Ooooooh, it's free to try FO4 on steam, and 68% off. I think it's my sign right there to attempt it. I have no idea what to expect, but I am thinking it's something like Taris in SWTOR.

Well, unfortunately it was not like Taris. I guess, it's another one of those times I tried something different than BioWARE only to run right back to BioWARE. FO4, despite being only 1 year old would not adapt to my EW monitor. I finally fought it into a window the same size I run a 10+ yo Dragon Age:Origins on. And guess what? The 10+ yo Origins also looks better (!) on that resolution and monitor.
The initial reel was super-funny and the couple's interaction during the CC was neat, but afterwards... the character body models were stiff & unnatural, interface for the CC was painful and characters looked like in old games, so very dead after Andromeda. But I can leave with that. But then the game just... left me to myself. No intro, no creative tutorial veiled as a cool action sequence as in all Bio games, no directions whatsoever. Just... standing in an apartment.
So, yeah, I guess, I am happy it was a free trial.

I know this will likely never happen. I've always wanted a Fallout set outside the United States. London is my first choice. I'd like to see Russia Go to Sarah Palin's house.

Such a beautiful view. Started a new game of F4. Love this game like 3 and Vegas This part of the game is so retarded, though. If you can see the explosion, you're as good as dead. Also they even show the blast wave reaching the protagonist, and that blast wave alone should've vaporized them. We're talking nukes here after all.

You can see the bloom, plenty of people have and lived, the Castle Bravo Shot testing, that was done out in the Pacific for example had plenty of men who survived that explosion, I don't think a single one died in the blast. Radiation is a different story, I think most died over the following years. Merely seeing the blast won't kill you outside of being a few miles away from it. Sixteen to twenty miles is plenty of distance to not vaporize, unless if we are talking about a explosive on the scale we've never detonated anyway, even the big Russian nukes death range was less then twenty miles for immediate vaporization. Now Zeon's Operation British produced an explosion of around 500 Megatons and made a fireball about the tenth the size of the sun as I recall, it burned a portion of a continent away and killed people 2,000 miles away from the impact site in Australia. We aren't talking about a explosion that large here, it's a Chinese low to mid yield nuke. But the protagonist here is too close to not die from the blast effects of the shockwave if not the blast itself.

You realize this is a game with vaguely 1950's scifi concept of radiation? I mean, ghouls, giant ants, etc? Just think of it as an excuse to justify the Cannibal, Ghoulish, and Solar Powered perks.

Next you'll try to convince me that people might occasionally look at something of mine and not be planning to steal it.

Actually if you saw the bright flash of the detonation, you would have been blinded, most likely permanently. That flash alone would burn your retinas. Eh again yes and no. Light diffusion is a thing. If you were capable of seeing the detonating bomb from a fair bit away it would lose potency rapidly as it had to travel. Electromagnetic radiation has a relatively low half life unless produced on a massive scale. From a star for example. For example let's say a bomb detonates on a flat plain 1,000 miles away from you, you are quite capable of seeing it go off presuming that the entire area is just a single level area. Do you think that the light produced via the blast would maintain it's energy to the extent required to travel in enough potency to blind you? It depends on how tight the participating particles maintain their density. We'd need a lot more data then simply yes or no here. I'd say no personally though. I think it'd lose concentration a long time before you'd see it. The initial flash might be blinding but diffusion is going to rapidly erode the energy of the light. The science of mass destruction is a subject all its own ya know.

