We’ve kept them on throughout our 100+ hours of gameplay. You can turn them on or off anytime in settings. The first part of the game can be a little hectic and overwhelming and subtitles will be a calming presence.

Subtitles will help you absorb all of it.Īt the very least, we recommend turning them on for the beginning of the game so that you’re able to follow along as the story progresses. Enemies will yell stuff at you, NPCs will talk to you in passing, and you’ll hear conversations between NPCs. There’s also going to be a ton of background noise. It will probably take some trial and error, particularly for those of you that don’t play first person shooters very often. If that’s the case, go into Settings and increase or decrease the sensitivity until you get it right where you want it. Pay attention to your character’s movement and look speed in the beginning of the game. Some of you will be fine with Bethesda’s default but others might find it to be too fast or too slow. This is located in the game’s settings and it’s something that you’ll want to keep an eye on as you start playing the game. One of those settings is controller/mouse sensitivity. Once you get Fallout 4 downloaded, installed and fired up, there are a few settings you’ll want to play around with.

This could help speed up the download process. If there aren’t any problems, expect the entire process to take at least 20 minutes. We also recommend plugging your computer or console directly into the router if you can. We recommend checking in every few minutes to make sure it’s progressing. If you live in the United States, the download includes the full game and the recent 1.02 patch that includes fixes for many of the game’s initial problems.Ĭhristmas could prove to be problematic as servers get hammered with requests and perhaps, DDoS attacks. You’ll want to monitor your download (if the game is digital) and the installation process to ensure that everything goes smoothly.

The download for everyone on all platforms is going to be well over 20GB. Installing Fallout 4 on a PS4, Xbox One or PC is going to take some time to complete so you’ll want to be prepared on Christmas or whenever you choose to install the game.
