So, when should I be using the power armor? I’ve got about five cores now, but I don’t want to run out of juice somewhere and have to make a long, slow walk back to somewhere I can leave it. Does it use power when fast traveling? ---

Fast travel doesn’t use power. ---

> [@Scumpup](#): > > How do I get a brahmin off of the roof of a house? At some point, Trashcan Carla’s pack brahmin spawned on the roof of the central house in Sanctuary. I thought it was funny at the time, but it seems to be up there permanently. Several restarts haven’t budged it. The constant mooing while I craft is annoying. I am loathe to just shoot it. Obviously a bug. Report it if possible. ---

I don’t know if brahmin tipping is possible in this game as it was in a previous game. This evening, I will craft stairs so I can get up there too and see if I can just push the damned thing off the roof. ---

> [@Tamerlane](#): > > Anyone have any idea how cpu-limited the game might be? My aging cpu is well under “recommended” specs ( i-7 860 Lynnfield ), my gpu is well over ( factory-overclocked GTX 970 ). I have an older monitor so I’m playing in 1680x1050 but my i7-860 @ 3.6GHz, R9 290X (4GB) and 12GB memory defaulted to Ultra settings during initial setup and runs flawlessly at its default locked 60fps. You can [remove the cap via the .ini settings](http://www.gamepur.com/guide/21111-fallout-4-pc-error-how-unlock-fps-add-add-219-support-change-fov-mouse.html) but I haven’t done so yet. In any event, the processor doesn’t seem to be slowing me down although I have mine overclocked. ---

I use [Raptr](http://raptr.com/) instead of personally farting around with settings, these days. It works well, too. It took a couple days after release for the Raptr community to supply enough data to optimize Fallout 4, but it was worth the wait. I’d been having some issues with stuttering and freezing but Raptr resolved them all. The game still looks quite nice, too. I should note that Raptr is centered around AMD graphics cards, so I can’t promise it will work on any other hardware. ---

Three or four days ago after I started up and hit the Continue menu option (PC) I got a video on “Luck”, about 2-3 minutes long. It was very entertaining. Since then I haven’t gotten that or any other SPECIAL videos. Anyone else getting these? ---

Hunh. So I found an upturned ship down south-east. The raiders were speaking Norwegian. I almost had to spare them, but then I thought of loot. ---
