Same thing happened to me, and I wasn't even wading through filth at the time. I also have the level 2 lady killer perk, so she's either a synth or a lesbian to be able to resist my charm.

Or both.

I can provide more specific help if I knew what your system is, RDD.

Hmm off the top of my head:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T, 2.8 GHz, 6 cores
GPU: Radeon HD 5700 series 1024 MB (not sure specifically which model)
RAM: 8gb DDR3 RAM (2x 4GB sticks) 1333 MHz quad channel

For the Mirelurk Queen Preston found a Flamer and went to town with that bad boy (I was using Piper as my actual companion at the time), and sprinkled in a bit of grenades as well. He was raining hell on fools

Lots of great tips for building on that reddit site.

I found out that two of the lasses at work are Fallout and Edler Scrolls fans; their gaming nerdiness made them hot to me, which generally they are not.

Anyways, I've started upgrading my comp for this bad boy (though partly because my graphics card is dying). I ordered a new graphics card (nothing special better than the one I have now), and over the next month I'll get a new PSU, 16gb of RAM, and I intend to buy an i7 processor. It should keep my comp going for 3 more years, at least... until a new Elder Scrolls game appears, and I buy a new comp entirely.

AMD cards are more or less for when you are on a budget. On some of the midrange cards you can definitely find a cheaper AMD card that outperforms a similar tier nVidia card. However in terms of pure power, if you've got the cash, nVidia is king.

Yeah that needs a big time upgrade. Depending on your budget you can get a nice rig for $500ish also but of course the sweet spot is closer to $1000 if you want to play on very high settings and above at 1080p for another few years.

Pretty much, at least till DX12 is out for games.

Not really looking for a fullscale upgrade, I don't mind playing on low settings for now, just wanna get the framerate a bit more consistent.

Most of my gaming (besides FO4 right now) is Diablo III and Dota 2 and I've not had any issues with those. Don't foresee myself needing a massive overhaul. Probably just wanna grab a ~$150 GPU and that should be sufficient

Yeah, the minimum spec is a graphics card with 2GB. I take it you meaning $150 and US and not Canadian, because there defo won't be much point doing it at that price in CAD.

road doggy dogg 11-13-2015 02:06 PM

Well considering my current card is "well below" the recommended (and hell even minimum) requirements and I certainly consider my game playable in its current state, I very much doubt I need to break the bank

Looking at NCIX, the only cards for that money would be a downgrade in speed looking at benchmarks. Maybe look around second hand?

It's a shame you can't shove more RAM in a card.

Ah yeah, forgot about that shit. Just remember that minimum on AMD cards is 3GB apparently in case you see a good deal on that shit.

I have an integrated Intel graphics card, baby!

Also check out used AMD cards from brands that have transferable warranty (Gigabyte, MSI for example). For $150 you should be able to snag a good used condition R9 290 even which will be a massive jump from what you are experiencing. But that CPU will continue to be the bottleneck and limit the GPU a lot.

Sixx 11-13-2015 02:55 PM

VSG, you're makin' me hot with that computer talk.

Didn't take long for a company to go after Bethesda and/or modders because of the game.

MLB is upset that someone made a David Ortiz mod without their approval and are trying to get it removed as quick as possible.

road doggy dogg 11-13-2015 06:22 PM

Jesus christ fuck off

Would be cool if Ortiz himself said it was cool to use his likeness and told the MLB to suck it

Here's a couple decent cards near that price. Pretty good bang for the buck.

I would recommend this instead if you don't want to hunt used deals: http://gpushack.com/collections/all-...9-280x-vapor-x

There's a further $10 discount if you get a pic of a console: http://gpushack.com/pages/peasant-conversion-tool

Does fast traveling with power armor use up the fusion core? I've upgraded it enough, along with my weapons, that I'm ready to take down that Swan mother fucker.

When I go to meet Ness at the crash site she will never speak to me. I can talk but she never responds.

There is a magazine that adds new objects for each issue you find. Wiki lists where you can find them.

I noticed it up and changed for no reason. It was just "Dog" for awhile, then suddenly, it became Dogmeat in both dialogue and overhead name text. Might be his version of the "romance" aspect, in that you go from generic whistles and "here, boy" to actually giving him the name.[/speculation]

That's a lot of building materials for having not left yet. Either someone is lying for the meme to work, or the console commands have been tinkered with.

Not saying it isn't an impressive looking drug cartel-esque stronghold, though.

His name changed for me after I met Mama Murphy in Concord. She called him Dogmeat and then his name just changed. My character still doesn't call him Dogmeat though. Just whistles and says "here boy."

SlickyTrickyDamon 11-14-2015 08:44 PM

Is there a way to tell where a companion is if you can't find them? Fallout: New Vegas had them on the map.
