I swear #Fallout4 respects the players time and attention less than any major title in the last ten years. The game goes out of its way in several ways to just underscore how little it understands these things.
Going back to my earlier criticism: there is a third of four different games in Fallout 4 and those thirds don't play nicely together.
#Fallout4 is like… "Okay I know I am missing my kidnapped son, my spouse was brutally murdered by unknown individuals, and I'm hundreds of years out of place, but my absolute Number One priority is going to be rescuing this cat who just ran away"
I'm supposed to get the Deliverer handgun but I've been using an explosive powerful pipe pistol for basically the last 20 levels and I don't see myself stopping any time soon. It was a rifle for ages but I swapped stock out and it's damage shot up as I've got 2 ranks of Gunslinger. #Fallout4
Have I just been playing this game too much? Because I did one of the first boss fights this morning and I had basically just to sneeze at him and he died. I remember having to reload 3-4 times at least.
As a reaction to enjoying the Fallout show I made the inadvisable decision to reinstall #fallout4. I've played that game so much the corners are all rounded off so to spice it up I've decided to play on survival difficulty without ever spending a level-up.
I'm at level 12 and I'm discovering that this might just be impossible. Nothing other than the level up are off the table, so I may have to start cheesing the economy to just buy some legendary gear. Otherwise I think this playthrough is sunk.
One of the things that's always irritated me about #Fallout4 is how hit and miss the settlement building is. Or rather scrapping. Why are these 6 trees so important? Why can I scrap every kitchen in the Sanctuary, except for the one in my old house?
I decided to take a break from Ori and the blind forest as the difficulty is growing exponentially and getting more and more frustrating. Metroidvania, I know, I know, but...
Started playing Fallout 4 and to be honest I'm not seeing any issue with the next gen update, except the screen getting brighter during dialogs. I don't know if it's a setting or something, but it's kinda annoying. Nothing that would make me stop playing though
Speaking of #Fallout4
I am looking at "Tips for best starting stats" and so so so many sites treat Charisma as a dumping stat... when it is vital for making money in the game. If you do not have enough Charisma to make trading routes you are going to suffer badly both economically and just because you have to carry scrap around instead of having it teleported between your settlements.
Heh looking up "Common surnames in Massachusetts" because I lack imagination and found the Forebears site... which is obviously a British site or British-centric site since it INSISTS that people named "Anderson" in Massachusetts obviously got their name from "The Son of Andrew sometimes called Anders" and not, you know, that they were Swedish Immigrants...
Pretty wild that Bethesda was like "NAH, you don't need to adjust any graphical settings for #Fallout4 on Steam Deck."
(Tip: you can add "SteamDeck=0 %command%" to the launch settings to reinstate the launcher that has said graphics settings, but still. HUGE foul on the play.)
Last week I started #FalloutNewVegas and I was thinking I’d put it down with the Next Gen update coming out for #Fallout4, but it appears the update is actually kind of underwhelming on PC. I have never played New Vegas and had only ever played 4 for a few hours. I installed some of Viva New Vegas mods (mostly for Bug Fixes and some Quality of Life features) on my PC and #SteamDeck and I am enjoying it quite a bit.
