War... War never changes (who's playing FO4?)

[herulach]

Last night I finally decided to go to Diamond City just so I could sell my stuff, turns out I had about 2500lbs worth so I spent ages, and ages, and ages breaking down hundreds of pipe pistols and raider armour at the benches for scrap, then I sold the rest and bought stimpacks, and that was mostly what I did last night.

Eurogamers article complaining about the weight limit annoyed me as I do feel it's a required part of the game but I entirely agree that you spend an awful lot of time in menus!

This may be a bug and get patched out, but dogmeat doesn't appear to have a weight limit. Before I had local leader I used him to move essentially all the steel from red rocket to sanctuary with no problems.

I've hit the weight limit several times with Dogmeat - might only be happening for bare resource items rather that 'full' items?

[Jonj1611]

Codsworth carries the same amount as dogmeat but I gave dogmeat the boot from the off, it kept getting in the way. However a couple can carry a bit more.

Apparently though there is a way to get your companion to carry infinite items so maybe thats whats happening? If you have ordered them to pick something up?

Hurrah - someone's made a mod to show full dialog choices:

Currently playing, wish they would sort the bugs out though, so many random crashes.

Really? I've had 1 bug where a ghoul hit me and I flew back about 500 yards off a cliff, other than that it is (touch wood) completely bug free for me. Which is a first for bethesda ime

Yeah I've had all kinds of weird bugs, sitting down to tribal and can't get back up for example. Using the latest patched version as well

I've had exactly 2 crashes on PS4 in a single area one after another (the shopping mall place full of Mr Handys) everything else has been fine, lucky for me!

Spent another few hours on it last night, did the usual thing of aiming to go to a specific location then getting sidetracked and finding myself in a quarry/mine fighting feral ghouls, love it!

I've still only got 1 power armour frame though, you can't loot them off enemies wearing them, a precious 1 I found was stolen by a raider as I didn't realise npcs could get in them if you left them unguarded, the other frame I've seen was in the BoS training ground (from an early mission ?) which was being guarded by a protectron that was 1 shotting me so I had to run for the hills, now I can't recall where that was!

[Jonj1611]

I got the BoS one from a mission later on, it depends on how far you are into it. The problem with chatting about a game like this is because its an exploration game no one wants to give anything away so its like a series of nods and winks lol.

I haven't had any crashes, just an odd thing after that update which meant the game wouldn't start but eventually it did. I am level 17 and about 20 hours in, need to do more side quests as have been following the main story but there does seem an awful lot to do at the moment which is good

[Danashcroft]

I just feel sometimes I'm on a quest and the difficulty ramps up to a level I can't compete with, the trinity tower quest with the super mutant fist at the top for example

[kalniel]

I've found quite a few sets of power armour just in various towns etc. Odd to be abandoned there, but usually it's near a hard encounter so probably more justification from a gameplay point of view than a lore. I'm still quite low level.

Power Armour and a good shotgun are your friend.

I think all you need to do is remember to take the power core out.

Apparently it's possible to sneak up behind an npc in power armour and steal the core out of the armour, which forces them to get out of the armour.

While it was probably terribly annoying at the time, it does sound terribly funny!

Haha I'm learning that, got a good combat shotgun

has anyone tried the new beta drivers for their AMD GPU? apparently they've put in 'performance optimisations' for FO4, COD, battlefront and AC:S
