Fallout 4 Gameplay Part 2
“Let me enlighten you, grasshopper. Fallout 2 is cool because it's a nonlinear, nonclassbased kickass postnuclear computer roleplaying game with a high replayabillity value. Fallout 2 allows you to play your character the way you want. If you want to play a goodie-two-shoes, you can. If you want to play an evil bastard, you can (Yes, you really can hit children in the groin with a sledgehammer). If you want to play a moron who can hardly talk because of his low intelligence, you can.” — Shadowman. “I'll get you during my next save game.” — TheFirst of all you should find out if you need to patch your game.
On paper, Fallout 4 is a good game. The game begins with your character narrowly escaping the bombs that are the origin of all Fallout games and losing everything they held dear. It's a powerful start to the game, witnessing the war that is only alluded to in all other Fallout games. During Bethesda's E3 press conference today, Todd Howard took the stage to present a substantial gameplay demo for Fallout 4. Among the features showcased were a substantial crafting.
Originally this game existed in five different versions: the US edition, two UK editions (normal and low violence), and two localized editions in German and French respectively. Before playing you should locate, download and install the (v1.02) for your version, since this will drastically improve performance and gameplay from the unpatched version of the game. This is all in the readme file, by the way. Always read those. In the walkthrough, notes that are only relevant to the unpatched game will be marked with red stars, i.e. As being largely uninteresting.

If you have any kind of budget re-release or new localized version I don't think there should be any need to patch the game, but for your own sake you should make sure.Install the patch before you start playing, since saves made in the unpatched game will be invalidated. There is an unofficial save game converter, but I think it only works on US saves and not on any of the European versions.You can use the US executable with the UK version if you are bothered by the CD lock of the latter.
To my knowledge there are no harmful consequences to this. As an aside, there are a few known purely textual differences between the US and UK versions concerning 'sensitive' words: 'drug' has become 'chem', and 'addiction' has become 'reliance' (but the 'Addict' tab in the main interface is still the same). The reason why is anyone's guess, but if you've been wondering where I got this 'chem' word from, that's the explanation.There is no official patch for the English Low Violence edition (marked ELV on the CD), but it's been reported that using either the US or UK patch works fine, even though it says in the readme that 'applying a patch from any of the other versions will severely corrupt the game'. You might want to go for the US patch, because of the CD lock thing. (Actually what I'd really recommend is not having anything to do with that product in the first place.)I also strongly recommend, if you have any other version than the US one, that you download the so-called children patch.
This set of files, which is not technically a patch at all, will add the in-game children which have been removed from these versions (for some obscure reason of law or policy which apparently did not apply at all to Baldur's Gate, where you can roast kids with Fireballs all you want). You don't need any additional code, it's all there already.
If you don't have the kid files, you'll miss out on a few quests, be exposed to invisible pilferers and be confounded by bodiless voices, which is all bad. You have been warned.The contents of the children patch are simply the kid graphics files which have been copied raw from the US CD, and what's been done to the UK version to remove the kids is simply keeping those same files off the CD. Interestingly enough, Interplay's customer support used to deny all this, but I suppose that would have to be their official line.A somewhat edited Ashmo: 'The German version has no kids and only the 'low violence' deaths.
People drop dead. If you set it to normal violence rather than none, they drop dead and bleed. The preferences screen is a bit different as there are only two options on the violence control.
You need to get the gore patch (which usually includes the children patch) and then edit the config file to set the violence level higher (setting it to 3 should do the trick). The alternative is to get the executable from the US or UK version and overwrite yours.'
Saving and loading times in the unpatched version can be as long as a minute or more. There are at least three ways of improving this to an acceptable 3-10 seconds:. Install the patch!. Use the large installation size instead of the humongous. This may seem counter-intuitive, but it works that way on many computers. Shut down or disable programs running in the background, such as virus scanners.I have also found on my own computer that Windows instability has at times caused a significant increase to loading times and that restarting the computer takes care of this. Your system may have its own peculiarities.
On fast computers loading times may not be an issue at all, but there are always other problems that crop up to compensate.One potential problem that relates to processor speed concerns world map travel. On some fast computers, you will zip across the map and have virtually no encounters. Conversely, on computers that can barely run the game you might experience slow travel with numerous interruptions (though this should be a less frequent issue).
There are hacks you can use to restore travel speed to a more reasonable level, or you could try running an emulator.Save often! Ideally you should quicksave after every battle and before every conversation. Having to play even a few minutes' worth of shootin' and lootin' all over again because you made the wrong choice in a dialogue can be irksome. (Of course it may also happen that you realize only afterwards that you've done something wrong and wish you had not saved.) I'd also recommend keeping a save game slot for each time you enter a new major location (town etc.). This way if you really screw up somehow and only find out after you save (it can happen), you 'only' have to replay that area.
These saves can also come in handy later on if you want to see what would have happened if you'd done differently in a particular quest.A little word of warning about quicksave: as you probably know the quicksave function is 'reset' when you use the regular load or save commands. However, it's not reset if you exit the current game and start a new character.Once you fill up your quota of slots you can use a file manager of your choice to make room for new ones. Just rename a save game folder (those named 'Slot01' through 'Slot10') you don't need for the moment to something which gives you a hint of what it contains (like 'Slot02-klam'), and that slot will be free for use again.
Then whenever you want to bring back an archived save, restore that folder's name to a valid one. You can use a similar trick to swap between whole save catalogues by renaming the 'Savegame' folder to 'SavegameX' or something else. This way you can juggle different games with different characters.A more 'realistic' approach to the game involves using a single save slot and reloading only if you die or screw up entirely by mistake (but not, for instance, if you fail some action or have second thoughts about something). Not recommended at all for beginners. Also better use at least one more slot for backup just in case your save files are corrupted.
An even more realistic playing style called 'iron man' involves never saving the game at all except between playing sessions; if you die, you're dead and have to start all over again! “You'd think there's only ten kinds of people in the world. Way I figure it, there was some big cloning accident in the past.” —The system used for character design is so flexible that a complete run-down on possible types isn't feasible nor desirable. I'll center this discussion on a character type which has worked very well for me and try to argue briefly why it does. If the four extremes of character creation are the ones known as diplomat, thief, sniper and brawler, mine is a kind of small guns generalist who can in time excel at everything.

