General Fallout 4 Help thread
How the fuck do i fix my shit when i change my fov ingame to 90, my pipboy looks small as fuck
>>316509860
Right click when you bring up your pip boy.
Problem solved.
>Was able to play FO4 on release
>Windows updates while game is open
>Nvidia update after restarting
>can open menu and set graphics settings
>game "starts" but won't appear
this is beyond my comprehension, I can see the game running but it's not letting me alt-tab or fullscreen or anything
I've uninstalled/reinstalled, validated files, system restore, and nothing works.
>>316510430
tried running as admin, different resolutions, fucking with the .ini files, disabling Nvidia shadowplay services etc??
almost the same problem, but havent had the game running yet, just crashes immediatly on start up, giving the FO4 has stopped working error. have tried every trick in the book to get it to work
Are there any conflicting quest lines or can you do absolutely everything?
I just started, but I haven't found a trader to sell my trash yet.. Should I go for Diamond city, or is there a trader closer to Sanctuary?
>>316511172
Guess you shoulda waited for the retarded fanbase to fix the shitty garbage bethesda oozed onto your computer.
>>316511172
>>316510430
Going to just guess it's because you're not on windows 10, which the game was most likely optimized for.
>>316511390
If you start heading to diamond city, sticking to the roads, you should run into some traders.
>>316511390
There's a trader near the beginning of the game somewhere around but she only has like 200 something caps. Then again everything you sell in this you get terrible money back unless you spec in bartering I'm guessing so yeah. I just break down all my excess materials instead of selling them. Much more useful if you have the scrapper perk.
RAILWAY RIFLE WHERE
NEED AMMO FOR OTHER GUNS. WHERE GET CHEAP. FREE?
>>316511390
Go for diamond city, there's a quick key to scrap the junk in the workstation
>>316511601
>near the beginning of the game somewhere around
Can you be slightly more specific?
>>316511473
Thanks.. You mean mobile ones, like the caravans from NV?
>>316511732
Honestly don't know where exactly she was, once you talk to her she moves to sanctuary.
>>316511441
sounds about right
>>316511461
Thats retard, everyone I know is running it on win 7
>>316511707
Nowhere ammo system is broken
>>316511802
Guess you're just SOL then brah.
>>316511916
>ammo system is broken
>go to vender
>buy ammo for what I need
The fuck are you talking about?
>>316511916
NEED AMMO THOUGH
>>316511916
Between the .38, 10mm auto, 12g buck and fusion cells I'm ok.. I have a handful of .308 and .45, but not nearly enough to actually do something with.
>>316511172
you didn't try upgrading your operating system
i know it should work on 7 but i've had a couple games refuse to run no matter what i tried but then have no issue on the same hardware after launching the windows 10 upgrade
>>316511172
>tried running as admin
no dice
>different resolutions
tried the lowest resolution and one other, but haven't tried all of them
>fucking with the .ini files
pic related, I messed with Fallout4.ini and Fallout4Prefs.ini and turned off mouse acceleration, but then removed those lines. I also changed the values in the highlighted lines, but am not sure if those are the default now or what I changed them to.
>disabling Nvidia shadowplay services
never have shadowplay on anyways
>>316511461
I was able to run it before, so why not now?
>>316511732
Yeah one roamer and one in a shop.
retarded question but how do you connect power to all lights in a house?
>>316512171
>I was able to run it before, so why not now?
Well you said you downloaded windows updates? They probably fucked with it, I don't know I'm just spitballing here.
has fo4 been updated after release yet? I have v. 1.1.29.
>>316512171
Check your Fallout4Prefs and make sure "sD3DDevice" has your video card listed.
>>316512069
Go on easier difficulty and start melee, believe me
>>316512265
Yeah, you're probably right
just hope it's not a thing where I have to upgrade to win10
>>316512313
yep, it can detect my card
I don't understand how this game can look like shit yet run so bad. Especially the Indoors environments. What the fuck?
>>316510430
>Has minesweeper attached to toolbar
kek
>>316512638
this, it looks worse than skyrim at some points and runs 1/5 as well
The minutemen keep trying to give me new settlement spots. Why should I ever use those instead of just building everything in sanctuary?
>>316512596
Sorry dude I'm out of ideas.
You can use Dogmeat with the Lone Wanderer perk, probably the most overpowered perk so far up in any tree.
I set my x and y mouse sensitivity to be the same, but it gets utterly screwed when I try to use anything in power armour, is there a fix for this?
>>316512802
it's a relaxing game that I play when I know I should sleep but don't wanna
don't hate
>>316512898
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
thanks anyway
>>316510430
Try rolling your drivers back.
>>316513172
Delete the ini and the one in my documents, it will create new ones when you start
>>316509860
Jeez, Thomas, things really went downhill for you after Greenvale
>>316512853
Your settlements have a size limit, so it's best spread your shit around.
how many companion relationship levels are there?
i just got
> codsworth admires you
>>316513283
I tried that, but am not sure if I did it correctly
>>316513321
do you mean these?
>>316511707
Kill Raiders take ammo, Sell any energy ammo you get, invest in the scrounger perk, make a large farm and sell veggies every day, buy ammo.

