So I named my guy Shawn and of loving course that isn't a voiced option for Codsworth, is there someway I can edit an .ini and change my name to something good like fuckface or dong?

Colgate posted:This is actually my biggest problem! I'm supposed to care about the husband and kid, but they give you zero reason to, except MUST CARE ABOUT BABY. Talking to Codsworth after you leave the vault at the beginning gives you four dialogue non-choices, since they all boil down to WHERES MY BABY. What's the point in having dialogue choices if they're all basically the same thing. There's like zero options for any roleplaying outside of what Bethesda wants you to do. What's got me intrigued is , you go back into stasis after that moment. I suspect we're not actually going to find a baby Shaun  .

There is an .ini you can change, or you can also press ~ and enter "ShowSPECIALMenu." which will let you change your name. I think it also lets you change your stats, don't do that unless you possibly want to reset your level. (Not sure if it does this)

Zaphod42 posted:The only thing I haven't liked so far was Hey here's your wife, whoops, now she's dead. That's purely character motivation, not player motivation. I as the player have no idea who my wife is as a person and have no real reason to give a poo poo about her other than you telling me that my character does. That's really weak storytelling. I'm not sure if this is a bit or not. It's your character's wife and baby we're talking about. Everyone in the world has a family. Every Fallout with proper motivation had a family-based motivation. In 1, your extended family would die without a Water Chip. In 2, your extended family will die without a GECK. In 3, your father escapes. In 4, someone shoots your wife and steals your infant son.

Yeah having my character be forced to act as if she cares about her baby is annoying. This is a Fallout game, I should be able to be as heartless and mercenary as I wanna be. =\

I like the way Power Armor is set up. It's resource limited, so you have to use it sparingly. I got wrecked by a Raider base with turrets early on, and I was like, "Oh ok, brb guys." Brought the Power Armor + minigun.

Starhawk64 posted:So what's the goon hivemind consensus of this game? Is it a buggy piece of poo poo that I should wait on buying so it can get patched? I am not one to exagerate, but I have to say that this is the worst game I ever played. It's horrible. Everything about it is bad, it even smells bad. So much poo poo, no fun at all. In the 10+ hours I've played since release I will just NOT stop swearing, all the time. Even my dog has stopped barking and will randomly say "retard! retard!" to me while I play. Wow such epic failage. I want to kill myself, but that would mean leaving a world where fallout 4 still exists. Nuke the world is what I say, so we don't have to suffer this very bad game. Ugh, just ugh. Just stay away. Play a good game, like dark souls, or maybe final fantasy 7.

man this is super disappointing. It's exactly the same as NV. I feel like I already played this game. Dialogue, faces, voice acting, animations and the world itself are all completely underwhelming. It's like the only thing they changed is to make the entire game about scavenging and crafting. Do people really wanna craft an entire goddamn town using some clunky interface?

I think I'm going to reroll my dude and focus on the gun-crafting and +full-auto perks. I'm not super impressed with melee, partially because I have 98 minutes played and have found exactly one (1) tire iron and that's it while I have a hundred pounds of pistols and carbines.

Just as an FYI, since we're sharing, I've been running with everything on ultra with the except of things I don't really care about (godrays, motion blur off, bokeh off). I don't know what FPS I'm running at, but it looks good? No stuttering or anything. i5-4690 8GB RAM GTX 970 Windows 10 I put about a grand into building a new PC for this game and The Witcher 3, feel pretty justified with how they both run. Phew!!

this game staggers me with the amount of poo poo that is lazy or poorly thought out. in the first thirty minutes of the game alone - 1. the bombs drop literally right after you put your name down for the vault. you immediately then run there, *past* the guy you gave your name to, and proceed without issue. how did nobody raise a flag at this? 2. when it's time to leave the door literally swings open like it's a disney world ride or haunted house or something lol 3. If you go left out your door it takes all of five seconds to get to a place where you literally see actors fade in out of nothingness and start running towards the vault 4. ineffectual briefcase man - on your left as you run towards the vault. his wife is telling him to hurry but what is the actual issue? his bag seems fine, he seems fine, pick your poo poo up and get moving bro. like much else in this game I don't think they expected you to think too hard about it 5. the guy manning the door controls in the vault. says that 'once you're in the vault there'll be lots of time for everyone to get to know one another", but this obviously makes no sense considering the nature of the vault. The only way to have this make sense is for the guy to be some sort of sociopath who gets off on being way over the top in his deception. "Move along, your questions will be answered shortly" wasn't enough for this loving psychopath 6. if you go to the police station before following that moron in a cowboy hat from concord to wherever, you still have the option to tell the BoS that you're from the town that I'm assuming you set up. They clearly put zero effort into reactive stuff like this that NV was full of. that's just off the top of my head, I'm sure there's stuff to like but there was sooooo much more just like these examples that it'll be an exercise in making my own fun. Not that we didn't know that going in.

So I keep on hearing that the specs were significantly exaggerated and the game isn't as taxing as we were led to believe. Well I'm a big dumb idiot and ordered laptop ram instead of PC ram so now I have to wait for my replacement. Meanwhile, I'm half tempted to try and run the game with just 4GB of ram on a gtx 960. Think I'll have some luck or should I just save my money til I upgrade to 8 gigs of RAM?

If you read the overseers log you'll understand why 5 is not an issue, and the town you build with the minnuteman guy IS the town you're from, just 200 years later.

They clearly put zero effort into reactive stuff like this that NV was full of. To be fair, this is like a day after the bombs dropped for John Fallout and you spend all of 10 minutes awake in the Vault, so it kinda makes sense that you'd reflexively list your pre-war neighborhood.

You were preapproved because you/r husband was a soldier, clipboard man was basically just there to finalize paperwork. Surprisingly when nukes are falling, they don't really give a poo poo if form 22-A was submitted properly, they see your name on a list of pre-approved folks and let you in.

MisterBibs posted:I'm not sure if this is a bit or not. It's your character's wife and baby we're talking about. Everyone in the world has a family. Everybody has a father, but not everybody has a wife or a baby. And I'm not saying 3's relationship with Liam Neeson was much better. But that wasn't even my point. The point is, and this happens A LOT in videogames, you have to give the player a chance to develop a relationship with the character before the player will have emotions at the death or the danger of the character. When you find out that Marcus Phoenix's dad died or whoever in Gears of War, it means nothing to you as a player and comes across as hilarious when they get all sad because you've literally never seen or even heard about that character before. They mean nothing to you but the character is screaming "NOOOO!" and that juxtaposition just seems silly. Now I'm not saying she should be your bodypillow waifu or whatever, but having a few levels where you actually get to know the character makes all the difference. In Fallout 4 we only get 5 minutes of our wife saying "hey go play with the baby" and then "hey lets go to the shelter", its just not enough to care. Compare that with a character like Elizabeth from Bioshock who you actually get to know her personality a little so that by the time she goes missing, you actually give a poo poo. I'm fine with the motivation in the game being "family". But that family needs to feel like the player's family, not the player's character's family. See the difference? I don't give a poo poo about my avatar's virtual family inherently. Needing to find your baby feels more like a chore than a moral imperative.

As long as you don't sprint around everywhere you can pretty much wear power armor forever, especially with the intelligence related perks. I'm pretty sure you could walk all the way across the map twice and only use a single core with that perk at the max level. As far as I can tell they're infinitely available from traders, too, so you don't really have to worry about running out.
