One thing I'm impressed with, is that I'm still finding stuff to loot in Sanctuary, even though I feel like I've picked the place clean a dozen times. Like, while removing all the white picket fences, I found a cellar with some loot inside and wild mutfruit bushes outside. Or while removing furniture in one house, I found a well hidden floor safe (not the one under the crib). I also found a stimpack that had escaped my notice thus far.

This game is really bad for my OCD :D

The best part about the new dialog system is that your character says various things when skipping dialog.

Including overly disinterested "mm-hmms", scoffing, "ugh..", "dumb robot" (when talking to Codsworth), and more!
Describing it doesn't do it any justice. It's awesome.

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

Man, institute gear is pretty swanky, got myself a focused institute laser rifle and it's been carrying me for a good while now, especially since it's become my sniper rifle.

I ran out of Steel. Someone help me  :(

One thing no one further praised, is how the urban part of the map is great. I just got to the beginning of it - Cortega Assmebly Plant (or something like that) and damn. Some great combat was had.

Enemy Outposts are really cool. When they have their own guns, generator and lights deployed.
I think they should've used the Siren as a way to alarm a place of your presence, though. Enemy count is much higher than usual FO3, so it would be cool if the enemy was even more organized. For instance, the spotlight is a really neat addition.

Then again, I've only fought Raiders, Gunners, Boomers and Super Mutants, so maybe there's some more different tactics around.

It honestly feels like a lot of their problems came from the fact that their entire team was composed of cats, and the people who were supposed to be herding them were also cats.

That's easily 50% of what I've been doing since I started playing.  :P

Oh man, right? It's all these little details that are making it so much more fun.


That was also when I discovered PSA INBOUND that power armor doesn't drain energy from cores when you fast travel. As long as you've got map markers already set you can magically warp it into place for battle and leave the same way.


Oh, and yeah. The big-ass Brotherhood surprise has been in town for less than a week. While I was shooting up some supermutants a Vertibird did a flyover and shot me up. Turns out that there were Gunners inside instead of Brotherhood, so I shot it down.

I'm not sure if this is part of their attempt at a radiant interfaction combat system, letting other factions nab Vertibirds like this. Have to say, though, things really heat up after the Brotherhood shows up to the party. No spoilers.

...and then there are the little things that are actually huge, totally, I swear.

Power armour is so cathartic to break out when you have to retreat tail behind your legs from something like a deathclaw, come back and stop the bastard.
On the note, I now have three separate unused suits of power armour, it's insane.

Here's another little thing: the hidden lore details are a lot more grim than it felt like they were in FO3/NV. I've stumbled across five or six really nasty recordings, logs, and tableaus. Not to mention

Shouldn't... shouldn't that have been spoilered?
Shitballs, hopefully I can forget that before I get a chance to play the game. Serves me right for reading this thread knowing full well it was a bad idea, though. >.>

Quick question: are you able to target Suicider enemies' bombs like you can target other enemies' weapons?

Not to mention killing Red Tourette while raiding that facility and literally stepping over her cooling corpse to find letters written to her from her kidnapped sister. I spent a good three hours real-time tracking down the location mentioned in them only to find that the rival raider gang apparently accidentally killed her.

So, what are the worst bugs you guys encountered so far? I just had my first CTD for unknown reason, but 15+ hours in and with a autosave system that fires roughly every five steps its merely inconvenient.

The worst real bug I encountered was when I first found dogmeat and tried to use the chemistry station. Queue molerat ambush. Exited the station....and realized I was apparently paralyzed turning in circles. Happened a second time when I accidentally a computer another Companion was using.

Personally I've heard of the Dogmeat Tornado of Death glitch, involving Dogmeat spontaneously rising into the sky and every enemy around him dying inexplicably, with Dogmeat ending up back on the ground right after.

I heard that Beth plans on hosting mods themselves. Has me worried, stinks of the paid modding debacle which you know we haven't seen the last of.

Hopefully we will still have to option to use Nexus.
