I wish there were a faster way of deleting saves in this game, I hit the maximum ;___;

Yeah I had to break my habit of saving so much. I try and just have 5 at a time now haha

Downloading Fallout 4 right now.

I can't wait to spend the next 300 hours of my life with this game.

I'm loving the game so far. I just have a few questions:

How much stuff can I power running on one generator? Also, where's a good place to look for gears?

well the generators have the number on their crafting menu saying how many units of power they generate. But if you're talking about the other stuff that has no power number requirement, and only has a lightning bolt with no number, you can power as many of those as are in range of the generator or a connector

Ah okay, that makes sense. That's probably why the building I made is only half lit. I swear it looks like this at night time whenever I go look in there.

Gotta admit, I've been suckered into srttlements. Sanctuary, Outpost Zimonja, Castle and Spextacle island are all doing pretty good

big dog · December 22, 2015, 04:54:18 AM

Started a new playthrough and the beginnings of a new settlement.

BaconShelf · December 22, 2015, 04:57:54 AM

Am I the only one having trouble getting enough steel for my constuctions? You generally get a good amount when first looting a settlement, but after that resorting to just picking up tin cans and hammers gets a bit tedious. I wish you could scrap anything on the map you can find.

A Cheese Potato · December 22, 2015, 07:11:50 AM

I dunno how you fuckers can make these big self made structures.
I can't deal with the lack of control you get over the snapping/placing, and the basically non existent welding/phasing

So I just end up sprucing up the existing Sanctuary houses and calling it a day haha

ugh

I hate sanctuary precisely because it has too many existing structures

I would like to see phasing added at some point, though. Having fences sticking out of the ground and floating in the air looks weird a lot of the time.

Also, I really wish we could rename settlers like in Fallout Shelter. It gets really confusing trying to assign settlers when they all have the same name.

big dog · December 22, 2015, 08:22:16 AM

Made some progress on Sanctuary. Going to add a large communal area at some point. Kind of like a trading centre.

The Waifu Master · December 22, 2015, 03:31:41 PM

Anyone want a digital copy of the artbook?
I have a code. PM me if you do.

Jono · December 22, 2015, 10:33:03 PM

I dun fucked up. Had no aluminium to repair my armor and make mods. Turns out all those surgical trays and TV dinner trays I always walk by aren't so worthless after all.

On to look for trays in the wastes.

Jono · December 23, 2015, 04:20:09 AM

I found a T-51B power armor set standing all alone inside of a crate. Brought it home with me and modified every part of the armor Winterized for old times sake.

I found a full suit of X-01 at the South Boston Military Checkpoint.

I wish there was an Enclave paint.

I found this pre-war quarry called Dunwich Borers full of Raiders that I needed to clear out for this nearby settlement. So I went there and went inside and I totally wasn't expecting what I was gonna find in there.

It just kept going deeper and deeper down into the earth and felt like I was gonna end up in Hell. I seriously thought at one point to turn around because it felt endless but I kept going. I thought "There better be a bobblehead or something valuable down here" and literally 3 seconds after I said that I found a bobblehead, the one for Sneak if I remember correctly.

And the thing I thought was cool was that there were these light switches that would light up an area and Feral Ghouls would wake up and go apeshit on you for waking them up.

There were also flashbacks you would see before the war, like what the Dunwich Building did in Fallout 3. There was even a shrine-thing at the very bottom of this quarry with a special dagger you can get.

What I thought was just a simple Raider camp ended up being a nightmare. Lots of shotgun shells and stimpacks were spent that day.

I wandered down there out of curiosity but thankfully I was in full on jetpack assault armour with a taser-supersledge and a bunch of my best guns >_>

Still burned through all of my stimpaks by the end.

So. Many. Withered. Ghouls. FML

ABSOLUTELY HARAM

Incan · December 24, 2015, 02:27:40 PM

I should play this more.

Super Irish · December 24, 2015, 07:39:50 PM

Fuck me the early game got me killed a lot. Putting that down to the new controls and getting to grips with my new console, and not knowing about the traps, but eh.

So far spent 17 hours on it, haven't even reached Diamond City what with my house restoration project underway.

Kiwicake · December 24, 2015, 07:44:56 PM

It's alright, I died a ton to traps at first too

Jono · December 25, 2015, 05:19:54 AM

I found a Raider camp where they are watching robots run around a racetrack.

I activated the self-destruct option on one of the terminals, sat back, and watched the show.

Big Boss · December 25, 2015, 01:28:17 PM

I played it for hours and days and now I just can't be arsed to finish it. Seriously, when I go on it I'm just like 'Ehhh, I'm bored...'

That's a Das-tier mistake.

Jesus fucking Christ man. The Glowing Sea is depressing and horrifying at the same time.

It's depressing because everyone that lived in this area right before the bombs fell had literally NO chance of finding shelter at all. Everything and everyone there were completely destroyed instantly and there's hardly a trace of any infrastructure in the Glowing Sea. All of it is just... gone. This place is the literal definition of what a wasteland is. The rest of the Commonwealth looks like paradise compared to the Glowing Sea.

And the horrifying thing is all the monsters that inhabit the area. I shot a couple missiles at a Deathclaw and they barely did anything to him. After that I got swarmed by high-level Bloodbugs and almost died in the process. Then a pack of like 7 Feral Ghouls came out of their radiation pools and ran at me and luckily a well-timed grenade took most of them down. I was in my power armor had my best weapons and still I kept getting rekt.

And lastly, how the FUCK do these people at the bomb crater survive? Where do they get food? Where do they get water? Do these people have a lifetime supply of radaway and rad-x or what.

A Cheese Potato · December 26, 2015, 05:50:36 AM

no they're just little lamplight 2.0

Jono · December 26, 2015, 10:14:37 PM

Its pretty cool that even 200 years after nuclear annihilation, people still celebrate Christmas.

Jono · December 30, 2015, 05:08:55 PM

In Fallout 3, I could one-shot Deathclaws but the ones in this game don't fuck around.

They're like mini-Zillas
