Just got to the Memory Den. It's nicely creepy that some of the dialogue implies that Kellogg knows he's dead.

e: Also, "It's All Over But The Crying" playing over the final memory was a nice touch.

I'm having a pretty funny bug: some of my stolen decorative power armor frames spontaneously started generating BoS parts and fusion cores. If I take them and fast travel away, they respawn. I already had infinite money and cores, but still kind of funny.

I just sniped everyone with a 10mm from sneak, since aiming is pixel perfect, even at ridiculous ranges.

Speaking of, the looting is REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLY unforgiving. Like seriously. Maybe W3 spoiled me but jesus you've gotta be dead on to pick poo poo up. Also got entirely too used to running around with witcher senses to spot anything I could loot. lol

I feel like the slowest motherfucker in the world. Probably spent 11-12 hours on this game counting reloads, and I've only followed the main story, done up Sanctuary a tiny bit, and just cleared the Corvega Assembly Plant for Preston. I'm level 10. At least I've put 2 industrial water purifiers in Sanctuary thus far, so hopefully I'll soon be able to quell my hoarder tendencies and get moving.

Can you help me get a sense of how slow I'm actually going? How long do you all think you spent to get that far?

I didnt finish the main story until about 160 hours, but I did as much as I possibly could.

No, I was level 68 or so, I did every faction quest I could as well as every side quest I found, Pretty sure I discovered every area in the game or close to it.

I really want my own radio station. How hard is it to create a mod that lets you use your own audio files? Secondly, I want to make DJ voiceovers for my own station and put it out on Nexus or something. What all would I need to do that? (Assuming I have a professional Microphone already)

I'm the only one who likes the railroad even though Deacon is an unfunny poo poo head

The majority of my faction missions from the start were Railroad. Now though I've been doing BoS poo poo with Danse; I'm waffling between the two for my Ultimate Decision but the allure of the BoS "ultimate weapon" is very strong since I found out about it. I want to see that poo poo in action. I'm wondering if they have access to it if you don't help them? Would be loving insane to go up against it.

I hardly use Deacon, though. Have used Piper/Cait/Nick/dog/Danse moreso. I leave Deacon at home, and I have NO idea where Strong went since I didn't take him up on his offer after I freed him from the tower and haven't seen him anywhere. Other than that, haven't found any other companions.

Outfitting Danse with a tiny bowler hat and huge power armor is fantastic though.

Okay I think there's something wrong with my game. Every time I go into a building there's a constant tapping noise. Endless taptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptap. The first time it happened I just wrote it off as a physics object caught on some prop and had clipping issues, until I went to several other buildings and got the same thing. Anyone else getting this?
Is it just like, coming out of nowhere, or can you locate what's making the noise?
Because I started hearing this weird tapping/rattling noise, like an oldtimey film projector or some clockwork thing, and after a short investigation I realized it was coming from Valentine. The noise went away if I quicksaved and loaded, but would return in a short while.

fake edit: I googled a bit, and here's someone's video of MacCready making the same noise.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBAjdsh3b34
Upon further googling, it's apparently related to armor workbenches; They use a workbench but then the sound of the tools rattling doesn't go away. There are reports of fixing it by ordering them to use an armor workbench again.

Real edit: actually linked the video :downs:

I noticed that on companions weapons with sound (and lighting) effects persist even though they've been holstered, so if you give someone a gamma pistol it'll keep making that crackling sound the gamma pistol makes even though they're not holding it

I not only looted everything in sight, I tracked down every ?, yes, even in Skellige.

Looting in W3 though is easier because Witcher Senses tell you whats lootable and just facing in the general direction loots it. On console anyway. In W2 on PC it's a nightmare.

Are you guys saying it's similar to Yogi Bear? Is there anything official stating that? Because if not I'm pretty sure that's just pareidolia; yao guai is just Chinese for monster and isn't pronounced anything like yogi; the only thing they have in common is some letters.

But hey, if it was intentional, I'm perfectly willing to chalk it up to a terrible joke attempt.

Bethesda seems too hung up on Fallout enemy tradition to realize that rad scorpions in Boston are dumb as hell. They could have used mutated spiders or ants and it would have made sense.

Where the gently caress are the DC ants anyway? Could they not compete with the giant mosquitoes or were the bloatflies gross enough? I'm guessing no rad spiders because every other RPG has giant spiders in spades and all the phobes would just hate the game for making a spider the size of a Mirelurk Queen.