>>316513764

Fallout4prefs.ini in fallout 4/fallout4
>>316513974
trying that now, it detected my settings and I didn't change them and went straight to play
same thing, but this time it doesn't want to "play"
when I change the settings in the launcher to windowed+borderless I can see the game running when I mouse over the icon
>>316511270
There are some conflicting thingsright now I have a quest from the Institute and I have to deal with the railroad
is there a console command that increases the amount of ammo you find?
>>316514352
when you click windowed and borderless buttons, resolution resets.

>>316514621
hasnt worked, tried every available option,
has bethesda announced any sort of patch for this!
it seems like a lot of people are having similar problems
I want to put the radio station songs onto my iPod.
How do I extract them from the game's files?
>>316514621
I'm not good with mods...
but! from what little I fiddled with, that it didn't change anything
is there a certain setting I should be looking for? I noticed the iNumHWThreads and that I have 4 cores available, but I dunno what that'll do
maybe the other anon is better than me and gets something
>>316515665
Did you delete the inis I mentioned?
>>316515665
Uninstall the game.
Then go to the directory the game is installed in and completely delete the folder.
Then Reinstall.
Anyone have one of "those" webms or gifs?

fuck, I gotta go to work now but I'll try that when I get back
thanks for all your help anons, hopefully there's another thread up when I get back if I still need help
Do weapon mods that increase critical damage also effect sneak criticals?
>>316518063
no because sneak attacks arent criticals.
You can only crit in VATS when you press space. Crit builds are dead
>>316519005
Thanks Todd
>>316519005
not him youre replying to but are you serious?
dont have the game yet but I knew about that bar you can build up in vats but I assumed that was just some type of special killshot thingy. didnt know that its only there because theres no more true critical hits.
pretty lame.
>>316519304
yeah no crits in 'free fire' just damage modifiers like legs/arms 75% torso 100% head 150% or some shit
Not the real stats just an example. Dont get triggered
Has anyone found something better to wear under their armor than the Vault 111 Jumpsuit? I'm level 26 and my armor rating is fine but I'm sick of looking at it, and I can't justify trading it with something that offers lower protection.
If I do all those brother hood of steel quests and start doing railroad or minutement quests will I be locked out of joining the institute?
>>316509860
Anybody know where I can find this dress? I wanna put in on Piper.
Also, on an unrelated note, is there any way I can access all my stored materials from any settlement in the workbench? Or at the very least how to build an armour bench?
>>316509860
>complaining about 90
I hope that's not as far as it goes, because 90 is pathetically low.
>>316520561
I think there's a perk that sets up a supply line between workshops.
WHERE IS ROBIT WAIFU PARTY MEMBER.
>>316520492
Yes you can. You'll get prompts when making serious decisions about other factions.
That difficulty spike doing the BoS questline
who the FUCK thought it would be a fun idea to have a super mutant shoot missles at you while you get chased by one of those suicide bombers.
>>316520567
You can put it to whatever you want in console commands, really.
>>316520561
6 CHA, Get the civil leader perk, walk up to someone with workshop active and hit Q. Must be a generic settler, not the named ones in sanctuary. Select another settlement you own. Their inventories are now linked.
Do you absolutely need 8 gb of ram to play this
i only have 6gb and this shit keeps stuttering really bad occasionally.
>Enter that one town that makes you take an entrance exam
>Piper disliked that.
What? What's she got against me looking around?
>>316520867
I've never seen it go above 4gb and I have 8.
>>316520785
Pick the kamikaze off with a ranged weapon before hand. It's a bright red flashing light it's hard to miss.
>>316512596
Would anyone recommend a 760?
I have a shitty 1gb raddeon from 2009
>>316511707
there is a scrap yard i think west of diamond city, it is filled with super mutants that will beat the shit out of you. there is a sniper on the top of the car tower and if you get into the house next to the scrapyard read the stuff on the computer, it leads you to a hideout and there you find the railway rifle (and what you see in the picture)
most traders have 10-20 spikes so always buy them if the have any the rifle does a shitload of dmg,
>>316511441
Why are you even here
>tfw new computers are over priced in preparation for the black friday retards
>tfw can't buy a new computer at a reasonable price till competition lowers prices from February to July
>>316511916
On a related note to this, I need lots of energy cells. I'm rarely taking on synths and I mostly use a three-crank energy musket, so I wind up going through ammo pretty fast. I just got the scavenger perk to up what I find in containers but I haven't explored since so I don't know how much it does. Can't really buy ammo either, 8 caps per round is way too steep.
Any other tips for getting cells?
>>316515665

