goddamnit. VPNs still getting slammed. Tried SoftEther, but like, how do I even use it. I probably downloaded the wrong thing, that download page was confusing as gently caress.

I'm considering Energy Weapons for the first time ever in a Fallout game, but are they worth it? In the past they've been way too scarce or too much of a hassle to deal with that regular guns were the clearly superior option.

You get energy weapons early on and ammunition is absurdly plentiful. I had well over 1,000 rounds of energy weapon ammo by the end of the game.

(fun fact: the HUD Ammo counter only goes to 999 even if you have more.)

And they use the same perks as ballistic weapons, right? Because I've never really used energy weapons in Fallout before because I didn't want to commit to them, but this sounds like I'll actually be able to do so this time around.

You don't really pick bullets vs energy in this game, you pick gun type (rifes/heavy/handguns/etc) and then level that up. You can use either type past that.

Yes, as far as I can tell.

A tip for a stealth build: Laser Musket. Seriously. Six cranks and a stealth shot is comical amounts of damage.

Whoever said that Perth is actually Singapore for vypervpn, they either fixed it or you are wrong.

It was the only Australia server I could connect to, and it's decrypting now.

Anyone who has been stuck forever unable to connect to the Sydney, Melbourne, or New Zealand servers, try Perth now, it works.

I don't know how it is on PC but on PS4 you just hold down X. So try holding down whatever button you press to confirm maybe?

I just tried this and you're right; it's not Singapore anymore.

It's actually Japan (which still doesn't work). Guess you were lucky.

Can you mod Unarmed weapons? I didn't see a perk for it, is it under the "melee mods" perk?

Didn't work for me, but adding bMouseAcceleration=0 to [Controls] in Fallout4Prefs.ini fixed it.
Also setting fMouseHeadingYScale=.041 instead of .021 made X and Y behave more synchronized.

These are exactly the same mouse problems as in Skyrim.

You can mod Power Fists at least. They're under the melee weapon mods.

the game is designed to be played by small children and the mentally impaired so if youre thinking about "builds" and "planning" going in youre already putting more thought into character creation than anyone at bethesda did

this doesn't even make sense, the scaling in oblivion/fo3/skyrim was such that it's actually pretty easy to completely gently caress yourself over by being a noob to how videogames work or trying to do something like maxing talk skills or crafting first

Quit out after leaving the vault to grab a drink and when I loaded it up again there was a different loading video - this time it was an animated perception tutorial. Looks like there is at least one per SPECIAL stat.

I've been kinda anxious how well my system will run it, I have GTX 960 (4GB) with i5-2500 3.3ghz and 8GB. If anything the CPU could be a bottleneck but I'm hearing good things about optimization, so I'm hoping I'll get the actual game soon.

So what's the deal with different factions and reputations and stuff? Is there a lot of freedom of choice in how you handle that? Is there a lot of freedom in how to solve quests?

I guess this game called 'New Vegas', which did stuff like that, being mysteriously absent in most reviews says it all really. :3:
