Fallout 4 (PS4, XB1, PC)

**SmoothPancakes** · 07-14-2016, 12:17 AM

As fun as this game is, you can tell, without even looking, that Bethesda is the one behind this game. Jesus Christ the bugs and glitches are never ending, just like every Bethesda game. I constantly have to exit and reenter the game just to get my stupid settlers to actually assign to the things I tell them. I try to move settlers to other settlements, they don't leave. One settlement showed a population of 7, I only could find 3, even with ringing the damn bell.

The biggest goddamn annoyance, the fucking crashes. Just now, and for probably the 15th time since I started playing, the game just randomly and suddenly freezes and crashes to the Xbox dashboard. It happens nearly every other time I get on. Great, now I get to completely redo everything I did since the last time saved.

You should be wanting to save religiously because you never know when you might meet an enemy that would massacre your ass. Not because you're fearing the game suddenly crashing for the 100th time in the next 5 minutes.

Settlements are problematic. I am constantly fast travelling back to settlements to "reset " them. Zero beds and no water... then you go into workshop[p and have 21 beds and 18 water. That being said, they are IMO the best aspect of the game.

Yeah, I'm having the problem right now with the Starlight Drive-In. They have 24 beds, 100 power, like 100 water, like 300 defense, when I'm physically there, and yet the first moment I fast travel away, those numbers are all 0. Drives me up a wall.

Like I said, it's a standard Bethesda game. Fun as hell, but incredibly annoying bugs and glitches throughout.

Just wait until you try all those cool mods, that will freeze your game to the point where you wish they never offered them. Every one of those nice green in the commonwealth are just a freeze waiting to happen. Every mod I have tried has had some glitch that broke the game, outside of the cool new scopes and nuka cola pip boy. Even the little key ring mod will glitch with other mods that require keys or you accidentally delete it.

Just tedious trying to fine some enjoyment of the mods. Load orders affecting the mods, then you have plugins for mods that will break other stuff trying to fix things that were broken by the mods.

Ah crap. There goes my longing desire to start enjoying mods once I finally finish the story.

Oh mama, I love me some artillery! I completed Taking Independence and Old Guns over the weekend. Finally getting a chance to get back on since Sunday.

My next target for Tinker Tom's MILAs was Corvega. Screw fighting through a dozen plus raiders. Three artillery grenades, signalling my four artillery pieces in Graygarden, and there were a whole two raiders left alive by the end of all three bombardments, lol.

Also completed Here There Be Monsters, so I have 3 homing beacons to potentially call in a nuke strike from Zao and the Yangtze. Only thing I'm not sure of is if I can get any more homing beacons were I to swim back out to the sub, or if those three nuke strikes are all I get, so I'm extremely hesitant to use them at the moment.

You get three, just like a genie gives three wishes and you can't ask for more.

**SmoothPancakes** · 07-20-2016, 06:12 PM

Damn, that's what I was afraid of. Well, I'll have to save them for a special use. The artillery strikes will do more than enough for now.

You can use them in Far Harbor, I would advise saving one for that area. You will know when.

**SmoothPancakes** · 07-20-2016, 09:44 PM

Sweet, that's good to know. Sadly I found out the artillery strikes have a limited range. Had to go on a mass building tour at a bunch of settlements to hopefully get a large portion of the map covered by artillery strikes.

Oh man... I am looking forward to that. For the last DLC for the game, they are certainly going out with a bang. How many more years will we have to wait for Fallout 5? Just think, if NCAA Football were never cancelled I would not have discovered this game.

New patch to get ready for Nuka World. Out on PC/Xbox and next week on PS4.

Jun and Marcy Long are no longer essential after completing "Sanctuary"

Best Patch EVER!

**JBHuskers** · 08-19-2016, 04:18 PM

Wasn't Jun the whiner and Marcy the bitch?

Yup, but I always felt bad for Jun. He actually married this person, so I would be moping around and depressed all the time too. Plus they lost their child. I just left him be and never even assigned him work. With Marcy I would plant a couple tato as far away as possible to reduce the amount of interactions.

I need to get back to this sometime eventually. I've been saying that since March I think

I would love to be playing it but my kindness got the better of me. One of the neighbors kids had his appendix burst on him a few days ago. This same thing happened to me when I was a sophomore in HS. Kid is going to miss a few weeks of school and miss some of his senior year playing football. All he had was an N64, so I donated my XB1 to him until he got back to starting classes.

Really kinda missing not having my console.
