How did that happen? I jumped in some molten metal and nothing. It was like, a foot deep. I hid corpses in it. That's rad.

I took this screenshot a few feet away from a deathclaw. There was another bear just hovering in the sky. After I shot the deathclaw in the face, a third bear fell on the deathclaw.

Assassins Creed: Syndicate threw me a good one just then.

Early in the game, you win a gang fight and earn a train. The fight against the "boss" of the area is a tough one, I guess, on the roof of the train. The first try, he killed me, the second try he just walked off the edge and died, so that was easy.

The cutscene immediately afterwards has you going into the train and talking to the woman who runs it and offering to keep her on while you take over ownership of the train. Except... well, the character Jacob (one of the main characters you play as) was fine, but his sister Evie (the other player character) got stuck in the doorway, and she's supposed to walk around the cabin gestulating and talking. She does all that, but while standing/moonwalking in the doorway in the background while Jacob stares interestedly at the space where she's supposed to be. Then in comes Greene, another character, carrying a stack of books and papers. Except, he's invisible. So Jacob talks to a floating pile of books for a bit. Evie does too, but she's still in the doorway with her back to the room, being very animated to the outside air.

Go Ubisoft.

I gave one of the companions in Fallout 4, Ken Valentine, a Fat Man. Ken proceeded to disappear from my side when I entered a building that happened to be full of enemies. Ken was loose in the building somewhere responding to the enemies threats.

Ready to fire upon them with miniature nukes.

I pretty much turned the game into a survival horror game.

There's a perk that makes you immune to friendly fire from companions. Since companions magically have infinite ammo, giving him a Fat Man would be hilarious under those circumstances.

Speaking of Fallout - is it like other Bethesda games where you can get all min/max and break the game over your knees by making stuff with ridiculously insane stats?

Skyrim had the enchanting/alchemy feedback loop which let you make weapons and armour so powerful they caused overflow errors.

Oblivion had the super crafting menu that let you make poo poo like a ring which made anyone who wore it light on fire and slowly burn to death.

Fallout 3 is, definitely. I'm doing a break-the-game run with crazy sneak and small guns stats.

I'm at the point where I can knock a guy out point-blank with a Gauss rifle, do zero damage, and he'll get up and continue his patrol normally. Or patrolling Enclave will rotate their heads unnaturally - they're fixed on my position, but can't statistically "see" me, which breaks their animations.

Fallout's always been a lot more confined than that. Not to say you can't be stupidly overpowered, it's just that there's no mechanisms to make things that do five-digit damage every second or something. Fallout 4's got some pretty heavy customization going on, which I can already see is a really fun system, but I doubt it's as absurdly broken.

In 3 you could max out your sneak and unarmed (melee?) and just go around with the Chinese stealth armor and deathclaw gauntlet. You could walk right up to almost anyone and stab them to death in one hit and their buddies would never know you were there.

I think the closest thing I've seen to "gamebreaking" come out of Fallout 4 is that there's a really strong gun you can see in a locked case in the vault you start the game in and it needs at least 2 points in lockpicking to access, except the dog companion you get ~10 minutes later has the ability to fetch items and is capable of grabbing the gun from the case, but even then that's less "completely break the game to your whims" and more "have a really powerful gun way earlier than you normally would"

I'm pretty sure that the game was designed with weird poo poo in mind, given that there's a super mutant whose sole purpose is to run up to you and football spike a mininuke on your face.

Cryolator isn't that great. It's basically a flamethrower if I remember right from the like three minutes of testing I did when I grabbed it, and early on you're so fragile that the slowed movement speed and limited range of it means enemies will just shoot you in the face before you can hurt them with it. It seems like it's mostly a novelty weapon. What is kind of gamebreaking is that there's a legendary modifier that doubles your damage if the enemy has full health. By default stealth attacks with guns make you do 2.0x damage as well, plus whatever the critical attack modifier is. Get an instigator modifier on a sniper early on and you can just snipe loving everything since crits don't ever miss and the doubled stealth critical will just destroy everything.

The most broken weapon with that build is the Terrible Shotgun. Most weapons do extra damage on a critical hit, and a stealth attack is a guaranteed critical that ignores armour and deals double damage. The Terrible Shotgun applies the critical bonus for each buckshot pellet that hits the target, so a single stealth shot at close range can kill anything except an Albino Radscorpion.

Well, in 4 you can do something else. If you get enough AGI, you can get two perks, Blitz and Ninja. Ninja applies a massive stealth bonus to your melee attacks if you remain undetected, while Blitz allows you to close a lot of distance while attacking melee with VATS. Combined with Big Leagues, a perk that makes your melee weapons do up to double damage, you can get some pretty broken stuff, like this

Man, same in skyrim. You could get yourself armor and skills that made sneak attacks do 8x damage and then get a dagger that double too so that's 16x damage and you could oneshot dragons with it, I hope melee in these games never stops being some absurd poo poo :allears:

The dagger sneak perk gives a 15x damage if you strike while hidden. There's also a special pair of gloves that double backstab damage that can be acquired through a questchain that utilises stealth. They stack, giving 30x damage. You can then enchant a ring to give you further backstab mayhem. Not to mention that the last perk in the Sneak chain grants you a sneak reset if you're detected, meaning that if you work it right, you can lure a dragon to the ground, reset your sneak so it can't see you and backstab it to instantly kill it.

Can they see the turrets if they're completely enclosed?

Becuase having enough Defense wll keep raiders and such from attacking at all, so a tower full of turrets which can't see out or anything seems like it should do the job just fine.

It's not a glitch, but there's one dagger in Skyrim that has like a 2% chance to instantly kill the target no matter how much health it has. This works on every killable entity in the game including the end boss.

To be more exact, someone goofed up - the code was suppose to be that the higher your strength was verses the enemy's defense, the more likely it'd instant-kill. But someone accidentally reversed it, so it's far more likely to proc when your enemy is a beefwall.

Given this is a SAGA game where coding is even more 'spit and a prayer' than usual due to the director wanting to make sure the game surprises even him, it's sometimes amazing the games can even function.

Unfortunately if you're gonna give a follower a Fat Man, you'll need to stock them full of Mini-Nukes since they will use ammo for firing. But you can give them modified guns that retain their stats so they'll fire off MIRV nukes if you make it so. :getin:

I don't know how it worked in those photos, but I've had no problem dunking corpses and getting them to look like that for a minute or two before just going totally black. You're right, though, that some of the molten metal containers don't do anything at all; I had success with the really huge one in the Forged hideout that's not in the blast furnace and has a lip on/near the ground.
