I've only run into two so far, the first was at wicked trucking, I loaded the construction persona and it walked outside, and ignored me completely. Second one was in the Super Duper Mart and I wanted that one to deal with the Ghouls so I uploaded Law Enforcement and continued sneaking around while he [DETECTED] me sometimes but he never attacked me. I powered it down before I left though, and never walked very close to it, so I don't know if that mattered. ...also I had my guns out and fought a number of ghouls in the Mart.

Phenotype posted: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. Being a courier in the Mojave is probably a pretty demanding, difficult, and high paying job. Also, like the other guy said, the bullet in your head gives you temporary amnesia and also reduces your abilities except for stuff that you've really, really internalized (your tags).

Kind of has a 60's/70's sci-fi feel to it, which is a refreshing change from the usual retro-50's stuff. Roobanguy posted:i straight up killed father when he first appeared. Same.

It doesn't give you amnesia, but I do like to imagine being shot in the head and being in a coma leaves you pretty weak and the rest of the game is you recovering to your former badass self

Not only that, but there's recently been a robbery of a serum shipment, so you could even (potentially) be an assassin trying to get at the Cabots. So what does he do? He seeks you out, and invites you in past their security system!

This is my first playthrough, I spent about 15 minutes wandering around Salem looking for what to do with a key I picked up off a dead guy surrounded my Mirelurks. Turns out he's supposed to be alive when you get there? And he gives you a quest? Well, he wasn't alive, so I guess I'll never know. Also he has a really obvious trapdoor in his house, but there's no prompt for it.

That quest is super fun though because its basically a zombie attack but with mutated crab (and sometimes lobster) monsters. Smashing through them all with my super sledge felt badass. Then I walked onto the beach and got murdered by a mirelurk king.

Did some research to see what kind of armor you can add Tinker Tom's ballistic weave lining on. The answer: if it looks cool, you can't. Seriously. I console commanded like every decent-looking outfit onto my character and anything that is a cool duster, or something that looks like an outfit someone would wear exploring the wasteland, or anything that isn't like a shirt and some jeans, you can't modify. Well, you can add it to MacCready's ratty jacket and Piper's jacket, but those are pretty much the only outliers. (Also Maxson's, but you ain't getting that without console commands on an average playthrough, so I'm not really counting it.) It's kind of infuriating. Bethesda added a system in the game that was like, "People want to wear clothing but not die in two shots. We should let them add DR to it!" And then it's like someone else went, "Well, let's not go too crazy. We can't have them wearing the outfits they want to wear." I'm pretty sure we won't see a mod to open up outfit modifications for a couple months at least, too. Few players even seem to be aware ballistic weave exists, and even then, I'm not sure you'd be able to change the armor crafting system without the creation kit.

Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw's "Judging by the Cover" analysis of the Fallout 4 (and 3) covers: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/judging-by-the-cover/106816-Fallout-4-Box-Art-Review ...I found it funny. v  v[e]: In regards to Fallout 4, for some reason my melee-weapon focused character with a modded sniper rifle absolutely slaughtered Corvega Factory on his run through the place whereas my stealthy sniper-focused character was getting creamed easily. Granted, there were a few key differences, such as paying attention to armor this time around and knowing how to pick perks/weaponry/etc on a second play-through plus the melee-character being level 15 (thanks Idiot Savant!) versus my stealth sniper being level 9. Oddly enough, casually using a bolt action hunting rifle manually can well over-compensate compared to a character actually built towards rifles/sniping in their stats. I guess what I'm saying is is that Perception is fairly useless compared to Agility. Also, having perks like Rooted/Toughness/Moving Target help a shitload towards not dying, especially on Survival difficulty as was the case for both characters. Plus, using stealth (without Ninja perks) + Blitz + high strength + modded melee weapon will absolutely murder the poo poo out of most scrub enemies and even Super Mutants in short order. This is actually really effective for "sleeping" ghouls who count for the sneak attack multiplier from lying on the ground to just before fully standing. Not having to rely on ammo means you can conserve ammo for, say, a sniper-modded sniping rifle to pick off stragglers on the fringes, get up close to stealth-melee the others, and use a back-up heavy weapon/combat shotgun in case things go south and enemies are rushing you. Finally, use chokepoints like doorways or crawl spaces (note: use a cluster of mines to take off an initial chunk of health) to plink away at monsters like Legendaries/Behemoths/Deathclaws until they die (which sometimes feel kind of cheap, but I'm playing on Survival so I consider it fair game). This is a very effective strategy for pretty much anything I've found so far. Teriyaki Koinku fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Nov 17, 2015 |

I just said that there was an incontrovertible backstory of suburban living and parenthood with a partner, which actually wouldn't be a problem if they let you redefine your character in their wasteland life, but you are pretty heavily tied back to the original concept at nearly every turn. If there wasn't the voiced 4 option (in effect more like no option or 2 option) dialogue system then it could work fine.

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. Yeah, it raises questions! You answer the questions with your roleplaying and gameplay choices.

My guess is that they were nearing the release deadline, realized that they had a bunch of clothing sets that didn't have proper clipping models for over armor, and said "gently caress it, we'll fix it later in a DLC or a patch", and made them incompatible.

I'm talking about ballistic weave, though, not the layered armor. It's an (invisible) upgrade you can unlock that just adds DR to an outfit. It works on most under armor stuff and a handful of the most boring outfits, but none of the cool ones.
