Everyone in this thread's gonna buy it and have over 4000 hours play time, like they did with Oblivion, Fallout 3, New Vegas and Skyrim, the graphics aren't the best but they are far from terrible, infact, graphics are the last thing I'd give a poo poo about in Fallout. All I want is to wear future robot armour and shoot lasers at mutated dudes/shopkeepers/dogs, everything else is secondary.

Might as well put this in here, Chris Avellone has left Obsidian to pursue new projects http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-09-chris-avellone-leaves-obsidian-entertainment I wonder how this will affect Obsidian in the future if they ever do work on a new Fallout game.

Peztopiary posted:Historically, Bethesda hasn't done right by PlayStation when it comes to Fallouts. Weren't 3 and NV unplayable due to memory bloat? It took nearly 12 patches to finally make Skyrim properly playable on PS3, and we got the DLC's in reverse order because of all the troubles they had implementing them, Dragonborn was released first, followed by the House Building DLC and Dawnguard last.

Mordaedil posted:Wait, when and where was LGBT dialog choices confirmed? Because all I've heard so far is that Bethesda has shied away from allowing you to define your sexuality and instead force one on you. I don't think you'll be shackled to someone who may have died in nuclear fire, unless you want to forever play as a grieving widower type I suppose.

Lotish posted:One of my favorite moments in Fallout 3 on my (first) 360 was when a power station's geometry exploded and bits of it were rendered in long stretches across the wasteland, one side visible and the other not. I was one of those unfortunate people who downloaded The Pitt for Fallout 3 on the day it was released for 360, there was giant exclamation marks where ingame items would be, the bridge leading to the Pitt itself was a death zone as it wasn't properly rendered so you'd die to radiation the moment you touched specific parts of it, raiders were flying into the sky, and the moment you tried to enter the Pitt proper at the end of the bridge, the game would lockup. Bethesda had accidentally released an unfinished version of the DLC and it was quickly removed and replaced, but not after us early people got to play this hilarious mess.

I think Sanctuary is now a safe place to live, I have left it being defended by 8 Gun Turrets, 3 of which are laser turrets, and I have set up a few guard posts which my laser toting Settlers are wandering back and forth to, and I spent more time than I should have building walls everywhere so there's only one point of entry, the main bridge, which my own house is near, and has 4 gun turrets facing it.

Well I fired Dogmeat for Colin Moriarty's long lost sister Cait, and she's a pretty amusing follower, she's incredibly Irish though, the only thing she's missing from the stereotype list is that she's not a drunk.

At least Dogmeat doesn't care if you rob a store or kill a settler, he just woofs at you like usual but most companions get pissy with you, except Cait who is the evil companion, there's probably other evil ones around but I've not found them yet.

I really hope he didn't die defending my honor but he seemed like a pretty loyal pal sooo Never fear, Dogmeat is immortal, he's been shot by Mini Nukes and walked away afterwards in my game.

Something that does annoy me is Super Mutants wielding Missile Launchers, they seem to have pinpoint accuracy and they blow you up in a single shot, or completely cripple you which is nearly as bad, I can't get angry at the Suicide Bombers with Mini Nukes though, it's hilarious.

blueberrysmith posted:Is there actually a point to building out settlements? I've been skilling up towards Local Leader but I'm starting to feel like that was a pointless endeavor since I just dump all my poo poo in the same place anyway. What's the point of supply lines in that case? Am I doing this all wrong? I don't really give a poo poo about building a pretty house, I just want to endlessly snipe things. The game never forces you to build Settlements, it's just there if you like base building and can be 100% ignored if you don't.

Broken Cog posted:It's kind of a meme among a lot of people that "Man, Bethesda is so mad that Obsidian made a good game" or something. It's not the first time I've heard it, but I haven't really seen anything to verify it. It's mainly come from people defending noble Obsidian's honor from the big meanies at Bethesda, even though Obsidian have said time and time again they'd be delighted to do another Fallout game, so there's still hope for New Vegas 2, I guess.

Baronjutter posted:So ever since the very first quest that gives you power armour with low batteries I've never worn it, I've also found the game incredibly hard. One of the first quests they send you to a factory to kill some mercentaries and there's like 50 of them and I'm in there with absolute scrub weapons and almost no ammo. Think of the suit as super mode, only using it in the toughest fights to stride amongst your enemies like a Steel God.

If anyone's wondering how to unlock companion quests, just do things they approve of, for Cait as an example, drink booze, pick locks and be a sarcastic rear end in a top hat to everyone in conversation and she'll eventually open up and give you a quest. Of course the time she chose to give me her personal quest was right in the middle of Super Mutant territory so her heartfelt conversation had Super Mutants yelling "DIE NOW HUMAN" and "STUPID LADY" in the distance.

It's very similar to the system in Dragon Age Origins where you would piss Morrigan off by helping people or doing anything nice but if you gave her gifts, she'd love you, this could be done with every companion.

Just had my first Sanctuary Invasion, I fast traveled back there to drop off my new Brotherhood of Steel Power Armor and I was greeted by the sounds of gunfire and lasers and a large, angry crowd of Super Mutants were menacing my turrets which I had placed on top of buildings for just such an event, my settlers, all 18 of them, where doing their own thing, which was firing wildly at the mutants. I'm glad I was still wearing my Power Armor, things could have been worse without it.

I planted a bunch of crap so my food+water way exceeded my defense, and immediately got attacked by a herd of feral ghouls, except they just ran into one of my walls for five minutes until I found them and they aggro'd on me. Did they not expect people would make walls? Probably not, most people would probably let Gun Turrets do the brunt of the work.

The Glowing Sea's a pretty cool location to stomp around in with Power Armor on, they should change the name to Radscorpia though for how many of the loving things I've killed while down there though, seen a few Deathclaws sleeping ontop of rocks in the distance too, that was pretty tense.

It's probably because Corvega is a very vertical stage and the Bandits are firing at you from both above and below you, and are rather accurate with Molotovs, not to mention again, a new player will head there very early on armed with maybe a Pipe Gun and probably the Vault 111 suit which isn't that hot for protection. Then there's the Power Armoured Raider with the Fat Man stationed outside the place who will probably blow you up a few times.
