I actually started liking it; you just have to watch how many start coming once a tower is put up. And when one had a few over I'd send them to another. And I'd give them better guns as wells. I had one outpost that I got "Outpost ### is under attack" and when I got there not one but two Deathclaws were attacking and a group of Minutemen were in the mix. Turret guns, settlers, Minutemen all blazing away and we took them down...it was hilarious....but the crops do come in handy.

i am probably overleveled now.
I was level 29 when starting the last 10 missions of the main quest (brotherhood of steel) and its quite easy now.
what level do most finished the game at?

I am at level 55 and not even close to finishing it yet. I would guess I am maybe half completed.

You can always up the difficulty every time it starts getting too easy.

This might be my first and last Bethesda console game. I'm going back to PC. Still way too glitchy, and using mods to fix issues with the game disables achievements, which is annoying.

I was really far into the game, mostly using melee combat and noticed that my perception was lowered to one, and had been through many, many saves. Turns out it's been a glitch since the beginning in which your head gets crippled, then healed, but the stat never goes back to normal. I tried launching mini nukes at the ceiling to re-cripple my head dozens of times, but was never able to fix it without using a mod.

Re: Fallout 4
 
Hello

I ended up getting the GOTY Bundle with Skyrim V.....In it I have the Vault 88 DLC which pretty much lets me totally revamp a Vault from top to bottom. I have tons of building options but I'm stuck at providing power. It shows I have 150 Power. However, in the large cave area that was under construction, I have no clue as to how to take power from the small completed area...it's like some large generator inside a control room...and transplant/use in the large unfinished area.

There's some new "Switch" in the switch/controller section that states..."When used it transfers power being used. It's like a flat control box with a pin for attaching a wire. I built a large temporary housing unit with lots of beds ....those pre-fab Vault Housing Units so I can reuse them but ended up using a Gas Generator until I can figure out how to route the existing power to the cave area. I've pulled up pictures of various Vault 88 Housing & Building but I cannot figure out the power part.

...and glad to be back in the game. It looks and plays good still and hard to imagine that Vault 76 will be four times larger with 16 times more detail....

Decided to dust off Fallout 4 and play with a few mods. Shit had an almost 6GB update waiting for me and I was able to get the newer add-ons for free that I didn't already have, which includes Nuka Cola Town? For those that have the game, the PS store is giving them away for free until 11/26/18.

Re: Fallout 4
 
I started playing again this past week, because I added the DLC Nuka World map. All was going well until it was time to fight the guy in the power suit in the arena. There's a glitch where the door is supposed automatically open and let me in to fight the guy but it doesn't open and I am stuck there. I have the PS4 version and trying looking for a workaround and there doesn't seem to be one, which sucks. I'll have to just play the game and avoid Nuka World altogether.

Re: Fallout 4
 
Started playing this again with the mods - they're brilliant!!! The silent hill mod is excellent, siren head is creepy as hell and you can even adjust the settings of the mod via a chem station (the mod at different points in time turns the screen pitch black and you have to fight off a bunch of enemies - it gets old fast) siren head is amazing though, just the design and how close he got the red rocket station I have all my stuff setup at.

The main cheat mod is excellent as well - just open up your pip-boy and literally enable/disable whatever you want - there is even a god mode.

I bought the nuka-world dlc and even though I'm using god mode with it, it's still very enjoyable (also, it's TOUGH, I would have ended up cheating any way lol).

Other mods I like:

Wintertime in the wasteland (requires far harbor and nuka-world dlc)
institute suit
Jetpack (found on the top shelf in a megamart) - this is my fav as you go anywhere somewhat quickly and get a great view of everything.
The macho-man death claw
wasteland hills (silent hill)
Springtime in the wasteland
The companion mod that let's you travel with two companions (can't remember the name)
Cheat terminal (acessible via the misc option on your pip-boy)

Re: Fallout 4
 
It's been a year and a half since I played last and never did get past that Nuka World glitch where the door does not open to let me in to fight. I popped this in to see if there were any updates the other day and there was a 7GB update in there.

I may start again from scratch and add a few mods. I'd really like to finish Nuka World, but don't know if I have the patience to do it without mods to get there again. Took a long ass time.

I've been playing through the game again in VR, using my Oculus Quest and the Link cable and it's been a ton of fun. It's definitely a completely different perspective on the game. It's going to take me ages to get through since I've only been playing for an hour or so at a time, but I'm glad I picked it up again.

That is probably insane to play in VR. I have the quest but no PC. Just the Xbox X

Re: Fallout 4
 
So I tried playing this again and looks like my PS4 keeps giving me that error ps4 error ce-34878-0. I decided to start from scratch again and I can't get past the opening nuke that goes off as you're going into the vault. That damn error screen kills the game every time.

