I haven't tried the Laser turrets yet but they are on my bucket list. I just got a never before seen error and failed Work Unit on my Folding client so if Stanford isn't going to play nice I am going to take all of my toys and play some Fallout 4 until they learn some manners!

I'm going to try that missile launcher turret also. We'll see how much bang for the cap I get out of that. Combined with lasers it should be a great light show.
 
Treat Stanford like a Fallout 4 baddie. LOL
 
 

I saw a video on YouTube where the guy made a three tier building with different turrets on each floor. I'm gonna give that a try some time soon just for kicks. I am Folding on my secondary board right now without any problems yet. Nothing in my Action Center but 9 errors in my Event Viewer that I'd never seen before. The only references I can find about these types of errors only apply to Linux so I am baffled at the moment. I think it was Stanford's servers that caused the Event ID 13 errors. I had Afterburner open and the drivers didn't TDR. The Core Clock just dropped to idle and that was the end of that Work Unit. I did change my PhysX to CPU instead of Auto-Select in case something I was doing somehow taxed the folding video board in some way.

I was doing some exploring and ran across the super mutant big boy. The Beometh (spelling). So I engaged it with my missile launcher and it engaged me with rocks. Huge rocks! And what I saw was that the rocks it was throwing must be guided because I would move after they were thrown and they followed me.

Wow! Enhanced targeting-assisted rocks. What a concept! I know which Behemoth you're talking about. I was in a BOS helicopter gunship and made little work of him with a chaingun. I would hate to have run into him on the ground with or without a companion.

Go figure, right. I got lucky with that situation. I was in a position that it couldn't climb and my legs can move quickly if needed. LOL Besides it was down at the river with very little wiggle room so I couldn't pass up the opportunity. With the exception of those "guided" rocks, I was in a good spot. And to the victor went the spoils. LOL

I'm going to try some weapons mods by taking some of the specialty items off of some of my Legendary Weapons if possible. I am still disappointed with the Alien Blaster which seems a lot less effective than what it was in Fallout 3.

 
Have you tried any armor mods yet? I tried some and found out that in this case I could not stack the mods. A little tip: SAVE your game before you attempt the mod. If it fails you will lose your item resources and for me some of the resources are used in other building of certain settlement projects.

Well, it's official. I am selling most of my low budget, self-powered, lead launching turrets and replacing the majority with the heavy laser variety.
 
This is too funny. I installed a couple of heavy lasers alongside the low budget lead launchers at a settlement. Time passed and I dropped in to check things out and I noticed in the distance there were 3 Super Mutants running across the field. Why not I thought and took a couple of shots at them and got their attention. In true Cavalry form they charged the settlement. I could of sworn that I heard a bugle. What I didn't know was one of them was a suicide bomber. Now here is the good part. The bomber was doing a full charge while his 2 companions moved slower. The turrets concentrated on the bomber as he was the closest. It stopped the bomber in his tracks like he hit a brick wall. Then every time a beam hit it the bomber staggered backward. Then it blew up. After seeing that light show I thought Merry Christmas and a Happy 4th of July. LOL
 
Whoever put that kind of time in the programming did a hell of a job.
 
Tip:
Keep tabs on the energy that is being used. If it exceeds that of the output of the generators the citizens move to unhappy very fast.
 
Tip:
Keep an eye on the junk drawer at the station. There was a little over 2000 caps in there that wasn't there before. I do have the mega stores in a couple of settlements that do have an above average population.

How demanding is Fallout 4?
Very or not so.

OK, thanks, and how much video memory?

Nm, wrong game . lol

Well, 270 hours in and I still haven't finished the story or explored everything lol. The game looks great (the lighting/weather effects really make a huge difference imo) and obviously I'm enjoying it. There's just some features I feel that would have made this perfect to me:

• Custom Ammo (like in New Vegas)
• Saving the high end armor/weapons until a later part of the game so you felt like you've "earned" them by then instead of just shoving them in your face and saying "oh by the way...fusion cores!" 
• Yes, I actually do miss the repair skill/option on weapons and all armor. It made you give them that extra bit of attention (although I can see how annoying that could be to some). I also miss using skill points wherever I saw fit alongside perks. I guess it just felt as though dispersing skill points gave me more control over how I wanted to develop my character across different areas at one time rather than choosing just one perk, in one skill area, at a specified character level.    
• Lastly, unless I'm missing something, I feel the speech checks should change their color coordination based on your current success of passing them. In the previous games you knew exactly if you were going to pass these checks or not, but in this one even a character with "only" 10 charisma can still fail these checks leaving you wondering what exactly does it take?

Alright, I think at this point I'm just going to charge through the story line and come back to finish it all up later because I have Just Cause 3 loaded and waiting for me since it released. Not to mention I haven't really even touched Anno 2205 since it released either all thanks to this game haha. 
 
 
 

These are reasons why I'm waiting till Obsidian releases a Fallout game and one ups BethSoft again. I always preferred NV over Fo3 cause it felt a bit more right. I guess that's the proper term to use. Plus from watching Twitch streams of the game and hearing\reading on websites like here issues with Fo4 I can't see myself justifying the 60 dollar price tag plus the 30 dollar charge for the season pass. I just can't afford blowing money on a game that might not really give me the fun I expect.

If anyone rushes through this game and just does the main story, that's a lot of material and money blown.
 

 
This is what I don't understand and can only chalk it up to being bored when gamers rush through a huge game like this. When I spend money like I did for Fallout 4 I'll take my time and enjoy it... all of it. Take that same 60.00 that was paid for the game and spend it on other things of entertainment value and see how long that lasts. A lot of bang for the Cap here.

Some people are compulsive min/maxers that are incapable of enjoying any game. One would wonder why they'd buy any sandbox game at all though if that was their playing style. Sandbox games are meant to be wandered around in and explored in an organic, non-linear manner.

 And let's not forget enjoyed.
 
While not all of these "compulsive min/maxers" do this but I do believe they do complain a lot about the game(s) because of it.

Anyone doing any Fall Out 4 mods yet? If so, which ones?

I did some Power Armor mods including giving myself a 'flames' paint job and a jetpack. I just gave Cait/Fiona a jetpack for her Power Armor so she can follow me onto roofs if she can ever figure out how to use it.

You gave Cait a jet pack after you threatened to leave her??? Can you say Dog Fight? LOL

I never threatened to leave her I was just thinking about it so I could do the side quest with Piper, that's all. I hope you meant catfight, right? You wouldn't be calling my babe a dog, would you because she got game and she'll whoop your butt if she hears you talking about her like that! LOL

I'm reposting a link to my other thread here in case any of you have ideas. And, because there are more people here who visit this part of the forum, and my subject shares both. Thanks.
