Why gold? Why not copper? And if you're getting copper, why take it raw from the earth like a caveman? The real panning is urban panning where you go to abandoned (or temporarily abandoned, 5 minutes of abandonment is enough in Ricky's book) buildings and pull copper pipes and cables from the...

lol @ $60 for a knockoff, wired controller built for an FPS. The other big source of possible consternation is when I'm one of the ~3% of people whose system is somehow incompatible with the game until they release a patch two weeks post-release. Unlikely to happen though, my hardware is...

Prepare yourself for the rage I will unleash on this thread when my quests break like they did in NV. Everything else from performance issues, combat mechanics and crashes I will be fine with.

See to me the goal shouldn't be to provide meaningful penalties that would turn the game into some kind of hard mode, but would instead provide overcomeable penalties that make a playthrough more flavorful and interesting.

I don't mind the skill point change. The Fallout skill point system was not clever or interesting for a gameplay perspective and after so much time in FO3 I'm glad to leave it. The only gap it creates for me is the lack of skill books in the world providing the player a gameplay-impacting...

It would be funny though, if having zero in the following stats caused: S: gimp walk P: literally deaf E: perm rad sickness C: 10% of non-critical NPCs refuse to talk to you I: Retarded speech (via automatic word replacement) A: no VATs L: Possibility of critical failures

FYI: Be prepared for a build discussion party in this thread come Nov 9th when we get a lot more detail about the game and finishFallout 4: Perk Chart - Orcz.com, The Video Games Wiki

Besides that, you don't know how Endurance works (So you don't know if you should get 10END before leveling) how intelligence really works (It can't just be an XP multiplier right?) or how constraining the level is. You don't know if having sub 3 int/cha will make you a blubbering moron for the...

Optimal builds are impossible to make right now because we don't know what the perk trees are and one unknown perk with a high SPECIAL requirement in something unexpected will obliterate any well thought out build. And BGS makes nearly no attempt to balance their end-game. Fallout 4: Perk...

re: restoria, fun AI anecdote: The AI Revolution: Our Immortality or Extinction - Wait But Why

Would be crazy to live on a dyson sphere that is some 10 lunar distances away from the surface of the sun (or whatever you'd need to be away from the sun geysers). Especially crazy if the dyson sphere was made of some translucent material that filtered everything from the sun except for some 1%...

get ready for some bullshit! Next Big Future: Positron Dynamics plans to fly an antimatter powered cubsat by 2019

That probably depends on how hard it is to produce solar panels out of asteroid fields and shit-tier planets and how easy inter-stellar travel is. One could imagine a species living around a dying star who have great solar-system travel capability but very poor interstellar travel...

64bit change will make modding easier, but modders also worked around the 32bit memory limitation in Skyrim with SSME - Skyrim Startup Memory Editor at Skyrim Nexus - mods and community CTD and Memory patch ENBoost at Skyrim Nexus - mods and community and other systems. A good...

It seems like if you could solve the energy transfer problem to move the energy from the sun to a planetary body / fleet of space ships (Batteries? using energy to make a super gasoline? a huge cable? wireless transfer of energy?) putting a bunch of solar panels very close to the sun would be...

Dumb question about Dyson spheres, don't asteroid fields have huge asteroids with nuclear materials like uranium and thorium in them? Aren't these a very rich source of energy? I've always thought of Dyson spheres as being more of a neat scifi-style theory than a real culmination of a species.

WHO IS READY TO PUKE?!

It's depressing that a lawyer will say that CPS should be treated like crooked cops. Good people like chaos and a_skeleton_03 (or me, if I were in their shoes I'd do the same thing probably) stonewalling CPS makes it easier for bad people to stonewall CPS, which hides real child abuse.

I have been thinking about what to do to celebrate, because getting off work and telling my family to leave me alone isn't enough. For competitive MMO releases I get on a strict diet of easily digestable food so I can not sleep for several days at a time and my digestion system shuts down...

I can't remember a time where everyone was so excited for my birthday.

Thanks for the note. I used the voucher: 20PERC-HARVST-SAVING

If you use that tactic as a dude you better be ready for your girlfriend's new bi boyfriend.

With Project Nevada you can get a cyborg implant that gives you nightvision, heat vision and "EM Vision". The EM Vision is the most cheaty of the three and gives you a minor form of wall hacking. However it's somewhat irritating to use so you naturally have to switch around as you're exploring...

Would be interesting if they tried a Hitman style approach of changing the options and features a player has based on difficulty. Ex: Make it so that on hard mode you can only save when you're near a teleport location. Dead is dead playthroughs in Skyrim are a lot of fun (especially when you get...

Interesting choice: Philanthropi comments on Settle for 970 or go higher? They are limiting what goes on their store based on whether it runs well on a GTX970 or not. I have to imagine that spec will increase over time but it certainly feels good to own a 970 knowing that!!

The cool thing about sandbox games is that you can choose how much fun you have in them. For me personally the combat mechanics, items, consumables, abilities and character builds are only interesting when the game is challenging. If I find a new weapon that is 15% more effective than my current...

Project Nevada added a feature to burn action points (AP) for bullet time, it was great (And more powerful than VATs in all but a few "This thing is sitting on my face and I really need that 90% damage mitigation" scenarios). I'd actually love if they improved the long-range sniper game...

Yeah I expect that the game will need mods to make the game more enjyoable at hard difficulties. And honestly it's not even that hard in Elder Scrolls or Fallout. You just make it so enemies can three shot you if you screw up, and in Fallout make it so that items are scarce. There's no need...

Not really, no. My wife kind of does, but whenever he does something like that and we say "No" he just laughs at us and calls our bluff and we have no repercussion for him. In other news, my kid figured out how to blow raspberries whenever he wants and that's his new thing. The most enjoyable...

Re: SPECIAL, does anyone remember if Endurance changed health as a scalar * your level and updating your endurance would increase your health instantly, or was it a scalar to your health everytime you leveled up? I can't remember...

It's ok bros. I don't know what part the new cop is supposed to play. Is she just the female version of eddie?

Also, what difficulty level are people starting out with? I'm going whatever is the hardest. (And it's only worth it if everyone knows that I'm playing hard mode in a singleplayer game).

Re: Deathclaws, one thing that makes them somewhat easier is that they are generally compacted to a few areas in FO3 and NV. You can more or less find them and nope the fuck out until you're high level. And when you engage them you can hulk out on chems. In my playthrough it was impossible to...

My kid started trying to grab his poopy butt when I changed him at like 1 month, which he shouldn't be doing. He started grabbing flesh at like 2 months. Which he shouldn't be doing. I'm not trying to be obtuse, just saying that isn't a clear line (to me at least)

Nothing like a human interface device built for a game that hasn't been released in alpha or otherwise. I'm going to enjoy the tears spear from people after their setup is made inneffective by a duide with intellisense.

Re: Discipline, what age is the right age to tell a kid no? My kid is starting to crawl and likes to get into all the things, but it's pretty easy to baby proof our house (because we don't have a bunch of clutter he can get into), so I don't try to scold him when he manages to grab something...

Hodj, as someone who has no shared experience with you I'd say you should meet all your blood relatives you can. You don't owe them anything, but you owe it to yourself to see the people whose DNA you share.

As to whether some of you betas should hide your gaming hobbies so your wife gives you forehead kisses, buy a PC version, put the rig on her coffee table, smack her on the ass and play some fallout.

Sandbox: Yes. PVP enabled except for guild and alliances with size limits: Not going to stop us or any other large group. You remember RUIN putting four guilds together in GW2, lol. Player created cities which can be sieged and protected: Yes Many trade zones (protected areas): Protected...
