RIPPA Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Had my first total game lock up this morning. Not bad considering how much I've been playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I've had the game crash twice, but haven't had it freeze yet. Amazing for a Bethesda game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 No crashes for me yet and I've done some marathon sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Man sues Bethesda over Fallout 4 addiction http://www.engadget.com/2015/12/21/lawsuit-over-fallout-4-addiction/ There's little doubt that Fallout 4's gameplay is involving when you can spend dozens of hours on the main storyline alone. However, one Russian man is convinced that it's too involving. RT says that he's suing Bethesda for 500,000 rubles ($7,030) for failing to warn that Fallout 4 would "become so addictive." Supposedly, the man went on a 3-week gaming marathon that cost him his health, job and wife. Had he known how alluring it was, he says, he would have either waited until the holidays to buy the game or avoided it entirely. We've reached out to Bethesda to both confirm the lawsuit and get its take on the claims. There is a history of these cases, and they can even be successful: one American got compensation from NCSoft after he got hooked on Lineage II. There's also evidence to suggest that certain kinds of gameplay can promote addictive behavior. With that said, there are many Fallout 4 players who've played extensively without ruining their personal and professional lives. This man will have to convince the court that he was genuinely addicted, not just lacking in self-discipline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I've had a few freezes and a couple crashes, but considering how much I've been playing it's still pretty good. Load times are ludicrous though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 That fucking Glowing Deathclaw I found can eat a dick Though it only took me three tries since I cheesed the fuck out of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 So I'm on level 26, have two mini-nukes, 8 missiles, and the exterminator's missile launcher. Am I ready to retake the Castle or should I wait a bit and do something like finally picking up Valentine in the main story? Right now I'm doing recon quests for the BOS.

Robert C Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 That fucking Glowing Deathclaw I found can eat a dick Though it only took me three tries since I cheesed the fuck out of it Ran into my first one of those tonight. Fortunately it got hung up on a hillside, so managed to take it out before it ever got to me. So I'm on level 26, have two mini-nukes, 8 missiles, and the exterminator's missile launcher.

I managed to take out a couple of those things at lower levels, and I'm not much good at combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Yeah, I think I'm going to wait a bit more as just journeying my way there led to tons of death by raiders & super mutant armies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 The Bobbi No-Nose side quest was pretty fun. Short but I enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Yeah - I didn't realize that one lead to a possible companion. I found that out yesterday so I will have to do that soon. I just got both Cait and Nick's personal quests. I think I might need to turn off the settle recruitment signals at a couple of places. Showed up at two different places and there were like 10 people waiting to be assigned. Whoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 So how many times have people had the settlements attacked so far? I've had two. The first from the Gunners which was my first introduction to them and the second from a group of raiders including two in power armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time they attacked the Drive-In while I was standing there. So I killed one guy and suddenly it was all SETTLEMENT DEFENDED!!! TALK TO PRESTON!!!. So I don't know if that actually counts. The only other thing that I get is every time I fast travel to the Drive-In - it is 50/50 that a Super Mutant wanders too close but that isnt really a settlement attack.

Starlight and Outpost Z always get attacked for me despite having very high defenses. It's never more than a couple of super mutants or raiders but occasionally there will be a party of ghouls. Oddly enough, Boston Blaster, one of the robots from Easy City Downs, wandered over to the Nordhagen Beach settlement and got hostile so my guards took it out.

Eivion Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I had another attack today at Graygarden this time. It was low level raiders (2 legendaries) though so they were basically wiped out. I've heard something about the Drive-in having a close spawn point. I've had attacks there, but no official quest attacks and everything usually dies pretty fast. The settlers and defenses get to enemies faster than me half the time. Outpost Z was the settlement where I ran into to PA wearing raiders. Did finally retake the Castle. Even with two bottlecap mines it still took 3-4 nukes to end it. That enemy is just evil, and I fear seeing another one again anytime soon. I almost died even in power armor. Been setting up Castle as a proper settlement the last hour or so. Not sure why, but I really like how its all set up. Feels perfect for a hub/base. Think i will finally continue on a bit and pick up Valentine next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Anyone found the Fens Street Sewer yet? There's a fun little series of holotapes down there with a serial killer taunting a detective he's lured there. It's also a great place to stock up on skeletal parts that you can scrap.

A Guy Named Tracy Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Is there a simple way to determine which settlers have been assigned jobs and beds? I've been assigning them and then equipping them with striped suits or sequined dresses, but there has to be an easier way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been assigning them and then equipping them with striped suits or sequined dresses, but there has to be an easier way. I just discovered a day or two ago - that if you select a settler, it will highlight in green what they are assigned to (at least crops and beds) I think - THINK - it will also highlight guard posts but those folks are easier anyone since they are always wandering around with guns.

RIPPA Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 And yeah - definitely had to start turning off recruitment signals. One of the settlements I went to had 17 folks - and I only had 9 beds. If there is a way to have a settler go from one settlement to another and stay there - I haven't found it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlight them and you should see an option for move. I don't think you can move the founding settlers but anyone who comes in after is fair game.

It does highlight guard posts for people assigned to defense, scavenging stations for people assigned to scavenge and stores for people you assign to vendors. Also, a good way to tell if someone isn't assigned is if you have a bar or some kind of store, anyone who is unassigned will likely be hanging out around there. Another tip is to look at the food or defense stat when you assign someone to a task that's not one of those. If either of those quickly drops by a few points, the person was assigned food or defense so you should quickly assign them back if your intention wasn't to lower one of those stats. It is kind of a pain in the ass though if you're building stuff and everyone is asleep for the night or at the bar. They should fix the interface so if you highlight a settler, a caption comes up telling you where exactly they're assigned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly though from what I understand the number of people helps determine how much money you can pick up in the workshop from stores you set up so unless its one of the smaller settlements I suggest just making some beds or sleeping bags.

Robert C Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Any idea what makes cows appear at a particular settlement? One of my small greenhouse settlements has 4 or 5 of the things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