Oh fuck that, I only have 2 and I'm not wasting points in a SPECIAL I don't care about. Anybody know how to make an armour bench? Can't seem to find one at Red Rocket, and that's where all my shit is stored. Cant be bothered moving it all to Diamond City or The Castle.

Playing on survival difficulty at the moment but getting fucked up in just about every combat situation. I like how quickly I get killed, but i'm sick of all the enemies taking 10+ hits to kill, is it just a hobo phase thing? Or is survival just unfairly unbalanced?
>>316521587
Not a rodiculous amount of time, it's a pretty small game in terms of file size. It's sitting on my Xbone at 28GB I think. Probably be done in 10 or so hours.
Where the fuck is the T51-b power armor?
>>316521587
>my uni has utorrent blocked

>>316521617
Does I need any kind of perk to build benches? I would check but I just came off and I'm not going back on again tonight. Also, is it even worth using materials to upgrade armour or would I be wasting resources? I already have t60 Power Armour I can use for when shit hits the fan.
>>316521465
go out of the garage turn left, turn left again, you are now standing in front of the armor bench.
like did you even once walk around the god damn house?
>>316520785
Use a single vats shot on the nuke of the Akbar.
>>316522070
I always find that shit hits the fan when least expected. I like keeping my armor somewhat good, but then, I'm also someone with 2 end and no survival perks, so armor is my only defense unless I get the drop on the enemy.
>>316522098
Uh, yeah, nigger, I can't find that shit anywhere. I checked the whole fucking area around Red Rocket and I'm 99% certain I don't have an armour bench there, which did strike me as super odd since every other settlement has one.
Can you not repair weapons anymore or something? What is that crap
>>316522424
maybe you scrapped it?
How do I completely turn off shadows and lessen the indoor lighting?
This shit is killing my fps
So how does gaining weapon mods work? If you scrap the gun with the mod you get the mod? Because just having it in my inventory doesn't give it to me.
>>316522523
That's probably it, ya know. I didn't know what the fuck I was doing when I first started out building stuff so I probably scrapped it thinking it was some junk. Oh well, guess I'll just have to build another one, it's not like I'm short on stuff. Does it require a specific perk to build benches or can I just do it given I have the right materials?
>>316522672
nope the mod&scrap system is retarded
if you have a mod on one gun and want on another you have to change the mod on the first one to something else. then you get the mod that was at that place in you inventory and can use it on the other gun. you cant just take all the mods of and throw the old gun away.
How do I get more wood fast?
Those "scavenge stations" seem to do fuck all
>>316522672
No, if you scrap an item it doesn't give you the mod, given one is attached in the first place. You have to build the mods with materials at a weapons bench. Also once you build a mod you can use it on any weapon the mod is specifically made for, without using up more stuff, so don't be afraid to experiment. They're not locked to a specific weapon.
>>316522935
Thanks, man that's confusing as fuck
>>316521968
What, they don't monitor the computer usage in your uni? Every adult learning facility I've ever been to has software and dedicated staff who monitor what the computers are being used for to make sure people aren't abusing the internet. Maybe I should go to a ghetto uni too.
>>316522606
You nearly got me.
>>316523020
There's trees fucking everywhere, just scrap the ones in a settlement area and there you go, infinite wood.
>>316523215
Please just help me
>>316523312
Todd already got rid of that for you.
>>316523312
Turn shadows and Godrays to the lowest setting possible. That's all you can do I think, you can't completely disable them.
>>316523257
nigga do you even build walls?
>>316523447
Yes you can, you have to manually edit it in the ini, just google it
>>316523404
I literally see shadows in game right now.
And anytime I'm inside with lots of shiny lights it completely kills my fps.
>>316523257
>infinite
>must use those around a settlement
That's fininite if you have ambition.
>>316523496
m8 don't tell me, tell the guy asking. I'm playing on the Xbone and it's been a great experience so far. That digital foundry video is total bullshit.
Is there a good way of farming resources for settlements?
Is their actually any decent looking gear in this game?
Is there a level cap or am I going to need to plan my level-ups?
Does Survival mode mean I need to eat, drink and sleep or just that enemies do more damage?
Seriously, can I just find more resources faster?
Do settlements ever actually get fucking attacked, I have a defense rating of 110 in Sanctuary and built a huge metal wall around the outside of the town but it seems pointless because it NEVER gets attacked.
how do i get more settlers?
im stuck at 13 even though i have more than enough food, water, energy, beds, defence.
Why is so rare for raiders or fucking anything to attack my settlements? Do I have to modify an ini or what
~ fov 90 just makes it go to 90 then defaults back to default when I exit console commands
why
Any fixes for broken quests? setstage won't work properly and i'm way too many saves to rollback now because i'm no savescummer

