I wonder who the first one of us to build a huge GOT flashing sign will be.

I was quite impressed when I saw this:

Then I read how they did it, and was impressed some more

Got to admit, although I'm not overly fussed with graphics generally... Fallout 4 is quite the disappointment in the looks department ain't it? Feels... lazy.

I don't get that at all.

I have never looked at something in the game and thought....that looks rubbish.

In fact, overall, I have been quite impressed with it. It is more than just textures, the atmosphere created is brilliant. Especially when those radiation storms roll in.......

Some of the random encounters in Fallout are sickening.

I was just walking around south of that radio station that Goodman inhabits when a random firefight took place between a BOS gunship and a group of about six or seven raiders, which ended up with the gunship getting shot down by them and the upper half of the door-gunners body landing about a yard away from me.

Just came across this, highlighting how bloody scary the Assaultrons are.

I have killed two or three, but mainly through the use of mines and disabling their legs.

I came across one in a random event, apparently, where some Super Mutants were patrolling and then they got into an engagement. I was watching from behind a hill, a Mr. Gutsy and an Assaultron engaged a group of 3-4. I was hoping to salvage a bunch of military tech from the aftermath, but then I saw this red glow.

It was like Cyclops taking off his visor. A beam of brilliant red carved out a section of the wasteland, illuminating the area like daylight. The four Super Mutants were gone in an instant, broken down into mere component particles. Then the Assaultron looked at me.

I'm really not a fan.

Was at an abandoned train depot, when I saw a group of super-mutants attacking a lone wild brahmin. One of those suiciders charged it, igniting a nearby truck, which in turn detonated a load of nearby cars killing the other 3 super-mutants in the process.
The brahmin then charged past me seemingly unscathed! :lol:

Yeah I get that, and I'm all about art design beating graphical fidelity, but to me it doesn't look a 2015 AAA release. Every bit of it feels like its running on an old engine stretched to the limits.

I did just install a mod to remove the settlement size limit last night.......

Imagine how it's going to be a few months after the modders have got their hands on it. It will be as complicated as you want it to be, I can't wait.

I reckon it's a bit like when you take ecstasy and its a boss night - like the best night ever - and then you're just there in the moment back at your mates and no one has got any more pills so you're like on poppers and skinning up and it's suddenly all scatty but it's feels good and your mate Gary gets his cock out and suddenly you're touching it.

I mean we've all been there right?

That's so gay! Who needs drugs to get the courage to give a mate a quick hand shandy?

Fallout 4 1 hour away, downloading now, with my whopping top speed of 4.7mb on fibre optic.

Sure I'm being ripped off, that's not as fast as I expected when I changed to fibre optic.
