    Some screenshot comparisons

    Looks like a waste of 50 odd gig to me

    The guy in the pcgamer review. I had to download twice so another hour. I could only but dream of being able to do that.

    Tbh from those pictures there is very little between the ultra setting and the new Hi-res. Plus I have already played the game and all DLC so I will not be trying this one out.

    OK how about now? How about them 50 odd gigs of textures? Worth it?

    Nope.

    Very little difference, and the game is still not an RPG :/

    It's recommended requirements are marked as Intel Core i7-5820K, a GTX-1080, 8GB RAM.

    I have none of these so I'll continue on with my GTX 970, i7-4770 and 4GB of RAM.

    I would recommend it.

    I actually enjoyed this game and DLC. Admittedly the season pass was a let down as there was a lot of short and build DLC and only two good expansions compared to the four expansions of previous Fallout games.

    Which two expansions would you recommend for Fallout 4?

    Far Harbour + Nuka World are probably the best although I did enjoy the Vault-tec DLC.

    The rest aren't true expansions, they are more like content packs.

    I restarted this the other night and am going to be a bastard rather than good.

    It gripped me like no other game in recent memory.

    I've been playing gta5 but am a bit meh about it.

    I cannot get into FF15 at all.

    This though, it has me hook, line and sinker.

    I also tried this at the weekend. Have to admit I'm struggling to find the love so far.
    Little things are getting to me, and the resource management to avoid rads is more of a chore than a joy. But I'm going to stick with it as I think it might be a slow burner and hook me without even realising it. Maybe 6 hours in, will give it another 10 or so.

    You can't really be a total dickwad, except maybe in the Nuka World DLC, which I haven't played a whole lot of.

    Unfortunately, bad apparently = sarcastic in this game.

    To be bad, best bet is to take the cannibal perk and just shoot settlers/traders as you come across them as opposed to helping.

    It's unfortunate that the Gunners aren't a joinable faction and mostly shoot on sight.

    I'm still pissed I lost my save in the Summer :mad: I was level 50 and had some sweet rifles with me :cool:


    One thing that annoyed me about this game though (and I thinks it's the same for everyone) those stupid radiant quests :mad: would much preferred if they had just added a load of good quality side quests, radiant quests are low quality crap .

    Actually yes after reading your post it came back to me. Yes this game had no decent side quests compared to Fallout 3 or New Vegas, most of the side quests are the exact same go here clear out raiders and go back for the exact same again. It gets really boring after you do it so many times.

    That's not to say there isn't any good side quests in there is a few but it doesn't take you long to figure out filler and just forget about doing any more.

    Not sure if it's pc only or not, but there are some mods like 'epic bosses of the wasteland' and 'raiders/gunners plus' (not sure of the exact names) that add a fair lot of difficulty ultimately to it. Much, much, much tougher enemies in lots of random spots around the place. Also a mod for different types of guns, not sure which but a good few are called 'soviet' etc that is double edged - they're really cool and add to the game play, but are also ridiculously stronger than other guns and can lead to you getting obliterated or obliterating others very easily.

    Wouldn't recommend putting either on too early though. I did from the start and actually had to use god mode for a few mins at one point because I couldn't get through an early mission that they were blocking off, and there was absolutely zero getting around or going through them.

    It hasn't a patch on 3 or new Vegas for that matter.

    Was thinking of starting over and letting the institute win, that way No Preston Garvey giving me crap and I get to go to a clean sanitized place every night to sleep! No joke, I miss the cleanness of it.

    I just turned on dialogue subtitles and removed all his lines via the Creation Kit. Smooth and quiet sailing for the Minutemen

    Came across the bug in the Old Guns quest line. Thankfully after around two hours of trying different things i got the poxy transmitter to turn on.

    I had to use 2 medium size generators to get it going.

    It very nearly ruined the game for me, I couldn't have an unfinished quest sitting there looking at me.

    Damn you all to hell. I'm bloody hooked and barely talking to anyone at home now. Still has shortcomings but drags you in screaming... Even dreamt about it last night so my head is wrecked...

    I finally got into the building aspect. I've turned Hangman's ally into my player character's own personal fort. Between sessions of working on that, I'm sorting out settlements, but I don't like the shacks. With all the holes in roofs and walls, it looks to me like in winter you might as well be outdoors - yes I know it's just an immersion thing - so I'm building decent shacks from scratch, big ones...with sleeping, cooking/living and storage areas. I also found a mod I can use to help repair holes and broken windows in old houses like Croup Manor and Taffington Boathouse.

    I had to turn off a couple of the transmitters recently. New settlers were coming in faster than I could create places for them to sleep...

    Wait until you find yourself randomly worrying about your settlements and how they are doing when you are in the pub.

    I started this game ages ago and stopped, just wasn't hooked. This thread brought me back to it again and, you've guessed it, got hooked.
    Now up to level 67, but I have decorating to do for her indoors so can't spend much more time on it.:)
    Funny how that happens, drop a game, come back after awhile and then get enaged.

    I really got hooked on this game when it came out as it was the first game of any kind I had played in years apart from GTAV, but the more and more I play others the more and more I see how true the criticisms about this being a very lazy effort were.

    I wonder before release if they could get rid of the preston stupid quests and put in some actual decent side quests.
