The secret is that, in Fallout 4, this isn't your character.

Why even give you the option to customise it and assign skill points then? Your logic is horrible.

Haven't played Witcher or Fallout yet, but I was bored of throwing magazines to distract guards so I could yawn loudly and/or reloading missions so I could throw magazines and yawn loudly in MGS. I don't usually regret renting games, bit it wasn't even worth the $8 unless you really like shittily implemented stealth or don't care about mission objectives. It's a lot of riding a horse through empty deserts so you can (not) kill the same three guards in the same three spots while not walking too loudly.

This sucks. I would have gone to bed at 7 pm and wake up like 3 am to play a little Fallout 4 before going to work, had I known Steam/Bethesda would gently caress up the pre-load this badly. I'm gonna write everybody up that tries to spoiler the game for me at work.

You can select 'transfer' on your workbench, then there's a button to store all your junk in there. Apparently junk stored in this way is automatically broken down when needed.

So this is cool, in-game settings there's no option for full screen or resolution settings, so I exit out and start up the game. Oh cool, I get it, just set the option on the start-up screen. Let's see, uncheck windowed mode...resolution to 1440p...settings to ultra...hit okay...hmmm, that doesn't do it, still starting in a tiny little window mode that takes up a quarter of my screen. So I exit back out and reset the options again, hit ok, then I hit the settings again just to see if the options stick. Nope, resets itself to window mode and lovely resolution.

So I literally am unable to play this game on my native resolution in full screen mode.

These are burn victims. It's just cruel.

You can't have a Bethesda game without a creative and magical character creation process. The possibilities for horrifying monstrosities is another trademark of the company.

I'm not even mad. Just... A mixture of horror and a feeling of "I'm home again." The world would be a colder place without Bethesda's magic.

Game is very Fallout, suiting my Fallout needs excellently; very happy with the Falloutedness of this game. So far no real issue has reduced the Falloutability of this game. Quite happy.

So is the general consensus so far that you can run this even on specs below minimum? Been seeing people say on the Steam forums that they are running it on dual and quad cores but I'm a little skeptical to take some randoms at their word.

You just can't expect sophisticated gamers in 2023 to choose how to allocate numbers or "read descriptions". The metacritic scores speak for themselves TBH.

Here is a steam community guide to tweak various poo poo if you are at work and not playing fallout 4 but want to pretend you are:

QUICK FIXES FOR DUDES THAT FINISH QUICK:

ipresentinterval=0 if you are running gsync or hate input delay or hate everything. Makes your camera act less sluggish and drunk. - change the value from 1 to 0
bmouseacceleration=0 because bethesda. If you think having this on in any game is fine, i will fight you. used by all MLG skyrimmers. add the line under the [Controls] header in config files below

apply these (or other) fixes to the .ini's below until we figure out what shenanigan config file priority system bethesda is using this time:
fallout4.ini (my docs>my games), fallout4prefs.ini (my docs>my games), fallout4default.ini (steam fallout4 folder)

Potentially gamesaving fix:
Ingame terminals may or may not work if you run 120hz+. Cap your framerate to 110 or lower with rivatuner or some poo poo and you won't get permastuck staring at computers in your computer game. Also loving with vsync may help if you want to go the extra mile

I started downloading the game on PSN at noonish. Not long later, it told me the download was done. I checked for an update, it said it was good. In system storage it said it was 32 gig file and the download was complete. Then after launch, I try to open the application, and suddenly, it's telling me I only had 10/32 gigs downloaded. Looks like it's bedtime.

It's alright. I mean if you have other stuff to play you can totally refund and pick it up later. It's not going anywhere. It's a bethesda game and all that that entails and if you're hungry for one go for it. If not, refund it.

At least they got borderless windowed mode working and alt-tab on regular fullscreen doesn't cause the game to freak out.

I've played 16 hours according to steam. The base building UI makes me want to throw my monitor out the window. The hosed up placement of items and everything about that is bad but not unusuable. Everything involved with the settlers themselves is loving insane.

So once you start getting more than 1 settlement and a bunch of settlers you need to start manually assigning people to jobs. Like farming or gathering scrap. The problem is past those first 4-5 people in the tutorial building section everyone has generic name "settler." with no other naming. No numbers no letters no nothing. Also theres no list of everyone in a settlement. Theres no list of how many people are working on a job or what jobs total. When you start running supply lines between settlements you are never gonna undo them because the people are randomly out somewhere in the waste and you need to find them and give them new orders to do something else. I needed to redo some of my caravan supply lines after I understood the mechancis more it became impossible because they were never in town for me to reassign. I have 16 people in a settlement and 14 in another and it's Schrodinger god drat labor pool because I have no clue how many of them actually have jobs.

How the gently caress did this make it out of testing.
