Fallout 4

Re Rock star, their games are slicker, but I find them to be very shallow. In that outside of the story missions everything feels completely generic. I loved red dead redemption though, but didn't like GTA4 (give me Saint's Row instead in all its over the top taking the piss out of GTA anyday).

I'm currently trying to romance Piper, as I really want her perk. On level 25 now, alternating between the BoS lazer rifle, a combat shotgun, a unique don't have to reload revolver, and a 44 snub nosed revolver.

I've got the breath under water/take no rads from swimming perk, but have yet to find anything that makes it a good pick, ho hum.
 
All my romance conversations with Piper happened in one go. On a mission with Deacon standing there looking awkward.
 
Found a bayonetted missile launcher :D something's gone wrong if you're bayonetting someone with a missile launcher... I've only had a snatched hour at a time for the last week or so but have today and tomorrow off work so thought I'd get back into the missions but obviously the first place I came across whilst heading towards my target I got distracted... now level 19 and a .45 large capacity, quick eject rifle is my weapon of choice, followed by a combat shotgun. Need to mod my sniper rifle to take .50 cal I think as I've not found any .50 weapons, also not found any .44 so need to mod something to get that as well?
 
You get a .44 as part of a quest in the main story, reasonably early on. It's worth doing some of the stuff around Diamond City relating to the main story, and probably stopping when you've done the bit at Goodneighbour. I don't know how long the main story is, but after Goodneighbour feels like a natural stopping point if you want to go and explore for a while, but gives you a nice chunk of main story to make you feel grounded and involved.
 
I'm on the one where you have to go rescue the detective. Hard as nails when my best weapons are a short shotgun and hunting rifle. May have to do some side quests after this one.

Do you think the brotherhood of steel or minute men ones are more fun/productive?

A US Marine general after witnessing a test of the 1st flamethrower said "how'd stick a bayonet on it"


I got bored with the Minutemen stuff after starting a few settlements. Plus the main quest was pulling me. Seems wrong to be building out houses when Shaun is still missing
 
I haven't really done anything for either the BoS or Minutemen yet, other than the very first quest when you go to ArcJet with Danse, and the initial Tenpines Bluff stuff for Garvey. I suspect the BoS stuff will have more nice linkages to the main story themes, and I personally find them fathoms more interesting than the Minutemen, but the Minutemen stuff is good if you're going to be into your settlements. So far I've done very little settlement stuff. I've got a few more crops, set up a bit of a guard post, a little bit of electricity, but that's it. I'm more interested in conserving my materials for weapons and armour than I am walls and generators, but that might change as I get over the hump (I believe there is a hump, after which point you are rock hard, have plenty of caps and ammo, and won't need to worry about much killing you other than Mirelurk Queens perhaps).

I'm really grumpy that I spoiled myself about a BoS thing. Completely inadvertently. I only wanted to look up the companions list to see how many I still had to meet. I don't consider the names and locations of future companions spoilers, btw. It was something else. :mad:

Do spoilers matter in a game? I'm reading this thread and haven't played it yet. Not fussed about reading what might happen. Enjoying it in fact

Well yeah I play games for the story. Also in fallout the game is incredibly open ended so a decision to go one direction or side with one faction means that conceivably parts of the game are opened to you it closed to you

Um big chunk of loot in the 1st paragraph

Oh, you mean small, inconsequential bits rather than story line spoilers? Oh, in that case, there are. It also tells you things about gameplay that you have to actually play the game to realise what they are talking about. So I guess they are spoilers too.
 
Spoilers? Its an immersion thing for me, and if I have to find out everything myself then that is increased.

You can write an article talking about game play without revealing spoilers.

I was taking the piss :)

The article doesn't have any storyline spoilers as far as I could see. For example, it doesn't reveal that his son, Shaun, is now a legendary ghoul who rules a vast soft play kingdom from which he commands an army of sex-mad synths. Or something like that.
 
I know I read it and now I know about a decent loot dash just when I'm about to walk into diamond city. And I've tried to be good about spoilers

I have a sniper that never needs reloading. If you have 456 bullets then thats the magazine size 456. I converted it to .50cal and i still don't rate it.

Aim, hold breath, BOOOM, head shot x2 sneak attack, recoil, chamber next round, Oh look, oh he is still alive, now he is running all about the place, aim, hold breath, BOOM, miss, recoil, chamber next round, look, Aim, hold breath, He's gone behind something, release breath, hold breath, release breath, hold breath, there he is BOOOM, Chest shot, , recoil, chamber next round, look, really he is still alive? aim, hold breath, BOOM, miss, grrrr!

Instead i have a assault rifle i like to use for long range now. Medium scope. Aim, pop, pop, pop, pop. Dead before he moves.

To some people they do. Same for any narrative-based media.

Fair dos. I don't think I'm a proper gamer. I don't think I've ever come across a decent story that I've cared about. Get impatient with most cutscenes. Want them to get to the point and just tell me who the fuck to kill next.
 
Wooo, found my first (non-Concord) deathclaw. I knew I could hear the fucker. It was hiding.

I threw down a bottlecap mine along the path between it and me, then threw a grenade at where it was hiding, it came out with part of its health missing, and ran straight into the bottlecap mine. I threw another grenade for good measure. Dead. HUZZAH.
