Going back into the Wasteland again, and it's still a mes...
a year ago
General
I swore that I was never going to go back into Fallout 4 after having my save corrupted after spending way too much time building up my settlements and pimping out my power armor that I had a 2 story garage with customized suits I was never gonna use. But I finally caved in and started watching the Fallout show on Prime and was very surprised at how good it was.
So I tried to give 76 a shot since I got a free copy with PSN. Fun, but crashed slot because of bad internet connection so I decided not to put any time or money into it. Tried to stream New Vegas via something called Luna but I'd rather play on my PC copy. Love 3 and NV but it is hard going back to deteriorating armor and weapons after getting spoiled by 4. Kinda like how hard it is to go back to Oblivion after Skyrim.
Tried 4 on Steam but encountered some glitch where I can't see text descriptions for actions like "press x to modify" or "press y to transfer items. I just get a blank box with no text and I don't know if it is because one of the mods from creation club or something else. I still have my PS4 copy which thankfully got a free upgrade to PS5 so I decided to start a new game there and try and focus on doing missions and stories instead of tinkering.
And after getting gangbanged by a horde of ghouls, scared shitless by a Death Claw in a hospital basement, fast traveling to a vendor just as a super mutant decides to spike his mini nuke to kill a feral dog, and getting blasted to bits by a wandering group of rouge robots while trying to chat with a merchant I decided that maybe I should grind some more. I almost called it quits when I was trying to sneak on an enemy, go into VATS, use a sniper rifle with the crit bonus. Dogmeat decides to walk under me, suddenly I'm 300 feet in the air, take the shot and blow the guys head off, but then fall to my death...
And this was supposed to be the 'upgraded' version? I'm curious about trying that other game similar to Fallout that was made by the New Vegas crew. Outer Worlds I think it was called? Either way I'm still having a good time despite it's glitches. Kinda funny talking to someone and all of a sudden I see the flash of a mini nuke go off and find out a Super Mutant killed himself and his two partners trying to kill a mole rat.
Do you have any silly or interesting moments in the Fallout universe? Which ones are your favorites? Any tips or suggestions for those stepping in for the first time or going back in after a long time? I am personally on a quest to find the Big Boy, a Fat Man that launches 2 mini nukes for the price of one. Rumor has it that if you can get it the MIRV upgrade it can launch 12 mini nukes at once. I am so going to get my revenge on those Death Claws once I get my hands on one. I won't be the only one getting fat man facials now.

FA+

I mostly play in survival mode, makes it a horror game hearing super mutants sneak about
*no it don't.
Now that I'm actually trying to do the story I found out I have so many .38 ammo for pipe guns that I rarely use that I save it as an alternate currency.
I use the 10mm specifically, buy ammo from the old lady living over the hill from the police supply depot (100-250 rounds at a time) and have as many water purifiers at Sanctuary as I can build, stuff is liquid gold. There is a lot I don't know about F4 but heck, its just a time eater game anyway. I donno, let me check...2,476.6 hours playing about eleven characters so far. Like you I use the extra ammo I find as trading funds, I'm running with a little over 7,000 10mm rounds at the moment and my 10mm is maxed out with a radiation perk, extra 10 points damage per round.
I try to do one quest and accidentally start 3 others...
