Proper break this time
Yep, FO4 fair bit easier imo, although ghouls ramp it up a bit. I mean the 10mm pistol is a nice weapon and it's pretty much the first you get. Also I remember stumbling into things like radscorpions early in FO3 and just watching them absorb bullet after bullet as they scuttled towards me.

No I'm pretty sure that was 8ball...
Hmm, I guess my character is 'stealthy charmer'. Which sounds a bit creepy
Royphnol wooher any better?
Oh did you know that Codsworth has about 1000 player character names that he can actually say? Took me a while before I realised that he was referring to me by name in dialogue
Indeed

Slightly immature but I laughed quite hard

I went through the list the day before release and wrote down some of the names I liked. Then when I made my character, I decided which one from the list suited her.
She's called Stella.

Not getting a strong sense that my mates are loving this game. Lots of 'yeah it's good' but no real excitement or attempts to persuade me to buy it...

It's getting a lot of grumpy reactions from various people. Which is weird, because in the small little circles I frequent (here, flickr, tumblr) everyone I know seems to love it.

That is absolutely wonderful. I have to find it.
Friend who has never touched a Fallout game except this one has said to me he's found a cap glitch where he can get all items without a vendor and not spend a penny (not just bartering actually getting everything). He then went "this makes the game so much more fun!"
No, no it really doesnt.

It depends on your point of view, surely? That's just the same as using a cheat code really. If you don't fancy scavenging, it's another way of doing it

Fallout IS about scavenging and scrounging. Starting off with infinite caps Is like playing mortal combat with invulnerability and a cheat that makes every punch a finishing move
It is to the extent, but at the same time I feel like Fallout is all about that resources are scarce, money doesnt grow on trees (literally
) and you have to do anything to survive. I will admit in the last few months I downloaded the terminal cheat menu on FNV to see what's on offer, but that's after ive done everything. I'll probably do the same for this one, but once I feel there isnt much I can do for now.

It's about shooting mutants to me. People get different things from it. Some like scavenging, some like taking photos of their games, some just want to go on a killing spree.

I think other games do this a lot better.

Not in my limited experience. Far Cry and Read Dead Redemption are contenders, but they're not set in a post apocalyptic world.

Because they both have the exact same narrative content.

Being a bit glitchy fire me this evening, so thought I'd turn it all off and on again... And Windows decides to do some massive update argh
I don't like it that guns don't get damaged through use anymore, I loved that little feature of the world and how you scavenge all the guns you can just to keep one in working order.
Still fantastic though, nearly done the mission at the corvega factory, stumbled on a cheeky entrance so didn't do the snipering as planned, just got to fight my way back out now

OK so on this character I have concentrated more on the settlement side of things - the PipBoy seriously needs a tab for comparing settlement stats as I now have around 10 and it's hard to tell where I need to go and build what, and whether I need to turn off a recruitment beacon somewhere while I sort out more beds or whathaveyou.
If anyone comes across a mod that adds that sort of tab to the PipBoy, please let me know!
(EDIT to add: I am in heaven tbh, after RPGs my second gaming love is city builders/resource management genre - this manages to combine one of my favourite RPGs with a solid basic city builder type thing, I am like a pig in clover)

OMFG, if you find yourself near Easy City Downs racecourse, please just stand by the track and watch what is going on - hilarious!

Are you within the "dome" buildable area marked in green when in the workbench menu? Ground flat enough? Scrapped everything that might be in the way? I've done some prefab stuff with no problem. Some stuff is unlocked by magazines that you collect, and some stuff like more complex turrets/power stuff requires certain perk levels, but you should be able to build the basic prefab shacks or building parts without issue.
EDIT: Have you built and placed other stuff like furniture before so you know the basics of how the workbench works? Such as open the workbench menu then walk to where you want to place the item so it is in the right place before building, you don't build it then place it later (although you can move/rotate stuff once built)
