Filthy Hans posted:I just took over an outpost, but I damaged the well with grenade shrapnel. The game tells me to repair it so it will work, and of course since it's Fallout 4 there's no explanation how to accomplish this. I highlighted the pump and didn't see a repair function. I then tried "store item in workbench" and now I can't find it in the bench menu and still don't know how to repair stuff. Help me, goonsires. I just hit A to repair it while in build mode, but maybe you're missing some parts since this is a new settlement and you don't have the resource supply chain set up from your primary settlement yet?

Cake Smashing Boob posted:How do I get rid of this stupid loving molerat disease? Pretty sure you have to use the cure on yourself instead of giving it to the kid. Or don't get hit once by the molerats. I'm a couple hours past doing the Vault 81 stuff and didn't even notice the disease until your post, so it's too late for me to go back. I might just spawn another cure with the console because permanently gimping my character is dumb as gently caress.

If you get to vault 81 don't save the loving kid, you'll be stuck with an incurable disease that will clutter your status screen the gently caress up Either I'm missing something or the folks at Bethesda are some right loving cunts Dezztroy posted:Pretty sure you have to use the cure on yourself instead of giving it to the kid.

Maybe, this outpost doesn't have much of anything, just a power-armored raider who I grenaded. He had a fat man but launched it into the wall of the cliff I was on, otherwise it would have been a very bad day.

rizuhbull posted:Anyone else getting microstuttering? I literally get this in every single Bethesda game (and NV). Those have mods that fix it, unfortunately this does not, probably since it's new. Running the game borderless windowed removes vsnyc and solves the problem but the screen tearing makes the game unplayable. Thanks to this post, I tried window/borderless mode. It makes F4 run like a loving dream, no stuttering inside or out, 60 fps all the way through. Probably the first game i've seen where this creates a frame improvement over regular fullscreen. I'm running on Ultra for reference.

Hot Jam posted:Does anyone know if I accept leadership of the minutemen or join the BoS am I committed to anything? Does it even matter if I join all the factions? There are 4 factions. Spoilers for how factions work below, but not really main story spoilers. Minutemen, Brotherhood of Steel, Institute, and Railroad. The Minutemen do not care what you do other faction wise. There is as far as I know, zero conflict with them and the other factions. If you have the main guy as your companion when you JOIN other factions he'll be mad about it and you'll lose rep, but you will otherwise be fine. While you can join the Brotherhood, Institute, and Railroad at the same time, they all don't like each other. The Brotherhood and Railroad do not conflict. The Brotherhood and Railroad both conflict with the Institute however, which means at some point you will be asked whose side you are on, the Brotherhood/Railroad side, or the Institute side. This is handled by the questgiver saying upfront "If you do this thing which is a straight up attack on the Brotherhood/Institute, they will become hostile to you. Just fyi. Is that cool? You are down with us, right homie?" Up until that point you can do as many quests as you want for all the factions. According to what I can scrounge up online, each faction gives something, though I have no idea what half the benefits are. Minutemen calls in AI support with laser weapons from the nearby towns. Brotherhood supposedly comes up with a vertibird/machine gun/power armor drop for you that plays sky captain air support ( I have done zero quests for them, so the Brotherhood for me is still 3 guys in a police station. ). Institute probably does something synth related. Railroad is ??????

The beam splitter muzzle attachment for laser rifles sounded kinda lame on paper, but it literally turns your laser rifle into a laser shotgun but it still only uses 1 energy cell per shot, just like the rifle did. Seems pretty freaking awesome, definitely worth making at least one laser shotgun.  Energy weapons sound so satisfying in this game.

So... I have a tendency to restart games. I get a handle for the controls and mechanics after playing for a few hours, and then I restart the game with a better grasp of things. The problem is my PS4 copy won't let me do so. Every time one of my new characters tries to leave the pod, his body gets stuck and he can't move. It's a game ruining bug in the first fifteen minutes.

