Fallout 4

I might miss kb&m for headshot accuracy (I love sneak headshots) but we'll see.

Some shots of Concord:

Definitely harder, I've basically got to Diamond City tonight, making my way through boston zig zagging to avoid raiders. My thoughts of, well there's only 4 of them and I've got a few 10mm rounds, and some .38s and there's always the shotgun have been met with death. New Vegas had loads of friendlies and there's very few so far in this, which is more like 3 but it seems much harder. Still, I've bought some .308 rounds for my sniper rifle and a fusion core so I might grab the power armour for a go at a mission... or I might spend tomorrow building more at Sanctuary cos I got a new settler :D I dunno if you only find settlers that way or if people randomly go into your places as well? There's what looks like a size up bar on the top right of the workshop screen but I've no idea how that works. Awesome game, I'm totally hooked, unsurprisingly, I should of stopped playing an hour ago, but of course I had to have a little look around Diamond city before I went to bed... an hour later :facepalm: :D
 
Just got to Diamond City too. 'Twas a long walk and hard work. 2 bobbleheads, laser rifle and sniper rifle, but no flamer and no combat shotty (a personal fave).
 
Good grief, Steam tells me I have played for 36 hours :eek:

I got some of the way through the main quest but have decided to concentrate on side quests and settlements for a while. I wanted to see where the main quest was going, but decided I had to put the brakes on as I was in danger of rushing through it. I'm liking a lot of the quests, it's not quite FONV, but there's some stuff in there that is a bit different and interesting. I have so many active quests right now that it's making my head spin.
 
i was making my way to diamond city , but then my fusion core ran out, so have had to leave my power armour.

I turned around and decided to fast travel back to sanctuary and rummage around some more , all in all im enjoying it
 
I keep on getting done over by bloody feral ghouls (sp.?) and considering how easy they were in the previous games, I'm feeling a bit inferior right now
 
I'm loving the way feral ghouls swarm at you. You at shoot this one lone ghoul and suddenly you have 5 coming at you from nowhere.

If you fast travel in power armour presumably your core gets depleted as well?
 
I found the core drain to be minimal when fast travelling.

Am up to level 11 and am starting to find it's getting harder - aside from a couple of scrapes it hasn't been too challenging.

Maybe my high intelligence is helping me along the way? :D I haven't found a laser rifle or many bobble heads though :(

Yeah I think I died just as much early on in F3 as I have in this one. Just wandering around and getting killed by some critter you'd one-shot later in the game.

Christ I got killed so many times trying to take back Primm from a bunch of reject powder gangers...

What do bobble heads do? And is there they same silly skew in SPECIAL making high intel over powered.
 
Slowing my progress down in game as I broke level 20 nor long ago. Quests are all great, especially one that's in the town of Goodneighbour :D
 
A few things:
You can still walk/fight/shoot in the power armor when the battery runs out. And it still seems to carry more stuff.
Ghouls seem easier to kill by hand when up close.
You really do need to pick up everything.

+1 to a stat (specific stat to each bobblehead you don't get to choose)
Intelligence isn't as overpowered, it means you get more XP but I don't know how much it increases it, I've whacked intelligence up high anyway

Same as F3 then.

ah better, in 3 & NV it gave you extra skill points at the start and (I think) as you levelled meaning it made sense to max out int above all other stats. Essentially meaning the wasteland had a massive MENSA chapter.

I went with high luck, semi-high intelligence, okayish agility and perception, a bit in charisma and endurance, and poor old strength only has 1.

I'm always absolutely shit working out what stats are best.

Anyway, I like sneaking, so sneak was my first perk. I got round Concord's museum (it's a museum right?) mostly in stealth, headshotted everyone before they saw me.

Not as easy to be a stealth character when you're tasked with bringing down a cunting deathclaw. I died.

Someone on the internet told me that there is a sub-species of deathclaw with 'chameleon' in its name. It can utilise a stealth field.

HAHAHA.
 
I also love ramping up the survival horror vibe.

I use ReShade or SweetFX or ENB in these games, and it means you can control how atmospheric things are. In FONV I remember going around the RepCon facility for the first time and thinking it was some of the scariest shit ever. But then, my ENB was so crazy dark in the shadows, it was essentially pitch black in some areas, and all I could hear were the noises of those ghouls, not knowing where they were... It was amazing.

The ambient music in FO4 is fantastic at helping create that atmosphere, and since I have really deep shadows in my current config, even just going round the museum was great fun. Crouched down, creeping round each corner not knowing what I'd find. And god, those mannequins everywhere in town are amazing. The Speak-Easy was great - when I turned around and saw them all around the bath it gave me a fright.
 
Oh I could never have strength at 1. I am way to much of a pack rat. I always end up taking every conceivable perk about carry capacity (particularly over encumbered fast travel)
 
Not going to lie, I smashed my endurance up to eight for the cannibal perk.

Just dont do that in front of anyone people don't seem to like it
 
Im just out the Vult trying to kill that Dinosaur thing. I need Bullets!! Where can i find bullets!!
