Necroing this thread for those who play Fallout 4.



I guess some of you still do it and if so you've been remiss in your reporting

Yes thanks for this, Crow. 🦅 Finally am playing some Fallout 4, finally sort of getting the hang of combat. Just discovered we can bash enemies with the butts of our guns!

10.30.2287 - day before Halloween. Aren't holidays recognized in this game? Maybe got this confused with Starfield. Anyway, FINALLY my gal Jenn X got a ferking quest done-- she retrieved a locket from USAF for some lady at Abernathy Farm,and also got to Level 4... pwned a bunch of raiders too.

Raiders in the Boston area seem to have appropriate Bahstahhn accents, unlike the wrong Jersey accents of Fallout 3. Folks in Maryland do not twalk like they's from Joisey!

Holidays are indeed recognized in Diamond City (Fenway Pahk). Pretty sure that’s the only location though. Also, I think it’s only Halloween and Christmas.

I'll get there eventually! I borked my install when I tried moving it to my new m2 drive and haven't rebuilt it yet.

Can anyone comment on the 10th anniversary update content? I want to get back into Fallout 4 soon to see how that stuff is, and I have had a bit of an itch to play the game again for a while. I want to try survival again, though at least modded so I can save anywhere--because I'm not going to deal with the BS of losing a ton of progress because I wasn't allowed to save for a long time.



Correct, unless some more was added in the 10th anniversary update. It is a nice touch, but would've been nice to have more.

Shoot that's correct, FO4 came out ten years ago, I'm in the habit of thinking it's "new'.

I think the latest update is just technical stuff; Some stability fixes, etc. I don't see anything about holidays, although " extra content" is mentioned.

My character is still hanging around Abernathy Farm, basking in the glory of completing her first quest: the retrieval of a Silver Locket which belongs to one of the farm hands. Some raiders at a USAF station stole it,which is weird. How would the farmers know which raiders took it?

NEW THINGS I NOTICE

1). Our character's got loads of idle animations; yawning, fidgeting, and so on.

2). -- Xbox controller hotkeys are hugely expanded. Instead of hotkeying just one item per D-pad direction we can put multiple items. So if I press the D-pad once and press A, a cheap 10 mm pistol is equipped. Press it twice now she's got a double-barrel shotgun. 3x = Glow Sighted Light Pipe Pistol, whatever that means.
Basically, the number of items per hotkey seem to be limitless.

Nearly every weapon in the game can be modded and customized to death at a Weapons Workbench. That weapon in particular is the basic Pipe Pistol with a light receiver and glowing iron sights.

There should be Weapon Workbenches at both Sanctuary Hills and Red Rocket - check them out when you are in the area and see what you can customize!

I really like the weapon modding systems in Fallout4 and Starfield.

That's something I've NEVER messed around with in Fallout3 or New Vegas: workbenches!!!
That's like an entirely new world of these games for me to explore.
