Magmarashi posted:No, but I didn't really like that New Vegas ended completely after Hoover drat, either. Lets compare it to skyrim. In Skyrim in valhalla at the end of the game, you fight the evil dragon. Its a long fight and its quite filled with talking. In fallout 4 You go to some location and defend it for like 2 minutes then a movie plays of a giant robot or nuke going off Its like night and day.

Shameful. quote:In Skyrim in valhalla at the end of the game, you fight the evil dragon. Its a long fight and its quite filled with talking. The cool part is when you first go to Sovngarde (Valhalla) and the guard asks you what right you have to enter the great hall. The generic answer is "By right of birth, I am Dovahkiin!" but you can also say various other things you've accomplished if you had done them, such as right of blood for being Listener for the Night Mother, right of glory as leader of the Companions, etc. RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Nov 18, 2015 |

Owlofcreamcheese posted:In some ways the whole plot of the game is pretty small and local stories. So how it ended won't matter in 50 years or whatever when the next game takes place. In some ways that makes the story throw away but in another way every single videogame doesn't really need to be "THE WHOLE WORLD IS ENDING OMG!" all the time. I meant more in the sense that they'd pick something like an NCR forming or a larger East Coast Brotherhood military state or a Institute backed Commonwealth. It makes using any Commonwealth pieces difficult for potential future titles, even if they'll likely dump it and move on however stretch of time or location they chose, if they don't have a clear ending states. But then again we'd likely have no idea what Bethesda will chose until we're beating each other over the head with our own personal canon diatribes when the next game is announced and the thread cycle begins anew.

Dog armour for Dogmeat - Is it purely cosmetic or does it actually help him survive the beating a bit longer? I think it looks ugly as hell, but if it helps him keep the enemy busy for a bit longer I'm all for it.

Tenzarin posted:You need an automatic weapon that is legendary with wounding gives target 30 bleeding damage. Each shot makes the target bleed for 30 and its not affected by resistances. Automatic weapons are amazing at the high end. I'm rolling in so many fusion cells and plasma cartridges from clearing out dungeons that I my Righteous Authority and wounding automatic Plasma Rifle never run out of ammo. With proper gun nut upgrades they do insane damage too. Righteous Authority is basically a crit machine that is hyper accurate. And does 2x crit damage. So I can just constantly headshot and vaporize things.

Vier posted:Any fix for getting stuck in terminals/conversations? I tried setting the game to window borderless and edited the Fallout4Prefs.ini to change iPresentInterval=1 but I'm still getting stuck. From way far back, but the only thing that solved this was capping my framerate. Which involved downloading a 3rd party utility.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:wishful thinking but for a sequel to Fallout Tactics i'd be pretty hype about a game set in the northern US/Canada three way between the burgeoning NCR, the newly reformed "warrior honor" Legion that the Legate wanted to build (requirement of 100 Speech and Barter) and the ultra-militarized East Coast BOS Since we're talking endings I still think it's badass as hell how if you play as a diplomatic woman on the side of the NCR, Legate Lanius, second (or first depending) in command of the slaver rapists, refers to you as "the Woman of the West".

Broken Cog posted:Fun fact: Before meeting Deacon in the Railroad HQ, he can be found tailing you undercover in various locations. He always has a generic name like "Drifter" or "Resident", but he uses the same model, has the same voice actor, and is marked as essential. Deacon owns. drat that's cool. I wondered why he was so gung-ho to vouch for me and how he talked like he knew who I was even though I hadn't met him before. There's tons of little touches in this game that I love.

Listening to the diamond city radio, I'm hearing songs I remember from FO3. My assumption had been that Bethesda just paid songwriters to come up with atom bomb / fallout themed songs in a 1950s style for the games. I was a bit  when I found out that they're actual songs from the 1950s.

Vargs posted:Just had to revert about two hours' progress because the game gave me a radiant quest to kill everything at a location that I already cleared at the very beginning of the game. Good to see that bug making a return from Skyrim. I was worried that Bethesda actually made a single step forward with one of their games but luckily they are indeed completely incapable of any improvement whatsoever. Did you actually go there or just decide it was bugged and reload? Because all the radiant quests I've had that have me going somewhere I already cleared worked fine and the location had mobs in it again for me to kill. Also I'll never understand people who turn autosave off in Bethesda games. MoraleHazard posted:Listening to the diamond city radio, I'm hearing songs I remember from FO3.

Has anyone had problems with some resources in settlements being forgotten after you leave? At first I had it wit the Drive-In forgetting I had any defenses down, but now annoyingly it's moved to Sanctuary thinking I only have 11 beds down when I've got about 24, so every time I go back people bitch at me about "the bed situation". Of course when you go into workshop mode it immediately remembers you have the stuff and updates the pipboy to match, but fast travel away and it forgets again. Any known way to fix this? Also, I decided to take a Vertibird from Sanctuary to Corvega to clear it out for a radiant quest last night. It dropped me off to the sound of the expected raider gunfire, but I wasn't expecting them to be shooting at a supermutant behemoth who was being swarmed by feral ghouls. And to top it all off I then started getting shot in the back by synths. Wish I hadn't been spotted because that would have been an interesting fight to watch

I hope this gets quoted every page so I can continue having a good laugh at this guy. Ok, so, what's the deal with Stingwings? They keep loving off from combat instead of fighting unless I am 2 feet from them at the start.

I chalk it up to laziness on Bethesda's part. Much easier to license some old songs than to come up with fresh material. At least get some Caravan Palace shoved in there, that stuff sounds like crazy future 50s music. wafflemoose fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Nov 18, 2015 |

Starhawk64 posted:I chalk it up to laziness on Bethesda's part. Much easier to license some old songs than to come up with fresh material. Probably more expense than laziness. There is original music in the game, the theme and background ambient music, but creating a whole selection of imitation bands from an alternate 1960's, 70's, 80's etc on top of that would be a pretty massive project either for their own composers or for whatever bands were hired to do it and it would end up being a huge amount of money and hours spent on something probably only a very small part of the playerbase pays any attention to. Licensing old songs is often cheap, and if they are old enough (75 years I think) you don't even need to license them.

Obvious exemption to the rule that all original songs made up for games are hideously embarrassing: Metal Gear Rising. Persona 4 might count too, I forget if they were made for the game or licensed.
