Hello everyone, Welcome to the first video of my Fallout 4 Blind Playthrough series. I had so much fun playing. I can't wait to dive deep into the game and explore this world.
To shoot Preston Garvey on sight and then flail around in power armour with a minigun that you don't know how to fire whist being assailed by multiple bandits and a Deathclaw, cars exploding around you, screaming "Let me heal my dog"... this is magnificent blind playthroughing. Priceless 😁
Too true…. I have put several thousand hours into Fallout and several other open world Bethesda titles…. was not sure what watching a blind play through meant…. But that cry of “Let me heal my dog!!” Will be back to see what happens next..
I am about 30 min in and I subbed for a few reasons. First, your voice is calm and you seem to not "hype" things up just for the video, which I appreciate. You sounded like me during my first play-through, so I find you relatable. And second, I appreciate that you take the time to read the terminal, assess what happened, and invest yourself into the lore. I like listening to play-throughs while I work, and you narrate well so that I always know what stage of the game you are in, even if I am not always looking at the screen. Weird comment, I know, but I felt compelled to write it, and I'm glad I found your channel.
Actually very kind comment, if I was the RU-vidr I’d definitely appreciate it. I understand a lot of where you were coming from and I enjoy the same qualities in a streamer.. especially not overhyping every element in the game. It’s good to find someone who genuinely wants to learn the story and just enjoy the game.
As in Skyrim, Krista’s puzzle solving and attention to detail is impressive. She is exceptional at piecing together clues to logically work out story lines. It’s a slower play-style, but she notices things I missed after multiple play throughs. And happily, her skill with a controller is getting much better. 😅
When did Skyrim's "puzzles" ever require puzzle solving? They're the lamest excuse for puzzles I've ever seen in an RPG. Daggerfall, not something I'd recommend today though, had more decent puzzles, at least for an RPG. Attention to detail and puzzle solving - although easy and obvious once you realize - are much better in Outer Wilds, which is "just an indie game". Probably the best indie game that will ever be created. And also have a much better main story than any Bethesda game will ever have., Starfield not withstanding for obvious reasons, but I'm not holding my breath. Will I endure another FO4? Not sure, depends on the style I guess, just checking this out. Another Outer Wilds? Oh hell yeah 🤣I just can't get enough of that gem.
@@gottagoworkouter wilds didn’t win game of the year, this did so I’ll say a lot of things are done better in this game than outer Wilds. You’re just stating your opinions.
@@kpj2224 My post is unedited. Please quote where I stated Outer Wilds *WON* game of the year. It was still nominated to several games of the year, which is quite a feat for "just an indie game". And brought home several other wins. Most I've seen play it consider it one of the best games, if not the best game, they ever played - that's not my personal opinion, that's theirs. "You’re just stating your opinions." Ehm, yeah? Isn't that what comments are for? One of which was that Bethesda games "puzzle solving" suck and don't require much. If you actually disagree with that you have some explaining to do.
@@gottagowork you don’t have to state that it won game of the year. I’m telling that’s why it’s the better game. You’re trying to say that outer wilds is a better game and it isn’t. Lol you literally came out of no where with this heartfelt opinion about him saying something about puzzles
@@gottagowork he didn’t even say Skyrim had good puzzles, he mentioned that just like in Skyrim her puzzle solving skills are impressive and then you went on a whole rant about shit that had nothing to do with his comment
Excellent - one of my favourite games of the last few years. Played the hell out of this back in lockdown. Where you are using a console/controller, make use of VATS where you can - will make combat a bit more forgiving (especially against certain enemies with "weak spots"). And don't worry about not being able to lockpick every safe/box you come across - they all respawn items within a few days anyways. Just like Skyrim, this game rewards exploration. Just don't pick up ALL the junk until you have settlements to use it on. Most junk will tell you what you will get once you break it down. While there aren't books like Skyrim (aside from magazines that give you buffs) there are a LOT of computer terminal entries that usually tell the story of the local area you are in.
Wow, someone who actually takes the time to look around, and not in an over caffeinated manner! I've started a dozen or so of these blind playthroughs the is the first that is actually watchable.
Man still never forget the feeling of stepping out into the Commonwealth after leaving Vault 111. The thing about Bethesdas games, is it like living a second life.
War never changes. A solid story. So much fun, can be a lot to take in but once you get into all the various mechanics (crafting, etc.) it’s super fun. Will be interesting to see what choices you make!
Also, if you plan not to fast travel in this one be prepared to spend A LOT of ammo and stimpacks. These aren’t like Skyrim random encounters. There’s stuff out there that can one hit you before you even see them.
