So, why exactly couldn't the old general get out? The door on the right leads straight to the surface, where there's a door to outside of the castle.
>>321255584
Stop asking perfectly logical questions.
>>321255584
Mirelurks.
He drank himself to death rather than deal with Preston's bullshit.
he locked himself in so he didn't have to do radiant missions anymore.
>>321255584
Shut up, dreamboy.
its funny cuz sitting there and starving/dehydrating to death was probably far worse than at least trying to escape the mirelurks
>>321256049
Exactly. Why would you choose to wait to starve to death, rather than attempt to sneak out?
>>321255807
Help us wanderer, go pick a lock or hack a terminal to get a power core.
Nope none of us have the skills to pick a fucking baby level lock. Not even Sturges who is a fucking engineer that can build a teleporter. None of us know how to hack terminals either, we didnt even bother.
Oh you got the power core, well go on the roof and go into the power armor and grab a minigun and kill raiders. I obviously cant do it. Even if you refuse you still got do do it faget.
>>321255807
>>321255865
desu, I'd do the same thing.
I spent way too long doing those thinking, "he's got to run out of quests eventually right? I just want to clean out my log."
>>321256307
Sturges was just being a dick, he could have easily did it himself beinga synth and all
>>321255584
Because you needed to power up the Castle and that door only opens from the inside when locked down. Also he was under the impression that there were Super Mutants attacking since he heard the walls cave in and assumed Behemoth on his terminal. He didn't want them getting into the armory where he was trapped.
>>321256317
oh you poor sod.
I gave up trying to clean out my log long ago when it was clogged with bugged quests, repeatable quests and just rushed to finish main questline, because I got so fed up with the soulless garbage they kept feeding me. "Oh go install a dildo in this raider/super mutant/ghoul/ mirelurk base and Ill pay you 200 caps." Tthis settlement you already helped needs your help again clear out the ghouls from Shitfaggot station once more.
>>321256429
What, he was, never knew that. Fucking Danse came as a surprise too.
>>321256747
the "help this settlement" part was horribly implemented.
God damn it Abernathy, I've built walls, turrets, spotlights and enough settlers well armed in your farm to max, how the fuck does your wife and daughter keep getting kidnapped? or why are you worrying about some feral ghouls that across the fucking map?!
Is Preston the worst Fallout character ever created?
>>321256429
Sturges built the teleporter for me with no issues, and used the data I got from the Institute worth no issues.
What was the fucking point of him being a synth?

>>321257957
Settlements was a big waste of time and resources. Other parts of the game clearly suffered for it. I just hope the DLC doesn't involve more settlement crap.
>>321257642
Cut content or maybe DLC. It's not important because it never comes up, ever. Might make you a bit more suspicious of him near the beginning but he's clearly a mindwiped runaway instead of a sleeper agent since there's no mention of him on the institute's spy reports.
>>321258115
No because you'll still have to fight your way into certain situations and also cause some big explosions that will definitely kill people.
But if by "pacifist" you mean "personal army" it's pretty doable. Just tame everything you can. Beasts, mutants, people. Minimizing Fast Travel might end up being a bitch but it shouldn't be hard to regain your army.
Nothing in the institute casts a shadow
>>321258729
Because everything is fucking glowing, what the shit is this?
>>321258729
and I still get FPS drops in there
>>321258729
Gamebryo can't into shadows well, or anything well. Your frame rate would just drop severely
>>321257957
I wish the people in the settlement would go out and find junk at least. I'm always in desperate need of adhesive stuff.
>>321258910
You can make settlers go out and scavenge. I don't recall how, though. I just use a mod to get infinite resources, because collecting junk should not be the focus of Fallout.
>>321255584
If anyone is wondering why the game requires rediculous hardware as minimum, gameworks. gameworks games are the only games where the minimum requirements are ridiculous. I removed the ini's and got almost double the fps. Nvidia is actively destroying the pc platform.
liked him more before he became a generic radio host
>>321257342
Agreed, that was such BS.
Also there wasnt that much enemy variety in the game, it was either Raiders, Super Mutants, Mirelurks, ghouls or synths.
If a game has that many locations I atleast want them to be different in both enemy spawns and story.
One of the most memorable dungeons was the mayors office in the left border of the map. They didnt shove enemies in your face and let you focus on the environment and its story. A mayor fucked up killed himself in the bathtub with a toaster. The story gradually reveals what happened to his family as you descend into subterrean levels. Once you have explored the whole facility they shove synths into your face(which is unnecessary but better than having enemies from the start). Theres also a deathclaw in a nearby cave system. Also glowing sea was one of my favorite places since it wasnt oversaturated with shit.
>>321258148

