I'm gonna be a normal white guy that self-identifies as a Ghoul with an otherkin taking the persona of an anthropomorphic pony.

I believe Fallout 4 can be unlocked 6 hours earlier on monday by using a vpn to london.

Can I unlock it 18 hours earlier by using a VPN to New Zealand?

No, he means the game will crash sometimes when you use a terminal.

Echoing the sentiments about looting, interactions, and shooting. Also the way power armor and weapons mods work is cool. There's an actual reason to stockpile random crap now.

Just make sure your motherboard can support PCI Express 3.0.

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.

You could just throw in a PCI-X x1 card that has USB3.0.

My roommate was rattling off some of the criticism that's been leveled toward FO4 and it sounded like it had been ripped right out of games:

"You can't just be a dick to people and be evil. So it's really limited the role playing settings."

"The interactions are too simplified so you can't see exactly what you're going to say to people."

"The crafting process is too easy now."

He also said Skyrim was bad and plays Eve so I don't really value his opinion on computer games.

Is there a way to make new weapons like in the previous games? I've found a few lunchbox mines in the wasteland but can't find a way to make more.

Maybe unlocked as a perk?

I just got into an insane 15 minute long fight with a group of super mutants at the relay station near the national guard training facility. Brother of Steel flew in and were engaging them as well, until a nuclear suicide bomber took out half their contingent.

Do your guns like level up with you or something? I have some that I've had forever that wreck poo poo with minimal upgrades and whenever I get a new one it does like 5 damage.

Steam controller owns pretty hard for this game.

I've had the disappearing weapon glitch, constant left input bug, and occasionally the game won't properly exit out of big picture mode.

Got a steam link already and a steam controller arriving this week. Pretty stoked to play it on my TV.

I bought brand new everything last year for around $1500 (including 2 monitors) and am able to play Far Cry 4, Witcher 3, and FO4 on max settings. So if you're willing to drop about a grand you could probably get something pretty nice.

Hell, the 250 GB EVOs are on sale like twice a month on Newegg for usually around $80. I just keep picking them up and adding them to my RAID.

Squire from one of the earlier BoS missions is literally dressed like a Hitler youth. And tells you that he can't wait to watch you cleanse the commonwealth of undesireables.

This game is the GiPpest of games.

the game is made to run on consoles. thats why it has these weird as poo poo fps issues with animations breaking when you pick locks and use terminals

That still doesn't explain it, because the Xbone and the PS4 both use multicore processors.

if survival mode was like the hardcore mode in NV it would be a lot better. but nope its you do less damage, heal slower, get hit harder, and have to do 50x more damage to kill anything.

Yeah I imagine the modding community will fix this shortly.

So I got inside The Institute.

Is meeting "father" the actual end of the game/main story line, or does it keep going after that? I've run some missions for them, but I haven't had any missions in the entire southern half of the city so I'm assuming there's more.

Yeah I opted to go with the Institute because the BoS is boring and the railroad is cool but meh. Some of the fight sequences are pretty cool.
