Is it necessary at some pint to invest in some of the weapon damage increase perks? Because at level 20 they are getting pretty spongy.

Most of them cap out at doubling your damage output. That's roughly equivalent to the highest level of gun mods, for comparison. Bethesda is poo poo at writing quests, so you solve everything by shooting something at something, so I don't see how you play this game without either doing that, or finding some marginal work-around to shooting stuff.

I'm really not sure why you wouldn't max one of the weapon damage perks unless you were bound and determined to make the game harder, they double your damage (which is a big deal given how armor works and how you're basically trying to beat thresholds) alongside other bonuses. Like Gunslinger, the pistol one, also increases pistol range and causes your shots to randomly disarm enemies and cripple limbs. Since skills no longer exist and you get like ten times as many perks to compensate for it, not taking these is tantamount to playing another Fallout game without ever putting a single point in a combat skill. You could, I guess, but even in the early ones that mostly allowed a pacifist playthrough it was deliberately handicapping yourself not to invest in Small Guns.

I'm still not terribly far in this game, but from what I've gathered from the Brotherhood of Steel, they are from Lyon's Pride back in Fallout 3. In that game Bethesda pretty much wrote them to be the "good guys" against the Enclave "bad guys." That meant they were sort of a defective group of the B.O.S. at that point and didn't really follow the Brotherhood's ideals. That was the whole reason the Outcasts existed. They were dudes that left Lyon's Pride because they wanted to get back to being what the B.O.S. was all about, being dicks to everyone. Now in Fallout 4, Lyon's Pride seem to be dicks again. Quite flip flopping B.O.S.

I'm kind of curious if the extremely careful way that sentence was worded ("allow" and not "encourage", "can solve quests" and not "play the game without getting loving annoyed all the time") was deliberate or not The quests in FO1/2 are less combat centric and offer more alternative resolution methods but a "pacifist" playthrough is still a kind of challenge run, and it's really smart and not difficult to raise one combat skill alongside Speech, Science, etc Either way the answer to that dude is the same, get a goddamn weapon perk in FO4 Baku fucked around with this message at 03:35 on Nov 21, 2015 |

I wish that the latest Nvidia drivers would stop crashing Fallout 4 for me, because from the 10 seconds I got to see of actual gameplay with it on, it does seem to run quite a bit better. I'm on Windows 10 and got them from the site instead of the Geforce Experience app. It seems like I'm just going to have to roll them back and keep checking for a newer driver/Fallout 4 patch.

Oh no, I've started noticing when I go to trade with settlers that my custom awesome guns keep SOMEHOW ending up in their inventories... Guess I'm moving my home home away from the city hub lest they steal all my guns and kick me out  EDIT: Thinking about it, it was only weapons that they already had ammo for.

Of course the cow could always move up onto the roof and be unmolested but it's stubborn.  Also, in the same picture I'm standing beneath a basketball net. Marking out the boundaries used up too much build allowance though.  edit: also, basketball nets are great for hanging lightbulbs from, and the plain bulbs are the best light for your buck by far. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 04:02 on Nov 21, 2015 |

Seems like the game should be making a much bigger deal about (Vault 81 spoilers) the fact that I'm now infected with an apparently very deadly and extremely contagious disease. Like, what about romances? If a bite can transmit this, what about sex? What if I sneeze on someone in Sanctuary?

Recently playing through Fallout 1 I can tell you this: While the main questline does give you multiple options to get to your goal, be it fighting, talking or sneaking, this is not true for most of the sidequests. I got pretty pissed when I figured out the only way I can help that one guy's raider problem in his farm is to barge in the front door (which is the only entrance) and shoot everyone.

Is there any underarmor that's better than the vault suit? I was excited when I saw that a Brotherhood of Steel uniform fit under armor and had stats comparable to an un-upgraded vault suit, but the fact that you can't mod it like you can the vault suit is disappointing.

I'm a bit lost in the main quest. I just got the data from the Institute back to the dude who asked for it and wasn't given the next quest in the chain. I have a turn-in to the Railroad leader, but all she cares about is me chosing either them or the Minutemen and won't let me turn it in (Memory Interrupted. I have a Institute-based mission that I don't want to do; do I have to do it to progress the main plot? MisterBibs fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Nov 21, 2015 |

The stats on the vault suit are a drop in the bucket overall. That said, when you meet the Railroad faction, you can do some quests for them and learn how to add ballistic weave to a selection of under-armor clothes and outfits. Not as many as I'd like, but you can do things like give Military Fatigues 90 damage/energy resistance and then also wear armor on top of it.

Has anyone else had problems with massive broken-as-gently caress textures stretching through all terrain all the way to the horizon when they look in a certain direction, after fast traveling? It happens semi-rarely but often enough that it's annoying the poo poo out of me and I want it to stop.
