>>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.

Neat.
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.
>>122275938
When the GECK comes out someone will make a wig mod and you can just equip it on any NPC yo u want.

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?

IS NO ONE BOTHERED HOW BIG THE GUNS COVER THE SCREEN?
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.

You can just use the keyboard numbers 1-9
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?
Couple people working on texture overhauls already
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.

I have a couple stupidly cheap CS:GO skins and I can draw shitty MS paint pictures, anybody wanna trade for a copy of FO4?
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.

>>122277195
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.
>>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.

>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.

>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.

>>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

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.

I actually played about 10 hours of it.
Couldn't stand the writing, it's fucking terrible. Animations are mediocre at best. Power Armor and gunplay are pretty nice, but they're tied to horribly streamlined and stilted RPG mechanics, so it's not exactly satisfying to play or level up. Textures are shit, but exterior lighting is nice (interior is just fucking horrid).
What I really can't stand is just having limited options in dialog though. And most of the choices are just different ways to say one subject which get you the same result. Even Mass Effect or Dragon Age 2 wasn't this bad in terms of dialog, and they used the same sort of system.
I really don't want to play the game anymore.
Is it wrong that I have to use a controller to build a house in this game. Mouse is too fucking inaccurate
I have local Leader 2 perk, how do I set up the supply lines or whatever for resource access across settlements?
Is there any fix to the crashing every 5-10 minutes yet?
Alright anons, I'm making a tower.
>>122279196
Then if you're done playing the game, why are you continuing to talk about it in this general? Do you think we want you here constantly talking about how you think the game is shit?
>>122278437
>And why do you keep giving excuses to Bethesda
Because it's Bethesda. They're not going to improve and suddenly produce a polished product, especially with how much people are willing to pay for their current, shoddy games. You just have to accept that and excuse Bethesda as one of those companies that wouldn't exist if they were held up to the same standards as most other developers. Bethesda = bugs and mediocrity, now go have fun with the game. Consider it your dirty little secret.
Bethesda's games are a collection of features that are kind of shit, but come together to somehow form a fun experience. There's little joy to be had in a single turd, but if you keep stacking them up you'll eventually end up with enough material to sculpt a beautiful landscape of shit, complete with shit caves and shit lakes and mighty castles and skyscrapers of shit. You'll want to wade in it just for the joy of discovering something that's also kind of shit, but still interesting. And maybe sometimes something didn't get properly digested on its way into the end product, and you might dig up something that's, in fact, not shit.
I'd love a bug-free, functional open world RPG, but Bethesda's the only one making them in such a scale. This is what we have to settle for.
Am I the only person who is having fun in the game despite it's flaws and wants to talk about the fun things for a change?
I get that the dialogue is infuriating and the main story is shit, but the gameplay seems pretty fun and I'm having fun just fucking around in the wasteland with my companions.

>>122278927
Have you continued the main story after that? Because killing Kellogg makes more sense the further you go down the line.
Also there are plenty of opportunities to talk your way out of a fight in the game, its just that with Kellogg there is just no other way to progress the story.
>>122279543
I can't wait for the mod that has toggle-able snapping, and removes all clipping "you cant place that here" shit so you can just position shit however you fucking want.

That is forbidden, you must become a cesspool of hate and post the same complaints over and over again until people agree with you. Nothing good exists, only bad things which we most focus our time and effort on exposing and complaining about!
But for real, anyone enjoying the game is probably playing it right now. This general is for people who either don't have the game yet or couldn't play it without comparing it to everything else. Don't let it get to you, enjoy what you enjoy, the opinions of others should not change that.

The only fun I've had with the game is just ignoring fast travel and exploring the wasteland.
Other than that, every time I decide to actually start a quest, it feels like a fucking huge drag. Every major NPC is just so bland and has no character to them. Not to mention it has Skyrim's progression problem in the sense that questlines progress way to fucking fast.
Seriously, all I did was kill some ghouls, and now I'm part of the Brotherhood of Steel. Like, fucking how?

Bethesda should get a new writer for Fallout 5, and they should go back to the original dialog system (without the time freeze and zoomed in faces of course).
At the rate they're going, if they keep the same writer, Fallout 5 is going to end up worse than Brotherhood of Steel was.

