On an unrelated note, the legendary drops are pretty sweet (and the enemies are Q.Q).

Yeah. I've found a Legendary Radroach. That's one thing I wasn't expecting, for sure.

Have you gotten a legendary sentrybot yet? FUCKING. TERRIFYING. I ran into it at night and it lit everything up in something like a 20m radius.

Yes. That's when I decided I could NOT play on Very Hard, and that I needed better weapons. He's sitting there quietly while I try to find some nuke to throw at him.  :P

I also saw Dogmeat beat the shit of a Feral Ghoul Roamer, throwing him to the ground and all that. There are some details and animations that go down on combat now that makes it all really neat.
The way Ghouls work now are really cool. Except when they don't stop coming and you forget to look at your HP bar.

Goodness, yes, when there's a swarm of 5-7 plus a Glowing One or something. x.x

I really am surprised by how much I like Dogmeat in combat. That dog's judo throw is quite helpful.

You'll probably want that perk that increases core use time, then.
Is Power Armor upgrading modular like regular armor is?
Which one is that?

And yeah, it is.

If you like the Fallout 3/NV games and Skyrim go for it. lots of content.
If you didn't like the format of those games, then I'd say pass.

From what I played last night I enjoyed it quite a bit so far.

I think it's also fair to mention that someone who liked Fallout 3/NV/Skyrim but remembers all the annoyances, should know that the annoyances have been minimized.
Like simply giving your companion gear, and pressing button to tell them to equip it. I had to mod Skyrim for that to work properly without pissing me off, for instance.

And the best feature, of course, is finding something like a dog bandana and equipping Dogmeat with it.
He's wearing a skull bandana, so cute!
I think I already like this dog too much.

I honestly think that I will leave him at home/base/whatever. With all the annoyances evident in companions, and my tendency to stick to a stealthy playstyle in combat, they just don't seem worth the hassle of accidentally triggering an enemy into a cautioned state and OH SHIT GOTTA GO HAM RAAAAAWR.

Plus, Skyrim's companions in particular were really bad about not hitting traps and getting stuck on them. Repeatedly. Until you got bored and killed or dismissed them.

They were the only pack mules, though.

Since I can't play for a few days, I started listening to the Canticle for Liebowitz.  Since it's said to have inspired the BoS and, to some extent, Fallout itself!  I haven't got far, but the first 1.5 episodes seem pretty nice.  I think the site has a bunch of other old radio shows too!

With 300 base carrying capacity, I honestly never felt the need for pack mules.  Then again, I eventually took to using the bandoliers mod that greatly boosted your carrying capacity even further.  Definitely helps with avoiding pack mules. :P

Computer doesn't have the reqs to run it and I had to refund. So unless I want to blow 700 bucks on a new laptop, RIP Fallout.

Finally played this game for like two hours. It's pretty cool. Can't wait to actually get the perks and stuff so I can make cool guns and upgrade my power armor eee.

Really, this game is easy to describe. It's a Bethesda game. Longer version: It has quite a few neat QoL things such as being able to browse small inventories easily without opening a menu or pausing the game. However, it also has a companion of questionable utility which I feel morally obliged to keep alive, so there's that. I may also just leave him, take the solo perk and play solo, like in Skyrim. Also, random junk has a use now, which is pretty cool!

Has anybody been using the app? I didn't order a pip-boy, but I did end up squeeing at the demo mode of the app for a good ten minutes :P
Didn't bother to hook it up yet, but the map looks pretty convenient.

And man, I'm having a hard time choosing perks. There's just soo many, and I have no idea how useful any of them are and there's so many of them x.x

Spoiler: very small spoilers (click to show/hide)

Which reminds me, the dialogue subtitles seem really buggy, especially when there's multiple people talking. I also can't just read and then skip the speech,because you can't skip. Oh well, that'll be easily modded.

I've found the subtitles pretty buggy, but I can skip with my controller (yes, I know, but I'm used to it for Fallout) with the a button.
