I love this game, It has been replayed so often that it has a permanent home on my SD and PC
over 1600 likes i'm so glad you are playing this one again
Over 1700k now
We gotta LOOT dude!
Pro Tip:
When looting containers and corpses with multiple items, you can just tap R to open their inventory then R again to take all.
Two keystrokes, super fast.
Much easier than mouse clicking all 8 things off a raider or some such.
Bonus pro tip: You can do it when there's any number of things, even 1, but it's slower than a single mouse click - BUT, it's a safe way to loot items in water. Often, if you click E on a floating corpse or underwater chest, you drink the irradiated water instead of getting the item, but the R key never makes you drink the water.
Love the Fallout games, this one I never played so it's all new to me.
Just started FO4, really enjoy your vids,thanks for playing it.
Please keep playing and I'll watch your other.
Play through too thanks, Brian. Have an amazing day.
Don't forget, becoming a Raider and leading a band of raiders that attack settlements (instead of you helping and/or rebuilding them) is an option.
How do you go that route? I'm doing my 1st play through on this and became a minuteman... 😅
@@marinusmuller9359 You need the Nuka Cola DLC. He has it so It is an option for him.
If you have it, you can't use it until you reach level 30.
MAYBE you can go sooner, but the actual quest will pop up for you at level 30 and the enemies are all around that level or higher, so not much point getting there to just die.
There is a raider faction there that you can join or destroy.
Anything else would be spoilers, so just look for the new quest option once you hit level 30 then do the quest, the rest is up to you.
@@marinusmuller9359 My advice is to finish the game as a nice guy first.
Your game, your choice, but this game has a vast open world of content mainly based on you helping people instead of raiding them.
Don't miss out on all that.
On you NEXT playthrough, go full evil mode if that's your thing.
If you do that the first time, you'll miss half of the game's content - it's up to you.
I never stopped playing 😊 enjoying the play through! Thanks😊
Mee too oooooo poopys
This game holds such a sweet spot in my heart.
Watched your playthrough before and so glad you have come back to it. I've got a playthrough going right now and looking forward to the update coming soon.
Fallout 4 is really really eerie to me I was born in Concord Massachusetts I've not only walked across but I've also physically touched the Old North Bridge
BTW. You can loot everything in the museum. Just place the stuff in the cigarette dispenser in the front area. The loot will be safe until the building resets.
decided to play along with you, since i've never finished (hell, barely started). thanks Brian.
I never got into any of the Fallout games but I love the apocalypse aesthetic so I'm down to watch a full playthrough of this.
So happy you did this one.
The side missions are great
So glad you are playing this, I have wanted to see you play this since I joined
Was doing another playthrough of this but gonna wait for the update. Gonna play 3 and NV for now
Just finished downloading it along with all the mods and high res packs. Plan on getting stoned tonight and reliving good ol times
chad energy
Absolutely love fallout 4!! So excited for another full play through!! Much love Brother!
36:30 "How did people actually play video games like this back in the day? There's no way you actually enjoyed this sh!t."
We did enjoy it.
At that time, games like this were the best video games ever.
We'd even ride our bikes several miles to put MONEY into them just so we could play a few minutes of games like this one.
It was either that or read a book...
Facts and if we got thirsty we would just drink from the garden hose.
@@cartertoshner1105you know it! I’d go back to those days in a heartbeat too.
4:50 "The TV Show better start with war never changes."
No spoilers...
As you see in the trailer, it has a different start more like Fallout 3 than 4.
But regarding that line - you won't be disappointed.
Walton Goggins IS SUCH A GREAT ACTOR. he REALLY SELLS the beginning of the series.
Brian Menard, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!
You're probably the first to do a first playthrough series with mods on the hardest difficulty and now the second without haha. You should check out Fallout London when it drops too
1:50:50 "Do any of you play like this?"
Yes, I once made a melee build.
I didn't do power armor though. I hate that stuff.
My melee build was more like a ninja, sneaking into places then pounding them into grease with a rocket sledge.
