My Fallout 4 issues: No grenade use in VATS, which sucks as having to hold the button to throw in real time is cumbersome and I'd like to be able to quickly launch one. Power Armour seems a bit eh, you need to know you might need it in advance (or have like infinite fusion cores) so you can go back to wherever you stored it. It doesn't feel powerful when tiny little mirelurk hatchlings destroy a piece of leg armour easily and when a piece armour is fully damaged it automatically shoves itself into your inventory using up weight till you go repair it. Why not have it not count for DR purposes when damaged but still keep it attached to the frame?

While I agree that design choice is annoying and perplexing, I'm pretty sure the parts have 0 weight. To add my own annoyance is scraping junk is kind of obtuse. There's a couple ways to do it but I'd really like to be able to do it from a menu and dump the materials in my inventory directly like I can with weapons and armor.

Cleretic posted:But I don't want to play as a straight, married parent. On a similar note the voiced protagonist bugs me since it means there have to be fewer dialogue choices than there else wise could be. It'll also create a further gulf between vanilla content and any mod content which is something Bethesda should probably avoid in their core design with how much people love modding their games. Indeed the dialogue mechanic in general seems like it may limit modders in some substantial ways. Also they did the same thing with the dialogue that I hated in Mass Effect where they give you a small phrase that only vaguely represents what my character is going to say when I click it. Just put the whole line there on the screen so I actually know what I'm making my character say.

I wish I could have a better way to see who is assigned to what job so I can make sure all these fuckers are contributing. I wish the settlers could figure it out for themselves more. I don't mind making the big decisions & doing the construction but don't want to have to bother with all the micromanaging malarky.

My experience with building so far is making a prefab tiny thing and sticking four beds wherever the gently caress the game would let me. Not impressed so far. Have to get a clean source of water and I have no idea or resources on how to do it.

Also now I learned I need to get EVERYTHING if I wanna mod and upgrade my gear. You can use coffee mugs to make better guns, and I did not know that and have been coffee mugless the entire game so far.

Eventually you learn what's good and what's garbage, so that kinda turns it into a plus for me. You get better at looting, as a player! Also learning you can cook your own Adhesive ended up saving me a lot of headache.

The one thing that is really dragging down FO4 for me is that if you leave your Power Armor unattended your own followers can hijack it. It happened once while I was fighting some really overpowered nasty and gently caress get out of my ride! Now I just remove the Fusion Core whenever I park the armor that isn't in a power armor station. It's like taking the keys to my car.

On the plus side, you can order people into power armor (like to man guard towers or follow you around), on the negative side I don't think there's dog power armor, and it doesn't improve follower carry weight maximum

If some BoS guard or whatever in power armor is giving you guff you can pick pocket his fusion core. He'll casually step out of the armor and then continue acting like a big shot. It's pretty funny.

I've played fallout 4 for just an hour or two and I'm enjoying it but there is a huge problem with textures I'm having where many textures are extremely low-res because I think it's only loading the LOD versions of them. This includes ones that are extremely hard to ignore like the billboard right outside the vault you exit at the start of the game. Not my screenshot but this is roughly what it looks like for me, only even worse because I'm on a 560 and need to keep other graphics settings lower. People on 980s with SSDs are getting the exact same problem though, and putting textures to ultra with 16x anisotropic filtering does nothing. It's very inconsistent, where plants and my character's face will be fine but structures and clothes will look awful, and the contrast is really jarring. Just going through the world has been downright ugly so far and it's very hard to ignore. Owl Inspector has a new favorite as of 02:50 on Nov 14, 2015 |

Yeah, I've stuffed my pockets with garbage every time I go on a quest (it's a Bethesda game after all) and have never really been short on crafting materials aside from the poo poo that's intentionally really scarce. The game unfortunately never explains this anywhere but once you figure it out it works pretty nicely.

But there's a big one that's been staring me in the face, that I don't think I could reasonably ever fix.  As an immersion sperg, I just don't want to play as the kind of person who'd be idyllic and happily settled in Fallout's awful pre war dystopia. It's like if Skyrim started you as a happily married Thalmor interrogator enjoying an early retirement (wait no that would be awesome)

In Fallout 4 if you play as the wife, and set your intelligence to literally the lowest possible setting, you still have a law degree. Dunno if that's Bethesda being dumb or brilliant though.

What's dragging Fallout 4 down for me is that it's only easy to build on flat ground which there's gently caress all of. No wonder people are looking to me for help if i'm building them hovering houses to live in.

Add that as another thing I don't like about their defining the protagonist, then. I'd have thought they would at least have the sense to recognize that people with different jobs would have different approaches to post-apocalyptia, given how they themselves directly played on that in Fallout 3's character creation. But no. They're either that stupid, stubborn or ignorant of why people actually enjoy their games that they've decided to declare that one, too.

What's even the point in giving the player a strongly pre-determined background in Fallout 4? The PC in New Vegas who was shot in the head on a delivery job, but who came back from the dead, gives a lot of lee-way in how that character's past went and how their future will go. It's a set-up for loads of role-playing opportunities, which the game provides. The PC can choose to favour an over-stretched democracy, a regressive autocracy, a pragmatic business-empire, or push their luck and go independent. The PC in Fallout 4 was in a hetero-marriage with a son, only for their spouse to be killed and their son kidnapped. The PC's quest is to find their son. That's not back-story and motivation, that's just baggage that needlessly limits role-playing. This isn't the "The Last of Us", it's a sandbox RPG. No players are going to give enough of a poo poo to make finding their uncanny-valley infant-son, whom they knew for all of five minutes, a priority. Does a setting this colourful need the old "It's Personal" cliche to get the ball rolling? Inspector Gesicht has a new favorite as of 01:40 on Nov 15, 2015 |

It ain't just that, the whole dialogue system is weak as hell, as much as I hate this term cause it feels so elitist, the game feels incredibly simplified in almost all aspects, even the world feels a bit strange, like you have this zone that's insanely full of people and the rest of the map feels so barren and empty.

I know this doesn't mean a whole lot, especially right now, but Fallout 3 is higher on Metacritic. By five points critically, which is quite a lot for the high end of things. The user ratings are 8.0 to 5.1, which even assuming reflexively lovely reviews is HUGE. Cleretic has a new favorite as of 03:14 on Nov 15, 2015 |

When NV came out all I remember is people talking about how broken it was. The most positive reviews I remember reading at launch were basically "If you can get past the frequent gamebreaking bugs there is a really rewarding experience". It feels like it took the better part of a year for it to reach the almost godly reputation it has now.
