Pre-war thread:>>137169068
first for nate a cuck
First for survival snack
look what you've done faggots
I haven't seen it listed or on Nexus, so I'm gonna ask here.
Is there a mod to get rid of that awful detail-load-line? My fade distance is set to maximum in every category, and the horizon is super far, but maybe 300 meters ahead there is always a noticeable line. Pls halp.

Fallout 4 is already ruined by casuals with how dumbed-down it is.
What date do you exit the vault in Fallout 4?
How long has your character been living in the wasteland? I want to try and get a character up in in game years.
Is there an even more OP legendary besides explosive minigun?

I know I could just look it up, but is that hospital actually connected to Railroad quests? I just stumbled upon it randomly and it was really enjoyable.
>>137216189
>i ruined my shit with pre geck mods
>>137216324
Yes. One of the later RR quests sends you to that hospital to find out what happened to the RR members there.
I actually visited that hospital like 30 hours before I actually discovered the Railroad as a faction and not just some background lore/story in some holotapes.
>>137215742
These stupid arguments could have easily been avoided by just letting everything be toggled on or off, like any other setting video games have.
>>137216074
Casualization isn't solved by removing options, especially in a buggy-ass god damn game that, among other lovely things, is likely to crash on you before you have a chance to save next. This is why Survival Mode, as it stands, is shit. It needs to have every feature be an option.

>>137217250
>"It's a beta" is no excuse for fucking up something so simple as "give everyone options".
You're either being deliberately obtuse or the modern vidya industry has warped your understanding of the term beta.
It's a fucking opt-in, clearly marked beta which they've said since Survival mode was announced was intended to get balance feedback from players. It's not intended for you to pick and choose. If they wanted details on the number of people who toggled on save anywhere or fast travel they'd make those options.

They probably don't have enough T60 suits for all of their infantry. I think they were patrolling a residential area anyway, so they probably didn't need a full squad of power-armored dudes to keep the peace, nor any of the really heavy combat armor for the regular infantry dudes. Also, it's a cutscene.

You know why you're arguing? You're arguing because you choose to willfully ignore the fact that this has never been an issue for the beta before, and therefore willfully ignore that most people who modded the game didn't expect this problem to arise, hence their ire.

>>137218102
>you choose to willfully ignore the fact that this has never been an issue for the beta before
You choose to wilfully ignore that previous betas have been bug fixes or hype-building stealth releases in the case of Automatron.
You're arguing because you're invested in the narrative that Bethesda is some evil fucking empire out to ruin modders' fun and/or are pissy that Survival mode isn't exactly like Hardcore in New Vegas.
>>137218484
I'd read the T&Cs closely to see if it calls that out. Might be a way to report usage statistics for the beta.

These are opinions, not facts. I can understand why you'd hold those opinions because often bugs that were gratuitously reported in the beta would turn up in the official patches, but they are opinions nonetheless.
And you're just wrong about everything else.

The only place for console mods? Sure. But on the PC? I doubt it. They didn't come out of last year's debacle unscathed. Even the websites that went easy on them were still critical of the terms, and there was hardly a website that didn't talk about it.
>>137218801
Surely you can detect when something is caused by mods and when it isn't. Especially when all this really involves is a couple of guys in Beth playing a modded version of the game. You soon learn what shape the errors take.
I get TTW struggling with that, but when you have so many just playing the base game and you yourself have the base game as a reference point how would this be a problem? Especially given this is all an assumption that it wouldn't be useful for beth (and the modding community) to know what mods set shit off. After all, they want to make a lot of DLC.

I am 100% certain they'll use Bethesda.net as a normies' modding portal, with their own downloader/installer. I'm just very skeptical that they'd piss in the pool again so soon and make it the only way to mod. (Which we know it's not, since we have mods now. The only way they could do it is to have GECK mods exclusively upload to their service, and that's just begging for another shitstorm of bad PR.)

