alpha_destroy posted: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. For Charisma, I'm definitely doing the low-Charisma, boost with chems and clothes thing. Archer's super abrasive and awful but he can be charming under very specific circumstances. What kind of weapons, do you think? I mean, Archer's a spy and pretty good at sneaking, but you don't see him snipe very often, which is definitely not my usual playstyle (I usually grab sniper rifles and go to town). Maybe get Gunslinger and Commando and use the Luck VATS perks to rampage when my sneaking inevitably fails?

Anyway, go back there after a few days of game time and prepare to be amazed. Some random thoughts: - Local map is still useless poo poo - I want to see surrounding areas, not just a small 20 meter square of the things I can already see - Ton of poo poo that doesn't have map markers, that's probably why the leaked map picture seemed so sparse - gently caress YOU DOGMEAT DON'T RUN INTO MY LEGS ALL THE TIME - I really should get over my hoarding habit - Interface still bad, but got a bit better when I realized WASD navigated the menus in the Pip-Boy, there are separate hotkeys to go to each pane (M for map, I for inventory etc) and E works in every dialoge you are prompted to hit enter - Game seems to be a steady 60 FPS most of the time, but being at top of the Corvega building and looking down at the town made my framerate drop to 40-45. Hope it won't be bad in Boston proper. - I really should get over my hoarding habit - "I wonder how that quarry flooded?" "I wonder how that quarry flooded?" "I wonder how that quarry flooded?" "I wonder how that quarry flooded?" gently caress you, Codsworth. It's not even flooded anymore! And no, doesn't seem like he said that to initiate some dialog with me. - Hard to find a gun that I like so far. Experimenting with mods is cumbersome since you have to spend resources every time you change something, even changing back. - I can see why streamers liked the pipe gun class, though. Tons of ammo for it lying around. - I really should get over my hoarding habit

Seriously though are other people not having problems placing things? I spent 45 minutes trying to place a single bed anywhere in town at all before random clicking led me to put one literally inside of the roof of one of the existing houses, which is still the only place the game will allow them it seems. I still have no clue how I am going to make actual reasonable looking structures this way.

I've seen some people expressing frustration that stealth is just not worth it this time around (scripted events and enemy placements making it extraordinarily difficult to go undetected), but I haven't really started even trying to sneak yet so I don't know.

Harrow posted:Is the problem with sneaking or melee, out of curiosity? In my experience, the "surprise attack on the big guy, then fight normally" method still works fine, and they give up searching easily enough if you only put a few shots in. Make sure to walk if you want to sneak properly, as usual (caps lock is the default toggle, you know the drill).

Harrow posted:Is the problem with sneaking or melee, out of curiosity? Stealth just ain't what it used to be. It may become more viable in the higher ranks of the perk but as it is now, it's exceedingly difficult to sneak up on enemies (especially trying to get close enough for melee). But like I said, I'm not at the upper tiers of Sneak.

Sneaking is pretty tough, as a great deal of the enemies are spawned casually watching the entrances into rooms, and you lack something like a lean button that would let you scope it out before you sneak in the door. Not sure why but it felt way better in Skyrim

Sneaking gets easier as your sneaking number gets higher. Enemies stop responding so readily to obvious provocation. At max level you can basically walk right on front of them and they won't notice you.

Can someone explain the armor system to me? I mean, it's loving frustrating as all hell to get a new "outfit" only to find it out counts as armor for some parts of the body but not others so you have to grab those individual pieces. Then you find a cool or better set of individual pieces covering all your body parts, only then you put it on and realize none of the pieces have a base skin so you're running around with spike barbs all over you but showing off your underwear... Fortunately the Vault Suit seems to work in most cases as a base, but that gets old.

The game's combat meta is very much Skyrim-style where you want to ranged stealth whenever possible because you get your poo poo hosed up in melee this time around (rad damage from pretty much everything), the bad guys aren't very smart about tracking you down when you're stealthed (though they're smarter than Skyrim barbarians), and the game rains .38 ammo on you. Sometimes you will get into situations where you can't really stealth because there are several monsters that can spawn on top of you and the dungeons clearly aren't designed to be stealth cheesed. I think the oil refinery had like 30 loving dudes just on the inside. Also holy gently caress, apparently every two-bit idiot in Boston knows how to make a turret. That's getting a wee bit tiresome. Now that every single item in the game is a crafting mat, you're going to want to be packratting everything you see. If it only gives you wood or steel, you can safely drop it, but there are relatively few items like that. Your job as Fallout man is to run every object you find into a shredder and turn it into a farm or a mod for your favorite gun. So far I find the Sims Fallout Edition thing really unrewarding and more than a bit tedious, but you can completely ignore it. Overall the core gameplay is fine and there are numerous improvements that make it seem like they were taking notes from the mod community during New Vegas and Skyrim. I can see myself dropping a minimum 300 hours on this in no time. And boy howdy I desperately want to do an rear end in a top hat run on these NPCs when I am done with my first playthrough.

So my system is: Dual core 3.2 Ghz 16Gb Ram GTX 750 w/ 2 Gb Ram Win 7 At first the game said it couldn't detect my graphics card and set everything to low, so I started playing around with the settings. Right now textures, lighting and decals are at high, shadows at medium, godrays off, anti-aliasing and Isotropic are at max. The fade sliders are in the middle and the detail options are at high. The game looks and runs great. I'll keep playing with the settings and see what I can get away with but right now the game is pretty gorgeous.

Fortunately the Vault Suit seems to work in most cases as a base, but that gets old. Thin armor counts as base. The little pipboy icon will show you what armor slots a piece of armor takes up but a good general rule is that thin armor has no defensive stats but usually some other bonus. (Usually a 1-2 SPECIAL stat bonus.) If it is thin armor you can layer atop it. If it is thick armor you can't. The same applies to head armor. You have a slot for glasses and a slot for head armor but there are pieces of armor that grant more defense but take up both.

OK I finally managed to fix the weird stuttering I was getting in interiors. I just did what this post said, except set the max fps to 30 in Riva Statistics Tuner. My settings are the same as the digital foundry video where they compared their budget PC to the consoles. So now on a 750ti, I can play at 1080p, med-high settings, and get a completely locked 30fps everywhere, never drops a frame.

Currently most aggravating thing is that I can't break down trees that poke into my settlements, which makes it hard to put up walls.  I have no loving clue how that Bethesda dev built that pip boy thing in the release video because precision furniture placement is not a thing that exists.

Not sure if F4 would have the same issue but it's Bethesda so be warned.