The weird part is that I also have Skyrim DLC and mods (digital version) and that plays fine along with all the other apps and stuff. I have the old PS4 Destiny edition - the white one, so i don't know if it's just that time. I'm backing up all of my data to an external 2 TB HD, so maybe I'll start it up again when my PS5 arrives. In the meantime, I'm gonna play some Skyrim again.

i pulled up the error and what they say try and do on the official site....https://support.playstation.com/s/ar...language=en_US

I haven't tried my Fallout 4 in a long time....is yours on the main or USB drive?...i checked the Bethesda site and that wasn't much help basically saying try a few thing and then go to thr Sony Help Site above. i did see where some XBox players had issues and it seemed like it revolved around the game cache....they did a sort of hard Re-Boot...basically pulling the power like you would get a Power failure and then having the system go thru a safe mode process of checking the drive and files....wish I had more....

It was on the main, but I moved it over to the external drive. I have the 500GB and it was nearly full.

For what it's worth, I played Fallout 4 from an external drive without any issues. I'm pretty sure there's a way to force the PS4 to do the drive check process in the settings somewhere.

WOW....that came out of no-where....and from looks of it, that could almost be a whole new game. I had to park FO76...and Elder Scrolls Online....just can't pay the $14 a month sub fee right now on both. FO4 to me was THE FO Game; never really totally finished and did some DLC but FO London...that looked interesting....thanks for posting.

I'm years late to this game but it's free on Game Pass and with the show hype, I fired it up and was really digging it.... until my power suit glitched mid-mission, stayed sort of on, sort of off and I couldn't access my Pip Boy no matter what. I had no old saves to go back to, so I'm stuck about 3 hours in with a glitched suit. Awesome.

You never fully experience a Bethesda game until you want to smash your controller into a wall because you hit a game breaking glitch and you realize you forgot to save recently.

This will happen multiple times in the future so save frequently.

I own the whole franchise from various freebies over the years. A next gen update would be awesome as I hear 4 and New Vegas are the best, I have yet to play one.

nickdawgy 04-17-24 08:30 PM

Re: Fallout 4
 
You heard right. I’m gonna play 4 again as soon as they release the update.

I played 76 for a month. I paid $12 for the Fallout First thing and got a private server. It was very fun. But once the quests run out, you’re just grinding and doing events. Not fun for me.

Rob V 04-18-24 06:36 AM

Re: Fallout 4
 
I might check out the update as well... gotta say that the controls are wonky and not intuitive (ie accessing weapons or stim packs). I like how Far Cry does it with the wheel and I hope the update follows suit.

mndtrp 04-18-24 10:52 AM

Re: Fallout 4
 
Yeah, Bethesda Fallout Rule #1: Save, save often, clog up your drives with more saves than you think is necessary.

I struggled to get through the last 20 minutes of Fallout 3, possibly one of the DLCs. I finally made it through by saving every minute or two. It would crash, I'd reload, get two more minutes, save, crash, repeat. I didn't have that problem with any of the other games, but I still try to save every 20-30 minutes.

I'm not sure about a separate sku, but everyone who owns a current version should get the upgrade for free. I went ahead and bought the GOTY edition for $10. I started the game years ago and it didn't grab me in the first couple hours, but the show has put me in enough of a mood for more Fallout that I thought I'd give it another try.

I want to play this now after watching half of the tv show. I've never played Fallout, but I've watched videos of it. I have Fallout 4 for free I think it was was part of the PlayStation Plus collection that you got for free when you bought a PS5. I'm little concerned about starting it since it sounds like there are still game breaking bugs nearly 9 years after release.

Is Fallout 4 a good entry point? I already have the 360 version of Fallout 3, but the last backward-compatible game I played, Just Cause 2, seemed kinda clunky.

It’s not connected to any other games so starting with 4 is fine.

I'd go with Fallout 4 at this point especially with the Nex Gen Update coming. Some of the screen shots look good and plus they're doing a lot more to it also. I'm back playing 76 but to me FO4 felt and looked like what Fallout should be...how it even starts out, the NPCs who talk to and meet, companions that all have their stories...and the VAT system in it is far better than VATs in 76. In 76 the main pull there is playing with friends, seeing others in the game and playing along side them when events pop up like in The Nuke Zone......plus FO4 has some really good DLC....

I've never had a game breaking bug and I’ve probably put in 200 hours in 4 alone. Get ready for a fun ride.

Yeah VATS is different in every game but 76 because you can’t slow down time in an online game. But slow motion kills and monotone death screams are the best.

Apparently, sales of Fallout 4 are up 7500% and it's the best selling game in Europe following the tv show launch.

Had an unopened copy of Fallout PS4, and just installed it because of the show!

Question: which mod(s) should I install and how do you do that on the PS4?

You can't install mods on a PS4 as far as I know unless you want to jailbreak your PS4.

I noticed on YouTube that IGN and all the other gaming channels have released new Fallout 4 videos in anticipation that everyone will start playing after watching the show. I think I'm going to finish Hogwarts Legacy and then I'm going to start Fallout 4.
