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

I'm loving it, how can you play for 8 hours and not see anyone, walking in circles or something?

Typical Bethesda game, ignore the main quest until ranked up and do the side quests, I've been playing for about 7 hours, have loads of missions on the go and loads of settlements

Couple of things are irritating me though, I cant find any Gears which I need for building stuff they seem rare and most gun mods need Adhesive, seems I pick stuff up like Glue but never seem to have any Adhesive when back at the Workshop :confused:

If you explored for 8 hours and didn't find anyone then you and badboy are doing something wrong or the most unlucky people in the world.

More to the point, if you just don't like it, why force yourself to play? surely you have better things to be doing?

I never understand that, playing a game you hate, to moan on the interwebs that you don't like it.

Yeah, quite a few in here like that. Strange. Lol.

I found loads of people and kept ending up with side quests when I was trying to get my backlog of active quests down. Maybe the reason some people not enjoying it is because they are playing it wrong.

At the very least you just start the main quest and that would keep you going for 10 hours.

I have completed around 70 quests so far and already know 2-3 places from the top of my head where I can start new quests. Then there is entering all those locations I found but did not explore yet.

Spent about 50 hours in this game so far, there is a good 50 more worth of content easily. Currently level 44, by level 60 I should have all my special points 10 :D

On the verge of uninstalling. Every hour I force myself to play it becomes more and more disappointing.

I have spent 8 hours exploring and I've found a whopping two random people. First guy told me he had somewhere important to be and gave me 5 caps. Second guy I don't actually think counts. He was just a panicked farmer running away from a mole rat. It also took me 6 hours to find a vendor. 6 hours!! This cat lover in the middle of nowhere. WTF is everyone?

The world is so empty and devoid of NPC interaction. If I spent 8 hours roaming around in any of Besthesda's game prior to this, I'd have met dozens of NPCs and a journal now overflowing with quests and stuff to do.

In this, it is so deserted it's just one junk filled building after another. And the building that has a load screen will have lots of baddies + junk. Oh yeah and lets not get started on the crude dialog or the removal of karma/reputation mechanic.

Speaking of hostiles. I'm at the Police Station fending off ghouls that are being spawn scripted out of thin air - right in front of me. LOL.

Fallout 4. A boring, uneventful open-world FPS with shoddy scripted game play.

at least I managed to get a full refund on the Season Pass DLC. Wonder when Fallout 5 using the same game engine will appear :rolleyes:
 
I'm getting tired of pumping bullet after bullet into some enemies and they're still standing, even head shots. It's kinda stupid, roll on the 1 shot 1 kill mod.

I've actually been doing the main story (terrible so far) and Ive yet to encounter anyone other than a doctor and plot-placed Raiders.
 
Had a few CTD last night with nvidia display driver has not responded but recovered. Sometimes was after 10 min. Then changed some settings in nvidia control panel and it lasted 2 hours but still annoying mashing f5 because I don't know when it will happen. Anyone managed to fix theirs?

Looking the wrong way. And at night so no shadows.

WOW!

Ignore coreclock, its RTSS glitching.

You didnt specify your settings either. Besides, do it right rather than wrong. I said "look down on the town" not "The Capital City in the Distance with LOW LOD Models and Zero Shadows"

Are you sure your clock core isn't at fault here?
It would actually make good sense, that you're getting half the frames of everyone else, when your core is half the value of everyone else.

Any reason you are plugging all your points into SPECIAL, and not actually selecting the various perks that are available, and leveling the perks also?
 
Is power armor mandatory? I guess I'm not looking hard enough but I've only found two suits and when they're broken I can't figure out how to repair it.

Without it it seems you get annihilated by anything that's not a bug or a raider.

I've barely used mine in 11 hours. Probably should as a number of times I've had my backside handed to me.
 
I'm just collecting them at the moment, got 3 sets on the go. I tend to run away from legendary enemies though as I'm only level 14 with metal armour, anything else is fair game.

"everyone else"

Damn you're such a hardcore fan of this game. "everyone else"
Yeah.. PS4 and One got the same issues at the same locations, and if you google (I even posted 2 Google Links for ya'll) you'll realise im not the only one.

And the guy "proving me wrong" wasnt even looking at the loaded town that he is in, instead hes looking at the capital miles away thats in low poly models.

Clock has nothing to do with it, MSI afterburner has its issues with some games where coreclock is reported wrong meanwhile GPUZ is showing the correct clock. (restarting MSI Afterburner after launching Fallout reports correct clocks anyway, 1391Mhz) So stop blaming it on anything but Bethesda. Get on with REALITY. Skyrim had similar Performance problems during release since it was HEAVILY CPU bound. And still is.
 
I'll never understand people's insistence in not doing the main quest in Bethesda games(and of course having to let everyone know they aren't doing it). I always find it better to do it straight away and then save the exploring until after, or at least mix it up. It sends you all over the world, you meet important character, you get unique items and stuff, it unlocks new features, it makes more sense.

Also, every game features a natural break in the narrative where just wandering around doing side quests is basically the main quest. I find it best to just wait until then.

I had a great session last night. Played for hours without a hitch. Flawless and beautiful performance. Had lots of fun and it felt all the better that I didn't need a Ti or Titan.

I'm off to stomp around corvega again. Smooth

Oh sorry for misunderstanding your continued rant.
Was just trying to be helpful ;)
I am playing the game, and enjoying it, GFX aside, not having a high end system I am playing at 1920*1200, and thankfully haven't encountered the issues you are having, I assume it is due to things defaulting to medium.
So I'll live with it, as I wanted to play the game, rather than watch the screenshots and framerates.
I hope you gain as much entertainment from ranting about poor GFX performance of consoles and your individual machine, as I do from playing the game.
