I'm picking this up today for ps4. I've never played a Fallout game before (not sure why because I love Bethesda games)
Can anyone give me some pointers for a first time player?

how are you at hoarding things?

I could be considered a hoarder 
I just read a forbes article saying about all the issues with it. Are the graphics really as shitty as they say?

They're not great. But it's not why you play it.

I'm not a huge graphics person at all. The same forbes article said that Witcher 3 looked worse than Witcher 2 and I thought W3 looked amazing so I guess I'm not that critical. Gameplay/Story is my thing.

I have 50 fuel cells but apparently that's not the same thing
The fusion cores are commonly inside control panels in different buildings and you have to elect them.
I had a 50% off coupon for a prima strategy guide so I got one for this game, it's night and day.

If a graphic snob can't enjoy that game then they need to do the world a favor and go play in traffic.

Made it out of the vault and to Sanctuary, looted the building and cleared most of the metal, wood, rubber from the area then logged off. I will probably go to the first town and then come back and see what I can build.

Considering the absolute insane scale of the game, I think the graphics are actually still quite impressive.

Question, when I go to the Perk tree and select a perk for my level it doesn't stick. Someone educate me on how this works.

Are you "Accepting" your selection?

I have no problem with the way most things look in the game but the human models are pretty bad. I mean they look about the same as Mass Effect 1.
I'm only at Sanctuary after leaving the vault but the acting from everyone up to that point was pretty bad.
Needed to be a bit more rage and hysteria after witnessing my wife being butchered and my son stolen.
I can't stop picking up junk.
Is Sanctuary a future settlement? Can I store everything there and access it in other settlements?
I started over about 3 times to reset my point. Still not sure of the best mix for early game, but I do all quests and wander aimlessly so long term it probably doesn't matter.
I just hate not being able to open or hack stuff because I can never remember where I couldn't open something but I know I couldn't open something and that makes me wonky.

2 hours in for me too. Surprise, I have guests this weekend so I can't play
I wanted to play last night because of it but Destiny decided to drop a specific quest that I had to do in 1 day

The graphics are average but like you said, that's not what it is about. I don't know about console but on PC it looks fine and runs very well I have found. I'm sitting at 60fps on high consistently.

Because the writing and acting were shite. Seeing your wife killed and son kidnapped is about as dramatic as it comes but that scene and the aftermath were lacking any punch at all.

Why do you hate video games?

He freaked out when he saw it happened, banging on the glass and screaming (have only seen it once so I think that's right) but was still partially in suspended animation and gets frozen immediately after. When he comes to, a good bit of time has passed (skeletal remains all throughout the vault), so his reaction after leaving the pod is a bit subdued due to finally coming to and trying to figure out what happened.
ETA And when I mean "not that dramatic", getting shot =/= being butchered IMO.

My machine is a fossil now. I think I'm going to get some more memory and see if that doesn't help things a bit.

Let's be honest, 99% of video games have bad/awkward acting or dialogue. I just don't play games for story. If they tell a good one then great.
How much do you have?