Great job genius. You've just lost 180 degrees of traverse.
>>122279336
Yes. The game is flawed as fuck and filled with Bethesda's usual mediocrity, but it's still enjoyable at a base level. As someone who generally hated vanilla Skyrim, I'm enjoying this.
Always a good laugh coming to the thread and seeing people lodge the same complaints that have been made about Bethesda games for a decade now, as if the people enjoying it were actually denying the complaints and not enjoying it despite the game's flaws. If you honestly expected anything more than what you got, you're retarded.
I'll be happier when mods arrive though.

I understand that he has a lot of history with his wife and just got back from war to see his child, but without establishing any backstory before shit hits the fan, you can't really feel for the guy.
And as some other people have said, I absolutely love that everyone in the wasteland somehow believes that you were frozen in a vault for 200 years and doesn't just think you're some sort of lunatic.

They probably want the Pip-Boy. Although Bethesda should have made an encounter where you're given a reason for their hostility towards you. Though for me personally, I pretend it's because I blew the head of one of their people from afar the first time I encountered them, because I took him for a raider.
>>122280813

>>122280789
The main quest branches hard in the final third and melee's worth a run but IMO it's too simplistic to do a whole playthrough with
Plus so many fucking major enemies break your stealth when they pop up so you can't get melee sneak attacks on them

I have to stand completely still for enemies to not notice me, even if they are on a different floor than me.

But I agree. Could the game be better? Absolutely. Is it GOTY material? IMO, no, but game reviewers are idiots. Are there glaring flaws? Yeah.
Is it fun though? Yeah, absolutely. I'm enjoying it so far. I haven't beaten the game yet, so I'm unsure yet, but we'll see.
I love how making the nights a bit darker and changing the ambient music makes the game a lot more atmospheric.

That doesn't mean it isn't a fun game. Its flawed as fuck though; ignoring the flaws is stupid but ignoring the fun because of said flaws is also retarded.

CD Projekt Red is just one part of CD Projekt - CD Projekt is an enormous localisation and distribution company. CD Projekt Red is sitting on a monstrous pile of cash and virtually unlimited resources. So long as they can convince CD Projekt that by giving them money now they will get more money on game release CD Projekt will just throw resources at them.
Bethesda is in a different situation.

>>122282213

>>122281827
Not really.
Bethesda was bought out by Zenimax while developing Morrowind, and Zenimax has a shitton of dosh as well.
Maybe Zenimax is just being stingy, but I mostly think it's just general incompetence by Bethesda that results in them pumping out buggy ass games like they do.
There are smaller sized indie teams that have accomplished more than Bethesda in recent years, and just throwing more people at a game doesn't always make it better. It's more or less just how talented and skilled your developers are, rather than how much you have.
CDPR just manages to have a team of 200 people that are all insanely skilled or talented, much like Valve, while Bethesda has a team of 100 or so people who are just capable of getting their jobs done and nothing much more.
>>122282213

Dated, maybe. But not bad by any means. They just don't have 20 years of quality of life improvements to reflect upon during design. Fucking unfair to say the first pong game is dogshit in comparison to modern pong just because you're so used to pong with the bumper rails on. It's clunky and dated by today's standards. Perfectly fine by it's release date.

1 food per settler. Go to Graygarden, pick all their mutfruit, plant it all in the settlement you're trying to feed, wait a few in game days, pick the mutfruit that's grown, repeat.
Wasn't there a part in the military base of Fo2 that had a frozen soldier? And then as soon as he woke up he basically melted/disintegrated?

>>122282731
you can get 11 in a stat of your choosing right out of the gate. after you wake up, head to your house in sanctuary and pick up the 'ur special' book in shaun's crib's room. It lets you +1 any stat. Then there's the bobble heads. I think you can only get them to 10 with levelups. To go past requires gear, meds, and pickups. You can have 20 charisma for example.
>>122277225
Doesn't hold up in court.
If they would try to assert a claim on somebody else's labour and use it themselves, it would be illegal to do so without permission.
You see, even if you make blatantly illegal modifications on software you do not own, that does not give the ownership of the data you created to the company who owns the software you modded.
Much like if you bought set new rims to a broken car, those rims are by law, your property, even if the rest of the vehicle you drive is stolen.
>>122278337
>The amount of interaction with the world is insane.
Uh, what?
I'd say the only thing that's bothering me with the game so far is that you can't move certain people to other settlements. I don't really like that it's giving me all these little settlements to manage, with only like 2 people in them, and can't even move them to somewhere I'd prefer, like Sanctuary. Could really do with a mod for this.
>>122283026
why would a farmer that made his house there move? You can move the ones named settler. It's good enough. Just build a radio beacon in other places and move the settlers where you need them

