this engine also has mouse lag and acceleration tied to vsync.

Nice to know that Bethesda really cares about the PC audience :^)

It's 2015.

there is nothing to fix. as long as you dont turn off vsync by hacking the config files, your game will run at the intended speed.

*shrug* not a real issue. at least for me the mouse is working fine....
but yes. its an awkward limitation of the engine.

[miauw62]

Gamebyro is pretty old, so it could be pretty hard to fix, so Beth might have made the reasonable decision not to expensively rewrite their engine for a bug that only affects a fraction of players, which seems reasonable to me.

Then again, it IS 2015, which is imo also a pretty reasonable argument.

I would like to note that my tone is probably due to me being pretty angry and stressed for most of today, so sorry if I came off as rude, the dumb comments on that video just set me off.

Slight Armour spoilers for early game.

Was anyone surprised at how quickly you get power armour? Seems like I've barely got a chance to combine all the basic armour options and BAM! Here's a big suit of armour a few hours into the game. Am I missing something here? I know it's a big ol rust bucket to begin with, but I figured I'd be getting a set of leather before a full suit of badass power armour.
Is there an advantage to using the more basic types of armour?

limited battery power and maneuverability?

Is is really limited ?
I mean, from the previous video (haven't played myself), I just saw someone in power armor jump from a building and melee a Deathclaw with a pool cue :/

[umiman]

It's limited by fusion cores and kinda only lasts like... 10 minutes? On full charge.

10 minutes? Ah shoot. Do I get a wagon to carry around my useless armour between encounters? 

[umiman]

Dunno. I haven't gotten too far. I have two sets of it but they sit in Sanctuary most of the time.

I only took one out to shitwreck a bandit encampment that had a minigun boss.

[SOLDIER First]

You'll probably want that perk that increases core use time, then.
Is Power Armor upgrading modular like regular armor is?

[Sergius]

I only have 4GB of system memory (old-ass mobo) so I wasn't expecting to be able to run this at all, but it goes pretty well.

This gives me hope.
I'm getting a new rig in December, but maybe I can still squeeze some juice out of my current core2duo.
I just hope a 9800GTM can run the game at all.

Cores for power armor are classed as ammo with 0 weight, and if you have more than one it automatically slots in a new one when your current core runs dry. There's also a bobblehead which gives 10% longer core duration; if anyone wants the location, PM me.

That said, the main disadvantage aside from limited lifespan is the low speed/maneuverability, especially since you drain cores /much/ faster while sprinting. Pretty much the only way to have power armor for a lot of encounters is to set up bases all over the map and stock them with suits.

On an unrelated note, the legendary drops are pretty sweet (and the enemies are Q.Q). Here's a list of the special effects I've encountered thusfar:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Weapons:
+50% Damage to Humans/Robots (ranged)
+Large chunk of Radiation damage (melee)
+50% limb damage (melee)

Armor:
+Large chunk of poison resistance
+20% (I think? might have been 10%) decreased AP usage in VATS

I also found a unique laser weapon at the end of a long, irritating, difficult questline with no real reward until you kill the NPC at the end. Does more damage the lower your health is, pretty nifty.

Yeah. I've found a Legendary Radroach. That's one thing I wasn't expecting, for sure.

Have you gotten a legendary sentrybot yet? FUCKING. TERRIFYING. I ran into it at night and it lit everything up in something like a 20m radius.

[Graknorke]

I encountered a boomer.

Turns out the bastards lob mininukes.

Are you talking Vault 34 Boomers or something else?
