here's a quick tutorial on how to get overpowered right at the start of the game. simple as fuck, just thought i'd share.
If I wanted to cheat I'd just open the console and give myself infinite health, ammo and caps. But I don't really wanna do that because I'm not twelve years old.
>>316452781
>putting cheat codes on the same level as min/max
You people can be so retarded.
>>316452607
>>316452781
painfully obvious samefag.
>>316452858
What's the difference, you're just giving yourself infinite resources and breaking the game. There's no fun to it unless it's some really complex specific min/max strategy that's more fun to execute than it is to utilize.
>game scales to your level
>Feel the need to cheat up some armor anyway
I guess man
>>316452858
>min/maxing single player games
You don't need a guide to get overpowered in this game. They give you power armor almost immediatly at the start of the game. After you put that on, you might as well be immortal.
>>316453235
IIRC correctly it doesnt really scale. The farther you get from vault 111 the harder enemies become.
>>316453568
Until your fusion core runs out in the middle of a battle and you're fucked. Early game its hard to come by fusion cores as well.
>>316453568
I was honestly just baffled when one of the very first things I did in the game was get power armor. I mean, I'm still having fun with the game, but I thought getting power armor would be like, an accomplishment. And there's just literally no reason to not use it as long as you're picking up a couple pieces of scrap in each location you explore. Fusion cores aren't even a prohibitive item since you find them way faster than you can use them up
>>316453821
You're still thinking it new vegas/f03 style where power armor is an endgame item you are rewarded with. Power armor is its own mechanic now, akin to turning into a werewolf in skyrim. The armor you get is garbage stat wise, appearance wise and has zero mods on it.
>>316453821
I cant wait for the unlimited fusion core mod
>>316453731
Maybe I've just explored the right places, but I keep getting more fusion cores than I can spend. One core lasts a really long time too, I think sprinting is the only thing that really spends the energy.
They should probably not have given you regular power armor pieces at the start. Would have been better if the armor pieces were permanently damaged or some were missing or something.
>>316454358
>unlimited fusion core mod
You literally cannot use them faster than you get them unless you're using that eject fusion core grenade perk
>>316454393
well, you should get better pieces of armor, at least your using older t-45 pieces instead of t-60 pieces of armor.
im still trying to figure out how settlements attract new people, sanctuary only has like 7 people at it right now and i feel like its well defended and has food/water.
>>316454140
>The armor you get is garbage stat wise
You get over 500 damage resistance wearing just regular power armor. You really can't even die when you wear it, unless you specifically try to die.
I have found no reason to bother with regular armor, since the damage resistance values don't stack. Better to not keep it in your inventory to save 50+ encumbrance. Just wear your best +charisma clothes so you can just pop right out of the armor whenever you want to talk to someone or trade.
I'm still somewhat early in the game, so I really hope the enemies start getting tougher faster than I can upgrade the armor, otherwise there really isn't much game here.
>>316454615
I dont care i hate time limits
>>316454656
Did you set up a radio beacon?
>>316454656
Build a recruiting tower
>>316454684
Don't worry anon, you can find a sweet suit for t-60 power armor on an early BoS mission too, so when by the time the BoS officially gives you a suit of powerarmor, yours is way better
>>316454716
There literally isn't one
>>316453731
Fusion core just lets you use vats and sprint though, other than that the armor still works properly without one
Does the T-51 armor use fusion cores?
I wasn't super hyped about Fallout 4 to be honest, but playing it has really made me bored out of my fucking mind. All of the characters outside of Nick are terrible and the story, which is the most important part of ANY RPG, is ham fisted so hard that it's just abysmal.
The gunplay is much better, the graphics are pretty nice despite what people say but I can't grow to care when I'm literally falling asleep listening to conversations.
>in fallout 2 it was easy as shit to get power armor and an alien blaster nearly at the start of the game
>that was okay
>now it's bad because muh Bethesda
>>316454919
Seriously? So there's just literally no reason to ever not use power armor then
Why even give us the option at this point, Todd? Just have us start the game in powerarmor that you can't take off
You can rush the best weapons and armor in most Fallout games though. That's one of its charms
>>316454765
>>316454789
did that already, not that stupid.
>>316455161
its different because this leads you right to it via the story line
>>316455196
powergaming is different than the main story quest handing you them literally 20 minutes into the game
>>316455161
you didn't get those things as part of the second main quest.
>>316455179
> powerarmor would be some kind of life support machine that kept you alive those 200 years
Would like better honestly
>>316454919
You also move slower than with the fusion core in. It might not be a problem fighting shitty raiders or mutants, but I don't want to be gimped when I find a deathclaw or another bastard wearing power armor.
>>316454919
>>316455179
Wrong, once the fusion core runs out you run slow as shit and can't sprint, I guess if you never sprint or use VATS you're fine though.
>>316455161
>implying spoiled info/knowledge from previous playthroughs is the same as a main quest point that gives it to you
You're either retarded, or pretending to be. Stop it.
>>316455381
what kind of a poes uses VATS?
>>316455161
Pretty much sums it up
All fallout games are mediocre and share the same flaws. But /v/ is too nostalgic to realize.
>>316455248
Well then i guess no body likes you
>>316455473
this guyshould
>>316452607
This is a nice ASMR video. Thanks.
Someone give the OP a tutorial on how to not be a faggot
>>316455549
holy fuck was he using a controller?
>>316455652
No, you can see the keyboard button prompts at the end which makes it even funnier
>>316455805
He's using a track pad or theres something seriously wrong with his mouse
>>316455607
You have to be able to make fun of yourself to do this kind of thing. If you try to be too self-important you subject yourself to different king of cringe.
>>316453105
If it was a glitch like duplication or something, sure.
But this is just the plain, hey you can grab this strong armour right at the start of the game.
It's like in morrowind where if you know what you're doing you can get legitimate items that just break the game incredibly fast.
>>316455549
>that part where he pauses to switch to a melee weapon but goes back to the 10mm and unloads another 2 clips
Absolutely haram
>grenade button is hold left alt
>g key is unassigned
why?
>>316456198
Consoles limited mapping
>>316456115
>clip
>>316456198
You're one of those people who throw a fit if reload isn't R or crouch isn't C aren't you?
>>316456251
Since when do consoles have E and G keys?
>>316456305
No you dumbass, its having two actions assigned to the same key thats the issue.
>>316456198
>go to change this
>melee and grenade permanently assigned to the same key so cant even fiix it properly
>>316456305
no having to hold down a key to throw a grenade is silly and uneeded and having melee and grenade mapped to the same key is retarded even more so that it cant be changed
>>316456325
Are you retarded? They needed to map grenade throwing to the same button as powerhit and melee attacks baecause consoles have limited mapping options
>>316456198
someone better make a mod for that shit quick
>>316456305
Crouch should be control. I hate them mapping it to c.
Jesus fucking Christ you babies. Power Armor still has a sense of accomplishment with it with the crafting system. There's some pretty fucking cool upgrades you can give it that take time and resources to get to. If you got the armor much later one, these upgrades would be rushed or take so much longer added on. Now, to showcase the new systems, they give you Power Armor and a Minigun, which was considered end game level weapons and armor in the previous games, to show case how that's just the tip of the ice berg here. The armor can be customized and upgraded to be much better than it is. Modded and Legendary weapons are much stronger than the Minigun, although it too can be modded.
It's to showcase how things you thought were powerful in the previous games are not necessarily so now.
>>316456305
>crouch isn't C
Shit tier. Ctrl was always for crouch.
>>316456454
...well no one ever made a mod that lets the pip boy light have its own button in Nv/3 so don't hold your breath
>>316456412
i mean really why the hell would they do this?
>>316456412
so man grenades lost trying to stab motherfuckers with the bayonet
>>316455549
fucking hate these niggers
just pull out my sword and kill them its easier
What level will I be able to go anywhere on the fucking map? I'm tired of starting quests just to get to the location and get my shit wrecked by and entire army and dudes in power armor
>>316456618
exactly this
there are grade A fucking autists who don't understand this
>>316453573
>iirc
Cool niggernym, I'll have to keep that one in mind.
>>316456593
>>316456624
Ctrl for crouch, c for toggle crouch.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ANI6oj8p2M
is this the best new radio station song or what?
>>316456894
Except the end game weapons and power armor don't feel any different, they just do more damage or have better stats. It completely misses the point and just makes end game a stat value instead of actually feeling more powerful.
>>316455549
Boatflys are fuckers anyway. How can such a weak enemy be so hard to hit.
>playing fallout 4
>a fucking emission happens
jesus christ
>>316457368
> it barely gives any rads anyway
>>316457368
they arent nearly as dangerous as they should be. A minor annoyance even on survival
>>316457368
Get out of here vault dweller
>>316457458
a minor annoyance? they are not even that much the sky turns green and if you happen to be outside you take 5 rads max
>>316453731
Game is still easy as fuck without meme armor
>>316457368
what's that?
>>316457368
this
>just started, building some shelter in the middle of the road because fuck everyone
>blowout happens
>ah well, I'll just stand in my shelter then, roof on top and all
>keep getting 5 rads damage over and over again
where do I have to stand to not be affected? do I have to enter a building with loading times or what?
