What's new

Fallout 4

Enjoying it at the moment finding it difficult though! Radiation at the start of the game seems to be the main problem taken about 60% of my health lol.

 
Bought it from Game! Traded in Dying Light, Ryse, Wolfenstein and Far Cry 4 for it. Each one of those beat the CEX price by £1.

Installing now.

 
Desperate to get this but waiting until I've completed MGS. I'm on mission 32 of 43. Having a baby and wife really does slow you down (not that I'm complaining).

 
So what did everyone name their character?

I called mine Shooter McGavin.

Going with a high charisma build so that I can open up all the dialogue paths.

 
Spent a few hours building my minute men a decent base.

Really like that feature.

Not to sound like a pussy, but this version is much harder than Fallout 3 / New Vegas.

Frigging Radscorpions are OP.

Going for a Charisma / Intelligence / Agility build.

I like my small guns and sniper rifles.

 
Going to get it.  For sure.  it's one of the few games I still get excited about (maybe not to buying an actual Pip Boy level) but I do love the games.

I remember finding that Deathclaw sanctuary too....I remember the first time I met a Deathclaw in a sewer under Washington DC.

I usually love a solid sniper rifle, and then charisma is great as it gives you extra options for conversation that can reap rewards earlier.

I have a birthday soon, and have been dropping hints (but I'm also in the market for a smoker, and the one I'm looking at isn't cheap, so who knows)  Does anyone know what Games places are giving for PS3 trade ins, or is it even worth trying?

Oh, and like the others have metnioned on here...I like to start the story line and then go adventuring.  IN Fact, when I played Fallout 3 that was a gripe I had.  I followed the story line and had plans on exploring...then the next thing I knew it was over and I hadn't done any side missions or adventuring and started it all over again.

Has pretty bad user reviews.

With user reviews I mainly use Amazon because the reviewers don't tend to have vested interests in a games success or otherwise, and it's being almost universally praised there.

I'm in the perk tree but I can't work out how to actually get/assign perks? I was under the impression that, as I gave myself 3 strength for instance, I could assign 3 strength perks?

No with 3 strength you can invest the first three strength perks but each perk can have different levels.

So for example with I think intelligence level 3 I can upgrade my lock picking skills. But the lock pick skill itself can be upgraded three times to allow me to pick more complex locks (novice, intermediate, hard).

Where are you reading the reviews?

If the internet has taught me anything the internet community will piss and moan about everything, especially if it's popular.

A lot of people on metacritic seem to hate it. I don't really think they are trolls either, they have really gone into detail about why they dislike the game.

 
Metacritic trolls.

You're an idiot if you rely on user reviews to gauge how successful a game is.

 
Lets not pretend like Bethesda games don't have their fair share of bugs. Some people have genuinely encountered game breaking bugs. 

 
Sadly, that's true. Bethesda games are usually riddled with bugs when first launched. That's why people are increasingly hesitant in pre-ordering.

But that's understandable as bugs are inevitable in big (as in content) games nowadays. One can argue that they should've done better with their pre-launch quality checks though.

Having said that, Bethesda does have a history of developing patches and updates within a short space of time. They're generally helpful and responsive in their support forums too.

Okay so with the 3 strength I gave myself, the first three perks on that tree are available. But how do I get them? Or do I have to wait to be a higher level? As of level one which I'm currently at, I can't seem to get any perks.

I'm sort of confused as to whether the 3 strength is an advantage in itself. Basically, does that "3" do anything, such as give a built in ability to carry more, or does it just unlock the first 3 perks?
