But the bugs are half the fun of a Bethesda game.

Damn. Looks like they stealth updated Shelter. Only can send 10 dwellers out to the wasteland at a time, when I previously had a rotation of about 20 including the ones I send off to their demise to stay under the 200 cap.

couldn't enjoy any downtime with the added run-ins of Deathclaws so I saved myself the time and uninstalled. Trashing my Nuka-Cola reactors every minute was not cool when all I wanted to do was oversee how many babies Poopfromweiner dude was making

I created AJ Lee and CM Punk and their baby was named Vincent. Is this an Easter Egg or just random happenstance?

I have heavy weapons dudes (Rocket Launchers) in the first room, so most intruders are dead before they can even get into the main Vault. Keeping the elevators in a straight line was good advice for DeathClaws. They run predictable patterns.

So does anybody know when pre-orderers are expected to get Fallout3 code?

When it's ready. Backwards compatibility isn't coming out of preview until November, so probably not until then. It might even come after Fallout 4.

Newest trailer released for the game:

Bethesda revealed they hired the guy responsible for Destiny's Vita control scheme to work on Remote Play for the PS4 version.

Didn't play that vid, but man, I really miss the font they used to usr for the numbers on the back of the Vault suits in FO3 & FO:NV. :(

My whole first floor is a trap. Everyone there is level 50, full SPECIAL, has heavy weapons, and they're all double occupancy single rooms. Pretty much all storerooms at this point. No immediate function to fuck up from deathclaws.... who now only make it through the top once, and don't have the chance to backtrack towards the elevator. Raiders never make it out the vault entrance.

Speaking of raiders, they apparently can be looted now; as their corpses linger for about a minute. Seems like what you get is random, but still worth knowing.

Just added to Fallout Shelter

So, the Sranger helps if you just downloaded the game, or if you have a new and relatively small vault. Otherwise, it's like a frustratingly timed game of Where's Waldo (or Wally for my non-US peeps).

You got 5 seconds from the piano plunks to find him and tap on him for a pretty minimal cap gain (again, unless you're near the start of a game... then ANY caps are welcome). Then he vanishes with a jazzy riff. He sort-of appears in the background of rooms, so he can be extremely hard to spot if the room's upgraded and there's shit to hide behind (like med room windows or places that add scenery to the foreground or even actual busy dwellers). He can even stand in elevator shafts, which is how I first noticed him.

So, in a nutshell: if your vault is too big to find him, you really don't need his help. If you can scan your entire vault in a couple seconds, you likely could use the added caps.

Also, in addition to looting raider encounters (first corpse drops a weapon or armor, the rest all turn into a cap bonus), it appears they now only endanger your caps and food, instead of everything. Guess they saved that for deathclaws.

Bethesda will be selling a very limited edition Xbox One controller for the game starting tomorrow at their official online store. Part of a daily series of sales with something limited/exclusive being sold for this week.

For those that care about stuff like this, console versions of the game will run at 30 FPS while the PC version won't have the full game available on disc for the physical version. PC version isn't as hilariously bad as MGS V was but still requires a Steam download to install the rest of the game.

Slick controller.... considering it.

considering canceling or reselling the pip boy edition and just getting the regular with a season pass... still got my galaxy s1... doubt the pip boy will work until i get a new phone in a few months hopefully.

Wondered about the pip boy and all the fuckery about fitting certain models. Thinking about ordering the fook outta this game.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo drunk rn.

I'm making my own once someone shows me how on Pinterest

technically its just a cool phone case with a strap and knobs right? the app can still work, right?

the app is going to work with/without the case. Limited number purchased so others like me can go outside their house and beat down a person who was lucky enough to pre-order one

There's also lights on it. Let's not forget the lights.

Let's also not beat down Hasney when his arrives. It'll smell of France anyway!

eeeeeeeeeeeeeew France!

I'm like 99% I'm canceling on Amazon, getting the reg game/season pass... The pip boy is cool but beyond 10 minutes I don't see myself playing with it... plus my 2011 phone sucks. I think that mini nuke is a cooler prop to have, but I don't PC game..

Pre-ordered. ell yeah

Some current deals going on or within the near future for those that like saving a bit of money:

Pre ordered the beer

any Nuka-Cola for my bunghole? we do not have any TP in Nicaragua

Yeah, I thought that would have been the obvious one. But apparently not!

Nuka-Cola Quantum and/or Sunset Sarsaparilla or GTFO

whoa

is that Dota 2 announcer pack gonna be available stand-alone? I'd imagine so

Get your Dota doodoo outta here!

Bought Wasteland 2 today (fuck you, it's related!). Glad it was also available on disc. If I knew then that there would have been eventual system ports, I would have happily donated to the Inexile Kickstarter.

We know it works. Bethesda can get right on porting Fallout 1 and 2 now. I would totally buy at again.

Well, I did it. I joined the herd of sheeple and I broke down and preordered the damn game... Feel dirty now.

BaaaaAAAAAAaaaaaa! BaaaaAAAAAAaaaaaa! (read: "One of us! One of us!")

So far, I only have one real complaint about Wasteland... the font. Even setting it to max size, it isn't optimized for sitting about 15 feet or so across the living room. It is almost like the first Dead Rising issue on being played on non-HDTVs. Most of the major character dialogue is spoken as well as written, but there are a good portion of NPCs that only operate via text. Also, commands and prompts and everything else. Not so bad if you're playing on a PC or in PC like environment (sitting fairly close to your TV), but a tad taxing from clear across the room.

hey @drave, revisiting this post

in the process of cleaning out my hard drive in anticipation for installing O/S on a fresh SSD, figure I will get all this RAM crap sorted while I do that

can I boot up my machine with no RAM sticks at all inserted? And manually add them in as I go to test?

No.

You can tell right away if the memory is bad though. If your machine has a POST screen that shows the RAM before Windows, it should match what you have in the board.

If not, your machine will either not boot at all or will be slow as fook because of only X of Y sticks working.

Hmm well everything seems to be running fine for the most part. I'll stick with 8gb and see if I need to improve. I went through with the SSD last night so we'll see how that goes

Nah, you can have individual corrupt chips so the computer will see all your RAM, but BSOD now and again. SOURCE: Happened to me :(

Run this shit instead: http://www.memtest.org/#downiso

But if shits running, keep it going. 8GB is fiiiiinnneee for games right now.
