Do chems etc that raise a special point count towards perks? So if you need INT 9 and take some drugs to raise it/wear armor can you get the perk with it ?

Yeah, it's not just the writing that's terrible with conversations, the actual mechanics of just interacting with people are extremely janky. ----------------------------------------------------- Also, holy crap, a maxed out Gauss Rifle is loving ridiculous. I've saved up about 200 rounds for it, and it's my backup "win fight now" option. I was one-shotting deathclaws with sneak attacks. Two-shot a Behemoth.

Reveilled posted:Not being able to warn Des is a common bug for Underground Undercover, from what I understand it's still not clear what causes it, Des just shows as being permanently busy. I had a different, apparently much rarer bug with Underground Undercover, where the quest never progressed past "continue working with Father", well after it should have changed and given me the warning to pass along. I ended up progressing the quest through trial and error on the console to the "warn desdemona" phase so I could turn it in. poo poo. Guess I'm stuck waiting for the patch, unless there's a way to reset des.

Why is there no option for commandeering the Prydwen after slaughtering its crew? You missed a chance there Bethesda.

AbrahamLincolnLog posted:I just finished the game a second time. The first time, I went semi-auto sniper, the second time using solely automatic weapons. I never felt underpowered with either. I just realized that perk bonuses factor into the listed damage on the parts menu, so automatics looked unbelievably bad compared to semi-autos cause it was like a boosted 60 vs an unboosted 14. I'll try some autos this run, I guess.

Stokes posted:Ever since playing Life is Strange I play a mini-game called 'Spot the Chloe' in any other games I play. She's all over this one. Off hand I can think of two characters she voices. Cricket, and Tina De Luca from Vault 81. Speaking of Vault 81, with as much hype as I've seen in this thread about it I've been pretty unimpressed. I don't remember any other area of any other Bethesda Fallout game being so unapologetically rail-shooty. She also voices another Tina, Tiny Tina in Borderlands 2, Ash Burch turns up in a lot of things nowdays.

Raere posted:I liked that the factions had glaring flaws. I had to really think about which one I wanted to support. Even then, I wasn't fully comfortable with my choice. My hope was that I could help the Institute, but as its leader, attempt diplomacy with the Brotherhood because I still like them. But in every conversation you have, if you express disapproval or flat out refuse to use violence, they overrule you, even though you're the new leader. When I refuse to attack the Brotherhood, Shaun tells me that it's an order. Like so many other games, it's just an illusion of choice. I know they can't program in every scenario that a player could want to follow, but it's very obvious how rigid everything is. I forcefully put down that little coup in the bio area to set an example and consolidate my power; you're supposed to fall into line, not continue to ignore my wishes! To be fair, if the Institute attempted diplomacy with the Brotherhood they'd be nuked to oblivion on the spot, but it would have been nice to have the option to try.

Okay so every single time I switch out a companion for Dogmeat the game fucks up. I can switch him out but as soon as I send say Piper out for Dogmeat the game just stays stuck in conversation view. If I walk away I can run around with Dogmeat but I can't interact with anything.

I feel like I missed part of the story at Croup Manor. I read the entries on Theodore's computer that talk about his frustration trying to get his feral family members back to normal. I guess it's implied he just offed himself eventually? You can see his body and a pistol next to the computer. Bethesda is normally more...straightforward...with stuff like that

What constitutes a second/third/fourth target when it comes to triggering Gun-Fu? Does it trigger on shooting different body parts on the same enemy, or only on different enemies entirely?

You can hand your settlers guns and one unit of ammo but your companions will need more. I'm not sure where companions that are not actively acting as your companion fall on this scale.

Why would you kill those guys though, they're the best? They'd probably let you just borrow the ship as long as you returned it to it's perch in good condition.

Cait has opened up to me about her past and I passed a flirt opportunity: how far away from maxing my relationship would you say I am? I really want that trophy. Also I fast travelled to a settlement near the four satellites and heard a crash that Cait remarked on but despite multiple reloads I couldn't see the crashing vehicle for the life of me (I assume it's better than a Vertibird given the dialogue prompt).

