Judge Tesla posted:Really? When Fallout 3 had the Brotherhood of Steel as literal Knights in Shining Armour here to save the day from the nasty Enclave and the mean Super Mutants, not to mention Liberty Prime debuted in that game. i guess i mostly wish that diamond city and goodneighbor had more to do in them- especially diamond city. i keep waiting for a quest that lets me curbstomp all the rich snobby dudes and i've yet to encounter one Coolwhoami posted:Why is it such a stretch that not so single female lawyer can use power armour when literally every loving character in the game can? check and mate amigo!!

Yeah, that was the other point I was going to make: there's this really weird MMO-esque vein that runs through the questing in Fallout 4. After wasting enough of my life on MMOs up to World of Warcraft, I've developed an intense allergic reaction to anything MMO-related. Can't stand the poo poo anymore. [e]: Even in Fallout 3, Megaton was at least a tiny bit foreboding because you had a giant gently caress-off nuke in the middle of town that could theoretically go off. I know when I first played Fallout 3 in 2008 I was pretty wary of stepping too close to the nuke and the crazy fuckers worshiping it as a pseudo-diety. There's also the class conflict situation with Tenpenny Tower between the ghouls and affluent human residents. Is it weird to anyone else that the rest of Boston/Cambridge is seemingly still intact after the Great Nuclear War yet only a small portion of it is populated in a baseball field. I get that there's invading Super Mutants or whatever, but it's implausible that a.) the nuke that went off right outside of Sanctuary 200 years prior to the present didn't totally vaporize Boston and b.) Even if it didn't stand, that the inhabitants wouldn't spread back out in 200 years' time. It seems less implausible than the shantytown of Megaton comparatively speaking IMO.

I had to use Wall - End to cover up the holes for the walls covering the shack stairs up to the top of the gas station. Walls only seem to snap when they feel like it and god knows about the corner pieces. It's still fun playing SimFallout but this is probably going to be all I do for it outside prefabs.

CURIE Follower Story Spoilers Ahead  Has anyone else encountered an annoying bug with Curie after you get her a humanoid body; wherein she constantly picks up ammo and weapons off dead enemies, uses them over her default weapons then switches to fists when in melee? Here is my hopeful solution:  Along with 20,000 cells hopefully she never has need to swap it away, ever.

I think my brotherhood quest is bugged, because it tells me to speak to danse and last I tried it didn't advance anything (I don't even get a cutscene), he just steers me back to initiation. Do I have to just do more Quartermastery and whatnot?

re: building chat I hate using the premade sections because I don't understand why every piece needs 2 support columns. It makes the place full of beams that you have to place items around and it sucks. It would be nice if the prefab stuff played a little nicer with the regular wall sections. As long as you put down a floor to snap the walls to then the wall sections work well enough, but there really needs to be a way to place your own individual studs or supports or whatever.

Commissar Budgie posted:I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but I turned Sanctuary into a massive water farm with 500+ units, but I've stopped getting purified water. Does anyone know how to fix this? Sanctuary is all kinds of buggy. Do not build resources like that there. Not for profit at least. I've noticed that it reports as being 0, 0, and 0 on several resources when i'm out of the cell it's located in. Also the Castle is buggy too. The radio transmitter will glitch out and not be active when it is active due to the minuteman NPC refusing to man it. Which may mean that artillery won't work for you if you don't do events in a certain way (And even then I haven't checked if you can still use it.). Which means you can't finish the main quest if you're being pro-Minutemen. Just a friendly heads up. Not going to spoil that because holy poo poo that's a huge bug. Avoiding it by loading an earlier save is the only way i've found around it so far. Which would suck if you discovered that 20+ hours in and had to lose all your progress.

So I worked out the Hardware Town ambush before they got me and decided to throw open the door and toss in a Molotov rather than face a gunfight, because my shooting skills still aren't great. Two burned to death instantly, but the main dude comes charging through the flames at me. Just as he passes the other doorway, Piper steps out, knocks him on his rear end with the butt of her rifle, then shoots him point blank in the head. Wasteland journos are cold.