>>321258910
Build scavenging stations, I've tested it and yes, they do deposit scrap.
I have like 4 or 5 settlements with 25+ people. Typically, I have 4 people farming, 1 person doing a guard route, 1 on a supply route, then if I can fit them, 20ish scavenging stations. It's almost broken that you can have a scavenger settlement that's connected to the trade hub.
>>321259384
>why wouldnt you want the settlement building to be fleshed out more?
Because it's not Fallout. If modders wanted to add settlement building then I couldn't care less, but Bethesda wanting the minecraft audience and adding building at the detriment of everything else is something I do care about.
>>321257565
yes. How the fuck did they create such a bland character.
>>321259298
Me too. I think in his generic radio host bit he only had 1 moment for me, where he kinda lost it because it didnt work out with that girl. I think a better character progression is where he tries to be better but still has some issues and stuttering.

Invasion attempts would be fine if they made sense. My Hangman's Alley is only accessible from one side and yet enemies just magically teleport into it. It's fucking bullshit.
Not to mention the shit doesn't even matter anyway.
>>321259369
there were specialized raiders. there were corsairs. For me I got to fight brotherhood all over the place . Its pretty diverse.
>>321259718

Because it's 2015 black characters need to be as boring as possible so as not to offend anybody.
>>321259662

why not? you might as well say fo3 or nv wasnt fallout with that logic.
>>321259718
I ahd to tell him cool it with the flirting. Whatws with beth having all the men companinons be so aggressive and all the women are like you like me? but why I'm a woman.
>>321259575
I actually avoided that i think. There was some vaults with gunners at the entrance and I just didnt bother since Vaults are meant to be unopened mystery gems, not Gunner infested shitholes.
Also why didnt they put more raider idle conversations and lines, it gets old quickly if you play a solid sneak.
>>321259736
>pre-war pipe guns
>>321259802
> Hangman's Alley
Fuck that place. I set it up with about 4 settlers to start with, then checked on it a week later and 33 people were trying to fit themselves in there. The fuck is that.
I ended up building a shitty high rise to fit everyone's sleeping bag and then another level for the market that nobody can even path to. Fuckers.

shooting down vertibirds was quite fun. Also did you check out the ship with robot crew, one of the best side stories, even though the scavangers were kinda silly and had crazy amount of people in their group.

