Harrow posted:Critical hits now only come from that Crit meter in VATS. Sneak attacks and the headshot damage bonus still exist, but they're not considered "critical hits" for the purpose of perks and equipment. So keep that in mind when you see perks like Better Criticals or weapons that do special things on critical hits--they don't work for sneak attacks or headshots. Welp, guess I'm going to player.setav my points a bit then. I don't even use VATS and started out with 6 luck in hopes of getting the better critical perk and scoring a lot of normal critical hits, just like in the previous games. Hopefully a mod fixes Luck for non-VATS users in the future. Or the whole perk tree for that matter.

Deutsch Nozzle posted:the parallax issue when shooting in third person is kind of lame. sneak up on a raider and put the dot on his head at point blank and miss Yeah. Don't ever try to shoot in third person. And it's best to avoid anything other than VATS when doing melee.

Bugs in Bethesda game did you use player.placeatme xxxxxx or player.moveto xxxxxx/prid xxxxxx moveto player because the former will spawn the incorrect piper while the latter will move you to them/move them to you

But yeah, I'm guessing I spawned the wrong Piper.

Black Griffon posted:If there's one thing I them to change completely about the world and the aesthetic of the game, it's the way every structure everywhere is just half-assedly put together despite the fact that it's been over 200 years since the war. You've got cities that's persisted for nearly a hundred years, and untold tonnes for raw materials, and people still live in ramshackle piles of planks and let trash float around everywhere. Yeah it's just like this on the East Coast which is a shithole. People out west are just inherently superior, I guess? The NCR is a coherent nation-state that stretches from Seattle to the Baja and they have railroads and factories and poo poo.

RBA Starblade posted:Cthulu Fhtagn aside, remember, New Vegas described the Pre-war world as days away from post-scarcity with its dlc, along with having hard light holograms, corpse animating life support systems, sentient (needy) armor systems, replicators, death from above orbital laser systems, and more. Anything goes anymore techwise. i would totally be okay with this, but it's directly stated that lorenzo cabot discovered the helmet and its powers in the late 1800's and it made his blood an immortality elixir shortly afterwards

UP AND ADAM posted:You can't, really, if you want to do the main story. I don't think it's controversial to have the opinion that having such a restrictive protagonist background and accompanying limited range of expression through dialogue allows for much less creativity in roleplaying. It's like Witcher, except your main character is forced to be a suburban mom/dad. I dunno, other than "avenge my wife", which is perfectly reasonable if she's been your beard, and a close friend who keeps your secret, I didn't think anything really shoved "straight white male protagonist" in your face. Even "some military service" isn't really very descriptive, and I don't think I've seen anything go more in depth than that. There was probably a draft going during the war, so it probably applied to almost every 18-year-old male. Honestly, I thought New Vegas' Courier backstory was the hardest to get into -- it implied that I'd been born and lived my entire life in the wasteland and wasn't intellectual enough to find a better profession than "courier", or maybe I was a drifter-type? Why would I become a courier? I certainly don't want to, myself, it sounds like a hilariously dangerous job in the Fallout universe. It also implied that I should be relatively familiar with the Mojave wasteland and was comfortable getting from place to place, which was certainly not true as a level 1 courier with no landmarks on the map and possible death around every rock.

Why am I wandering around? Couldn't hack it as a farmer? Raider gang fell apart? Do I like the lonely road? It implies a significant backstory, one with some variability, sure, but it still makes me try to explain it away somehow, and it still means that my terrified level 1 courier has been at this for some time. "You have been raised in Vault X and need to leave the vault for the first time for this big important thing" feels like much more of a blank slate, comparatively speaking, because it doesn't imply a past beyond "grew up, experienced the wasteland for the first time".

Whatever I guess. quote:i would totally be okay with this, but it's directly stated that lorenzo cabot discovered the helmet and its powers in the late 1800's and it made his blood an immortality elixir shortly afterwards I excluded Cthulu for a reason (it's just a little bit of fun), though psychics and stuff have been in the series since Fallout 1.
