Andrast posted:You level and put points into things in pretty much every game these days. True but this still feels very much in the vein of Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Gotta agree with the consensus though that the combat is way better but the dialogue is worse. It's great your character is voiced though. They do say some great poo poo. If you need proof of this go find the town of Goodneighbor and do The Silver Shroud quest series.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:It basically guarantees a legendary per "unit" of monsters yes. Legendaries are rolled per spawn wave, not per monster (though someday I'd like to change that) I'm not seeing anything close to that spawn rate. I've seen some legendaries though. It looks like I did the bat thing right, as I'm getting no error messages in the console.

I meant to mention my simultaneous lovely and awesome luck last night. I ran into 3 Legendaries in the same area! All went down relatively painlessly. One gave me a - damage from Animals armor piece, one gave me a +poison resistance armor piece, and the last - a Mirelurk - gave me a pool cue with + damage to humans. Seriously game? What the gently caress am I going to do with those? They don't even sell for that much.

Reason posted:I like how they started using vertical space quite a lot more, now they just need to embrace it fully. There are too many empty rooftps and empty patches of freeway. Those places seem like they would be prime settling areas.

Broken Cog posted:It's kind of sad how utterly harmless Deathclaws seem after you realize you can 100% neutralize them by crippling their legs. Well, that's basically true of every melee-based enemy. It's especially useful for legendary varieties. Shoot their legs out right at the beginning of the fight, so they're much less of a threat by the time they mutate. Feral ghouls are especially vulnerable to that.

A super mutant just turned on air raid siren to call his buddies to me. I shot a land mine he was near and hosed his leg up then sprayed him down with lead. I also blew up a suicide bomber by shooting the bomb.

coyo7e posted:I get tons of attacks at Sunshine Tidings Co-Op when I'm there and I've only got one or two settlers and two turrets.. Also some water pumps, tomatoes, and stairs to get on top of the robot shed to place turrets. When I'm there it seems like it gets attacked from either side about every 90 seconds. If your defenses are less than your water production plus your food production you get attacked much more frequently.

AceSnyp3r posted:Well, they did strip out skills entirely. I was never a huge fan of its shoehorned implementation into the real-time first-person Fallouts and the new system is less annoying, but it does seem a lot simpler a.k.a. "dumbed down" if you're in a bad mood. In some ways, but in other ways I think the new system has just as much depth, with multiple ranks of each perk and more ability to come up with a specific build and stuff. Tin Tim posted:Yeah that's what irked me the most after I saw it first The dialogue is the biggest issue, both mechanically and in writing. They made the huge Mass Effect problem where you only have dialogue choices with like one or two words, so you'll see like "I'm not sure" and you click that, and it ends up being like "yeah I could probably help you out but I'm busy, I'll come back later" and you're like "That isn't remotely what I meant to say". I mean most of the time one of the options is just "Sarcasm" and you have no idea exactly how it'll play out. I loving hate that poo poo. It was a huge problem in MassEffect and the later DragonAge games but Bioware never seems to have realized it. And now Bethesda seems to think it was an improvement. What I want most right now is a mod that makes the player character completely silent and shows me 4 actual sentences of dialogue options instead of 4 words which give a vague feeling but not really of what you're going to say.

The difference is honestly pretty minor and if not for the dialogue system sucking ti would be kind of straight better.

Hunting rifle seems useless. Sneak attacks don't seem to work. I'm hidden with my silenced machine pistol, let a burst off on some Gunners, and it pops up "Sneak Attack 2.0X Damage". Hidden with my rifle, fire, and nothing. Pitiful damage.

In FNV unless you were a build with 2 INT and restricting yourself to 20 levels (Logan's Loophole? been a while) you had 100 in every stat by 30 hours in.

Tin Tim posted:Wait what? Do you only build your pretend person through perks now? Basically, yeah. Instead of e.g. putting points into lockpicking until it's high enough for a given lock, you now just have a perk for lockpicking where each of the levels allows you to crack a higher tier of locks. Personally I like it, because while you can still specialise into a given weapon family you're no longer completely gimped when switching e.g. from guns to energy weapons because your skill in those is just some four points. Also, this ghoul knows how to make his entrance with style: http://fat.gfycat.com/EdibleCompleteAbyssiniancat.webm

In any case, once you have the perk, open up the workshop interface in your settlement and find a settler, look at them and you'll get the option to have them create a supply line. I have Strong do it because he's always sitting around my settlement bitching and he gets upset whenever I step into my Power Armor. Sikreci fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Nov 13, 2015 |

It also helps that you now specialize in automatic weapons, single shot rifles, single shot pistols and heavy weapons. That's probably my favorite change out of the whole perk system.

Is there a generator in The Castle somewhere? I see all this electrical equipment but it isn't wired to any power source. I went back to Sanctuary, gathered the parts and went back and made one to power the radio tower but it seems like there should be one, what with all the lights on in the basement and all. I also just switched to using Preston "Envy My Hat?" as my companion and I was clearing out a ghoul town, running low on ammo so I had just a town full of ghouls missing legs flailing in the streets. Oh good here's a room filled with boxes of ammo on the counter! Preston runs in, ninjas all the ammo and runs back outside and uses it all, completely failing to kill a single ghoul in the process. Welcome back, companion Doge. Also why is my Dogmeat named only "Dog"?

The most annoying thing I've encountered so far is the inability to leave menus in a hurry due to animations. I was in a crafting menu when 3 Super Mutants decided to wander by my gas station. I heard gunfire and started making my way slowly out of the menu, but by the time it actually closed and went back to first person, a suicide bomber had taken out a couple machine guns by charging through them. Minor to be sure, but still annoying. If I heard people shooting at my house IRL I'd probably drop everything on the floor and hit the deck immediately, not slowly move away while placing everything gingerly on the table.

CapnBry posted:Also why is my Dogmeat named only "Dog"? His name changes to Dogmeat if you ask Mama Murphy about him when you meet the Minutemen. If you don't (if, for example, she overdoses and is dead as gently caress) he's "Dog" forever as far as I know. I'm fine with this. You should've been able to name him.

Unrelated to this: you said a while ago you built your dude for Charisma, right? Did you get much mileage out of Inspirational and the point-gun-at-enemy-to-pacify-them perks? I'm considering taking some points I'm not using out of Luck and Agility and putting them into Charisma, and I'm not sure if I want to go past 6 (Local Leader) or go to 8 (Inspirational) or 10.

Decided not to build a house for myself; Red Rocket is pretty cool as is, just plop a bed and Pip-boy stand in there. The Duplo building options are frustratingly almost flexible enough, but the autosnapping and arbitrary requirements for placement (and the inability to remove piles of loving garbage from everywhere) make it annoying. I do build depressing dormitories for my settlements, but at least I dress each one up in their own costumes (Sanctuary Stepford people in clean suits and dresses with sack masks, etc.).

Is there a fix for the subtitle bug? It's pretty useless to have them enabled when it only displays the first line uttered. How the game shipped like that I have no idea, but then again it's Bethesda. Having lots of fun otherwise.
