Yes. Where are all the adhesives?

Anybody know how high you have to level lockpicking to get that Cryo gun from the intro?

As soon as I got some bobby pins I ran back there, but its not a simple lock :smith:

So now that I have played my obligatory couple of hours to understand a bit more of how the game works, I am starting over with that knowledge so I can better plan out my beginning stat distribution. Just wondering what others are striving for or have found to be really useful? I would like to take this game on on survival, unless it just makes the game too dumbly hard and everything is just bullet sponges.

Survival is Hard but with 3x the HP. Its literally bullet sponge mode.

I'm still not sure how to feel about this game yet. i may just be having weird luck when running around but does the game feel alot more...lifeless to anyone else? I know that's a little weird to say about a post-apocalyptic game but so far it seems all I find is logs and corpses no matter where I go. No interesting towns with their own quests, no quirky weirdos in the middle of nowhere with their own thing going on. The closest thing iv'e seen to one of these places is my own settlement.

Maybe i'm just used to New Vegas so much. Still, i'm really not sure how much i'm gonna like fallout 4 in the long run at this point.

OK, I have a horrible confession to make. I never grew out of the arrow-key controls that I learned as a child of the mid-90s. Meaning I use arrow keys for movement, num-0 for jump, shift for sprint, etc. This scheme has served me well for nigh on 20 years and I've never been able to adapt to WASD. Now, the rub: Num-0 is a reserved button that cannot be remapped. Someone please tell me there's a way around this awful limitation. I literally cannot jump and that's a non-starter obviously :(

There any benefit to just starting a new game if I'm having tons of glitches? I'm about 2 hours in and I've had 2 mandatory quests just break (something doesn't get triggered and I can't proceed any farther).

So far New Vegas was a lot less buggy at launch, and that's saying a lot.

The game gets better after you reach around level 10 or so. There's just so much boring padding going on early in the game and you have to stick with it for any of the interesting stuff to pop up. Don't hang back and level up too much before you hit Diamond City, there's not much point.

I believe it was an master lock if I recall. So I think you need 3 points in lock picking available at level 18.

Got a hard copy (because internet is terrible in Australia) and then was pleasantly surprised that 18 gigs needed to be downloaded.

So I stayed up late, then when I finally got around to the game I completely ignored the plot in favour of playing dollies with Sanctuary and upgrading my 10mm and double barrel until 3:00 AM.

I cannot find enough copper.

Doing a solid for a mate today and having them drop by work with a hard drive to pickup the files - I'm out at a clients public office being a pretty face, there is nothing to do here and very little capacity to work remotely, so I'm wishing I still had some brick of a laptop that could run F4 rather than the dainty ultra light thing that does spreadsheets and isometric rpgs well. Oh well, Fallout 2 it is :haw:

Give up now. There are so many unbelievably stupid things about rebinding keys in this game that you are going to be completely, 100% unable to perform some actions if you aren't using wasd, and all of the menu poo poo is going to make you move your hands over to the opposite side of the keyboard from your arrow keys. Hope you have a controller.

You have got to be loving kidding me; the game map model still has some placeholders. Not even 3 hours in, on a sidequest right after the first help bandit one...

If it helps, the keyboard controls suck for everyone :v:

I'm using a 360 controller, which is somehow much easier to remap than keyboard/mouse controls which I find absolutely hilarious. I basically did what I could to turn the 360 controls into something that resembles sanity (jump on Y? Pip-boy on B? the gently caress is this?) and I'm happier for it. It helps that I've played too much Destiny recently so aiming with controller sticks isn't too bad for me.

Those are not placeholders. They are LOD textures that are supposed to not appear when you are close to the area. Reloading the area will probably fix it.

That bug has also been around since Oblivion.

That's not a placeholder--other Bethesda games do the same thing. It's something about a mesh or texture not being loaded when it's supposed to, so you're still seeing the ultra low-detail and/or LOD stuff while up close.
