If there's just one reference to fnv I'll be happy knowing Bethesda doesn't completely despise obsidian for making a far better game than they ever could.

SweetFX totally is awesome and not complete garbage! Yeh bro it is when you're not a wanker who doesnt understand how options work or downloads some poo poo preset from another wanker! If you just use sweetfx to add abit of sharpening and smaa and thats it guess what happens! Sweetfx is cool if you know what you're doing, most dont and you end up with the hilarious crushed blacks bullshit. Vikar Jerome fucked around with this message at 11:04 on Nov 1, 2015 |

Welp assuming "Survival" difficulty is what I think it is, and also actually real, I think I'll use that. Though if it just changes every raider into a giant damage sponge then screw it

If Bethesda actually paid attention to popular mods then Survival might reduce health, for everything, seeing as almost every good balance mod does that to one extent or another. Make the game much more lethal, for both enemies and the player. I'd be super down for that, especially if it also has basic-needs stuff as well. Of course, this IS Bethesda we're talking about, so it probably jacks up enemy health so much that it makes UVHM in Borderlands look fun and fair by comparison.

"Yaos" posted:One thing I noticed from the E3 video is that it seems there are no restrictions on mods other than your perk rank. If that's true, you could stick some ridiculous mods on weapons that make no sense, like a laser shotgun with a sniper scope. The Real Ultimate Weapon Customisation Test in any videogame is to take a sniper rifle and see if the game will let you remove the scope from it entirely and just run around with the iron sights. MGSV had really cool weapon customisation but I was so bummed out to see it insisted on scoping your rifle. You could compromise and use a red dot sight, but that's not the same.

Well 4 has that going for it at least. You can take off the scope and run around with iron sights on your sniper rifle. Scopes go under the sights modification group, so you can throw a marksman stock and a long barrel on a gun with iron sights and presto, there you are.

Reducing HP for everything kind of messes with the combat balance and would probably make some perks too good or not good enough.

As long as you can look at the effects of perks even if you don't have the SPECIAL to take them we should know about the basic level of all the perks some time today. At least, assuming that goon that found a store that broke street-date pops back in and reports as they said they would today.

enraged_camel posted:No, I would prefer a variety of minigames that are fun rather than tedious. Perhaps with skill rewarding elements such as opening a locked container on first try giving a chance to result in more loot. Can anyone give an example of a good hacking/lockpicking mini game? I remember the ones in DX:HR were absolutely awful and I could never figure them out. I like the ones in FO3 because they were overly simplistic, fast, and unobtrusive. They did a good job of conveying the illicit nature of breaking and entering without being difficult and therefore tedious and frustrating. You could actually break locks well above your skill level if you were careful which I really enjoyed.

You could actually break locks well above your skill level if you were careful which I really enjoyed. Shadowrun: Dragonfall has a FANTASTIC hacking minigame. Whenever you hack into a terminal, you get transported into a 3D virtual reality environment where you have to use specialized skills to destroy the program's defensive countermeasures -- bots, basically -- and get to your objective (e.g. turn off the security system). And the number and strength of the specialized skills (as well as how long you get to stay in the VR environment) is determined by your hacking skill.  The awesome thing about that is that every terminal in the game has its own unique VR map layout that you have to beat, and there's different hacking "sub-skills". So it never gets repetitive.

Just looking at it you can tell how impractical it is, especially if you plan in playing with a keyboard and mouse. That thing is going on a nearby shelf so I can look at it and if I ever find myself needing to use the companion app for this game I'll just use my phone normally.

Personally, I don't mind Beth's mini games. They're fast and conceptually fitting. Would be great if they added some variation - there are lots of different locks and computer systems. I think variation and option is what players really want, rather than replacing the one system with a new.

That sounds like it would get really annoying if you had to hack with the frequency you pick locks/hack in Fallout or something like Deus Ex. Not played Shadowrun yet though, I'm guessing it's balanced out timewise.