>>321261030
I've never lost anything. I think one time some of my plants were destroyed and the turrets were fucked, but that's it. Settlers came back and it didn't do anything but make me waste 30 seconds repairing everything with resources I had plenty of because I'm not a drooling retard.
Give it up, anon. The game is shallow garbage.
>>321261608
the settlement building isnt finished I can tell they stopped before it was done. The raiders need to be more of threat and actually attack once in a while. since it never happens its boring. It will be better I'm gong to fix it if I can.
I wish Garvey had a personality, I wish attacks on the Castle were always like the main quest ones, I wish you could make your shitty minutemen do the shitty radiant quests for you, I wish you could find more upgrades for your minutemen, aside from artillery support.
>>321262036
all great ideas for mods post these in a request thread.
we don't have a GECK yet.
Why is the assault rifle horrible? I assumed I'd eventually be using it but not only is it ugly, it's weak, even with all the commando perks.
I have nothing that eats 5.56.
Why are there only four unarmed weapons, two viable at endgame? Why do unarmed and melee weapons have such shitty modding capabilities? Why remove ammo crafting? Why is this game such a piece of shit?
>>321263194
theres more than that and theres some legendary ones you can find around.
>>321263194
I personally like the modding much better than ammo crafting.
>>321258843
Type "cl off" in the console
It helps a bit. Turns off the glow that is emitted by NPCs.
>>321263419
>theres more than that
upgraded weapons don't count as entirely new weapons.
> legendary ones
Again, an existing weapon with a stat boost is not a new weapon
>>321263194
>Why is this game such a piece of shit?
Because Bethesda aren't competent at all. I really want to like FO4, but it's just so unoptimized and boring.
on the note of melee and unarmed being severly underdeveloped in this game, why the fuck do all melee weapons have so few mods? They should be the most moddable type of weapon.
>>321263846
no theres unique weapons man you just have to find them.
>>321263918
you can blame the bad performance on nvidia though they got their greedy fucking hands in on development and put gimpworks in it. I dont like beths decision to do this.
>>321261085
I never thought of this. Bethesdas approach to entire approach to fallout is a case of old world blues.
This man is savage with the pottery.
The reason he is so dull and lifeless is because he is literally on the verge of suicide.
That doesn't excuse his fucking radiant quest giving bullshit though
>>321264259
Did he ever answer why the romances and romance-related perks were specifically written to mock people for being straight males?
>>321264102
Gamebryo has been a shit engine for a long time. It's true Nvidia is to blame with gameworks, but Bethesda isn't blameless.
>>321264668
what?
>>321264330
That's just unfair to suicidal people. Some of my best and most outgoing friends committed suicide. They could have personality and attempt to down a bottle of pills.

becasue they cant remove gameworks. Never heard they removed shadows either though. looks the same to me.
>>321262930
>not using it with the rifleman perk
It's a good weapon to replace the 10mm handgun.
>>321264909
They removed them from some areas with bad framerate issues, you can probably find a video on youtube about it.
>>321264826
They could choose use a better engine, though.
>Cool named Sentry Bot in the basement
>I have to kill him
Fuck that shit
>>321265082
ya but you know how lazy they are. But this way they dont mind if people mod their games so theres that. Its been a major part of their success. It just works.
>>321264815
He wasn't actually going to commit suicide. He said after he was the very last minuteman left alive he had a death wish, not that he'll kill himself but more like hell just wander around not caring about his well being until he can't wander anymore .
no need to take a video games personal btw
>>321264949
Combat rifles and .45mm drops in the time you'd want to replace the 10mm.
5.56 ammo and rifles become common by the time you can rely on an upgraded combat rifle and upgrade it to take .308 which is clearly beyond 5.56.
>>321265082
Could they? They'd still have their subpar programmers and animators and writer/designers, and they'd still have to learn a completely new engine, which would be nowhere near as moddable.
Would it be worth it?
>>321265082
if they could do that they would have for fallout 3 and new vegas and skyrim
>>321265314
Thats why it replace 10mm handgun. It isn't even a good weapon to start with, but the ammo is enough common.
>>321265314
I still use my deliverer* even though I'm not perked to use it. Because damn all that VATS. I'm definitely going to make a gunslinger soon.
>>321265349
>which would be nowhere near as moddable
although they went out of their way to fuck dialogue for modders, this is the best reason imo to stay with gamebryo.
Often when I try to switch weapons via the favorites, the gun takes forever to actually equip. It's fucking annoying and has gotten me killed many times. Does this happen to anyone else?
>>321265510
>although they went out of their way to fuck dialogue for modders
How so, by voice acting? That's hardly an issue, since it can be disabled and people didn't mind adding non-voice acted lines to NPC's in the past.
>>321265446
>Thats why it replace 10mm handgun
It CAN replace it, but the drop list doesn't reflect the idea that one might just drop the 10mm once 5.56 appears.
Better alternatives appeared way beforehand.
>>321265614
The weapon is loading.
>>321265618