Why are you telling people about PC settings when you're playing console dummy
>>316523589
Wood and steel seem to be the most abundant materials in the game, I have like 500 of each. I'm never gonna use that much ever, especially considering I just keep collecting it when I scrap any items I pick up.

>implying he didn't die in one shot and gave me a shitty leg armour part
>>316524007
No, the fact you enjoy an objectively inferior experience bothers me.
>>316523704
You'll need to manually edit 3 files on your computer for it to be permanent.
>>316523645
Take more and deal less damage I think. And I'm not sure if the easier levels are different but there's an insane amount of grenade spam on survival, and enemies throw it even if the explosion will hit them. Also, harder difficulty = higher chance for legendary enemies to spawn. Legendary enemies drop randomized gear with randomized perks.
>fallout 4 starts up
>gets to bethesda logo
>immediately shuts down
what do
>>316524119
Inferior experience than everything set to the lowest possible settings? Nah, bruh, nah. I've seen people on /v/ running the game on settings which makes the Xbone version look fucking amazing in comparison. I've even seen screenshots at sub HD resolutions, when the Xbone and PS4 are running it at 1080p with basically ultra settings. If you have a good comp, then fair enough, you'll get your silky smooth 60fps experience, but many people from what I've seen are running it on complete toasters and would probably be better off with the console versions.

Can't tell if I picked a shit torrent, not in a rush, but god damn it's slow.
Anyone else noticed that you get an assortment of randomly triggering special attacks in melee when in third person and using heavy attacks against human opponents? Would be nice to get all that shit in first person, since some of them knock down and stuff.
>>316524497
The majority of people are playing it on higher settings than Xbone without the dips. All you need is a 750 Ti to beat consoles. The console versions of this game are fucking terrible and DF isn't the only place reporting it.
Where do I get stimpacks? I need them to fuel my murderlust, I seem to only ever have 2 or 3 on me.

After going to the institute the synths stopped being hostile, but I had to attack them in a quest for the railroad. Will they continue to be hostile forever?Everything is normal inside the institute, nobody hostile.
Just left vault 114 and I got triggered by the triggermen.
>I don't understand why they built this vault here
>because unions
How does an asshole know about fucking union problems two hundred years after civilization collapsed. He was talking about it so naturally you'd think he lived to experience it.
And that goes for damn near everything in Bethesda's imagining of fallout. It feels more like a few decades ago than two hundred years ago.
>>316524360
Why is it that every single problem I've seen posted about the game on /v/ always comes from the PC version?
In the main quest how the fuck do I get all the machines I build for the teleporter on the same grid? I have every single goddamn machine wored to every otger goddamn machine and Tinker Tom still says they aren't on the same grid.
>>316524703
I think the intention is that you play melee in third person since you admittedly need more spatial awareness for that playstyle.
>>316524745
Keep doing quests for the institute and they won't. If you keep doing things for the railroad they will be enemy's.
>>316523704
I tried changing the ini file to read only and it still wouldn't save the settings. Try "fov 90 90". That's the only thing that worked.

