Plot Twist: Obsidian is doing all the DLC and the main story of FO4 will be retconned away. You'll wake up from the cryo-chamber with your son shot in the head on the floor, holding nothing but a poker chip while Frank Sinatra plays on the vault radio.

I've gotten one decent legendary about 75% of the way through the game (a sniper rifle that did 50% greater damage to humans) and the game froze immediately after I picked it up. Everything else has been total poo poo metal and leather armor that replicates effects I already have, or melee weapons. Has anyone had actual good luck getting decent legendaries?

Welcome to why randomized borderlands style loot is really loving awful in a game like FO4. The flip side is they put like 1/100th the work of previous games hiding unique and interesting to find weapons throughout the world. Good for them. Bad for you.

computer parts posted:You might refer to A Canticle for Leibowitz here. If you like, then, 200 years post-war Fallout's setting, before Fallout 3, was meant to be roughly equivalent to the world in Fiat Lux. Then Fallout 3 is a story set in the world of Fiat Homo, but instead of just doing the sensible thing and setting the story during the events of Fiat Homo, the writer decides that it's happening after the events of Fiat Lux because he has a dumb "never write a prequel" rule. And then people start saying that the Fiat Homo world is an integral part of the Canticle for Leibowitz setting, and the idea that future stories follow the progression set out in Fiat Lux becomes the opinion of people who are taking the setting too seriously. I hope this comparison pleases you. However, I am still greatly enjoying this dumb game with it's terrible story. Shooting things and looting boxes is fun. I just wish I could be shooting things and looting boxes in a not-dumb game with a not-terrible story. Reveilled fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Nov 19, 2015 |

You only know what a super mutant is because this is your 4th or 5th game with them or whatever. It's totally possible the character is killing the big green guys and not knowing what they are in any meaningful way and maybe not even knowing what they are called.

Which is dumb as gently caress, but likely the real reason why. Hmm, that would make a great mod. Give Synths regular laser weapons and make the institute versions only spawn at higher levels while beefing them up

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:Actually if you read the terminals in Vault 101 it's implied that only specific people in Sanctuary Hills were selected to be let in and cryo-frozen. The rest of the townspeople who made it in were supposed to be separated out and "disposed of" by the vault staff once the right people were frozen.  so hard it's unsalvageable.

Like, I get that some people find the whole "SUPAH MUTANT WUT DAT?" styled dialogue to be dumb because you killed 29 of them on your way out of the vault before picking up your deathclaw stomping suit, but bear in mind these games are now old enough that there are people for whom fallout 4 is their first fallout game, and they are interested in some of the lore behind it. Just sayin most of us are basically gramps & gram at this age. Kids these days don't know we been slayin super mutants for 18 years now.

Fereydun posted:the real answer is because they wanted cool blue lasers to fit their color scheme more Err, blue is higher frequency light than red. This is why blu-ray pits and lands are a fraction of the size of CD tech. I agree that the institute laser poo poo looks miles cooler than the AER9/derivatives and it sucks that it's 1/3 as powerful.

I'm coming up on hour 60 of my first play through and just quick traveled to the Diamond City market to sell off some lovely "special" weapons I couldn't scrap when the guard you always teleport in next to made some quip, only this time he said something like "I can't believe it's Christmas again already." And low and behold I check my Pip-Boy and it's 11:14AM on December 25th, 2287. They even salvaged some decorations and strung up lights all around the market: Why is the Bethesda team so good at building worlds but so terrible about writing people to put in them? Makes me wonder what other time sensitive things they put in.

The tedium of having to manage my inventory and constantly give items to my companion and go back to base to dump items after clearing every location or two is starting to wear down on me. I'm pretty close to just saying gently caress it and using the console to add 1,000 carry weight. I don't really want to, it feels like cheating. I would rather use a mod that made all junk weightless but reduced carry weight so I would have to think harder about what kind of weapons and armor I can carry. I doubt there is a way to do that easily so I assume this would become a sort of Bashed Patch or script extender feature that you could apply to all mods too. Of course I suppose I could just not pick up so much stuff but that's no fun.

RBA Starblade posted:I can confirm that a pipe rifle with a ~50 round mag set to auto just fucks everything. I gotta say, even without the auto option, a 50 round mag pipe rifle with something as basic as a hardened receiver and stock sights chews through most of the leveled mobs I've encountered. Its a shame the pipe guns' sight options are complete poo poo.

Ahaha. Oh my god. The robotics expert perk is loving insane. Don't believe me? Feast your eyes on this.  That's a loving Legendary Sentry Bot. And I own it. It's a permanent follower now. As in, fully commandable and everything. And I have more. Many more. The last time a vertibird tried to roll up on me it was like a dozen flak cannons were going off. The thing didn't even make a full circle to bring it's gun to bear before three security bots gunned it down. I'm thinking i'll see if I can put this one in my favorite settlement as a guard.

CHECK SUPER MUTANT KILLS >=5, PLAY " do you mean those dumb green things that hate me?".wav My *IMMERSION* is not so ruined that the extra legwork is really required. I had killed about 8 different kinds of mutated freak by that point, why should I know specifically which one they are talking about?
