Anyone have a Wounding shotgun, or other weapon that can be modded to become a shotgun? I'm curious to see if the bleed property is applied per pellet; the DPS of that ought to be insanely efficient if so.

I just noticed now that objects in the world that I have tagged for search are highlighted in green. This is new. I didn't fiddle with the settings. Was there a recent patch?

I've seen people post about that, and even post pics, and I have never had it happen. It's probably bugged in some way.

Hey, I can't start the Shadow of Steel quest because every time I talk to Danse he just asks me if I want to join the Brotherhood, to which I have already declined. My objective is to talk to him, but he won't do it about the quest, so I can't move on. What do I do about this?

well, that's a brotherhood quest so you probably can't complete it because you turned down joining the brotherhood e: there's literally no reason to turn down joining them, and in fact locks you out of accessing the prydwen (which has a gauss rifle you can steal) so just join and backstab them later Manatee Cannon fucked around with this message at 13:14 on Nov 19, 2015 |

The place was meant to be creepy, but there's nothing special about feral ghouls. It's a reference to a prewar ghoul cult from FO3. I hope you found the unique weapon hidden in the pool of water in that flashback room.

So, I beat the game. A few thoughts. I decided to play "gently caress the Institute" and bide my time for the right time to mow everyone down in there. Hell I initially just blew Father away after getting down there, I don't know what I expected. In NV it would have kicked you onto a different quest track, but this is Bethesda. It just locks you into the room. So I played along undercover for the Railroad. The battle at Bunker Hill was uh...Glitchy. I shot up the Institute and Brotherhood dudes outside, then went down the hatch. And everything down there was un-hittable and the turrets could still blast my armor bits off. Apparently to continue the undercover path you just take over the surface and don't even go down there? It's as clear as mud. Met Father on the roof, told him to get hosed. And that failed the mass synth breakout...I figured it would have rolled that into the final assault, but hahaha nope. The Railroad whined they didn't have enough dudes, told me to go ask the Minutemen for help in the final assault. Okay, that sounds good, I figured we'd just join forces. Hahaha nope, when you go ask the Minutemen for help it considers you're just going with them for the final battle. Which was pretty dumb since I had mainly been working with the Railroad. Again, clear as mud. It never said explicitly "You're going to pick whichever faction takes down the Institute because we're too loving lazy to have them team up". This is utterly stupid because the Railroad literally tells you "Maybe you could see if the Minutemen could help us" or something like that. HELP, not go with them for the entire finale. I didn't think the whole "twist" with Father was that bad. Not nearly as bad as the Institute overall. The entire plot of the game could have not happened if they had been less retarded. "So we're going to kidnap this baby for THE FUTURE. Maybe we should take the parents along, and convince them to join us? Nah gently caress that, just kill one and give the other a reason to come looking for payback." Not to mention if their whole thing was they needed pre-war humans, why did they just take one baby and murder the other hundred or so frozen people? It can't just be because they wanted an infant, when Kellog literally calls you "the backup". What the gently caress, Institute.

Where in the main plot do you guys suggest I get to before focusing more on pissing about? I've met Piper in Diamond City but wandered off and got distracted prettying up Sanctuary. Should I unlock all the factions and then start loving about, or what?

I would be fine if he said "you're not in the brotherhood, so you can't help us, but here's what that crazy poo poo was". But he doesn't do that. He just asks me to join again, which is the same dialogue from the previous quest, which I cannot end by just saying 'no' which is dumb. It's mind-bogglingly dumb. It's a perfect demonstration of the lack of foresight put into this game's quest chains.

Ak Gara posted:The Davy Crockett that was posted is a fission device and the Fallout wiki says the mini-nuke is too but if it was a fusion device, it could be as small a yield as you like. Just for argument's sake, seeing as they've pretty much mastered nuclear science (robots, cars, fusion-cored power armor, etc), the Fat Man mini-nukes are probably a combination of price, weight and yield. (especially going by Fort Strong's notes). It's not so much that they're surprisingly small blasts for a nuclear device, but that they're man-portable and won't vaporize the poor bastard pulling the trigger in a hectic firefight.

This game does not allow you to say no to practically anything, and actively withholds plot poo poo from you if you take the out on the few occasions you are allowed to have a say in the matter. I don't want to be a member of the brotherhood, they're shitheads. I don't want to do the quest either. I want to know more about why that poo poo was here. But Danse gives me literally the same dialogue lines from the first quest I did with them, acting as if it didn't even occur in the game world. That's a fundamental problem with the writing. I can't know what I want to know unless I join the brotherhood, not because "it's a brotherhood quest", but because the developers didn't consider the situation where I would have said no to them in a previous unrelated issue but still wanted information, which is a recurring issue throughout the game. It's annoying and sloppy.

It's annoying and sloppy. Yeah it's awkward and lazy. ~Bethesda games~ Just infiltrate the BoS by joining even if you don't really want to. That's basically what the game is assuming you're doing with every faction anyway and there's nothing stopping you from showing your true colors when it comes time to cross the point of no return.

I've been playing this game since release, every other day. My clock is reaching about 1.5 days in-game (although I'm sure that's a lot of AFK time as well), level 21. I'm not even bored yet, unlike games like MGS5 and Skyrim where I lost interest in them by then. Building a house and prancing about in pink power armour owns more than I would like to admit.

You're both letting your rpg-feelings get in the way and you're all getting too worked up. CJacobs is complaining that there's no dialogue for a non-BoS member to ask Danse about the Prydwen because Danse's scripting is trying to railroad him into joining the BoS. Congrats on finding that edge case there buddy. Manatee Cannon is getting apoplectic that CJacobs is complaining at all and is focusing on the quest at hand rather than the dialogue issue he's complaining about, You don't have to start a blood feud over this, you nimrods.

Which is closer to the core of what he was complaining about. I just think it's funny because lol Bethesda. (this is a real spoiler lmao) also you can pretend that danse is just malfunctioning
