Vargs posted:It does seem pretty good, but I'd probably just go to rank 3 on it rather than 4. Rank 4 only benefits you if you're using these things at 1%-19% health remaining, with less benefit the higher you are. I dunno about you but I don't tend to wait until I'm at 1% health to use a stimpack, or have lost 99% of my max hp to radiation before I eat a RadAway. I've used a Stimpack at 0 HP before. Someone else pointed out that 0 HP doesn't mean death in this game, and I was quite surprised that only a couple of hours in I confirmed this. It would have been nice if that Stimpack had done a full heal.  But otherwise you're right.

Just heard a convincing and sweet conversation between Sturges and Jun and it's like... Bethesda does actually halfway grasp how to write people. Sometimes. I really feel like the game, at least so far, would be significantly enhanced had there not been the scene with Baldy killing Spousey and stealing Babby. Just have you wake up, open up your husband's cryopod, and oh poo poo he's dead and Shaun is missing. And that's it. It would not, it seems, have changed anything else so far, but it would have kind of enhanced the mystery and the feeling of entering a different world that Fallout is supposed to evoke.

I wonder what Codsworth calls you if you give your character a first and last name and both of them are on his list of things he can say. If I name my guy Leo McCoy, is he going to call me Mr. Leo or Mr. McCoy?

quote:If you just put junk in your workshop resources instead of dropping them on the ground and scrapping them, you end up wasting a lot of resources. For example, if you have an item that has a screw and a spring, and you make an item that needs 1 screw, the item is destroyed and the spring is lost forever. welp. Time to test if this is true, if yes this sucks big balls man

To give an example on this: you know those piecemeal bandit leather / metal armor pieces you can pick up? You can wear those over your vault suit so you effectively have a an armor layer you can upgrade to be good at stopping bullets over your vault suit that you can upgrade to be good against energy and radiation.

It doesn't matter what order I put things on, and I know for a fact I've switched between two pieces of clothing while wearing armor bits. However, some non-combat clothing like suits, shirt and jeans, etc are not compatible with armor bits. Unrelated, how do you tell how much AP a weapon takes to fire in VATS? I've determined that the higher fire rate weapons can be fired more in VATS, but what's the actual number per shot? I have one gun that can barely not fire a third shot in VATS. I'd like to know when that kind of thing will happen before I actually enter a combat.

If I'm playing on Very Easy (since, let's get real, I'm not playing these games for the combat or the story or anything-- if it's anything like Skyrim it's just a big walking simulator with a huge world built with an AAA budget) am I going to have to worry about ~*~*~character optimization~*~*~ or whatever?

Number 1 Sexy Dad posted:does this game suck or what That depends on your tolerance for Bethesda jank before it can be corrected in add-ons. All the caviots from Skyrim and Fallout 3 at launch apply here. Edit: For what it's worth I'm enjoying my time with the game so far. I absolutely understand why some people have 0 tolerance for the jankiness anymore though. DeathSandwich fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Nov 10, 2015 |

If you're planning on doing any settlement type business you should take at least 6 charisma, and you might as well take 9 or 10 science so you can hit 11 with the bobblehead. Nuclear Physicist is insanely good, especially if you're going to play on Survival where power armor is almost a requirement.

Horray, I fixed two of my main issues. The dust issue was solved by updating my drivers which were REALLY out of date because I am dumb. The second issue was that I remapped VATS to V. Who was the idiot who decided to put the "go into third person view" button where the VATS button has been for the past two games?

Local Leader does seem like it's really important if you're building settlements though. I'll probably be playing on Hard. Do you think taking Nuclear Physicist is worth it over the higher-Luck VATS perks like Grim Reaper's Sprint and Critical Banker in that case?

Not very far into the game, but it didn't make any sense that baldy baby burglar would wake you up just to taunt you and let you watch your spouse die. If you slept through it, the whole scene could have been shown through a grainy security camera log on a holotape after you wake up. Although I guess then you would know how long ago it occurred, which I'm guessing is going to be a plot twist later on.

Does anyone have any idea why putting Shadow Distance any higher than medium will seriously hamper my performance? The other graphics settings do barely anything and I can easily run everything on ultra but shadow distance on high will lower my FPS by like 20 in certain cityish areas (and this hit is almost independent of the other settings) I have a 970 and i7 3770k. Other people with similar PCs seem to be able to run their game with high/ultra Shadow distance and maintain 60 FPS just fine. The game isn't maxing out either my GPU or CPU.

I totally agree about this. It would've also reduced the sense of narrative urgency in an open-world game, and prevented you from witnessing an inexplicable "woke up in the middle of cryo sleep for no reason" scene.

Or don't even have a spouse pre-war. Just get sent to the cryo-chamber like Fry from Futurama and wake up all "whaaaaat?" Then you can wander from there and do whatever. Maybe you have a wife and have a baby. Maybe you don't. But yeah at the very least just waking up alone would have worked better. Everybody is dead except for baby who is missing. Where is baby? That would have worked better. But nope, gotta have that EXTREME moment to kick start the game!

I also love how weird it is to have the husband do the opening narration for the game in lieu of Ron Perlman for the very first time in the series' history, only to have him get shot in the face ten minutes into the game if you play as a woman, rendering the whole thing completely pointless.

Local Leader does seem like it's really important if you're building settlements though. If you're going to invest in VATS really heavily right off the bat you could probably make do without power armor pretty easily, but stomping around like a huge retard shooting lasers is the whole appeal of the science tree to me. So yeah, you'll probably be fine then. On the other hand, high intelligence is what gets you the quick level rate and lets you push the soft cap out as far as you can.

Or they could've had you choose a background at character creation and make it part of a side quest chain in the main game. Just give like four backgrounds ("Family Man/Woman," "Loner," "Grizzled Veteran," "Vault-Tec Representative") and have them tie into something you can do later in the game. Like, if you have the Family background, your spouse's cryo-chamber fails but the baby is gone and there's a long-ish side quest chain to find out what happened. If you pick Vault-Tec Representative, you're one of the low-information employees who gets screwed over and your side quest chain involves going to other vaults and learning about their (often failed) social experiments.