>>137221261
A foil is a character that contrasts with another character to highlight the qualities of the character it contrasts with. qualities, actions, and motivations cannot be foils to one another. What Nick's altruism may be is an excuse to hurt himself. A reason to put himself in harm's way so that he may one day be destroyed.

>>137221860
>implying his brain didn't just translate that as PAID MODS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>137221157
Okay, it occurred to me first when it's suggested Nick be hooked up to Kellogg's brain implant with the warning that doing so could be incredibly dangerous. Nick immediately goes "Let's do it", not in a "It's for the best" way, which you could interpret it as if you weren't really thinking about it, but in a way that suggested he jumped at the opportunity to be in harms way.
That led me to reflect on how he is constantly putting himself in harms way, and how he uses the Original Nick's altruism to push that. Why would he need to tear himself apart repairing things in diamond city? You don't see anyone else doing that.
"You look like you lost a fight with a deathclaw" "Who says I lost?" replies Nick, as if there was actually purpose in his getting more disfigured.
I just bought the first fallout on Steam the other day, I've never played it before and the only other fallout games I've played is 3, New Vegas, and a little bit of 4. Could anyone give me some tips before I spend my entire weekend playing this game?
>>137222192
I think its that he sees his life as a borrowed one and thus less valuable than than lives of people who are not brain scans in husks.
For those of you who actually buy games, greenmangaming is selling the season pass for 29.99 USD right now and you can use SPRING20 to take it down to 24 USD

To put it simply, his altruistic nature puts his self harming tendencies in good light (That is to say, somewhat disregarded as being in existence separate from his altruism). I think the self harming aspect of his actions is just as conscious, though.
>>137222192
I don't think he's suicidal or actively seeks to put himself in harms way, but I do think he at least considers himself lesser than the real Nick, and thus doesn't put as much value on not harming himself.
>>137222552

Is it worth it keeping Ada around after you finish the automatron quest chain or does she just become just another robot with the usual run of the mill dialogue?
>>137221886
Yes, this. I really think Nick was deliberately written this way.
>>137222338
This is possible.
Consider that Nick's position could be interpreted as someone with a massively extended life trying to end it by altruistic sacrifice for the people around him (The latter part coming naturally as a function of his personality).
Eddie Winter, conversely, could be interpreted as someone who sacrificed those around him selfishly in order to achieve a massively extended life (The kicker being this also involved self-harm).
The SS enters the play, Nick's altruism gets reciprocated, and Eddie Winter gets killed, because he has no one to support him.

Woah woah woah there, friend. I built me a waifu, crafted her lovingly with parts I scrounged for across the wasteland with the intent to make her perfect and just for me.
And I never said I'd discard her, Just wanted to know if she's got special commentary that made her more valuable as a regular at the main base or have her continue her original duties and run a caravan between my settlements.
>>137218532
I don't understand this.
IIRC, the narration at the time was about shortages, so the footage implies that this was a riot/looting of some kind.
But that looks like an industrial factory or power plant of some kind.
I bought automatron today, and finished the main quest.
so now im wondering where the fuck do i get all the rubber/adhesive/ceramics i need for omre robots.
Don't suppose I could con anyone into making a mod that replaces the MM flag flying above the castle with the BoS flag?

>>137222991
I think her voice is different from all the others, but I guess there's just nostalgia options as reasons to keep her.
Kinda disappointing that she didn't really have anything to her outside of the mq for the dlc. I keep her around as my personalized deathbot because she's one of the companions whose commentary on me picking up junk isn't annoying as all fuck.
>>137222656
When he related saving the Mayor's daughter, the lie he told her captors involved his imminent self-destruction as well. It's this reoccurring theme with Nick.

>>137223590
Rubber is hard to scav, so check stores.
Ceramic is easy to scavenge, look for plates and mugs in places they would be.
Adhesive is pretty easy to get, set up a farm with the components to cook vegetable starch.
>>137223590

Go to ever settlement and scrap every tire.Then scavenge around those settlements and carry any tire you can back into the build zone and scrap it.

