Fallout 4

5 more days!!!

Awwwww yeah!

Dude I cannot wait. My Pip-Boy edition is shipping from Bethesda and should be there on launch day!

My wife is divorcing me for talking too much about video games.

What a ridiculous thing to fallout 4

I ended up splurging and getting this game since I haven't gotten a new game since Madden came out. This is the first Fallout game I've gotten and I'm definitely struggling with everything going on. The whole cooking things, making things, picking things up, ammo, maps.... everything. I have been walking around a building trying to kill all the raiders for about 30 to 45 minutes now and I have NO clue where to go.

That being said, I am very much enjoying this game.

I struggled through Fallout 3 and didn't bother with New Vegas. I ended up playing the shit out of Skyrim, which I feel has better prepared me for this game.

Haha just follow the prompts. In your Pip-Boy you should have a tab with all of your current quests. That will tell you where to go, and you can choose which quests you're actively playing and it will put up waypoints where you need to go on the map. Just make sure you talk to the different characters, and thoroughly explore all the areas you go to because you will pick up a lot of side quests that way.

I'm with Yak, this is my first Fallout game and my god it's confusing. I have no idea what to do most of the time and I suck and have to play it on Very Easy. That being said, it's pretty good.

I was trying to follow the way points and map in this warehouse but since there were stairs everything kept changing. Finally I looked and found an elevator which took me to the last room of baddies that I had to kill.

It was weird, the more I was drinking last night while playing, the more clarity I had in the game.

I also don't understand the storage system. I see where I can "transfer" things into things like lockers and even other dead baddies but what would be the point of that? Would I have to go back to that exact locker to get them back if I wanted them?

There are some very informative and helpful posts over at the fallout 4 subreddit. http://www.reddit.com/r/fo4 Of course, you have to wade through some other random posts, which are mostly screenshots of various things, but there are a couple of stickied posts at the top with a lot of info.

I haven't had too much time to play it yet, since I had to go out of town from Friday to Sunday, but I'm hoping to dive into it more this week.

I think I had the same problem too! Was it when you were hunting down that Institute robot?

Yes. Almost all the items in the game have weight to them so you obviously can't carry everything with you. So when you find different weapons and items you want to keep you can store them, and swap them out later. I generally use a suitcase, dresser, safe, or something like that to hold my items that I don't currently want to carry. Right now I keep most of my stuff in Sanctuary Hills where I have my biggest settlement set up.

It was when I was trying to clear the raiders out of one of the buildings.

Don't tell me I'll have ANOTHER headache.....

Just a heads up (it is for all systems):

Several users have reported a serious game-breaking bug in Bethesda's open-world role-playing game, Fallout 4. As detailed on the Bethesda forums, the bug in question concerns a settlement quest which requires players to head to Monsignor Plaza. Upon attempting to travel there, several players have encountered a game crash straight to the desktop, without an error message.

Thanks for the heads up, don't think I've come across that quest yet but now I'll avoid it until I know it's been patched.

How far are you guys into Fallout 4. I haven't even completed the main story yet but I'm working on 5 days worth of time playing it. I've spent so much time tinkering with Power Armors, building settlements, forging armor, etc... I love this game.

I honestly haven't played it much. I have been into Madden and NBA.

Haha I haven't been able to stop. I think I need an intervention.

The only thing you need an intervention on is not playing enough

Haha tell my wife that! She thinks I've been playing it too much. One day she'll learn you can never play Fallout enough.

This one is pretty fantastic, couldn't get it to embed so you'll have to click on the link.

Has anyone found the Preston Garvey imitator? He ran away after I outed him so I shot him in the back. I'm not sure if anything else can be done with him.