This,and you would do Yourself a favor by using keyboard and mouse,instead of controller.Like OP said,FO4 isn't as forgiving as skyrim,you actually have to aim and hit enemies to get by.
@@randommaniac245Honestly imo FO4 is the only FPS FO that it’s an absolute necessity to use vats in a lot of situations. I’ve never had to really use it in NV or FO3
I really like the Fallout 4 style. When you wander alone in the wasteland in the beginning, you have to be very careful because you'll die instantly if you go too close to dangerous thing.
* Congratulations on the new Xbox. * Loved the reaction to events in the vault. This game does a great job of setting tone by slappin' ya in the face with it. * In this game, you've gotten a dog worthy as a companion. No need to lose your life stressing over Dogmeat. * You may want to make a trash character and run through the game up to this point (the tutorial stuff) again, as learning the controls and how power armor works will improve your gaming experience. You can also set up the controller to something more logical to you from the main menu if memory serves. Everything is quite intuitive, just different than you're accustomed to. Oh, and if you continue to shoot 1st and ask questions later, you may make fewer friends than enemies 😉
I once saw a player shoot all the guards outside of Diamond City. Made it difficult to enter DC. She had to reload a save to continue. As for good ol Dogmeat, Unlike FO4, he is mortal in Fallout 3. My Dogmeat was killed by Fire Ants...
Lots of things in this game are random. For example, when you first come out of the vault it's not guaranteed to be daytime. The clock starts ticking when you get unfrozen and if you take too long in the vault before leaving it will be night outside. It's things like this that give the world authenticity. I also love how the world doesn't stop when you talk to someone. Events around you can intrude when you're speaking to someone, so if you can, make sure it is safe before talking to them.
I cringed so hard watching her try to hit the second raider in the museum. 1:41:20 He was standing still, in one place, out in the open, shooting at someone else and it took her well over half a minute to land two shots. How is she going to get through this game? Yes you understand the concept. Now choose STUDY! "This is hard. Let me get out a pen and paper to write this down" 5 minutes later "I know. It must be SOLAR". FK!!! Nvm. Just made it to the minigun section. Holy heck. I dunno what to say. And after the battle ."What is with this music in the background?" You just turned on your radio! And "How do I heal my Dog? Here's a stim pack in your inventory, Dog" Yeah, he'll use it with his opposable thumbs. And she still hasn't even found out the Dog's name! FFS! He's going to be called "Dog" for the rest of the playthrough. This entire stream was so frustrating. How did she manage to turn on her console... Video should be titled "I'm so confused".
Pretty good for your first time - you did miss stuff, but I expect you'll catch it later. Some vague hints: Always take duct tape. Power armour isn't essential - I certainly rarely use it. It's useful here and there, but you can get by without it. Don't pick up all clothing, just items you want to wear. Unlike skyrim, it's rarely valuable. Pick up everything else, where you can. Even cups / mugs. You'll need them. Use VATS when you're shooting. I think it's LB on your controller. Easier and saves ammo. And you're finally heading the right way for Diamond City!
Nice, cool to see you taking on Fallout 4. I've just recently played this game... Again... For the 4th time lol. It's understandable to feel confused when first playing this game, it can be quite jarring. Especially when your coming from a fantasy game to an apocalyptic one with similar yet different mechanics. As for tips and advice; Much like Skyrim I would explore as much as you can, and speak to NPC's when possible, there's dialogue you could miss. Like Mamma Murphy for example, she had some unique dialogue that you missed prior to you getting the power armor. It's not a big deal to miss it, but it's always good to hear extra info. Healing the dog isn't essential per say, it just takes them out of the fight for a while, they don't die. You can inject them with a Stimpak when you're close enough, a prompt should appear. As for whether or not to follow Preston to Sanctuary, I would advice to follow them. When arriving they ask you to help out and it more or less serves as a tutorial for the building mechanic Fallout 4 has. Oh, just in case you haven't figured it out yet, caps are the currency in this game, don't be fooled by pre-war money lol. It's been fun seeing you tackle this game, can't wait for the next episode. Take care, Krista.
One of my favorite games! Hope you come to love it too. Just a tip to make battles easier...while in combat, hit your LB button to use the VATS system.
