On this topic: how noticeable is the damage resistance from armor? Am I going to be totally screwed if I run around in a cool duster instead of in piecemeal Mad Max armor? (I'm guessing yes, but hoping no.)

I just found the best armor; a Greaser Jacket & Jeans and I refuse to take it off, so I'm also wondering about this.

Also, for anyone on PC who met minimum specs but didn't hit recommended - I'm running an AMD system (shut up) and didn't hit Recommended on a couple of categories and it defaulted me to Ultra. After turning off God Rays, it runs like a dream.

Also, if you turn God Rays to OFF, then play the game, and exit, the next time you load it up, God Rays will have defaulted back to LOW. You need to turn it off again. Even on Low, you can feel them.

Yep, I'm running a 6ish year old (maybe 5) PC with whatever i5 was around then and an AMD 7800 (?), and it defaulted me to Ultra but I bumped it down to high, turned down shadows and AA, and it runs like a champ.

How big of a difference does perception make for VATS accuracy? Even with 7, it doesn't seem to make shots of specific body parts very feasible except at point blank range. Sans perks, seems like trading it for more action points from agility would be a no-brainer.

It actually has nothing to do with minecraft and instead is because weapon crafting mods were extremely overwhelmingly popular for New Vegas.

So go gently caress yourself because gun crafting is super awesome.

When I replace a part on a gun I get it in my inventory. Is there a way to scrap those extra parts? I don't need a million standard x parts.

Also how do I equip stuff on Dog? I gave him a couple dog collars and he won't wear either of them.

Tons more [legendaries]. I've lost count of how many I have fought at this point.

I was lead to believe that Very Hard maxes out the number of legendaries, and Survival just made the game even harder. Is this not the case? Does anyone know for sure? I've yet to see a single legendary on Very Hard, although I've only had it on for one evening of gaming. :( I was on Normal for a while. Could just be bad RNG, though.

I had 4 of them on normal before I made it into diamond city and I pretty much bee-lined there. Its RNG yo.

Try dropping it in the floor when you're in a settlement and then go to build mode, highlight it and hit R. If you can even scrap then it will be awfully tedious.

Man, its really annoying that I have to carry ~3 different types of guns to avoid complete ammo starvation. One of the few things I miss from New Vegas is the ability to make your own ammo, and it would've worked perfectly in this game since you're already crafting everything else. I kinda want to respec since my perks are all over the place, but I suspect beelining into one Core Type of weapon is going to be difficult if I have to rely on other types just to do damage.

Yeah its dumb, but I always carry 3 different types of guns in fallout games. Having to scavenge for ammo is pretty key to the whole survival wasteland thing.

That said, its only a matter of days until somebody makes an ammo crafting mod.

damage resistance can go to values of up to 5000 and the best non-power armor in the game is 200 so the scaling is obviously different

for reference, 100 radiation resistance reduces radiation taken from swimming by 50%

Bethesda needs to actually release the mod tools first before you start getting mods like that.

Dont' put it in a workbench, who knows if you end up breaking it down at some point. Just stash it in a normal box, nobody will gently caress with it.

You can even craft a fancy footlocker or something.

So what are the four factions? I've met the Minutemen, Brotherhood of Steel ( Minuteman guy wasn't too stoked I joined them, but whatever, they seem like they'll mesh fine. ), Institute ( I HAVE ZERO IDEA HOW THEY ARE COMPATIBLE WITH ANY OTHER FACTION. ), and ????

What is the fourth faction.

Also can I be pro sapient synths like Nick Valentine and still have the Brotherhood on my side? Do they ever ask me to kill sapient synths? I don't mind killing hordes of basically Terminator killbots, but if something has developed free will/sapience, that's not exactly something I'm down for.

e: Which of these factions is the one that drops Power Armor/men with guns down for me from a vertibird like the trailers. I want call in Power Armor so I might as well suck up to them right now.

I found one-and-a-half sets of T-51 at the National Guard depot. There's a legendary Assaultron so watch the gently caress out. I've found one piece of T-51b after leaving that mini-nuke base you raid for the BoS on the road back to the mainland.
