>>122275910
I'm actually excited for a clothing mod for this game with how the armor now works.
How hard would it be to create a total overhaul of the weapon/bullet dmg in the game to reflect something like CSGO? With location based damage and effects etc...
Who is the best companion in terms of dialogue and general companionship?
I thought Curie would be fun but she never really has anything interesting to say.

Do heavy weapon builds work at all? I've got a thing for the nuke animations, but I'm assuming any mission inside a building will fuck that idea up.

The self damage seems quite low. I nuked some coursers inside the same room as I and it worked out fine, surprisingly
>Literally no alternate solutions to any quest I've done 25 hours into the game
If the shooting mechanics weren't so vastly improved I'd say this is the worst Fallout game yet. It's definitely the worst RPG in the series so far, but I think the shooting mechanics still put it ahead of 3.
>>122276081
Same feeling exactly.
Always keeping thinking "just wait until Obsidian gets their hands on this" and start to get profoundly sad.

Why are the supermutants triggering their own mines?
>>122275962
You would have to edit every single NPC (group and unique) and weapons. Dunno about locational damage or if that can even be changed.
Is it possible to replace audio yet?
or do we have to wait for the geck?
I just can't have fun in this game. I have no control over anything I do.
I literally just said to the minutemen to fuck off, but I still had no choice to help them.
How in the fuck is this a Fallout game at all?
Someone unironically wrote this.
When I tab out of the game and back into it again it changes my resolution to some arbitary nonsense with black bordes on the right.
Borderless window mode fixes it but I suspect it creates other problems I have.
Any fix for the resolution thingy?
>>122276173
>some perks are entirely ignorable
There's a perk that removes rad damage from being in water. And there's a perk that heals you from rad damage instead.
Why would anyone waste their points on the former when the latter is objectively better in every way
>>122276190
Easily replaceable by using loose files and renaming the file to the original.
I collect teddys, spacemonkeys, lunchboxes, liquor and ciggarettes just for fun.
Do you collect anything that is supposed to be trash, /fog/?
>>122276183
I don't know if you've noticed Anon, but Super Mutants aren't exactly the brightest inhabitants of the wasteland.
I seriously have no idea how the Master thought he would get anything done with them as an army aside from like, Behemoths I guess.
So the Synths and the SAFE test is just blade runner ripoff?
Can't they sue Bethesda for plagiarism?
>>122276173
>speech checks a shit and charisma a shit
How does this even work? Like, there's still RNG involved, right? Sometimes I fail "low" speech checks and sometimes I succeed "high" ones but if I die or something after and reload I can sometimes have the opposite result.
How do I turn a "wild mutfruit" into something I can plant?
I remember picking up three bushes that were wild mutfruits while cleaning up the junk around Sanctuary and it said they added wild mutfruits to my inventory but I can't plant any from the resource tab.
Where do I go to see my workshop inventory? Like when I scrapped a container it said contents added to workshop.
what should I do with all this junk?
is there stuff I don't need that I can just pawn off to other npcs?
Any guaranteed t51 spawns? Im level 20 and Ive seen nothing but t45
Realistic Damage mod for Survival 2X or 3X? This is for both me and enemies.
>>122276180
Yep, he can
>>122276236
Pop culture references have always been a staple of the Fallout franchise, though this one isn't particularly clever.
>>122276285
It's random % based on your CHR stat, and only your CHR stat. It's super weird. Sometimes the check will be intimidating someone, which you'd assume would require high STR or something, but no. Just CHR.
And then you'd think LUK would increase your chance just because it's all random anyways, but no. Just CHR.
>>122276334
Scrap it, go to a place with a workshop, drop it all on the floor and just scrap it all for parts.
Just got max affinity with Piper and her perk. Did I permanently unlock the perk or is it only active when she is my companion?
So how do I start modding this game without the creation kit?
>>122276334
Put it in your workshop for components you can use to upgrade weapons/armor or build a base.
If you look at each piece of junk it will say underneath it things like Aluminum, Cloth and the like. That's what components they give you when you put them in your workshop or have them in your inventory.
>>122276372
>>122276334
God no. You can walk up to a workbench and deposit all junk - the game will auto scrap it when you need the parts.
So any fix for the random stuttering with 4GB ram?
I'll be getting another 4GB ram next month but don't want to wait this long...

This doesn't work how you think.
You still take Rad damage, but you heal from actual damage while doing so.
It's basically like drinking dirty water all the time.

>>122276359
That's annoying. I actually pumped a lot of points into a CHR because the perks are all so useful, but fuck me if I don't save before every speech check. It's annoying, just have it be a hard limit.

