It's more stable, looks and runs better than Skyrim

I ended up turning down the lighting effects and shadow effects and whatever other miscellaneous stuff I didn't care about and now it works great. I'm playing in full 1920x1080 ultra graphics so i'm glad those little fixes did the trick. I've only experienced one crash and that was during the loading screen. It just stopped loading altogether.

Hadn't heard about it till now and now I wanna look for it.

I heard the crashsite is randomized, so any spoilers you might read won't help you much

I'm lvl 46, getting ready to finish the main story quest.. and as it turns out, it's bugged. A script that's supposed to work didn't and now I'm no longer a spy for one of the factions, I'm actually allied with the faction I spied on.....
I only read about it yesterday once I turned off my pc already, will try today - supposedly for some restarting the game fixed the problem. If it doesn't... well... I'm starting from scratch. On Hard this time - playing on normal, even without the power armor, I only die in 2 cases: when I fell into a pit, because I'm blind and can't spot a hole, or when one of the bandits/gunners/supermutants is armed with a fat man launcher - a nuke in the face so far has killed me 100% of times

That and there's not much survival involved anymore when I carry around 8k or so bullets (and use them as additional currency), 150+ stimpacks (only because I sold 300 or so up till now).
Having said all that, did you manage to get your hands on gauss weapons ? I only really found two, they weren't random loot (i can tell you where, but don't want to spoil it) and they are .. simply awesome. Take a look at this baby:

Supposedly the enhanced edition or whats it called that came out recently fixes most of the problems, but I've yet to play it

The enhanced version is the one on the next-gen consoles and is the one recommended to get. Loathsome Pete originally recommended the game to me so will give it a shot.

Problem is that the game has got so overshadowed with all the hype surrounding Fallout 4.

I killed my first Deathclaw yesterday....after dying 3-4 times fighting it.

I crafted my Combat Shotgun (DMG: 118) and can now take deathclaws down in 6 shots.

So my initial game .. broke. Turned out a script didn't engage and I ended up working for the wrong faction.. long story short, I started from scratch. This time I've decided to join the Minutemen and focus on re building the world.
So far I have 19 settlements under my command

all fortified to at least 80+ defense (with sanctuary having over 150), artillery, shops and enough beds/water/food for everyone. All connected via trade routes.

Here's the biggest structure I put up so far, there are shops on the ground floor, a chill out area on the 1st floor and the 2nd floor is my personal penthouse.
Honestly I thought all this sim postapo would be something I wouldn't get into.. and look at me now, a minutemen General with 19 settlements under my care and the 20th soon to be added - Spectacle Island.
Also, look who I met:

Yac.

^I joined the minutemen as soon as I could and it definitely has it's rewards the further you go. I found the vault tec guy as well and he's awesome to have around. I honestly found him completely by accident. I got the artillery yesterday and I love it, it's so badass.
