned that entire damn city of its bottlecaps. The journey was not trivial to be able to come in with so much extra stuff... I was also severely irradiated and lacking in conventional combat options. I can't imagine cheating around the weight limit, but it is nice that the game can be played in so many different ways and still be enjoyable
 
I was thinking about using Spotify streaming on ps4 to get a better soundtrack for this game, there doesn't seem to be a lot of songs and the DJ in the begining kind of sucks. Does any of that change?


If not recommend aspotify station that would mix well with this

I want to do that but then I'd feel like I wasted the points I put into Strength. I wish there was a way to respec.
 
Don't forget you get
+1 from a bobblehead
.

Of course but im very impatient lol, i might just dump one point after all. Oh and guys did anyone got a special event when returning to
diamond city
? Im talking about the
dude who accuses his brother of being a synth, i was gonna try to talk him down but he got his head blown up by the security guards, i wonder i could have changed that but i bet it was a scripted event to set the paranoia in that place.

There's a quest that makes the DJ better.

Are you sure it's coming from her? Occasionally I will also get a constant clicking noise. It comes and goes but can last up to 30 mins or more. I don't use any companions, so it seems to be coming from my own character.
 
Does anyone notice on the PC sometimes when you switch a weapon it takes like 3-5 seconds for the weapon to appear? I'm getting killed because of this.

Yes, she is definitely the source of the sound.

yes he tells his story and awnsers exactly what you asked

That might be the only valid point, as it de-incentivizes the STR stat a tiny bit. But so does the ability to load shit onto your partners or make multiple trips.

yes

as a general fyi, if you use a companion and get them to like you, they will share their story (and then more once they admire you)

It's less prejudice against synths and more paranoia about synths masquerading as humans. Nick is clearly a synth and doesn't do anything to hide it, so he's accepted.

The far weirder thing is they have seem to have no problem with me rolling into the city with a super mutant buddy.
 
Yup they'll take it joy riding and straight up lose it.

I'm pretty sure that's what happened to me. I found a power armor on a bridge and after teleporting back to my settlement it showed on the map as my only power armor. Either someone stole my shit and then left it on that bridge or they stole my armor from Red Rocket (where I had no defenses or NPCs lol) and the one I found is legit new.
 
-bitches about too many quests and locations / content

-searches every nook of a new location looking for quests

As an unarmed melee focused character I think unarmed is totally broken in Power Armour. You're not allowed to use any fist weapons and so my attack drops to about 1/4 of what it is without the armour. So I'm pretty much forced to switch to my power sledge. I know there are mods you can do to the power armour arms that improve the unarmed damage and add bleed and stuff but it shouldn't be totally useless without them.
 
What does the Legendary
Stag
drop? Was minding my business by the
graygardens
and ran across it. Thought it was gonna be easy with how fast the health went down. Next thing I know,
it glowed red, hp went up and
I got wrecked lol.

Legendary monsters are a random variation of monster that will spawn, they drop some sort of "good" armor / weaponry.
 
Ok, can someone provide me with some insight into the camp building system?

Maybe I haven't progressed far enough - but why am I building stuff at these places? I haven't seen them get attacked yet. And even if they do, what's the incentive to keep these poor bastards alive?
 
I am 13 hours into the game, and feel like I don't have a single good weapon. I am playing on Hard, but seriously, I struggle fighting just two Ghouls together because my weapons just do crap for damage.

I'm kind of curious too, but since the first settlers are essential, I'm like, "I hope some super mutants come fuck you guys up. Here's a single light bulb. I'm out."
 
What is the point of no return for faction quests?

I wanna save before them so I can split off and just power through them for the trophies at the end.

Have you been crafting your own mods for your weapons? they make a huge difference.
 
yesterday I was told that settlement missions do eventually end. They are pretty much all I have been doing. I just now did one that was the exact same as one I did hours ago. Do they just repeat over at a certain point?
 
Does that exist?! I need some OP things.
The game doesn't word it as that, but mechanically it's exactly that, yes.

Combat Shotgun with "long barrel". You're welcome. Seriously, that weapon can carry you through the whole game.

Have you been modding your weapons? With the Gun Nut perk the, upgraded 10MM pistol from the beginning of the game is still better than anything I've found so far.