It is somewhat similar to the one popularly known as 'diplosniper', although some details such as my liking of Fast Shot may run counter to that definition. In any case you'll gain a lot more xp than in, which is why there's really no need to choose a specific path.The pre-defined characters are generally considered to suck dead gophers (e.g. Has Throwing, has Skilled and has Barter). One of the nicest things about most computer RPGs is creating your own character or characters, anyway; even if I wanted a 'Mingan' character, I'd make one instead of taking Mingan.Gender plays a negligible role in the game. Bartering is only affected if you also have the Sex Appeal trait.

The only noteworthy differences are that male characters can donate genetic material in and date, while female characters can sleep with, and for money or favours and can get hired by to go to the. There are several more people that will only sleep with characters of a specific gender (e.g., ), but not much comes of it.
Stupid characters can only box if they're male.Age is not checked in any of the scripts. A nice detail is that your character will age as time goes by in the game (well, maybe the opposite would have been strange, but it's nice anyway, isn't it?). StatsWhen allotting char points there are some things to keep in mind:.: Extremely useful for.
Carrying stuff. Believe me, this is a game in which you'll want to carry stuff. You should start out with at least 5 (especially if you're taking ). However, since ST can be increased by 6 points during the game (perk +1, surgery +1, armour +4), I wouldn't recommend going any higher than that; even if you go for the full 10 it will mostly be noticeable in the beginning stages of the game (and a waste towards the end).: Good for ranged combat.
A starting minimum of 5 is required for the, but there are quest benefits to setting it to 6 even for HtH characters. Can be increased by 2 points during the game (perk +1, surgery +1).: Determines and not much else. Unless you like close combat a little too much I wouldn't put more than 4 (and anyway, two extra points to EN still only means some 30 extra HP by the end of the game). Can be increased by only 1 point during the game (perk +1).: Useful for keeping your dialogue options open, though not nearly so important as Intelligence. Affects bartering both directly and indirectly.
Your maximum number of followers is equal to your CH divided by two, rounded down. Even if you don't plan to keep any company you might want to set it to 2 so you can at least pick up NPCs temporarily for xp and such.
Can be increased by 3 points during the game (perk +1, surgery +1, shades +1).: Unless you plan to rely on brute force for everything, this is likely your most important statistic since it rules conversation and determines extra skill points per level. 7 is a balanced value since it means you only need one for the few occasions where you need to go higher, though anything up to and including 9 is probably not too much. Can be increased by 3 points during the game (perk +1, surgery +1, weird brain alignment +1).: Determines your, so you don't want less than 6, and starting with anything up to 10 doesn't hurt.
Can be increased by only 1 point during the game (perk +1).: As the effects of Luck are not so obvious, it's easy to perceive it as the trash stat of the system (much like Charisma usually is everywhere else). It does have an impact on your rate of critical hits, especially with the perk in place, but early in the game you won't suffer much from a low Luck score. It can be improved by 3 points during the game (perk +1, either a weird brain alignment +2 or another weird brain alignment +1).Stats can never be effectively raised above 10. Of those stat rises mentioned above, the 'weird alignment' which gives IN +1 and LK +1 and the other which gives LK +2 are mutually exclusive. Also evil characters will normally lose out on the 'surgery' IN +1 bonus.A of 5 is enough to handle virtually all weapons early on and many later ones as well (, ). ST 6 is needed for some mid- or late-game weapons such as the and, and ST 7 for all kinds of miniguns, which means that once you get the you can pick and choose anyway.
If you use a Bozar with ST 5 you 'only' get a -20% penalty which can be balanced with skill points, whereas the stat point can be put to better use.EN, CH and AG all work in the way that an odd score will not give you any significant advantages compared to the even number below, e.g. AG 6 or 7 both give you 8 Action Points. Keep this in mind, but also keep in mind ways of increasing stats later; with an odd starting AG, the Gain Agility perk becomes an extra, which it wouldn't otherwise.As listed in the patch notes, the correct amount of extra HP per level is EN/2+2 (rounded down).You can eat and recruit party members while your CH is high; you won't lose them when your CH.
