Or just have junk weigh nothing. I'd rather just see equip burden gone though. I enjoy inventory management to some degree when it's done right, but going through giant lists of stuff isn't fun at all and adds nothing to the game imo.

I'd like some kind of deployable drop bag item that I can place wherever I'm looting, fill with all my junk, and then one of my provisioners will come pick it up and chuck the stuff into my workshop after some reasonable number of hours.

Another thing this highlights is how Bethesda refuse to implement any kind of auto-sort/go-bag functionality into the play housing, when every decent house mod has this and any sane player will use it to bypass hours of brainless item shuffling in between dungeon crawls.

NESguerilla posted:Or just have junk weigh nothing. It wouldn't be as much an issue if there wasn't a focus on hoarding junk for crafting materials (=mods, settlements) but the carry weight/burden mechanism is exactly the same as previous games without really giving you a good way to shuttle all that extra crafting material weight around. Seashell Salesman posted:Another thing this highlights is how Bethesda refuse to implement any kind of auto-sort/go-bag functionality into the play housing, when every decent house mod has this and any sane player will use it to bypass hours of brainless item shuffling in between dungeon crawls. Yeah this is kind of my overall criticism of the game: it's very Bethesda and doesn't do anything to break from the mold of their previous games. The gameplay is exactly the same and you're certainly not playing it for the story, lol. It feels kinda lazy, they have a formula and stick to it and just sort of shrug and assume modders will take care of polish and quality of life stuff. Oblivion : Fallout 3 :: Skyrim : Fallout 4 It's a good game but it doesn't do anything new or exciting, more of the same (and maybe a little better quality). Bethesda seems to not care or be actively hostile toward changing or improving their formula. Pellisworth fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Nov 28, 2015 |

I'd like to see Junk and Building materials split into different tabs too to make it easier to pull junk out and scrap the good stuff since the normal process loses mats (or so I've been told)

Yup. In the old games junk was usually something you picked up by accident or wanted to sell/put in your house. Getting rid of it was no big deal. Now it ties into this secondary part of the game and giving it weight just sucks and gimps your settlement. The drop bag idea is good too, basically anything to make junk less of a burden would be fantastic.

I want a mod that allows you to build a vertibird base of your own, and then use the signal grenades to call it to deliver and take your power armor/be able to dump your junk on it for it to take it back to base/deliver and take companions(or combined with a robco ceritifed mod robots yeaaah) etc. Maybe one day. Having your own Vertibird flyby and just drop your power armor as it goes over would be awesome though, it'd do a lot to actually make me use it when I don't have to go to wherever I dumped it and travel all the way back.

Motherfucker posted:ok so like a good mod would be one that when you pacify a random candy rear end raider or a monster you can walk it back to a settlement and there is a special piece of furniture that when you order them to interact with it they become a part of the settlement. Monsters turn basically into 'dogs' in that they stick to a settlement and provide some defense and fight raiders and poo poo, raiders and stuff turn into settlers and settle down. This but robots. I've been poking around to try to figure out what makes people into your settlers, but haven't figured it out yet.

They bent the whole story around that twist like a pretzel and I kind of love them for it. Edit: my favourite thing about it is, Kellogg didn't even need to be alive for the twist to work- you progress the story by looting his corpse. They could have just had you find his grave or something with no indication of when he died and it would have changed nothing. But they wanted you to speak to him face to face for some reason so, uh, make him immortal 2house2fly fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Nov 28, 2015 |

Raygereio posted:The guy's a cyborg. Maybe he's got some anti-aging enhancement? It's pretty clearly explained in the storyline. The Institute dabbled in cybernetic implants, especially for someone like Kellog who's able to do the bulk of their dirty work. It artificially lengthened his life. When you kill him you need to pick up his cyber-brain (and his cyber arm?) to continue the main story quest with Dr. Amari

So I just started playing on survival mode and I have to say the game isn't that much harder to play from very hard, but harder to listen to!!! Dear god this constant static is irritating the crap out of me!!! Even when I have my radio off it still goes on! Is there any way to get rid of this infernal interference???

I dunno I saw that twist telegraphed in the opening bits when you wake up in the Vault once to see Shaun taken and your wife shot, then you go back to sleep and wake up a second time. It was less of a surprise than making the plot seem a lot more open-ended and less urgent. If Shaun is possibly many years older, he could be any the gently caress where and most any age so hauling rear end looking for him didn't really make much sense to me at the start. The trail's probably pretty cold.

MY ABACUS! posted:Does a weapon's damage scale with the level at which you acquire it? No. It's determined by the base gun type and mods. Your level doesn't directly affect damage at all, you want the rifle, pistol, or automatic perks and Bloody Mess to boost damage. Many ballistic guns can be modified to fire a larger caliber. For example, a .308 rifle can be up-gunned to .50 cal which is a big boost in damage and an excellent sniper weapon. A lot of guns also change from pistol to rifle when you The selection of base gun types is pretty limited, actually. There are just lots of mods and random Legendary modifiers.

Speaking of weapons, it's probably better to think about them in terms of ammunition rather than type since a lot can be switched from pistol to rifle by adding a stock. PISTOL CARTRIDGES .38 pipe pistol/rifle .45 pipe revolver pistol/rifle .45 submachine gun 10mm pistol .44 pistol (mostly) RIFLE CARTRIDGES .308 pipe bolt action rifle/pistol .308 hunting rifle .45 combat rifle 5.56mm assault rifle railway rifle (.50 cal in upgunned hunting rifles for example) SHELLS double-barreled shotgun combat shotgun ENERGY WEAPONS laser pistol/rifle plasma pistol/rifle gamma gun gauss rifle ...and I think that's all the base non-heavy ranged weapons. There really aren't that many, just lots of mods and Legendary "enchants." Pellisworth fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Nov 28, 2015 |

Pellisworth posted:...and I think that's all the base non-heavy weapons. There really aren't that many, just lots of mods and Legendary "enchants." To be honest, it makes a hell of a lot more sense than Fallout 3 handled this issue. Raiders carrying various heavily moddable pieces of poo poo (pipe weaponry) and the occasional combat rifle, combat shotgun, etc is a lot better than them all carrying a few weapons that everyone else carries, minus energy weapons. Even though everyone has mods of a few weapons, it feels like there's a vast assortment and lots of variation. I, as a player of this game,, like that. nosl fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Nov 28, 2015 |