ImpAtom posted:Having a forced backstory is fine, all the Fallout games did it. Having the forced backstory rely on your caring about a baby for no reason than 'baby exists' is a giant mistake. The back story of Fallout 1, 2, and New Vegas are incredibly general and based on circumstance. In the tradition of pen & paper rpgs you are a clean slate of a person thrown into a situation by an inciting incident and free to make up your mind about the specifics of your past and personality. In Fallout 1 you are from a vault. You might have friends and family, you might not. You might be very young or very old. There are no details about what your life was like before being sent to find a water chip. You can pretend you were a maintenance man or a nurse or anything in between if that sort of roleplaying floats your boat. You might enjoy being a vault dweller, or you might wish to be free. Maybe you volunteered to go find a water chip, maybe you were forced to, maybe you're too unintelligent to even understand the mission. You can immediately decide you don't care about the vault or the super mutants and just piss about. You won't get an ending that way, but the game never contradicts this possibility. You can even sell out your vault and join the mutants. In Fallout 2 you are a tribal. You are the descendant of the main character from Fallout 1, and you are called "The Chosen One" and sent to find a geck. Again, the details of your personal life and feelings are completely up to you, and you can ignore your quest. Just because other people tell you that you are the chosen one doesn't mean your character necessarily believes it. In New Vegas they went to even greater lengths to maintain vagueness. You're just some courier who took a job. You could be anybody or from anywhere-- your pick. At many points in the game NPCs will ask you why you are looking for Benny and the game pointedly offers a list of motivations and allows you to choose between things like revenge, information, getting the chip back to finish your delivery... or you can just not care about Benny or the chip. There is one DLC that adds something specific to your character's backstory: that you had a previous job to deliver something. Even that doesn't sit right with me, but it's one minor mark against it in a DLC. Fallout 3 is a little more specific but still somewhat acceptable. Like Fallout 1 you are a vault dweller, but this time you are very specifically eighteen years old. The circumstances of your birth and family life are set in stone: You definitely have a father and you definitely don't have a mother. That being said, it is up to you whether or not you hate your Dad, even if it isn't reflected by the game perfectly. For example, on your 10th birthday you can shoot him in the head with a BB gun until he passes out and he doesn't seem to care. He will scold you for detonating a nuclear bomb in the middle of a town, but he still trusts you with saving the wasteland with a water purification scheme that doesn't make any sense. The game is clearly built around the idea that you love the Dad character, but it does acquiesce to you in small doses if you really push the idea that you do not. And you can just refuse to care about him and never bother to save him from Vault 112, like in the previous games, although it's sometimes difficult within dialogue choices to avoid the fact that the game intends you play along with its story (instead of the other way around). Fallout 4 tosses all of the above out the window within the first 20 minutes. The game literally opens with the male character personally filling you in on what he's all about. Specific information inside the game states the following: You are either a married man or woman within the right age to have a relatively newborn baby. You are definitely not homosexual. You are definitely upper-middle class and come from a nice suburb. If you are the husband you've served in the military. If you are a woman you have a degree in law. You have a baby. The baby is definitely named Shaun. You definitely love this baby. You definitely love your spouse. You definitely mourn your spouse once he or she is dead. You very specifically state "I'm going to find my son". You definitely care about finding your son. Whether you hate newspapers or support news, however.... that much is up to you~

I think we're coming at this scrap on the ground vs put in your storage thing the wrong way. If I put something in storage with multiple components, it increased the count for all of those components . If I Use one of those multiple components, the counts for the others don't go down as if they are missing from the total.

Seriously lacking a proper tutorial and PC UI here. Perhaps you or someone else can explain why my supply lines aren't working like they're supposed to. I'm real early in the game, I just have Sanctuary, the garage and Tenpines. I have 3 people in Sanctuary, two at the garage, two at Tenpines. I sent someone from the garage to Sanctuary (hilighted them, hit the supply lines button). I'll see them running around with a Brahmin near it, but none of the inventories end up being shared at all. Maybe I don't understand the point of them, but I assumed that it means the stuff you put in your workshop inventory (junk, food, weapons, etc.), say if I put it all in Sanctuary, it should now show up when I go to my workshop at the garage. It's irritating that this isn't explained properly.

Vaut 81 question. My "follow this annoying kid around" quest bugged out, he rounded the corner to the Overseer's office stairs and he was like WHERE ARE YOU and then the quest failed, and talking to him doesn't seem to do anything. The vault seems to standard otherwise, got some gossip but can't do anything with it. I'm currently getting fertilizer for the old lady. Is anything else supposed to happen?
