How far in am I roughly when my objective is to go find
Virgil in the Glowing Sea
You've got a bit to go!
no. You can keep playing after you finish it but I havent heard anything about NG+
really? I just went there and I thought I was nearing the end, er...story wise. Im nowhere near being done with it myself. neat.
The exact thing happened to me, I just quick traveled a bit and eventually be was at the doghouse.
You too can experience what it's like to be one of the three stooges with dogmeat.
I can't find Nick
He's not in his office. If I remember correctly, I "released" him as a companion, and told him to go somewhere, but I can't find him anywhere..
Aaargh..
are you on PC?
if so, open the console, type in:
prid 00002f25
moveto player
did the game fuck up my overseer's guardian or what. it's supposed to shoot 2 bullets ''together'' or whatever that is but it doesn't, not anymore anyway.
this is just more and unnecessarily annoying.
to me makes sense to have radiation separated from the HP pool, like it was in the previous games. and of course getting penalties or dying from it.
this is just more and unnecessarily annoying.

I'm glad I didn't let my initial disappointment sour my experience of the game. It's not perfect, but I'm getting the same happiness I got with Fallout 3 out of the game now. The first hour or so is a slog, but when it clicks it does so in a big way. I think the game also puts new players at a massive, massive disadvantage in terms of resources. I am currently swimming in ammo and stimpaks.

Okay im gonna say it ,
ghouls are bloody OP as hell.
their lunge is faster than what a vats slowdown can even make up for. ive been slapped so many times now.
its just better to go the traditional zombie killing melee route with them.

I am. Thanks.
New to PC gaming, and have never used a console before.
So, I should open the console with ~ and type in prid 00002f25, press Enter, and then type in movetoplayer? Is that correct?

56 stimpacks
i switch b/w my sniper 300 ammo, laser pistol 600+ ammo, burst fire pistol 1200+ ammo and shotgun ~280 ammo.
scavenger +high luck is broken.
only problem I have with ghouls is that when you see one, maybe two, you think "oh it's ok, not hard to kill" but then while in VATS you realize that there are suddenly 50 of them coming at you from everywhere, and then you start running.
* anyone?

There are 3 types of damage: ballistics, energy, and radiation. Each enemy has different defenses to each type which you can see if you select a certain perk. Super Mutants, for example, are strong against ballistics, weak against energy, and immune to radiation (duh). A lot of early game enemies are weak to energy so lasers and fire damage tend to punch above their weight class.
I believe that the game uses a Damage Threshold system where the damage done is equal to the damage from the attack minus the armor rating for that damage type though I think every attack does a very small amount of minimum damage.
It works for Fallout 4 for me. Irrespective of real world geography (I have no idea how close Lexington is to Boston in real life), I feel like they do a good job representing the density of the modern world with a huge central city, small suburbs surrounding it, office parks and industrial sectors, etc radiating out from there. For a modern/day future world like Fallout the amount of negative space feels believable to me. Whereas the exact same amount of negative space in The Witcher 3 would have bothered me.

Surprised how fun the combat is. Vats has always been a pretty fun mechanic, but man, taking half of a feral ghoul's head off in a slow motion cinematic just as he's about to pounce is pretty damn satisfying.
Also, for all the shit Bethesda gets, they do the exploration aspect of open worlds better than anybody else. Show the whole map from the start, don't highlight any locations but have them pop up on your radar if you come within range. It really makes you feel like you're exploring this big mysterious landscape and gradually getting to know the world. I honestly wish all open world games would copy it.

moveto player, its 2 words. basically the first command spawns nick, the second puts him next to you
and yes. on my keyboard my console opens with "ç" but whatever works for you
does anyone know if Curie SPOILERS
becoming human, well, a human looking synth anyway
Bethesda went a little overboard with ghouls and using them quite liberally.
Thank you!

Really? As in, there's a lot left? That's...surprising
Just shoot their legs out. Legit some of the easiest enemies once you start targeting limbs.
Actually, targeting the torso for any enemy is less effective than limbs.

