Finally got into this last night, just got up to returning to sanctuary after first mission, started playing on Main TV, then other half wanted to watch tv so streamed to SP3, back onto main tv later on, gaming in the digital age, gotta love it. Hope to put a few more hours in tonight, but so far, impressed, can see the building part being addictive, may set up around that rocket garage place.

Thank you so much!!
There is a quest later on in the game where you have to meet some characters in South Boston, from where you start (near Vault 111). You can fast travel there (it's the other side of the map), but I walked with them the whole way, clearing the road with them and hearing their banter.
Loot Raider armor and combine different pieces.
No real issues ive noticed yet mate, im ruining it off an external 1TB WD hard-drive, happy with what im seeing at the mo, no noticeable slow down but im only few hours in.

If it's the place I think you're talking about,
I found the code in the room with the Legendary Radroach.

Thanks, I'll give it another look tonight.
I got it from killing some guy in South Boston. Can't remember his name though

Question as my copy doesn't arrive until later today (and I'm stuck at work). Is there a Hardcore mode available in F4? I've been a bit out of the loop but haven't seen anything on that yet. Apologies if someone asked this already.

After finally playing for a while I think the graphics (XO here) are actually really quite nice. I was playing next to my mate who was playing BLOPS3 and kept noticing how nice the lighting and atmosphere effects are in F4. Also, the game kicks ass. Playing on very hard and there are certain places I just can't go yet because I'll get my shit wrecked. Reminds me of Morrowind in a way, and that makes me happy. Haven't even left the top corner of the map yet either.

The "Survival" difficulty is available from the start
Another poster on here said they only come via the bridge. Haven't been attacked yet so I'm not sure.

So, where are the vendors? (pre diamond city).
I've only encountered 3 so far, 2 in the diner and 1 traveling merchant that also hang out in sanctuary. If counting the overseer in the greenyard, it would be 4.

Heh, im bit of an old dude myself and Im really enjoying the building part also. I was pleasantly surprised when i found out I could do this, and now to add my doorways.
I always loot them but they give me crappy leather, is scaling in effect again?
It's out in the water but the tower above the radio has something you can wire the radio to
THANK YOU! I was pulling my hair out over this!
Once you get further you'll encounter enforced and metal types.
You can also try to reinforce pieces yourself via an armor workbench

also anyone know a good place to find food? Like stuff I can use for planting crops in settlements? I haven't found any after a good while of playing.

Gotcha, thanks man. So looks like it increases health of mobs and increases the rate of legendary creatures, but doesn't have the sleep / eat / drink requirements of Hardcore mode from Vegas. Still, better chance of epic loot, so that's something.
Considering starting out at Survival. I want a game where I really have to work hard to not die.
I just get them exploring, you harvest things plants. Not unlike Skyrim.
Also there are some farms near Sanctuary you can get some Tato from.

I struggled with that too at first. Ended up finding some at an other settlement and basically stole it from under their noses without any complaints
Loot crops from other towns and settlements. >
Yeah, there is a small settlement early on you go to as part of a quest that has a load of Tanto's to pilfer!
I'm a bit bummed I couldn't contain my hype and wait for some mods to fix the things I dislike about the game. It's been a solid experience so far, pretty fun, but it could be a LOT of fun.
Yeah. It's the one thing I genuinely like about the dialogue.
"Please help us! My daughter's been kid-"
"uh-uh"
"We'll all die if you don't-"
"cool"
"You have to he-"
"nah"

I've found plants like wild nutrition I can take but can't plant for some reason. But when I harvest already planted gardens I can plant those.
Abernathy Farm, which is relatively close to Sanctuary. Need to complete a quest if you want it as a settlement but before you do that you can harvest the crops there.

I killed attack dogs that was wearing armor and transferred it to dogmeat. After you transfer hit the "equip" button to have your companion equip it
Damn, I'm tempted to do this. Stop tempting me!

If Bethesda and Obsidian collaborated to make an open world RPG it would result in an absolutely fantastic game. All of the strengths and none of the weaknesses of both developers. Also, I'm starting to think the dialogue system was a terrible idea. Why change something that just works? I can't roleplay like I used to in Skyrim for instance. All those cool quest mods for Skyrim will also be really tough to do now with a voiced protagonist.

All the Fallout games have been flawed despite what some folks like to remember. Lot of imbalanced game mechanics, perk balance all over the place, difficulty/combat encounters were all over the place. They are often sloppy games that just are still fun.
Fallout 2 was a huge mess of a game at launch, major bugs galore that needed several patches to fix, and even then bunch of glitches still remain to this day in the game. The game balance in FO2 was one of the worst in the series, tons of moments where suddenly you could get killed in one shot by a lucky crit, or some stupid AI would do something like wipe out half your party with friendly fire crit. Random encounters that were essentially instant death... hope you saved!

Is that piece of shit Tobin bridge in this?
I disagree, completely, you're being extremely reductionist about this game for whatever reason, it does its job despite the streamlining.
You can only really shoot in farcry 3 and mass effect 3, you don't have to in this game if you build your character for other methods of mayhem, farcry and mass effect funnel you to a high degree toward one direction and gate your progress as a character behind that.. i have reached level 9 and have not met Preston Garvey and have 2 Legendary enemies under my belt and a buttload of set pieces and quests that I could have tackled a number of ways with my setup.
Its true this entry has its hiccups where purists are concerned, but its doing well for a reason, and that aint because its mass effect or far cry, its actually a good rpg.

Welp, this worked rofl

Vault 111, no spoilers. It's that weapon locked in the expert case but Dogmeat can get it.
Looks like a bug but I'm not complaining haha
