So I'm getting an even weirder version of the "Sent back to clear out a place where everyone's already dead" bug. They're all alive again! But...lying in the "Dead on the floor" positions and they can't stand up, so I've got corpses that I can shoot and kill and yell and threaten me but don't actually do anything. Also once re-corpsed they are not lootable.

Hey Cirosan, your mod is on Eurogamer: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-11-18-brilliant-fallout-4-mod-shows-you-what-your-character-will-say-in-dialogueDongattack posted:What does he say? He drops some cryptic things about Shaun being with the Institute and being "older than you remember." Then the conversation turns to, "Well, we both know how this is going to end," and you can choose what kind of badass boast you want to say before fighting him.

Great, I'm not trying to follow base building too much outside of Sanctuary, but if I don't look after another settlement, I just get a message that they were all wiped out by raiders. Abernathy Farms got hosed after I did one quest for them. There's no loving resources around there to scrap to make decent defenses unless I haul six tons of material there from Sanctuary, so they all died.

I spent a fair bit of time putzing around in the later portions of skyrim with godmode enabled (which gives you infinite carryweight) after I got sick of the combat so i feel compelled to do a more purestrain bethesda experience this time around. Haven't used the console once, even to noclip out of getting stuck on world geometry which I'm fairly sure is a first. Also in the spirit of asking questions i've bottled up over like 20 levels in this game; is there a trick to base building that I'm missing? actually building houses from scratch seems to be an absolutely maddeningly complex and janky ordeal, even on the flat building spots in sanctuary. am I missing a method to this? there's just a parade of issues; it's fiddly as hell to place your first piece so it's parallel with the edge of the lot you're building on, you can't really tell if you have enough space to get your floor placed so there's not an awkward gap on one side of the building, sometimes it arbitrarily prevents you from placing stuff etc. Am I just being too autistic about this? Should I just embrace making horrible monstrosities with missing floors and walls? Generic Monk fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Nov 18, 2015 |

You can also send the inhabitants to some other settlement. I've built up two major hubs at sanctuary and The Castle and whenever I encounter some horribly misplaced settlement I just send the nuggets to one of the above. Meant to write buggers, not nuggets, but it's staying 'cause it made me laugh.

^ How do you send inhabitants from one settlement to another? My greenhouse settlement is really overcrowded.T.G. Xarbala posted:See above discussion re: Local Leader. I honestly recommend that if you're playing on PC and you're not going for a Charisma build of some sort, just console command yourself the first point of Local Leader. It's such an integral part of settlement building that I can't imagine why they thought it should cost a perk point and require a certain SPECIAL investment. Luckily I went high Charisma this time around so I don't have to, but I wouldn't feel like I was cheating if I did.

There's probably enough scrap to build a few random watchtowers to buff up the defense score though, right? Most settlements are rife with random bullshit from what I've seen.

There's probably enough scrap to build a few random watchtowers to buff up the defense score though, right? Most settlements are rife with random bullshit from what I've seen. Watchtowers require settlers to be assigned to them and they don't give a lot of Defense points. You're better off just carrying a bunch of junk that you can auto-scrap for oil, circuitry, gears, and steel. Or use Local Leader to set up a supply line from settlement to settlement to save you the inventory space, as well as the hassle of constantly fast-traveling to make quick supply runs for stuff you already own but don't have on you, physically. It takes assigning one Settler to Provisioner duty to set up a supply line but the instant you do you have access to all the building materials and crafting ingredients you've stored in your other workshops.

I've gotten my first repeatable crash on PS4. Entering a certain area while doing the Silver Shroud quest causes an error. Trying a reinstall, but that is pretty much never the answer on console. It has been running so well up until now, I was really hoping we had moved past this  Hopefully I can come at the objective from a different direction and it will sort itself out.

I had to reload because after I shot him once I strafed right eternally, on reload the conversation stopped mid-sentence and never returned. The third time I nuked him immediately after the conversation was over.  Since there are few weapons starting with 't' I've been naming my stuff "The <X>". The 10mm pistol I got at the start is The Classic. It's also now an automatic machine pistol so that name is a little misleading I guess. e: The unique revolver from the fight we're talking about is now The Adversary. I don't really have a lot of ammo for it though.

Does assigning settlers just up it even more? Well, unassigned settlers will look for tasks to do and then do them, otherwise they'll just be in idle scavenger mode. Those tutorial settlers from Concord are unassigned by default. Settlers in those two-man farms that you recruit are usually already assigned to food production, so you'd need to manually take one off food and put them onto the tower.

It's easy enough, the PC user manual should have info on what to do. Since we're asking about graphics card, is there a good online resource to find one that'll work for me? All the names people post are just a bunch of numbers with X or ULTRA and mean nothing to me, the whole area seems surprisingly newb-unfriendly. My PC is one of those thin ones so I need a small card specifically. I'll never be playing Witcher 3 on Ultra on this machine but I'd like at least a boost over the integrated GPU.

Professor Shark posted:Re: GTX 750ti, is this it? Also, how hard is it to install a graphics card if you're a moderately alcoholic Luddite? It's literally a 2 minute job; take off the side of the case, unscrew the old grahics card, unplug it from the motherboard, replace it with the new one. Yeah that's a 750 ti. You'll have to do some looking at your current pc to see whether it'll actually fit though. a)that's a dual slot card, so you'll need to check if there's a free slot (opening for the ports) at the back of your case, next to your current card. There probably is, but make sure! b) That card you linked requires a 6-pin graphics card plug that comes from your power supply to function - I doubt your current card needs this extra power so your power supply probably doesn't have this plug. The card you linked does come with an adapter that fits two standard 4 pin connectors together to provide this power but it would be best to check beforehand if you have these spare connectors on your power supply (again, you probably do. ^^^^That being said, I believe the 750Ti is the most powerful card you can buy that comes in editions that don't require the 6-pin connector and just run off the motherboard, like this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127784 So you could get that if you didn't want to faff with the power supply, which I totally understand. So really all you need to do is check if you have a spare slot. If you don't (and you probably do), you could step down to the GTX 750 which comes in single slot variants. Hope this helps 2house2fly posted:It's easy enough, the PC user manual should have info on what to do. GTX 750 or 750 ti from nvidia is the default choice for 'cheapest gpu worth buying' and is a good starting point. Do ask in SHSC though.
