Should I buy Fallout 4?

So, title?

For a start - the question is whether my PC will run it (I'm fairly sure it will, but I'm not sure how well).

Spec -
- AMD Bulldozer FX-4 Quad Core 4300 4.0Ghz
- 8GB DDR3 RAM
- ATI Radeon HD R7 (l keep meaning to switch this out, as I have 2 better graphics cards lying around)

So, fairly sure it'll run, just a question of how well. Apparently it's locked at 30fps, so that probably boosts the settings I can run it at. Graphics aren't a major stumbling block, they generally don't bother me, but I'd like to run it quite highly without blowing the PC up, if possible.

Secondly, some of the content I've seen from the game already has looked insane, and for £40, I think I'd be nuts not to pick it up. But some part of me wants to wait a few weeks until they've patched the inevitable issues, whereas the other wants to just get started on it!

Finally, I've got so much other stuff to play before I should consider buying more. Just in the last few months I've picked up a bunch of games to finish -

- Dynasty Warriors 8
- DBZ Xenoverse
- Still need to finish Borderlands TPS DLCs
- StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void is out tomorrow, and I've already pre-ordered that
- New Hearthstone expansion last this week that I'll undoubtedly pick up
- Still a bunch of stuff to do in Fallout 3 too
- Need to get in to Overwatch at some point too, as that's looking great
- This, plus the obvious consideration of whether or not to pick up Black Ops 3

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Though I reckon I'll probably ignore any advice and buy it anyway

Apparently they broke a record for non-Valve game being played concurrently.

Previous record was 360,000 for GTA V - Fallout hit 445,000

You have to place a wall type with a hole for a door. Then you place the door in the space separately. I found it pretty simple

So, while I was slacking at work today, I stumbled across a list of names that are accepted by the system, and that will be read allowed by certain NPCs - in my case, I was called Jay, obviously.

Looking through the list though there are some fantastic names! You can call your character fvckface and it'll be read out

Huge list of accepted names, mind.

There is a version of that in fallout 4 which i have found to my doom. Even worse than cazadores imo