>>316457320
First of all, it's an RPG.
Second of all, what the fuck are you going on about? Modding weapons can change how the weapon works quite a few times. What more do you want, changing a sniper rifle into a rainbow blaster?
And for Power Armor, you can drastically change how they operate. From being a self administrating stim pack system, to built in stealth boy, or even a fucking jet pack. Seriously, go look at some of the upgrades you can give the power armor. There are some pretty cool stuff there.
>>316457851
It's not been for me so far aslong as you dont abuse vats and the broken carryweight
>>316458028
It's just someone who was on the F4 will be shit memetrain and is buttblasted thatF4 with mods will be much better than NV with mods
Hell im enjoying F4 vanila more than I am with NV
>>316458028
RPG doesn't excuse itself, there's different types of RPGs, if you want something completely stat based then why play a modern Bethesda game?
The weapon and armor mods don't have a feeling of progression that surpasses having a mini gun and power armor so early on like >>316456618 implies which is the whole point I was getting at. If you think so then whatever that's just where our opinion differs.
>>316458287
I'm having fun with the game but the pacing is just terrible, good thing that's only an issue if you follow the story missions. I just decided to ignore them with a new character until later on, still it's so fucking easy to run into a fat man and power armor so early on too.
>>316456894
>>316456618
Then why is it so fucking overpowered. There is literally no reason to ever unequip your power armor. Wearing it makes you unkillable in the early and mid game at least, and by the late game you have upgraded it so much that it's pretty much no problems there too.
You'd think I would at least have some problems playing a game I've never played before on the hardest difficulty, but I don't even have to use any kind of healing items while using power armor.
>>316454393
PSA I guess, here's how power armor works.
-Bonus melee damage
-No fall damage. Ever.
-Improved resistances for each maintained power armor piece
-improved carry capacity, not just a negligible amount
All those bonuses stay on even if you rub out of cores.
Drawbacks
-Core gets spent real fast sprinting and in VATS
-Out of energy? Move at overencumbered speed permanently, lose access to VATS.
Shit is good, spent upwards of 3/4 of my time in power armor now
>power armor
>not playing stealth character with silenced pistol
I was going to make a few different characters but the combination of the voiced protagonist making them all sound the same and the lack of meaningful dialogue options is putting me off. Just going to play the one Ubermensch like Skyrim again I guess.
>>316458904
>-Bonus melee damage
About this, is there any reason to get over 4 STR for a melee build ever because of this? Seems like the perks up the chain aren't worth it especially when you get an automatic 11 STR in power armor. Rooted and Pain Train aren't that good. Might as well put those points in AGI or END. I feel like starting the fuck over after putting 9 points in STR.
>>316459082
High st gives more damage i think
>>316459036
>not stealthing in power armor
>Rebind activate button E to something else
>E is still used in literally every menu
Bethesda are complete incompetent morons who can't even manage to test that one of the most basic features in a game works correctly
>>316459206
Even in power armor? If you look at your stats in power armor it's 11 no matter what. Are your actual values tied to the melee damage and not that?
>>316457368
Yeah, that was exciting until I noticed they're completely casualized to the extreme. You can totally ignore them.
>>316459303
Im pretty sure str is a multiplier for melee and maybe unarmed if thats not still end
>>316459441
I don't think you understand my question. I already know STR is tied to melee.
>>316452607
Without even watching the video I'm assuming you found the power armor very very close to vault 111 and sanctuary in that junkyard. The thing is the power armor needs the fusion cores to work (the cores don't last long) and you are not going to find enough of them to be able to stroll around without worry killing everything in your path.
>>316455381
They run out just by walking regularly
>>316459520
It's not power armor
I'm playing Fallout 1 right now and it's tedious as fuck. Where do I go? Go there, there are mountains. Go here, there are the same mountains. Oh no, a dozen of rats saw you, wait for everyone of them to finish their turns, now you can walk for 2 seconds or shoot once. Oh, also using the inventary takes action points for some stupid artifical difficulty reason.
Nice meme game.
>>316452607
i left it at sanctuary hills and never went back for it.
just seemed like a pain to lug around and keep track of. if you could dismiss or summon it at will that would be kinda cool but i like scavving and stealing and i'm not lugging the armor around. i can manage fine on my own wearing whatever clothes i feel like.
since i can see my character in dialogue now it makes me want to look /fa/ as fuck
Can your companion disposition towards you change after you gain their perk? Also does anything happen at the extreme bad end of disposition?