My issues with the game so far:
>It doesn't feel like a Fallout, but more like Mass Effect/Bioshock with a Fallout sticker
>This fucking dialogue wheel
>No alternative routes in quests
>I could literally not say no to the Minutemen, when they said I should help them
>Bullet sponges
>Every enemy is just generic bad guy, no one has a purpose (like for example The Fiends or The Khans in NV)
>I don't care for the characters, why would I want to save my son?
>Magic guns replaced mods and ammo types
>The aesthetic doesn't look very Fallout in a lot of designs
>Map is small as fuck
>Writing isn't good
>PC isn't blank slate do-what-you-want
The only things that I like so far is the better movement. Even combat isn't that much better so far IMO. None of the weapons in FO4 have so far been as good as NV rifles like Hunting Rifle or Cowboy Repeater (rest of the NV weapons were kinda clunky)
This game is so far the worst Fallout yet, it hardly follows any of Fallout's usual features. Even Fallout 3 at least gave you SOME options.
How do you operate the favorites menu? It just like forces you to stand still and doesn't work.
Can you make it work more like Skyrim's favorites menu?

Bethesda has literally never released the mod kit at the same time as release.
>>122276445
Just because mods can fix some of the games issues, doesn't mean they're excused.
It's a weak argument. Bethesda shouldn't get out scott-free, because the community does their work.
>>122276634
I fucking love how ridiculously spytech it is, including the CODENAMES
>>122276349
You might need to level some more. I had only T-45s until I got to about 30, and then I suddenly got 2 T-51s and 2 T-60s.
I have 4GB of ram, a HD6870 and a Q9550. Can I decently run FO4 at the lowest possible settings?
I do realize I'm well below minimum reqs, but hey I'm below The Witcher 3's too and yet that played perfectly fine, so what say you?

Even with a wide monitor it still bothers me.
It's one of those tricks they use to get more frames on a console.
PC yet again paying for console's shortcomings.
>>122276558
They are putting it off to create the framework for injecting monetized mods into consoles via bethesda.net, and integrating bethesda.net into steam via their new storefront app.
So Railroad/BoS or The Institute ?
Why the fuck do auto-fire weapons even exist in this game? Tap-fire weapons are better in pretty much every situation. Auto-fire just wastes ammo.

Otherwise you use WASD to move the selection after pressing F.
>>122276682
Game is optimized like garbage, so I wouldn't count on it
>>122276710
Auto is decent for spraying down hordes of weak enemies, and also for getting some use out of weaker ammo-types other than selling them when you have way to much of them. But I agree that semi-auto is better in most situations.
>>122276790
You dont make money from weapon-armor stores, you make it from the trader stores.
And I have no idea
>>122276790
The only cost is up front to build the store, then you get passive income for the rest of hte game. The only factor involved in paying for itself is time. It will always pay for itself - eventually.
>>122276691
That's not how rendering frames work.
It doesn't "hide" polygons or textures.
The real reason is that most TVs are farther away than a PC monitor so the guns look closer.
Using FOV 90 seems to fix this up though, much better.
>>122276747
You know I'll be all out of interest by then. I'm barely holding on as it is. At least it was free.
Oh well.

So what the modding situation so far?

Script extender already coming along nicely
Still no one picking up the FNIS torch?
Sex mods looking good with ashal saying hes going to be making the framework for Fo4, already good animators jumping on board.
>>122276682
One is made by glorious slav devs that put a great deal of effort into their product and it shows
The other is by Todd the Mad Lad Crazy lying Rad Howard and a studio that's about as lazy as they come.

the true reason is
>commando perk applies to all automatics that aren't heavy weapons - pistol, laser, rifles
>gunslinger only applies to non-auto pistols
>rifleman only applies to non-auto rifles/shotgun
commando gets both if they're automatic
>>122276863
>That's not how rendering frames work.
>It doesn't "hide" polygons or textures.
That's actually exactly how occlusion culling works.
How viable would a melee low int high luck build be on hard mode? I'm level 13 - about 16 hours in but I just got to diamond city, and I'm not too fond of being a pistol gunslinger
>>122276942

>>122276953
FO4 doesn't have occlusion culling though you fuck.does it?
>>122276937
I really hope this time the community comes together and focuses on 1 customizeable body mod instead of a bunch that split the mods up.

Do companions gain the benefits of Pocketed armor?
>>122276593
Have you actually played the previous games recently? It feels exactly like fallout, almost to the point where there is very little improvement upon the already existing feel.
>No alternative routes in quests
What is this bullshit? Either you're too stupid to actually do the alternative routes in quests or you haven't played the game. There are tons of points in quests where it gives you the options to do something different or turn back all together, it doesn't have any more or any less options of what to do than any previous game.
If you wanna complain about menial shit and use buzzwords to justify your opinions like they're facts maybe you should head to the correct board for that.

