I havent had a plrecription for my eyes in years so the other day I went and got a new one and it hasnt changed. The doctor was like why havent you seen us in 4 years? I told them im scared of op tomietris when the air shoots into your eyes and dilation. They told me my eyes cold get worse....
anyone have problems with the new nvidia drivers? I thought it might be an enb or reshade I installed so I deleted all that but fallout crashes instantly as soon as I open the executable the only difference is I used geforce experience to download the newest driver from 11/9. instant crashes. I reverted to 11/4 and instant crashed still! Im reinstalling the game right now but did anyone else have this problem? how the hell can this happen you would think the old drivers would work

edit: ah I think I figured it oiut, I had the game set at 4k and when I reinstalled the drivers it disabled DSR

Is any else getting instantly killed by none-legendary SMG equipped Mr. Gutsy? All the ones I've encountered are able to literally shoot a thousands rounds per second of perfectly accurate .45 rounds that kill me in power armor in half a second.

It's not just "that" Mr. Gutsy, it's all the ballistic tooting Mr. Gutsy, I've just run into the third one capable of that; I think it's a bug.

Also, how do you fix the bug where the radio transmitter at The Castle has power, but the NPC won't man it? He keeps saying it needs power, but it does. And I can't manually assign him to the drat thing.

Thinking the raid pulled him out of his chair and the coders forgot to make it so that he'd go back to running the station afterwards. I have no idea how to force him back into handling the transmitter though.

While avoiding a Deathclaw, I discovered that you can use power armor to become a submarine and walk on the bottom of harbors. :radcat:

But since you can't climb in this game, finding an exit point once on the bottom of a body of water can be a real pain. Also, it really seems like you get sent to the Castle early in the game. Granted, you can tell him you'd rather wait, but I did that for like 6 levels, then finally went and still felt rather undertiered for both the trip down there and the fight that awaits. Good rewards, though, once you do it.

While I'm told it's a hard speech check, I managed to ask Mama Murphy to stop using chems. Of course, I only tried it after her dying from Pycho and reloading.

Feel free to spoil it, what are the consequences either way? Her earlier suggestion with the crime lord worked and one of her later warnings seems like it'll trigger something else down the line, so I'm mostly just wondering if her overdose triggers something later too.

It's got twenty so far. Which is twice as much. Ten wasn't doing it so I wasn't sure if it was secretly hooked up to the built in infrastructure or not. The power sign in the workshop system for the transmitter is green so I assume that means it's powered.

It was working just fine for awhile. Then a raider patrol attacked and got gunned down. Now the unorderable minuteman that mans the station is just standing there and refusing to work on the drat thing. When I give it power he walks up to the chair for a minute, stands there, then walks back to the place where he waits when it isn't working.

Despite being completely pointless and occasionally frustrating, I've been enjoying the base building stuff. Think I've finally settled on this one I made at The Slog. The settlements I created at the gas station and Hangman's Alley were a bit too cramped and had major pathfinding issues, while Sanctuary was a bit too spread out and desolate. This one is just right, and the poolside atmosphere makes it feel downright cheery compared to the rest of the game.

Nick Valentine was a good character.

Overall good game, look forward to mods. A bit buggy, had to bypass one quest manually (the Taking Independence one I mentioned) using console but meh.

Picked the same(best) faction and agree the ending was lame as gently caress. Same cutscene for everyone and no mention of anything else you did or didn't do.

I'd be glad to contribute.

While I'm on the spree of asking annoying questions (haven't asked any in this thread before this, just made commentary),

Is there a shop within the institute? I saw someone 10 pages back or so mentioned getting a plasma rifle within the institute, not sure if he meant he bought it or just looted it.

I think I'll just hold off on the power armor so I can get it at level 30.

There is a shop there. It's on the ground level. There are only 4 locations so just check each one while in the main area with the elevator.

To let Strong murder the gently caress out of it with Grognak's Axe. You can like run around and stuff, if you want, but that's optional.

Their head is very heavily armor. I just pop off their legs which does a ton of damage to them. A headshot would do like 15-20% of its total health while a legshot would do 65%+

What's the best way to set up supply runs for settlements? If I run everything out of Sanctuary should I send people from there to individual settlements, or if I send from one to the next to the next and so on will the last in the chain be linked to Sanctuary?

It doesn't have a power switch. You power it up after a quest. You connect the generators and then activate the transmitter and that's it. It's different from the settler transmitters.

Apparently this is a big bug affecting the game at the moment. Though apparently there aren't too many people that far in yet. There's a fairly large reddit thread here discussing it and another bug. None of their fixes actually work though. https://www.reddit.com/r/fo4/comments/3sdc4v/stuck_on_old_guns_quest/


Edit: To be clear, the power requirements are met. It's the personnel requirements that aren't met. A NPC you can't control typically mans it. He has decided to stand up near the radio transmitter and cease broadcasting the radio channel. Since I can't assign him to it and the transmitter won't let anyone else be assigned to it due to the game requiring it be manned by the essential NPC the station is offline until I figure out how to fix this bug.

I assume it's because they didn't want to spend the extra cash on more disks but still wanted boxed copies on shelves. I also suspect they looked at previous rates of box purchases to disk installs and figured it wasn't worthwhile, which sucks for people in your position who don't have the ability to easily download 25 gigs of game files. I'm surprised they even had content on it at all and didn't just do poo poo like antivirus software does where the disk just has a link to the download page.

Would it be fine if I sent one person from each settlement on a supply run to sanctuary. I'm assuming that would work pretty decent unless I'm wrong.

I don't think there's any problem, as long as a settlement is connected to a settlement that's connect to all the rest you seem to get access to all their inventories instantly.

I bet you could make it look like an indoor garden, put some comfy furniture around, dress everyone nice, use mutfruits fro the food supply and make it look like they're potted plants, it could work, going to need a lot of lighting though.

I am aware of how it works, this is why I was asking. There is a console that says "activate" when hovered over, although admittedly that is not a switch in look it does somewhat act like one. Have you tried doing as some in that thread have and removing (ie storing) or disabling generators and then repowering them? I am very aware of how these things can be unfixable bugs, but it is worth trying all possible user implementable solutions in the meantime.
