Fresh NMAers can't prevent a Bethesda Fallout from getting high critical scores or great commercial numbers that they feel it doesn't deserve, so they go for the moral victory of user scores to make themselves feel better. Before I restart, I'm having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around certain perks. The ones with bonuses to 1h/2h weapons work for ballistic and energy weapons, but the crafting perks for weapons is differentiated between low tech and high tech, right? Or are there low-tech upgrades that require the high-tech perks?

Also I really hate that there's no snap on building stuff. I cleared out an entire loving house and I want to square a new building on the foundation so that I don't have foundation sticking out, but to do that I need to line the first wall piece exactly square with the foundation or I will forever have a building that is off the foundation a hair and I'm OCD and that will give me an aneurysm christ

Somehow I like base building in this game. All that turrets and outposts. You can build your own Fort Goonion (don't know yet if you even get challenged to lose it or get destroyed). UI is poo poo, though.

So, in the BOS questline when you get the vertibird grenades they're essentially useless (other than giving you a chance to fly over the wasteland with a minigun because you can't travel to places you haven't been yet. So it's just a slower "fast travel" - bummer. Let me use it to fly out to where I want to go!

I was going around just merrily scraping everything not really caring hell or high water what I was scrapping but then I realized I wasn't getting any items at all. Is it possible that in "scavenge mode" you can scrap ammo that is stored in a desk or drawer? I noticed a few items in suitcases but when I scrapped the suitcase the item disappeared. Is this happening? I don't wanna be scrapping ammo on accident I scrapped the cooking station at sanctuary and can't get another one (don't have the perk to build one and won't have it for a while) ... is there a console command to summon a cooking station? I googled it and had no luck finding a list of summonable items Meowbot fucked around with this message at 09:15 on Nov 11, 2015 |

Yeah, after muddling about for most of today I think I'm realizing CHA is a dump stat (again). It sounded like it was the best way to become a master wordsmith and community leader, but even with the right combination of items giving me a nearly permanent 8 CHA I'm routinely failing most orange speech checks (or maybe the RNG just hates me). And then to top it all off, the Speech bobblehead doesn't actually make you better at speech! loving guys. I also left END at 1 because none of the perks interested me, so playing on hard I'm getting routinely cut down by anything bigger than a bloatfly. Looks like another reroll on the way! Anyway, questions: -Does Scrapper actually work? I was melting pipe pistols and rifles and still getting the same sets of steel I always did. Does it just hit randomly? What am I doing wrong?? -Okay, everyone in this thread instinctively chose 'HATE NEWSPAPERS' when they got to Diamond City, right? -Is melee even viable without pumping STR/END to the detriment of everything else? I've literally found one unarmed weapon in the 10-12 hours I've played and even the random upgraded melee weapons I've pulled off of various legendary enemies have been weak compared to almost every gun I have. -I got the companion who can hack terminals, but am put off by the fact that he shares the same VA as the Skyrim Thieves Guild boss who betrays you and it pretty much ruined him for me. Is there another companion who can pick locks instead so I just have to put points in one or the other? Also, can the companions take care of master-level terminals/locks? -Did anyone not change the bright green text/pip-boy? Jesus. I never thought I'd say this, but Fallout 3's puke-colored yellow-green was subdued by comparison. -How do I hook up with other settlements? I don't like Sanctuary or Red Rocket that much, but I've been running all over the map (followed the main quest up to that guy at that fort and did that first BoS quest too) and nothing has really popped up. -Does joining the BoS lock you out of anything? They seem like the same annoying assholes that they were in F3 (as opposed to the lovable assholes of 1/2/NV) but I'm willing to bet they've got some great loot to steal back at HQ.

Finally got the game to run flawless 1080p60 at ultra with no stutters or hitching, gently caress me it's a revelation. Especially at ultra, the graphics are really gorgeous. I don't think still screenshots do it any justice at all. What worked for me was a complete shot in the dark; I literally copied and pasted iFPSClamp=60 from my Skyrim ini file. I remember setting that to help with Skyrim stuttering all those years ago. Some things never change

Ok, last post for the night, just faught another legendary goul, this one had a great drop on it too.  Survival mode is bad rear end. Also laser muskets are pretty cook, they can be over charged (reload more than once) The default ones can hold 2 charges, meaning they do double damage, do this while sneaking for a quick 4x damage, they can also be upgraded to a whopping 6 charges, meaning that at default sneak one shot is the same as 12. Plan Z posted:It appears that giving yourself CHR boosts with clothing or grape mentats can improve chances of passing a speech roll without the color actually changing. It's what I did to gain access into a secret compound. Even though the dialogue choice was red, i passed it on the first try after previously failing it without CHR boosters. I think this is just an issue of the visual indicator only checking your base stats, not the modified ones. so a 10 charisma would show green for example, pretty easy to check if thats the case, and Ill do it the next time its an option, just console in a 10 cha, check the dialog, then console it back.

Oh, I just meant to find them, but the guy above seems to have that covered. Thanks, though! Speaking of that that local leader perk though, is that first rank just to transport materials between settlements or is there more to it? And is the second the only way to get merchants at your settlements? The whole setup is very opaque.

So when I was taking back the Castle and fighting the Mirelurk Queen, Preston decided it was time to go save some settlement from raiders. It was a huge pain in the rear end, but I guess there is a respawning Minuteman with an automatic weapon, so I can just ran around the Castle taking pot shots at the Queen with a train of Mirelurk babies chasing me, while the Minuteman laid into the Queen. Then it wouldn't complete breaking all the eggs because Preston wasn't present. NPCs are great.

Gridlocked posted:How do I establish supply lines? Find a no-name "Settler" that's not doing anything and in the Workshop Menu, you should be able to order them to form a supply line with another settlement. They then become a "provisioner" that helps other settlements by sharing some of the power/water resources they generate.

I spent a good part of today doing settlement stuff and have like 10 settlements and I don't recommend it. However once you get them setup and defended they mostly are self sustaining. The problem is the only way you will have enough parts to build all the defenses they need is to use the console to spawn them.
