Internet Kraken posted:You can do this in Fallout 4 as well though? Off the top of my head when Piper starts talking about how great the news and the truth is you can poo poo all over her dad's sacrifice by telling her he died for nothing. You don't have to agree with your companions about everything, at least from what conversations I've gotten so far. Bholder posted:I thought we are talking about companion NPCs talking about the current events, not just simply talking to people in video games.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:you have the breadth of incriminating information when you arrive at the institute and your character doesn't even call out their lovely kid out on it nor can they tell a bunch of people that should know like piper and nick What bothered me the most about meeting your son is how limp-wristed your admonishments of his behavior, few that they are, can be. The organization you are running is engaging in: contract killings, slavery, the systemic undermining of any attempts at self-organization by the land above-ground, and completely pointless involuntary human experimentation, so you can, what, grow more food paste and build bigger reactors and a larger servant caste? and the best your character has to say to them beyond '  You're Lying!' is a later line up on the roof of the CIT ruins about how everything in the world is science to him  yeah that's going to really sway the career myopic undeground institute raised scientist.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:two fallout 3 companions and a number of new vegas companions have "history points" during certain areas and sidequests where they outright talk to you about what happened or what they think of the area, none of this is in fallout 4 Ah, I see. I thought he just meant companion conversations in general. Thought that reminds me of a funny oversight in New Vegas; when I went into Caesar's Camp with Arcade, he pulled me aside and asked if I was going crazy and actually gonna help the Legion. He said this after I had slaughtered every Legion member in Cottonwood and was blowing my way through their entire army. He should of asked if I was crazy enough to think I could actually fight my way too Caesar.

Yardbomb posted:But really I wish he was more of anything but good lord does he begin to just fade into the scenery at a rapid pace. Yeah, to me he's just "sad man in the funny hat who walks around Sanctuary". There's a ghoul lady in my Sanctuary who was wearing cage armor and a yellow rain hat when she showed up, I gave her a job as my weapons merchant and I like her more than I could ever like Preston. She has way more personality to me than Preston, despite the fact that her personality is just "generic ghoul settler lady".

Courier: C'mon Boone, I need you. I mean the war was twenty years ago. Boone: In my mind, there's a war still going on. Courier: Alright, what happened, Boone? What is it that you can't get over? Boone: Bitter Springs, 2260. I was the best cook the NCR ever saw, slinging hash for the Fighting 103rd. As we marched north, our supply lines were getting thin. One day a couple of GIs found a crate, inside were six hundred pounds of prime brahmin steak. At least it once was prime. The use by date was three weeks past, but I was arrogant, I was brash, I thought if I used just the right spices, cooked it long enough... Courier: What happened? Boone: I went too far. I over seasoned it. Men were keeling over all around me. I can still hear the retching, the screaming. I sent sixteen of my own men to the latrines that night. They were just boys. Courier: Boone, you were a boy too. And it was war. It was a crazy time for everyone. Boone: Tell that to Bobby Colby. All that kid wanted to do was go home. Well he went home alright, with a crater in his colon the size of a cutlet. Had to sit him on a cork the eighteen-hour vertibird flight home! Courier: Boone, now listen to me. Two hundred Novac singles need you. This is your chance to make it all right again. Boone: No. No, I'll never cook again! Never! Now get out of my house!! Get out. Go.

So is there ever any reason to take light/ultralight over pocketed/deep-pocketed? I haven't checked them for every piece of armor but it seems like the +5/10 in capacity you get from the pockets are almost always greater than whatever you lose in weight from making the pieces lighter. Also, do the lights on the laser sniper barrel actually mean anything?

It's actually interesting that Bethesda put in multiple factions that you have to choose between since otherwise they are pathologically terrified of the player not being able to do everything. Wanna take your Super Mutant pal to the Brotherhood of Steel's base? No problem! Don't worry about choosing a companion to romance, you can go with all of them! Hate newspapers or support news though, thats one decision that will haunt your character forever.

Yardbomb posted:I was talking to a buddy earlier about assorted Fallout junk, we came to how Ulysses was gonna be a companion and all that in NV at first and how that woulda been pretty cool. I stopped for a minute and asked "You know, have we actually had any black companions in the 3D Fallouts?" before quickly going oh, well alright Preston exists I guess. Then he pointed out that there was also some BoS lady and Jericho maybe? They should have made that black Railroad chick with the minigun a companion, it wouldn't even have been unbalanced because unupgraded miniguns suck rear end in Fallout 4 There was also that jaded merc/scavver guy in the russian bar, he could have been a decent companion because his whole thing was swapping stories about overcoming poo poo luck in the wasteland
