Fallout 4

[ruffneck23]

youre definitely female lol

 

[ohmyliver]

game's arrived from Game. It's now installing. My wife has sent me a screenshot of it installing, and called me a wierdo . Hopefully it will be ready to go when I get in this evening, despite our shitty internet connection.

 

[ruffneck23]

its about a 23gb d/load on pc, not sure if there is a day one patch as i was asleep as it finished downloading

 

[ohmyliver]

it's on a dvd, so I presume even with decent amount of compression of assets it's still got to get a fair bit to get.

youre definitely female lol

I spent a lot of time in Skyrim doing interior design and I thought Skyrim was boring

 

[Epona]

Ugh

 

[ruffneck23]

Ugh

i know im sorry , it was a joke

admittedly a shit one

 

[ruffneck23]

anyway back to fallout, the last thing i did was leave the vault this morning, so far so good.

Anyone put hours in so far ?

 

[Epona]

I'm currently extremely confused about armour.

Some of it seems to be like a whole outfit (similar to FO3/NV armour where it was 1 item doing the job), and then I go out and fight raiders and collect bits of armour that are separate. The fact that I cannot see my character when I am trying out different armour is possibly the most annoying thing in the game. I put on some new stuff and realised after about an hour that I was basically wearing underwear with armour on my legs and arms

Well I overslept by 4 hours so only just woke up. Console version is still good. Buggy at times though.

 

[ruffneck23]

pc is buggy too, but its a fallout game, i kinda expect it

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

My copy doesn't arrive till this afternoon

At least we'll probably get unofficial patches

 

[Tony_LeaS]

Only disappointment (bugs on first week dont count of course) is that you wasn't in the vault for long. Definitely interesting way to open up the game though.

My Pip-Boy edition arrived. Ben (my DPD driver) said they'd got a shit ton of them in the depot today. "What is it, the new Call of Duty or something?" Pfft, mortals.

Ben's really hot.

 

[ruffneck23]

ive got the pip boy app in my phone but i wasnt going to try and use it at 6.40am

 

[Vintage Paw]

I love the little Pip-Boy Operational Instructions book that comes with it. All written like a proper Pip-Boy manual, and any references to our real world stay in character.

"Be certain to store any unused items for future use or trading. If you are sent into the Wasteland, commonplace items such as foam or bits of plastic may be of hidden value."

Looks like an ENB binary is incoming. And people are using extreme ugrids and other ini tweaks with few problems. Looks like you can eke out more quality from it on more hardware than they suggested.

Mine's installing. SLOOOOOOOOOWLY.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Console commands for Skyrim, many work in FO4, if that's your thing.

'#?

^ That was Peggy's input as she just walked across my keyboard. Thought you'd want to know.

Hopefully mine will be at home when I get back.

But I won't be able to play it until Thursday cos the mother-in-law is staying.

I am 43.

Bobby pin and a small room you know the drill

I walked into GameStop and left without a ps4 or fallout 4. Will. Of. Iron.

 

[sim667]

Im kind of tempted by fallout 4, but I've never played the previous ones....... I don't know if Ill like it.

I do love dystopian shit though.

 

[8den]

You'll love fallout then. dystopian but with the occasional ray gun, mutant giant insects, and a nifty 50s soundtrack

Have you played any Bethesda game?

I don't like the colour of brown they chose, but the manual clearly states it's the best colour for deflecting threats in the Wasteland, so...

It has a battery inside that powers two little lights that come on when you press the power switch.

It's nicely padded in the middle so it won't hurt your wrist, and there's a strap you can tighten or loosen to keep it secure.

There are various foam inserts to hold different sizes of phone.

The clasp holding it closed seems to be metal, I think. The rest is cheap plastic, as expected... still, you hold out hope for metal, right? It'd be really heavy if it was metal, of course.

It comes on a stand with a little plaque. And it all comes in a massive Vault-Tec case that is probably the size of some people's PC towers. The disc comes in a metal case, with a Vault Dweller's Survival Guide (Condensed Edition), and a full Pip-Boy Operational Instruction Manual. There's also a poster with all the perks.

Still in demo mode because I haven't started the game yet.

Also, another list of console codes/cheats.

Nothing beats Fallout with classical music.