>>321265873
Nested lists.
>>321265873
4 choices is enough. It would be nicer to get more but whatever. If you mean the shortening of the answer thats actually part of the gameplay.
>>321265949
?
>>321265997
>4 choices is enough
Not if you happen to like skill checks.
So.. does it matter who I side with on building the teleporter shit? Does anything I choose matter in the end?
>>321266150
>?
It means one option leads to 4 new options.
Games with dialog wheels and games with lists often use this to keep shit a bit more tidy.
>>321266150
you can put skill checks in there. nobody knows what will be moddable right now though the kit isnt out.
>>321266226
no, but the institute is the best option for the commonwealth everyone has too narrow thinking
>>321266226
Yes. Sort of.
>>321266260
Oh, more like mass effect then.
Man, I just want a list of options and a PC friendly interface.
>>321266304
the nazi's. I guess if you think the world deserves to die.
>>321266304
>>321266342
>Oh, more like mass effect then.
Exactly, but even list based games do this often. Even New Vegas (tell me about the legion --- new list of legion related questions)
I never had a problem with the wheel itself because I know it's stupid to blame an interface for lack of quantity or variety of dialogue. However FO4 sure proved the naysayers right by doing pretty much everything about the dialog system in the worst way possible. All they needed was a timer and it would be worse than Alpha protocol's.
>>321263502
Eh. I was always a fan of how it could make shit viable in just about any situation. New Vegas certainly treated shotguns and handguns better than Fo4 did, and ammo crafting had a lot to do with that.
>every shotgun uses the same exact shotgun shells
>>321266806
Because the only people who bothered with Ammo crafting are obsessive /k/ fags.
>>321260052
This bothered me the most.
>>321266424
I don't care, I'll rather die than let those raiders in power armor aka "brotherhood of steel" take over another city

Why? You think we can't make those?

preston gets on your nuts if you max his affinity. I had to tell him to tone it down a bit. I mean he's rearin and ready to go.

