Fallout 4

[Beliall]

Starting a survival run tonight, spent last night modding the crap out of it and now im ready to finally complete this game

[MC Prussian]

Level 22.

 

Lovely game - although some have spoilt the ending for me to some extent with it being a disappointment and whatnot, I will keep playing for as long as I can. It's just such an enormeous and rewarding game, it took me some time to get into the game mechanics and the settlement building side quests, but Fallout 4 sucks you right in and then you can play for hours straight (just another side mission, and another one, ...).

 

There's only a few negative aspects - one is my one fault: At times, I get so caught up in the game that I forget to save my progress, then I run into a horde of ghouls during a side quest (with a Glowing One) and I'm done.

There's a couple of glitches with the collision model, companions tend to be in the way during battles, and the frame rate occasionally stutters on my XBOX One when I roam the outside world, but those instances are very rare.

I'm also a very big hoarder in this game, so sometimes it takes me minutes to shuffle all items around that I have picked up in the process.

 

Absolutely in love with the V.A.T.S. - so cinematic. Recently added the fantastic Mysterious Stranger perk, so I have up to three characters in battle.

If you haven’t seen it in the PC thread, you absolutely have to check these guys out and watch the release video. It’s like a whole game and a DLC all in one - it’s insane.

I've often said that Bethesda should do a European one. Paris would be great (imagine what you could do with the Eiffel Tower!) Or Rome with the Colosseum and the Vatican (a re-emergence of the Holy Roman Empire?) You could even possibly do Berlin and give it a tongue in cheek Nazi twist... I'm sure that would upset plenty.

Big update been released this week - Enclave faction, a bunch of new quests, new unique weapons and power armour.

Started playing this again following the new update release

 

Can't put it down! Really enjoying it

Does anyone know if you can access the next gen update through GamePass on X-Box. Or do you need to own the game?

I re-downloaded on GamePass the other day and it's the updated version.

Noice. Does it run well enough? Graphics hold up?

I only gave it a quick half hour blast, but the graphics certainly look a bit cleaner and everything held together fine from what I saw.

 

I've seen a few posts online where textures haven't loaded, but I also imagine a lot of people will be running previous modded saves that will have been messed up by the version upgrade.

 

I guess we're still playing a Bethesda release at the end of the day!

shame there wasnt any real update for the PC version, only widescreen etc

 

think we all can agree a fix for the horrible long loading times would have been nice

[moore_94]

Accidentally left a fusion core in my power armor which I left at a settlement

 

Came back to the settlement to a raider running around in it blasting my settlers ffs

Yeah - fully into it again. Great fun, isn't it?

[Bryn]

There’s a good mod similar to the Skyrim mod that lets you adjust your starting location, and thereby bypass the intro. The intro is generally what stops me replaying the game, the time it takes from character creation to getting past the first meeting with the Minutemen is just way too long.

[Lako42]

How do you apply mods on Xbox and are there any key ones that make this better for a 1st time player? 

[moore_94]

So my character is now level 47 and I only have only just killed Kellogg... 

 

Side quests distract me way too much in games like this!

[moore_94]

Finally finished the Fallout 4 main story!

 

Sided with the Minutemen and the Brotherhood, killed off both the Railroad and the Institute - popped my son in the face with a silenced pistol as well

 

Thought the main story was a bit rubbish overall, thankfully I get distracted by side quests easily otherwise it seems like it could've been a very short playthrough

 

Now to have a go at the Far Harbour and Nuka World DLCs

i know i shouldnt have but ive used the resources glitch, that bugger helps so much

 

no raiding my settlements now, since most have like 7  heavy laser turrets 

[kingcarr21]

Just started a new play through. Decided to heavily invest in charisma. Always end up doing the usual so I'm trying something completely different. Didnt even know I could use pacify in this game

 

I also never bother with the settlements side of things so I may have to finally get started on it.

I didn't know this was a thing..... and I have absolutely not been using it to make things a lot easier.

I didn’t use the glitch but just built an absolute ton of the biggest water purifiers so I end up with loads of purified water to sell for ammo and stuff - use some charisma stat boosting stuff like Grape Mentats before buying/selling and get loads of caps
 

I just gave up defending most of my settlements, pretty much only care about Sanctuary which has turrets everywhere and all the settlers fully geared up anyway (and all my Power Armor locked away with no fusion cores left in them!)

i tried that method but whenever you go sell stuff you find the vendors have only like 300/400 caps, and theres me with over 300 PW etc to sell, then found myself fast travelling around vendors

Tbf I only usually sold PW when I was buying stuff (rather than sell to just get more caps) so I would sell the amount of PW I needed to cover what I was buying, which was usually a lot of .45 ammo as I pretty much only use the Spray n Pray gun
