Dammit not sure when but i somehow sold my modified double barrelled shotgun, my one shot feral ghoul stopper.

You met a radscorpion when a) the hardest hitting weapon you had was a double barrelled shotgun and b) you'd lost it? Ouch... :D

No I'd just picked up a syth laser. The double barrelled shotgun is my preferred feral ghoul killer
 
I find myself using grenades a LOT more in this game than in previous ones. They seem more useful and less likely to end up in the wrong place. Mind you in FO3 and NV I never bothered putting many points in explosives, so maybe it is the changes to the perk system that is working differently here.

Yeah nades before used to roll and roll and roll and take ages to go off. They have it about right this time.

Ah yes that makes sense! Overall the physics seems a bit less touchy in FO4 - not that it doesn't still have its moments, but that (along with a faster detonation time) would be a big factor in grenades being useful. I'm finding them really fun to use in this game, I never leave home without a pile of grenades. Not a good idea to use them in settlement fights though!

Earlier tonight I threw one through a window into a room, it exploded and a raider died. It felt satisfying real.

Had a bloody tough fight with some raiders on my way into diamond city including a legendary raider and one with power armour. The one with power armour died & fell into the river but the current swept his body away before I could loot the fusion core ( I know the current swept him away because another raiders body got caught on the bridge strut and I could loot his body.

Very nice touch.

And you're right there's no way I've got through that without grenades. In NV the only grenades I really bothered with the emp grenades, they were just too slow and messy. Plus in f4 if your grenade misses and lands in the water you get a massive underwater explosion and a lovely sound effect.,

Huh - apparently you can use html tags when renaming weapons or armour at the appropriate workbench. I did not know that, and will try it. Making the names of stuff you want to keep in bold text or italics seems like a decent way to remind yourself not to accidentally scrap something!

Anyone seen any good PS4 + Fallout bundles. Mr.QofG's and I are considering this is a Christmas present to ourselves. Because obviously with a small child having just moved in we need to spend money on a new games system.....no really, we do :D

I'd hang on until the black friday deals at the end of next week.
 
It'll likely be Monday before I play again. Pity me.

I've just met Piper and entered Diamond City (at 2:45 last night.)

All my settlements are under defended and how do I set up supply lines between settlements. Oh and what's with the robot professor goodfeel!

Oh good to know. I found a combat shotgun which means I guess gear is levelling up. Keep your institute pistols and BOS laser rifles nothing like a good automatic shotgun.

It will till Thursday for me and I think I will be lucky to get 4 hours in the 7 days I have off. At this rate the game is going to last a long time,
 
On the subject of raiders and power armour.

If you can kill a raider before they hear you and run off to climb into their power armour... You can then pinch the power armour frame. If they use the armour though you can only loot the parts.
 
When renaming weapons I want to keep, I put 'A' at the beginning, that way it goes to the top of the list and all my stuff has the same naming convention, making it easy to see when I glance in there.

Actually, my character's name is Stella, so I'm naming everything like: A Stella 10mm Pistol, A Stella .50 Rifle, etc. No need for the Stella, but I like it.
 
That, incidentally, is the same thing I do with folders and files on my computer, put things at the beginning to order them, or use all caps to make them stand out.

For example, when I'm going through my screenshots in my ReShade folder, I put a 0 at the beginning of the file name of the ones I want to keep or upload. Then they're easy to find in FastStone Image Resizer (I resize and change them to jpg for tumblr because they have MB restrictions; I keep the full size png for flickr).

In my main Screenshots folder I have all my tools in a folder called 00 TOOLS so it always stays at the top of the list.

My digital life is so much more organised than my organic one.
 
I spent some proper time last night using the pip-boy app for all my pip-boy needs. It works really well for everything except when in battle, because the game pauses when you bring up your pip-boy in the game, giving you time to grab a stimpak or change your gun, but when you do it in the app it doesn't bring it up to your face in the game, stuff just happens, so no pausing and it's a bit fiddly trying to do it quickly.

But I really do like using it for other things. Having the map open when I'm exploring is really great, because it updates constantly in real time to show where you are, which way you're pointing, if you're going the right way. Local maps keep throwing out an error at me though, I don't know if that's a bug or it's not set up for the local map, but it has the button for it so idk.

If I close my game while the app is open, I get an error box, something about a virtual crash or error. I guess you have to close the app first.
 
Pfft, I've stopped using the app now. It was causing my ReShade config to keep recompiling certain shaders, in particular the ssao shader, so whenever I moved the camera the ssao would disappear then come back again. It was really annoying!
 
I want to try the app on my tablet because inventory management on a console is a faff and a half even renaming stuff is a chore.


Sigh. I think I'm in withdrawal.
 
This has to be one of the most frightening and disturbing scenes I have ever encountered in a game:
