When would there ever be fucking scorpions in Boston of all places??
and why are they so fucking annoyingly creepy?
I would imagine that giant scorpions would be a pretty invasive species.
>>316592840
are you implying that scorpions migrated over the rocky and appalachian mountains for no reason?
>>316593007
Maybe
I can't wait for the mod to replace them with mole rats or whatever, they're so fucking irritating.
>>316593007
I imagine they probably came from the southeast since that region wouldnt have to work around the mountains.
You know what I want to know?
Why the fuck when you hack into a door to unlock a place that's clearly not been touched for 200 years can you still find a fucking mutant bear inside?
>>316592586
>Scorpions are found on all major land masses except Antarctica. Scorpions did not occur naturally in Great Britain, New Zealand and some of the islands in Oceania, but now have been accidentally introduced in some of these places by human trade and commerce.[4]:249 The greatest diversity of scorpions in the Northern Hemisphere is to be found in the subtropical areas lying between latitudes 23° N and 38° N. Above these latitudes, the diversity decreases, with the northernmost natural occurrence of scorpions being the northern scorpion Paruroctonus boreus at Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada 50° N.[4]:251
I wish there were Nightstalkers in Fallout 4, both rattlesnakes and coyotes live in the boston area, and they could easily have spread there over the couple decades since they were released into the wild.

motherfucker all they had to do was port it reee
>>316593474
They have their own model and animations.
Don't fool yourself. No one actually wants to fuck around with a billion ammo types, and be forced to carry around a dozen weapons because of loot list ammo being spread thin.
That shit was awful in CALIBR and it'd be awful here.
>>316593274
Nah fuck that. Personally I haven't seen more than maybe 5 radscorpions in about 20 hours of playing. Molerats are practically non stop which would be fine if it wasn't for the fact that they suddenly emerge, walk towards you, go back underground, emerge behind you, run away without doing anything, then emerge behind you in a loop until you kill them.

>>316593760
Then please tell me what the FUCK I'm supposed to do with all these .38 AMMO I CAN'T FUCKING USE BECAUSE THEY'RE SHIT.
Fuck you for not wanting the ammo systems from NV to return. You are literally the cancer. At least with the ammo crafting system you could use the useless ammo types you didn't need and make something useful out of them. You can't do shit with .38 ammo in fallout 4 except drop it.
>>316593760
>carrying around dozens of weapons
>not carrying a primary, maybe two, along with a sidearm, melee and explosives at most
>not carrying a main ammunition type and keeping a few mags worth of specialist ammo just in case
streamlining things isn't always good, being able to make a choice to prepare for situations was far better than just buying more ammo imo
>>316594398
Fallout 4 is for the Fallout 3 audience, and thinking makes their wittle heads hurt.
>>316594206
.38 is not useless
just make some rapid firing pipe gun with lots of mods
>>316593760
why isn't it attacking?
>>316594206
Sell it. 1 cap per bullet. Same as all the useless ammo types you'd never use with CALIBR.
>>316594398
>be forced to carry around a dozen weapons because of loot list ammo being spread thin
Come on man, read the post. Being able to use a single primary and secondary is a result of not having a billion ammo types.
Constantly scrounging and fast traveling to merchants for the one good ammo type isn't fun.
Not even in a wasteland scavenging sense. It's just tedious.
A better question, why is the fucking digging noise like a gunshot.
>>316594663
because it just works
>>316592586
>and why are they so fucking annoyingly creepy?
Holy shit this. I'm not normally afraid of scorpions but the ones in Fallout are just creepy as fuck for some reason.
>>316594663
Yeah mine do that too, if you walk into them they will attack you, otherwise they just dig around but never move on the surface.
I know someone already cut/pasted the wikipedia information, but holy shit, do people not know there are Scorpions where they live? Right now?
They're thin and hide anywhere you have that's dark, like, inthe cupboard under your sink in your bathroom for instance. They're in there. Pretty much anywhere you can see a spider, you can see a scorpion.
>>316594206
Yeah the FO4 ammo system is shit, they made basic ammo that was in abundance in the other games so goddamn difficult to find. New Vegas is still the best, hopefully they give this engine to obsidian and let them make another west coast based game
>>316593007
A lot more sensible than the current theory on how monkeys ended up in south america. That a group of them floated across the atlantic on some debris.
How come that Jet is suddenly a pre-war thing?
>>316593007
Now I want to play a game about a scorpion journeying across the mountains.
>>316595763
Because bethesda just doesn't care.
I bet they don't even know it's fucking Jenkem.
>>316592586
There was some bullshit in fallout 3 about how all the scorpions descended from a single pet store.
>>316595945
Probably not.
>>316593474
>eated like fucking magical weapons with enchantments
this annoys me alot, it made sense to have ammo being "echanted" but when the guns themselves are "enchanted" that's just fucking dumb. makes the game like some gay mmo, fuck that noise. i hope there is mod that undoes this shit and makes ammo types.
I miss durability
I miss being able to repair my guns with parts of other guns
Did they seriously not introduce ANY new enemies in this game?
What have they been doing for the past 7 years?
>>316595763

You've got to be fucking shitting me.

