First the elevator music stopped, and I wondered in the silent, claustrophobic space if this was a spooky twist. Inside the 4-by-4 box, I waited for the door to open, my gun ready. With another floor cleared, I caught my breath, healed my wounds, and called for the next elevator. I popped the heads of super mutants on the first floor like they were bubble wrap, then took an elevator to the middle of the tower, where I blasted the limbs off a few more baddies.
The crust of Fallout 4 is enjoyable, but I was ready for something more challenging, so I hiked east toward a side quest, something involving a man imprisoned atop a tower full of super mutants. I eat the crust first in open-world games, grinding my stats and finding overpowered weapons before taking on the main missions. Nine hours into Fallout 4 I found myself stuck inside an elevator.īy this point, I had built a bond with my character along with a respectable inventory of items, most notably an automatic pistol with a bottomless magazine. I was quick to judge Bethesda off their buggy past, but it appears they'd already fixed my problem.
In either case, be sure to download both the games' Day One patch, update your system manually, and restart the console before playing Fallout 4. Now the elevator works properly - though oddly enough, the music mentioned in the earlier draft of this article never plays. A new system update downloaded, and rebooted the console. Update November 9th, 5:00PM EST: After fussing with the game for an hour and checking to make sure it was updated on patches, I checked my PlayStation 4 for system updates.