Next time, I hope Bethesda just ditches any overarching plot, and makes a "founding Shady Sands" simulator. You and ten a dozen survivors awaken from a vault, clear the bugs out of the nearest group of ramshackle shelters, and try to make a home in the wasteland. Same gameplay, just with maybe a strategic territorial element instead of sham "roleplaying."

Okay so I decided to take Codsworth with my new crafting/sneak/guns character and I'm really starting to like him. He calls me mum or Miss Spider and doesn't complain nearly as much as I expected when I pick up every stray piece of junk that I see. But what really cemented my affection for him was resolving the Covenant quest line. As soon as I walked into the Compound I knew I had to murder all those assholes, and he was totally gung ho so we shot, burned, and sliced them all to bloody pieces. What more could you want from a sassy robobutler? I really hope all the companions are this fun, I may have to wait until another character to take Lone Wanderer. I can't believe I'm thinking about making alts in a Bethesda game... what has the world come to?

Re: making buildings Here's the bar I made for my ungrateful bastard settlers. I started by laying flooring on an existing foundation from one of the cleared houses in Sanctuary. The entryway was made by snapping a foundation flooring piece on:  The alcove for the jukebox was made the same way:  The walls all snapped to the floors, and the roof tiles snapped nicely to the walls and each other:  These worthless fucks do not give a single poo poo and barely even come inside.    Really want some walls that weren't made from rusting corrugated tin and old fencing. Someone earlier said they were creating nice walls without holes but I did not see a bit of plaster or a wall that didn't let light stream through it anywhere  E: Tenzarin posted:Holy poo poo I can think ideas by meself! I mean I get all that and I can obviously make a square building. Using the prefabs, then removing them, then building regular walls to replace them isn't any easier than just laying down floor tiles and using that to snap the walls. I just want to be able to build a single post that works like the foundation tiles do. titties fucked around with this message at 09:08 on Nov 17, 2015 |

Red Rocket is the superior personal settlement. Pickpocket is the superior utility skill. I stole all the Brotherhood's power armors by taking their fusion cores, except for one Knight on the Prydwen who has an actual infinite amount of power cores. I call him Red Rocket, because he's basically my gas station. When I encounter Brotherhood NPCs on far-away locations I've never visited, they are now already not wearing power armor. That's kind of a neat touch.

So I got an Explosive Combat Shotgun from a legendary dog. Later I killed a Legendary Deathclaw and got a lovely piece of metal armour v vAnyone know if there's a guaranteed suit of T-51 anywhere? I'm level 29 and just found a full X-01 at the South Boston Checkpoint so I think I've levelled way above it and missed it. There were about 3 suits of T-60 at the National Guard place earlier in the game but I've never seen a T-51...

Tenzarin posted:Fallout 1: guy finding a water chip Those aren't complete backstories. Reason posted:But like, all you know is that your person lives with a spouse and has a kid. You can still make up in your head or whatever any of the other poo poo. Roleplaying games are meant to give you options within the game to act on the stuff you 'make up in your head'. And you know a lot more than just 'has a spouse, kid' as a result of the limited choices available to you in dialogue. You can choose wether you're angry you don't have the kid you love, or wether you're a bit more sad that you don't have the kid you love. Nothing in any of Bethesda, Obsidian or any other developer's Fallout games has been as constricting as Fallout 4 is with regards to your character, even mechanically.

It's really weird that those are the examples you immediately go to, is everything okay at home? Nothing substantial in the game supports roleplaying either, you have a pre-defined character, who you can't examine, explore or expound upon through different choices or skills because what is there is incredibly limited and homogenized. This game isn't comparable in any roleplaying department to Fallout 1, 2 or 3, and is considerably lacking compared to each.

My character has brain damage from faulty cryogenics and thinks he's Donald Trump, the only man who can make America great again. He constantly says inappropriate and badly formulated things, is wildly inconsistent, and mostly wanders around aimlessly upsetting other people while hoarding things for himself. (My Red Rocket base was going to be a taller Trump Tower, but the item limit is too small.)