My favorite Fallout 3 playthrough was with the Chinese stealth armor armed with a death claw gauntlet. Combined with the martial art perk that paralyzed the target. So much fun 😊
Great stuff. Can’t wait for April 25th.I only have 104 hours on this game due to new gen computer with wide screen.The show is great.
It's mindblowing how nice the vanilla game is still after all these years. Can't wait for you to play the Fallout 4 london mod when it comes out. :D
That show had partially inspired me to replay. This vid may put me over that fence, even though I'm thoroughly into No Man's Sky now
Just got it off Steam on a sale, due to watching your play through, and am enjoying it. It's addicting. I keep getting sliced and blasted to shreds even with being sneaky or molotovs, and mr Handy shooting fire, at the Lexington Super deal mart on the way to the assembly plant.
Fallout 4 on survival mode gave me the most intense gaming experience in my life. Sometimes I couldn't believe such a game was possible with today's technology.
Subbed. Love this game
Awesome gameplay awesome game I love the series notice that you did have a stream today I will be hopping on the next one if there is one
i might have to replay this game for a 4th time. And i agree 100% on being a savage. I went on a warpath the first play through as soon as i got a replacement fusion core for that power armor it was on!
Love your fallout streams man
When choosing stats, the most important thing is what perks you're going to want. For example, a melee build doesn't need Perception for VATS accuracy, and probably doesn't need to go past 4 (if you want Lockpicking) or 1 (if you don't). Most builds won't need any Charisma, unless you're doing a lot of settlement building, which makes Local Leader really useful (6 CHA). You can put on CHA clothing for social interactions and it's really easy to get +5 (+1 hat, +2 clothing, +1 glasses, +1 beer), meaning that at 6 CHA + 5, you can pass any speech check and get best prices with the addition of a Grape Mentats.
For a melee build, I'd want up to Rooted in STR and up to Blitz in AGI. Endurance is generally garbo, especially early on, because the effects of increased END are retroactive. You can take the Lifegiver perk to get +20 HP, but you need to be at least level 30 to get the same amount or more from raw END. So, you get the most bang for your buck by starting low END and then raising it post level 30 or so. Plus, there's nothing in the whole tree that's that worth it.
You don't need INT for almost anything (4 for Hacker maybe). And, because a build based in Blitz + Rooted is going to rely more on coming in with a few big hits (rather than many smaller ones), you can dump Luck.
TLDR: I'd go with something like S9 P4 E3 C1 I1 A9 L1
But no slight on your choices. Looking forward to seeing how your run goes as I'm doing my own thing and listening in. I'm doing a Power Armor and Settlement building playthrough right now. My SPECIAL is S3 P4 E1 C6 (You're Special book) I9 A5 L1. I'm using shotguns for close-range VATS and scoped rifles for long-range sniping. And I always carry a trusty melee weapon for bug bashing :)
At time stamp 3hrs 18 min. It was a molerat with two frag mines straped to it's back. LOL. Many have fallen victim of it's approach. Ps there is an underground garage downtown that has several.
Great stream
It's Nice to see Fallout after all these years, I played Fallout 4 seven or eight years ago.
Dang, gonna have to play this game now. The Abernathy farm, that's my family 250 years in the future.
Binged the entire show Saturday, Super stocked you're playing this again and hope you enjoy the show! It's got so many good references!
What show
More today?? This one is very nostalgic haha
1:35:40 "The short pipe bolt action is way more damage."
That's because it uses .308 ammo, just about the rarest ammo in the game. you only have 7 rounds. I suggest saving it for when you find a real sniper rifle.
Love this game
Are all these Fallout revisits due to the live action series that came out on Amazon? I just watched it and I was super happy with it. Made me feel like I was in the game again. In fact, I'm going to be playing Fallout 4 again because I don't really recall playing it the first time around.
