Far Harbor is excellent so far. The new Radium rifles sound soooooooooooooooooooo fucking awesome when they are firing.
The new enemies are fucking tough too. I have the difficulty cranked up which might be why, but I have been one-shotted a few different times. The fog gives a nice touch too, and truly does make it harder to target and/or see incoming enemies. Just made it to Acadia and met DiMA. Already loving the entire premise of the DLC main story so far. Not getting into it for those who haven't played yet, but it is done insanely well. Movement feels faster too. I noticed that frames seem to be smoother at the same time. Not sure if there was a "performance" patch or w/e but after I installed Far Harbor, there was another 550MB update for something. I have noticed that I walk/sprint much faster now. |

Went through a lot of this over the weekend. Pretty hard with all of the water around using Power Armor.

Dude, unless you are in deep fog it is < 1 rad.
If you are on survival, that is also acceptable :P |

There is like two sets of T-51 that are painted up with Vim colors. Need to find at least one set of that before I run off to do more main questing.
OH! Made a Legendary Mirelurk Queen into my lunch last night. Thank god Nick was distracting her with his boat hook. |

Sweet.
Just had fun with the nuke launch codes & the children of atom last night. Found a double projectile .44 that hits like a fucking truck. Also managed to get a full Marine Recon suit (two now). Tempted to put points into melee just to be a ninja. |

Indeed. It'd be a helluva time playing in VR. FO4 is good at "setting the tone" in environments. That and the baddies of Far Harbor are fucking sneaky AND smart.
I learned the hard way that gulpers sleep in trees, damnit. Also, anglers like to attack in packs and flank, a lot. |

Well it's 800 bucks and requires a pretty powerful setup, so good luck with that.

While PC and Xbox One have had the feature for a while, mod support for the PS4 has been delayed indefinitely according to Bethesda.

So the "no level cap" line is a massive load of bullshit...you can level as far as 65,535, but if you level up again after that, the game breaks/freezes as this resets the level counter to 0.
Ah, technology...you're so hilarious. |

So, you're saying "65,536" is the new "256"?

It seems so, but why anybody would play that much is beyond me. I think with Nuka-World and Far Harbor both installed, you need to hit around level 292 for all 10/11 S.P.E.C.I.A.L. and Perk points to be maxed, otherwise with one add-on it's 285, and 278 without either. Info from Nukapedia, The Fallout Wiki.

Have you played Fallout: New Vegas, Swiss or is it on your radar of games to play? It too is quite fun, although the collectibles are snowglobes and not bobbleheads and I believe there's only 7, like one for Strength, Perception, Endurance etc. |

Fallout 3 is my favorite. I have the Game Of The Year edition and the addons are great. Fallout: New Vegas is good for what it is. I have never played it all the way through, tho. I just couldnt stay into it long enough. |

I feel differently; that New Vegas was better.
However, I can kinda see where that disconnect lies. With 3 being situated in such a way to try to start to establish their own lore on the East Coast, New Vegas seems like a bit of a disconnect for the influx of fans brought in by 3 that weren't there for the first two games. And although I think you meant "bugs are what makes it a Bethesda game", I can't really correct that since the predecessors weren't without fault. It's just their faults were generally more dialoge-centric (unflagged options, dialogue loops, etc.,) and less graphical "npcs falling off the world" stuff. That aside, both are worth playing through. Of course, I'm a huge fan of the series as a whole. |

Gonna have to agree with that. For example, I love me some Nick, but Cass is my favorite ever, even without the callback elements.

I enjoyed both 3 and New Vegas, but NV's story just didn't draw me in. It seemed like the overall arc was basically "You get to decide who's stuck babysitting New Vegas -- unless you make it -- *GASP* -- go independent.".
With 3, the story was never really in doubt...you got to purify the water supply in and around the Capital Wasteland, all while deciding who's worthy of living and who isn't. Also, Galaxy News Radio, Three Dog (voiced BRILLIANTLY by Erik Todd Dellums), and that station's songs just really made the mood for me and I'm glad they brought back some of those great familiar songs as part of the soundtrack in 4. |

The music is brilliant. I would have to physically stop playing every time "Crazy He Calls Me" came on.
Also, the inclusion of "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire" and "Maybe" always made me mark out because of the story behind them (Interplay wanted the former to be the theme song for the first game, but the request was denied. They got permission to use "Maybe" instead.) Would have been nice to include the Louis Armstrong joint from 2 at some point, though, especially with the splash 4 made, I'm sure they could afford to pony up for the rights. |

There's so many other good songs in 3 too..."Let's Go Sunning", "Butcher Pete (Part 1)","Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall", "Civilization (Bongo, Bongo, Bongo)"... it's like I was turned on to a whole new generation of music from the 1930s & '40s.
Of course, one of my main disappointments with 3's soundtrack was the cliffhanger at the end of Butcher Pete ("Say, turn this record over, you ain't heard NOTHIN' yet!"), but in 4, I was happy to discover they have the full song...interesting aside, apparently the "meat" that Pete supposedly loved so much was sexual in nature, referring to the womens' lady parts. So remember: Don't feed the yao guai, because war...war never changes. |

I was sort of disappointed in not including part 2, but it made sense in context that it could feisably be "lost" and a lot of the same songs being available in 3, NV, and 4 could be ones that were some of the most plentiful recordings before the bombs fell.
It wouldn't surprise me that if in a future installment, you find out that there is some sort of underground market for rarer songs. But it isn't a post-apocalyptic commodity that is nearly as prevalent as chems or slaves. |

No, but it in no way surprises me. It's a cash cow franchise, now. Just hope they pump the brakes with the changes, and at least make a return with the karma. That's a backbone of the franchise. Work more on the usual suspect engine problems and write some better, more consistent dialogue.
Or at the very least, surprise everyone by actually having a sequel to New Vegas. Also, hopefully, it won't drop around the same time as Wasteland 3. I didn't get to spend the quality time I wanted with 2 before Fallout came out, and now I am at the point where I kinda want to start over to get back into the swing of things, but I don't want to write off the work I put in. |

The Karma system would need some serious tweaking before I would want it back...there never seemed to be any gray areas, just everything along "Water good, fire bad" logic.
