[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;49883088]Alternatively you can keep your draw distance at max and just drop shadow distance to medium and godrays to low (considering they're broken anyway) and keep a steady 60 everywhere except the city.[/QUOTE]
I can't stand shadows on medium. It honestly makes the game look fullbright in certain areas because Bethesda still hasn't discovered a way to do low detail/distance shadows.
What is annoying is having shadows set higher is perfectly fine for most areas of the game. But the moment you go downtown it's asking for framerate suicide. But yet nothing throws off the atmosphere of the city more than a building one block down from you glowing under the sun instead of being darkened by the shadows from the buildings surrounding it.
My god when I found Hunting in the Wastes I fucking died for a good few minutes.
Just look at that retarded deer.
Also man Nick's a cool character but his quest is just such a massive PITA
"Collect these random tapes that are scattered across the entire game world. Yay!"
It is quest design like that which makes me groan at the thought of not being able to fast travel in the upcoming survival mode.
One of the biggest things I hated from the jump to Oblivion from Morrowind is that they designed -every- quest to pretty much require you to fast travel constantly due to the distances they would put between objectives, no matter how meaningless they were.

I really think they meant for diamond city to be harder to find, and certainly it's no cake walk, but that might have originally been to help find a good path to it, as there are clearly a lot of bad ways to approach the city
It's a pretty shitty thing to get from a magazine but having a map marker on the map to head right for diamond city without having to stumble around is pretty neat.

Several of the police offices though are in places you shouldn't have explored or fast traveled to though, I liked it but I could have done with a little better ending, the guy was after all hid in a pretty shitty bunker and the door could have easily been blown open
How are you guys getting such shit DL speeds for nexus, i can get a mod like the not-m16 mounted and ready in like 10 seconds

A lot of these "bonuses" and magazines suck because they weren't made with endgame in mind. That magazine becomes absolutely useless the second you find Diamond City, just like all issues of Tumblers Today become absolutely useless the second you get the rank of lockpicking which makes your lockpicks unbreakable.
Though the magazines I REALLY hate are Astoundingly Awesome Tales. Do 1% more damage with the cryolator... or have a permanent 1% chance increase that an enemy attack will do no damage. The bonuses are so minuscule and they don't stack with anything else due to their uniqueness and are ultimately useless.

It's an interesting idea, executed really poorly. It would've been neat if it was actually useful, but the game tells you where Diamond City is anyways.
edit: a mod the disabled fast travel but let you fast travel to diamond city if you found that magazine would be good
would be a handy perk then, since it's a good place to sell off your junk
have some lore description about it being a guide to merchant's shortcuts there or something
I feel like there are a million things that they could've done to make the game feel more complete. It is a fun game, but sometimes it is just upsetting noticing all the little things they could have easily done, and maybe even did, but never put into the game.
At first, i liked Curie.. but then, i started to dislike her. She's so dumb and naive! She don't fit the commonwealth AT ALL in her synth form, she can't survive shit and she don't know shit! After some days with her, i feel like she is a child and without the SS she would just die alone
and that the same for every female companion in this game. i just hate the pretentions behavior of piper, always thinking she's the best and she is better than everyone, i just wanted to tell her fuck you i'm not with you at all at diamond city entrance and say to sullivan to open to me but not to piper and if she trie to move i push her back, end of the story.
and cait. She is just annoying. Always complaining. She got that raiders vibe that i hate. Did you call ironside a piece of junk? You stupid bitch you were a prostitute and you did nothing of your lives.
Grr just thinking about her reactions make me angry.
But oh boy i like the other companions. Preston garvey is okay, X6 99 is .. powerful and okay too. Hancock and Deacon are the best. I love their style. Nick valentine is amazing like always, Codsworth is pretty much what i tought a person can be after 200 years : You know, he was always happy during the intro.. and then you see how he became a cynical, sarcastical robot attached to the past, like every other robot in this game.
Then Danse. Annoying as fuck. I wanted to tell him to shut up with his synth-hate, he's a FUCKING hypocrite and it's not because you know that you are one that you can still hate synth, it's your fucking kind and your hating on yourself.
Killed him the moment i could on my next playtrought.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuugh, one of my mods is CTDing the game on launch and now I have to go through all of them and figure out which one it is and hope it's not one of the settlement stuff ones.

[QUOTE=Sableye;49886210]I really think they meant for diamond city to be harder to find[/QUOTE]
They really fucked that up by making one of the first main quests put a map marker on it.
I really don't get the point of that magazine too. I wonder how many people found it before starting the quest to find Diamond City.
[QUOTE=TheRealRudy;49885726]yep, atleast it has really cool artwork, like the other wasteland survival guides (and magazines in general);

i love that new inspect feature in fo4, something fo3 and nv were really missing. just the ability to view your items up close in 3d is just so neat and really brings out the details of the game items[/QUOTE]
Of all of Bethesda's contributions to the lore of Fallout, the Wasteland Survival Guide is my favorite.
It's nice that the only good quest of Fallout 3 has some legacy to it.
It makes me wonder what Moira is up to. The magazines seem to be a Comonwealth-specific collection, so is she in the Commonwealth writing these? Is it the work of an inspired copycat? Or a writer on contract with Craterside Publishing House LLC.?

don't they mark diamond city off on your map in the first like 10 minutes of gameplay
or am i mistaken
I fucking hate shotguns, I'm at point blank range with the combat shotgun, all the pellets hit, yet it's taking me like 3 - 4 shots to kill a Triggerman.
It also does 90 Damage.

Pretty much every trader at the start of the game will show you the way there if asked.

Except after your first playthrough you'll know exactly how to get to Diamond City and 15 minutes of playing can give you a map marker without going anywhere near that magazine.
What I needed was a map to Goodneighbor because I couldn't find that shit till I walked the freedom trail.
[sp]And coincidentally now I don't even need to follow the trail to get to the railroad, I just look for the fucking steeple[/sp]

Interested to see how the BOS quest line plays out after this, Fallout 4 isn't like new vegas and this is the first time ive "failed" a quest by killing an NPC and yet still been allowed to complete it through a plan B.
