    PIPin' Ain't Easy: The Fallout 4 Thread

    You asked for a Fallout 4 Thread, you got a Fallout 4 Thread!

    So, it comes out this week. Anybody have any clue as to how they'll play? Me, I'll play like an Eagle Scout like I always do, Scar and Spun will take whatever road it takes to let them nuke a town. Who else?

    Oh, and I got the special edition with the PIP Boy arm thingie. I'll letcha all know what I think of it, to be sure.

    I'm a wanderer. Just like the commercial. I collect as many quests as I possibly can and listen closely to the dialog on where they may be pointing me to.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I'm going to start playing and drinking, and see where my mood takes me....

    Leaving work at 11 to play. That's right. I drove into work this morning for 4 hours.

    So I didn't follow the development of this... but I wasn't expecting the building your base aspect. Nor was I expecting the power armor aspect. I'm a little confused on whether I should be building my homestead now or wait. I'm also finding it difficult to keep my armor powered and repaired. Should I keep it hung in my garage for now? Ugh.

    I also do not really like the perk scaling. It seems I can choose anything I want to upgrade right out of the gate as long as I have a few stars. Unclear how many points I will be able to get to upgrade stuff.

    I've barely touched the power armor and homestead, outside of building a few beds and a chair for Sanctuary. I have begun hoarding power supplies for the Power armor though. Granted, I only have a few so far, I think. Played several hours today.

    Found one in a rather irradiated location, another on a quest with a Brotherhood of Steel guy, and I don't recall the third. Was playing with a migraine.

    I have four total. One was at the mass fusion containment shed, I believe. Due east of sanctuary, about halfway across the map.

    I gotta keep my eyes open. I'm just exploring at the moment. Anything pops up on my radar or in the distance I just walk to it.

    Wandered to a greenhouse and got destroyed by some flying fuckers. Might dust off the power armor tomorrow and check it out again.

    Whoa, you can build a house? I have a feeling I'll be spending a lot of time tooling around and making my post-apocalyptic dream home. With waterslides!

    I tinker armor and weapons. The household will be one of the last things I do. Need me a sniper rifle....

    Giantbomb lowered their score a whole level for the console version, saying its near broken.

    Apparently the frame rate is so bad, in open areas with several enemies it dips to the single digits.

    Anyone experiencing these issues yet?

    I was gonna buy it, but after I read that I might not until some patches and fixes come out.

    I feel bad for anyone playing any Bethesda game on console.

    Why? Because of the bugginess?

    Because he's part of the PC master race.

    Hey, it's a Bethesda open world sandbox RPG. I've come to expect the occasional slowdown and weirdness for the first few weeks.

    Speaking of Bethesda, it's 4 years to the day since Skyrim was released and subsequently sucked my social life away. And sometime today, Fallout 4 is gonna show up on my doorstep, and here we go all over again.
