Hurlshort Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I don't think hardcore was really designed to be more difficult, it is just more of a realism mechanic. I'm enjoying it so far. Traps definitely suck more when you have to go to a doctor, and worrying about the radiation level of food is neat.
Tale Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I don't know if it's a glitch, but I don't need to go to the doctor. I just rest. I'm thinking it might be the canteen. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Enoch Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I don't know if it's a glitch, but I don't need to go to the doctor. I just rest. I'm thinking it might be the canteen. I think Hurlie's talking about crippled limbs. I don't have the V13 Canteen, but I'd be really surprised if it or a quick nap can fix a broken leg (which is what traps tend to do to me, at least).
Tale Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I could swear it's fixed broken limbs. Surprised me, too. May just be my faulty memory, though. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Monte Carlo Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 You mean... There are no healing potions? :/
HoonDing Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Doesn't a high Medicine skill allow to fix broken limbs? The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Calax Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I can't read it because google wants to translate it into some Eastern block country language. Which of these mean 'go away auto translator' ? N Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Hurlshort Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Doesn't a high Medicine skill allow to fix broken limbs? With a doctors kit, I believe.
Nightshape Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Chrome? I think the general internet concensus is that Chrome is dad IT don't allow us to use any oither browser. I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!
Thorton_AP Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Is there a consolidated area for tweaks to improve performance? 80% of the performance is fine but I do get some stuttering.
Gorgon Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Is it safe to assume that if FO3 ran smoothly that this will too ? Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
LadyCrimson Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Installed, chr. made...never played a Fallout before so stats/karma/combat all new to me. Didn't get far because I'm now watching baseball. I'll play more late-night. Brief first impressions: I don't know what cutting-edge graphics are supposed to be these days, but to me it looks pretty good. Steam install went fine & my FPS is 70-90 w/everything high & some things like various view distances boosted even higher than default. But like I said, haven't done much so we'll see if I run into anything later. “Things are as they are.

Mirage Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Hmmm, I wonder what the core Fallout fans (of the old ones), will think of this game. Some of them seem reserved at this point, and that's understandable.
Serrano Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) I've only been playing for 2 hours but it's fantastic so far. I love the introduction, the art and style very much feels like the early Fallouts. The graphics most certainly have taken a step up from Fallout 3, and the animations while limited in the way that they were in Fallout 3 at least look much more natural now. Good job on the swaying hips for lady characters by the way. The combat feels much more comfortable without that blasted slow-mo cam and I could be wrong but the AI is quite a bit better as well? No problems at all yet by the way, I was nervous from the reviews but it's very slick, no lag, no bugs and it seems to be the best mix of the old and new. Thank you Obsidian, thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm very much looking forward to your next release. Edited October 22, 2010 by Serrano
Lexx Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) So, who can tell me where I can buy a combat armor reinforced? I want my combat armor gear looks like from back in the old days! I found the reinforcer helmet at the Gun Runners, but not the body armor. Instead, I found Mk2 there and at the Brotherhood. I could buy it already, but I don't want to, because then I have no reason to stick to the normal one instead of the Mk2 version. And I actually have another problem. My ED-E is gone. The game still thinks that the robot is with me- npcs react to it, the perk is still there, etc. But I just can't find him, he is simply gone. Someone experienced such thing already? Someone has any ideas how to solve that? If I can't see ED-E, I can't dismiss him from the group as well, etc. pp. Edited October 22, 2010 by Lexx "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
~Di Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Installed Steam. Hey my 6 yr old account is still there. Question, I always uncheck all possible options stuff on such clients, do I need to have SteamCloud on to install/play games? So I guess that's confirmation that one does have to download and install Steam before playing this game. I'd hoped it was a false rumor.
Lexx Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Old news is old. Steam is needed for the pc version. We know this since long long long long time. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
WorstUsernameEver Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Redownloading the English version since Steam obviously preloaded the Italian one, 71%. I'll let you know my impression and whether it's a buggy mess or not on my rig.
HoonDing Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Is it safe to assume that if FO3 ran smoothly that this will too ? Apparently it runs like ass with Nvidia cards. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
WorstUsernameEver Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 According to Josh it's an NVidia drivers bug so either you roll back to older drivers or use the quick-fix provided by funcroc in the first post.
HoonDing Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Oh, I'm still using 2007 drivers for my 8800GT. I expect it to not run worse than FO3; then again I applied several tweaks to the fallout3.ini for multithreaded CPU use & memory optimization. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Nepenthe Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Chrome? I think the general internet concensus is that Chrome is dad IT don't allow us to use any oither browser. That's still better than when I was working for the Finnish Ministry of Justice (up until 2008) and we weren't allowed to use other browsers than Exploder 6 (the others hadn't been 'certified'). The best part was that CERT-FI (another government entity, Computer Emergency Response Team) had issued a recommendation against using it for its exceptional vulnerability. Of course, they might have just thought that a tabless browser would improve workplace efficiency. I'm pretty sure it did, in my case. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Humanoid Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I still use and will continue to use IE6 at work for the foreseeable future. That, and Lotus Notes. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
Nepenthe Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I still use and will continue to use IE6 at work for the foreseeable future. That, and Lotus Notes. Yes, Lotus Notes was a part of the deal with us, as well. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Niten_Ryu Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Suprisingly finnish post was efficent today and I got my game. Damn manuals are pitiful these days, no skill / perk descriptions at all. Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.
