MisterBibs posted:I never said it was? It's just a really lovely thing to have to specifically craft when it should be the default mode, or a toggle. If you have trouble pinpointing where the middle of your screen is, that's not really the game's fault. When you aim down the sight of a gun in this game, it puts the center of the sight in the middle of the screen. So just, like, look at the middle of the screen.  The only gun I've had trouble with the sights of is the long-barrel hunting rifle and that's because the front sight is so far away when you're aiming that it's teeny tiny. But that's one gun, out of dozens. edit: Or use vats. And yeah FO3/NV did have 'true iron sights' as a toggle in the options but that's because that game's aiming/bullet spread system worked way differently and they had the ability to make that toggle. Bullets were basically RNG in projectile form and would actively curve away or toward enemies based on your Guns skill. Zoomed-in aiming didn't actually do anything except reduce your weapon's spread. For a lot of gameplay reasons, that system isn't possible anymore in FO4 (no Guns skill and actual cone-based bullet spread most importantly), so they took the option out because it wouldn't actually function.

How can you be so loving dumb as to not understand an iron sight? There are children in Africa smarter than this.

I was walking across the bridge from Sanctuary and heard the UFO event. So I spent an hour scouring the area, looking for the crash site. I even used the fly cam. Found a lot of other little loot spots, but no UFO. So I googled it, and apparently is always crashes in the same spot. I went to the spot the guide mentions and sure enough it was there. Near the Beantown Brewery, which is a good distance away from Sanctuary. Well at least now I have my Alien Blaster. This was after about 40 hours of game play, and I haven't been to Vault 75 like the top google result mentions.

Telling that the best scopes in the game basically remove iron sights and replace it with a proper Basic Dot. Iron sights have always worked the same in just about every game as they do in real life.

There are at least couple big opportunities in the Minuteman and Brotherhood questlines that he will definitely get huge boosts in affection afterwards, maybe even hit max, if you've been having him tag along while going around murderhoboing for a good while. He's not as much an "evil" companion as his dialogue lets on... save y'know, wanting to kill all humans. He just really likes murder and fighting. And sharing. I wanna hug him and squeeze him!

Lady Naga posted:I really have no idea why they got rid of the ability to shoot projectiles/guns in VATS. Was there anyone who's gameplay experience was ruined by VATS being too easy? They didn't. I've shot a molotov out of the air in VATS once already. Granted, I was trying to do something else when I opened VATS, but when it targeted the molotov curving in towards my head, I changed my mind and shot it instead.  jfood posted:I dislike how all scavengers consider Dogmeat to have his weapon drawn at all times, which means I can't trade because they auto-agro. oh oh god this is why my pipboy says I murdered three people I even know exactly which three i'm so sorry

Is it recommended to tear down the buildings there and start from scratch, or "build around" the non-collapsed buildings? It's hard to use the standing buildings to actually build anything. Scrap the collapsed houses and just toss some beds in the empty houses. You don't really have to build anything except some water pumps. Find a few food items like corn and tatos and put them in the dirt. The minecraft menu will let you assign someone to work the platns by highlighting the person, selecting COMMAND, and then clicking on a free plant. They will automatically work up to 6 plants. I think you can highlight someone, select command, then scroll through to recources>food>[food], and then plant the food to have them work the plants as well. Hovering on a person in minecraft mode will highlight whatever resources / job and bed they are assigned to, but since things can be kind of spread out in Sanctuary it doesn't always help. I did throw some prefab shacks down to kind of centralize everything, but I'm not doing any building from scratch yet in the hopes that I get some nicer-looking walls and roof options.

Bought it on release day but due to exams I've only just been able to start playing now and ... experienced a game breaking bug already. Everything has run smoothly in the intro, the vault and walking around outside the vault. I've got to Concord and am trying to go inside the Freedom Museum and each time I try to go in the game loads for a moment and then crashes to desktop. Trying to look for similar issues online yet, only seen a couple of people mention it but no follow up. Anyone else experienced the same? FYI, running GeForce GTX560, drivers up to date. i7-3770CPU @ 3.4ghz.

The only iron sights or scope I don't like is one I've just found attached to an auto pipe rifle, which is two screws inside an otherwise empty scope. I'm meant to be aiming somewhere in the middle of the two screws or something. They don't make a centrepoint at all, they're not even or anything, I don't know what that was all about.

I really recommend not having enough of a defense rating on your walled-off base, I get attacked all the time and as long as I make sure to snipe the suicide super mutant I can collect a bunch of free poo poo just dropped off on my doorstep. There's generally a legendary in each wave too. I don't have a door or a gate though, I just made a little alley of junk fences and stuck some turrets at the end of them and made a rampart with some turrets so anything trying to run in gets blended

Is there a console command or anything I can do to remove my radiation? Because I'll be honest I think this is kind of bullshit. A ghoul hits me for a good chunk of damage, then does like three times that in radiation I can't heal back.

I've decided that this game's armour system is really bad, unless it's power armour which is really good. Nothing like hacking an entire airport full of brotherhood knights to pieces with an axe while jetpacking around and landing on people from 50 feet up.

I just found out that you can pick up the Vault Tec lunchboxes after you open them. I left a few behind already before I figured it out. Has anyone found a use for pre-war food like Cram and stuff? I remember it being used in crafting recipes in New Vegas so I've been taking it all.

I did this about half way through an archer build Skyrim game (and from the start with this game), and the extra element of challenge it adds is actually quite fun. Works quite well with this game's building system too - I've already been practicing with random bits of junk I've put on tables, but I think I can probably set up a decent target range or two with some of the other objects on offer.

The castle bossfight really showcases how poorly the inventory system fits with the way the game plays now. You're running your rear end off, dodging poo poo, firing missi- wait my health's below 40% let me go into pipboi and sloowly pick out the specific healing item I want out of a giant list. Like holy poo poo it's an actual exciting (if overly aggravating) boss battle in a Bethesda game but being forced to pause it every twelve seconds to do inventory management is infuriating and I ended up just randomly clicking items and getting addicted to every drug in the world.