>>316459642
I'm playing Fallout 4 right now and it's tedious as fuck. Where do I go? Go there, there are mountains. Go here, there are the same mountains. Oh no, a dozen of rats saw you, wait for everyone of them to finish dying, now you can loot for 2 seconds or shoot again. Oh, also using the shotgun takes action points for some stupid artifical difficulty reason.
Nice meme game.
>>316459659
I murder most robots I find and have a good supply of fusion cores.
The power armor is worth the effort to maintain and upgrade. I only use it sparingly, though
>>316453573
It does scale.
The distance from 111 just determines how much it scales, and whether or not enemies will be above or below your level etc.
>>316459835
See those mountains? We spent half the budget on those mountains. You can't climb them, though. Sorry.
>>316455549
>WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
>BUT I'M SHOOTING AT IT
If i wanted to do stupid shit like this i\d just save myself time and put in a console command instead.
>>316452607
how do you make money in this game? i feel like i scavenge nonstop and still can barely afford shit. and EVERYONE is selling something, half the NPCs in Diamond City wanna sell you their shit
not exaggerating i've probably made less than 4k caps total in this entire game so far with a fourth of the map combed
>>316456642
It "worked" for Mass Effect!
>>316460081
You make most money from your settlements... trade routes etc.
Or so I've heard.
>>316460081
What are you, dense?
Just steal everything not bolted to the ground.
STEAL. EVERYTHING.
Anyone else feel like Skyrim is miles better?
Had no fps drops until I reached Swan's lake. Shit gone down to 5fps instantly.
>>316460193
no longer feasible since a bunch of shit that had no weight in FO3/NV adds weight now, like buffout and a bunch of other stacked shit. so basically 10 of something is 1 pound
so hoarding is actually a lot more difficult.
>>316460194
Tes was always a bigger and better game for bethesda. And its their own ip too.
I didnt like skyrim compared to oblivion but i still played skyrim almost to the end.
Downloaded fo4 and i couldnt. Playef 1 hour and i couldnt force myself to play more. Feels so absolutely shitty. I just wait for mods so i can play with a boner perhaps
The loading times are huge
On pc even. Just me or for everyone?
Sometimes i wait for 10 fucking seconds. Once it even took 1 min.
>>316452607
>Tutorial
>Less than 4 minutes
Alright clean and concise
>Half the video is apologizing for the video that came before
Jesus christ the autism.
>>316460194
little better yea but enjoying it
>>316456198
>pressing m quick opens your map
>pressing m again doesn't close the map
>have to go and press tab to close
I can tell if it's better or worse than the Skyrim UI, but it's fucking awful.
>>316452607
What the fuck is wrong with this guy's voice?
>>316460413
not really
>>316455549
How is it cheating if you're just killing a guy to take his armour
>>316461268
not to mention walking for 5 minutes without doing shit.
alright im in diamond city where is this pencil necked dweeb on the radio so i can stangle him?
>>316461017
darwin would be pleased
>>316452607
Why would you want to get overpowered at the start of the game?
Casual much?
>>316461017
Holy shit that'sCute.
>>316455161
In Fallout 2 you had to know what the fuck you were doing to get it though
Assuming you're talking about the vertibird plan method
>>316459659
you're gonna
shit like the Boston Library is just to bullshit without it or since everyone has unlimited ammo and grenades you can get FUCKED hard
>>316462350
I haven't had to use it yet and I don't plan to.
That said I'm not playing on survival
>>316456053
or, you know, like fallout 2, where you can just go grab adv power armor from navarro right off the bat
>>316462758
dont you need training first?
>>316462639
even on normal since they'll throw dozens of super mutants all throwing grenades with one or two with a minigun or a missile launcher
>>316462818
Pfft, whatever man. I'm sure my drugged up puncher will deal
meh
I thought he was gonna go find some Enclave armor or some shit
>>316462813
what? i said fallout 2, not fallout 3
As if the game needed any breaking, it's already a breeze (at least hard I'm playing on). I wish the game relied less on spamming healing items. I have like 300 of different shit in my inventory and have to use a lot in each fight, which is getting quite stupid. I wish I found 1 stimpack/water/meat/whatever instead of 10 in every location and they were more effective instead.
>>316461017
That's some next level shit.
>>316461017
This reminds me that almost no shooters have realistic bullet penetration. 2mm steel = RPG/50 Cal./Nuke proof what the shit??
>>316462173
There were couple of methods getting one in FO2.
Favourite one was stealing it from one of the BoS bunkers allocated at chinese district.
>>316453573
>If I remember correctly correctly
Anyone else on survival? Is it doable later in the game? I feel like I will run out of ammo.
