Fallout 4

[DeepT]

I’m making some last minute adjustments to my build but I’m a little confused about some perks. For example there’s a perk that increases damage with Big Guns and then you got perks that increase full auto weapons damage (Commando). Do these two stack in case of Minigun or is Commando reserved for auto weapons that previously fell into Small Arms category (fullauto pistols, smgs, ARs)?

I would assume the commando perk is for assault rifles and such. I would assume the bug guns perks are just for big guns, ie: You wear them and/or they have a very high STR requirement.

Yes, I am running on a sager with 680m. Doesn’t dip below 60fps.

Autodetect gave it Medium with low shadows and most of the fancy stuff off. I don’t notice.

Excellent! I was going to just play it on my PS4, but I love the modding of Bethesda open world games, plus I love being able to play wherever I like (wrt it being on a laptop.)

Inventory tip:

Transfer your junk to the workshop. It appears it gets automatically dismantled for crafting.

Does it take scrapper perk into account?

Pretty safe to assume they don’t stack.

Sigh, I guess I already suspected that. Would it really kill the devs (not just Bethesda, in general) to write tooltips that are not so vague?

I’m surprised by how many of the buildings are just set pieces that can’t be explored.

So I’m one of the idiots that pre-ordered on FunStock Digital because they had the best price at the time. They have not been having a good stretch of days. Last week they had issues distributing Black Ops 3 keys to customers and did things like giving the same key to multiple customers. They decided to delay FO4 key distribution to today to fix their distribution system. That’s fine, no preload for me. Today the traffic demand for FO4 keys bascially DDOSed their site all day. Apparently they did not have the bandwidth to accommodate the traffic demand and the site is still throwing up 503 errors and such. I would be upset if I actually had much time to play the game or if I had taken off days from work, but that is not my situation. They also don’t seem to have an email system in place to email your key to you. The only access point is their site which has been offline all day. On the upside the state of their website (a wasteland) is thematically getting me in the mood for the game whenever I can retrieve my key! :-)

Sorry if any of you ordered from there too.

Ouch. Got mine from GMG, which worked fine, mailed out keys several days in advance.

Knowing Bethesda, they made things simple: every weapon has a single weapon type. That’s it. In fact in all Fallout games there hasn’t been any “multi-weapon class” thing, thing were big guns, energy guns, small guns, etc, one of them.

So I don’t think two perks can be applied to the same weapon.

I went from meh to OMG its out soon , over the course of the last like 24 hours.

Nvidia drivers are installed and Steam is downloading the game now. :D

[Nithrakis]

I’m having a blast with the workshop stuff. I didn’t expect this – it’s Hearthfire done right.

I’m hoping a version of it makes it into the next TES game.

I am debating platform. I have an older PC that has a higher end i3 (really solid about 1.5 years ago) and a nvidia 760 (I think) card on Windows 7. I’m wondering if I should go PC or PS4. Any thoughts?

Also are there any good deal to be had via retail, GMG, etc?

Thanks. This will be my first Fallout since Tactics. Please don’t let me down Bethesda*.

• Bethesda titles kinda turn me off with their inhuman / robotic NPCs that creepily stare at you as you walk by. The wierd combat systems, long winded conversation trees, and easily broken progression systems don’t help either.

Here’s the full list of names that Codsworth will say with VO in-game if you pick one as your character’s name.

You actually could, I believe, since some affect things like silenced weapons, which can also be non automatic weapons.

Where did these names come from?

Vicens but not Valerie? Weird.

Has anyone played around with fov settings yet? If I force it with fDefaultWorldFOV=100 and fDefault1stPersonFOV=100 in the ini files the gun/arms seem to retain their original size but if I change fov via console it properly stretches the arms and moves the weapon away from the player (which is what I want). The problem is that the command gets reset as soon as the console is closed. Any workaround for this?

Lupe it is! Does it unlock midnight EST or midnight in your time zone?
