I have my PC copy pre-ordered from Best Buy for the $10 gift card and GCU discount. Is there any way to preload on Steam (and have it locked until I put my cd key in) or will I just have to download it once I get my boxed copy? I'm thinking about canceling my Best Buy preorder and getting it through GMG so I can preload.

can't preload without the key. also, apparently the game disc in the box only has a small fraction of the overall game data, so you'll still be facing a hefty download even with it

It's probably not even worth it to email humble bundle to ask if they'll send it in time to preload. Thems the breaks of buying it at a discount I guess.

If you wanna do any preloading so as to play it as soon as it drops, then cancel the boxed preorder and get it through GMG...like right now. The boxed version will require a large download so it'll be a longer wait; also there's always a chance (though slim) that GMG run outta keys in which case you'd be hosed till they re-up.

So 32.1 on PC, because it's Bethesda and the textures are going to be the same.

I'm going to make a mele ninja and try and do the old Bethesda ridiculous 1 shot stealth build, my go to of a sniper or a small guns mid range semi sniper. I want stealth I just can't decide on close, mid, or long range. I'm leaning mid though to be honest.

This is the build I did.

You don't have to pick. If you go max or almost max agility you can reliably do tons of damage at all three ranges even with 1 Str.

Thank you again for your pre-order of Fallout 4 from Funstock Digital.

You may be aware the game is available for Pre-Load this evening (Friday 6th Nov) and some retailers are sending out keys.

Following the recent release of Call of Duty Black Ops 3 where a small number of customers received duplicate or invalid keys we have taken the decision to hold the delivery of keys until Monday (9th Nov) to test our delivery system and ensure you are not caused any unnecessary inconvenience.

If you would prefer to cancel your order and obtain a refund then please contact support@funstock.co.uk

Is there a cheaper place than GMG? It's £32 now.

Do weapons/armor still have hard stat minimums (ie, you can't even swing this weapon without Str 6), or is low stat just mean you are bad at it?
