FALLOUT 4 IS HERE!!!!

It is really annoying if you die without sleeping but once you get a good rifle you can take out most bad guys with one or two shots. At the end of the beta 1.5.1 will be released and the survival mode will be for all platforms so I recommend going with high endurance and getting the life giver perk so you get +60 health and regeneration

I've been watching Many A True Nerd with the beta - looks PAINFUL

We're on PS4 :(

Is anyone playing on pc becuase you can now opt into the fallout 4 survival mode beta. It is really hard and fun and you just spend a lot more time playing the game. I am now level 23 and only just got to diamond city

Thanks. I'll leave it behind then.

I've used power armour a lot, pretty much all the time now I have loads of fusion cores. My first went missing but I got another one from the Brotherhood when I found the Prydwyn. I'm a wuss and I feel safer with it.

Currently at level 34, just got into the institute after fannying about with side quests and what not. I love how you can go through at your own pace. What level was everyone else when they got in? I used the Railroad to help me. Also got some guy I killed's (Malcolm?) father out for my blood in Diamond City so that's fun.

Yeah I only used power armour for the glowing sea

I've been in a break as I haven't been able to dedicate the time. 4 more weeks and I'll be back in it. I've been exploring and keep dying as I'm not high enough level or with good enough weapons for the big beasties yet.

Abandon it there are more sets out there I played most of the game without power armour

I've just started playing this and my armoured suit is out of power. I can only move slowly. I'm on my way to waste some raiders.

Abandon it, or just put up with the slower pace?

He is annoying!

Preston is really annoying, I tend to avoid sanctuary because of him.

Preston is spectacularly annoying I might try that tactic. I've accidentally started Just Cause 3 so having a break from Fallout mainly because of Preston

4 more days till Automatron!!!!!

That's what I did! I threatened her then when I tried to trade she said something about shooting her in the face so I thought what the hell and shot her, a few times. Power armour was flashing in sanctuary, then Preston jumped into it whilst trying to kill me so I ran for it, then I couldn't find it again Hmm, will have a harder look for it once I've done the pre school run and put dd2 for a nap. May also consult Google to see if this has happened to anyone else.

The Power armour should be slowly flashing on the world map.

I threatened the woman in Sanctuary by accident and now she wont trade with me :(

I killed a merchant woman and her cow thingy who appeared in Sanctuary (in fairness she did invite me to shoot her..) then Preston started shooting me. Now I can't find Preston and my power armour has gone missing. Sigh.

I always get "oh, that was pretty good actually" after I clear out some ferals or whatever!

My dp is the same, he has never played a fallout game in his life

Me too (plodding) ignoring my DHs "helpful" comments such as "go and out in power armour and storm in there!"

Uh, my character is a sniper pfffffffft

Up to level 14 now, had a good go on it last night and then for an hour this morning, got the Castle last night and completed a mission for the BOS this morning that I started a few days ago (forget what it was called now). I'm slowly plodding along at my own pace.

I played for 2 hours yesterday morning aaaah

Level 49 now :) Just starte the BoS mission "proper" am aboard the Prydwen :)

Nah, I think everyone is still off playing

I've had a break and came back to the game today - am finding it easier as my level goes up, thankfully! Just dreading having to head further south. Apparently, south of the map is where the really nasty stuff lives... :(

Think I killed this thread with my last post

Success! Managed to persuade dp to let me have the game early The wait was driving me mad and I was dead bored in the evenings after finishing the Uncharted collection for the second time. Been playing it in the evenings and when dd1 is at pre-school and dd2 is napping when I should really be doing housework for the past week, currently level 11. Never played any of the fallout games before so it's all new to me, still figuring out which weapons are better, but I think I'm getting the hang of it now. I use my power armour a lot as there are some areas where I don't really feel strong enough to deal with, but running out of power and not having any more power cores is a pain. There's so much to do! I could spend hours building settlements, but I also want to explore and complete quests too. I find I get sidetracked a lot which with this game isn't necessarily a bad thing. Loving the open world sand box aspect of it. Still have Dogmeat as my companion but I'm thinking of changing to Codsworth soon. I've just discovered the Brotherhood and have been doing quests for them. I can definitely see myself putting a lot of hours into the game. Can't play at the moment as I'm at the PILs for the weekend will be able to get back to it tomorrow evening though.

Hopefully getting this game on PS4 for my birthday in just under 2 weeks time. Been following this thread for a while and can't wait! Never played any of the fallout games before, but im giving into the hype, hopefully it's worth it. Trying to convince dp to let me have my present early but he's not having any of it