Mazel Tov on the Xbox and am very excited for this series!! Fallout 4 definitely knows how to exposit (and is quite the vibe right after watching Oppenheimer). A few heads ups going into the series: 1) VATS VATS VATS... Don't make the mistake I did and go several games before figuring out that you don't have to aim by hand 2) You missed the first chance to learn the dogs name: If you talk to Mama Murphy in the office before starting the fight, she tells you his name. Otherwise at the end of the first act you just magically learn it 3) Having a high strength and assuming all junk is worth taking is a good instinct to have going into this game, good job! 4) Fallout 4 is very good at using the whole 3d space. Enemies can be up just as easily as behind the corner. The environment can have a lot of control over how a battle goes, so as you play pay attention to how you can swing that in your favor 5) Every monster has a weak spot. Learning where it is makes stronger enemies a lot more manageable 6) The terminal minigame is basically Wordle without the yellow hints. You can leave and retry when you're down to one guess and it'll reset tries, but also the puzzle. Any pair of (), [], or {} on a line with anything in between them can be clicked for free to remove a wrong answer, or to reset your tries randomly 7) Game audio was really quiet, probably just a thing with your capture card volume. 8) I don't know if you're US or Canadian, but this game has a strong American Revolution aesthetic, being set in Boston 9) Good to know they still haven't fixed that bug with the subtitles during Sturges' spiel 10) You can play the game with almost never interacting with the settlement building, or you can double down. The better your settlements the more useful some factions are (won't be more specific cause that can be spoiler-y and the game spell it out pretty well) 11) Power Armor is good for hauling a lot of loot from one place to the other, or if your character is built around using power armor. It's a big bonus to strength, defences, and you don't take fall damage 12) You're smart, based on all your other videos. It can be overwhelming , but you've got this!
I joy it all, 😊. Specially the part, where was tell raiders were. Raider: Come down here , I have places to be!!. 😂😂 That crack me up. “ Stupid game “ Thank you Krista for that, - Tip- use Vats to system shoot first, and you’ll get use to it soon enough and you’ll be Gunslinger G!! in no time. Can’t wait for the next one..
What's great about fallout is the retrofuturist 50s aesthetic in 200 years after what we all know to be ww3, and the way civilisation changes in the aftermath. Feel free to play how you like, but know that the game has things to help you get through it, once you learn all that stuff it'll be much easier to enjoy the story at your own pace. Good luck Krista 🌕
Love to see new people playing this beautiful creation, one of the best if not the best post apocalyptic theme open world game, Amazing story and very realistic in attention to detail.
Hi first I always watch anything Fallout 1st time playthrough. I am so Happy my slight obsession lead my to your channel. From your humor to your frustrations and everything in between I was smiling all the way. Amazing content can't wait to see where this goes Woo!
It's an old vid, so I don't know if this will still help, but for anyone else... There is an easier way to hack computers. Look for any open and close brackets in the same column & line. Finding any open and close as a pair, e.g. ( ), or [ ], or { } either with or without junk text within (but not words), selecting them will either remove a dud password or reset your guess attempts. Selecting them also does not use a hack attempt either. It is something that makes cracking terminals much simpler.
I just finished FO 3. For the first time. Still have not finished FO 4. But I’ve played enough to know it’s a very solid rpg. Enjoy the new adventure !
1:37:59 - Somehow, you missed the V.A.T.S. tutorial. V.A.T.S. can help with locating, auto-targeting far off enemies and damaging closer ones. If the target is close enough.the system will tell your likelihood of hitting it via percentages. Damage received while using VATS will be limited as well. With the right perk, you'll also be able to identify which damage type every target is weak against, which type they can absorb and which type can actually benefit from. As with anything in the game you're confused about, just read up on the Help section of the Main Menu.
tip: most clothing provides some sort of buff to your special stats so look closely at the descriptions i didn't and got rid of lots of good clothing my first playthru hacking the computer if it only has 1 likeness only one letter matches so don't pick anything that has more then one matching letter also in between the passwords you can find parenthesis sets that can remove duds or restore your guesses
After watching Many A True Nerd absolutely beat not just this game but the whole franchise into a bloody meat bag, I'm excited to see someone play it with fresh eyes.

Likeness in the hacking puzzles shows how many letters are in exactly the right position. If SHOCK has a Likeness=0, then none of the letters are in the correct position. Therefore THROW cannot be correct because the letter H is in the second position in both words. With a little practice, you'll soon hack all the terminals.
I know I am late lol but this is adorable, I wouldn't get bothered by people screeching, it's obvious you're new to gaming in general but you're really smart at puzzles and stuff from what I've seen. I think most of the major hangups is you simply being unfamiliar or maybe just a little uncomfortable with controls like aiming and stuff, that can really mess with your physical perspective on surroundings. The more you get used to it the more you should find yourself honing in on your surroundings and such easier. You'll get past the phase of blasting people in the crotch. Try playing with the sensitivity in the option and practice aiming around until you get something smooth to your aiming proficiency.
