You're not going to see much headway until the GECK comes out. The weapon components themselves seem to have the weapon stats this time around and finding those would be difficult especially with what kind of fuckery we're getting.

Also the .50 rechamber is .50 AE. If you fired that out of a rifle or carbine you'd get something a bit more effective than a .308 which is what it is ingame.

The damage system has a cutoff where you do fuckall damage, then you start doing damage, then you get almost no resistance. -30% of 200 armor is 140 which does gently caress-all for the 14 damage weapons it appears almost exclusively in.

Anyone know if you can raise and brahmin at your settlements? There is one here at my place at the starlight drive in, and I wanted to know if I could collect and house more.

A trader walks around selling them, your settlers will also collect them, I have no idea if they have any effect however. You may need to build a feed trough for them first?

Oh, what a day...

I have a strange bug. I was heading over to the Memory Hole, and kept hearing a loud noise and my screen would shake. I assumed that it was a Super Mutant Behemoth somewhere nearby (probably a Freedom Trail event, but I wasn't and haven't done that quest yet).

Anyways, so I complete the Memory Hole quest, and go back to Sanctuary to waste time doing dumb Fallout stuff and get ready for the next quest. I got Piper and myself all loaded up for bear and start strolling around, and I start getting the screen shake thing again.

Going to try restarting the game. If that doesn't fix it I guess I'll go kill a Behemoth? It's pretty annoying.

They seem to generate fertilizer, I think that's about it.

The feed trough may increase the rate of fertilizer generation but it's mostly to keep the big dumb bastards from wandering off.

Nothing will ever top Vault 11 (or that time I ran into the Fallout 3 Gary vault with an enormous stack of tactilol mods and barely escaped after killing them all with a pool cue).

Macready likes it when you steal so just go to a room with lots of stealable items, steal something, quicksave, quickload, steal something, repeat. There's a slight cooldown on his liking you in between steals but that's instantly up when you load a game.

I got him to idolized in like 10 minutes this way, not counting the time to do his quests.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
Two of the vaults in this game are morally worse than anything we've seen in previous games, which is saying something. We're going way past science or philosophical allegories (Vault 11 references The Lottery and the Milgram experiments) to I-have-no-mouth-and-I-must-scream levels of pure torture here. Vault 11's "research" at least had something to say. Vault 95 is the set of a snuff flick.

On a lighter note, I want a mod that replaces Dogmeat with Temmie

Edit: man, I forgot how well-made Vault 11 is. It would be incredible to, in some future fallout game set on the east coast, find that last jumpsuit next to the remains of a corpse in a poignant location.

I gave Piper over 1200 rounds of 5.56mm and a souped-up assault rifle before heading off to the Glowing Sea.

She has 12 rounds left. She just keeps shooting at burrowing radscorpions and molerats, even while they are hidden.

What's the solution to this issue? Just let your companions use their default weapons? I might switch to Cait and give her a Super Sledge that I never use. Seems mildly amusing to send an angry Irish woman to go beat down my foes with a giant hammer.

Yea, Macready wouldn't stick with the souped up legendary sniper rifle I gave him, either. He'd have it out and look like he was gonna do poo poo with it, but then never shoot.

Vault 95 is also very nearly pointless. So you've got a bunch of addicts that after five years off the junk are presented with chems. . What did you think was going to happen? It's like studying the effects of high grade napalm on people, you have plenty of case studies of that happening before the war.

I went back a few pages and didn't see this posted, so... BGS did a brief blog-post about how updates and patches are gonna be handled.

Long story short, they'll be done they same way they were in Skyrim: Opt-in beta patches on PC, then finalized PC patches, then console versions. First beta patch will probably be next week.
