This game…
I love it. I love how true it is to the (Bethesda, et al) spirit of the Fallout series. I love the humour, the clever touches, the obvious love with which it was crafted.
But holy fuck, the bugs. The bugs, the bugs, the fucking quest-breaking BUGS!!!
Also, the “FO4 too easy? We’re going to make this incomprehensible” attitude.
Let’s consider companions. First companion was Churchill, followed shortly by Archie then Arthur. I was travelling with Arthur when I finished Archie’s questline, and then shortly after, I finished Arthur’s as well. Then Arthur swapped his massive gun for melee, so I dumped him.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t re-join with Archie. After every interaction, he goes into an unclickable merchant menu, and you can’t get him to join you no matter what.
Back to Arthur then. I sent him to Biggs Airport, and…he’s not there! FUCK!
Kiera? As soon as I didn’t sign on, she went to a location I can’t yet reach!
Fine, I’ll solo it. Except that the Roundels are stuck in the basement of the bar, which breaks THREE SEPARATE QUESTS!
We’ll see if 1.02 fixes any of this shit, but I honestly can’t play anymore. Everything - EVERYTHING - in the game is broken for me now.
I gave up on it for now when the questline involving the NPC learning to write broke, and then I started crashing to desktop (without any logs anywhere, either in the Buffout directory or even in Windows’ Event Viewer) every time I left the Swan or fast traveled directly to it, even though traveling to another point literally fifty feet south worked just fine. And since there’s no logs describing the crash, I have no idea how to fix it.
I could probably fix it by uninstalling and re-downloading it again, but I have a goddamn data cap that my roommate already blows through every month with the fucking massive updates Fallout 76 has taken to pushing out, I have zero desire to download 60 GB of data (30 GB base game + 30 GB FOLON) every fucking time I sneeze wrong and make the game start crashing again. =|
regarding the large download, there is a girl which is very fit and likes compression a lot which reduced the total download size to 38 gb, if that helps. also, you can reinstall from that as often as you like without redownloading.
