Hi, I'm nortonff. I spend my life going into threads to say that I don't care about the topic of the thread. It's a really good use of my time.
Nothing about loading times. sigh

Does this make getting the 100 Happiness achievement less infuriating. Spent like 2 hours setting up a new settlement yesterday and then it bottlenecked ~_~.

HBAO+ is a great addition to the PC version.

Easy, open them in separate tabs, switch between the two and the much higher quality AO should be obvious.

Reasonable performance hit from experience.

I swear I've used stimpaks on Curie before. Second most common follower but then she rarely gets taken down...so maybe I'm thinking someone else. I did hold off on becoming friends with MacReady after hearing about that overpowered glitch though.

I hope this update let's me play the game in full screen on my pc... Haven't made it out of the vault because of this and I've had the game since launch.

At least I wont teleport across the map when I pull up my scope every once in a while

Also the extra rotation options sound like a godsend for decorating my home plate.

Differences are always noticed by comparison. You need a point of reference lol.

Duh. I mean I just don't understand how is it a huge improvement. With or without it, feel the same. Most people wouldn't notice it if you don't tell them.
But maybe it's because I'm a peasant with a filthy PC :(

Can't believe they still haven't fixed all the issues in the "Trouble Brewin'" quest. By far the buggiest one in the game since it can fuck up in so many different ways. Remarkable for such a shitty quest.

My game won't let me upgrade my Silver Shroud armor. I was hoping the next patch would fix it but.... Bethesda only gives me the lowest expectations for that ever being fixed.

This image reminds me that Fallout 4 has such a shitty amount of real time shadows from most light sources. There are no non-ao shadows in that screen.... After loading up the division, which has TONS of light sources with shadows... yikes.

Oh wow, had this exact same issue... in Skyrim's Civil War questline. Got to the end of the long, boring chain and the bosses were tagged as invulnerable. :(

I don't see an upgrade here that makes me want to lose the cap glitch and the McCready shot glitch....

Not to mention that the last update screwed up Vita remote play buttons. If they didn't fix that, I may never upgrade.
