I think the crits always hit too, so you could use it to take down an enemy at range if your accuracy is low. You sort of tap it while you're in the motion of firing.
Good point as my one hit kills were from fairly close range. I assume there is no limit to range when it comes to critical hits and it will be nice to have in the pocket when i need it most.

So basically it's not a game score, it's retard-o-meter.
.
Lol. It feels like that sometimes.

Only spent a few hours on it last night (got dog, rescued settlers, got back to Sanctuary) but finding it great and pretty similar to Fallout 3. Quite difficult in places but at low level I expect that.

Tonight I have to work out how to build things and create a settlement, looking forward to it

Although I like the idea of a dog following me about, I didn't want to waste any of my stimpacks every time he gets injured, so told him to stay where it's safe.
Eh? Does the dog getting hurt result in the player getting hurt?

If not don't worry about it: Dogmeat can't die.

No but the dog can get injured then you get a message on screen telling you to use a stimpack to heal it.

For now on the Xbox one/ps4 consoles, that honour goes to the Witcher 3. I can't see Fallout 4 surpassing it.
Really? I hated Witcher 3

Put quite a few hours in so far. Only had a few hiccups such as a major frame drop at the Museum and then a deathclaw spawning under the map and annihilating me.

As a Fallout veteran I'm really enjoying it, not sure what all the hate is about tbh.

One problem I do have though is inventory space. Like in FO3 and NV, if you had multiple weapons you could repair them all into 1 and it'd clear some space, is that option not available here, or am I missing something?

I didn't like witcher 3 either, I didn't like the controls and little things like the speed he ran, I found myself missing gates into houses. Never put much time in it in the end.

Loving this though, feels like Fallout 3 too which is great as I preferred that to NV.

As for items, you can store junk in your crafting table and I built a couple of floor safes next to the crafting table to store weapons, armour etc. I just go back every now and then to drop it all off until I get access to stores to sell all my weapons.

Very pissed at Amazon, got an email saying "Order out for delivery" this morning, advising me to stay in throughout the day as the postman could come at literally any time, but alas, the game was a no show.
Exactly the same here, had an email this morning informing me that my package has now been delayed in transit!

There's no weapon degradation now. The best thing to do with weapons is to scrap them at a weapons workbench. If you have the 'scrapper' perk (you'll need at least 5 intelligence), you'll get rare metals/ materials from them too, like copper, which is really hard to get, and is invaluable if you want to power your settlements. If you're not bothered about settlements, just sell them, but remove any mods you might want first.

WItcher 3 was amazing. Its better than Fallout 4 in pretty much every aspect and completely blows its out of the water when it comes to characters, quests, story and graphics. I don't think that is because fallout is bad (its not), but because the Witcher 3 was exceptionally good. Easily the best game of this generation.

Personally, I didn't find the scenery in the Witcher 3 to be as impressive as in Fallout 4, and the game just didn't grab me. I didn't like the combat either, but really like it in Fallout with VATS.

Did a mission the other day where I was running around like a detective in a trench coat, looking for clues on where someone was, and running through the wasteland in broad daylight just looked spectacular. The sense of scale is really immense in this game.

The character models in 3rd person and in cutscenes look brilliant too, especially when you consider how many millions of combinations of character design, and weapons and armor you could be wearing, and I'm sure we'll see some pretty epic settlement building online once it's been out a bit longer.

Graphically and story-wise (so far at least), Witcher 3 runs circles around this. But both games have less than perfect combat. I am enjoying the world of F4 a lot though, and like Skyrim it gets more fun the the longer you go on for.

Witcher 3 didn't grab my attention, but I can acknowledge it's a well made game, personally for me Fallout 4 is better, that's just my preference though.

Agreed. Fallout's already blown me away several times. I never got that sense of awe with The Witcher 3.

If you still have Witcher, it might be worth trying again after the numerous patches. There was 1 patch that was 17GB!! Nuts, but the movement got much better, and the item menu has been improved a lot, it wasn't very console friendly in it's original state.

With Witcher, it seems to be the conclusion of the Bloody Baron story that gets people into it, so if you didn't get that far I would recommend giving it another go.

Yes and the colour of the sky and lightning was fantastic.

My wife has taken pity on me and given me my Fallout 4 early! But the first thing it tells me is that it needs a 500 Meg update! WTF, let's hope we're not going down the Destiny route here.....

This is a pretty small day one patch by modern game standards.

Got my copy yesterday lunchtime. Although, I've kind of been putting off playing it to increase the anticipation.
IF YOU FIND A TEDDY BEAR IN FALLOUT 4,
DROP IT ON THE GROUND, CLICK ON DOGMEAT, AND TELL HIM TO PICK IT UP

SO ****ING ADORABLE.

Luckily my first was in the City. Strange being the only person frantically trying to find cover while everybody is casual

Had my first major glitch stuck in an elevator which didn't move. Had to reload the whole game. Not too shabby after a few days and this being a Bethesda game.

Starting to enjoy it a bit more now. I don't know if it was patched overnight or anything but it seems to be running a lot smoother today so that helps.

I still haven't got a clue what i'm doing with all the workstations but I think i'm about to do the settlement tutorial thing so hopefully it'll all make sense soon.

Really want to get rid of the dog though!! It's constant panting and pattering gets on my nerves!

You can dismiss anyone following you by just talking to them and clicking through the options.
