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"
NIN's "Every Day Is Exactly The Same"
Any other suggestions?
Interesting...any ideas on how to resolve it?
I just turned it back up and resaved the config. We’ll see if it happens again. None of the other settings got touched.
I would think I somehow did it inadvertently but you have to do several to screw with the fans. Switch the window to ‘Professional” mode, click ‘manual’ move the slider, hit apply and then save. Not a ‘oops!” scenario.
Strange.
Just as a side note, the cooling system with the three twirly things that go WOO! WOO! WOO! works pretty damn good. When I redid the fanspeed I cranked them to cool it down and it went form 78 to 58 in about 10 seconds.
I figure I was running fanless for probably close to 1/2 an hour and it took that long for the thing to heat up to problem range.
Kudos to Asus for a good heat sink/pipe design.
Hopefully just a one time hiccup...
So far, so good.
HA! True dat.
*back to lurk mode*
I was inclined to leave the Aryan Brotherhood of Steel stewing in their hole, until they sent a hit team after Ronnie and me — when Ronnie decided to help the Doctors Without Borders guys.
Fortunately, they forgot to change their lock after giving me the key, and I went about the task of making them pay for their mistakes. Failed numerous times on my own (Ronnie wouldn’t come along) so decided instead to take out their patrols using nuclear cluster bombs from my Fat Boy.
Ronnie got miffed the first time I did it, and left in a huff. Took several thousand bucks of my arms and armor with her when she left. Women!
Went back to nuking their patrols on my own until I realized that “open world” does not mean “open plot” — and no matter how many of the A-holes I killed outside, the number in their bunker didn’t deplete.
Hired Boone as a sidekick and went back in again, but still had no success until I leveled up enough to hack their computerized defenses.
Now, they didn’t seem so advanced once I saw that not only did their computerized defense have “Kill Our Own Guys On the First Floor” as an option — but it was the very first one on the list.
So I took pleasure rubbing out the last of those putzes in the basement. (I had actually felt worse about exterminating the Mongols.) And Boone just seemed to enjoy killing anybody.
They should never have effed with me. I would been perfectly happy to leave them alone.
“...when Ronnie decided to help the Doctors Without Borders guys.”
The problem is obvious. You support the gay agenda and clearly a terrorist enabler. Worse still, you acted like a total leftist after the Brotherhood took you into their home out of the fruits of human goodness in their hearts after they found you banging rocks together...and you killed them for it.
Not only did you kill them for it, but you set out intentionally on a jihad. And you are shocked (SHOCKED I TELL YOU!!!) that they tried to rid the wasteland of such a person?
First off, in a world striving to repopulate after the last batch of liberals in power nearly succeeded in eradicating all traces of humanity, you get cozy with a female that militantly refuses to breed, cross dresses as a matter of course and then makes you go full metal terrorist on a fast food joint full of innocent people interested in their exotic dining hobby because in her gender dysphoria, she decides she really wants wear a dress afterall.
Then, not content with your mass slaughter, you make like Osama Bin Badass and start popping of military guys trying to keep the world safe from your wretched kind because you were rejected by a dysfunctional transvestite.
THEN you go hire a royally screwed up PTSD psychopath that went bug nuts on a camp full of children with a sniper rifle, whose best bud is an ex member of the gang that helped put a bullet in your head; and that murdered his own wife along with getting his jollies shooting men in skirts.
Based on the available evidence, I don’t think you want to make America great again.
Yes.
I’m an awful person.
Just ask either of my exes.
You just need a hug. I saw a deathclaw up in a mountain pass by Primm. They love to give teH huggies. See, Deathclaws don’t care about a person’s past actions. They only care about the person they see before them in the here and now.
If we were all more like Deathclaws, the world would be a better place.
OMG There is so much to do. I’ve logged 209 hours, and only just cleared the Castle, and finished a bare handful of sidequests. I have stopped living my real life. No more work, no bathing, no eating, no sleeping. I am wired up on coffee and meth, and haven’t left my house since the release date.
SEND HELP
That’s what the Addictol is for...
See the funny pic I posted.
Funny in a “Ha ha I’m dying of gamma radiation” way.
DAMN Laz!
I will admit, I have been working my Ass off at work lately and somehow I managed to put in 30 hours already, How the Hell did I do that? I haven't done anything in the game!!!
Yes but, how many bottle caps do you have?
The only way to play....comatose at the keyboard.
I’m killin’ as fast as I can Captin’! ;)
I wonder if they have D-Wave doing the satanic puppy dream pix. Or hopefully working on Lydia’s AI...
Perhaps Laz is turning into a ghoul from the radiation from his monitor. Don’t worry. If he goes feral I know a railroad tunnel we can shove him in until we decide how to kill him.
