Make sure you install all the high hd graphic mods that come out on the console, then go get some eggs and you can make breakfast on the console.

Then at one point it will catch fire, and you most likely will never be able to sex the dog.

They didn't say most mods and I'm sure it won't be most of them. Probably a small curated selection. And only on xbone, to start with. PS4 mods aren't confirmed yet, but they will work on it.

If console mods factor heavily into your decision I think it would be best to wait just a little bit to see how well the whole thing works and also what kind of selection is available. I think there are a lot of question marks about the whole thing as of now.

As much as I really can't wait to get my hands on this game tbh I wouldn't mind if the release was pushed to early 2016 if it means giving them more time to play test and polish.

Of course I'm sure someone would try to bomb their offices if they did that so whatever.

That's the button to "reconnect" the signal to your `bone or controller adapter if for some reason it's not recognized but well within range, it'll just reconnect with the console/adapter's ID. Sorry to kill the surprise.

This does help, thanks! I've missed that edition so many times I didn't even check.


I don't usually get strategy guides, but the original Fallout 1 & 2 manuals were awesome, I still have both somewhere. I think they were spiral bound too, which works well for a guide. I think I'll cancel the order for this anyway since I got a PC pip boy edition.
The fallout 1 & 2 manuals should be used in WRI 227 classes when demonstrating how to write engaging and informative content for a targeted audience. They're exceptional examples of 90s-era game manuals of course, but they also are engrossing enough that someone can spend hours reading them without actually intending to pore through them to learn about game mechanics. Imagine if your car's manual was so good that you sat in the parking lot for an extra 20 minutes chuckling and learning about how your air system buttons work.

RAM is pretty cheap. I'm interested to see if I'll be able to run this pile myself; I tried the demos for Dying Light and Evil Within on lowest settings and they were choppy but playable even though I have no graphics card to speak of. Plus after launch there'll probably be performance enhancing mods like the ones for New Vegas which remove trash piles and grass.

The 10 Luck + Jinxed trait were good fun in the first two games, though it did get tiresome after a while.

I don't know if there is even still a Jinxed option since traits are gone and that wouldn't really make a good perk. All we've seen so far suggests that the SPECIAL system has undergone a major overhaul so we'll have to wait and see how it works out.

Intelligence is needed for better customization item perks. And with the extra experience gained by Intelligence and apparently being able to get straight SPECIAL points by leveling, the higher intelligence pays for itself in making your death god of the wastes up to its all 10 in everything position.

If you are downloading a save editor for a Bethesda Fallout game, you are 100% being duped into ram-jamming tons of viruses into your PC.

Seriously just use console commands to raise everything to 10. It takes like thirty seconds, plus you can do it when other people are around and claim you are "hacking the game".

So only 6 int will be needed and 6 luck. Looks like charisma will be a pet combat stat that could or could not be useful. I'm guessing the game will be unlimited and they will throw lvls at you so you can max all your special stats.

At a certain point the XP needed to level up would become somewhat difficult to get I imagine. They have said you can keep levelling though.