I sold 2 fatmans, 2 missile launchers, a minigun, and a lot of smaller guns
I have no issue with ammo
Cells also over 1,2k

>>316524721
take every meat you can find and roast it at the cooking station, this stuff heals a lot.
i currently have ~300 stimpacks mostly because never need to use them.
>>316524715
>Higher settings
The Xbone and PS4 are both running the game at mostly PC high settings though. I imagine they toned down the godrays and shadows slightly, but other than that the game looks great and believe it or not, it runs pretty well for the most part. I can't lie, there are points when the noticeably dips into the low 20s, but they're not at all common. And that stuttering issue on the Xbone version is utter nonsense. I've only had maybe a few stutters in 18 hours of play. Digital foundry are quite literally full of shit.
>>316524721
Any person or goul carry them
I feel like I fucked up
>want to build settlements
>played a 1chr character
>realize i need 6 chr to do a lot of things
It seems that when I order Piper to pick stuff off the ground she can carry infinite capacity, as opposed to when I trade stuff to her. Anyone else notice this with companions?
>>316521532
People said it was garbage, but I figured it would let you charge it up more. Throw a scope on it and it should be good.
Fuck super muties.
Damage sponge faggots who magically convert .38 auto pipeguns into anti-materiel machineguns with perfect accuracy.
Fuck 'em.
>>316525382

>>316525052
pls help me /v/
>>316525249
>there are points when the noticeably dips into the low 20s
A 750 Ti will run higher settings without those dips.
Regardless if DF is right about the stutter or not doesn't matter because both console versions are garbage regardless and that's undeniable, Xbone runs better than PS4 though

How do I build multiple power armour suits? I've got a bunch of armour parts but I can't figure out how to put them together. Not that it matters because I already have a full set of T60-b which is easy as fuck to repair, but I'd like a collection. Also I have a shitload of fusion cores and nothing to do with them.
Where to find a power fist?
Been using upgraded knuckles for the longest time
>>316525876
Swan in the boston commons dropped a legendary fist for me.
help /v/
I run on minimum graphics, tweaked plenty of .ini files to reduce shadows, tried smaller resolutions, windowed/border less, and tweaked some nvidia settings as well.
The strange thing is my CPU maxes out at 40% during game. I get 60fps when im not in a city or seeing structures. What gives? do I give up hope?
>>316525747
>Console versions are garbage regardless
High settings.
Full native 1080p.
Mostly 30fps.
For a game which seems to be taxing for PCs of all builds, this seems like a really retarded thing to say. What makes the console versions so significantly worse? I'd love to hear your reasoning behind this.
What perks should I go for first? I've got 2 ticks in scrounger, a tick in lockpicking, a tick i hacker, a tick in medic, and a tick in gun nut, but there's too much nifty shit and it's a bit overwhelming.
I miss skills, damn it.

Just run it at a lower resolution.
>>316526884
>tried smaller resolutions
I already tried that. It stutters and nearly freezes every time I see a structure. But when it's done stuttering its buttery smooth
>>316526782
Points in Toughness are never wasted.
>>316526884
running at lower resolutions doesn't actually help. It actually made my FPS worse
>>316526789
They blow up on a timer, so run away until they're dead.
>>316526692

It's not, it's a complete mix and you can't even match the settings on console unless you edit the ini

