On another note are there really radiation storms, if so then why? It's 200 years after the war for fucks sake,

Most likely Bethesda's people read about the radioactive twisters plaguing the mid west and thought to themselves "Hey we should have something like that too." However there are not much tornadoes on the East Coast so they went sort of 'space sci fi' and introduced radiation storms.
Problem is, they don't make sense.

You see Bethesda, the twisters themselves aren't radioactive, they are just extremely fast winds. Its the sand and debris they carry.
It is also why a sand storm can be radioactive.
Having storms of just random radioactivity makes no sense (well at least not here on Earth, anyone know of storms on other planets that have a fission 'effect'?)

Radiation storms are a thing, in space at least. Strong solar flares cause strong solar winds and radiation that are definitely a problem outside the Earth's protective magnetic field.
On Earth, though, there isn't too much of a problem, although a lack of an ozone layer would probably lead to uncomfortable UV and gamma spikes during a big solar flare.
 
Thanks for clearing that up, I forgot all about solar flares.
But if it was the sun causing the radiation storms the Core region would have been affected as well and radiation storms would be well known.
 
Ok so to report. The game is indeed just full of Kill quests, basicaly every quest before arriving to Diamond city is just entering a dungeon and killing a bunch of Raiders/Ghouls/Synths. They don't offer any alternate paths to completion, even tho some have Named NPCs they mostly serve as Bosses. Every Conversation so far has had a "Persuasion" check, usually to get paid more, I have yet to see any charisma check that actually results on alternate Paths. Current Build is 6 Charisma. Only Charisma perk I have picked by level 10 is Lone Wanderer. Leveling up is indeed pretty fast, I already got 2 of the Level up achievements on a single play session.
The BOS qustline so far seems lifted from New Vegas but without alternate non violent routes, my current mission is even to recover the reports from dead Patrols.

Diamond city does have a small orchard in the middle. It's not quite big enough in representation but I guess is a step up from FO3's Single cow settlements.

There seem to be some named Raider Gangs but I have yet to find them, all the Raiders are called Raider so far.

Playing on hard, Stimpaks are scarce early on, but I am dealing lots of damage with my moded Knuckles, the Laser Musket is also pretty OP, the game isn't really that challenging. Definetly not "Unapologetically hardcore" as that laughable Polygon article claimed. You also get the Minigun pretty early on and unlike previous Fallouts, even FO3, getting a highlevel weapon at lower levels has no penalties, you shoot just as accurate, doesn't seem to be much penalties for not specing on a type of weapon. For example I haven't taken a single Sneak or Energy Weapon related perk and the Laser Musket still kills everything in a single shot in VATS.

That's my initial report.

So is there really only one major city?
I've only heard of Diamond City so far, aren't there any other larger settlements?

There is nothing wrong with wanting to play this game, you don't have to make excuses :whatever:. (i'm personally not touching this)

I'm not. I posted in another thread I want to see the lore at the very least. As a Fallout fan you have to play it regardless. Can't make a fucking joke...:roll::whatever:

Besides I played POS so this won't be bad. Enjoyable in a B-movie kind of way.

Well, HOPE this helps!
RPG vs cPRG vs A/cRPG NOT the same....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-playing_video_game

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_role-playing_game
Oblivian/ Fallout 3/4 could fit this one but ...
this was actually originally meant for games like Diablo and earlier

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GURPS

Since Tim Cain based "Fallout" on gurps
it would have to have those "elements" of gurps in it.
Since "skills" have been Removed in fallout 4 and well "skills" is a core of gurps.
Fallout 4 is even more removed from being RPG
Now remember TES series was based on gurps system Julian Lefay liked the system.
Todd Howard and rest of Bethesda do NOT understand..it's too complicated...
Mathematics of 6 sided dice(gurps)is probably too tough for low IQ Toddy
todd's head would explode from 20 sided dice mathematics


All the Retards seem to think "RPG" means Bethesda games
Yes Diablo is a RPG
Postal 2 is a FPS and has a better story than fallout 3/4
In reality at the end of the day Fallout 4 is really more of an Interactive Action-Adventure.


Also do you remember when I said something about fallout should be more "realistic" & you said no..
so shooting a zombie in fallout 4 like 100x times till he dies is fun? realistic? just utter bullshit?
shooting crazy raiders with shitty armor 100x times fun? realistic? utter bullshit?
 


Bonus, A video of me Fist fighting the first Deathclaw. A test video before the actual recording starts. Cooling fan is going crazy, I am changing it today actually. Recorded on medium settings as I didn't want to suffer any stutter.

One thing I gotta give it, as you can see in the video, I found a tunnel to another part of the map after accidentally falling into the Hole the Deathclaw came from so the map seems to be nice and interconnected with secret zones to discover... Now if only Concor had anything going for it storywise....

Try to put some audio compression on your audio input.

They DO understand it, there is no doubt about it. They just decided to completely ignore it.

Who plans on getting Fallout 4?
Click to expand...

I do. I'll probably buy it when I get home from work (so in about half an hour), start the download and maybe the download will be done by the time I'm back from the gym.
On the one hand I just want to know first hand how good or bad the game is, but on the other hand I don't want to support Bethesda in their continued release of broken games...
