Fallout 4

Go to where the tour bot was (near park street station) and follow the red line on the floor...

Doh...

 

[ruffneck23]

its ok mate i couldnt find it either, just yesterday someone at work told me the same thing about the red line

 

[Whagwan]

I was stupid enough to kill the tour bot myself and then had to look up how to do the mission!

I was about to start the quest like two weeks ago switched on the tour bot and this behemoth supermutant came at. I actually killed the behemoth (by heroically ducking down an ally letting my companion soak up the damage and taking pot shots at it) and then found the bot destroy and thought "well that's shit"

It's probably one of those things that seems a whole lot more obvious if you know what the freedom trail is in real life

The Freedom Trail

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

I did the silver shroud quest last night. Mainly because I was sick of carrying that outfit around. Pandering to Kents delusion was annoying for some reason.

I thought that one was great.

Although I did kind of think 'I've just blown the heads off about 40 people to keep this guy happy...'

And the irl wikipedia page has some photos which show just what you have to look out for, which may help:

To be honest Kent just annoyed me. And what REALLY hacked me off was I couldn't drop the silver shadow armour while the quest was open. It weighs 7. That's like 7 desktop fans for fucks sake!

God once again I am in dire need of an intervention to fix my hoarding problem.

 

[ruffneck23]

its good armor though isnt it ? ive still got mine on under my power armor

The good news is that usually in Fallout/Elder Scrolls, quest gear has 0 weight (regardless of what it says in the UI) until the quest is finished and you can choose to drop it.

No because I can't wear my combat armour pieces over the shroud outfit. All of which are deep pocketed giving me a massive carry bonus. And most of them are legendary I think I have plus +1 s +3 end, +2 luck and automatic slow time when my health is at 25% which had saved my bacon so many times,...

I never knew that. Crap...

Is there anyway to check how many hours you've played, in real times likes?

 

[D'wards]

In the comic book studio thing i turned on some static tester radio thing, that plagues me whenever i'm in the city. Always mean to go back and turn it off but get distracted by the mission i'm on

You know you can change what radio station you listen to on using your pip boy right?

 

[8den]

In stats and in your save game file. I think it's for the best you don't look. Id say I've done at least 24 hrs in the last month. Probably a lot more

Next to your save it tells you in days, hours, minutes. This is in-game, on the save screen. It doesn't mean game days, it means days you've been playing.

*cough*over5days*cough*

If you're on PC, Steam will keep track as well.

 

[Vintage Paw]

How long has passed for you all in-game? It's January for me now, I think (the game starts in October). I try to sleep semi-regularly, but sometimes that's just for an hour for the XP bonus. If I'm travelling on foot I'll sometimes sleep through the night so I can travel in daylight.

 

[8den]

Oh I did the Salem witch quest thing. And ridiculously gave the egg back. But was so paranoia I wasted three stealth boys doing so. There's a shot up settlement near by

Spoiler

loads of raiders including a legendary one, but if you go to the top of the round tower and switch on the alarm it brings out s bunch of death claws including an alpha. Watch them slaughter the raiders and then drop bottle cap mines from the tower to kill the claws . Marvellous.

Five days and your in still only level 30ish?

Yeah actually doing the maths I'm probably closer to 48hrs. That's a guess, I'm frightened to look, it's like working out how many units of alcohol you drink a week in front of your doctor.

When i turned off the radio it was still there.

I like to listen to podcasts as i play, in the non-dialogue and fannying about in settlement bits, so only use radio when its part of the mission...

Yes, I'm exactly level 30. I really don't know how I manage it.

There's a art to having over a 120 hours of game play and still only being level 30. Like an anti "power gamer"

I now have 14GB of backed up saves. I'm too paranoid to get rid of them all. I'll probably start going back and getting rid of most of the very early ones.

This explains were the 5 days went. I can't criticise I regularly had to delete NV saved game files. I have a new (ish) ps4 and have only played F4 on it, how long till I fill the 500 gig hard drive

Not sure if this is still a 'thing' (I'm still paranoid about it nonetheless), but in some Bethesda games of old, having a lot of saves in your folder could contribute to save file corruption - I try to keep my saves folder relatively clear but just by regularly moving old saves into a different folder somewhere. I also have separate folders where I keep copies of any saves made before important story decisions (and the one before you leave the vault where you have a chance to redo your character without having to do the prologue again), so I can easily find important saves if I want to go back to them.

It's about the only thing in my life where I have shown basic organisational skills

 

[Vintage Paw]

Anyone else getting some bullshit blanking out stuff on the Fallout wiki? It blanks out all the text and prompts you to take a survey (some adsense bullshit no doubt). You can click to skip and it'll un-blank the text. But now I've gone there and there's no fucking survey thing to skip at all, just blanked out text. Annoying fucking wank.

This is why I back them up. They are not in my save folder.

Certainly in Skyrim, saving over an old save also could introduce file corruption. Fresh save every time, no quicksaves, no relying on autosaves.

YES, but only today, and on The Witcher wiki as that is what I have been playing today. Was thinking I may have to update my adblocker and/or check for malware/adware on my PC, interesting then that you're experiencing it too on the Fallout site.
