200 years after a nuclear war, Fallout 4 is set in a post-apocalyptic Boston, in which the player character emerges from an underground bunker known as a Vault. Gameplay is similar to Fallout 3. Completing quests and acquiring experience levels up the character, allowing for new abilities. With an optional first- or third-person view, players can explore Fallout 4's open world setting at will, allowing nonlinear gameplay. Additional party members can accompany the player, who are able to assist them in battles. Players have the ability to construct and deconstruct buildings and items, and use them to build a settlement, which can attract and be inhabited by non-playable characters.

I'm 30 minutes out the vault and I'm already in power armor and killed a deathclaw with a minigun...
Though there are now power cells for the power armor, so once that ran out, I can't use it any longer. I wonder if those will be common late game or what, as it ran out quite fast.

Building a base in this game. Not the greatest. Seems like the parts don't connect half the time.....very hit or miss

Yeah, the whole "build a structure" thing is so incredibly basic/limited, I'm not sure why they even bothered with it. However, finding an existing location, like the Red Rocket station, and then setting it up as your own works well. Placing furniture and lighting and whatnot works as it should, and I spent probably half my playtime so far doing exactly that.
However, you STILL can't turn items you drop from your inventory!? This is something that should have been implemented since Oblivion and we're still reduced to slamming nuka cola bottles against a wall and shelf to try to get it to stand upright if we want to place it somewhere.

I just went to the Starlight Drive In. I encountered a lot of bugs and framerate issues (On a high end pc) already.Here are some of the bugs i have seen/experienced so far
Floating people
NPC's glitching through the ground
Objects glitching through NPC's
When using terminal i had to load the game several times because i became stuck and couldn't exit it
Textures disappearing
Enemies teleporting
I hope they fix all the issues, because it's a really good game

The only bug I've encountered so far is occasionally some objects (like say a street sign or a window) will have a super low-res texture on it, even when textures are set to ultra. It is kind of jarring, to suddenly see a really blurry texture on something, but overall not a big deal.

I encountered a radscorpion. It burrowed under ground then shot out of the ground and blasted off like Team Rocket.....it was never seen again. Best bug so far
There was something here, but now it's gone... Have a nice day

The main complaint with Planescape Torment is its combat mechanics. So if you didn't like the first Fallout for being clunky and boring, I can't imagine you'd like Planescape any better.

But on the plus side, you don't really have to do much combat if you don't want to.
12 Yrs♥✓#
Well you can also beat Fallout 1 and 2 without ever directly killing anybody in combat. The only time in Fallout 2 that you have to enter combat is the end boss and you can complete that without actually participating yourself, combat for the rest of the game is optional. Though it is difficult to actually know of these options on an initial playthrough.

Fair point. Just because it's technically possible in all those games doesn't help much if someone doesn't know that. You kind of have to know what you're doing ahead of time and have a plan going in sometimes.
And I can't really blame someone for not being able to get into Fallout 1 these days because it feels clunky to them. I tried to go back to it a couple years ago and had the exact same problem. So it goes.

Yeah, I'm wanting to get through it was well before Tides of Numenera comes out next year, but it is hard to squeeze in a game of that length. Maybe if Numenera comes out in the second half of next year I'll be able to in the summer game drought.

I'm also hoping I'll be able to, because that's sadly the only game I was in the middle of when I lost the only hard drive that's ever died on me that was completely unrecoverable and wasn't backed up. I just haven't been able to work myself up to going through all of that again and have kept putting it off, but the new one has motivated me to push it up. I kind of wanted to finish it before Pillars of Eternity, but here I am, never having even started it before that came out. Maybe I will before the final expansion for that does...

The bottom left of the map is the worst ever.

Last Pillars expansion comes in January, not much time left.

I'm not sure if I'll make it, but we'll see.
To get back on track with the correct game, my friend appears to have gotten himself flagged as an essential NPC, so now his health gets restored to full whenever it reaches 0. It's kind of funny, but he's mostly annoyed. Bethesda strikes again.
12 Yrs♥✓#
How'd he manage to do that?

I just went down there for the first time the other day, I thought it was pretty cool looking. It was also the first time in about 40 hours of playtime that I had seen a radscorpion.

It's kind of funny because there are two people playing the game pretty heavily on one of the IRC channels I'm on, and he's had tons of minor issues, along with a few major ones like that one and some quest breaking/blocking ones, and the other guy has had absolutely nothing weird happen at all.

The only notable thing that happened to me was falling through an elevator, which just made me recall the elevator back down, but I also haven't done a ton of quests. I spend most of my time exploring and some settlement fiddling. I didn't go to diamond city until lvl 20.

I'm having a big issue that is keeping me from wanting to do any quests. During dialogue I'd say about 25% of the time when it's my characters turn to talk my dialogue options don't pop up and I'm left just standing there. Pressing buttons doesn't do anything either so I can't even just guess my responses. Then after waiting awhile the conversation switches to whoever I'm talking to and they just stand there silently when they should be speaking, even the subtitles don't pop-up. And then the conversation ends and any important info/context for a quest which just activated is lost. For example this happened when confronting Kellogg so I only learned about the whereabouts of Shaun when my character was telling Valentine about it.
12 Yrs♥✓#
If it makes you feel any better, Kellogg tells you almost nothing at all.
I did find my first quest glitch, though. The Dig mission, I got through all the destructible walls fine (though getting through the narrow tunnel with 4 people (including me) and a robot was kind of annoying...but when I got to the final wall, I hit activate and the robot just screws up pathing and flies away. So I just can't get through the final wall and had to walk all the way back out the tunnels I came in and abandon the quest.

I'm almost 80 hours in and have finally finished exploring everything on the left side of the map leading into Diamond City. I explore methodically and have invested quite a bit of time into settlement building, however I finally decided that I will not care as much about settlement building as 1.) I'm not that creative in the first place, 2.) There's very little payoff, as all you need for a settlement is the required water, beds, and food to foster a full settlement, and then just plop down a bunch of turrets so nobody attacks you. Moving forward I will just facilitate a basic base at each settlement I encounter going forward, and focus on exploring everything, and eventually beating the game.
