Did I imagine Todd Howard saying he put over 400 hours into the game and was still finding new things?

I didn't even think about doing the VPN trick and currently have the game downloading regular like. Oh well. Any good streams up since they killed all the twitch feeds?

im not going to say they won't ban your account they could, they are well within their rights to and could easily do it that being said, I don't think they or EA have ever done it the only bans I can ever recall occurring from VPNs are if you VPN in to buy a game at a cheaper price, and they don't even always ban you then lots of people bought Battlefield Hardline at the Mexico price and nothing ever came of it so basically, they probably won't ban your Steam account, but they could and might

Scoss posted:I did the VPN trick with Skyrim, but it's been a long time and I'm sure I was a little nervous back then too. Just to confirm: It seems like the sort of thing where 99% of the time it'll be fine but if you get one of those rare situations where steam messes up you are going to be in a bad place for contacting customer support.

You need to set your server download region to NZ (download settings) as well as your store region in your account details (click your username in the top right)

Yeah I think it would just give too much of a negative hit to PR if they banned people who loving paid 50+ for the game. It's never happened before and I doubt it will in the future.

You don't use the VPN until you've got it fully downloaded and it's unlock time in the country you're going to VPN through anyway so you still have the option later. 1. Fully preload the game prior to release day in the target country After unlock time: 2. Close steam 3. Connect VPN 4. Reopen steam, unlock and launch game. If you don't launch it once whilst in online mode it won't start up in offline mode. 5. Close game 6. Restart steam in offline mode 7. Disconnect VPN Just don't let steam online again until your local launch date and it'll be fine. I played NV and Deus Ex HR for a couple of days before the UK launches with this method, and have never had any issues with my steam account. As long as you paid your local price for it they don't really give a poo poo.

So does that mean the map is bigger than what some of the early streamers were showing off? Because the map they showed off was pretty small.

I assume it's small but you're going to be running into stuff every 3 minutes instead of every 8 minutes like in FO3/NV. Whether the stuff you run into is fun or not is up in the air.

Its weird tho, even using FlyVPN the date isn't changing on Steam, tho it is on my browser. Verified all traffic is going through New Zealand tho, so I don't know whats with the discrepancy there

Infinity Gaia posted:Actually builds are probably more relevant than ever in Fallout 4. There isn't THAT much experience to go around in the game, just because you can theoretically level forever doesn't mean it's reasonable to do so. Like I said, having watched a bunch of leakers, I'd guess the average player ends the game in the high 50's/low 60's range, which is pretty much just enough for a focused build considering multiple perk ranks and such. Unlike the previous two games where with minimal amounts of effort (mostly just having high starting Intelligence) you could trivially become a master of all things in vanilla. I mean, there is nothing really stopping you from grinding out 10 attributes in all SPECIAL. Nothing but 43 levels. 43 levels of nearly the exact same performance you had at level 1. SPECIAL seem primarily about gating perks. Perks are the real deal. The trick, is the system enables you to make immediate and significant strides toward your intended playstyle. You're not waiting until level 20 or 30 for a 'class defining' perk. You're getting a slice of it right out the door, and they're still substantial slices. +20% damage is no joke. At level 2 you will legitimately be proficient at something. By level 10, you will probably have the base tier of all class vital perks, and effectively be playing exactly the way you want to ultimately be playing, and continue doing just that for the next 30 levels. By the time you hit level 43, sure, you have exactly the same SPECIAL, but you will actually be ultimate sneak, or gunslinger, or melee bruiser. That guy with 10 SPECIAL across the board? Maybe he doubled his HP, but you also did that, and then some. So SPECIAL are class defining. You pick your spread, and while they can be corrected, or even maxed, the fact you're looking at a double XP+ (minimum) investment to actually get any new perks is balancing. Think about it. Make a character with 1 str. Decide that character wasn't maximum effective power armor. That's 9 levels of very little benefit (carry weight is actually pretty rad). THEN you can start gaining XP toward FINALLY investing in Pain Train. On the other hand, the system has the flexibility to facilitate an already strong character becoming even stronger without such a task being so tedious. Now, it could all fall apart in practice. If XP/level gain is super fast or super slow, or has a weird curve, but conceptually I am really liking it... on paper.
