Yeah, annoyingly, some of the perks are just number increases. However... Some of the perks seem really crazy and game-changing, like ejecting your used-up power cores as grenades, Terminator 3 style? That's awesome.

Traits aren't in this game, are they? Handicapping yourself for a strange and cool bonus was always neat, it'd be sad if it was gone.

No, and neither is Weird Wasteland or equivalent, since that was a NV thing. I wonder if that means the wacky trippy stuff just isnt there, or whether it scales on luck, or what.

I'm a heretic who likes 3 over NV for teh most part but TAKE DRUGS! KILL A BEAR! was pretty awesome.

I get the FBI anti piracy warning splash page, but do our law enforcement officers now pair that up with forlorn violin music for dramatic effect? (cinema sins DING)

in the source code the pic is 'rip.jpg' and the audio is 'rip.mp3' so I think no

also think this is an active stream

Honestly, I really hated the perk tree in Skyrim, but other than the +damage perks I think that the Fallout 4 system is pretty good. I don't know why, maybe it's because skills always kind of sucked.

It definitely was annoying to make sure you were carrying a gun that could not only take down the level scaling enemies that you cam up against, but also utilized your stronger weapon skill so its stats weren't poo poo. But I can almost hear the people that will swear this game is a monstrosity because it isn't fallout 3 furiously typing on how it betrayed the better fallout fundamentals of 2008. If Obsidian were to make another game they'd have to eat that hate double-fold when those types of folk would likely latch onto Fallout: New Canaan/Babylon/Another Van Buren with the hope that the jank of the past would come back and then react worse when they didn't get a return to the glory of Fallout 1's time limit.

As for Traits, I don't think anyone saw that in character customization so they may be gone all together. Maybe they show up just in Survival mode or something, but it's odd that no leaks even covered them if they were in 4.

Yeah, my Xbox version is preloading now. I deleted the placeholder and re-installed and it's going slow this time so it appears to be the real game and not a fake 30GB file that insta-installs.

drat, you get a full suit of power armor really early, huh. I'm guessing it's a case of "preview level generosity" and after you help out the guys it's outta gas.

Instead of looking at your wrist Pipboy you get a different Heads-Up Display for your menu while in power armor. Rad.

As for that site, I'm not sure if it's legit but personally if I have to ask "Is this site legit?" then it isn't worth the risk.

If you want to save some money just use GMG's 20% coupon, it's only like $5 more and you don't have to worry about your credit card or steam account being stolen.

whats this coupon?? It's two posts above you dummy!

All the streamers stopped using power armor after that tutorial segment because they didn't have enough fusion cores so you're completely right. I think the hatenewspapers streamer actually had a stockpile but then he's too dumb to use power armor.

Related to needing power cores to run power armor, one thing I'm kinda worried about is needing to find poo poo for upgrades. I can see the idea of "Ok I need to find a toothbrush, a piece of duct tape, and a can of red paint, hope I find them in the random loot" thing becoming wearing after a while.

Like, repair kits in New Vegas were so good that you started stockpiling all the otherwise-vendor-trash stuff in advance, because if you didn't (and sometimes, even if you did). you had to go on a Hunt For Some Goddamned Wonderglue.

There's references in the pip boy app code to a quest for a superior fusion core so you might be able to unlock that later.

A tooltip said you can still use it even without fusion cores, but you'll be way slower and can't use VATS.
