Broken Cog posted:I'm pretty sure you can just kill him, but no, I don't think you can "save" him. He is a raider after all. You cannot kill him either. Even if you back out of dialogue and try to kill him in VATS, you'll hear X6 give the code that shuts him down. Doesn't even turn him friendly, either. Turns him into a terrain piece.

I think he means the moon monkeys. You just break them down for resources.

Just let you set up your own motivation in or after the character creator.

Zero VGS posted:I figured out myself that the Better Criticals perk doesn't stack with sneak attack criticals, I guess they're two separate types. Based on the in game descriptions, my own experiments, and the formulas someone posted on the Fallout Wikia site, I'm about 90% sure that there are no sneak criticals in FO4. There is a straight damage multiplier for sneak attacks (improvable with Ninja and Mr. Sandman perks), and there is a critical multiplier (affected by weapon and Better Criticals perk), but they are completely unrelated concepts in FO4, unlike in the previous games. e: so to actually answer your questions, if you perform a VATS critical while [Hidden] then you won't get the sneak multiplier at all.

I shot some dude's leg off while he was still alive and at first I was like "HOLY poo poo" but then I realized he was a synth  First mod I want is to be able to do that to any enemy.

Seashell Salesman posted:e: so to actually answer your questions, if you perform a VATS critical while [Hidden] then you won't get the sneak multiplier at all. I know if I do a non-critical VATS shot, that can get a sneak attack multiplier like a normal shot can, I'm just not sure if I can combine both and stack those. If I can, then Better Criticals / Critical Banking could let me do some insane money shot.

I want an alt start mod where you can be a synth and have institute relay access from day 0, that could be neat. Same with start as a BOS guy and start when the prydyn shows up.

On more than 1 occasion I've blown both arms off of a ghoul, or just a leg and had it claw its way towards me on the ground. It happens more frequently early game when your weapons don't do a lot of damage, rather than late game where you can one-shot ghouls with ease.

So far the level 4 merchant random encounter trigger points I've discovered are northeast of concord, directly off the main road to the right at a campfire, and just behind the mass fusion containment shed. Fuckers are still bugged though. They say they'll come to your settlement but they never show.

Bethesda games are always like "Here is this ultra important task that also seems time sensitive.

I'd rather just see them split it up into a handful of substantial yet mostly unrelated side missions that somehow effect how your game ends eventually. Not that this is unique to bethesda games, but it's a crutch that open world games need to get over because having an over arching narrative usually doesn't work very well in that type of game. I think Bethesda does it abnormally poorly though.

I think if Bethesda wanted to make an open-world narrative they could of had the focus of the games main plot be on building up settlements across the wasteland. You know, turn it into more of a civilized place. The Minutemen would be the main part of the story and you would team up with the various factions to get more benefits for your settlers. Like, better tech for production from the Institute, defense from the Brotherhood, the Railroad could....I dunno, the Railroad just suck in this scenario. Still, the idea would be that the focus of the story is on being the general of the Minutemen and establishing a stable future for the Commonwealth, rather than all the current fuckery that doesn't really lead anywhere. But then some people would complain about that because they'd be forced to do more of the settlement stuff

The level 4 merchants have autogenerated faces in each game. I've seen Doc Anderson as a ghoul and as a blonde woman. Gender is set in stone though.

Has anyone else noticed that if you sneak up on an enemy with some (all?) one handed melee weapons, and perform a power attack, your guy does a special animation where he stabs down into the enemy's shoulder? Sometimes when it happens the enemy will be still be on like 80% health but just fall dead, regardless. I think it can only happen on humans.

I'm noticing what I'm pretty sure is a significant combat exploit... if you are fighting something and you have a slow reloading gun like a bolt-action, you can fire a shot then go into VATS the instant you start the reload animation, wait a second or two, then exit VATS and press the fire button the instant you are exiting, wait until the reload animation starts and repeat. It accomplishes two things, 1 is that it seems to result in faster reloading due to the temporal weirdness of VATS, and 2 all your shots land at center mass, even if the enemy is is a dog or bug jumping around you at point blank. T.G. Xarbala posted:I might be wrong but I thought I saw that animation proc on that one gifv of a guy oneshotting a mirelurk queen. I did an actual neck-snap animation on a raider that was an instant kill, that one surprised me.

I was kinda hoping Curie would be an immoral robot who literally embodies the vault tec spirit of loving with people. I mean they give you a single dose worth of cure for a presumably lethal virus to see weather you will take it for yourself or give it to a kid... It makes perfect sense that they're loving with you. Why yes I do have a boner for SHODAN and GlaDOS...

I was in a Vault full of Gunners and the game decided to have a tiny room with one entry point have two skull-level Gunners and a Legendary Gunner who for whatever reason had a Fat Man and no issues using it in a tiny space. I eventually figured out a solution - I threw a HalluciGen grenade in there and let them go to town on each other, then popped a Stealth Boy and snuck in to take out what remained.

The only settlements I've bothered adding resources or defense to to any extent were the first Red Rocket and Sanctuary Hills, the rest I just helped out and said "The Minutemen did it!" and then left the dirt farmers to their dirt. I think that's good enough So has anybody else encountered that one guy (I think his name's Ash or some other three-letter name) who gets into a fight with his (presumably synth) doppelganger? I've ran into him twice, both times in or around Bunker Hill, and it's weird because the first time it happened the one that won the fight was like "that guy stole my face!" except the guy he killed had muscles and bones and bled blood. Then later I stumbled across him again and accidentally aggroed him when I mistook him or his doppelganger for a raider, both of them were out in the middle of nowhere on a deserted street shooting at each other.