He sounds reasonable to me. New Vegas was (for me personally) a pretty grand game. I like the subtle, melancholic theme of "not letting go of the past".
Easy to get invested in for me. But I totally get, why so many people disliked it.
>>321259915
black robots twice as interesting as gravey with more personality
>>321266845
>new vegas had like 7 different shotgun shells
>>321267051
We can, but there's absolutely no reason we would. There are much, much better designs for homemade/makeshift firearms. Besides, the concept artbook makes repeated references to them being weapons designed by inexperienced wasters.
>>321267271
the shotgun rounds were the best.
>>321267182
I don't think that many people disliked it for what it was. I couldn't finish it when I played it because I'd gotten done with a fucktong of F3 playtime and NV felt too much the same. Yeah, it has some good improvements, but most of those I already had but better via mods. There were other things I disliked about the game or things I think F3 did better, but utlimately the better game and the better RPG is NV. Not by a MASSIVE margin, but it's noticeable.
But F3 was already kind of outdated by the time it came out, and NV was almost a mod of it, I'm sure that'd turn off a lot of the casual crowd.
>>321267315
would be fun if they blew up in your face or jammed once in a while. theres millions of them lying around so no loss.
>>321267437
it was a mod of it. with a new map.
>>321267271
It's actually 8 vanilla, 16 with GRA. On top of having nine shotguns to 4's two.
>>321267521
The new map being what I disliked the most.
How IS the map on F4? I hear conflicting shit about it.
>>321267521
That's fine with me. Without mods, FO3 would be fucking shit. Like, worst game of all time, easily.
>>321267740
oh come on now.
>>321267649
its different. lots of rubble. but not so empty. Its just different. not worse not better.
>>321267649
The layout itself is probably the best Bethesda's ever done, barring maybe Morrowind, but it's utilized horribly. It's blanketed in dungeons and player-made settlements, with very little in the way of unique content or interesting locations. There are only two actual towns in the entire game.
>>321267649
boston is great, nice verticality, no bullshit metro tunnels everywhere to make it feel bigger than it is. It's much, much better than Washington. The only weird thing is the fact that roads are hilariously narrow, like I'm in Venice or something.
the "countryside" is just like FO3. Random shit in random places, more raiders than normal people.
>>321267893
>There are only two actual towns in the entire game.
Damn, that's fucking bad.
>>321267906
Well, at least that's nice.
When mods get properly underway I'm sure it'll be a blast to at least fuck around and wander.
>>321267442
fun pipegun malfunction animations and obligatory cussing. might be worth doing.
>>321268002
You'll come across a couple more places with named NPCs, but they all eventually become player towns. Meaning they lose any and all personality they had since the settlement system is incredibly shallow and bland.
>>321267649
its kinda small but its not that bad you dont feel like theres invisble walls everywhere stopping you from entering locations
the best improvement is that theres a vertical component to fights now like you can be on the ground floor sniping raiders halfway up a buliding or on the rooftop or on a completely different building
its doesnt work the other way cause when your at the top of a building nothing spawns on the floor but its still an improvement over 3/nv where everything was flat
then again according to the artbook there were jetpack enemies that were cut from the game
>>321268050
Hopefully THIS TIME adding new animations isn't a pain in the fucking ass like it always is.
Fucking Havok.
>>321255584
cause there was a giant monster banging on the walls that was too big for the artillery to take on or the artillery was kaput or something
>>321268152
I actually believed they'd develop. More unique NPC would come. Set up special shops (only trashcan carla did), and the routes between settlements would get nicer as you developed.
Boy was I mistaken.
>>321268170
>then again according to the artbook there were jetpack enemies that were cut from the game
The raddest enemy that never was.
I'm still a little sad there's no nightstalkers but I didn't really expect they'd be put in. Surprised there's no centaurs.
Also surprised the Super Mutants are a new batch, I figured they were DC mutants looking for more FEV. Made much more sense.
>321268002
theres 3 towns that I have found.
>>321268002
the dungeons are all uniqe. I wish they would have fleshed out a few of them a little more but all the information and stories of them are in the terminals. You can also find uniqe places by folowing the strength of a radio signal. The mods for this game will surpass anything in the previous games by far. There is a good base game here with lots of room for modding.
>>321268152
>since the settlement system is incredibly shallow and bland.
At least that's something that will definitely be fixed by mods.
>>321268173
fingers crossed.
>>321255865
just don't report back to Preston after a mission and steer clear of Fort Strong for the remainder of the game, sucks that i can't get at the stacks of purified water there but fuck it
(if you're quick enough you can fast travel there, get all the water, and quickly fast travel out before radio freedom announces there's trouble at a settlement, but I simply put 3 industrial purifiers at Starlight Drive-in)
>>321268281
I thought the supply line system would mean something beyond a barebones resource exchange system and I'd be able to expand and defend my precious few caravans. The caravaneering in Fallout 1 was fucking magical to me.
I was heartbroken.
Seriously, though, the system's worthless until more specialized functions and a greater degree of settlement autonomy/personality come into play. As it is, every settlement is practically identical in every aspect but aesthetics.
>>321268152
It kind of like mine craft at the moment. and thats not a great thing but at least its a thing.
>>321265614
Yup, and the only solution I found isn't a solution. I just go I to vats until I see my ammo bottom right so I know it's done loading. Even putting the game on an ssd didn't fix this issue. It might just be myold amd cputhough.
>>321265614
Heavier weapons are slower to equip, but the game is just fucked up anyway. Sometimes mine don't come out for a long time and I can't swap at all. FO4 has many terrible bugs like that.
>>321268343
>unique
>>321268598
you can see what they had in mind though with the water purifiers. I'm sure they were planning on making one settlement produce alot of one good that needed to get to the next settlement. the farms are another example. You can also see that the defense game was supposed to be a sort of tower defense type thing. You can be sure it can be modded in.
>>321268850
they are.
>>321268905
It's a real shame the game has to rely on mods to fix even the secondary and tertiary features when they couldn't even get the important shit right. Glad I pirated.
>>321269049
what are they quarrying?
>>321268815
Eh, that's just the norm for Bethesda Gamebryo games. NV was a horrific mess when it came out. Hell, it's still buggy, I've tried to beat it twice and got the same bug that made it impossible to continue the same quest.
>>321269049
That's one of maybe four unique dungeons in the entire game. And yet, it's still a shooting gallery devoid of any meaningful interaction. The Repconn HQ was a better dungeon.
I do not know what they were thinking with the size caps they put in place on the settlements.

