I'm only at lvl 15 and had just finished clearing out the settlement to the southwest of the asylum of the supermutants so I didn't stand much of a chance.

I'm a level 12 with 20 hours of game time. This game is damn impressive, the amount of work that went into this is ridiculous - just insane. I'm at a mission in the single story where I have to find a guy named Virgil by the glowing sea (I'm going to be vague so I don't spoil anything) problem is, when I select to mark the location on my map via the pip-boy....the marker moves when I get to it and last night I found out that you can travel outside the border of the original map??? Crazy shit...How friggin' big is this game?

I'm having trouble finding the virgil dude but I don't want any help. What's funny as well as I've done some much side shit (mainly finding stuff) that when I meet new people in towns and they give me a task, I just remove the item from whatever companion I stored it on and talk to them again and just like that....task completed

Single story is awesome so far and I also love how when you reach the town of Good Neighbor
Spoiler:
You run into the vault tec guy who sold you a place in vault 111 in the beginning of the game

My sister, who is in her mid-30s and never plays videogames, now wants an Xbox One to play this

WOM seems to be pretty impressive on it.

Re: Fallout 4

Also, just can't believe how much there is to do in one town...new rooms open up, new characters arrive, etc...I went out to fight and gain some XP with Piper and when I came back to diamond city, some guy was marrying the robot you met in the class room who asked you about love to the teacher It was somewhat disturbing so I just ran past them

Then I wonder what someone who is in their 50's wanting to play this...even though they already have a PS4....

Yep this game came up in a conversation last night as some of mention seeing several on our friends list playing it. Maybe between now and end of the year it will go on sale even though we have Dying Light and Bloodborne going not to mention Destiny. I just like seeing all the comments of the different experiences everyone is having....an open world of the unexpected and unplanned

That's it? Every Bethesda game has been like this. You say that as if it's something new and different.

Re: Fallout 4

Most of the time I have to run away from NPC's from overload of side quests. "STOP GIVING ME QUESTS!"

Saw this on facebook. Don't know if it's true or Internet shenanigans.

Re: Fallout 4

That type of perspective would be too subjective, mostly because fallout will carry via wind.

Well, this is the kind of shit they came up with in the 50's. In grade school, we had atomic air raid drills where we were made to get under our desks and bent over with our head between our legs, covering the back of our neck with our hands. Yes, really. The adults seemed to take it seriously. The kids called it "kissing your ass goodbye".

Re: Fallout 4

Here's a fun fact, during the development of Fallout 4, the devs actually ported Skyrim over to the Xbox One. The Skyrim rendering engine was then determined to not be compatible and thus had to be updated.

So the obvious question, are they working on a HD version of Skyim for the next gen consoles?

Hooked up with the Atom Cats. That was a fun side quest. Preston is becoming a pest. Lots of Minutemen side missions to do and most are retreads. Granted, I level up, ammo up, and stock caps.

Oh yeah I remember hearing stories of that , they kept doing those through most of the cold war as well.

The fun fact about that is the proper thing to do, flying glass and debris accounted for about 30% of the deaths in Hiroshima and 16% on Nagasaki. The shockwave will carry further than the blast, and it's tough to get a move on if you have shards of glass sticking out of your neck.

Of course, Little Boy and Fat Man were minuscule compared to that crazy shit that's come since. I mean, the Tsar Bomba will fuck up your day.

Probably will utilize the modding FO4 will use.

Unless it's a new area I just started letting those fail out. Seems like every time I go to Sanctuary he's giving me 2-3 of those quests.
