Pretty sure I've got pcie 3.0. I've still got dual gtx 470s so it would be nice to just plop in a new video card and be fine for several more years. I really want a new motherboard that has usb 3.0 though.

gpu is the bottleneck for 95% of games, get a 970 for 300 bucks and youll be able to run pretty much everything until the next console gen since every multiplatform game is built to console spec first

Playing with an overclocked i5-4690k/970 combo and I'm playing in 4k with a comfortable 50-60fps. Really well optimized for a launch-day Bethesda product. No gamebreakers for me thus far. (Still waiting!)

Game is cool, went blind into this so I thought my character was going to be the son...

So now I am playing as a 1950 former lawyer turned hardass detective girl.

Right now I changed my face to Hitler and I'm wearing Road Warrior armor with a sea captain hat. Also picked up a unique Walther PPK with suppressor. I sneak around headshotting people.

Yup. The big sentry bots also expose two cores on their back after firing in order to cool down, and you can shoot those too.

So turns out you were an abusive husband that used to drink hand sanitizer and beat the poo poo out of your wife and child. She staged her death and kidnapped her son, seeking refuge in an Enclave safe house for abused wives. You turn up and use your Charisma skill to convince the Enclave social workers that you're from Child protective services. Then you feed your whore wife to some mole rats and ride off in to the sunset with your son on your new pet Deathclaw, Pickles.

Last night computer decided to reboot for updates on me while in the Fort Hagen Command Center, so I probably lost all progress from the door onward. Of course had it not I'd probably have stayed up even later than I already did.

For the next game I'm kind of hoping they go back to a character that doesn't have a set backstory.

That's why I've mostly been bringing Piper along. Don't bring Codsworth anywhere you want to sneak around, he likes to crash into those can noise-maker things.

Dogge, the most brave and noble of companions, boldly rushed forward into combat to save me and got blown up by a Super Mutant Suicider. I freaked out and mashed quickload. :( Not sure if I should keep bringing dogge into the unknown like that.

But he finds so many items and he's a good dogge. :smith:
