10 Hours In:

Finally found some framedrops, nothing crazy though.

Game is even more engaging than 5 hours ago. It's hard to complete quests because I'm constantly getting sidetracked... that probably won't last of course but for now it's giving me the itch to play and play and play.

Mostly though, fuck Dogmeat. Fuuuuuuck Dogmeat. Stay the fuck out of my way you stupid dog.

Oh!

Edit:

Remote play is great. I love when Devs actually give a shit about re-arranging the controls for Remote Play.
 
How die I place other Power Armors ?
All I can do is transfer them into the Armor Stand but I can not put them on for example - it tells me I need to be in a Power Armor to wear that :-/
 
This bug ruinned the game for me fuck this. I went into the middle of diamond city attacked a person and the whole city was upon me and they couldn't kill me everytime I dropped to 0 hp boom full hp again fuck this game.
 
Bout to head home and want to give it one more shot before I abandon this place, so if anyone knows the answer I would love some help (very early side area spoilers, no story):

In the Satellite dish facility near to Tenpines Bluff, there is a terminal in the center that isn't supposed to be hacked, but has a few options that say "Offline" and says only "authorized peronnel" can connect. Anyone know how to solve it? I've explored the whole facility pretty thoroughly...
Anyone? :'[ what a mystery.
 
Can I dump all my crafting crap at a bench safely? I read something about raiders being able to steal things (like Power Armor). I'm packrating like usual, but it would nice to have a safe stash.

This is a very weird one... Tried to kill yourself or something with multiple grenades?

Is there a key? I know there's a mission in the dish to
get a locket.

If you already opened the doors however, there's nothing else you can do with it. There's 2 terminals connecting to the same door, so it's possible you found the other terminal? They both have the same text/function.
 
I like it how the Dualshock light changes color from blue to green when you turn the flashlight on or to yellow when you enter the power armor, it's a nice touch.
Yeah, that was what made me notice it as I was outside in the middle of a sunny day.
 
I hope Bethesda keeps expanding the settlement stuff so that this game eventually becomes Fallout: Skylines. And throw some Civilization n there too and start letting me set up research plants and wage wars.
 
I'm considering biting the bullet and picking this game up. I've never really been interested in the Fallout series but I'm from Boston and all the hype got me playing Fallout 3. Honestly, I'm enjoying it a lot more than I expected, coming from somebody who doesn't usually enjoy post apocalyptic type games. That being said F3 still feels pretty dated to me even with mods. I think it's because I've dumped so many hours into Skyrim, F3 feels like Oblivion is to Skyrim.

So, worth picking up at its full price right now or should I stick with F3 and maybe wait for a sale? I feel like the discount isn't gonna be anything huge by the thanksgiving or winter steam sale. Even though I am still into F3 I'm only considering it now because I feel like Boston will connect with me a lot more than the DC area.
 
Question about the idiot savant perk - I'm trying something where I'm quick saving before turning a quest in. The thinking being assuming idiot savant is a dice roll action, I can manipulate the rng to get bonus xp -but I don't know if that's how this works. My testing hasn't triggered the perk yet l, so I'm likely doing something wrong

F4 is F3 :V

Continue with 3 -> NV->4

I mean, if you can go forward but not backwards....

(tbh oblivion/fallout 3>skyrim/fallout 4 to me so far)
 
I'm about to pick this up in a few. So what's the impressions so far on the Xbox one version? Digital foundry videos got me alittle hesitant. But it's Xbox one or nothing for me as of now till I get a decent gaming pc.
 
Dogmeat works with the Lone Wanderer perk for me. Any other companion doesn't though.

This is good to hear. Found a scarf and goggles for dogmeat last night, he looks and acts ridiculous but I want to keep him around for as long as I can.

There's actual dog armor as well!

Discounts probably won't be too impressive for a while. It was the same with Skyrim. I highly recommend, at least on PC.
 
Think I might start using XBO controller on PC. At least for certain stuff; I'd still prefer kb/m for movement and shooting. I hope they revisit kb/m controls with a patch and at least add more mapping options.

If it's similar to the PS4 version (and reports are it's about equal) then it's the best launch state for a Bethesda game I've ever experienced, despite its problems. People saying "nothing's changed/improved" are - simply - talking shit.

If you played any Bethesda game on 360 then Fallout 4 is currently in a better state than them. I'm having a great time with it.
 
Is there an easy way to get resources without dropping items like aluminum cans and hitting scrap? Its dumb you pick up all this stuff in the world and only transfer the junk with no way to convert it to resources.....I just have missed something lol
 
Apparently there's no option to swap shoulder view from left to right. For some reason this really annoys me when playing in 3rd person.

You don't have to scrap the items the resources come from. Theyll be automatically scrapped at work benches etc. For example if you need screws, you don't have to dismantle a desk fan first, when you go to make your gun mod it will auto-scrap and use the screws from the desk fan.
 
Jesus, I keep getting stuck in the elevator on my way to the Trinity Tower quest. So is that just fucked for now or should I keep loading and trying?
 
Ghouls are fucking op.

Bumrush me and fuck up my shit all the time. I kinda like that they are an actually threat instead of walking bloody mess explosions but another part of me thinks they are too strong.

Oh shit.....that's nice lol

Thanks
 
I'm officially dumping that dog the first chance I get. "You dog is in trouble," yeah no shit if he keeps running head-first into enemies even if I try to be sneaky.
 
Actually, are you sure it's next to it? The only thing I can find there is a security door but the key is for a safe

The key doesn't go to that door. If there is a key for that security door I never found one.

The safe the key goes to is
directly under the catwalk Jared was standing on. There's a board against the wall that says "KEEP OUT", which is covering the safe.

I've read / heard too many stories about him disappearing forever so I'm not sure I can trust him holding my shit anymore...
