    Every playthrough I clear out the quarry of deathclaws as early as possible with nothing but dynamite and a recharger rifle. The earlier the better. It gets less fun the higher your level is. It takes forever and it's very hard. But it's worth it. It's a lot of fun and there's actually an...

    Biggest thing..... if you thought other Fallout and TES games were glitchy. WHOAHOHOHOHO! You've not seen anything yet. New Vegas is one of the glitchiest games I have ever played. It crashes frequently. Biggest thing you need to worry about is making frequent saves. And do not trust your...

    DarkOne, owner of Nexus mods, posted an absolutely massive article discussing the issues with Fallout 4 (and the upcoming Skyrim) mods on consoles. The ethical concerns of consoles having mods, the actions of mod theft going on, Bethesda's sluggishness at addressing the theft, anti-PC console...

    It wasn't just the short production time. They absolutely refused to add ANYTHING they cut in later patches or the DLCs. The DLCs were entirely new content. Good content with higher production values than the base game itself, but adding very, very little to the actual base game world. And as...

    A small incremental patch for Fallout 4 was just released. Patch 1.5.3. It hasn't done much. But it still is a rather large patch on consoles, 500 MB or so. It didn't do anything to fix the bugs in Wasteland Workshop and Far Harbor. It just enabled support for the last three DLCs and fixed a few...

    Just a minor example, but one extremely serious one they never fixed was an issue with corrupting autosaves. The game frequently had problems with crashing and lockups when you are in a loading screen. Most common place for this to happen is entering Elder Elijah's shack just south of Novac...

    Uh... no. I never want Obsidian to do another Fallout again. I love how they handled the story and their companions were way, way more interesting than even the Fallout 4 companions but.... no. Obsidian is way, way too irresponsible of a gaming company for me to ever trust them again. So much of...

    Well they'll know it for the next TES now won't they? They've been learning each time. They're always super reluctant to making big changes within the same game, but they've been open to new ideas for their next titles.

    Didn't mean offense. It's just been my experience that generally PC gamer complaints about UI problems are nearly always lies, and I have yet to encounter a case where it hasn't at least been exaggerated to some degree. Usually with a clear and obvious "consoles suck" agenda to them. Dragon Age...

    What's wrong with the UI? I haven't had any issues with it. I know you insist you are not representative of the typical PC gamer, but this is an extremely typical PC gamer complaint that a console gamer would almost never make. And they only would if it was particularly bad (Fable III's UI for...

    This is why I waited one patch before playing Automatron. And put off Far Harbor as long as I could. Unfortunately it looks like I'll be going into it very soon with no new patch in sight. It always takes at least a week, sometimes two, for the patches to get out of beta, then another to get...

    I'm hoping Bethesda rolls back on its decision to disable achievements/trophies if you have mods enabled. Particularly because of how there are bugfix mods that fix errors Bethesda refuses to fix, that might prevent you from getting certain achievements in the first place. But regardless I'm...

    Paid mods are never alright. There are a lot of different reasons why. I'll try to run them down. First is the obvious, building on the property of someone else. Maybe you're using a character from another franchise, or perhaps you're building off someone else's mod. Steam and Bethesda never...

    There's a little more detail here: http://gamerant.com/steam-update-paid-mod-123/ There were terms like "author controlled monetization" and "profit splitting" added to Steam's translation strings.

    I am actually a bit worried paid mods will be rearing their ugly head again and will be introduced to Fallout 4 on all three systems. There are few things that indicate this might be the case. First of all, no Bethesda game that has an official mod utility has delayed the release of that...

    The 1.5 patch is finally out of beta. It actually launched two days ago on Steam. Consoles usually get the patches about ten days after PC. So we can expect it on consoles within two weeks.

    Okay, everything about framerates I completely reject as bunk that ignores actual computer science. It's propaganda meant to push this narrative. I can't trust what they're alleging to be 30 fps isn't actually 32 fps or 27 fps, which would look terrible. I explained that before. You can't train...

    The Fallout 4 Thread (Tunnel Snakes Rule and if you disagree I will kill you)

    Here's where I strongly differ with the PC gaming community a LOT. If you run your game at purely 60fps and compare it to purely 30 fps, they will not look any different whatsover. Human eyes really are not good enough to do that. In fact even at 30 fps, our brains "cheat" a lot and fill in a...

    Never gonna buy into the high FPS camp. I think it's bunk that ignores a lot of how games actually work. But we can argue all year over that and get no where, so lets not. As for that resolution.... on a topical monitor you won't see a difference. But if you have a larger one, it'll help out...

    Hmm..... yeah, I am not sure I see that as a problem. I don't honestly think you're going to really get anything worthwhile out of a vanilla, unmodified Bethesda game with an SLI setup. For it to get you any appreciable improvement you require mods that replace game resources. The animations are...

    Are you sure about this? I really don't think this is that accurate to be honest. Yeah, sure, there's some charm in the older games that are lost on the newer ones. But I don't know if it's fair to go this far. And besides, you haven't given a chance for Fallout 4 to be modded. We've only...

    Apparently Xbox One is getting the mods in May and PS4 in June. It's almost May now. Since it's obviously going to be part of patch 1.5, and that's still in beta on PC, and consoles typically get patches just shy of two weeks after PC, I think we can expect them towards the end of May on Xbox...

    Mod support is coming! Still a bit of a wait, and no specific timetable yet, but this is the first really in-depth look we've had into it. If they put this out it can't be that far off. It looks like it's going to be part of their big 1.5 patch, which is STILL in beta. Again, despite what some...

    With how much 1.5 has been getting delayed, and how it is still only in beta, I'm guessing it might even get more fixes and updates based on more base game problems and problems in the new DLC before it actually goes to stable release on PC. But we'll just have to wait and see. And it usually...

    The 12th. And the Survival mode didn't actually release today. It's technically not even out on PC yet, still only in beta on PC.

    The explicitly stated they're planning $60 worth of content. The content they just announced was $40. That leaves only $20 left. The largest DLC in this announcement was $25. That would mean that unless they change their mind, we're not going to get anything else as big as Far Harbor.

    Well just looking at the prices, the other two are not full DLCs. They're not meant to provide much. Far Harbor is the main DLC here in this announcement. The other two are minor additions.
