How do you tell Dogmeat to stop following you? Just tell him to stay at a certain point and he will? I heard talk of being able to build a doghouse for him, but I don't see the option. I can't wait for a mod that keeps a targeting reticle up when you hold right click to zoom in. Why Iron Sights is a thing in games now, I'll never know. Few hours in, and I'm already having more fun than NV.

I just need more ammo. Something gets close, change to it, and turn it into a colander of flesh. Also, gently caress Survival difficulty. Holy poo poo, legendary bloodbugs are some motherfuckers, hard as poo poo to hit with bullets, and they can take a 12 shots from the 10mm, or four/five rounds from a sawed off.

ImpAtom posted:Thin armor counts as base. The little pipboy icon will show you what armor slots a piece of armor takes up but a good general rule is that thin armor has no defensive stats but usually some other bonus. (Usually a 1-2 SPECIAL stat bonus.) If it is thin armor you can layer atop it. If it is thick armor you can't. I don't know if you're playing a different game from me, but that is just flat out not true in this one. Almost every piece of "thin armor" or armor with 0 damage resistance, or no damage resistance at all, is incapable of being used with any individual armor piece. At least when I try to equip them. Then you have other items like the Drifter's Outfit, Kellogg's outfit, or Cage Armor which is a full set in and of itself, and then you've got stuff like the Athletics outfit which only protects the legs with armor but is a full body suit when you equip it, so you need a separate chest piece and two arm pieces. Granted I haven't been trying on every single piece of gear I've found, but so far only the Vault Tec suits give you stats without armor while letting you equip something else (with the exception of the Atheletics outfit and one other I found which protect only some parts of the body). nessin fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Nov 10, 2015 |

It's a sandwich   Found ~4 super mutants walking along, one of them was the suicidey kind. Had 1 missile and a missile launcher.  I got this legendary knife after killing a legendary alpha mutt  Found this legendary armor after killing a legendary mirelurk while fetching some ~ultra rare murder-baseball memorabilia~  I can't stop playing this goddamn game it's so good  Has anyone checked if the companion app makes the workforce task management less terrible somehow? Is this what it feels like to manage a McDonalds? Fallout 4: McDonalds Management Simulator Edit: bobble-head holder is under miscellaneous decorations

I saw a Suicider Super Mutant for the first time among a bunch of his buddies, and shot him hoping for a bit of fratricide. It was only as he came running towards me that I saw he was carrying a loving mini-nuke under his arm like a deranged quarterback. Barely got a lucky shot to set it off moments before he could give me a nuclear tan.

Fintilgin posted:How do I tell a companion (like the dog for example) to stop being my companion and leave me alone so I can get my lone wanderer bonus? Talk to Dog then there should be a "Leave the Party" option. It's not "Stay", it's the option that shows up if you actually Talk to Dog. Seriously people how do generators and electricity work though? Wiring lightbulbs doesn't work and it appears you need to put Generators inside of everything that needs power? That can't be right.

Two things I cannot stand in this game are the inability to remap the E key for looting and the inability to map anything to the numpad. I usually use numpad 1 and 0 to sprint and jump, now every time I press numpad zero out of habit, he wastes a stimpak instead of jumps. Can Autohotkey fix this mess? I have no idea how to use autohotkey.

This is a bit unintuitive at first - you start by activating the companion as if you were directing them around, but then you have to get close to them for the dialog wheel to pop up. There you can use the "Talk" option to get the option of dismissing them.

Just put all of your junk in the workbench/armor crafting bench/weapon crafting bench, it should've told you about it, the first time that you started crafting. I got a notification about it the first time I used a bench. Starhawk64 posted:So what's the goon hivemind consensus of this game?

I have had one bug where I got stuck, but it just took a little bit of jumping to get unstuck. The weapons are all pretty awesome, and I really enjoy the recoil/sound/feel of the guns I have found so far. I am playing on Survival mode, and so far haven't got much past the 10mm and pipe pistol. This is going to be a long long game.

This is like the 5th time I've seen this exact question asked which really speaks to how much better Bethesda could have explained this in-game. You can open up the workbench or any workshop in a settlement and transfer poo poo to it, once in the settlement pool things will automatically be scrapped as you need the components.

Samurai Sanders posted:Me too, but I guess all that means is that I will never know if I would have been more effective in action games if I had started with my left hand from the beginning. Southpaw also. If I use a mouse with my left instead of right hand it feels wrong... but I'm at least as accurate with it, if not slightly moreso. I switch back to the right as soon as possible because it feels so weird, but I can pretty clearly see tell that if I forced myself to get used to it I'd probably be looking at responsiveness and precision like I had in my teens. Specific gamechat: so the clock speed for everything in-game is tied to framerate, there's a video on Reddit and I'm sure it's somewhere a page or ten back here also. It actually looks BETTER at 144. Physics for falling objects seems better, movement seems better, just in general it's tighter-looking. If there aren't any ways in which this breaks the game that seems like the way to go if you've got a monitor that supports it.

I'm definitely way way more interested in the story of F4 than F3 or NV both. Also everybody said the shooting was about the same, and it is about the same, but it feels a bit tighter and better overall too. I was kinda surprised, it feels decent. Its still no proper FPS but its better than F3 shooting by a bit. And the way the new VATS doesn't completely pause time is kinda cool. People still look ugly (Bethesda really needs to hire some new artists who can draw people) but everything else looks pretty cool, reminds me more of Bioshock Infinite than Fallout 3. The only thing I haven't liked so far was Hey here's your wife, whoops, now she's dead. That's purely character motivation, not player motivation. I as the player have no idea who my wife is as a person and have no real reason to give a poo poo about her other than you telling me that my character does. That's really weak storytelling. Its pretty much just as dumb as opening NV by having you get shot in the head. Only I guess its more believable. MisterBibs posted:How do you tell Dogmeat to stop following you? Just tell him to stay at a certain point and he will? I heard talk of being able to build a doghouse for him, but I don't see the option. You talk to him and tell him to stay. No idea how long he'll wait for you. (forever? Awhile? no clue) To build a doghouse you need to have a settlement and a house and stuff probably. There's a whole building mode that you have to trigger by doing some stuff. Probably need that to build the doghouse and then tell him to wait there permanently.

Honestly though the Minuteman outfit is so good that it was a long time before I replaced it. It's a bonus to AGI and PER which is fantastic for almost any build while also accepting armor pieces.

One little change, the way you interact with containers in this game is strictly superior to Skyrim and Fallout 3. Really saves a ton of time to just look at things and see their inventory and be able to rifle through them.Neddy Seagoon posted:Out of curiosity, Is playing as the wife the inverse?

This is actually my biggest problem! I'm supposed to care about the husband and kid, but they give you zero reason to, except MUST CARE ABOUT BABY. Talking to Codsworth after you leave the vault at the beginning gives you four dialogue non-choices, since they all boil down to WHERES MY BABY. What's the point in having dialogue choices if they're all basically the same thing. There's like zero options for any roleplaying outside of what Bethesda wants you to do. At least FO3 gave you the option to go "no, you shut the gently caress up dad" when you find him.
