Dunno if it's been mentioned yet or not, but the beta patch that's supposed to fix the stuttering around the financial district A. doesn't and B. breaks the cheat engine remove building limits mod, so yeah. Nice little accidental gently caress you from bethesda there.

From an earlier post about I think grey ditch being able to build on the highway above it. I was thinking about any other settlement and the finch farm can totally do it.

For some reason this settlement gets hosed by either an rear end load of gunners or super mutants a lot. So I've decided to upend the whole settlement to the highway above except for farming.

The dialogue makes nothing clear. It has him trying to resist and the tape ends. It's a bit open-ended as to whether it succeeded or whether aliens caused the nukes to launch; it's not explicit. Hence the loving 'implied.' What it is is loving stupid.

So is there anyway to tell what your current relationship level with a companion is/how close it is to being maxed out?

From what I understand Fallout 3 is a nightmare on modern computers without some serious modding.

So, I helped a cuck be the muscle to stop this guy from banging his wife. Bangin guy convinces us to go crash some wannabe gangster's drug trade. We kill the drug trade jerks, ghoul lady tells us everything about the drug factory, bangin guy kills her. "Well i'll get out of your life forever now big boss is gonna want me dead, so I'll fake my death here". I convinced the cuck to give me 70% of the share, instead he just gives me all the drugs for 500 caps.

I got 60 per unit of every drug imaginable, holy gently caress that's like 3-4k worth of drugs. "You are overencumbered!" gently caress. Went back to diamond city, father of the wannabe gangster gets MAD at me for killing his worthless son, but I convinced him that the big boss killed the son and framed me, then convinced the dad to pay me 600 caps to kill big boss. Finally killed big boss without getting the whole town mad at me, and I get paid while the dad wallows in his own rich filth

what an adventure, and holy poo poo charisma is broken for how good it is

How much money do the stores make? I'm rich as hell from selling water but lugging it to the market is kind of a pain.

Baronjutter posted:

The point of stores isn't to passively make money, it's to act as a quick place with a lot of caps to sell your poo poo to so you don't have to lug it. So instead of lugging your poo poo to a stupid shop with 200 caps, you'll have 4 vendors with 400+ caps each right next to your crafting benches and containers ready to take all your garbage off your hands.
Also how are people getting rich from water? I've got the huge water machine running at the castle but I don't see any water in the inventory. Is there something you need to do to actually get purified water items?

Man, was everyone on drugs in Sanctuary Hills (don't answer that, some terminal said they kinda all were)? Were the protagonist and his wife/husband too? Everything was honky dory in the prologue, happy happy, spin the mobile he loves that, Mr. Handy providing coffee oh what a wonderful sunny day

But as far as I know, there were massive food and fuel shortages through the USA, riots everywhere with lethal weapons used to keep em sort of under control. Then there are the terminals throughout the wasteland, with accidents here, pesky journalists being murdered or getting caught in rocket blasts and worked away, reports of people dying in horrific accidents in every factory building terminal you find.

Hubbie and wife didn't exactly look like a superwealthy family either. Housewife (yes with a law degree she doesn't use) and a retired veteran.

Also apart from the fact that the pre-war fallout universe was absolutely retarded by using fusion/fission generators in absolutely everything, doesn't that mean that the demand for petrol/etc was much lower at that point? You'd think that would kinda stabilise the situation.

The answer to all of this is probably :bethesda: but it's fun to think about.

Just finished the game at around 70 hours, and echoing that, good lord, was that ever anti-climactic and worthless as an ending, finishing with the most hamfisted line so that they could shove in "war... war never changes." Even the last few missions weren't that intense, and I'm pissed I didn't get to fight Liberty Prime, because apparently if I don't do every goddamn thing for the Brotherhood, they are incapable of finishing the work.

One thing that did work for me, though, was deciding, at the very end, what to do with the synth child Shaun. I had decided to go with the Railroad, because I decided that if synths were capable of human emotions and free will, like Danse, that even if they weren't human, they were sentient enough to not to make any difference. And I actually had to stop and run through all of that in my head, and decide that if I really believed all that, then this was basically an orphaned child who would be best off with what was basically his genetic father, and hell, my protagonist started all this off looking to find and nurture a child almost identical to the one in front of me. It felt like an interesting closure to the main quest of finding your "son".

My version was the douchebag bartender got gunned down in the firefight so the cuckolded guy took the money and let me have run of the drug lab. Forget the drat drugs, I was more interested in how many hot plates it had.

The game should have been set just 5 years or so after the bombs fell. So many things about the game world would make more sense.

I recently hit level 44, so I've been trying to collect a few hacked robots at one of my settlements. As people may have noticed, hacked robots have a slight malfunction in that they'll gladly murder all your settlers, brotherhood patrols, and basically anyone else that isn't you or your companion. So when I hack something, I open up the console and "bat hacksafe" to run this set of commands, which is in HackSafe.txt in my main game folder:

code:

; - HackSafe.txt adds the target to the two factions that your workshop sentry guns are in, and makes them ignore friendly hits (because I'm concerned about aggro when the settlers all cluster around some invader) -
; - Adding target to faction 1c21c (PlayerFaction) -
addfac 1c21c 0
; - Adding target to faction 337f3 (WorkshopNPCFaction) -
addfac 337f3 0
; - Setting target to ignore friendly hits -
setignorefriendlyhits 1
; - Stopping combat for target, in case it's already aggro'd on something -
stopcombat

sifh 1 and stopcombat may be unnecessary, but I'd rather be careful.

I'd prefer to roll this sort of functionality into the action of hacking itself, rather than having to do it manually, but I don't know if that's possible without the FO4 GECK. At least using the console to tweak the IFF of a robot you've just hacked is possibly the most lore-appropriate console use in the game.

(You can also do setplayerteammate 1, which will make it not aggro on stuff, let you command it at a distance, and gives you access to a "trade" dialogue. Also makes it fast travel with you, sometimes inconsistently. Removes the "hack" option when you get near it, though.)

Baron Bifford posted:

A lot of little things would make sense with a shorter time frame.

- Everybody is living in shacks and nobody has gotten around to rebuilding the world (at least pick up a broom, you lazy fucks)
- The ghoul kid in the fridge should have gone insane after 200 years
- Same thing for that gangster ghoul who's been sealed up in his basement since before the War.
- The Vault-Tec rep, now a ghoul, still thinks of himself as a Vault-Tec sales rep despite not working for Vault-Tec for 200 years
- Weathering, rust, and rot should have destroyed almost everything left of the old world after 200 years. Instead the cars are just somewhat rusty, many houses are still standing and not taken over by vegetation, people are wearing pre-War clothes that are only a little dirty and torn, pre-War foodstuffs are still edible, etc.

In short, the world of Fallout 4 resembles a city that has just been freshly bombed.

Fallout is not a realistic setting so the post apocalypse does not work the way it would in real life. Hope this helps.