NESguerilla posted:Yeah this for sure. it's really disappointing running into enemies that haven't aggroed yet that look like they are in an interesting scenario, and it always just turns out they aren't shooting at me because they haven't seen me yet. The key parts of civilization are allowed some room to breathe. Because that makes sense. I'm honestly a little bummed that there isn't more civilization around Diamond City. Something I really liked in Skyrim was that there was stuff immediately outside Whiterun because of course there would be. I feel like I'd prefer Boston to be mostly civilized with some Raider and Super Mutant strongholds rather than have the streets teeming with poo poo to kill me. And I know that there is an argument for that ultimately making the game more boring, but honestly the random battles in the street aren't as fun as stuff like the Trinity Building or the Assembly Plant which are straight up well designed shooting galleries.

Also Ash Burch isn't as noticeable as Stephen Russell is still, voicing all the Gutsys'/Handys' plus Nick Valentine makes him the most prominent vocal cast member. Bacon Terrorist posted:Cait has opened up to me about her past and I passed a flirt opportunity: how far away from maxing my relationship would you say I am? I really want that trophy. Cait only has two flirtation chances from what I remember, it basically goes one early on and then the other chance is after you get her detoxxed.

I just accidentally quick saved literally as a mini nuke was flying through the air at me :/ Silver lining, I found out that, while you're not invincible during VATS, you are *nearly* invincible during the crit animation. The only way I could get out of it was to use my crit right as the mini nuke hit me.

Know what bit of bethesda design I hate, they did this in skyrim too, when there's a dungeon you have to visit for plot reasons they just shove some debris in front of the pathway to the basement or whatever that magically vanishes when you have the quest you need. It pisses me off because I always get there before the quest and spend ages trying to find out how to get to the basement or whatever. Would it have just been so hard to put an "inaccessible" door or something there instead that opens for a plot reason when you visit it with the right quest?

Timeless Appeal posted:One thing that I liked about New Vegas was that the raiders seemed logical. The Powder Gangers and Jackals all have a rhyme and reason for occupying their respective spaces. And when you ran into raiders elsewhere, it made sense. You were either on some desolate road or going through a pass where you were easy pickings. And then you could get into some extreme combat situation on the outskirts of the map. Then the big complaint would be 'Why, in the middle of a civilized and organized city as large as Boston, do they tolerate an entire tower of Super Mutants/Factory full of raiders?' The fiends being 5 loving feet outside the other side of Vegas always annoyed me, with the goddamn NCR and House's personal robot army -right there- the entire time.

Fereydun posted:oh that reminds me for the final stretch of that faction's quests: Luckily I just dumped all the Institute weapons I found lying around, including from the FEV lab. Unrelated cool side-note - I was picking up one of the missing magazines from the Shamrock Taphouse, happened to wander east a little and discovered that Chinese Nuclear Sub. Shame taking the red-blooded, roleplay-friendly approach to that encounter merely fails the quest, especially considering the fact that Nate/Nora have a better reason than any other Fallout protagonist to react...rather strongly to the discovery.

The way Raiders are portrayed is a massive step up from F3, Oblivion or Skyrim, so kudos to Bethesda for that. Unfortunately "greenskins" don't benefit from that at all. There are some named bosses dotted around, but it definitely felt like the old "theme park" problem of previous titles.

It's like a not lovely submachine gun Suppressors are the best anti-recoil mod in the game, once your gun nut gets high enough/you cannibalize one from a compatible gun the recoil is a lot more manageable on the semi-auto combat rifle. I've mostly switched over to a gauss rifle around level 43, but I still use my two-shot combat rifle on everything that isn't around/over my level.

Magmarashi posted:Then the big complaint would be 'Why, in the middle of a civilized and organized city as large as Boston, do they tolerate an entire tower of Super Mutants/Factory full of raiders?' Make the map too big where the factions have space to breath and its a boring walk to the different areas. Put them too close together and you cant walk anywhere on the map without turning a corner into a firefight. New Vegas had better scale. 4 is too cramped, especially downtown Boston. The Fiends being so close to the NCR walls was a little silly but they did try to explain it in game as all the manpower being focused at the Dam and the NCR soliders being under strict orders not to pursue the Fiends because they always fell back to the safety of Vault 3. There was also that NCR Ranger who infiltrated the vault that was trying to assassinate the head Fiend, not like they were doing nothing.