Nice to see you playing this. I will follow your playthrough. The early game of this is well balanced I think and the simple makeshift weapons are fun during that time. I find it difficult to get into this game mainly due to the mandatory settlement management. I do not really want to play town management I want to go out and explore. So if anyone has any recommendations to make settlements easier to handle I would appreciate it.
2:52:23 "I think turrets need power, don't they?"
Not the basic machinegun turrets, but the better ones with lasers and missiles do.
For ALL things you can build, if it uses power, it will say so - it will even say how much.
Just click it like you want to try to build it and it shows all resources it needs (power, a human, whatever) and it shows you what resources it makes (defense, food, power) and it shows a number for each so you know exactly how much.
I always did the power armor, super sledge, and Minigun. I used the random sniper rifle too.
honestly with the next gen update coming out soon I think you should hold off on a series til then. but I won’t be complaining about you continuing this one I’m cool with whatever!
Brian Menard, Subscribed because your videos are always awesome!
"i was build for this", thats epic! and you CAN climb with "super armor, and jump, amazing!
Sturges: We need beds
Brian: This is the best I can do
- slaps table -
2:19:00 "So a lot of you go around and scrap everything in Sanctuary?"
Yep!
In fact, I don't use many mods but one I like is "Scrap Everything" which does what it says, lets me scrap almost anything within radius of the workbench.
So many things in Sanctuary and other places that are right in the way and you can't get rid of them - the mod takes care of that.
Have to be careful with it. For example, it can scrap the street, but the ground under it is weird looking and hard to walk on so I make sure to not scrap parts of the game environment like the ground.
By the end of the game, I have concrete condos housing over 25 settlers in Sanctuary, with food, water, and places for them to work including multiple vendors for armor, weapons, clothing, food, general trader, and a doctor.
I usually build a palace for me, a hangar for my 40 powered armor suits all lined up in neat rows on 40 armor stands, a hall of trophies displaying my favorite armor, guns, magazines, bobbleheads, etc., a factory to make ammo, and other fun stuff.
Not to mention a dozen sentry robots roaming around keeping the rifraff from storming the gates.
Great stream and yes some quarter's were wasted back then lol 😁🇨🇦👍👍👍👍
For a melee build a must haves are blitz, four leaf clover and grim reaper's sprint. On top of mister sandman.
1:58:20 "Do workshops share inventory?"
Mostly no.
You can get a perk if your charisma is high enough that lets you use a settler to create supply lines from one workshop to another.
Get a supply line for each workshop.
They count toward population limits and they need food and water and beds, so I always just make one at each new settlement and make one supply line to the nearest one I already have, so that way no settlement needs to support the burden of more than one supply line.
Note that even if you do this, you're only sharing junk inventory, not weapons or armor or ammo.
So I would just get used to Fast Travel and keep the good stuff at Sanctuary forever.
Or, later when you have more options, maybe move your good stuff to a more central location - it only takes one or two fast travels to move your favorite stuff.
That f@k3d up Deathclaw yesterday made me sayin too, like Knight Titus: f0k-sh1t-f0k and runnin' too..😂 Just was dumb enough without the fusion core inserted, and not grabbed the minigun. It was legendery..🤣👌🏻
yes,we did i loved playing Pacman and miss pacman it was similar, spent many a dollar on those arcade machines
Yes
Hell yeah we enjoyed games, this is Donkey Kong. I loved going to arcades as a kid.
At about 3:16:00 ish I got a good laugh when I wondered if the enemy who just fragged you was using VATS while you were talking about VATS and not watching for bad guys... I'm doing a play through now, and I'm saving like a demon, too bad you got put all the way back to Abernathy! :( still, I got a good rofl...
Been getting into playing older games again
Starfield: Best open world/ galaxy for years to come….
Fallout: Hold my nuke cola
Damn dude, now I need to play this again too 😂
Hell yeah
I've started my replay of Fallout 4 as well and my gameplay part 1 drops today. Just don't focus on my sweaty t-shirt
fallout4 and farcry 3 are my most favorite games to play back.
