So I was exploring last night and came upon a Mr. Handy colony, where all the Mr Handies are pruning plants. I'm in sneak mode, and when I get close to one of the Mr. Handies I have the option to pickpocket for some fuel.

First one went off without a hitch. Pick pocketed 8 fuel. Tried it on the overseer of the plantation and an army of Mr. Handies starts chasing me! I thought no big deal, I can out run these things..

They chased me for 10 minutes and wouldn't stop. Eventually I had to use my pip boy to eat some food for nourishment, and when I come back to the game, boom. A super mutant suicide bomber is standing right next to me and blows himself up, killing everyone.

I love this game.

I played for 6 hours last night but it felt like 30 mins and im still in sanctuary. The game is a ton of fun, crafting and weapons system is really cool cant wait to continue exploring and building my settlements. But I do have some complaints.

A lot of little bugs that kinda take away from the experience,but these were expected, nothing that's crashed my game or anything.

Graphics and fps. I usually don't care about these things, but the graphics and animations(especially the mouths) suck. Its a shame because its such a huge game and franchise that youd think they would try to set the standard for the genre and blow us all away. But its only slightly better than fallout 3. And in some places the fps dropped so low that it was hurting my head. Idk though, maybe im just spoiled by the graphics of Halo 5.

The shooting and player movement still suck. Maybe ive been spoiled by Halo and destiny here too, but I spent 10mins tring to make a simple jump to a higher ledge last night. I was never a fan of the shooting in FO3 and this is the exact same, I wish they would make it feel more like a normal first person shooter


I still love the game and will play the shite out of it but I was hoping for far better graphics and new gameplay mechanics. So far its been Fallout 3: Boston with workbenches. But that is not necessarily a bad thing

Question: The cryomaster is locked behind that case in vault 111. Do you know when I'll be skilled enough to pick the lock and get it out?

Heard bad things about the story. Just not up to Fallout standards.

True?

I assume when you can unlock Master locksmith at level 18? I think that's what it required but not positive.

I only played for about an hour last night. Didn't get into the story much. Plan on playing a lot after work this afternoon. I didn't play the other ones though, so I have no base for comparison. I'm enjoying it so far.

I played for 5 hours and got to the point of establishing the settlement.

I encountered my first bug when the dialog popped up to type in my name. It locked up there and wouldn't let me type, exit, or even use my home button on the controller to restart the game. I had to do a hard reboot.

Second bug was with crafting. The craft button was disabled like I didn't have the item in an acceptable position to be placed. I searched forever trying to figure out how to "unlock" crafting and then realized that it was just a bug. Hard reset fixed it. Placing items is still kind of glitchy.

I'm on xbox and haven't had any framerate issues at all yet.

Even with the bugs, I'm having a freakin blast. The settlement/crafting aspect is going to destroy me. I'll have to stop at some point and play the story

Same thing happened to me, but I felt bad leaving to play the story if the settlement didn't have food and water.

Not me. I just lose myself in the side missions. I do 3-4 side missions then have to force myself to do a main mission.

have you seen some of the things people made?
for conans clueless gamer they made him an entire set, you can do some really cool things with the power and control panel stuff.

Just wish as you get settlers they would slowly clean up the city, patch in the holes in the walls, cleans the streets and make it look really nice




as for bugs mine have only been dialogue and they would have audio or subtitles missing when they were talking, nothing terrible.

Does anybody know if by joining the minutemen I will miss out on joining another faction?

i haven't heard anything of the sort.

the reviews i have read or heard are that it is very fullfulling and makes your really question your video game morals of what is human and what is not.

at the same time, most say it takes a few hours of storyline to really get to the good stuff.

speaking of dogs, I swapped him out for codsworth and he shits on kids, if its close quarters codsworth will chop them to bits with his saw or flamethrower everyone in the room. way better than the dog.
