User reviews are a poo poo metric for getting any meaningful information. As are most other reviews, but you have a slightly higher chance of possibly getting a single tidbit of usable information out of someone not getting a 2 inch chub off dropping a sick burn on an aggregate review site.

A game can't be merely "alright" anymore, you've gotta tie your identity to it before it's even available and ride the neogaf rollercoaster until it flies off the rails into an orphanage.

They did it, the absolute madmen, they made fallout combat fun

I'm currently running around with a hunting rifle with a bayonet on it. It's so fun to stab stuff in the middle of shots that I think I'm gonna take my strength from 2 to 8 just to spec for bash damage

The game does a shitpiss job of explaining its armor layers system, but Tuxedos and other "outfit" type clothing will occupy both your jumpsuit and all of your armor slots. Don't wear them except for funsies. Jumpsuits are different, they only take up your "underlayer" and you can equip armor pieces on top of them.

I had a feeling this would be the case, I want to dress up fancy AND be defensible :( Guess I can wait for mods for that.

How many Power Armor frames are there? So far I've found 6.

Additionally, I went looking for the X-01 armor, and it was not in the spot youtube found it in. Anyone yet find it, or is it based on your level? If it's based on level I am going to be furious.

I'm digging the game so far, haven't played too much just picking up some trash and shooting some fools, looking at the perks etc. Initial impression is good though, it pretty much feels like Fallout 3 to start. And I did like Fallout 3 for the record.

My guy looks a bit like Lemmy of Motorhead fame (and godhood fame), Kilmister. I didn't intend to make Lemmy, it just happened, like the power of rock n roll possessed the game!

I'm running around with 1 endurance on Survival and I think it's fun. Enemies can be a little damage-spongey sometimes though, but only really the special ghouls and super mutants so far.

My aim tends to be off somehow though. I think it's the mouse acceleration.

Apart from drinking, there is absolutely nothing to do here.
I feel like I'm cheating stealth-sniping. On lvl 5. :smith:

I went in a Motor Factory to kill that Raiders guy to help first village and I snipe every mutherfucker in there (I even somehow got a sniper modded drum-magazine .38 sniper rifle from one of the raiders, so now I don't need to waste that .223 ammo).
Thing is if you able to kill anyone with a headshot and in stealth, other people give up chasing you in like 5-10 seconds, and you can get back and kill another one until last one of them is dead. More of it, I have AGI - 3, which is :mediocre: I guess, I just stay in darker corners and not sprint all the time. I feel like with proper AGI and perks you can run in front of enemies undetected all the time.



And I got question too. Does this game have any real weapon, not one made from scrap metal, poo poo and sticks by local Minmatars?

I imagine if they didn't, you could get things to a point where it wasn't really possible to fix it, so I get why they did it. Better that than some shitass reviewer complaining about a "bug" caused by them overwhelming the area with objects.

So far all I've seen is VATS being useless, many more bullet sponges, tons of jumpy "recoil", seemingly infinite range 100% accuracy enemy molotovs and everything now takes cover. The next game better be about tracking down and murdering the rear end in a top hat who taught Deathclaws to hide.

Oh, and the Fat Man is now so common raiders have them. Also rockets seem to share grenades' perfect accuracy.

I might need to wait for a UI mod before I start playing this again. I'm willing to engage with the base building stuff but holy poo poo that UI is awkward as gently caress with kb+m.

I'd be cool with using a controller, but for some reason my 360 controller has a bug where the cursor skips every other menu item, main menu and Pip-boy. Does anyone know anything about this bug?