Eyo, anyone up for some mod theorycrafting?
I'm pretty happy that the equipment and guns can be very easily brought up to what NV had.

what does that have to do with the MM flag being turned into a brotherhood flag
Why did Bethesda feel the need to remove all dialog checks except for Charisma? It's so shit making an intelligent character, and then having no Intelligence dialog, you're still forced to act dumb and shoot everything. No diplomatic solutions to quests.

What mod?
all my armor is too tight on naked bodies and certain armors that treat the body as naked with cbbe. how can i fix this?
I didn't ask for this.
>>137225169
tbqh lads whats the point of Intelligence in this game?
Genuine question
>>137225169
Bethesda casualized the shit out of Fo4.
It's an FPS with roleplaying elements.
>>137225759
Access to perks, slightly boosted XP gain and more points means less red herring words in hacking.
>>137225759
Just access to perks really.
>>137225169
It's a casualty of the voiced PCs. Voice acting is expensive and for all the shit we give bethesda over their dialogue options in the game, their are still an absolute fuckton of recorded lines.
Though I will say that everything to do with the Silver Shroud is pretty goddamn fantastic. Also that there are many lines in the game that are enjoyablely delivered. The sarcastic ones in particular tend to fairly neat.
>>137225169
wow, i made that pic way back when they did the e3 presentation
I want to fuck cait
>>137226140

>>137225968
are u srs? they literally waisted all their VA budget on having codsworth able to verbally say like 100 different names...most of which appeal to a fucking 10 year olds sense of humour
>>137225968
Every word that comes out of the SS's mouth is a fraction of the VA budget that could have been spent on unique NPCs or alternate quest dialogue.
It's interesting but they shouldn't have done it. It's too limiting for Fallout.
Don't even get me started on the non-option dialogue wheel.
>>137226190
She'd eat my shit if I took her chems and let her withdrawal long enough
>>137225759
Perks perks and more perks. 8 int min for power armor characters. most other stats are fairly useless as well
STR for example, each point of STR = 1 more melee damage. That big honkin power hammer you got that swings for 300 damage? having a beer will make it 301 damage!
PER, even for sniper characters is pretty worthless unless you spend all your time in VATS. fuck, PER is mostly for demo expert.
CHA people praise and live every character with high CHA or people ignore it just enough for lone wanderererer
>>137226201
There's like 2000 names on the Codsworth list.
14.5k lines for the protagonist, times two for gender.
>>137225968
>>137226207
Voice acting is expensive, sure, and it definitely limits the amount of dialogue options you can have in the game. But having a voiced PC doesn't mean there couldn't have been different kind of speech checks or skill checks in dialogue. We have proof that most of the time 3/4 dialogue options are barely different versions of the same thing. All they would've had to do was replace some of those bullshit lines with some actual speech/skill checks.
>>137226140
you are not alone
Is there a stat or something that makes lockpicking easier similar to how int makes hacking easier?
>>137226419
No. Enjoy wasting perk points.
>>137226419
only lockpicking magazines or lockpicking affix legendary armor
>>137226654
>>137226679
righto thx lads
>>137226207
I'm not saying that I love the voiced pc, or that it was absolutely the right way to go. I'm just explaining how I think bethesda thought through the whole thing, based on what they gave us in the game.
>>137226419
>having trouble with lockpicking
Are you playing with fucking oven mitts on? Or whilst incredibly drunk? Maybe with a shitty controller?
All three maybe?
Cus the minigame is piss easy and you should have a billion fucking lockpicks if you bother looting places at all.
>>137226407
>All they would've had to do was replace some of those bullshit lines with some actual speech/skill checks.
They've been moving away from restricting players since Oblivion. Most people (read: the ones who subsidize our fun little Bethesda modding sandboxes) don't play a second character, or even necessarily finish the game on a first one. They jump in, do some epic stuff like in the trailers, maybe follow some questlines and then quit at level 30 when something else shiny distracts them. They'll come back for DLC and continue with that level 30ish save, and drop it again when they get their moneys worth out of the DLC.
Locking content behind requirements (see Morrowind's guild membership restrictions) doesn't make sense when most of your players will never see more than one of them. That's why I was surprised the faction choices in Fallout 4 were actual choices, not just "Yo BoS are good guys Institute bad, go kill them in power armor."
Sadly, this is the state of the videogames industry in 2016. Anyone who thinks the people at Bethesda enjoy making watered down shooters is a fucking moron, those people are just doing their jobs and cursing silently at the Zenimax people who hold the purse strings.
The Silver Shroud stuff was great and the game would be lesser without it
Voiced protag in general was a mistake, though
Blew a lot of budget on that
>>137215208
Putting "/tesg" in the OP just makes this thread appear on my /tesg search bookmark on the catalog.
You are only making the problem worse.
>>137226864
If he's not playing with V-sync on, I know the lockpicking minigame can break your lockpicks excessively fast. Or he needs to git mediocre
>>137226407
Yeah but for each you'd have to have a fail and success response from the NPC so they've had to limit the checks because the two voices PCs ate 75% of the VA budget that would otherwise be spent on NPC response.
Having a variety of different checks also means more voice work needed for the PCs themselves, if the player is going to have the option of using a variety of SPECIAL attributes to pass checks, you need VA for each one as opposed to just Charisma.
Bethesda sacrificed a lot on the altar of voiced protagonists.
>>137226892
>Voiced protag in general was a mistake, though
>Blew a lot of budget on that
It also probably netted them a lot of sales from casuals, and at the end of the day money wins every argument.

