I bought Fallout 4.
I can attest that you can waste way too much time doing things and picking up things and building things and killing things ( mostly Ghouls in this version ) than you really have time to blow.
I spent time building a place for the people I first ran into to live safely only to find out that regardless of the safety measures you put in place they are going to do stupid things like stand on five foot high roofs and or sleep in your bed or just sit out in the bloody rain because they can.
Today after playing for some hours I did a quest to relieve a transmitting site of its nasty ( raider /boomer ) people only to be given the requirement to secure it ( impossible ) and then send a call out for people to move and live there... HAH! I would have to ring the place with gun emplacements every five feet to feel good about that.
Even in the zone ( Sanctuary ) I secured with full walls and automatic weapon emplacements they popped in raiders in the middle of the blinkin place... Thank forethought that I ran gun turrets on almost every roof in the area.... That's about the only way the idiots were saved.. what did they do.. walk towards to raiders with open arms.... Yeah.. sounds like reality don't it.... So I shut it down... Enough with reality without it happening in a surreality I am trying to build.
Perhaps I should set up my own safe-house and let them all go hug the mutants. I can salvage their junk after.
Nevermind.
New back door tomorrow....
That is something to look forward to. After last weeks short week and then having to work from home on my first vacation day to try and fix things that are out of my local control... well it was a bad start to the holidays. Now I an having to wait till Monday to get other work done I should have been able to do from home also, but for a crappy password system locking me out when it should not have. Waiting.. I really hate waiting.. I want to do now.. get it done.. this is not helping my procrastination bones.
Thanksgiving was a nice quiet day .. with a stomach virus playing about it was going to be a close to home day regardless. I had a turkey sammich for dinner tonight and it was very nice. I'm thinking a hot turkey sammich tomorrow for lunch while I watch the workmen install that door.
Its going to be a short week next week as the Red Rock Rally in Gallup starts Friday and I plan on being there Friday evening to fly Saturday and Sunday... Hope to get some good video and pictures. I want to get a shot of the top inside of my balloon with the 10.5 lens on the D7100 so I can create the trip tic shot for my office wall. I have to remember that that comes secondary to flying not first. We shall see.
Well since I took them I should post them with a bit of information and props to the creators of the Fallout 4 world-let. Its nice if you weren't having to rescue people from their stupid selves all the time.
Sanctuary... with my build to fit bunker and gravity defying lookout post. Since there are no instructions on how to create things unless you delve into the nets I had to play around until I figured it out. With the building of houses and walls you would think the creators would have opened up the build areas more with more materials to use and made pieces to go up and down at an angle.. Nothing is straight on the landscape except for the building blocks.. stupid.
Power Armor...Found five sets.. none complete.. fine... using cores to power them is a bit much, not unlike having to repair your equipment in Fallout 3 New Vegas.. It gets tedious. Oh.. and if I take out a raider with a power suit I should be able to scavenge that suit. Since about all you do in this game is pick up crap ... well please.
The Sky Long Barrow... I built it big to house stuff and up high to keep raiders out and the locals out. Heh! Even removing the stairway before I leave the area, I find them in my bed, on the roof, sitting in the chairs with their dirty clothes... May have to relocate everything to an empty area like the red rocket place. Let Sanctuary fend for itself. My character is wearing a metal helmet and combat armor.. It carry's a pretty good 15 points at this time... Hate wearing the power armor all the time.
Bomber Kitty.... Got to hand it to the artists.. they do have a good time in this place.. I loved this picture... I even found a cat laying in a field playing with some little pumpkin gourds. The pictures of the Moose in repose is a bit much though.
I have found one big glitch in the game so far and it irritates me.. but I am not going to think about it at all. I am going to finish this and think about this week and this next weekend and how to set cameras up.
If you are playing Fallout 4 or are thinking of buying it.. Go for it.. its a good diversion.. just remember.. that the people in it are no better than the people around you right now..... Stupid.. Silly and ignorant.
Fallout 4 creators.. Get back in there and fix the damn angle thing so I can have walls that do not have to sink into the ground half way to follow a line or leave gaps everywhere. Stupid and silly... Oh.. and I want a FREAKIN DOOR THAT I CAN LOCK!
LOLOLOL..... Its FUN!!!
