Peoples thoughts?

I have always gotten really bored with the previous titles. Bethesda always seem to fk something up royally.

I put about 6 hours into fallout 4 so far. It's an improvement so far. Couple of niggling things about it but overall it is an improvement.

ive been keeping an eye on reviews and watched someone play it for a while.

not enough has changed to bring me back.

I enjoyed Fallout 3 (played it on PS3, then got PC and modded it). Earlier this year i played a lot of New Vegas. overall im pretty over it. its the same enemies, same weapons, same themes, same choices, same side quests, same NPC's.

But what annoys me the most is the same shitty inventory system and colour scheme. Pip boy colour = every GUI colour.

Waiting for my copy in the mail. Big fan of 3 and NV so looking forward to playing the new one on PS4.

I have the older games on PC and PS3 but prefer to play on PS3, even though the graphics are way better on PC. Better to sit on the couch in front of a big TV and the PS controller is pretty well suited to the gameplay. Not as accurate as the mouse but suits me fine

I just downloaded it rather than buying it, probably sink a couple of hours into it and then delete it.

My main excitement from games comes from the coop\multiplayer and that's not existent in fallout.

Even though the land is filled with NPCs etc, I still get lonely.

I'll buy it when it hits the bargain bins later on, I no longer get hyped up on any triple a titles these days.

Instead I'm looking forward to see if taletells would release a season 3 of the walking dead game.

That would be because they are all rehashes of rehashed titles that sold well.

*sigh*

Been playing for a bit, some random thoughts so far...

Doesn't feel like the older 3/NV games. Many things have been simplified or removed, like speech, equipment repair, some crafting, speech or intelligence checks

Enemy markers dont show up until youre discovered, sucks for stealth play, hard to pick out enemies with a sniper rifle from a distance

Environment looks nice, but doesnt quite match that steampunk 50's feel of 3 and NV. Weird mix of old and new, almost forced in a way

Radio station kinda sucks. DJ is some nervous dork, got nothing on Three Dog or Mr New Vegas

New HUD is a bit meh

New ghouls, meh as well, just behave like average zombies from an average zombie movie. Old ghouls were way more fun and actually looked more detailed. Now theyre just grey blobs with yellow eyes. Non ferals look like mix of human and Mothership Zeta aliens

Pipboy a bit of a downgrade too

I've put 30 odd hours into Fallout 4 thus far - Having never played the others I'm quite enjoying it as a good time filler. Certainly haven't lost interested in it as fast as I did with Witcher 3.

After about the 15 hour mark I realised if I had my time again I'd do one major thing different, biggest tip would be the Idiot Savant perk, get the first 2 levels of that out as fast as you can and keep intelligence low (lvl 4 max, for hacking) till lvl 25 ish and then bang heaps into it fast to get the gains from it - put whatever other points into things that you wanna head down.

If I doing it that way speeds things up massively once the exp starts rolling @ 3x and then 5x as you can get to hacking/cracking safes relatively quickly. I didn't get the Idiot perks till around lvl 15 after I realised and from then on it made the game go along a lost faster IMO. Unlocking points fast and quick.

Detailed info on it here:

So I rebuilt my gaming box and decided to start again going idiot maxed early. Keeping lvl 1 INT the whole time.

I'm lvl 11 already after only a few hours of playing. Makes suuuuch a difference to levelling speed. I'm also putting early points into STR and added weight so I don't have to keep running back to Sanctuary after every mission to unload weapons and shit. Making the game far more enjoyable for me and moving at a much faster pace.

Only issue is lock picking/hacking terminals, kinda stuffed on occasions there as I've put little points into PER and zero into INT for now - more so on terminals it's a bit of a PIA and most of the safes are just basic loot. Once I hit ~lvl 20 I'll pile points into INT given you cant get lvl 3 hacker till lvl 21 anyway (and then do science/scrapper same time). Then go back and sort all the important stuff out that I couldn't, not that there is much by that point if I keep ramping up the levels as fast as I am now :D

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