Hi Krista. I really hope you'll go back to the roots of these series someday and try Fallout 1 and at least The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind. if not for streaming purposes, then at least to enjoy the writing. For someone who likes to read dialogue, both games are amazing with their writing.
You'll get better at those terminal hacking puzzles with some practice once you understand how it works. Also, you can always back out of the puzzle with one attempt remaining and then go right back in without waiting 10 seconds for the terminal to reset so you can try again.
I have a very difficult time controlling my frustration and restlessness when I watch new players play games, with the lack of experience with controller use and lack of knowledge on how to play, where to go, whether they can use things or not. Then I read the first comment about how someone had a totally different perspective while watching new players and instead of feeling frustrated that they weren't "playing the game right," they were just letting themselves enjoy the game the way the player is playing it. I'm definitely going to try to stop comparing other players to myself or setting standards and just enjoy the show, as the game doesn't have to be played a certain way. Thanks for the enlightenment.
@@galacticcaveman4045 I do. I admit I made mistakes and still do, but I know how to use the radar to figure out where I'm going and to know where nearby things are. If I'm going to stream a game, I'm going to practice using the controller or the mouse and keyboard to become familiar with the controls before I actually start streaming. I don't demand perfection by any means, but I do require a certain standard of competency. I would have to rewatch this video to figure out exactly what I was complaining about, as I've completely forgotten I commented on this video, but honestly, I don't care enough about this comment to do so.
I started playing this a couple weeks ago and also had never played a Fallout game. There is a lot to do no question and it takes a while as a noob to understand how nearly anything works.
Just as in Skyrim, you get to pick a perk when you level up. As you did in the early hours of your Skyrim playthrough, you're treating the perks as an annoyance. But you will miss out on cool improvements to your abilities if you don't pick perks.
someone probably already said it, but for beginner players: all fallout games, like skyrim, are games about collecting garbage, but fallout 4 is the most - because of the possibility of building and crafting. Collect everything you can pick up from the floor, but don't carry it with you everywhere - leave it inside the workshop. Some ingredients are always missing - for example glue and screws, which are needed to upgrade armor and weapons - don't use them lightly ;)
"I don't need a coffee cup". TAKE EVERYTHING, including your husband's wedding ring. Junk is made up of core material that you will need later. Coffee cups are made of ceramic, wedding ring made of gold, toothbrush made of plastic., etc. That core material is used to build/modify stuff. Pure water will heal 40 health points per drink. In the early game the water in the vault is your only source of pure water. Less than pure water will also heal you but give you radiation points (shown as red in the HP counter). Red radiation points take away points from your overall health, ie. HP. When building settlements you can build a cheap water pump which will give you pure water. On a larger scale there are also water purifiers. Pick up the meat from all the animals you kill or find dead. That raw meat contains rads. Cooking the meat removes the rads and you can then eat good food to heal your HP. When you get a chance you should go back into the vault and LOOT EVERYTHING. You obviously do not know how to aim a gun. Aim at the target and put the part of the target you want to hit immediately on top of (as in touching but not hiding) the center post. VATS is real handy for hitting moving targets. In VATS you can pick the part of the body you wish to shoot. Legs are a good spot to aim for if a target is charging you. You pick something up by hitting the "A" button. You just gave yourself an unnecessary shot of stimpak. Mongrel Dogs will be hostile to you. Mongrel Dog Meat, when cooked cures 40 HP. That German Shepard is the only German Shepard in the game. His name is Dogmeat and can be a companion to you. He will help- to a small degree and can carry about 150 pounds. He mostly gets underfoot just when you don't want him to. You seldom need to craft any kind of grenade as you enemies will have plenty and you can loot them from their bodies. Santuary Hills has one of each kind of work station. A radaway cures 300 rads. you just cured less than 5 rads with your only radaway. You are shooting at Preston Garvey on the balcony. He is a "Good Guy". With the terminal - TRACKS had 2 letters in the right position. Find another word with 2 letters in the same position as TRACKS but check also the words you picked with 0 correct. If any of those match in the new word then that is NOT the correct word. Look for another word with 2 letters in the same position as TRACKS. They words with zero matches are valuable as any word you pick cannot have a matching letter with the zero match words. Hold down the "Y" key to turn on the Pipboy Light instead of running around in the dark when no enemies are about. Put your target inside the crosshairs and pull the right trigger. It takes a second to spin up then it will shoot out a hail of bullets. The dog is on your side. During a battle is no time to worry about any companion. During the fight you need to worry about yourself. The companion can come later after you are safe to tend to them. And if you get pinned in a building and safe the companion may get well on their own. They will be out of the fight until they get back to you. Or they may stay out of the fight until you win the fight. With the Deathclaw in action, you should get in a building where you can shoot at this critter from safety. The Deathclaw can outrun you so you will have to hole up. Get out of the sui9t by holding down "A" and then REMOVE the Fusion Core. You are in your entire Inventory. You need to get into the third sub list (Aid) where your Stimpaks are. You could also put them on a priority key like the guns or radaway. The Vaultsuit will act as an undergarment. Loot all the bodies including the Deathclaw. Sanctuary can act as you main bas since it has one of each workstation. Just help the settlers with their needs then you will be free to go where you wish and always have a place to come back to. Park your power armor in the power armor work bench and REMOVE the Fusion Core. Check your inventory and see if you are overburdened. In the power armor you can carry 310 and Dogmeat can carry about 150.