>>122276976
>Because Witcher 3's developer team is twice the size of bethesdas
How is that even possible? CDP is like at its second blockbuster (or first if you don't count witcher 2), Bethesda has been putting out AAA budget shit since Oblivion.
>>122276976
>>122276942
It's actually because the AI routines that Gamebryo games use has a pretty significant CPU impact that other games - like Witcher 3 - don't.
So people who build these budget PCs using AMD CPUs or going for the dual-core Intels don't understand why they can run a game that's almost entirely GPU bound, but can't run a game that requires a lot of CPU horsepower.
>>122276976

Gamebryo does not have occlusion culling.
FO4's engine is based on Gamebryo.
Also you can test in-game if you look down at the ground and SOMEHOW gain more FPS looking into a hallway.
>>122277265
I've found that enabling noclip makes building slightly less frustrating.
Bethesda really needs to make more inhospitable and dangerous environments. It's the only place this game really shines.

Debunked. When the item is scrapped the part you need is used for the recipe, and the remaining parts are deposited back into the workbench. After a while you'll notice just a lot of raw "Copper" or "Plastic" items in your workbench from doing this.

>>122276145
Same feeling here too. Whilst I don't like the voiced protagonist or the backstory, I don't think they're the main problems, simply because other games have managed to make a compelling RPG with characters who already have backstory and a voice. The issue simply comes down to lazy writing from Bethesda.
I really, really hope Bethesda let Obsidian have another crack at a Fallout game. This engine with Obsidian's writing would be fucking beautiful.
>>122277327
>>122277320
Honestly, bethesda should stop making a single 3d world and bring back the map system from fallout 1 and 2. The glowing sea just abruptly starting....its just so wrong. Its a fantastic location that should be 4 times the size and much more tied in with the main quest or something.
>>122277347
I put three points in it for the perk which gives you bonuses when you don't have a companion as I've always loathed companions since Fallout 1.
I think this is actually the first Beth/Obsidian game where stealth archer build isn't completely and horribly overpowered
Anyone thats far into the game with such a build care to weigh in?
I tried it out and while I got a few kills at Corvega before they noticed me, I couldn't fly in and knife everybody.
So I can confirm a few unconfirmed things.
>Legendaries and lootables (safes in particular) are random when you kill and loot. However, the loot is set in once you save and kill the legendary, or enter the cell that contains the legendary loot in a safe or something similar. You could in essence, farm for a specific prefix and weapon you want.
>You can loot an entire location and come back several in-game days later and find almost everything has respawned. Even holotapes are flagged for respawn and you can have multiple copies of the same holotape. This, in a way, makes the Scrapper perk almost useless.
>Radiation damage does lower a humans overall HP.
>Bloody Mess Rank 3 perk can proc on invisible enemies, enemies through walls, sentries, and for some reason, teddy bears. Teddy Bears detonate in a mini-nuke explosion.
>tfw the glowing sea wasn't the main highlight of FO4
>instead it was diamond shitty
>>122277515
Could have sworn Obsidian was already contracted for another such game. If so, I'm really looking forward to it.
So, been a few days since release. Any interesting mods yet?
>>122277219
the same happens with bethesda games you fucknugget
>>122277550
Wait until you get stronger with max sneak, good armor upgrades, Ninja perk, and your favorite weapon of choice perk (melee, unarmed, automatic, or non-automatic). At high levels with Bloody Mess, I can one-shot a raider with a silenced weapon and no one be any the wiser. I cleared a good portion of Diamond City without raising any guards and even went as far as to kill the guards themselves. By the time I was done, most of Diamond City was just a graveyard.
>>122277525
>bethesda should stop making a single 3d world
Fat chance. The autistic waifu roleplayers who have to be immersed in their special little world that revolves around you would never allow that.
>>122277557
The respawning loot is something I can understand. Fallout 4 forces you to scrounge quite a bit, especially if you use power armor.
The raider power helmet has level 50 electricity while the t45 helmet has level 60 electricity.

where did you build that?
Whats with legendaries 'mutating'?
I guess thats them being equipped with the random gear? But why the fuck does it happen shortly after they're first shot at, and why does it heal them entirely?
Is there a mod for New Vegas that makes the Power Armor function close to how it does in Fallout 4?
Truth be told, I'm really not liking Fallout 4 so far, but I do love how Bethesda decided to treat Power Armor this time. It's actually closer to the lore than the shitty excuse it was last time.
I'm not asking for it to be the exact same, more or less that power armor just feels like actual power armor (in both presentation and defense) and runs off some sort of fuel source.
>>122276280
Because west coast Super Mutants like Marcus are intelligent (and incapable of becoming Behemoths, that trait is unique to the mutants that originated from 87 due to the modified strain of FEV)
The ones you fight in 4 are the east coast variant originating from Vault 87.

