I'm not knocking the actual game, but they really need to update their graphics engine to something from this century.

I think the environments are lovely. Not great in terms of graphical fidelity, but their art direction is always on point.

The faces... those are rough.

The lighting and color palette are beautiful. It reminds me of Skyrim with the ENB mods enabled.

But yeah--the textures and character models are still rough.

I suspect the game will look gorgeous when Bethesda releases a high-res texture pack and modders start overhauling the engine.

Thanks for the info Aesius! It appears the PC gaming industry has taken cues from the automotive industry; who fibs about vehicle MPG and oil change intervals.

Bought it for PC and it runs fine on my lowly 7790 GPU.

I sunk a lot of time into it tonight.

I love how there are some areas where you will just get absolutely crushed. I was going to take my time getting to Diamond City but now I think I need the levels.

I'm playing on Survivalist and got absolutely destroyed by a Yao Guai (mutated bear) near a random military base I found.

I had a shotgun and blasted it in the head twice and barely did any damage, but it was able to wipe out about 3/4 of my health with one swipe.

The game is brutally difficult on the max difficulty level, but I love it. I thought the previous Fallouts were way too easy.

I am up to 12 now, and I am still finding random places and enemies that send me away going, Nope. Got pretty much one shot by a lazer turret, after getting a sneak attack critical that did a third of its health.

finally getting to some of the perks that make it worthwhile. Got the ammo and cap finder perks both to level two and now I finally have enough ammunition to use.

anybody know if you can only be in one faction? I figured you can be in multiple but didn't know for sure.

I think it's worth playing and buying. But I'm OCD and will collect everything and horde coffee cups and pans lol. I just started last night and haven't left the neighborhood in an hour of playing lol. I've searched each house twice and started cleaning space in case I wanted to build stuff later.
And then I found a cellar behind a house who had what was a locked Advanced Safe/. I went ahead and use my perk point for open advanced safe instead of something that could help me kill stuff or live longer lol. I have to be Able to open everything lol

I'm the same way. I take forever to do JRPG's because I literally have to talk to everyone lol. Everyone in every town.

the ability to clean up is what has really impressed me. I just go through places and clean them out, even with no intention of building.

Instead of having to open everything I have build things, and I have started my leveling focus on that purpose. I am going to start building a tower. I want to see what limits they put on the ability to build. It took me way too long to figure out how to give settlers orders.

Yeah, the settlement game play could be another game in and of itself. I haven't left sanctuary yet either! Did you guys roll out with your power armor or no?

left it. Didn't want to randomly run out of power somewhere and have to abandon it.

I have only found one other set of power armor so far, and it only had two pieces, need to build a power armor rack at my second major settlement.

One of my settlements got attacked last night. Down to one settler, I may just relocate them and stop wasting resources there.

So it sounds like you only want to use the power armor when you really need it?? It's unclear if it should be your go-to equipment or used only in difficult situations... My core ran out of juice but I can still jump in and move around with the armor.

What's the deal with Settlers? I've helped a couple groups out doing their missions but that seems to be about it so far.

I think I left my power suit at the Red Rocket. Haven't used it since the initial section when you kill that big rat/whatever.

I went to Diamond City. Then, I found the detective. That's when I quit last night.

Not my favorite game thus far, but it's interesting enough I'll keep playing it.

Here's some notes I found regarding PA:

1.) Power Armor can be used by other NPC's while it has a power core. To prevent NPC use, remove the fusion core from your suit when leaving.

2.) When power armor is destroyed, you do not get the frame back. Take care of your frame!

3.) If you lose your frame, there are more out there. Crashed vertibird and military installations normally have spare frames or even full fledged suits available.
*Can also buy a frame from Diamond City armor vendor if needed

4.) Power armor, unlike regular attire, will degrade over time. To repair the pieces, you must have them either in your inventory, or on the frame, NOT stored in the workshop inventory. When they are in the appropriate place, going to the power armor rack and hitting craft will offer repair of pieces through the use of the triangle button.

5.) Power armor will not hang on the rack, but can be "stuck" to a rack by dismounting near the rack, entering the crafting menu via the power armor stand, and exiting.

6.) To exit power armor, hold the X button

7.) Power armour does NOT need a fusion core to be used.

Without a fusion core, power armor
-retains its weight carry increase
-resists the same amount of damage as powered armor
- Head mounted lights and mods will still work
-Weapons, including large weapons like mini-guns, can still be used

Features lost when not powered:
-unable to use VATS
-unable to sprint
-Movement speed will be reduced to overburdened walk speed
-Melee attack removed

It is still extremely beneficial to use power armor in areas with high enemy density, even if it is not powered!

8.) Buffout removes the movement penalty of unpowered power armor. (Most like the same for other varients of chem as well, untested)

9.) Power armor can be painted, and each paint scheme applies a bonus effect to power armor. You must have the full chest legs, hands, and head painted the same design for the effect to work.

10.) In addition to paint, mods can be made to power armor through the power armor crafting station, allowing multiple different varients of each design.

11.) Holding the O button while in power armor will turn on your helmets lamp light

12.) You can fast travel while in a power armor suit, both unpowered and powered, no need to walk all the way and waste fusion cores.

The idea is to attract more of them to your settlement(s) to establish trade routes and resource gather - automating the process of advancing your abilities and equipment, so to speak.

Once I figured out that you could scrap almost anything laying around in Sanctuary, I when nuts cleaning up the area and razing houses and building new ones.

I'm not really bothering with power armor yet. It's cool, but I wish it was still just regular armor that was rare and not really available/equippable until late game like it was in previous Fallouts.

I agree but I think the way they made it somewhat dependent on power cores and very slow and cumbersome to use make it more of a "vehicle" than all purpose armor.

Funny - I'm running Ultra settings with no problem at all with my setup that was supposedly below min requirements.
