Man, I fought against the School of Witchcraft Savage DeathClaw in Full power armor and he took off a quarter of my health each hit, that was on normal too so it is entirely possible
I was in heavy combat armor on normal and two Deathclaws had me against a tree, 7 hits from both later and I wasn't even at half HP. I then proceeded to kill them with Grognak's axe. They're too weak if you ask me, still struggled with the Quarry at max level on NV. Sentry bot and Mirelurks have been more of a threat to me than them.

Nah, man. I was randomly walking through the Wasteland, decided to search a ******* warehouse, can't remember the name. Get into the back, ******* radioactive barrels stacked 4 high, 8 deep. Instantly get like 50 rads/sec, crap my pants. Pop Radaway and Like 10 RadX, and my rads/sec dropped down to >1/sec. Needless to say, I made a suit of T-45 Power Armor that's all been Lead lined, cause **** radiation.
i just think people dont like others complaining about something that doesnt really matter. Like you rarely see comments about how great the game is. its always graphics or bugs, even though the game is better than most regardless of your perspective.
So I dont think they cant handle the truth, its just annoying.
Except great RPG elements. And story. And optimization. Animations are kind of clunky. Lipsync is subpar. Dialogue is both cliche and overdramatic.

I know, read my comment in context. we know the graphics are sub par.
And we gladly accept the trade. Bad graphics and plenty of small bugs for great everything else
What is this "great everything else?"
Also chuckled at "small bugs" - just yesterday I had 1 pretty big and 2-3 moderate bugs. That was in about 6 hours of playing.
the great everything else one of those opinion things that keeps annoying some people.
And I actually can't speak for PC, but I have almost 3 days on xbox one and I haven't had any significant problem with bugs
Well, no, I think objectively most pretty much agree it's a long shot from perfect.
What it is, however, is a game where i already spent 100+ hours enjoying the **** out of it.
that may be simply my personal opinion, but i've not had a single game come out in 2015 that had me hooked like Fallout 4 has.
Ive played about 40h and i havent really noticed any bugs. Other than floating objects and having trouble naming my gear because i keep pressing wrong bumber canceling the text box then trying again with the text box not showing up.
There was one game crash on the ps4 very early in the game, but so was in mgs and bloodborne for me.
The only bugs I've seen were dead bodies getting stuck in the ground and enemies sometimes spawning inside walls. Nothing major and I'm over 25 hours in.
if the graphics were any better there would be psycho's in the street drinking nuka cola and playing on their pip boys cuz you couldn't differentiate game between reality. the game is just way to big and massively awesome to expand graphics any further in our day and age...
*sigh* everyone knows the graphics are sub-par but they've made soo many textures and models, id much rather have them make many non-HQ textures than recycle a few HQ textures as pretty much every graphics intense game has to do because creating them takes forever.
It allows for more diverse environments rather than having all places of the map look near identical.
All textures are created at high res, making them is not hard at all, we have computers to generate these things.
Bethesda, like every other game developer in the world, has created their game with high res textures, and then downsampled them to fit within a budget. I can see the compression artefacts on the texturing
The problem is, they've targeted consoles, and set the budget appropriately for that. leaving PCs with subpar graphics. it wouldn't cost them anything to release a high res texture pack for the game, they already have the assets made and sitting on their office server
they've decided to "Leave it to the modding community", makes me wonder if Bethesda is getting lazier and forgetting that people only mod when the game is good to begin with.
If you draw scribbles all over a low res texture, it does not magically become high quality. All you have is a low res texture with scribbles on it.
You can't make high res textures unless you get the files from bethesda, or you remake them yourself.
Upscaling things in photoshop does not work, downscaling is a destructive operation and the quality is permanantly lost, you can't get it back. if you tried that you'll just end up with a big, blurry texture
and stop thumbing me down you idiots, I'm right. If you want i can go and generate you a 8192x8192 concrete wall texture. It will only take as long as my cpu needs to render it. It will be high res and beautiful with normal mapping. There are tools to do this kind of thing VERY easily, if you just invest a tiny bit of cash. I have, and i know bethesda has.
The textures are low res because they downsampled them to fit in a video memory budget, not for any other reason. They are not hard or time consuming to make
well they did it for skyrim one week after release too www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/607/?, I don't think this game will have an issue with mods, but their future titles may have issues attracting modders if the game is as sub par as half the website is making it out to be. I haven't gotten it yet, waiting until the end of the semester
Those are largely remade textures designed to roughly resemble the original. I've used that mod. It's imperfect, and it does change the look of the world significantly, in terms of colour, tones, patterns etc.
That brings you to a developer testing room which is covered in high res textures. Proving, beyond a doubt, that bethesda ******* MADE THEM ALREADY, and just downsampled all the playable areas for consoles
I'm almost level 30, and I have over 150 Stimpaks. (I restarted to before I chose a faction so I can be friends with them all, so that's why I'm so low)
Only? I have like 230 or something, cooking is so overpowered and food is plentiful, so I just save those stims for a rainy day. A day when Deathclaws rain from the sky.
I eat foods because they don't scale, so when I'm at 400 HP or some **** , stimpaks will start mattering, instead giving the same benefit of squirrel bits.
400 HP is pretty far away. You're going to need max Endurance and Life Giver. (unless you want to take advantage of the lack of level cap, and get to level 100+)
Ya, walked into a pack of three of them. When I wasn't killed by them, my game would crash, took me several tries just to finally scrape by. They are pretty much all over the sw part of the map. Though, as a tip, they are pretty slow and have poor mapping around heavy terrain. Best to outrun them when possible.

I went there yesterday with my newly made Level 8 Hulk Hogan to get the Power Fist. So I used the Infinite Caps glitch to buy Big Boy, which he survived 2 ******* shots from
SO HE GOT SLAMMED BY THE HULKSTERS FISTS OF FREEDOM, BROTHER
ARE YOU A REAL AMERICAN?
I beat him to death with the named wrench you get early in the game. that god damn wrench stun-locks larger enemies like nothing. so, in short, I've killed 99% of the bigger threats in the game using power armor and a ******* wrench named big john

So disappointed that fallout has once again failed to make a Unique variant combat knife called KA-BAR that does massive damage to animals (like yao guai).
Real story of the KA-BAR, via user testimonial :This particular fur trapper's testimonial turned out to be one of the most significant ever received by the Company. He wrote, in very rough English, that his gun had jammed and that he had therefore relied on his knife to kill a wounded bear that was attacking him. In thanking the company for their quality product, the trapper described using his knife to "kill a bar." The way his writing was scrawled across the paper it looked like "ka bar.
I like this. I found one that does more sneak damage. Now my character is a complete Recon Green Barret bad ass. I use the combat knife, combat rifle and Hunting rifle. fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Combat_knife_%28Fallout_4%29
They didn't do that for the exact same reason there are no M-16's in New Vegas even though they did a very similar copy: KA-BAR is trademarked and they'd have to pay for permission to use the name.
Easier to just make a very similar model to it and just name it something generic.
