Man, who the hell wants an unfuckable follower/companion?

Rather have the +25% damage solo perk.

I like your style! Could you write a review/description in this style of games that are loved and loathed by the codex?

I think it's an AI programmed by BLOBERT

Why can't we have nice UIs where you can drag and buy and sell within seconds. Consoles ruin everything

Short impressions so far (on PC Game Pass) playing on hard:

Encountered one showstopping graphical bug so far, stuttering occurring after companion joining party; fixed upon reloading though

Time to time the game automatically saves, maybe timed, maybe location based or as often as XP is earned

Stealth works as expected, can use foliage to hide, and sounds (walking) do alert nearby enemies (can be seen by their threat indicator filling up, then turning red for hostility), do companions trigger alarm? I dunno, they don't get in the way;
enemies on paths move around on set waypoints making stealth possible in these cases

Time dilation works pretty well with melee too imo

A lot of loots, so much loot

The graphics are notable that there are little pop-ins; day-night cycle seems to be 25-30 min

Quests feature different ways to resolve via frontal assault, stealth, etc. Pretty standard fare, with everyone basically requesting for help but masking this a bit better through subtle writing

Turing off waypoints (just visible on the compass and map) seems like good compromise between exploration and completing objectives

The facial expression I have no problem with, looks natural enough to me. The specular glint on eyes are gone, little disppoint there. The left ear flare syndrome is present and distracting.

So far, so good. Cainarsky still represent.

Guard started freaking out and attacking a critter.
Yep, it's an Obsidian game.

The Codex version works fine

Vicar Max is based af. Best companion.

Journal seems to give you a little idea of some trivial stuff if you chose to turn off the HUD but I just got a quest that probably requires you to look in an open area and that would be hard without waypoints. Also, I don't like the way that quests are in subcategories it really takes out a lot of the mystery when you decide to take a certain quest.
Now I know that someone is a potential companion since the quest he gave me is marked as a "Companion Quest" in the Journal.

 

[Roguey]

Genuinely curious, did people get mad because the only female companion in Fallout had a green mohawk?

No, because being a punk rocker made sense for her character and the setting (a Wasteland/Mad Max homage).

 

[Darkwind]

According to the Codex nfo, game lacks any type of protection. This is actually... kinda nice.

Almost makes you want to, you know, buy it... and support companies which don't add useless DRM, innit?

 

[Immortal]

This game looks pretty shit.. TBH

 

[Darkwind]

it's so weird how everyone in video games happen to have mental disorders that affect .1% of the population but ok

Yes and 1/2 of the population is black, and white men are fumbling buffoons and black men are all rocket scientists if you watch TV. So now games (((media))) has simply followed suit w/ the poison that has been pouring out of TV and movies for a good while now. #1 reason to pirate this game IMHO, this only stops when you monetarily punish the globohomo agenda pushers. They will never stop otherwise.

 

[SkiNNyBane]

Im enjoying the game so far. 1$ well spent

Awesome met my first lesbian somebody called Mercer..used intimidation ..she attacked some marauders and she instantly got shot and died..incline right there.

Graphics are fairly horrific looking..still getting used to that.

Wait! there's seriously no pickpocketing?!

You need to invest into your sneak skill to unlock pickpocket.

edit: need 40 points into sneak to unlock.

Oh great, I still don't like the fact that I have to put my points in one category to have it upgraded.

I will protect her with my life Ms. Indumati

Manage to persuade the two soldiers to fight the bandit outside the ship, and they get slaughtered by just one bandit while I killed the other two.

No wonder they are just waiting there in the first place.

I need more time to think about how i feel tbh. On the plus side make sense that if you good in ranged weapons , you would know a little bit about heavy , long and hand guns but perhaps 50 points is too much just to be able to spec in one , maybe 30 points? 40? Also it's made with the idea that people not know what exctally they want in start of the game, so you can invest in something more broad then spec, because you already played enough to get the feeling and know what you want.

They don't want you to go invest in something totally blind but without being dumb down , or at least what's supposed to be. Need to play more.

 

[Urthor]

Feels a bit like a mod, there are very few NPCs and the game is really pretty small.

They weren't kidding in saying it'd be short, the areas are *small*

 

[Alexios]

Looks incredibly bad.

Murdered her and the other grunt and this guy shows up:

Spoiler

A nice bit of reactivity unless that happens every time you exit the ship.
