The Official Fallout 4 Thread

Had to do it. Had to create the thread. The game is too damned good. This thread is reserved for hardcore gamers who play Fallout 4. Norm, KC, TADSLOS and I have hijacked so many threads discussing this game, I felt we needed our own thread.

Fallout 4 is amazing. The content is excessively large. There is so much to explore, you could replay this game 10 times and not find every mission or quest. The characters are so much better fleshed out than any other game I have played. Even the radio announcer of Diamond City Radio will have you doubling over in laughter, he's so inept at radio announcing. :) Your companions will pitch in with consistently new, sometimes insightful, and almost always area- or mission appropriate comments. I even got Piper (the hot Reporter chick) to sleep with me. It took a lot of sweet talking. But now she's in love. "Piper, how do you feel about our relationship?" Her answer: "Blue, this is as close to nirvana as I will ever find. Who knew a jaded reporter like me would find love in a wasteland?"

Fallout 4 is so graphics-intensive that I had to upgrade my video card to the GTX970 from Nividia, and I am so glad I did. 4 gigs of video memory, and a solid GPU array. Now I get 60 FPS (at the best) down to about 30 FOS (at the worst) with occasional dips to an unacceptable 24 FPS when in extremely busy, high clutter city areas with lots of combatants.

Our first topic: I want to mod the songs. I want change the Classical Radio Station to play songs I like.

I have six titles so far, that would fit in this game:

Filter's "Hey Man, Nice Shot" to be triggered during combat

Drowning Pool's "Let The Bodies Hit The Floor", also triggered during combat.

Lil Jon's "Turn Down For What"

Disturbed's "Down With The Sickness"

Metallica's "Enter Sandman"

NIN's "Every Day Is Exactly The Same"

Any other suggestions?

I will play this game as soon as I find the time for it (which, being a Bethesda game, is hard to do).

Are the ghouls still whiny characters, perfect parodies of liberals?

Does this game have anything equivalent to the Experimental MIRV from 3 or the C-finder from New Vegas in terms of raw destruction?

Are the factions more open-ended like NV, or do they have a faction which is annoyingly perfect like the Brotherhood from 3?

I’d be playing Fallout 4 but I took an arrow to the knee.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

If the store does good next month then maybe I can afford it.

It sounds so good.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Since when did FR become about video games?

[Fhios]

Love to play it sometime. I hear the PC version is simply horrible. So I’ve been avoiding it and playing world of warships.

[Objective Scrutator]

Memes. Memes never change.

We all need a break from the BS now and again.

You sure you have the hi-res texture pack installed and checked at the launcher, don't forget to get the unofficial patches for each DLC from Steam workshop.

I'm replaying Skyrim now fully maxed and it's gorgeous maybe not GTA5 or FO4 good but Skyrim still has it's stunning moments.

“Since when did Fr...?” I’ve seen some obscure thread topics over the years. So?

[Norm Lenhart]

F4 looks damn good as is but yea, a CBBE body set is manditory once they port it ;)

[Norm Lenhart]

Thats exactly what it is. Mental training.

[Rebelbase]

My kids are so into this game that they went out and bought a replacement 55” tv today.

[crazydad]

I am playing it and I love it! So much fun.

[American in Israel]

Yeah, Freeperville is usually between video games...

I have been holding out for later your making me sweat it out Laz.

Cruel

[FreedomStar3028]

No.

[Norm Lenhart]

Same physical size BUT almost the entire map is accessible. So effectively way more area to explore.

[crazydad]

I had wasteland on the C64 also. Loved it.