Huh? What did I say? Did I screw up again? :(
Yeah... melee is the best way for me to handle ghouls if close range though they do go down really fast when being snipped. I cleared the train yard with almost one shot per ghoul.
Have not been keeping up much with the threads but does anyone else have issues with random lockups with audio bugs, resulting in having to hard reset the computer? Have not been able to find any solutions via Google.
Other then this I have not had any major issues with the game, it runs well on ultra settings and I'm really enjoying it. Haven't reached diamond city even after 10 or so hours but I guess that's pretty normal.

Once you level up a bit and get a good weapon like a Combat Rifle, shooting Ghouls in the leg becomes nothing more than target practice.

I really have no idea why they felt like they needed to have the game take place 200 years after the bombs.
It takes place in an entirely different part of the country from fallout 1/2 so there's no way they would even know what's going on over there.
The idea that 200 year old instant mashed potatoes, soda, and apples are edible or even would be readily available is crazy.
The idea that none of the trees would have grown back in 200 years is stupid.
200 years ago there were no buildings, roads, railroads, or anything but native americans in 75% of the area now known as the united states.
This is just such a stupid plot point and I cannot understand why they feel it's necessary to go so far away from the bombs but still be tied to the pre-war stuff.
I love the game but the creators of the original fallout had enough sense to be one or two generations removed from the war.

Lol I got like 150 stim packs and an average of 400-500 of any ammo that isn't .44.
I got high luck and I stealth when applicable, when I get hurt I usually heal with food for the minor things and only use stimpacks when I'm about to die or a limb might break.

Didn't like Fallout 3 or New vegas much. Loving Fallout 4. But, I am almost overwhelmed by how much there is to do.
I havent even been to Diamond City yet, but have done enough of the Minutemen Missions that Garvey wants
but its so far Southwest that I can't seem to get there. Trying to go through the city area has been a colossal drain on my ammo, and after 2 hours and countless deaths, I'm thinking that I may not be high enough level to get there at 12.
Also, the relay beacons that unlock distress signals have so much static that I cant hear them, is there a way to amplify them or do you have to just listen SUPER close?

Agh, I should do this more. I have like a shitload of purified water and food too.
Fallout enemies don't scale to level. So going South the enemies get harder.

So when you assign settlers to food, you still have to harvest it yourself? They only cause the food to respawn?
You know you can change the way your character looks in diamond city there is a doctor there when you head forward towards the little cooking robot and make a right there will be a door there with a doctor sign on it, head in (During the day unless he wont be there) and there you have it

Console Commands are God's Gift.
That is all.
That is all.
I caved and bought this yesterday. Realllly liking it so far. I had FO3 once, but it felt overwhelming and I stopped playing it.
I've only made as far as Concord and retrieved my first power armor. Anyone have some advice for a newcomer?
Also, I wish this game had co-op. Exploring dungeons and base building would have been totally awesome with it.

Where can I get the
skin suit? I see some people wearing it, but I haven't found it yet on my game except on one NPC.
Can't wait until I get the GOTY edition for PC when it comes out. The mods are gonna make stuff so much better.

I am interested too... Also when you have multiple crops near to each other it seems that assigning a settler to one crop is enough and he will work on the other ones around, can you confirm?
a few places but there is a distress signal that will take you right to one
also a settlement mission in the same place

My plan:
%100 vanilla on PS4. Learn everything then new PC next year with mods.
Will be GLORIOUS to see how many mods will be out by next year. It'll be like Fallout 4.5 rofl

I agree. I really like how the map feels in this game, especially compared to Fallout 3. I never felt like there was a true "urban" area in 3, and DC proper didn't feel too much different from the rest of the world. The subways felt very same-y and cities/town areas felt like typical game towns where the inhabitants were basically there to service the player. But in 4, exploring Boston proper feels very different from exploring the outer reaches of the map due to the verticality of locations and just how densely packed the area is. And Diamond City feels like it exists as an ecosystem without the player's involvement.
