Next one would be getting stupid with melee and keeping intelligence low to make idiot savant worthwhile, since it looks like idiot savant and Science! aren't going to play nicely together. :(

I would really like to know how INT + Idiot savant actually work togheter, since I plan on taking Idiot savant as my first perk (anything that gives more XP must be taken ASAP, and with no level cap it should actually be useful instead of a waste of a perk slot like in older Fallouts)

I know the minimum and recommended specs, but about where is a 2GB GTX 760 gonna get me with this game? Like should I expect to run on Medium? Should I just get it on PS4?

I'll run on about medium high. I have a 750ti and it's ok

Anyone else getting stuck in menus with no way to tab out and stuff, and no way to bring your pipboy at times?

Yes. Sometimes the pipboy acts like it comes up, but doesn't come up. Not sure what I did to make it come up after.

I guess how good the Light Step perk equivalent is will depend on how much of a bastard the game developers were with putting land mines everywhere.

J. Sawyer, I know you're out there somewhere! I still remember all the mines you hid inside bushes in Honest Hearts!

So far I've died to random explosions four times, it's my leading cause of death. One of the times I couldn't find the mine that killed me after I went into the same area. :iiam:

you dont actually need to scrap the random junk items from what i can tell, it counts as whatever components you need and scraps it when you need it

I like this for a melee character.

Book point goes into PAIN TRAIN. You could dump charisma into endurance and agility if you don't want intimidation, but if you don't want intimidation as a melee idiot character, you're doing it wrong imo. I suppose cannibal would be an acceptable alternate.

Very spoopy


Okay, so I'm walking down this alley, right? I get to the end of it, spy some ghouls across the plaza... get my rifle ready... :fuckoff: nuke blows up directly on top of me and I die instantly :wtc:

I reload, do the same thing 2 more times from different angles.

Eventually found the fucker, it was some raider scum on top of some buildings at a very rude angle with the fat boy. He ran all the way downstairs to show you guys what it looks like to get molotov'd to death



Everything max'd at 1440p, pretty drat smooth.

This game is like, really pretty. The lighting is incredible

Without question. I was watching some German guy gently caress around with facial features and positioning and accidentally make like three different photo-perfect actors on their way to ghastly troll monster. The Chevy Chase was especially convincing.

I fucking hate puzzles.
I'm still kind of torn how I want to proceed. I kind of wanted to do something similar to my New Vegas character who's combat tactic is to throw explosives and then punch you in the face, but I'm wondering how viable it is in this game. Part of me thinks I should do a more traditional shooting build since gun modifications seem to be a big thing they are pushing for in this game. Alternatively I could also stick with my current stat layout plan of 7str 5per/int and just rock heavy weapons instead of grenades and melee.

Can anyone confirm how robust the heavy weapon category is? Is it just miniguns, flamethrowers, and rocket launchers or are there some heavy energy weapons and weirdo moddable poo poo like single shot cannons? Does the heavy weapons perks stack with the explosives /energy weapon perks?

Survival mode is p much just bulle sponge. got out of the vault, immediately ran into some invisible wall telling me I can't go there despite it being walkable terrain. Then died to a bloatfly and some ghouls a couple times. Granted, level 1 no gear, but lol dying to a bloatfly was a new experience for me. Ghouls are also kind of scary noqw when they ambush you bc you thought they were corpses.

edit: Yeah, radio guy is totally a quirkster hip boy.

Oh, mines still downloading in the background. Cool. 10/32 gigs. I was confused for a minute since the initial download just said 4.5 gigs, but we're good.

Got it running much nicer on my 750ti with the ini tweaks posted and the latest drivers, using that digital foundry video and just using the settings they did. Game looks nice and runs OK - better than I was expecting with this card. Interiors are still inexplicably worse than exteriors though, in terms of performance.

You meet people you can specifically invite to settlements. Like the ghoul version of the Vault-Tec guy in Goodneighbor Otherwise I think it depends on happiness.

I'm glad I'm not the only one, I was about to be a thousand times more pissed off if it was some truly random bullshit.

I felt it coming, though. Everything had seemed too easy up until then.

Is anyone else getting serious Bioshock 1/2 vibes from this? The AI is really annoying in the best way possible, I'm going to have a lot of fun setting up traps and poo poo.

Seriously though, the conversation wheel is a tragedy, one of the major parts of fallout, the convos, are crippled like this. It's the only criticism I have right now, this feels less like fallout and more like mass effect, which isn't really that good a thing.

Having the conversation typed on screen then having the voice read the exact same thing you just read is dumb and no modern game does that. Name whatever game you think has great dialog and writing (mass effect, witcher, life is strange, walking dead) and literally every single one is doing the "pick the sort of response then the dialog expands on it" route instead of "the man reads the thing I clicked" like old games did.
