I see it on my saves

I don't like how I constantly have to quicksave in this game. If you forget and you've traveled pretty far - sorry about your luck.

It pisses me off but no enough to talk bad about the game or anything.

It says how much time you have on a save before you load it. Or if you are on PC you can go by Steam played time, but that obviously includes time paused.

If not for the Dogmeat (glitch?) thing, I'd say Lone Wanderer is not worth it, unless you just hate playing with a NPC. Which is understandable since the companions do some fucktarded things. I've died so many times because they stand in a hallway and don't let me out. You get plenty of damage absorption and (at least) 100lbs of carry weight from having a companion just to start with, plus there are perks to make them better (but still fucktarded).

I found my playtime...my last few saves were quicksaves and autosaves which do not show playtime...

I am at 29 hours, at level 28....I did not know I had played that much.

Thanks, I'm so used to a level cap I totally ignored that perk, but in this game it seems pretty worthwhile.

I was iffy on Codsworth as a companion over dogmeat, but he earned his keep on this mission.

I really hope they add in the ability to sort by weapon types in your inventory and storage. It's gotten so annoying I'm gonna make separate weapon crates in my workshop.

Hoarder!

I'm about 12 hours into it and I finally encountered a trader so I could sell stuff (located by Walden Pond). Am I missing something obvious? This seems like the first RPG I've played where there wasn't some kind of store at the beginning of the game. I have a tool box filled with chunk, armor and weapons but no where to ditch it.

I ran into a trader right away at Abernathy Farms.

You should be scrapping all that stuff anyways not selling it. Unless it's like some high level stuff. 99% of what you find is better used as scrap.

Man, I wish the gameplay timer had some sort of cut off while standing idle. I've fallen asleep a couple times over the 4 - 5 hours I've played the game and now my in-game time is like 17 hours.

35 hours now...game is fantastic.

I was not a fan of the perk system at first, but I am really enjoying it now. I also wish I had put more into Luck early on. I have spent 4 levels now leveling up luck, because some of these perks are amazing.

I was at least 9 or 10 hours before I found a trader, but it turns out the only stuff I sell is stuff that there is made up of really common stuff that I won't need to build anything. I mostly use the traders to buy radaway, occasional stimpacks, and bullets when I'm running low with the various caps I find around. I am a total hoarder (in games) naturally, and the crafting system in this game just feeds that since so much of the junk has a use.

redbill

took me a while to find one too, Diamond City was my first.

Transfer junk to a workshop where you do most of your crafting. I mostly only sell weapons and armor I don't want.

Did you find the "you're special" book? It's in your old house where your kids room used to be. It allows you one extra point in one of your abilities.

Rename your weapons, adding the ammo type before the name so they'll be grouped together (i.e. change "My Handgun" to "10mm My Handgun").

I'm only about 3 hours in now, but I'm loving it. Although my plan was to stick to the main quest for as long as possible, I think I'm going to do some side stuff for awhile, just to level up.

I think the dialog structure is fine. It's more like Life is Strange, where the options hint at what the character is going to say, but instead of having it written out, she speaks it instead. I'm cool with that. It's a little more ambiguous than what some people want, but I don't think it hurts the game.

Is there an easy way to tell on the map if you've been to a location or not? Other than selecting it to see if you can fast travel of course.

I find myself getting sidetracked often in the game. When trying to walk to a new location, I will see new location icons pop up on the compass and I'll go searching after those to discover them.

Also (spoilers in case someone hasn't found this group/location yet.



Also I have a glitched quest it seems. I can't get it to progress. I met Ness and she wanted me to meet her at a crash sight. I get there and she's present, though the marker isn't on her. It's slightly behind her in another location. I went to it and to her and pressed A to talk to her. She won't talk to me to let me do whatever needs to be done

Last time I'm going to complain about the speech system (for today at least), but I'm guessing you've never played another Fallout game then?

bryce0lynch

About 20 hours in, no where near the main quest and I've managed to avoid crafting until now.

Until now. I've now got the bug hard and am going back and systematically looting to load up my workshop.

My motivation was tricking out the RA laser rifle. Oh damage/accuracy ... what a seductive siren you are ..

Dan

I played 3 and NV extensively. I get the complaint. I really do. It just doesn't bother me at all (so far, I'm still barely anywhere in the game), and I prefer the spoken dialog vs written.

Ugh...so many mistakes playing this so far. A couple of questions the Power Armor has everyone been using it since you found it? I ran out of power and didn't know what to use or if I even had it. I see it listed in some responses here but I am wondering if it will be where I left it (vault 111).

Couldn't get the dog to get me the special weapon...but didn't know I had to kneel down it appears. I need to go back to the vault anyway to check my armor.

I am about level 10 just started playing and cleared out the raiders and killed Jared. Could anyone get on the platform where he was?

I have had the subtitle glitch that has been mentioned and one in the water. I got stuck and couldn't move and died.

Why So Blu?

The last group/areas I hit was the Crater area. Got attacked by a bunch of religious nutbags using energy weapons that give you 99pts of radiation poisoning. They're also a bit hard to kill. I'm inly at level 25. I did spot nuke mines that surround their area and shooting one ignites a giant nuke-like explosion. It's only in a name since it really doesn't nuke everything. I think it has the same power as the bombs that the suicidal Super Mutants carry.
