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.

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.

How demanding is Fallout 4?
Very or not so.

I don't think it's demanding at all. My frame rate is capped at 72 FPS by the game and I can only disable the frame limiter through the game's config file. There is no need for me to use SLI. All settings are maxed at 1920x1080 144 Hz and never dip below 72 FPS for me on a single board.

OK, thanks, and how much video memory?

Sorry for the delay but having 4 GB of VRAM at my disposal, this is one thing that I never bothered monitoring before. I just played a few minutes and on the OSD my Memory usage averaged 1600 MB and peaked around 2042 MB. All graphics settings are as high as they can go for me. The Memory usage might go higher but with the 4 GB available using a GTX-980 I don't see any problems with maxing out your VRAM. Good luck, Vlada011. This is a pretty fun game for me once I got used to the interaction and the pace of the game. I have a lot of things left to do and many area left to explore and I already have 4 days of gameplay according to the ingame stats.

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)
• Legendary weapons...really? Borderlands anyone? Why not put awesome weapons at the end of awesome quests or really hard to pick/hack locks/terminals like the previous 2 games? This random "mutated" legendary stuff I was really surprised by seeing in a Fallout game, and not really a good surprised either considering there's nothing but the same ammo/chems/pipe weapon in every container no matter the lock pick/hack skill required. 
• 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.

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
