**** Official Fallout 4 Thread ****

Given up on settlement building. It is just a pointless distraction that only really adds more menus to sift through... And a way to waste pointless perks.

I'm probably gonna too, most of my time has been spent picking up type writers and fire exdingushers(if I'm lucky!) then filling the dogs inventory as well as mine, travelling back to settlement dropping the stuff off rinse and repeat... Good idea just far too time consuming.

Finished Witcher 3 so can go back to it and hope it improves with my new tactics of not giving a **** about buckets and teddy bears.
 
I'm really liking the game so far, although at times it feels like an expansion of rather than a sequel to. Has anyone found any vast caverns yet? Similar in scale to the ones in Skyrim?
 
Hi Guys. Wondering if you can help. In Vats, my execute crit bar is full, but the command to hit space is not available (the text is lighter, like it is greyed out) do I have to unlock this?

Yeah I think I will too, at least for now. In hindsight I wish I hadn't rushed the Local Leader perk and went with high charisma as it doesn't seem to have been worth it really. I thought the stores would give higher passive income but it seems low.

You can use industrial water purifiers to make a lot of caps though by selling the purified water they put into your workshop to your traders (Sanctuary can accommodate at least a dozen of them which generates a lot of purified water directly into your workshop inventory). So if you want to make money through settlements and lots of settlers I think this is probably the way to go for now.

I'm just tired of how difficult it is to line anything up. Settlements should really have a grid in place that you can snap to if you choose (toggle-able). Might move my built up settlement to one of the flat settlement areas to make it easier to develop without raging at the controls.

Love that they included it as I love base building sort of stuff in RPGs but the implementation is a bit poor. From what I hear also there is a settler cap of 15+your charisma too so there's a 25 settler cap supposedly which is disappointing.
 
They did a surprisingly amount of things right, but so, so much wrong too :( Never felt so conflicted about something in ages, and it is one of those rare times where I actually agree with the "a good game, but not a good [series/franchise] game" statement. Barely feels like an RPG anymore, more so a open world action game with character progression. Don't think mods can really fix the core game.

When you confirm your vats selection e.g. 3 head shots, you can then press space when your guy starts shooting to perform it.

This allows you to plan your kills quite well, as if you stack it with the perk which gives extra damage the more targets you hit, you can hit the first guy, then a second and then the third with a critical + bonus damage to insta-kill them, works well for super mutants and tough raiders. ;)
 
I know there are mods coming out for city build limits but if it is just one or two items you need and you are already maxed you can select it on the crafting menu and then find an item to reclaim lying around the floor. This lets you build the item you want to, even when you are at the limit.
 
Oh a little tip for people that I don't know if it's been posted yet.

In the cooking station there is a recipe under utility for Vegetable Starch. It requires 3 Corn, 3 Mutfruit, 3 Tato and 1 Purified water. It breaks down into 5 adhesive, which if you've been modifying your armor and weapons is incredibly rare. This is completely unlimited too once you have a farm setup somewhere for the 3 plants and a few industrial water purifiers set up somewhere which generate purified water.

Thanks for that.

I am loving the game. Have not had any issues or crashes, did auto detect an my hardware and somethings are at high and others low. Looks fine and runs well. No idea what the frame rate is but it is smooth to my eyes. Might tweak things when I get to the city to see if I can rinse any more from my hardware but overall the graphics are fine. I am not like a lot of you. I just want to play and if it looks alright then I will get on with it. I am running on a 3 year old i5, 16 gigs of Ram and a 7950. It certainly looks better than FO3.

Love the Base building. But I have never really done anything like that before (never touched minecraft or any like it before so that maybe why).

I can see myself getting lost in this for many months!
 
Settlement building would be much better if there were some bigger prefab buildings. I'd like to create a nice settlement, but it is tedious placing every wall etc especially with the interface we have to work with.
 
Gotta say, this is better (for me) with a gamepad. Cranking up the laser rifle gives you vibrations :D