Yeah. Aside from the flashbacks, all you do is shoot things. It's visually identical to the other quarry in the game, too, complete with a raider-filled exterior.
>>321269605
you drain the quarry then explore it. why you complaining?
>the end of 2015
>Game honestly looks pretty ass
>It still can't handle running a simple multi-story high animated ejaculating penis made out of light boxes at a decent framerate
For fuck's sake Bethesda
>>321269691
you're thinking of the other quarry.
>>321269691
Because he's an obsidiot.
>>321269691
For such a unique dungeon, you sure are having trouble distinguishing it from the other dungeon like it.
>>321269917
haha It was a while ago when I explored them.
>>321269691
>you drain the quarry then explore it
and just like every area in Fallout 4 it's inhabited by raiders
>>321268669
Open the console. That way it will actually freeze time instead of just slowing it down.
>>321259298
>I'd like to take a moment for something a little more personal here folks
>>321270032
raiders are the human badguys. theres a couple unique raider factions.
>that awesome town of ships
>It's a raider settlement
>Not even a Paradise Falls, just an automatically hostile generic raider settlement
Bethesdaaaaa.
>>321270032
did you play NV at release? it had much less content than 4 at release. Shit theres more place to go in vanilla than NV had with all its dlc. Just remember this is vanilla.
>>321270164
>if you clear it early, it fucks with an institute quest and you have to use console commands to complete itas of the release build
You've still got it Todd.
>>321259384
Make it so settlements can actually defend themselves.
Once they're under attack if you dont go help them everything automatically gets destroyed and you lose 2/3 random settlers.
Even if as soon as you teleport there the rocket turrets instakill every enemy. You have to physically be there for it to not fail.
>>321270361
ha that photo.
>>321270164
>go to Combat Zone expecting something like the arena in Oblivion
>nope the second you set foot in the building you're met with hostile raiders
The raiders are the exact same as the bandits from skyrim
>>321270235
>Shit theres more place to go in vanilla than NV had with all its dlc.
You mean like quarry filled with raiders, empty store filled with raiders, and hospital filled with raiders?
>>321260052
Oh god this is the worst shit ever
>>321270502
you obviously dont like the game I'm not going to try and convince you otherwise.

Vanilla NV had more quests and considerably better quest design. It had more perks, more guns, and just as robust a crafting system. Fallout 4 has more locations, but most of them are incredibly similar in how you interact with them. Settlements are few and far between, and the custom ones are a seen-one-seen-them-all affair. It's not even a quality vs. quantity thing - there's just less unique content in Fallout 4.
>>321270750
>It had more perks, more guns, and just as robust a crafting system
No, yes, fuck no.
>>321260052
>inb4 DLC where you play as a soldier in Pre-War america and his squad has to use government issue emergency pipe guns or some shit to fight Chinese soldiers because the Chinese destroyed a shipment of regular guns

to lazy to add more into perks, but you'll figure it out. get more ammo with luck from containers, aqua boy, use dog meat to carry more shit and use lone wanderer and attack dog (stacking OP)
to lazy to type more you got this
>>321270860yes

Yeah, I'd lock myself up and drink myself to death rather than help these freeloaders too.