I am dying watching her try to hack. Lol. I remember not understanding it when i first played. Good memories. The trick is to use the likeness to eliminate words until you only have one left.
For years I actually used sheets I made up that I could use to carefully figure out which word was the correct one through logic and process of elimination. Then one day I found out that you could simply remove dud choices and reset the number of attempts you have left. Haven't bothered to use the sheets I made since.
This playthrough is pretty good. However, if there is ONE thing that I could complain about, it's that you stall unnecessarily. More precisely, I understand stopping to read terminals and such things and I have no problem with that. It's just that there are parts where you are told to do something (i.e. "Get to the vault!") and it just seems to me that you take your sweet time. So much so, in fact, that I started to think that you were having issues with your controller. Anyway, I feel that it kills the immersion a little bit. Overall, I think you did a great job and look forward to watching other videos that you create.
You may want to go check with codsworth before heading off too far. There is a cooking, chemical station in sanctuary you will want to cook some food and make some psycho-jet and a good mele weapon befor adventuring off too far, have fun. ( you can’t kill your follower but you can make them mad, by doing something they don’t like and they will leave, but you can go get them again after they calm down.)
I don't know why, but as someone who has played this game over and over, and knows almost everything about it, there is something fun about watching you play it not knowing anything. I find myself, wondering, what is she gonna do here, there, next.
Third Best openworld i've ever played, and yes im still playing Skyrim and Fallout New Vegas heheh.For me, i love to explore everything, curiosity might lead humanity to success, sometime curiosity can lead us to doomsday lol....Meow
Some base clothing will allow you to stack pieces of armor on top of it, while others completely "fill" your clothing and armor slots. Takes a bit of trial and error to see what you can mix and match. Inventory management is one of the biggest pains in the ass of the game. Oh and never leave a fusion core in a suit of power armor unless you want a random NPC to jump in and use it. Friend or foe.
I’m so happy for you Krista. A great choice, for your next game. Think, as the Vats System as a super power,( is cool that way😊) but this game is so big that you’ll definitely get to do/explore more if you fast travel 🧳. Can’t wait for you to enjoy one of my favourite game, for I love to see how you react, to the game challenges in your unique ways ❤. Go on and be a part of Wastelands🎉🎉 Ps. Don’t forget to pickup your copy of the wasteland Survival Guide, 😂
She clearly understood the concept. Dunno why she needed to write the words down. 5 minutes spent analyzing it and she still picked the wrong one. How?
I started with the original Fallout and have played them all except FO 76. I do not like playing in multiplayer games. My socializing is limited to comments after watching a video. FO 4 has been my game of choice since it came out in the fall of 2015. I started playing when there was no one around to give out hints.
@@edmartin875 You might like 76. Calling it an mmo is inaccurate. Having played it myself, it's literally a single player Fallout game that just so happens to have other ppl running around in it. It's structured as a single player game, all the missions are single player, and there's only voice chat, which you can disable. edit: Also, it has better player dialogue than FO3 or FO4 with actual choices that depend on your build. It has better player choice than FO4, an actual single player game lol.
I find it weird that Codsworth isn't setting the carpet or grass on fire. That's heat coming out of the jet engine on his bottom, you can see the air rippling.
I am so confusd as to why she is so confused. She was told several times what the plan was, get fusion core, use it to get power armor, use that to get mini gun and then kill the raiders. Kirsta does every step until she picked up the mini gun, then spends 12 minutes standing on the building getting shot and repeating "Im so confused". What is the confusing part?
I am addicted to this game. Been playing it for a long time, at level 107 at the moment 😂. Wearing power armor is a good thing. It protects you, but you will have to repair it, back at the Red Rocket station. I’ve collected about 30 power armor suits lol, I keep them in my apartment at Diamond City. Oh my, you have soooo many places to discover and things to do. This world is huge! Have fun!
