Tortorella's Rant Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 11 hours ago, Captain Woodget said: Again, I'm still a low level (9), but I may be being far too nice. I have seven people at Sanctuary, each with their own house. They have one bedroom, a kitchen, a lounge and bathroom each. Mama Murphy gets all the drugs she wants, and my turrets appear to keep raiders at bay (never been attacked so don't know how efficient they are. What's the best way of building up power? I construct windmills but they're gigantic, is there a better method? Hows that working? Whining about bedding still? How many people? I've maxed out at 17 right now. For power, I use generators. I don't have a ton requiring power either so. Some lights here and there, a TV or Jukebox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still very early stages of the game, but happiness is at 63% for my 7 settlers. Despite them each having their own place, they all hang around Mama Murphy's house, forever banging invisible nails onto walls. I hate each and every one of them, except for Preston Garvey, who wanders the streets like a zombie, ignoring the others. Codswallop is my most loathed character, I'm waiting to level up before I kill the thing. No good can come of robots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your best bet would be to wait until you have Local Leader, and ship him off to some desolate settlement somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 That might make me stop playing tbh. If I can't kill my own servants, why bother traipsing around picking up tin cans and bottle caps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I've really hit a wall in this game. Got sick of clearing out the same areas again and again. Next time I pick it up I may limit my sidequests, and screw the settlements. Have to get into the main story, which is actually quite interesting.

Aardvark Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Yeah, the "defend x settlement" quests are kindof annoying, repeating quests that never end and have little purpose other than more XP. There are some of these repeatable quests with BOS and Railroad factions as well. It's a Bethesda game - many of them seem to have these "radiant" quests that are relatively meaningless (e.g. Skyrim and the extra quests for the Dark Brotherhood or Thieves Guild). I guess they're fine if you enjoy them, need to grind out a little bit more XP for another level. This is part of what I love about these kinds of non-linear play games though - they don't force you into doing these optional quests. You can skip them if you want, or you can grind up as many levels as you want and really max out a character. I tend to have multiple characters with different setups. In the case of Fallout 4, I have done a dumb, low charisma melee specialist, a plain vanilla pistol/rifle dude, and also a high intelligence & charisma character in different playthroughs. Just got the platinum trophy a couple of nights ago, but there were a few more sidequests that I wanted to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 /\ I'm in my 30's, and have a wife and kids. Ain't got time for that! But yeah, there's something for everyone. I don't feel the need to squeeze every bit out of a game, nor do I really care about finding out about every character/etc. I don't even read most of the computer logs (just open them to update potential location/quest being added).

I spent 20 minutes going through a place before realizing I did it a couple weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that places reset after 30 days (in the game) a place will completely reset, with all the badguys and loot returned. Supposedly the same in Skyrim. On the one hand, allows players to replay a section they enjoyed, or found lucrative lootwise. On the other, it's kind of annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, with another kid due in a few weeks. I read somewhere that the average save game is 150 hours deep in F4 - with all the other games I play, I'm on course to reach that in September 2018.

I was well on my way to that, but wasn't playing much of anything else. But lately have been using a lot of free time on Battlefront, so F4 time has slowed to a trickle.

Haha, I'm in my 40's, have a full time job, real world responsibilities & therefore only play a bit here and there. I'm out in a canoe four days per week, as well. Granted, I did have a lot of free time between Christmas & New Years, when it was a bit too cold to justify paddling, so that's when I put the biggest dent in the 100% completion. That being said, when I play this kind of game, it's all I play, so no going back & forth between other games. I had to stop watching a few TV shows & cut back on my Canucks games to accommodate my Fallout addiction. Now that I've finished with this one, I need to deal with Witcher 3 and Dragon Age Inquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I've finished with this one, I need to deal with Witcher 3 and Dragon Age Inquisition. I get that. I find it hard to focus on more than one game at a time also. Start losing your place in the story, timing, controls. I remember loving Batman: Arkham City for PS3 for the first few days, but then I got stuck on Mr. Freeze. Game got put on the backburner, and then the next couple times I picked it up, I couldn't get anywhere with him, since now I forgot controls/combos and was rusty. Ended up just shutting it down, and never playing it again. Hockey is the notable exception, since I've been playing it for decades, so it's easy to pick up at any time.

Monty Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I really wish I had the patience to play games like F4 and Dragon Age Inquisition. Loved these types of games when I was in my 20s. But now that I'm closing into my mid-30s, I purchased these games, played them each of them for maybe 2 hours each, and have never come back to them. Just don't have the time anymore.

Just don't have the time anymore. I play XB1 for 1 hour 6 nights a week, 90mins on a couple of nights if I'm lucky. I have about 30 games I play, so they each get about an hour a month. It not only makes it difficult to remember which buttons are which - Witcher 3 is most difficult - but also means that I don't make much progress in any of them. I'll probably miss a few months when the baby comes, so a game like Far Cry 4 - which I started at Christmas - may not get completed by me until 2018. In the meantime, loads of new games get released and I spend less and less time on each of them. I need to stop buying games for a year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went without buying new games for a long time, as I knew I wasn't playing them much. Then I purchased Dragon Age Inquisition, the latest Assassins Creed, Fallout 4, and Battlefront in a period of about a month and a half of each other. Played Assassins Creed for a few days, and Dragon Age and F4 barely at all. Most game time I've giving to is Battlefront. Easy to step in and get me some instant fun. But I just don't have the time, or want to give the time to it anymore. I play for a bit until the wife gets home, then I would rather spend time with her. Which is funny/great because we've been married 12 years and we spend far more time together now then we did early on in our marriage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm in the 6-7 year phase, we sit in the same room but do our own thing because we hate the TV programmes the other person watches (Game of Thrones aside). Having another kid will put us right back to Peppa Pig DVDs anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Peppa Pig is on Netflix now, so don't have to screw around with the DVDs. I don't play games when my wife is home either. And I won't play a game with violence in front of the kids (other than hockey). So my gaming is mostly 2-3 late nights per week after wife has gone to bed, or the odd morning where I wake up an extra half-hour early for work and play over my morning coffee. The other trick is when I'm looking after the kids (I'm home with the kids while my wife works 2 days a week), and they are eating and/or just watching their shows, I set them up in their highchairs away from the TV with a tablet playing Netflix, and tilt the TV away from them. Might get a bit in while they're napping. But that's only may a couple hours total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
