This is probably super obvious and I'm completely missing something, but how do I raise the SPECIAL stat I want to raise. I thought that when you level up you pick a perk from the stat category you want and that raises your stat, but apparently that's not the case? Or is it? I'm a little confused.

Open your pip-boy and press T to bring up the level up menu. It should prompt you to pick a SPECIAL stat to raise. Once you choose a stat it'll let you pick a perk card. Note, it will default to showing you cards for the SPECIAL stat you chose but you can switch between stats with Z and C.

Powershift posted:seriously, you should hate yourself if you "pre-ordered" this Yeah, no. I pre-ordered this, and I had fun playing the four or so hours I played it. I will probably not get hundreds of hours out of it like I did Fallout: New Vegas/Skyrim/Fallout 4 but I am sure I will play it enough to get my money's worth out of it. And if I get 30 hours of enjoyment out of it, that's about the same amount of time it took me to complete and 99% collect Tomb Raider. A game that I also played $60 for. You can call it a lovely game all you want, you are entitled to your opinions. But the minute you say I am a bad person for likeing a video game you can gently caress straight off.

Only took 10 times or so before I could connect to a server. Maybe this would have gone better if they released earlier on Xbox?

So you are locked into picking a stat before seeing any perk cards associated with the level ups. That's loving stupid.

The point is you can pick one stat, but choose a card for another. If you don't have the points to equip an extra card for that stat, hit back, pick the stat you saw the card you want to equip, then you can equip it on top of what you have. But seeing as you get extra cards from perk packs, there may be a point you pick to level strength, but choose an endurance card. You could equip a strength card you already had in your "deck" now that you have an extra point, then swap the new endurance card for one you had equipped.

That is dumb. I think you are doing something wrong because that isn't how it works. You get to pick a stat then a card. If you back out after picking a stat but before picking a card nothing gets applied.

Had a great time playing with the roommate using new characters kitted out by the ones from the BETA. So cool to share Fallout with friends, even though none of my friends will ever be as cool as Cass from New Vegas.

Donovan Trip posted:I think (hope) Microsoft has learned some good lessons, and is able to let them make a fantastic new RPG. Given how well Sea of Thieves turned out, I'm hopeful about it. InXile's still working on Wasteland 3 as well, so it'll be interesting to see if and how that changes given greater resources availability. Someone pry the fallout rights away from Bethesda and get us a real sequel to New Vegas.

I'm kind of jealous honestly. I haven't had the time to finish more than the one game per year and there's at least half a dozen every year hyped, some of them even good.

So how hard is it to get nukes? Is it practical for a single person to collect all the codes by themselves?

You need 8 and they expire. Also, the silo's are apparently pretty tough to get through, and then you still need to figure out how to launch with the codes :p

Played four-or-five hours, level 8, just got to Morgantown after a side trip to Top of the World. It feels less like Fallout and more like I’m playing The Stand. Mainly because the world is still “put together” and looks like we’re just waiting for people to come pick up and pieces and start back over, as opposed to a nuked-out landscape (especially since technically Morgantown is only an hour/hour-and-a-half from the Pitt). That said, still having a blast. The only time I’ve hooked up with other players were when Events popped up on the map. They feel hit-or-miss. They’re either a lot of fun and you get a good chunk of loot to break down/junk (the one near the base of the Top of the World ridge where you have to defend an Eyebot repairing a Scorched Detection System) or a waste of ammo (escorting Steelheart through Morgantown). Other than that, I’m playing solo, taking my time, scavenging everything, and listening to all the holotapes. I don’t see myself hooking up with other players until I finish most of the quests/stories just because I don’t want to miss anything if people are just rushing, even if the main storyline is, as always, the weakest part of any Bethesda game.

Should have called it Fallout: Early Access. Because it's a prequel. And it's buggy.

I'm like level 12 and I already filled up my stash. Can you store non scrap stuff in the containers you can craft for your CAMP and leave them in there safely? Can you pick up the containers and store them and still have the stuff in there? If you're limited to 400lbs of scrap only that would be much more bearable.

Also do you get anything for leveling past 50 atm besides more perk cards? Is it like Fallout 4 where your HP was tied to level or is it entirely dependent on Endurance?