I really wish melee combat was more developed this time around. I mean, with guns it's all about aiming, cover, flanking, timing reloads and using grenades to your advantage. With melee weapons, it's walk up to your target and click until it dies while spamming stimpaks.
I mean have the Bethesda developers never played Chivalry? You can totally make a melee FPS combat system that works, you just need to put some effort into it.
>>122283393
Not like we can anyway in the game.
>>122283269
Ride of the Valkyries totally fits that if you look at things from the molerat perspective.

I wish I knew how to make machinima, because I'd totally make a movie about a pack of molerats doing what molerats do, then suddenly march of the valkyrie starts playing and some raider comes in and starts knocking their heads off with a lead pipe in slow motion. It would be from the perspective of one of the molerats, and would end abruptly with a *CLUNK* when the raider bops the rat whose perspective is used.

Why would they have blood instead of oil? The only thing blood and oil have in common is that they're both fluids. Otherwise, their functions are vastly different. Blood could never do what oil does and vice versa.

I tried it all, all performance mods, all tweaks, fixes, settings and every possible combination of these.
In the end it doesn't ever do shit at all. Even on 800x600 all low the game stutters like absolute mad when I walk around.
Funningly enough, on all Ultra FullHD its the exact same effect. But FPS is constantly up at 60 when I stand still and just look around.
When I move though, unplayable.

Are there actually any fun, memorable quests that don't require you to clear out a base or fetch something? Something along the lines of Republic of Dave?

>>122284872
This question is asked every thread.Yes you need a separate beacon. It's silly, I know.
ALL RIGHT /FOG/, LISTEN UP.
I think we all agree that though the maintenance, upgrading and powering aspect of Power Armor are cool, you still get it too early and it's still OP. We can improve this with mods, but what specifically should be changed? I have a few ideas:
>PA pieces that reach 0 durability should be permanently destroyed
>PA frames should also have durability
>if a PA frame break down while you're wearing it, your PA should be automatically removed and all the pieces fall off you on the ground
>the first PA frame you find should break down as soon as you're done killing the raiders and the deathclaw, or if you leave Concord, whichever happens first
>Fusion Cores should not be found in random ammo boxes and the like, though they could still be present in containers in vaults, military bases and the like
>you should be able to loot power armor frames off dead enemies
Any other ideas?
>>122284321
I keep mine spread out in different settlements, most of them have at least 1 suit lying around.
This way I can save game-time by just going to my nearest settlement whenever I need PA, instead of having to go all the way across the map to one place and then all the way back.

>>122285373
I-I didn't say that...
>>122285249
No, but they weren't meant to run that long either. Half of the vaults were experiments and the other half would open after 20 years to allow people to rebuild. The only peopled vault left after 200 years are unusual places, like vault 111 which froze everyone and vault 101 where the experiment was to NOT open the vault, ever.

I tried doing exactly what you're trying to do but I could not get that small stair to snap its lower end to the platform. Snapping the lower end of a big stair did work for me however, so I opted with just going with that even though it extends past the roof.

-5800 series AMD card.
-AMD FX 4100 Quad 3,6ghz
-8GB Ram
Techincally I 'should' be able to run it.
Funningly I do. As mentioned if I stay still I can turn at ridiculous speeds without performance drops, every NPC is animated super fluent and every other moving object aswell. Constant 60FPS
However, If I move around for more than 10-20 meters, the game stutters incredible.
Its no typical FPS drop as you'd expect it. Its a sutter every other second.
Aiming and general fighiting unthinkable while moving.
My graphics card, even though AMD, is barely scratching any load-limit and runs at 55-60° even. Under GTA this guy fans a lot higher and has more to do.
I suspect its the CPU and that the stutter has to do with object loading or general loading of meshes and world around me.
>>122285489
Vault 81 was supposed to be an experiment to erradicate diseases by giving the vault dwellers these diseases, but the first overseer said fuck that and left all but 3 scientists to die in the nuclear bombings by not sending them warning messages and those that survived the overseer locked them in another part of the vault.

