Thanks lads. I’ll pass it on.
Thanks lads. I’ll pass it on.
After 265 days holed up in Sanctuary, I'm off to venture out.

Scrap that. Must stay strong and finish Sanctuary.
I'm gonna give Fallout 76 a go. Apparently it isn't dreadful these days.

Prepare for the future: A next-gen update is coming to Fallout 4! Coming in 2023, this free update will be available for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and Windows PC systems, including performance mode features for high frame rates, quality features for 4K resolution gameplay and even bonus Creation Club content!
Hold me.
Might mean you can actually go into downtown Boston without your console melting
Looks a little too clean but the tone might be right.
If they get it right and by that I mean don't make it all twee and irreverent it could be genuinely brilliant.
Cor blimey:
It does look pretty sexual.
New trailer:
Fallout London now delayed indefinitely due to that
I have installed Fallout 1 and have taken 1 step outside the vault. Having to read an actual manual for the first time in over a decade is ESSENTIAL.
I've not started the show yet but chat about it has me wondering if I should do some Fallout once I'm done with Horizon 2. Thinking either one of the original RPGs (1 or 2), 4 (I've bounced off Fallout 3 twice and what I've read/heard of 4 does suggest I might not warm to it but I've not played it and it's on Game Pass) or New Vegas (being Obsidian this has a good chance of being more my jam than the Bethesda ones in terms of the actual game.)
New Vegas has a lot to it. At times, I felt it dragged but it definitely had more going on than 3. 3's relatively short, though. I've got all of them (except 4 and 76) for free on Epic. Might be worth setting up an account and playing the waiting game.
They're all on Game Pass anyway, and I might already have Fallouts 1/2 on Steam and Epic.
Planning on restarting this tomorrow after the update.
Any PC Mods I need?
Likewise.
And no, they all have something shit in them.
I should add, if the free creation club nonsense that comes with this update is automatically installed and can't be deleted I'm going to go postal.
Update out on Xbox at least. 22.6GB and downloading now.
Actually, that's just for the base game, the DLC seems to have individual updates too for each.
Modders are going to be so annoyed.
Mother fuckers.Originally Posted by Yevrah
As a PS Plus pleb, I can't get the update for free. I'm still reinstalling it but that's mainly because I've never finished it.
Having played before and after the update all I can say is we had London, a brand new game essentially, delayed for this? Fucking Bethesda.
Indeed. Beyond London I'm not fussed about mods so this didn't particularly bother me, but it did make me laugh that once I'd installed it my list of favourited mods had gone from 90-odd to four and those that I had installed but deactivated had completely vanished.
I'm guessing some people will be going spare.
Just starting it up now. Vanilla with all the DLC
Started last night. Going for a rebuild the Commonwealth playthrough, but making me deliberately weak to start with, so SPECIALS were:
Strength - 4
Perception - 10
Endurance - 1
Charisma - 6
Intelligence - 1
Agility - 1
Luck - 5
Loving it again already and it looks so shiny.
My guy is:
Strength - 6
Perception - 4
Endurance - 5
Charisma - 1
Intelligence - 5
Agility - 6
Luck - 1
Gives me early access to the carry weight/health and lock picking stuff which is what I usually put points into first
Anyone want a free GOG code for Fallout 2? Got it with Amazon Prime but I already own it.

I'm a twit
Fallout 2 was very good back then. Not sure how it holds up.
As we're in the sharing mood, here's my Special for my new character Brenda. She's built like a lumberjack.
Strength:7
Perception: 7
Endurance: 6
Charisma: 2
Intelligence: 2
Agility: 4
Luck: 1
Turns out I need to find my 360 disc.
I'm a twit
Isn't it on gamepass?
Only the base game
Does that version get this new update? I can’t figure it out.
I'm a twit
You have to own the game outright (rather than on Gamepass or PS Plus) to get the update.
Just started. Playing as a woman in the hope I can then be a dick. If I play as a man I always call him Mike and do the nice options.
I struggle.to be a bad guy in RPGs because the non-goody options tend to be terribly written unless you just want to be comedically evil.
Pretty sure I only have it cos of Gamepass and I’ve just loaded it to check and there’s a pop up box saying Three cheers for the Wanderers! In honor of Fallout 4’s latest update, we’ve added new weapons, apparel, and workshops to the Commonwealth. and a message in the top right corner saying FALLOUT 4 UPDATES The Fallout 4 next-gen update brings with it a new Quality and Performance mode, widescreen support and 3 Creation Club content packs; Enclave Remnants, Makeshift Weapon Pack, and the Halloween Workshop Pack.
So, er yeah, I presume us Gamepass scruffs get the update too.
I'm a twit
I also got that message but, if that's the next-gen coat of paint, they needn't have bothered.
They appear to have borked VATS somewhat, which manifests itself in two ways. The % chance to hit moves all over the shop, akin to Fallout 76 when you're trying to hit those commie propaganda robots and when multiple enemies are on screen, crashes.
Yeah, the crashes are ridiculous. I don't understand how you give the game a lick of paint and that fucks VATS up. Absolute amateur hour.
Touch wood but I haven't had any major issues thus far (Xbox Series X).
Just got to Diamond City and picked up Piper. Made a beeline for unlocking Overseer's Guardian so am set for a decent ranged gun for the rest of the play through (although it starts specced as a more assault rifle set-up). Sanctuary Water Farm Industries is taking shape as well
I'm on Series X too, odd. Persevered with the nonsense in any case and am now up to level 10 and have just got my first decent legendary weapon. A rapid 10mm pistol.
Up to Level 17 now. Pretty sharp increase in quests and stuff once you get to about 12. Ada, Deacon, BoS all on the go and that's with intentionally avoiding Preston.
Actually got some decent gear now too with Deliverer, Overseer's Guardian and Spray & Pray so just working through perks to make them more effective/customised.
Level 19 and still in zone 1. Pretty much cleared it all out now. Just need to do one more sweep of Corvega and then it's time to release Preston and start building those settlements up.
Loving it again, it has to be said and it probably is my favourite game ever.
Have you come across any of the Creation Club wank yet RD? I've been avoiding all of the quests but I see there's some modfied baseball I can make at the chemistry bench. Which is so well implemented I don't even know what it does.
Yeah, I'd agree here. It's not perfect, of course, but the world/lore/mechanics just tick a lot of my boxes and it feels like "home" in a way that other games which I've put considerable time into (e.g. Elden Ring) don't.
Not seen anything yet, outside of the quests being in my list. But it looks kinda borked so I've not even made a start on them.
One thing, the patch hasn't really done anything to downtown Boston. It's still a horrific lag-fest for me. Do you have a Series X? Is it ok for you?
I’m on the Series X and it was fine before the patch. Haven’t been there yet in this save but hoping that’s still the case.