Fallout 4 has 70 base perks. New Vegas has 88. 10 of Fallout 4's perks are SPECIAL training, just massively bloated. About half of them serve the same function as skills. New Vegas has more perks.
As for weapon crafting; weapon variety, poisons, handloading, and weapon mods put it on par with Fo4.
>>321271237
Fallout 4 has 70 base perks. Each perk has several ranks for a total of 275. Different tiers of the same perk give different bonuses, like multiple different perks used to give (different levels of sneak grant Ninja and Silent Running, different levels of Brawling grant Paralyzing Palm).
As for weapon crafting; weapon variety
Which is not crafting.
poisons
The whole survival crafting was fucking ass with insanely bad UI and little to no reason to use it.
>handloading
Detailed, but a repetitive chore that was also completely unnecessary.
>and weapon mods put it on par with Fo4.
Hahaha, no. Mods were very linear and limited, and F4 lets you mod weapons, armors AND settlements.
>>321255807
WE HAVE ANOTHER SETTLEMENT THAT NEEDS OUR HELP. I'LL MARK IT ON YOUR MAP.
>>321271237
>>321271540
Also the 10 "intense training" perks are not part of the base 70.
>>321271540
Nope. New Vegas is better. Fuck you.
>>321271756
Not at crafting, stay mad.
>>321271540
Dont forget the Duke Nukem voiceover mod for fo4.

the institute probably replaces every single settler when im not there, and i still havent gotten the perk to see dmg resistances

This isn't new. Its just exemplified by the fact that all DIY guns look exactly the same, with the same shitty piece of wood strapped to the fucking copper barrel that probably isn't even rifled.
>>321272306
I'm working on it. Gunna be a while that fucker talks alot.

