Some other points. They've added new materials and "junk" to scavenge. I'm still working out how to craft some things, but I'd pay attention when digging around. Gears seem to be particularly difficult to find so far and they are used in a lot of items. I've run out of ammo on my two best guns and without the ability to reload ammo or purchase early in the game I'm at a bit of a disadvantage. One HUGE thing I discovered (I'll use the PC commands): Hold "V" to bring up the interface for building. If you walk around you can place your cursor on trees, buildings, file cabinets, cars.....damn near everything and it will turn yellow or green. The yellow items are ones to scrap and the scrap wood and metal doesn't count against your carry weight. You can have a few hundred units of wood and metal for building and it doesn't penalize you.....unlike Skyrim.
Food heals you, but over time, not instantly.
I hate the goddamn dog. I'm going to park that bastard tonight. One flaw with Bethesda games IMO is the companions getting in the way while in buildings. Yes, I should tell them to wait outside, but I don't like stopping to control something which should help me, not slow the game's flow.
I noticed a few graphics glitches, particularly the partial shading from trees. It flickers from time to time. I'm on my small game rig with a 2gb GT 750 so I may need to play with the settings to eliminate that. Visually the game is better than FO3. Picking locks is the same method but even the bobby pin detail is greatly improved. I can't wait to run this on my box at home.
My low end rig for those curious:
i3-4160
8GB of RAM
GTX 750 with the latest whatever.91 drivers from NVIDIA
Minus the graphics "flicker" with the trees' shadows I've seen no performance issues.
