Listening to the reviews was a mistake!

All based on the same preset and all look the same/similar. In FO4 we can create dozen of good looking men and women that look different. Right now, the FO4 CC is second only to Black Desert Online... add various mods to FO4 like look menu, cbbe, body slide, eye retexture, mouth + teeth retexture, face + skin retexture and you get yourself some great looking characters and it takes just few minutes. I spent more hours trying to make a good looking Ryder then to downloading and installing all PC related mods for FO4, loaded a preset and made a few tweaks.

I love MEOT, I gues more then FO4, but FO4 is lightyears ahead of MEA. Whatever, can we stop that comparisons? If you want to praise or bitch at FO4 go their forums.

What, you fought with it? LOL... sorry, nothing else to say about this.
Start the launcher (wonder how you start FO4) first option aspect ratio, second is already resolution, at the bottom of the window you can check for windowed and borderless, when both unchecked it is fullscreen. It does not take a genius to get it.
Motion sickness... yah, head bobbing, you are right, that is bad and no way to disable it, but Bethesda got enough hate because of it. Btw a) there is a mod that fixes it to some degree and go in 3d mode.
No intro? He? War, war never changes... yah no intro. And yes there are no cutscenes as this game is not about that, like the ME games. Talking about nothing to do.. you know, that is how Bethesda games of that sort (TES, Fallout) all start, an introductionary scene without much to do more then creating your character and introducing you to the world. Do you think MEA was any different? Ryder waking up, talking to Lexi, grabbing gear bla bla bla.
I do not expect you to love or like the game, but judging by the first 10 minutes? Funny thing, it is people like you who are upset when people judge MEA after their first 10minutes. Actualy THE very reason I never said anything about the game until I finished my first PT.

There's also an abundance of mod, adding higher texture resolutions and skins to the faces. Taking care of the eyes, the hairstyles, and, and, and. Providing the companions with entirely new looks, body shapes, skins and AI behavior. Again, and, and, and...

Why do I mention this? Because as opposed to Bioware games, there's a thriving modding community taking care of Bethesda games. Iron out the flaws, patch the game even and add new features that should have been in the base game in the first place.

Bioware doesn't really support modding, so what you get by the company is largely what you're stuck with. That's the major difference between Bioware and Bethesda. With Bethesda games you can be sure that one or two months after release, you already will have an abundance of quality mods that improve the games largely. Close to 17.000, not only two years after release for FO4 on the nexus site. Compared to Bioware titles that's yuuge, as Trump would say. Even for the most moddable game, DA Origins, there are only 2400 files, MEA so far has 139, most of them presets for better looking Ryders. That's because of the game engine and the company not being willing to offer any support.

If after 10 hours, you cannot suspend your disbelief, the game is not for you.

About 10 hours into FO4, is when I really started to enjoy it. About the time you get to Diamond City.

I did not judge the game by the first few minutes, I judged the graphics and the look of it. My post specifically said that I did not like how my characters looked vs Andromeda.

In full window borderless mode the game opened in a tiny 800x600 window. I searched the net, and it was something that required editing ini to fix. Try googling "FO4 starts in a tiny window" if you can't take my words on faith. Even to get into graphics Options you have to quit the game first with FO4, unlike Bio games that allow you to do so in the in-game menus. 

The selection of options do not include my 2560x1080 resolution. I have to run it as a 1920x1080 window. 

Between the CC I have to "learn to use" which in one hour of learning gives me a crappy looking character (unless you going to tell me that my character looks stellar) or apply mods to spend even more time and efforts on researching it first then adding it to the game in hopes to create something not offputting, and and something I can create beautiful and decent looking characters in 10 minutes that are life-like of the get go, I will pick the latter.

In respect to mods overall, nowadays I prefer to go clean. One of the biggest exciting things I have discovered after my return from hiatus that games stopped requiring modding to be fitted to what I wanted them to be. Then Inquisition changed that and I was not happy, but overall, I try not to hack, and hacking became way more difficult since I was young and foolish. Hats of to modern modder generation, but I am trying to be an "out of the box" girl.

I absolutely prefer the introductions in the game like Andromeda, where I get into cutscenes from the start and get clear directions as to what I am supposed to do. One of the reasons I did not buy the game was that if it cannot guide me through the intro, this means I will not get much directions further down the road. I like my quest markers, triangles over the character heads when you need to talk to them, journal and crumb trails. Because the game was so weak on that point to start with, and took starting it the second time to trigger the visit from the salesman (I have no idea what even triggered the bell) I knew I am not going enjoy it because I get really frustrated every time when I do not know what to do next or do not know how to get to the quest objective. I had it enough times in Inquisition to know that it's not for me.

It was not ten minutes of playing, it was an hour of frustration, of first having to figure out the start-up issues, then the CC, then the house with nothing happening, and feeling sick.

When I restarted, my character still looked ugly, things started happening, I did not like the exteriors or interiors, and I was sick.

I am sure people with more time and dedication will be willing to pop motion sickness pills, and go on, but for me, well, the life's too short. 

There is nothing I can say but that I did not like the artwork, and I simply cannot play FO4 & that I noticed a few things all Bio games of the last decade do in a more to my liking manner.  

What?

I bloody well don't take your word for it, since you obviously don't even know the basics of how Bethesda games always worked. There's a popup window that has a big fat options menu on it, where you don't need any ini file to change your settings to the desired level. Before you even start the game from the same popup. If you don't do that, it's your fault and noone else's.

No, no, after you go into options. I set my options to full screen, and then got to watch the whole reel about S.P.E.C.I.A.L in a tiny window & then the game was stuck in it. Here is the thread with the folks having the same troubles, and running it as Admin did not fix it for me. I ended up with setting it up for Windowed 1920x1080 eventually, and that's how I've played it, and that's the resolution my screenshots are taken at. I do like the support Bio gives for my screen and that it never had a problem with it. I adore my curved EW, and sure wanna the games to like it too. It was not exactly the make it or break it factor, the motion sickness/graphics was what made me not buy the game.

The modded faces are lovely, but they do not resemble what you see in the CC at all. I would have never guessed they come from the same game & I am not sure how people managed to beat the CC into submission to create them. I think it's beyond my ability to replicate these results.

If the FO4 CC allowed me create faces that look similar to those modded ones easily, I'd have absolutely no problem with it & would be all over it.

Fallout 4 CC and graphics vs ME:A? How about no.




Both unmodded, both from cutscenes.

Or how about ingame:




Still no.

I can handle getting flamed by them. I'm well used to it. I'm British, left wing and I support Labour and Jeremy Corbyn. I've been absolutely carpet bombed by these alt right types on other forums and social media. I mostly find it amusing, given that so many of them are hardly capable of constructing a coherent sentence.

 But I don't like arguing off topic, and getting into an online political row on a gaming forum would just totally derail the thread. Enough that I pointed out that I have a suspicion about what's going on. Those who share this suspicion will know what I mean without me having to laboriously explain it all in detail.
