How many people are leaving their computers unlocked. I can just rock up and 'resume last user session' too easily.
I think there needs to be a security rethink or some training.

I'm making a list of people that have walked away from their screens and reporting them to their senior officers (although it does make getting information on top secret projects very easy)

The whole star map thing is really getting to me now, I have visited a lot of places but going back to them is a nightmare. I can only see this getting worse as I explore more, I dont really want to have to come off the game to check where a planet/moon/station is on google, surely a "take me to the den" would be much easier.

My Tom Tom is 2005 had a search recent or search destination on it, surely in a few hundred years we have not lost that functionality?

 

[TNA]

I don't get it.

Well, you made a joke about trying it when it is a tenner when you already have the game.

As you also may recall there is a ongoing joke about the game only being worth £25.

Unless you have managed to rid yourself of any memories involving your best mate @mrk then I thought you would get it

 

[TNA]

Did a stupid earlier. Was shooting these people on a moon outpost and couldn't work out why they wouldn't die. It's because I'm with crimson fleet and they had occupied it. It's a bit silly you can't kill people you are aligned with.

I don't think it has anything to do with being aligned per say. What it does have to do with is if that character is integral to the quest. Essentially if they died it would ruin any upcoming quests they were a part of.

At least that is how it seems to me.

We need a dlc that allows you to rent storage, like we have now IRL. Would be a good thing until you can build an all out storage facility yourself.

WOW!

Who cares if people mod the game to remove the pronoun choice! Also Kotaku screaming "BIGOTS"

Just read the comments and it's full of people swinging so far left, they fell off the chair

Actually this is one advantage of outpost building, you can build a ton of storage.

What losers. They are ditching a modding platform because they can't hide the word "they/them" which you see once at start up.

What cry babies. My unborn child is less of a cry baby than those people.

What did you rate the game now that you finished?

I was at 8.5 but feel I will land on 8 out of 10 in the end. Might go as high as 9 in 4-5 years after all DLC and mods are done.

I'm so glad it's upset these pathetic individuals. I mean it's so easily ignored anyway, if you select a male body it defaults to male pronouns, and if you select a female body it defaults to female pronouns. You can completely ignore the pronoun selector. They are so desperate to get upset by anything they consider "woke".

I'd give it a solid 8/10, im wondering whether i should stop now and wait for DLC's, updates etc to come before i continue NG+.

I'm not bored with the game by any means but i feel if i carry on now, i will start to feel abit bored eventually.

 

[mark43]

There is just so much stuff to pick up! I know this is a strange thing to criticise a game for, but I think even the myriad of abounded labs/outposts are too big!

I realised I must have spent a good 45 minutes clearing and then grabbing everything good, in just one abandoned UC outpost on a random moon. Once again picking up over 100 weight worth of bits and bobs (and no I didn't even collect any misc stuff).

The more I think about it though, the more I think I'm playing it wrong compared to previous titles. With the absurd amount of planets and procedurally generated "dungeons", I'm starting to think there really is no point spending ages clearing everything out for loot, as there will always be places like that to go to

This is a different concept to get ones head around compared to before, as in previous titles, you think that a hard lock has been put there for a reason, or some mysterious hidden cave has something special to find (as the developers actually made it and put stuff there themselves).

However I can't really break away from my usual way of playing these games and trying to find/grab everything. This just means I spend most of the game scanning all the clutter everywhere to see what to pick up and then having to sort out storage and sell stuff. As the poster wrote above, it becomes "Vendorfield".

I think that is where the phrase "less is more" really comes into this, and is something Bethesda should think about in future.

Yeah there is just so much random rubbish strewn about, I ignore most of it but then you can miss the odd useful item like the guides that give permanent stat boosts, it just makes searching around so tedious. I hardly loot anything now as you can carry so little anyway.

 

[Cantankerous]

Actually this is one advantage of outpost building, you can build a ton of storage.

That's true but it's not the easiest thing to access all of it since the transfer container has limited storage. When we need is the transfer container to provide access to all storage within the outpost, not only what it has in it's container.

I set mine up so I have 1 small storage in the centre of the extractors / resource generators linked to all of them, then link that small to a mass storage wall, then link one small storage beside the landing pad. This gives me a line of storage units beside the landing pad that has each resource funnaling into it for easy access. This was the best I could come up with but still fails due to how basic cargo links are. There's no way to split cargo coming from one transfer hub, it's all or nothing. Transferring 3 resources from one outpost to another, there's no way to split those 3 on the incoming side into separate storage.

Its not leftism its just very insecure people needing constant external affirmation about where they are in the identity oppression Olympics, yes that being a hierarchy, its bigotry because by removing ones pronouns one is identifying themselves as not being a member of those with a representative colour on the LGBTQIAE+ flag, an outsider, and being an outsider 'as it always has been in human history' makes you suspect and to be feared.

It is an arrested development problem, yes.

I would wait. Why risk burning out I say.

What I intend to do is finish the UC side quests and then complete it. However I will make a save just before the end so I can resume from there after to just mess around and do activities etc after.

No plans on a NG+ for now. Maybe in a few years

I think we both agree with the score. Fun addictive game, but far from a masterpiece and really should have been better.

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

It's really not that much work once you get familiar with the systems. I think I could setup 4,5 outposts in a couple hours and have everything coming in to a central base for crafting. The real time sink is if you have to buy any resources (travel time) and finding a good spot to build the outposts. Normally on the border of two biomes to get the most resource types. As said though, there really isn't a big point in doing so unless you enjoy building them as exp and credits is the return. If you don't touch them at all you wouldn't notice.

You can use transfer links to transfer mined raw materials to an outpost.

Indeed, potential to be so much more but just falls short. I'll come back to this in a year or so once everything settles down i think, hopefully reignite that spark.

Did the same with FO4, waited quite awhile before i went back to it and really enjoyed it.

The whole GUI is poor. It has limited functionality and giant icons because they have designed it for consoles :/

The whole inventory needs to be on a single screen.

I am waiting for the free update for Fallout 4 and will play it again. But all depends as I may have enough after playing Fallout London so might play it in a year or so.