You didn't even watch the video

A 750 Ti runs it better, why are you just ignoring everything in my post and asking stupid questions?
>>316524867
Bumping this
Has anyone figured out if you can open and close vault doors with console commands? I know you can do it in fallout 3 but it doesn't seem to work in 4.
>>316526681
It's RAM. 100%. Lots of textures loading up. Keep in mind that Boston is a bit more top-heavy than the previous cities, i.e. there's lots of shit to load. \
I already have a 8GB stick ordered. Should have done earlier, to be honest. The 4GB era has passed.
>>316509860
any ideas how to fix the fucking FPS destroying interiors? I already tried godrays and shadow distances, it's a question of removing the retarded fog inside buildings which drops me to 20 fps
>>316527278
I have 16gb of ram, it doesn't help anything.
In fact, FO4 doesn't even use more than 4gb of ram to begin with for me
>>316527278
thanks for your response. If I may ask, what 8GB stick did you order? I agree with you, the era HAS passed and I need to upgdate that.
>>316527026
>4GB of RAM
There's your problem.
>>316527103
okay didn't know that, i either give them a headshot to collect the nuke or aim on the arm to blow up all the other mutants around him.
>>316527395
same as >>316526681
I think >>316527278 is right because I notice my RAM usage is at 99% when the game is running
I finished the Silver Shroud quest and saved Kent. He said he'd fire up the radio station when he is ae to upgrade my armor, but it's been awhile and he hasn't done kt. Is there something I need to do first?
>>316526692
You can't change the FoV is a good enough reason alone
>>316527395
Then clearly your issues come from something else. I've ran Afterburner extensively and realized that it's definitely the 4GB of RAM that severely bottleneck everything. In Sanctuary the usage hovers around 3GB, but inside Boston it damn near reaches 4GB. Pagefile bloats to 8GB. CPU and GPU don't even reach 50%. And Windows' resource monitor confirms that the lag spikes coincide with the game writing to the HDD.
I justbombed the fuck out of the institute for the BoSand all the characters in game are talking like I got a good end.
Even Piper the goody two shoes doesn't care that we marched in and blew up hundreds of more or less innocent, unarmed scientists because the institute is gone.
They institute didn't even seem that bad aside from the robot slaves.
How do you get more minute men quests? I wanted to beat them before I did the brotherhood of steel stuff but I don't know how to trigger.
>>316520642
I did this... items didn't show up at neither Sanctuary Hills or Red Rocket... Is it bugged for me or am I doing something wrong?
I couldn't find items in the workbench, or does it really only work when BUILDING items?

Nothing fancy. I may get one more down the line and my mobo only has two slots, so I went for 1x8GB. I also went for 1600mhz because I figure the stick might outlive my current PC so I'm future-proofing.
>>316525754
Bumping this. Someone must know. Am I missing a component or something?
>>316525754
you need to find random power armor in the wastes so you can use their "shell" to add parts from other armors, I dont think you can do it with just the parts
>level 34
>still haven't gone to the detective in diamond city
those side quests just keep showing up
>>316512193
You don't have to wire all the way to the light, just a pole near them
>>316528751
OK I might just be being thick here, but I still don;t understand what you mean. I've found numerous dead BoS soldiers, but it only ever let's me take the armour, never the frame which is attached to their body, which I assume I need to build the suits. What's going on?
Anyone else having a problem with talking to preston? I seem to have finished his main quest, where you get the castle as a base, but I can't seem to talk to him anymore.
I have him stationed at red rocket but he does nothing but harvest corn.
I can't initiate a conversation to get him to follow me, all he does is give me generic responses.
Wouldn't really care if I could kill him and take his shit but he's unkillable
has anyone posted the dupe glitch?
should i torrent this game now or wait 2 years for some of the bugs to be patched
>>316529238
You're right, I can't take the frames off their bodies too, but I've found 2 or 3 power armors with nobody inside lying around in the wasteland. One that I can remember is in the lake near Covenant, there's a full PA sitting in the bottom of the lake.
>>316528804
Congratulations, you're already OP as fuck for even the end of the main quest storyline. Well done, retard.
Where's best place to farm copper?
>>316529238
there are several places around the map where you find power armor just standing around, you need to collect those.
or, if you hate the brotherhood, you can sneak up to one of them, or any other guy wearing power armor, and steal his power core, that way he is forced to leave the armor and you can take it after you killed him.
>>316529238
You need a frame, that is what you actually go inside when enter the suit.
Frames can be bought from certain vendors for like 2k caps.
If you find a random power armor and can go inside of it you basically have a frame.
Just take it to a power armor crafting stand and you can add/remove parts of it.

>>316529719
Nah I'm just saying when you come to do the main quest line it's gonna seem like a total cake walk. You should have done the main story first (At least until near the end) while it still posed somewhat of a challenge, and then done all the other stuff you wanted to do, You've made it into a joke at that level.

