If you are reading this, then I am already dead. I wrote this message before the release of Fallout 4, fearing it may overtake my soul. This is my final farewell.

Tell my family I love them so very much.

Tell Eldriken he's a filthy pirate. I've made my stance on illegal activity pretty clear, yet he continues to defy my order.

Tell Qwark he's free. We both know damn well he ain't playing no survival difficulty.
I will leave brahmin poop in every refrigerator I find.

It's all so very confusing.
I. Love. This. Game.

I *would* be nice if harder difficulty equated to more than it does.. I dislike bulletsponging as a method to increase difficulty. To me, part of the skill of a shooter is the ability to very quickly dispatch high priority enemies. Now, in a game with levels and loot and with that loot having modifiers, I know its not that simple, bbuutt still. If I shoot you in the face, it shouldn't take upteen shots to die unless you clearly have facial/head armor. Its a MINOR complaint. Just something.

Also, does anyone know if the dog counts as a follower? I have the perk that beefs you up if you travel alone, but dunno if the dog counts as a follower. I'm not sure how to send him away yet, and I've heard of some people losing him when they do, so I'm a little hesitant currently.

I just cleared out the Corvega factory.. Holy shit. Just walking around that place was amazing. Climbing the towers and ramparts and scaffolding and just looking around is amazing. So many approaches and options.. My hoarder tendencies are on full-on freakout though. Sigh./

Yea the dog counts as a follower. You can talk to him and "dismiss" him and select to send him to any Settlement.

What happened to me is that I sent him to Sanctuary since it's my main home and my other companions are there. Went solo the last few days and did like 10 quest. Needing a bookbag so when I went to go get him he was nowhere to be found. I searched EVERYwhere, the entire Sanctuary, even other settlements in case I made a mistake. I searched in the day time, in the night time. I took a full hour of searching just because I was so hell bent on finding him. Nope. Dog is apparently gone forever lol. Send him away at your own risk. -.-

Hate your SOUL. I have one, but its not modded to be worth half a damn yet. I did finally find a trader and picked up a couple pieces of dope armor though.
I found a few but this one I found during a quest. I hadn't seen it before and still haven't seen it since. It looked strong so I upgraded it, and between that and my perks I've unlocked and upgraded it has become godlike. I named it "Silent Death" because it kills anything on one headshot lol.

No you won't. Why don't you continue playing on Very Easy. After all, you needed to summon to beat the bosses in Dark Souls 2 instead of soloing them like a man.

This is something I never understand. Before I do anything major i always save my game, and anything minor I quicksave. Pokemon Blue taught me early the hardship of not saving.

I fear when it's time to build my settlement. I have huuuuuge resource gathering addiction. >_> I'll scrap everything on the fucking planet if a game allows me to.

I'm a man. Men don't save before every encounter like scared little girls. We roll with the punches and live with our choices, allowing them to shape and define us.
























However men do quick save a lot. And thankfully I quick save every 2 minutes.

I hate how there's no option to turn auto aim off. I want to snipe someone close to another dude and my scope goes all slow.

I save periodically but consciously when I'm about to try something silly. Like when I noticed flammable containers are actually pressurized and flammable in this game. When I knocked over a propane tank and startled a very, very angry Feral Roamer (I was level 1 on survival, don't judge) and he preceded to eat my face (cool addition to NPC kills on you), I took a step back, saved and pulled that propane tank out of the building into the open.

First, I shot the nozzle off. It flew off adorably, bouncing around until it exploded.

Second, I shot it twice in the body, it went boom.

Third, I placed if across the door as a trap, lured the Roamer out and blew it to hell with the help of my environment.

And that's when I realized I can adapt Half-Life 2 problem solving to Fallout 4. Thank you Bethesda for making your world more robust, interactive and intuitive!

Codsworth: Mister Ricky?

Rickyraws: Yeah...yeah that's right....say my name....oh yeah.....

I wouldn't go so far as to say uninstall the game lol, but I do see what you're saying. You just have to go into this game with an open mind imo knowing it's not made by the original Interplay people or Obsidian. But this is an interesting topic to discuss. I generally nowadays don't play an rpg unless it has an extensive character creation system. Which is why I'm so hesitant to buy the Witcher 3, because although it's many peoples game of the year, I don't associate myself with the character of Geralt, and it's hard for me to care what he's doing. CD Projekt Red is a fantastic studio though. I hope Cyberpunk 2077 allows character creation and freedom away from scripts.
I already see a no voice mod up. Once a mod comes that shows exactly what dialogue you'll be saying, I'm definitely on board. Nothing more annoying than your character saying something you're not expecting.

That's odd. Are you playing on console or PC? I heard complaints that there ISN'T auto aim, but I didn't look into them or pay them much thought.

I found four "free" Fusion Cores in a box.
Towards the back of Diamond City, there's a trailer that functions as a radio station. Inside, a dude is just chilling out. There's a box in a corner of the room that's holding four Fusion Cores. The dude's facing directly towards it, but he occasionally looks away, giving you time to loot it.

So far the game is better than I expected. It has a nice atmosphere, and the combat is fun. I'm only about 7 hours in right now because my other 7 hour save got deleted because YOU CAN'T MAKE MORE THAN ONE CHARACTER AT A TIME. My major complaints are the dialogue and story so far, really boring stuff. I also don't really know when to use Power Armor, after the first Deathclaw encounter I don't really know what to do with it, or when it will be useful.
Dude fuck the dialog... I hate that they changed that particular system. Limits most conversations to option 1, option 2, yes, no...

Hmm interesting point, I personally believe the witcher 3 is one of the best RPG's I've ever played. Although you can't roleplay an evil warlord it does such a good job of delivering a deep and involving story that I didn't care. The side quests have some of the best details and nothing ever devolves into go fetch this, go do that. It really made things feel like they had a purpose, and the bloody baron questline was one of the most mature and well done quests in any game I've ever played. Plus the world...ugh so fucking pretty. It's not perfect by any means, but I heartily recommend it to everyone I can. I had similar trepidations before I got it, as I had never played 2 or 1 but it's worth it IMO.
