Fallout 4

If even this thread has gone quiet I can't imagine what attention people's families are getting.

I'm contemplating delaying my girlfriend come to stay by a day so I have another chance to play it. Visiting my parents and contemplated bring the playstation, but figured it wouldn't be appreciated. :oops:
 
There are cats in the game. I do not believe you can have a cat. This cat lives at the little pylon farm with the Abernathy family.

Well.

Cats have 9 lives.

Maisie has 8 left.

(One bonus of Bethesda reusing the same engine, it means all the old console commands still work.)

YOU LIVE TO CATCH MICE ANOTHER DAY, MAISIE.
 
I got a silenced pistol
from one of the railroad quests
that is devastating. 49 damage or someting like that, and I get about 10 shots off in vats.
 
I reloaded the game to a point where i got some power armour, took it to the garage and parked it to keep it safe ( removing power core of course ).

Been getting the minutemen up and going but am finding the quests a little boring, except for the castle one , so ive gone and joined the brotherhood of steel
 
I met Piper last night. Has there been a Bethesda game with that level of emotion and animation before? For all the shit they're getting over FO4, that right there is a huge leap forward for them, even if they are still constrained by the same engine.

I've been following the minute man line because of the settlement stuff and did the first two castle missions yesterday. The first one was Rock hard, dunno if I wasn't supposed to get there yet but
mirelurk queen and 2 legendary mirelurks, took me loads of retries and eventually worked it so preston and the other minutemen took it the queen whilst I bravely ran from the legendary mirelurks. Once they killed the queen I got access to the workshop, and realised I could whack down some gun turrets but they got killed very quickly, followed by my death. Then saw the shack in the middle of the courtyard and built some steps up there, scrapping them as soon as I was up so the mirelurk couldn't follow :D

Fantastic game so far, preston is my companion, piper annoys me and I'm not going with the brotherhood (yet/in this game) so I can complete the minutemen missions and fully explore the settlement building stuff.

I also hope the modding community gets into settlement building and can sort out some of the things that limit it fur me, and/or that bethesda team up with paradox or someone to make a full on city building/resource management game set in the fallout world.
 
Ugh - I've spent a couple of days with a virus, most of that time curled up in bed in a foetal position groaning, am now just about able to sit up and play without feeling as though I am about to keel over.

Looking at my game I feel as though I may have buggered up my supply lines (probably while in a feverish state on Saturday morning). Has anyone worked out a good way of running supply lines yet? So badly need some modded way of managing settlers and supplies.

EDIT: I just read an excellent suggestion elsewhere regarding settler management - collect all the hats/glasses that you find in the game, and have every settler that you have assigned to a task equip a particular style of hat/glasses so you can tell that you have assigned them to a particular role - it's not ideal, but it's a great idea and one I will be using it from now on.

I built a lovely modest settlement by the drive in, then was killed by a hidden bomb. When it reloaded my settlement was gone, but so was all the resources i'd used to build it too :mad:
 
Killed 10 super mutants in 10 minutes without power armor. Including a legendary one. A personal best I think. Was a fluke but as there was no death gotta keep it in my game line! The legendary one must have taken 5 frag grenades and 70 shots.
 
AAARGGHH - just realised that you can't build crafting stations in Home Plate - what is the point of having a central home base if you can't build even a stove or somewhere to mod your weapons there? Buggeration, it's just a fancy display area then, poo :(

(That is on my 'mods to look out for next year' list) :(

I wanted to use that as my private home base as it doesn't get attacked and you don't arrive home late at night to find some bloody settler has nicked your bed! I guess I just need to find somewhere else, recruit 1 settler, and put them on a supply route so I can access shared junk.
 
Hmm, thanks for that discovery. I will continue stockpiling caps and not fork out for a room/ flat in Diamond City!
 
It's annoying about Home Plate. I guess because there are all the work stations just outside they thought you wouldn't need it, but you have to go through loading screens to get there, and they can't access your storage in the workshop. Still, I'm glad I've got a place there for Dogmeat/other companions to go when I'm not using them. I plan on Diamond City being my hub while I'm doing random little quests in the area.

Unfortunately you can't send companions there either :(
 
I just completed the Cambridge Labs Clean Room quest type thing. I have to admit that was a fun well written little episode with a shiny nice prize worth having at the end of it. Not forgetting the hazmat suit i found too. 1000 rad resist, that will come in useful!