>>321271713
There are only 229 ranks for non-SPECIAL perks. Again, half of them share the same functionality as skills. Even if you include the bonuses some skill-perks beget (several of which don't even work) and include the attribute perks, there are still fewer perks than FNV, which also has challenge perks. That you invest more perk points in a single perk does not increase the number of unique perks.
Weapon variety increases the number of moddable weapons and makes for a more robust tier system, which Fallout 4 partially compensates for with its own tiered mod system. I never had a problem navigating the mod UI, which is hardly clean in Fo4 either. Handloading and ammo types could hugely impact the viability of a weapon, with several ammo types functioning just like some of Fo4's mods. Half of Fo4's mods just let a gun do the same thing a separate weapon could do in NV, or are completely obsoleted by another mod. There's about as much functional variety in both systems.
>>321272404
also writing new lines to make it better. duke wouldnt talk like that 50's nice guy.
>>321255584
Don't expect Bethesta to apply logic to their games. They just don't give a fuck and will call you a sperglord for pointing out blatant plot holes or lore fuck ups.
best faction is atom cats
best mods i have so far are changing vats to los and the imperial jetpack mod
>>321272687
would you download a gangwars mod? having to defend you marijuana crops/jetlabs from raiders?
>>321257957
does anyone know if the defense value actually matters in case you don't make it back there to help your colonies?
because even if i had very high defense values (150~250) i always get the message that the invaders wrecked my shit if i fail to go down and help them...
>>321268565
There's a switch on the side of the transmitter that lets you turn off the loudspeaker
>>321273320
pretty sure the defence lvl is how raiders assess the risk to attack or not.
>>321270104
this + repeated every 10mins or soi don't even listen to anything but the classical tunes, but every time i go some place with a radio tuned to his bullshit station he's always telling the same fucking story
Why are the graphics are so bad
>>321273295
if you could create your own gang, then yeah
>>321259802
they spawn right in the middle of the settlement in my game
>wat do?
place some shotgun turrets right where they spawn
>>321260054
also this.
and since i have the infinite settlement mod to build as much shit as i want the fps there are around 20 and if i stay thereor in similar croweded settlementsfor too long the audio and the rest of the game will get desync'd and it will have some strange delay even if i left the area and get the fps back to 60
>>321273320
no, it just means you're less likely to be attacked. you have to physically be there to defend
>>321273421
thanks anon, i thought it turned off the transmitter entirely, not that i listen to Radio Freedom (Diamond City Radio and Chicago Blues Radio mod 4 life) but i didn't want to turn it off for some reason
>>321273738
just trying to figure out a good way to spice up the radiant quests. and settlement defense. If anyone has any ideas let me know.
>>321273789
well shit then
i just hate when i have to babysit everyone and sometimes after successfully defending a settlement while i'm looting the bodies i get another invasion notice and there i go again...
also, this could be pretty useful for anyone playing the game since the vanilla notices are too hard to notice specially if you're in a middle of a fight or so: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4106/?
>>321272687
>best faction is atom cats
>those audio recordings of their poetry night
>ctrl+F "ayy lmao"
>no results
missed opportunity
>>321274034
yeah, that's helped alot
also, since cbbe was just released, is there a way to use it with the pirated version? should I be asking this in the general?
>>321274271
there's no difference at all for the pirate and the legit version when it comes to mods as far as i know...
just get a mod manager and you're good to go
>>321267906
I wish their was still metros linking up, rather than just each metro station being a self contained dungeon
>>321272687
I didnt even know the atoms cats existed. I just started to explore just for exploration. I waited for post game. I'm going to be looking all over for them now.
>>321272263
Shoot the one with energy resistance, if you have the Awareness(?) perk.
>>321274148ayy lmao?
>>321270843
>he doesnt like ammo mods
fuck you
>>321275024
to be fair most people didnt even bother with them. Not that it wasnt a good idea just getting the mats for them was really tedious.
>>321275239
I never seemed to have those issues but then again i never utilized some of the more...unique...ammo types. I thought it just added yet another level of variety to the game and it was nice to be able to switch out ammo for different scenarios
>>321259998
>why are men more aggressive than women when it comes to flirting
>gosh so unrealistic
21 is definitely too old for this place
>>321275402
irl not all men are gay bruh.
Why the fuck am I finding pipe guns in sealed pre-war locations?
Why?
WHY!?
Anyone else just not enjoying the exploring?
I mean even after I finished FO3 and NV I explored around and found some cool shit.
In this game it doesn't really feel like it's worth it...
>>321275637
theres all kinds of shit to find that you wont find any other way.
>>321274638
i know, but there was always a more important perk, now just need a weapon dmg perk maxed and i'll get it
also this shit is so surreal i might just never intervene (and presumably keep encountering Arts forever and ever)
>>321260052
That actually makes some sense. The situation in the pre-war murrica was rapidly going to shit, due to massive economic and social turmoil, including huge inflation, which made everything expensive as fuck. Regular folks would not have afforded proper guns towards the end of that shit, so them making their own guns is perfectly reasonable.
>>321256531
Look at this guy capable of understanding things that are clearly explained! You dont belong here
>>321275489
m8 i found a legendary fatman inside the bowels of bloatfly stop trying to make sense of things
>>321270164
It was actually originally going to be more than just a raider settlement.
>>321277829
>>321277906
Or at least, the raiders inhabiting it were originally supposed to have their own theme to them, instead of being just generic raiders.
>>321272687
Atom Cats make even less sense than the institute
They're on a small peninsula, which has an entrance guarded by a Gunner base
Their only commodity is that they can repair power armor, which only the BoS, Gunners, and Raiders have, two of which are hostile to the Atom Cats and one of which doesn't need their services
They also lack a boat to get to the place they say they've been exchanging repairs for food
>>321277829
>>321277906
>>321277974
Hold your horses, lads.
Could it be that Bethesda are lazy? I'm just throwing this out there.
It just works.
>only 2 towns
>completely missed opportunity for underwater exploration and enemies
>like 10 unique quests in the entire game
>underwhelming amount of weapons
>layered armor system is dumb, only 5 good outfits in the entire game
>the fucking dialogue
why did i let myself get hyped?
>>321278051
Still makes one kinda sad to see all the concept art that was not implemented at all to the game.
Pic related for example.

>>321278247
I mean, this enemy would have been rad as hell.