Is she actually synth though since all synths are made from human DNA? Isn't she just a robot?
Is there any way to cap fps through the nvidia control panel? I uncapped the fps through the config tool because I was getting fps drops and heard that they would be fixed, but I still want to keep the frames under 60 so the physics don't get screwed up. I tried turning on vsync and overriding the game's settings but I'm still getting over 100 fps (my monitor is 60hz).
>>122285628
You can but it's cumbersome as fuck so I typically don't bother wearing it unless I've died a couple times at a certain spot. Then I teleport back to my warehouse in Sanctuary, grab a suit, and teleport back to the spot. Clear it out, back to Sanctuary, repair the armour, re-warehouse it, and teleport back.
I look like shit while wearing but its so good.
>>122285695

You're not the only one. Almost everyone with performance issues right now is using an AMD card. And from personal experience after replacing my AMD card with an nVidia one this spring, I know what the problem is: AMD is shit. I doubled and even tripled my framerate in all games after getting that card, if not more: I went from being unable to play GTA 5 above 15 FPS to 60 FPS in it. It was that stupid.
Just get a new video card and you'll see your issues go away.
>>122285591
not a hero since she never asked them to not do the experiment
the scientists were using a test gas to test the devices and when it didn't work one of the scientists asked the overseer if she could look them
she knew from the beginning what the vault was designed to do but decided to lock out the scientists after they try to run a test experiment
after the scientists figured out that she's killed them they continue to try to get the develop the serum

is there anyway to get BoS officer uniform besides killing that guy in the bunker?
If you think of the game like Far Cry with a Fallout coat of paint it's pretty fun. I wouldn't recommend anyone buy it expecting a good RPG though. It's more like a themepark MMO where you're just given quests that send you to cool locations, but have no real influence or impact on anything in the game.

Aw shit, I saw now that she already has a laser rifle. Why she didn't use it in the last fight is a another question.
>>122285843
Yeah. I know of those AMD card problems.
To be fair I had used Nvidia my entire life.
But this exact card was a gift a while back when I was short of money to upgrade.
And you know, its a gift so why not use it
I wasn't really expecting to be having to upgrade this card so soon though.
urgh. I'll wait a bit, maybe there'll be some AMD support soon like it happened on GTA5.
That game was unplayable at launch aswell, until some time later a driver patch came out and voila, constant 60fps...
>>122285958
Pretty sure it lowers your mouse sensitivity.

The New Vegas wasteland was so fucking padded it's not comparable. 75% of the wasteland in that game can be described as "fucking nothing". The reason it took you so long to get every location in New Vegas has nothing to do with there being more content and everything to do with them stretching the size of the map as much as possible without actually putting anything in that map.

>i dont know why the pc version is so fucked up control-wise
It's fucking Skyrim all over again: Consolitis. The devs clearly designed it for consoles and the PC version was a shitty port. It's why mouse controls are fucked, it's why the UI is shit, it's why the dialogue wheel is shit, it's why you can't rebind those two action to separate keys, etc.
All around, just a shitty job from Bethesda, as can be expected.
So the general consensus is that this is a decent game by itself, but not a good Fallout, correct?

>>122285582
>>122285843

I doubt the problem is GPU related for him. An FX 4100 is far below the recommend specs for the CPU, and Fallout 4 requires a pretty decent CPU due things like every NPC - even just unnamed Settlers - running their own AI routines.
Even if you threw a 970 in that build, the FX 4100 would bottleneck you severely.

Oh, absolutely agree. Do not get me wrong on that point, New Vegas is superior to Fallout 3 in every other regard. But specifically map design? Fallout 3 wins hands down.
>>122286435
Yeah, Fallout 3's map is chock full of buildings and streets and raider camps. New Vegas' map is deserts and deserts and deserts.
>>122286504
Quite frankly, I enjoyed the map and setting far more than NV.
And this is from someone that loves deserts. Obsidian's map was just awful, really awful.

