Fallout 4

The Children of Atom are located in the Glowing Sea in Fallout 4 (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Glowing_Sea).

May 19th seems to be a bit sooner than I expected. I'm glad that the game is getting this new DLC and that it is supposed to be the largest one Bethesda has done. One reason why I'm glad is because there will be more opportunities to level up and get some perks.

Oh yeah it's cool!!!! If by "cool" you mean extremely radioactive and harboring dangerous creatures. LOL I think you *could* go in it without a power suit, but you won't last long. There's a scientist there you need to speak to, Virgil is his name I think, in order to find the Institute. As a side, he asks you to find the cure for his mutation in the Institute, but I didn't see it come up under my quest log, so I never did get it for him. But, there's a device in the Glowing Sea you need to retrieve anyway.

Thanks for mentioning Fringe! You've made it easy for me to decide what to watch next. I just finished watching Penn & Teller: Bullshit, which is a great show. Now I'm watching Fringe for the 2nd time, I don't know if I've seen the last two seasons. Perhaps I'll check out Alias next since I've never seen it, but I'm also thinking of watching The X-Files, Heroes, and Lost again (yes, I've seen all 3 once before).

So, is everyone in agreement that the Institute are the bad guys? I know Travis sided with them at least once to complete that end of story. That was the first ending I saw, because that's the side I chose. I don't think any of the groups are necessarily good or evil, I think it just depends on your perspective. I mean, yeah they're evil if you're the Brotherhood, but the Brotherhood is evil if you're the Institute. That was one thing I didn't particularly like, that once you get to a certain point in the game, you have to take sides. Even worse is that the endings really aren't all that different.

Oh damn, that's in a week! That seems sooner than I expected although I'm not sure when I expected to see DLC. That does look cool. I wonder what the most effective weapon would be against them. There certainly seems like a great variety of robots! I might jump in and take a look at it, we'll see. I did order the Season Pass, so it will definitely be mine.

I thought I ordered the Season Pass, but it doesn't look as though I did.

I can't remember if I decided not to get the Season Pass or if I decided to wait. I just know that later, I thought I got it, but I apparently didn't. So, I missed out on the special price, but I decided to go ahead and get it anyway. I spent a couple of days playing this new DLC and I pretty much finished it. There is still a mission left for me to do, though. I'm not sure if it's a radial mission, but I assume it is. I do like the new companion, Ada. I particularly like her because when Travis and I were in college together, our programming classes were based on that language, Ada. I enjoyed getting components to upgrade her using the new robotic crafting station. Although, I didn't have the required perks to give her many of the upgrades, so I missed out on some. I did change her paint to blue, though she was pretty much already blue. I think her default color was cyan or something else that's bluish.

Travis must be quite busy this semester. I'm surprised that we haven't heard anything from him regarding this new DLC. Oh and I was wondering what would be the most effective weapon against robots. Well, it seems that a shotgun is definitely a really good weapon against them. I seem to recall Travis mentioning something like that in another post.

>I picked up the season pass. So far I haven't played any of it. I tried playing Fallout 4 the other day and for whatever reason, didn't continue. I hope I find the drive to finish the game as I really enjoyed up to the point I got.

Yeah, I regret the mistake I made of not getting it when I thought I had it and it was cheaper. I could have saved some money, obviously, but ah well, mistakes a part of life. Haha.

Yet again I'll repeat myself, pretty much, haha. I believe I have suffered from anxiety with this game, which makes playing it a bit frustrating. It easily and quickly overwhelmed me. There are a huge amount of weapons to choose from and tons of ways to modify them. Armor is pretty much the same, although I find it much easier to choose what to use. I pretty much stick with whatever's better than I have. The perk system also overwhelmed me and, like weapons, continues to do so. Now that I can make and modify robots, there are perks I need to get better mods for them. That goes with armor, too. I haven't really messed with weapon mods, though. I did go ahead and get the Armorer perk and I think I have it to level 2 now. Almost all of my S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats are maxed, except for the last two. I'm still level 50-60ish. There's still a lot I can do in the game, which is good because I can get those other perks I need for mods.

> Last I heard he played it but yeah, i'd expected a full review by now too

Well, like I said (don't you love all this repetition?), he seems to be extremely busy with this semester. However, he'll be done in the next few months, so I'm sure he'll post his input later.

>I am not too high level but the shotguns have been a staple of my gameplay so far. The shells are easy enough to find and they pack a huge punch. I try and pick off smaller guys with the handgun but when things get crazy, out comes the shotgun. Recently(or when I was playing it) I got an automatic shotgun which does a bit less damage but can really rip out the shells.

Yeah, I like the shotgun, too, it's a very effective weapon. However, I've used it so much that I've actually run out of ammo and have had to try other weapons.

I was going to say that I can't think of any Fallout 4 questions, but I did...Who did you ally with? Who was your favorite companion? What place did you end up making your settlement? What's your favorite weapon(s)? How many times did you do those never-ending Minuteman missions? How many hours have you clocked? Did you find all locations, bobbleheads, and other extra stuff? What do you think about the game pretty much forcing you to choose sides?

As for Star Wars VIII, I think I agree with the rest of you. I'd like to see some character development. I'd also like some of the questions I had about VII answered. I think we all want to know who Rey's related to.

I also thought I'd point out how interesting I find it that some of us have been playing one game for half a year or more and we continue to play. Scrypt's game is Rocket League, Jon's is Hearthstone, and mine is Ark: Survival Evolved. I just think it's interesting. As for me, I do have plenty to say about Ark, still, and especially now that I've finally accepted an invitation to join an official server. So, I am playing with and against others. I enjoy the co-op aspect of it most and haven't gotten into the PVP part much. My tribe tries to remain neutral. Anyway, maybe more on that later.

BTW Pokemon *IS* cool! Gotta catch'em all!! Once I found out it was an RPG game, after having played some Final Fantasy games, I was hooked!

Thanks, Adam ;) Smithers should have got his ass back in that goal, that's all I'm saying.

I'm forcing myself to play Fallout 4 right now, because I want to trade it in before The Division comes out. Does that make me a bad person?

I'll probably pick it up again sometime next year on a Steam sale or something. Honestly, it's super buggy on PS4 as of right now. Frame rate issues, and it's crashed on me a couple of times. I'm sure I'll find out how wonderful it is at a later date :).