Brian i would wait out for a while..this game is getting the FREE new Next Gen update on April the 25th and the added Enclave Quest content added.
I'm playing this again I forgot how good it is
Yo dude also recently installed, have u installed a mod for the loading times going in and out of buildings.. I need one.
The TV show on Prime is sooooo good. I recommend watching it.
I remember watching a play through where the guy playing called Mama Murphy, Mama Meth Mouth lol. I just bought the game on ps5 because it’s only $5.
I'm glad you're playing Fallout again. I could never bring myself to watch the last playthrough because you killed dogmeat 😅
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Since you asked: (no real spoilers - you find it all out in the trailer and the first few minutes of the show)
The show follows 3 major characters, one from the wasteland, one from a vault, and one from pre-war times. So, you get some of everything.
A remake of New Vegas would be the best Fallout, just add some more modern stuff but that story is the best by far.
Bro I swear down, only reason why I stopped playing this game was because I had a game sesh and next time I reloaded the game it didn’t save my last save so I rage quit and ended it all together. That was about 3 years ago, I love the game as it presented something that other games don’t, I enjoy the storyline and watching you play with the knowledge is bombin
Boy chat was ready with the likes on this one! I don't think anyone had to be reminded to like lol
Playing with mods.. love this shit…. Crazy no dying no overcumbered infinite everything
1:25:00 Kinda sux to pick up the laser musket and leave the 3 cells of ammo on the ground there next to it.
They spent most of the dev time of Starfield developing tech. I think The Elder Scrolls VI will take advantage of what they have updated in terms of systems and developemt tools. They are going to concentrate much more on really making the game, making the systems of the game. And Fallout 5 will be so great like this one (the state of art of its time).
44:33 sound out - 45:31 sound returns
ha missed the specials book at the start on the dresser.
brian u checking out no rest for the wicked bro it runs awesome n im running 3060ti
Im waiting for the next gen update towards the end of the month before i start another play through great game im looking forward to diving into the common wealth.
i just bought the game. never played fallout 4. looking forward to it.
Saw a State of Decay mod for Fallout 4 and thought of you. lol
Thanks for fallout
surviving all the crashs seems to be more difficult than surviving the apocalypse
The game hasn't even started yet, and i already know dog meat is dead meat.
Should try this like SoD make separate communities to side with different factions so you get a look at all endings. But got to say preferred New Vegas, but that's me 😊❤
I'm glad to see you're back to one of my 3 favorite games of all time (sorry, your claim-to-fame alma mater State of Decay 2 makes my top 10 but not top 3 - but it did bring me to sub to you so credit for that).
No spoilers: The TV show is about meh, or maybe slightly more than meh, for non-players, but for anybody who loves this game, the TV show is awesome!
Awesome idea , Fallout show season 1 was good !
The update comes out in 2 days and is more than just graphics. I started playing this cause I saw you playing it. lol. Got it for $9.99.
You should play the Sim Settlements 2 mod
Is there a cap lvl in this game or xan u get all the perks and ect
1:44:05 notice Mamas black eye....😅
is the new update a mod? I want to restart fallout with no mods. Next question, are there any mods for like gameplay and graphics?
For the Cryolator take Dogmeat with you he can retrieve it as your lockpicking early game blows 😊😂😂😂😂
Brian watch the Fallout show whenever you finish One Piece. It’s damned good!
1:34:30 "i'm looting too much."
Nope.
You're carrying too much.
What's the difference?
When you left Sanctuary, you had 155 out of 270, more than half full.
You should have left about 100 of that in the Sanctuary workbench.
By the time you left Red Rocket, you had about 180 out of 270 and could have easily left 130 weight at Red Rocket's workbench.
Your looting is fine.
Your leaving it in workbenches needs, uh, work...
Also, don't forget Dogmeat can carry some stuff!
1:35:50 "I hope I find a merchant soon cuz I'm wicket encumbered."
Nope. Loooon way from that.
Just let Dogmeat carry some and leave it all in Sanctuary.