Do you have ADHD?
The reason why Fallout 3's map was shit was because every metre had a quirky location.
It was quantity over quality. I can understand why you prefer quantity over quality if you have ADHD, but Fallout 3 suffered from the same thing as Skyrim:
Boring ruins. Every shit was the same shit, but hey, there is quantity, right?

>>122286818
As in?
>>122286987
But what is wrong with the use of asbestos specifically in this case? It's heat resistant, so the game's use of it isn't wrong. Yet using it in combat armor isn't likely to be good for you if you get hit at all, because you will likely develop asbestosis or cancer.
>>122287202
that's the biggest pro ever.
>>122287292
That's why some people play video games. Some people watch movies to be entertained, so you recommend them Transformers. Some people want to think, so recommending them Transformers is not great.
Fallout is a weird series, because half of the games are RPGs and half of the games are action adventure. So you have a split of fans who want one thing, and two developers offering different games. I wouldn't recommend Fallout 4 to anyone wanting an RPG any more than I'd recommend Transformers to someone looking for a thought provoking film.

Fallout 3's wasteland is better than New Vegas'. It's literally the only point where it's better than NV, and it's something everyone agrees on because it's so fucking obvious. You claim every location is the same? Not only is that demonstrably false, but the same is demonstrably true of NV: Everywhere is desert and more desert. To the point where you can easily get disoriented in quite a few places when you're new to the game.

I play video games for mindless fun, but I also do it to explore a medium that offers qualities nothing else can, because it allows me to see what the world is for myself, instead of having the author/directors world shown to me.
That's why I was drawn to the Fallout franchise, because it allowed me to see a post-post-apocalyptic setting from the inside. That's fun for me. I love going around the world, playing a character I thought out.
But that's where Fallout 4 lost me. I just don't enjoy it, because I know the franchise is so much more than the game allows me to do. I have virtually no choices.
After talking to Codsworth, I learn that everything has gone to shit and there's tons of raiders. I then go to Concorde to find out more. On the way I meet Dogmeat. As the player I don't trust this dog. Why would I? The last things I remember are my wife getting shot, my son getting kidnapped and Codsworth already told me that there's dangers all over the place. But I don't get a choice. He's my bestfriend immediately, the PC doesn't even get the option to be worried.
Okay, I then assume my PC is a naïve fella, because his pre-war life probably affects that.
The first people I meet are the minutemen. They're fighting the Raiders. The character I am, has no reason to shoot either of them. I get no explanation to --why-- I should help the minutemen, the game just assumes I'm gonna do it, because that's obviously the good guys. This here contradicts there entire interaction with Dogmeat.
I go on to shoot the raiders, helping some people I don't know at all. Then they tell me they're stuck there, and I'm their only hope. So what? I don't care for these guys and I frankly found Preston to be a dickhead. So I told them no, I don't want to. But I guess a no isn't a no, because I got the quest anyways. I couldn't even say no. And I couldn't even shoot the dickhead. I didn't have ANY say in what I wanted to do, it was all arbitrary speech options.

Depends on what you want from the game. If you wanted a role playing experience, they're definitely superior. Fuck this game has shitty dialogue. When 20 year old games have better dialogue options than your triple A "RPG", something is fucking wrong.

>Being able to join and do quests for factions
New Vegas did that.
>Somewhat well created world with a few big buts
>ONE FUCKING HUB IN THE WHOLE GAMEWORLD
Those are contradictory.
There rest is correct, both pros and cons.
>>122287786
I disagree with it being better.
New Vegas had plenty of exploration to be done.
A few examples:
>Unlike FO3, you can find uniques in the world
>There's plenty of small stories to find
>It allowed for a more slow-paced exploration
>The world makes sense from a design point of view (farms, water sources, caravans)
>Many more characters and quests to be found in the world
All of this enriched the world more for me. I found it much more immersive and fun to explorer than FO3, because the Capital Wasteland felt dead to me. After the first 10 hours I just knew I wouldn't get any rewards from exploring buildings for unique weapons etc. I also got so exhausted from fighting the constant waves of nameless Raiders and Super Mutants. Why are these guys so prominent? They're just generic baddies, I have no roleplaying reason to interact with them. It made the world of FO3 feel artificial and dead to me.
It's an overused term, but to me, the Capital Wasteland was mostly just a wasteland themepark.