>>137226985

CURSE YOU CAPITALISM!!
>>137226892
Eh, I'd say it's an interesting experience at least. It's good for telling the story of a prewar person being dropped into the wasteland, even if bethesda kinda fumbled on the writing, albeit a bit less that usual. Now Bethesda absolutely shouldn't make a voiced PC again, but I've been done being upset over the voiced protagonist and dialogue options for almost half a year now.
>>137226965
That and I think they really wanted to make Charisma relevant. And from playing my high Cha character, it really doesn't feel like they did a good job. Yeah getting local leader is good, but the speech checks themselves suck, most of the time it's just.
Hey about 100 caps
Can I get 100 more?
Come on another 100.

lewd mods soon?
>>137226190
she did anyway
>>137226864
Never said I'm having trouble with it. Just asking whether there's a mechanic similar to int for hacking. Hacking isn't particularly difficult either, but knowing int helps it is useful.
>>137227362
Bethesda Softworks =/= Bethesda Game Studios
Pete is PR for BethSoft, which is a publisher and the step between the studio and Zenimax. It's his job to spin the shitty decisions that the money men hand down as a good thing.

oh, that's fair enough
still though, I don't exactly think Emil's writing a god awful story in every game because the jews at Zenimax are telling him to

That's cruel.

But I think the cap is 80% discount on items.. cant remember. but high CHA builds are great

ironic post of the year

just play the damn vanilla game you cheater
>>137227632
Emil is a shitty writer, but I bet even he's hamstrung by it.
Hell, he might be a genius for all we know and his ideas just get shafted by the constraints.But I doubt that very much.

you fucking bastard

it sucked dick using other comps besides Cait and Nick and just waiting their perks

Bethesda people certainly enjoy their jobs, apparently enough for most of them to have worked there for 8+ years.
>>137227868
Their talent hasn't improved one bit. Sad!

they enjoy their $$$ kiddo

They're on a salary you fucking moron. They might get a bonus if they hit one or more KPIs but that's the same of almost every salaried position.
when do the raiders start raiding?

>Man, this football team sure is playing shitty this year. It's because they're not getting better and not because the owner says they have to play without pads!
I don't know how you consider this a good argument.
They're well paid and use the same engine for every fucking game yet the quality doesn't improve. They improve on their strengths and forget their weaknesses
