Morning all just setting up my Xbox series x with mods to play fallout 4, have had a two year break from the series x and notice there seems a lot less mods than there used to be. Fallout patch is not there any reason for less mods
Figured it's a good time to start this up again. Brand new to the series, and first thing i have to ask, is there an easy way to have a mini map on your screen? Bringing out the pip boy and going through the prompts seems like I'm doing something wrong. Either that, or I'm going to be having a frustrating time over 40hrs.
@NintendoByNature Yeah, but you get use to it after awhile. I appreciate it now. To be honest it does feel a little werid when playing a game and you need to access a screen to select items or what not. Fallout and Borderlands had a good idea to keep the immersion.

@Tasuki yep. I'll continue onward. I love the setting so far. Only an hour in though. Gunplay is a little tough in 3rd person so I might switch to 1st.
@NintendoByNature That's how I play Fallout 3 and New Vegas, first person mode. Not a big fan of 4 due to one part which I won't get into here so I don't spoil it. But yeah 3rd person just feels awkward.

@Tasuki interesting. I played starfield in 3rd person and it felt fine. Maybe the gunplay was a little easier to handle in that though. Looking forward to seeing what the rest of the game is like.
@NintendoByNature Maybe I know when I play Skyrim, I play that in 3rd person because first just feels odd to me. I never played Starfield. Look at videos and such it just made me want to play Fallout again lol.

@Tasuki hah. I hear starfield is pretty much fallout but in space. And I really enjoyed fallout. With that said, I'm sure I'll enjoy fallout. I already like the setting more than I did in starfield and I'm early in. And the story of the whole nuclear fallout thing has always been interesting to me.
Funnily enough I never played skyrim either. It's on my WL and ill get to it at some point. Just little time man, ya know.
Never played Fallout 4 before, the only previous one i played was the original on PC many, many years ago.
Started this when the new update dropped…and its brilliant, feels great at 60fps, not sure what the visual differences will be once the Xbox version gets updated, but is definitely playing really well. I might need to drop the difficulty as i tried the same fight probably 5 times last night and got destroyed each time
@Tasuki I might just be dense, but are the quest markers and quest lines a tad confusing? I would get a few parts of a specific quest checked off but then couldn't figure out a way to close out the rest of quest Even though I was right in the area. I also don't know where I can sell off some of this stuff. I'm almost at full weight. I just made it to the first downtown area( concord maybe). Got the power suit. Saw deathclaw and avoided it at all costs. Any other tips for beginners? I have no clue what I should be doing or how to progress the story.
@NintendoByNature I will be honest, I didn't put much time into Fallout 4 and it's been awhile since I played it. I am not a big fan of it and preferred Fallout 3 and New Vegas. If you are getting encumbered you can place items in containers such as desks, drawers, fridges etc and come back to them later. Maybe try looking up a guide online for specifics such as vendors and such. Wish I can be more help but as I said I haven't played the game in awhile and I didn't get to far in it.
