I don't even want to see what happens if you gain CHIM outside of a pre-coded system.

Lots of weapons/clothing options. You can ditch the Vault suit within like a minute of leaving the vault.

I haven't ditched it, though, unlike every other numbered Fallout. The extra energy resistance plus my armor's physical resistance balance out quite nicely, and I can see it being useful for a while yet. It's a good way to encourage using the thing, for once.

Jesus this thread is moving quick. To be expected I guess.

A few good things and a few issues so far.

One, SweetFX works perfectly. It's to the point I can't even play games without it any more :v:





Compared to that photoshop I did months ago:


[edit] Hmm, maybe increase the black level slightly but decrease the mid point contrast slightly?

I've yet to get SLI to work but I'm hoping after I update the drivers it will.

I did that mouseacceleration=0 thing but the Mouse Speed is stupid quick. With the ingame slider all the way to the left (slowest speed) I can still do a full 360 in 2 inches of the mouse moving. Is there an ini I can tweak?

Okay, so I guess I can build beds on certain places on roofs of buildings but nowhere else, and when I do they count as "sheltered". Did Bethesda make this fort building minigame because they had finally run out of places to put new bugs in the normal gameplay?

building poo poo works fine. maybe you just haven't figured it out yet? :confused:

Yeah, I'm definitely still carrying it around. I haven't modded it much yet or worn much armor over it, but maybe that'd be a good idea.

I need to find a suit or a turtleneck or something so I can finally look like Archer.

What else am I supposed to say when I remove a broken house so I have a nice perfectly flat foundation, put a prefab floor and ceiling on it, try to put a bed inside and it tells me I can't, but then when I try to put a bed in an angled roof, it lets me, even though the bed model is clipping through the roof?

Also remember that making beds is the very first tutorial task the game gives you with the building system so you'd think they would have worked extra hard to make it work right.

I wanted the radio to play nonstop Drop Kick Murphy's and endless bagpipes, but all we get is some 1950's tunes. I'm fairly confident if there were nuclear cars in Boston there were some irish drunkenmen bashing out some wicked bagpipes before the bomb went off.

Companions in this game are hot garbage. They actually have worse AI than 3.

Why yes, feel free to stand there in the middle of the room doing nothing during this fight. Turn your back to the guy shooting you and stare at me instead.

Cool, thanks for running up to the enemies and then leading them back to me when I'm trying to sneak.

Nice, you just stand between the person I'm talking to and I in the cutscene. That's helpful.

So what's the consensus on the more useful SPECIAL stats this time?

Agility is where it's at. I'm finding it hard to envision a build which doesn't have a good amount of it.

Other than that, they're all good but you want at least 3 in Endurance for Life Giver because you get a lot less starting life in this version of the game than the others. If you want to pick locks that's Perception 4. If you want to hack Computers that's Intelligence 4. Though there's a companion that will let you do it without needing the perks, so it's not vital.

But yeah, Agility to at least 5 I'd say. Endurance 3. Then whatever you want.

So, because I modeled and named my character after Sterling Archer, I now need a good Archer build.

I don't really want to rely on VATS too much, so I'm reluctant to invest heavily in Luck, but Archer is like the luckiest man alive. Normal "spy" skills are a given (Sneak, Locksmith, maybe Hacking to represent him using devices to get around electronic things), but beyond that I'm not too sure.

I can see the reluctance about luck, but ricochet seems like a very Archer trait. I'm trying to figure out if you should grab animal friend based on his love of ocelots or not since his rule against dogs.

Lady Killer? Archer's charisma is tricky. It feels like it should be 8 or 3 depending on your viewpoint.

Everything in this game is way quicker and loves to get in your face. Ghouls will jump a dozen feet like a torpedo into you which is a bit unnerving.

Security robots are genuinely terrifying this go around because of how relentless and capable they are. Even if you disable the limbs of the thing they'll get in your face for their end of life nuclear detonation.

I'm pretty sure this just happened to me, but with a Super Mutant rushing me with a bomb held like a(n American) football.

I surmised the positioning based on the achievement I immediately got; "Touchdown." It was surprising, to say the least.
