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

Something I wish I had of known a lot lot sooner was on the inventory screen. Where it says My Inventory at the top, I didn't realise you could click the left or right arrows to bring up just weapons, apparel, aid etc, I have been scrolling like a loony through the inventory normally :/

Also work on containers, traders and such, when you have the old style two lists to move items too and from them, you can filter both of them.

I hit 56 hours today and on level 26. Mainly roming around but I am playing on hard so get a lot of legendary baddies to kill.

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

No idea, been avoiding the big quests and mostly scavenging so I imagine that's why, only just visited diamond city so I could sell stuff. Oh, and it's not 24hrs...

Yes I'm on PS4, could have used the share button probably but couldn't be bothered.

Finally got my 2nd power armour rig, sitting in sanctuary loaded with raider kit, will probably never use it

I hit 56 hours today and on level 26. Mainly roming around but I am playing on hard so get a lot of legendary baddies to kill.

IIRC,I am around level 25 or 26 and have at least 70 hours played. I have been mostly exploring and building up a few settlements.

I keep forgetting to level up, just selected 3 new perks
15 hours in now, it's good, but the control dear god the controls, it's totally set up for controller and they've done all for the pc, no weapon change with mouse wheel? contextual button press for melee/grenade/mine arrgh!

Unless I have something I immediately want, I tend to hang on to skillpoints for 2-3 levels (its definitely not that I forget about them and occasionally get annoyed by the reminder popup )

Currently about 35-40hrs in, around level 30.
Had a readup over the weekend. If you want to max out all your skills then you'd need to be around lvl 264 and have collected all the bobbleheads. Damn that's gonna take a while.

One thing I'd like to mention is that I'm getting the mipmapping texture bug
As can be seen here http://imgur.com/P0N2aQg it's doing the same thing for me, it's really noticeable, esp as it effects clothes, so you'll be talking to an npc and their skin and face is high res but clothes are really low res.

I'm going to give the ENBoost fix a try, if not there's already a mod out there to "optimise" the textures, Bethesda seems to have done all their textures in high res 2048x2048 and then apply some very aggressive mipmapping to lower the detail, they've also used some bad lossy compression to do it, the texture optimise mod is redoing all the textures in 1024x1024 with a better compression system so the mipmapping will not be so agressive.

I'll run some testing and let you guys know the results.

[Pob255]

Well I can confirm that the ENBoost worked for me, no more blurry low res textures
I used this http://enbdev.com/mod_fallout4_v0283.htm and I changed ForceVideoMemorySize=false to true, I left VideoMemorySizeMb=4096 as it was.
Running textures at high and there's no noticeable performance difference, except no more crappy textures.

[Jonj1611]

I am hoping its just a glitch that will be ironed out in the patch, happened at the oddest times, for instance on the loading screens when an image is slowly turning, the edge of a bed was a nice crisp texture then turned blurry as it turned.

[Pob255]

It mainly seems to effect cards with 1gb vram, at least turning the whole game blurry.
From my understanding there's a lot of high res textures in the game but it's not unloading textures from the vram, so when a new texture needs to be loaded and the vram is full it drops it drops all the highest res texture for the next lowest setting to free up vram and this keeps repeating constantly dropping all the texture resolutions.

[Jonj1611]

Hmm, that would explain a lot but I have a 4GB 970. I have seen it happen a few times, one minute nice texture, next blurry. In fact in my opening comments about the game I said the textures were laughable but that was before I realised it was a bug(at least I hope it is).

[Pob255]

Well 28hours in now lv14, so far:
- I keep forgetting you have to manually trigger crits in vats
- Bloat flies are a real pain in the ass to hit because of their movement pattern combined with their attacks causing rad damage as well has made them probably my most hated enemies in the game so far.
- speech system, I like being able to pull away from a conversation by simply moving away, for most it's ok (good when you want to swap into chr gear for checks) but that's the only part I like and it has it's downsides because I've ran past at least one conversation and it auto treated it as me saying "no" so now I cannot have that conversation, far too many conversations are too short and one off, so going back gives you no follow on (you try and talk again just to get 1 or 3 stock lines like any generic npc)

[Jasp]

Hehe you not come across stingwings yet then

[Rob_B]

They are a pain in the.... Proverbial...

LVL32 now and managed to get the X01 power armour - a full suit and a partial one for my follower. Also,you can get your follower to wear power armour and you don't need a fusion core in it too!

Also,if you want to get high level power armour easily there is an easy way to get it - if you see a BoS Vertibird attacking somebody,it usually gets shot down and if the Knights get killed you can take the armour. The BoS has T60B power armour and I got a few free suits of it now.

[Deadbolt]

Yeah. There's a house outside Quincy that is constantly changing hands. Walked past it one way and it was stationed with Minutemen who were being attacked by Gunners, came back about 30mins later right after a vertibird got shot down. Bunch of supermutants had taken it over and the BoS attempted to take it over. 3 SM's (1 with a mingun) took out 4 BoS Knights in power armor. Was a glorious find. Pity I'm sitting with about 15 frames and enough armour to outfit another 40-50 of various gear from raider to X01 suits.