Got Fallout 4 during the Steam weekend and having a blast (haha, get it ) so far. It's weird 'cause I never really could get into FO3 and it really isn't my art-style or setting at all but somehow FO4 managed to suck me in. Maybe it's because you start before the war happens. The beginning of the game, when you come out of the vault and see your home again really gets the atmosphere of the game across. I also really like how they tried to make every area look like therre were actual people living there, whether it's a super market or an insane asylum, the layout of the places, where we find skeletons of people and such, it all makes a lot of sense (which is more than I can say for a lot of other games). It's like they first designed the places as if before the war and then edited in the distruction. If so, kudos, well done. One thing is, I am going for a silent assassin kinda character and at Lvl. 20, the game shows exactly the same weaknesses as Skyrim did. I can one-shoot a guy in the head from stealth (which makes sense) and his pal, who stodd right next to him and sees his head explode will search for me for just about 15 seconds before going back to his normal lethargic self and with the words "uh, must be seeing things." He'll go back and stand right next to his friends headless corpse. WTF? Didn't Bethssda get the hint when people made fun of them because the Dragonborn could shoot ten arrows into people without them noticing? Anyway, other than that, the game really is a lot of fun and I do enjoy the very morbid but humorous little stories within each building. Some of the stuff on those terminals is equal parts disturbing and hilarious, just like you'd expect after the end of the world. Oh, almost forgot, 2 Questions: 1. Is any of the DLC worth it? They seem super expensive and I was pretty mad that Bethesda didn't make a GOTY for this game yet. Also, Nuka World is probably not for me (hat theme parks) but what about Far Harbor? 2. I tried to play FO3 a couple of times but always gave up after a few hours. Maybe I should give it another chance. How different is it from FO4? It seems to me that the games handle pretty differently but maybe it's because I didn't really try to go stealth in FO3 and probably made rather bad decisions during character building in my ignorance. So I am thinking I might give it another go after this. Would people say the games are very different or rather similar over all (I vaguely remember some FO3 fans were kinda bummed out by FO4 for some reason, though I don't know why exactly that was)?

AnDromedary I definitely recommend Far Harbor. It's arguably the best DLC for Fallout 4 in terms of story and roleplaying.

Man, Far Harbor costs over 90 bucks on brazilian psn. Our taxes on games are shit I tell you. At least I managed to buy the automatron and workshop DLCs when they went on sale.

I decided to replay Fallout 4 again after a whole year passed without touching it. And I'm tring to do a no power armor run. And honestly, I wonder how so many players manage to survive this game in such a playstile. I found out pretty quickly that once you're engaged in combat you will need as much endurance as you can get. And I was lucky enough to find two pieces of sentinel armor that gave me 30% damage resistance. And even then, when I acidentally ran into a mirelurk queen at the beach, the only way to beat it was with a combination of med-ex, psychobuff, bufftats, jet and a full clip of 32 point blank shotgun headshots That was pretty overkill. Still not as cheap as human enemies wielding a fatman...

The issue is that my companions usually give away my position while stealthing, especially inside buildings, so usually, a high damage resistance is a must once my cover is blown. And somehow, even though I am using silenced weapons, the enemies somehow know were to look for me when I start shooting. Odd. My current set up of weapons is a fully modded set of the deliverer, assault rifle, combat shotgun, righteous authority laser rifle and a gauss rifle for sniping I recently found during the battle of bunker hill. I just need the perks to mod my gatling laser and then my arsenal will be complete.

For me, companions don't give away my stealth. Oh sure, they get detected but that doesn't mean I am, too. I just let them do their thing until they go dwn and then I pick off enemies the smart way with a silneced weapon. The only really hard part was the beginning, when my stealth would still be very low and I'd get detected as soon as I killed a guy. Did a lot of running away back then but once I got to about lvl. 20 and pretty much one-shot everything from stealth, I was unstoppable. I'd say if anything, it's gotten way too easy.

So I'm starting a new PT of F4, and if there was one thing I was dreading, it was the chore of settlement building and management. But then I found this mod, that transforms the whole thing into a completely different, much less artificial, much more automated experience. Essentially, you lay foundations (or rather plots), assign settlers to them, connect them to electricity, make sure that there's water and security, and then those settlers build and upgrade their homes, businesses, and farms on their own. I'm just starting out, but so far it seems that everything is working as advertised. This guy is genius. How important is it down the line to improve settlements? Whenever I get a new one, I just make sure that ll the demands are in the green and then I leave. While I also don't particularly like building, this is rather painless as usually, it's just 2 water pumps, beds, plants and a few machine gun turrets. So that's easy enough and takes about 2 minutes per settlement. After that, I just leave them to themselves and just come back to repair a turret after an attack if needed. I hope I won't be required to do anything more later on. Still, looks like a nice mod. Oh, btw, I wish I had figured this out before starting my PT but if I were to start again, I'd definitely keep intelligence at 1 and get the "Idiot Savant" perk ASAP. That thing is insane, I figure you would level up like crazy with that combination. And AFAIK, intelligence is only important for crafting related perks, so you can just get it up later if you want to craft. You'll probably drown in perk-points after a while anyway with this.