2 things:

2) How do I get the unique plasma rifle (AX90 Fury)? It says the BoS quartermaster has it, but i cant see it in the shop.
Thanks.

the game became a joke as soon as i got the railway rifle and the laser rifle from that brotherhood paladin.
>>316530534
I've had it crash twice so far on the Xbone, both times within 5 minutes of each other when fighting the Mirelurk Queen at the Castle. No other crashes though, and I'm a fair way into the game now.
Anyone know what the glowing green area is out in the distance of the castle you take over?
>>316530534
I've done around 25~% of the game and it hasn't crashed in three days, would you believe that? (PC)

Power armor cant use power fists but you still one shot basic enemies when you punch them
That nigger Preston stole my power armor. How the fuck do I get him to take it off?
>>316530576
This shit pisses me the fuck off.
Do they even have rad child perk anymore?
Did you change both FOV functions? Or were you a retard and only changed the fps one?
My guess is that you're a retard.
>>316530762
>Glowing green area
Glowing sea? It covers most of the bottom area of the map.
>>316530948
I've had NPCs get into my Power Armour when we're attacked by Super Mutants, but if you walk upto them and press A (X for PS4, no idea for PC) your characters asks them to step out of it.
Pros
>gameplay feels pretty okay
>they fixed some graphical shortcomings from previous games such as light not affecting grass
>graphics are sometimes nice
>companions are pretty decent
>settlement building is fun
>weapon mod crafting is good
>I really really enjoy the soundtrack. exploring and even combat sounds great
>Diamond city is comfy
>the new cutscene-y dialogues aren't too bad
>huge modding potential
Cons
>story is dog shit
>roleplaying is nearly impossible thanks to the terrible dialogue wheel, samey choices in general, character backstory and main quest constantly making you sound like a whiny sad and angry dad
>quests generally very boring
>laser rifle sounds like shit
>the perk chart makes no sense at all, for instance barter perks only require 1 charisma and lonewolf 3
>critical hits being exclusive to vats mode
>graphics tend to be shit
>interiors are way too bright
>the entire legendary enemies gimmick feels dumb and out of place
>armor layering and upgrading is too limited for no reason
>>316531421
It looked kinda like a forest area with a constant green cloud over it like the random radiation storms, you can only really see it at night and it looks really far south. I tried to sprint to it to see what it was but I was cockblocked by deathclaws and Mirelurk Kings on the way there.
>>316530948

Leave power armour
>>316529550
There aren't any game breaking bugs, just the typical bethesda stuff that looks retarded. Pirate it now for a vanilla run and replay it in 2 years for modding heaven
What do the lunchboxes do? What is the point of those Monkey Cymbals?
>>316531878
It'll be the glowing sea. It's a part of the map which has a constant radiation storm hovering over it with some really tough enemies. There;s a quest in the main story which requires you to go right to the bottom and beyond, take your Power Armour though, it's a tough area.
Has anyone noticed that gore is disabled for certain NPCs? Seems to be the friendly ones
>>316532080
I think lunchboxes only let you craft bottlecap mines, but it's weird that it gives you notification for looting them as if they were anything special. I think the monkeys alert enemies.
Energy rifles count as non-automatic rifles for the perk right?
>>316530993
There's a high level perk which makes it so radiation actually heals you.
>>316532558
That perk was pretty useful in NV with mods that made resources scarce.
I had to drink heavily irradiated water out of a disgusting toilet to not die.
>>316532658
Sounds more like a personal fetish tbqh, senpai. Did you also have a mod which allowed a strapping young chad to stomp on your balls while you were doing it? Because that's kinda my fetish.
silky smooth
Has Bethesda ever even released a patch before?
It would be nice to get an optimization/bug fix patch, but I guess they need an extra billion dollars for that so they'll just let modders do it.

Lunchboxes give pieces of junk or consumables.
Usually it's a plastic fork or something similar, but it can give nuka cola.
Has anyone gotten half decent revenue from settlement stores? At the rate mine is progressing, I'm ingame months from breaking even.
I heard the formula is based off idle settlers, but I have no fucking idea how to make a settler who was already given a task to stop doing it. Nobody else seems to have a fucking clue either.
Am I doing it wrong? Are people making bank off these stores?
How do you repair broken pieces of power armor?
They have to be repaired before equipping them but you have to equip them to repair them.
>>316533389
I've gotten Quantum colas twice, and robot action figures.
Is there a way tokeep Danse out of his power armor?
>>316533406
Stores are there for you to use primarily. It's another source of ammo or weapons to arm your settlers with.
I need my weapon emporium desperately because flamer fuel is basically fucking nonexistant and my flamer is my only ranged option other than punching
>>316533452
Use the power armor station and you can repair them with T. They only have to be in you inventory or in the frame you're working on.
