Props to Danse for being the rare BoS member to take time and patiently explain what the gently caress they're trying to do. Also for being the rare BoS member to acknowledge that I'm pretty badass myself and that he couldn't have done it without me.

It's one of the pieces of clothing you can load up with ballistic mesh, too; combined with its base ballistic/physical defense of 50 you can actually get really good defense out of it. On that note, it's pretty weird and arbitrary which clothing you can armor up at the bench and which you can't. I assume it's got something to do with armor - like the reason I can't armor my Road Leathers is that you can wear regular armor breastplates over them - but that's inconsistent, the sequin gowns for example allow you to wear normal armor on your arms and can be armored up.

So I completed the game on the railroad route. That ending was kind of a wet fart. Game's action was alright, though - it got pretty tough at the end, though I'm pretty sure part of that was my insistence on not using power armor. Gamma gun was a lot better than I thought it was at first - that thing actually has a pretty massive AoE. I think I've completed most of the major quests and seen most of the locations people talk about. Is there anything to these "Lost Soul" quests, or are they just more radiant stuff? I'm probably just gonna shelf this game until the GOTY version comes out. Zombies' Downfall posted:Hell yeah it is. It's one of the pieces of clothing you can load up with ballistic mesh, too; combined with its base ballistic/physical defense of 50 you can actually get really good defense out of it. That can't be it, because you can ballistic mesh Military Fatigues and you can wear all the armor you want over those. I think it's just a really inconsistent and poorly-implemented system tbh.

We've got a modding thread already going and the modding community for Fallout 4 is moving at light speed. E. unless you are on console then it can't be helped. The sole reason to get Bethesda games is the mods, they aren't strong enough to stick around as long as they do without mods.

I sincerely hope the patch fixes the Gauss rifle and several other weapons just straight-up missing at near point-blank range despite visibly hitting enemy bodies. As it stands the explosive shotgun always hits and cripples everything, and the only reason I have for using the rifle is taking out power armored dudes with VATS.

The ending just highlights how awful the find-your-son prerolled story is. Ironically, shooting through the Institute was actually sort of fun. I didn't expect one of the enemies that you face there... I'm surprised Bethesda took the time to make them.

At the very least, even at level 50+, if you have 1 endurance, garbage armor, no power armor, and are on survival, enemies can chew through you pretty quickly - killed while loading quickly. I had to reload an earlier save and take some psycho/med-x/psycho jet in order to survive an area transition at one point. Most enemies are still no big deal, though, which is sort of disappointing.

There's a chance this has been mentioned before, but due to the rate at which the thread moves I missed it, but: I think it'd be interesting (and annoying, which is sort of the point) if some of the kidnapping side-missions turned out to be bullshit extortion plots to get caps from the player. I managed to play the water rackets harder than I even meant to and have had enough caps to just throw them at kidnappings for nearly-free exp (sure, not as much as if I also killed the raiders that did the kidnapping, but Garvey throws missions at you almost as fast as the topics on this thread changes, so gently caress it), and ever since I first started using this method I have been thinking about what a(nother) missed opportunity that is. I also think it'd be hilarious if someone modded the PC to be 50% smaller and branded it as a mod that doubles the map's scale. Can this be done? Seems like a worthy use of time/effort.

Geez, the game really lost steam near the end. I thought when I reached the Institute that I was probably like halfway through the game and had a couple of twists left, especially with how shady everything seemed. I guess I was supposed to pad my runtime with more side missions, but I kept on the main path and before I know it, Father's in bed and I get a cutscene and that's it? Oh, okay. Kind of a dark ending, I guess. War never changes. Guess I'll restart and play as Ronda Rousey, all these melee builds look way more fun than what I was doing. Man, I'm kind of a mixed bag about the game now. I remember in the first 20 hours or so, the game was stunning visually and the choices the devs made impressed me a ton. I remember thinking several times, "Well, THIS is probably what they have to do because of the limitations of the engine/video games as a medium, but then THAT happened instead, which really impressed me. Something simple like a companion interacting with something I didn't expect them to, or characters knowing about my actions elsewhere, really impressive stuff. I guess I just wish the main storyline had more effort. I feel there's so much more they could have done with a lot of characters. Maybe this type of game isn't really for me. I had a huge blast but I wish there was more story, building and maintaining settlements and collecting stuff doesn't really appeal to me.

I don't really get why trade routes can't just include everything in a settlement's workbench, I keep mods at them and it's a pain figuring out what was where when I noticed they don't carry over. Setting through five or six different loads to get the caps from my stores sucks too, though I'm making decent bank now off it. It also means stuff like fruit and water doesn't either (except purified water maybe?) so cooking (both kinds  ) is a bit of a nuisance too.

So, word of advice, don't go to Spectacle Island. AKA Mirelurk island. I fought 3 legendary mirelurks, 1 legendary killclaw, 2 mirelurk kings and a mirelurk queen. AT THE SAME TIME. I burned through all my ammo, and had to punch the last legendary mirelurk to death. I used up all my homing beacons (which were underwhelming), arty strikes, and relay grenades. It was loving awesome. My power armor is all red or broken totally. BUT THE BEST PART after I kill everything...I find the mirelurk repelling radio station. whomp whomp. I did find this cool scene under water on the way there. http://imgur.com/a/PlNeY I love how the radio works under water. But this is totally invisible from the surface, so it's just in case you like walking around underwater. BTW You can die underwater in power armor if you spend enough time there.

Baronjutter posted:So does power armour lower your VATS points or something? I used to be able to get off about 4-5 sniper shots with a full amount of action points, but in my x-01 power armour a single sniper shot takes all my AP. Is something wrong or is power armour just really bad? Based on the wording of some of the armor mods, I'm pretty sure AP cost is influenced by the weight of armor. I pretty much had to abandon PA in my luck based VATS run, as I'd get easily 3-4 times as many shots outside of it(granted, most of that is probably ap reducing legendary armor).

I thought it was like part of the character that he always walked calmly. If I change out of it into my normal armour I move fine. The silver Shoud outfit really drives home how badly the game needs some sort of system to wear things over your armour. I mean my armour is apparently just a series of skimpy plates here and there anyways.