>>316595763
>>316596045
I may not remember everything about the older Fallouts, but I could've sworn Jet was a New Reno thing. You know, west coast and post-war sort of a thing.
>>316596414
and the synth things
even though there was a synth in Fallout 3, they weren't a commonly-found enemy. In fact, there were only two synths in the entire game.
>>316596414
If you consider straight from New Vegas Monster Mod new, then yes they are new

>>316597506
No, anon, I'm not in favor of lore rape. I argue because the vast majority of the time, people crying Lore Rape are wrong bandwagoners and no lore rape occured. Usually about the Brotherhood of steel in FO3.
But I'm perfectly willing to accept and condemn actual errors like this one.
>fighting a deathclaw on a rocky slope

>deathclaw decides to walk a long path around
>when it finally gets to me, jump back down
>it takes the long path back down

>>316597424
It's not necessarily lore rape, they just need a good explanation for it.
It's not like they evolved a permanent anti-camouflage when mutating, they may still have chameleon skin that is useless due to their size and armor or something like that.
>>316597641
It's like I'm really playing any bethesda game since Morrowind!
>>316597506
Not that guy, but retcons are pretty typical in all long-running stories. It's even more likely when they literally bought the property from others and want to do their own thing with it 10 years later. The real issue is that if they're going to do it, they should have just done a real reboot instead of actually naming their first title Fallout 3.
Keep a huge stock of pre-war money and junk rounds as currency for ammo so you can buy out vendors every few days. Both have no weight and quickly add up to a lot of caps.
Honestly the bartering is one of my favorite elements of the new Fallout games (don't ask me why) and I've not had an issue keeping big ammo stockpiles so far. It's like they give you all the .38 rounds specifically to trade them for anything else.
>>316597438
Mr Zimmer and Zimmer's guards were both Synths
>>316597639
Vertibirds never saw any use until the Enclave put them into production
>>316597639
>I am not about to believe there weren't VTOL's before the bombs, that's silly.
Well, the lore says vertibirds were prototypes before the war that saw limited use, so they were around and then the enclave made more.
Nothing supports or denys other VTOLs existence.
>>316597981
I have around 450 pre-war money just because I want to fill a bathtub with money.
>>316597696
never said it was rape lore, it's the small things they implement and forget to give more info on is what bothers me. like why can the first deathclaw you encounter roar? they don't even have vocal cords.
>>316592586
>When would there ever be fucking scorpions in Boston of all places??
Probably from pet stores.
>>316597929
But it's inexcusable even if expected. They have forums, previous developers, every asset at their fingertips to not make these mistakes and then they make them anyway.
One message to NMA autists and they'd literally do it for free.
Sometimes creators forget shit, it happens, but on a project like this? No excuse. Just laziness and a disregard for the world their attempting to add to.

To be fair it could have just learned to mimic Yao Guai roars or something to intimidate shit since they can mimic speech and noises pretty easily.
But, once again, I doubt Bethesda know that Deathclaws lack vocal cords.
>>316595945

They must be super good at hiding then. I've never seen a scorpion irl except in a pet store. I don't think that they're not around here, it's just that I've never seen one.

>>316594398
But that's what I do in FO4, fucknut. I have the perks for pistols, automatics, and non-automatic firearms. For close engagements I have my 10mm and 44 mag. For armored enemies I have my 45 combat rifle. For Long range and high level enemies I have a lazer sniper rifle that deals a shit ton of damage. And for ghouls I have a full auto combat shotty with a modifier that does an extra 10 damage as plasma damage.
>>316594663
The AI in the game is really bad. You also get into a lot of scenarios in which they crafted a little arena where the "boss" very clearly doesn't know what to do.
If you fight Swan you can just walk around the fence a few times and he loses his shit. If you fight the Deathclaw in the witch museum and you can stand in any doorway and he doesn't acknowledge you. Even the Mirelurk queen won't attack you if you stand inside the radio tower.
What exactly would Jet do in the Fallout story universe, not from a gameplay perspective.
>>316599315
>You can only get his android component by killing him. That's the joke, that he thinks synths are mindless machines that don't need sympathy when he's one himself
Huh, possibly. There are plenty of items that aren't inside of people that you can't steal in the game though.

No shit Sherlock. As for the AI as a whole, it isn't bad. I've only seen four or five major AI fuckups and I've got like 30 hours in the game.

>>316600191
>>316599503
I went into that part fairly early in the game. I ran out of the castle back into town and used the buildings as cover for her acid spit. I poked my head out and kept throwing frag grenades at it every now and then and after a long battle (and a shitload of those little spawn things holy fuck) I won.
Then I had a bit of a crisis because I used up all my ammo and stimpacks on that and I had to make do with shitty guns.
I have to say for someone that was born and raised in Boston this game really makes me disoriented.
>Get to Park St station
>One step away from Public Garden
>Which is right around the corner of Old State House
I mean I know they can't really make it 1:1 but as someone that walks around Boston all the time it really fucks with you.
>>316592586
Because when Bethesda were making Fallout 3 and 4 they just lifted things from 1 and 2 without any thought, that's why there's things like giant scorpions in the east coast for no reason
>>316601285
Imagine dealing with DC.
I'd like to see what they'd do to New York City.
>>316601042
That acid spit was fucking hell. I didn't even notice it destroying my HP until it was less than 10%. With the way radiation works now, I almost never have a full HP bar
>>316601393
Yeah hear DC got fucked over. The problem I think is that Boston has way more landmarks than even DC so seeing tons of fucking shit that should be miles away in just a few steps away really messes with me.
>>316601285
Going to DC after playing 3 was an experience. Especially the metro tunnels. People bitched how the tunnels all looked samey in Fallout 3 but when you get there that's how they ACTUALLY look. Gave me an eerie feeling.

Scorpions are arachnids. If you don't like spiders, that's probably why you don't like scorpions.