>>122288458
Oh stop that shit. Half of what you said is stupid ("more slow paced exploration", right, you fucking faggot) and the other half is a fucking lie. You know why Tales of Two Wastelands was so popular? Because it allowed you to play with New Vegas' systems in the Fallout 3 map.
New Vegas had a better story, better items, better skill system, better perks, better crafting, better balance, better dialogues. Fallout 3's map was way more fun to explore. It's that fucking simple.
>>122288723
>>122288815
What? I'm trying to start a discussion about what issues I have with the game.
Fallout 4 is a good game, but not a good Fallout game.
I've put in over 20 hours so far, but I can't say I haven't felt put off by how many obvious faults in quest lines/world design I've seen. Like how there's never a non-violent solution to any quest. Or how there's newspapers from 200 years ago just sitting on the ground, apparently completely unaffected by centuries of weather.
>>122288136
>I get no explanation to --why-- I should help the minutemen, the game just assumes I'm gonna do it, because that's obviously the good guys
This gives me the fucking shits.
If it wasn't for the big red bar over the heads of one faction that tells you that they are "Raiders" you wouldn't know who the fuck anybody there was. The PC has literally no reason to get involved, and even if he had one he wouldn't know whose side the fuck to get involved on. Especially since as you explore "Raider" camps more often than not you uncover that they're normal people too, trying to survive in their own shitty way - not good people, but also not literally worse than Hitler. And, here's a novel thought, maybe my PC doesn't care if they are literally worse than Hitler.
But nope. You meet two groups shooting at each other and you get involved just cuz and you instinctively know who are the good guys and who are the bad guys because of the huge "THIS IS A (BAD) VIDEOGAME" immersion breaking arbitrary automatic enemy designation.
>>122288136
Pretty much this. People can like the game and find it "fun" somehow, but saying that it is a good game is objectively wrong.
Anyway, you will only get "go back to /v/" or "go back to NMA" because right now the general is filled with Bethdrones.
>>122288639
>>122288893
Not him, but I care about it too. I find a world that makes sense and is good to be more fun than a quirky theme park world where nothing makes sense.
>>122288903
Then you haven't played it yet.
Stop doing main story and play for a few days, maybe you'll like it.
>>122288657
Just bring a companion that's okay with it or likes it. You should tailor your companion choices to what you think you're gonna do/the type of quest.
>>122288265
Literally none.
NV was a great RPG with shitty gameplay and a ton of bugs. Modders can make the game better to play, but I doubt they can rewrite the quest code from the ground up. Honestly if I thought I could even slightly succeed, I would un hostile every named faction in fallout 4 and make them part of the world not just differently named raiders you kill anyway.
>>122288898
Then come right out with them and be irate about it. /vg/ isn't the place for careful pontification, its a place to scream angrily into a hellish void that will either echo back your rage or rebut you with malice.
>>122286547
Bethesda are so reliant on the mod community to fix their shitty PC ports that they don't even try anymore.
>>122283954
Why is there even a size limit? For consoles I understand, but shouldn't the PC version be unhinged because of the superior hardware?
>>122288314
Yeah you can play on
>>122288898
Your post only made sense when you spoke about how stupid the game is when it comes to the story, and everyone agrees with you on that point. You're contributing nothing while claiming the game is shit because it's "only" fun, never mind that the reason it's fun is because it has great environment design, fun combat mechanics unless you're using melee, has a complex world to explore and involves planning and exploration.
The story is shit. The dialogue system is shit. The UI is shit. The rest of the game is great fun however.
>>122288271
yeah the dialogue is really off and i did want roleplaying... well, it is what it is

