Designer1 Posted November 20, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2015 I've put about 40+ hours into this now and I have to say, I think it's simply superb. When I first starting playing, I was enjoying it in a very similar way to my enjoyment of New Vegas. It ticked off many of the things I loved about that game and I would have been quite content for it to continue in a similar vein. However, I have to say that as the hours have gone past i've noticed more and more detail of story, character and little touches throughout the world that really do put this head and shoulders above most games out there. It's an incredible experience, and worthy of everyones attention. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I think I'll easy be playing this till christmas. There is just so much to do. I've barely touched the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I've seen quite a few people say that like Skyrim, you want to do at least a bit of the main story before you start doing all the side stuff. I'm not sure they will lock some of the better abilities behind main quests (Fus Ro Dah!) but I'm glad I'm seeing a bit of the synth stuff explained.

mightysasquatch Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) I'm so happy I stuck with it, I can't put the bloody thing down once I get settled. I still haven't built a huge amount at sanctuary but I'm starting to do a little bit here & there when I go back to do some crafting/dumping stuff. i just did a "clear the ghouls" mission & found a the T-51 suit (minus the legs) but I'm working on the base suit first. One of those huge bots was waiting for me outside so I hit him with the mini nuke....beautiful Edited November 21, 2015 by mightysasquatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 A word on how the game runs - I've had a little bit of clipping, and the odd floating character, but given that this is a Bethesda game we're talking about, it's incredibly stable.

PongRiddims Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Right I caved in and got it, I've literally just left the vault, having not played Fallout before what's the best way to go about playing it, scavenge, search, hunt and kill?

Ginko Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Well, you'll have to scavenge no matter what you do, but as for whether you start out base-building, go off and explore and do side quests or make the main storyline your priority, it really doesn't matter. Play however feels natural to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a playground. Go for a walk. I've not taken it myself yet, but if I were a new player then I'd strongly suggest you take the VANS perk in the intellect tree, it's a 'navigation' aid and will help you out if you get lost. If you go wandering don't be disturbed if you run into enemies who can kick your ass, it's normal. You can try to sneak past them (crouch, look at the "hidden" sign on the UI, how far apart the brackets shows how well hidden you are.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Loving it. Sod the power armour, I can't be bothered with the fusion cores. I'm going with my usual sneak and snipe/blow their head off at close range build. I'm having issues finding rad away though, rare as rocking horse. Half my HP are taken away by rads at the moment. Combat is getting tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V01 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) They're everywhere, I had to dump about 75 into a storage locker at a settlement to free up some room in my inventory. 2mm EC, now they are rare, I found about 5 in the wasteland any more I've got were from traders.

The_Rev Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Plenty of Rad Away scattered about the wasteland, if you can't find any then give the doctor in Diamond City 40 caps to cure your radiation sickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidden Content Spoiler It was the build up and the story behind why the Deathclaw was there that I liked. Going into the building slowly and catching glimpses of bodies dropping and being dragged around was a nice touch. Then once the encounter was over, reading the notes about the egg and what had happened to the team was a great touch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno_2004 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Just provided me with one of my favourite video game moments - completely insignificant as far as the story goes anyway, I'd even just lasered the swan to bits. Was approaching Graygarden and suddenly heard a large whoosh overhead and a bang, didn't see anything as it was night but followed smoke in the distance. Won't spoil it for anyone but found my favourite gun from Fallout 3 as a result. The fact it was night and I only had the ambient sounds to go off, plus this being a completely random event sums up the brilliance of Fallout for me. Exceptional. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) The random encounters are great. Boston feels like a living breathing war-torn city with gunfire sounding in the distance nearly everywhere with flashes of explosions lighting the horizon. You really have to feel for the residents of Hangman's Alley! 14 hours ago, maqroll said: I heard this is set in Boston. making you want to visit, is it?
