re: **Official Fallout 4 Thread** (Links and videos in OP)

So I picked the game back up again after 4 days off. I'm still a bit confused about how the Pip-boy compass thing works. Fallout 3/NV were obvious with the bright green and darker arrows marking discovered and undiscovered locations nearby. I could be off, but FO4 appears to show all locations as grayish-green when they're far away, and they become more greenish as you near them. This appears to apply to places you've been AND places you haven't.

I don't think that's correct. I want to say it's a lighter shade until you discover it.

A couple 12 hour days on my off days then 4-6 after work. I get off at 2 and my fiancée doesn't get off till like 8 so I have a ton of free time

It's like an outline until you discover it then the icon "fills up" kinda.

In the previous two games, known-undiscovered locations were just a box with a line through them. They took what they did in Skyrim and used it in this game.

True. Now there's a ton of new different icons for each type of place.

I love it. I had just finished clearing a tower and I saw an icon that sort of resembled a radio station logo. I MUST INVESTIGATE!!

I don't know what think about the game. I like it up until the point that I die. I usually don't have an issue backtracking a little because I died. However, going back a solid 20 minutes worth of effort is stupid. I don't like that I have to quicksave every few minutes.
I'm losing interest in the game. I am a scavenger type person with RPG's. I spend way too much time looking for shite. Anyone have any advice to get me moving on the storyline instead of so many side missions?

It atakes bout 2.5 seconds to press options and then quick save I do it just about every time I go into a new area.

Cherish it while you can.

This game is freaking addicting.
Never played a Fallout game before but thought Skyrim was awesome.
There's so much crap to do.
I was kind of drunk playing last night and think I joined the Brotherhood of Steel. That won't have any major ramifications later on huh?

What I really like about this one is that I feel like my battles are fire fights rather than just coming up on a random battle, especially in the city areas.

Yeah I learned pretty quickly I wasn't getting away with standing in the street, spraying bullets like Rambo. The gun fights feel good. Now animals and sentry bots are another story. That shite is frustrating as hell. Maybe it's because I'm only level 9 but everything feels so OP. I get one shot by bears that are twice as fast as me and the sentry bots are like twin turbo tanks.

I havn't even touched the main story yet and I'm about 25 hours in. All i do is explore so far haha
I was exploring the west of the wasteland last night and I came up on this town and nothing was there at all, and i see all the Super mutant meat bags in this section of the town, then I see about 8 dead super mutants in the town square, and out of nowhere a legendary deathclaw emerges with about 1/10th of his health gone lol. I got destroyed in about 2 seconds.
Love this game

I played last night. I had the goal of going to some town to see some people, who really cares. I didn't make it. I got sidetracked investigating areas
