I've been using a wireless USB mouse for some time now and I wonder if anyone else has problems gaming with it as I do. It never fails that the mouse wigs out while gaming,not just Fallout but FarCry, Witcher, etc. The end effect differs from time to time but one common result is that the mouse buttons switch functionality. Go to the desktop and left click to open a shortcut (say to Firefox) and instead it thinks you did a right click and opens the properties window instead. This is just one end effect, there are others. It's not consistent. I've searched online for solutions but haven't found anything. About to get myself a wired mouse again and try it for awhile and see what happens. Tired of having to save my game after every little action because I know at some point the mouse is going to wig out and I don't want to have to redo everything in game again. Can't always keep that in mind and I have lost building an entire house in a settlement and outfitting the rooms and....poof...gone because of the damn mouse. So, anyone else with this issue?

jkruse05 I will check out those mods. I don't like the idea of spawns in the middle of my settlements. There is no logic in that. Might as well be playing Skryim, with magic I can understand it. But unless they come down in a whirlybird I should be able to defend my territory from attacks as any competent commander would. As for taking the food and water out of my workstation...I don't know. I don't mind attacks. Just don't want them starting inside my defenses.Thanks for the info guys. I think I will do walls and with those mods everything should be fine. I hope. I don't want raiders trampling my gardens in Sanctuary LOL

Hi gang, What are your opinions on building walls around your settlements? I've heard conflicting stories on attacks. That even with a high defense attacks occur, but others say not. That they spawn inside so walls are useless. Now, I've never seen an attack not come from outside the settlement area so far. But without a firm handle on it, I hate to use the resources to build said walls. They use a lot of wood, steel and/or concrete which I can use in more useful ways. Are Bethesda Hypocrites? LOL ...I mean Megaton and Diamond City and many other major areas that they create themselves are heavily fortified. But we can't do the same??? Just curious. On this play thru I am ready to fortify Sanctuary but not so sure it's necessary.

I do use adblocker and noscript after spending more than a week trying to get rid of a pesky Google Redirect that installed itself through a nasty script attached to an advertisement. That wasn't the first time I've had to do that, but so far, it was the last time. This little bugger passed by my antivirus's scanner too so thus the added protections. No matter how diligent a site may be about their advertisers, there is no practical way for you to insure every ad is bug free. This also relieves my frustration levels with two types of ads that drive my insane...auto start videos and pops ups. I can understand the need for revenue but too many sites have gone so completely overboard that it gives us surfers little recourse if we wish to browse the web in safety and in peace. Never really think about turning them off on a per site basis. But, I can do that here as long as the advertisements don't bother me with auto-start videos or pop-ups. Otherwise, they come back on. I think, in the years that I've used this site, I've endorsed a few mods. Not many, mind you, but a few. The problems with endorsing is A) I downloaded, installed, and use the mod but at this point never think anymore about where it came from. B) I downloaded and installed the mod but never used it as it conflicts with another mod. C) I downloaded and installed the mod but never encounter it in the game as everything goes to crap and I have to reload the primary game and start fresh and this time around it doesn't get included. I have no problem with endorsing, just needs to be more convenient. Once I use a mod and know it's worth endorsing...there's the problem of coming back here and tracking down it's page. The use of Nexus Mod Manager should make this easier and I'll try to remember to endorse for those I use and like. :)

Hi gang, Was just talking with a friend of mine about the game and was describing how bad I felt when killed a fox once. It was so cute and I just felt bad that I had killed the poor little guy for his pelt. Made me think though, be cool mod to make. To be able to skin them and then mount them at a house or what have you. Be just the thing for hunter types. To show the 'world' their accomplishments LOL I got armor mannequins all over my place in Winterhelm. But would be cool to display foxes, moose, sabre cats, wolves, etc. Know of anyone who's working on such a mod or has made one?
