I've been playing this on my MSI gaming laptop which has a g-sync screen and a GTX 980M. When I started the game it pre-set the game to Ultra and I've had zero problems running it. All seems to run smoothly and rarely get any dramatic fps drops. I've had one crash to desktop but that was after playing for about 6 hours..... I'm pretty impressed with the laptop but more importantly really enjoying Fallout 4
I thought it was quite slow going to start with but I'm really enjoying. I do think the settlement stuff should have been explained better. The tutorial hardly tells you anything. I spent quite a bit of time watching youtube videos or reading online about how you do certain things for it. I wanted my character to be a crafter so the settlement thing was a big deal for me, I was sorely disappointed with the lack of explanation. One of the big things was Trade routes, when I picked up Local Leader rank 1 I had no idea how to set up these trade routes or what they even do.... only after watching a video explaining how to do it and what it does I thought oh ok that’s very cool ! means I can pool my resources rather than having stuff scatter in different camps. I don’t know if the people I assign as traders are able to get attacked on the road between settlements or not, either way I’ve geared them up so hopefully they don’t die. I’m working on one giant camp rather than lots of little ones
Although as Goose said I wish you could assign beds to people.... they moan constantly about lack of beds, I have 18 people (roughly) in the camp and have 25 beds made... yet they still moan. It’s also a bit annoying not being able to assign as some settlers keep stealing my bed in the house I made for me ! I have to kick them out if I need a quick power nap lol.
One of the mods I have found (can’t link because at work.... lol) which has been fantastic it allows you craft pretty much anything in the game. So you can make “Junk items” but some of the junk items look really cool as decor. Also enables me to make guns and ammo which I was happy with. I feel the material requirements are quite fair and does just let you get uber weapons easily, nor does it allow you to craft legendaries either. But great for making some decentish weapons for settlers.
I decided to go into Lone Wanderer perk as that’s the sort of character I wanted to be. Just me and ma Dog(meat). I feel that perk works very well and I find dogmeat quite useful at pinning enemies so I can headshot them, and he can also carry a fair bit of extra stuff if I get overloaded. There are times I feel I am missing out a bit by not having a proper companion, but some of the possible companions have really just annoyed me anyways lol.