It's got nothing to do with gear, it's just a full heal they get when they take enough damage.
So who's that grill synth at the end of hunter/hunted? She talked about maybe seeing us again, did I miss something to do with her or is she for dlc?
>>122277515
I agree on the point of of the story and voiced protagonist. To see what Obsidian would do, ESPECIALLY if given free reign and flexible working parameters...I think it would be the first time I'd be overwhelmed by a game. I'm not saying this as a fanboy. I wouldn't even mind a voiced protag written by Obsidian, it's a moot point to me.
All of those crafting options...just, fuck man.
>>122277723
It's just them getting stronger and restoring all HP. They can mutate multiple times if you don't kill them fast enough.Legendary Deathclaws are very scary.
>>122277763
No. Sneak attacks are based on the damage you do. Sneak attacks IGNORE all armor and apply the bonus damage modifier. Better Crits only applies to VATS.
>>122277837
what da zog
but why, normal enemies can heal without announcing it on your HUD, and they never do it when they're low health for me, always when they've taken like 10% damage
Are there any orange clothes, so I can get even memer with my meme character?
Pipe wrench works well enough as a melee weapon, damn shame there isn't an orange combat armor skin.

> thread over on /v/:
See? I was right, you should probably keep your whining to the board designated for people incapable of enjoying anything.
There were literally quests like that in NV, why do people pretend Obsidian is some kind of untouchable god when it comes to vidya when they did similar shit? All they're good at is writing, I'd love if they got to collaborate in making the game but I wouldn't trust them being solely in charge of making it. Fallout 4 is pretty great in terms of sheer detail, and I'll agree the writing and dialogue is shit, but I'd rather have a detailed okay game with bad writing made by bethesda than an empty shit one with good writing by Obsidian.

With modding tools coming out "early 2016", I certainly hope that component based armor will be one of the earlier big mods to come out.

You upgrade it. Requires the Science! perk to fully upgrade.
Hope you farmed up the necessary materials and gold necessary to make it.
>>122277525
>The glowing sea just abruptly starting
What do you mean? The area around the Glowing Sea has a lot of damaged trees bending away from the impact area as well as a shitload of upheaved dirt and debris everywhere. The last thing I remember hitting before heading into the Glowing Sea itself was a collapsed highway overpass with a Deathclaw on it.
The Glowing Sea is probably my favorite area in the game so far and I've seen a majority of the overworld areas.

Have you played the game? The amount of interaction with the world is insane.
I'm beginning to feel like the people constantly whining haven't actually played the game and just regurgitate what they heard on /v/, or may actually be mentally retarded. If you don't like the game, don't play it, you don't need to come up with a bunch of imaginary reasons to justify why it isn't good and nobody else should enjoy it. If you make it your mission to go to somewhere dedicated to discussion of a game and complain then there is something wrong with you.

>Implying Fallout 4 fanboys aren't worse
Undertale fanboys are huge faggots, but I can understand their faggotry because the game actually has charm to it.
Fallout 4 is just a broken mess that has a very shitty main story. And every time you bring up a point you don't like, they always argue back with "WELL, YOU DON'T PLAY BETHESDA GAMES FOR [insert here]!!!"
If you don't play Bethesda games for the story, gameplay, visuals, or RPG mechanics, what the fuck do you play them for? And why do you keep giving excuses to Bethesda when they hand out a broken mess of a game, but with everyone else, you would fucking lynch them?
Seriously, how did it get to the point where Obsidian is releasing less buggy RPGs than Bethesda?
Do Assaultrons ever fuck off and leave you alone holy fucking shit I've got max stealth perks and this thing just immediately zones into me.
>>122277904
I think when people praise the writing on NV they mostly mean how character motivations make sense and the world behaves in a way that is logical. Bethesda Fallouts mostly use story/characters as a way to get you where they want you to be, rather than using them as a way to let the player get where they want to go.
>>122278441

So, are you actually playing FO4 right now or are you shitposting?
>>122278368
This was my biggest concern with Bethesda removing skills/adding voice actor in FO4. I was cautiously optimistic going in, but after 20 hours I've yet to find a quest that has player-specific choice like that. The vast majority are fetch quests, but even the plot-line ones end up in a binary outcome with no deviation along the way.
So how many do you have so far?i got 3
Has anyone done a No Radaway run yet?

>All your choices are pretty much exactly the same, just the protagonist says them differently
This is pretty much when I decided I was done with Fallout 4.
If this was Fallout 1, 2, or even NV, I'd probably have some sort of skill check to talk my way out of fighting him and to probably get some more info out of him. Not only that, but there wouldn't be just four choices for the same exact subject.
I forgot who wrote FO3 and FO4, but Bethesda seriously needs to sack them, because they can't write worth shit.