>>122288893
>more slow paced exploration
You're allowed to do that, because you're not confronted with constant armies of raiders and mutants.
I didn't think FO3's world was better to explore in any way what so ever. It's not an objective fact. I have already said several things I found to be much better in The Mojave.
You ARE right about one thing not being true: the lack of uniques found in the world. I never found them in 30 hours playing TTW, so I just assumed there was none other than quest rewards.
>>122289148
I liked the story ;_;
>>122289027
We're not talking about whether it makes sense but whether it's intricate and fun to explore. Fallout 3 was way superior to NV in that regard.
Yes, as said, NV is better in every other aspect and it's why almost everyone considers it superior. But right now, you guys are saying a gun is better at cutting a steak than a knife because the gun is such a better weapon. That's such a stupid reasoning that it's difficult to imagine what's wrong with you.
>>122287508

>more varieties of stealth enemies, such as ghouls pretending to be dead or chameleon deathjaws

>better UI color customization

>more NPCs in cities, even if they are generic residents it makes it seem more alive
>cities actually feel like fucking cities for once, mazes of buildings and so on instead of just a single crumbled street or a bunch of metro stations like Fo3 and NV
It has it's downsides, but I don't think I'm gonna be able to replay the older games besides 1 and 2 after this. It's improved upon a lot of little things but at the same time ruined some parts that you'd expect from a fallout game. It's a good game if you play it as it's own game, but I guess I can see the problem when you expect nothing but more of the same.
>>122289148
I never claimed the game was shit. It has its own merits. I particularly find the settlement implementation to be a good feature for example, same with the movement changes.
However, that doesn't mean I can't criticize what I think is the most important part of the Fallout series -- the characters and the quests.
I just want hugs
power armor hugs
>>122289331
> ntricate and fun to explore.
Again, I didn't find Fallout 3 superior in that regard.
I've put several reasons why I personally found FO3's world less fun to explore, I don't know why you keep digging in it.
reminder that mods ruined beth
that's right
you are the ones to blame for fallout being shit
>>122289006
This is something that's bothered me too. You guys are wrong about the initial raiders you find (they WILL shoot at you as soon as they see you, so they're definitely hostile), but even Fallout 1 could have you be non-hostile to the Khans, of all people. Having your character get involved in that when he has no clue what's going on and who these people are and while he's looking for his son is just stupid. Hell, even if he knows the raiders are hostile because they shot at him, he has no idea whether the people the raiders were shooting at were any better than the raiders themselves.
And if raiders shoot everyone who comes in sight, why do we never see raiders fighting each other? What the fuck is up with that?
>>122289536

It's kinda ironic, but it's true to some extend.
They've become lazier and lazier for each release, relying a lot more on the community to fix the glaring issues with their releases.
The story isn't shit, it's average, and many missions are quite hilarious.

>Everything about Fallout 4 seems carefully and quite elegantly done, the map is gorgeous, the characters are well crafted and the enemies are plentiful.

>>122289783
People focus too much on the negative changes since Fallout 3 and NV. We got better voice actors (4-5 voice actors per sex was just awful), more places to explore, bigger places to explore, gunplay that is better than that of most modern shooters, a kickass weapon and armour modification system, settlement building, actually interesting companions, real power armour, improved yet at times clunky animations... I have probably forgotten a few things.
I hope we get a legion dlc after the enclave one.

>>122290098
WHAT????
>>122290203
I don't think people don't like these changes, I think it's people (at least for me) still feel let down.
We got all these upgrades, but they took so much out of the game that was important to the series. You can't roleplay properly anymore. You can't interact with most characters. You can't finish quests in different paths. You can't control what you say well.
The game just takes a huge step back from some of the strengths of the previous titles.
It did a lot of good things, that's what I always try to say when I discuss this. But it did cost a lot of soul from the previous games.
>>122290314
A step down from NV though.
Forgot to add that the world has never been as vibrant as it is now to the list, even with outdated graphics.
Are there things like night vision goggles in this game?
It would look fantastic with the attire I'm going for.
>no big booty mods yet
sm.h, why does the modding community even exist
It really is worth blitzing through the main quest up to killing Kellogg, just so the BoS moves in and the world gets much more alive.
I just had a Vertibird almost crash into me thanks to a bunch of Super Mutant chucklefucks shooting it down.
>>122290474
Paradox bought the IP and Obsidian showed interest in making the new VtM game.
>>122290491
That part is the biggest let down I admit. I think the main character sounds too timid, it's difficult to roleplay anything but a mr nice guy.
