Fallout 4

Sidebar: Fair is fair... as someone who has been lukewarm on Inon Zur's music in the past I have to say he stepped up for this game. I really like some of the ambient Irish music I've heard in Goodneighbor, for example, and there have been some other moments in the game where the music caught my attention in a good way. Nice job.

I'm exploring the East Coast along the beach in my game and one of the best ambient tracks has a vaguely nautical tune to it that keeps getting stuck in my head. I'm also enjoying the new songs on the radio like Uranium Fever. The music in FO4 is solid.
 
The music is fantastic...the way the ambient will shift into combat music and then out is really seamless and adds a lot to the game. One of the few games I've actually specifically noticed the music as being really well done.
 
im not going to use craftable ammo on my first play through which i am still on, but ill make sure to use one on a second.

I agree. I also enjoy the combat music. Haven't listen to the radio that much as I don't know what to think about the new DJ. Although I didn't care for Three Dog's howling that much, he was a little more entertaining.
 
I absolutely love the ambient music in FO4, much better than the previous games.

**SPOILER ABOUT DIAMOND CITY RADIO DJ**

There's a quest to give him more confidence but he's still kind of a little punk.

Are scavengers supposed to be hostile toward the player in this game? They weren't in fallout 3 IIRC.

They attack me on sight and I never once did anything to one , they just up and attack me in this game.

I've come across several scavengers so far and they've all been friendly and tried to sell me things. They won't talk to me about anything aside from their wares though. If I ask about news or a dialog choice not related to barter, they always say something like "I don't want to talk about that, let's get back to trading." I'm not sure if other conversation choices are unlocked later based on some kind of event. All of the friendly scavengers I've met have been named NPCs.

I think you are confusing "Traders" with "Scavengers". I've come across a few "Traders" that just offer you goods. I came across a "Scavenger" and they didn't shoot me immediately but as I approached they said something like "this stuff is mine!" and then started firing. Not sure if you can holster your weapon and talk to them or not, I usually have mine out when exploring since shit has a tendency to just pop up out of the ground in this game.

I'm disappointed that the soundtrack is exclusive to iTunes for now otherwise I'd buy it.
 
TL, DR.

This is SP only? The story is that you're in a post-nuke Boston and have to find stuff to create a base and survive? You get raided/attacked on occasion. Is there an end-game or will this go on forever?
 
Yes, single player only. The game is about exploring and doing some quests to satisfy a story line, (not a good one though), not about building bases and keeping them safe. Explore, kill, find good weapons, repeat. I love it though and am having a blast for now.

It's a fallout game. Where have you been the last 20 years? :D
 
Haven't played a single one in the franchise, except for the android version :)
I will wait until this sees it's first price discount, thanks!

Settlements are easy if you make them bare bones. Build water, plant food, build generator and recruitment beacon, build flophouse with beds and nothing else. Put turrets down call it a day.

Lights and ceiling fans? Paintings? TV's and couches? Maybe in whatever you designate your "main" settlement. I give them the necessities. I'm not running a Marriot. They can sleep on their floor mattress or they can go find a ditch and sleep on the dirt!

Heh, that's way more than I do. I take the settlement and then just leave. They can figure their own shit out. :D

You'll be waiting for quite a while. I doubt this gets any lower than the $40 release day discounts that were/are floating around.

Could be. I have yet to see an NPC named "Scavenger." As I said, the characters I came across had their own names. One was a dude running his own little shop with an neon "OPEN" sign, in a location close to the NE corner of land.
 
I ran across a character that I believe might have had that title as well. He was standing next to a fridge (out in the middle of a field)> trying to figure the best way to open it. I approached and he freaked and said the same thing - "this here is mine!". I was fine with that...but I figured I'd help him and started to pick the lock on it for him...and he then attacked me......sheesh...try to do a fellow waste-lander a favor.

Pretty much this. about 15 hours into mine and I am only starting to do Diamond City Quests. Overall this game is a blast.

Note: Only disappointing thing is the difficulty levels. I was wishing something along the line of needing to eat/drink/sleep again.

It is like skrim infinite quest generation. Yes it is single player only. There is a story line and faction quests and collectibles. Honestly I would pick up new vegas if your waiting for a discount before getting this one. Or if you want to play what the games were orginally like fallout 1 and 2 are under 10 for both of them on steam. Alternately a similar game is wasteland 2.

fallout 2 takes place in southern California
fallout 3 (need xp or vista to play) washington dc area
new vegas is in las vegas and colorado and new mexico areas
fallout 4 boston

the story line typically is you are in a vault mcguffin happens to need you to leave you go out do what ever. Typically the games are full of memes and popculture refrences such as wandering around to find the tardis in fallout 2 and such all of the games have had this type of thing to some extent.

new vegas broke from the traditional opening with it being not vault oriented but it does not hurt the story in my opinion.

:confused:

Works fine for me on W7 and W10, as long as its run in compatibility mode for XP. Tale of Two Wastelands is definitely the best way to play FO3 though.

That is interesting. Good point about the team size. To expect the same polish on a game made by 40 people compared to a AAA made by a team of 900 is ludicrous. I agree they've focused on the right things (taking all their similar 3rd person titles into consideration, not just talking about FO4)

I'm almost 40 hours deep and haven't advanced the main plot past the start of diamond city.

Distracted every 5 steps I take.

End-game gun, playing on Very Hard it kills in one shot lol.

I found the .50 cal sniper rifle version of that monster... Slapped a suppressor on it and it's just destructive as hell. Playing on survival so it's not 1 shot for everything... It's like 1 shot and a paper cut.

I am hoping someone releases something similar to Skyrim's Frostfall Survival mod.
 
Picked up the beta amd drivers, I think it helps with the slow loads. new problem developed recently though, a greenish haze to the lighting. the lighting is bad enough to where it is blown out in so many areas. anyone know a fix for that? The glare is just overdone.

for the water farming, installed 6 of the jumbo purifiers. go do a couple of missions, go to a settlement that has needs and dump all the junk, patch them up, go pick up 120-180 water, sell for 1000+ caps

Not a radiation storm?

Green haze is usually a rad storm.
 
Built 4x40 water purifiers at Sanctuary. Slept for over 24 hours and no excess water production in workshop inventory.

Then spent 30 minutes or so running around the extreme NW part of the map and went back to the vault to grab the cryolator, came back to Sanctuary and had 112 water.

So I think it's probably tied to real time rather than game time. Which makes sense if they wanted to avoid people just sleeping for 2400 hours straight and being rich afterwards.

Either way, it's an awesome money maker.
 
the green cast became permanent. after reading about it I realized it happened after killing a super giant.

fix(es)

"For those with green blurred image, type this command rimod 00094636
And for the white-gray blurred image rimod 002041B6"

What's the consensus on Power Armor? Does it make the game too easy? I don't have any shortage of fusion cores but the power armor feels OP sometimes. Currently playing without it.

Pump the difficulty up if it's too easy.

I'm playing on very hard, and I can't imagine completing quests now without wearing one.

I've stumbled across some intense fights that I know I couldn't have survived without the power armor. If you have enough fusion cores, than by all means use it.
