Cojawfee posted:I actually thought the pip boy and computer zoom was an accident. Sometimes it just happens to be zoomed in more. Then I realized you can change it. It's a weird feature. I forgot you can do it on terminals. Going to try to see if that zoom makes more sense. flashman posted:It's so weird the UI seems like it was made just for a few different buttons when my keyboard has so many to choose from.. It was designed with controllers in mind. Can't PC players remap in a way that, for example, separates the perspective key from the crafting menu key?

It's obviously designed console -> PC but why the lack of consistency for seemingly similar operations? Why ditch the favorites list from Skyrim? Why not allow the perks sheet to be dragable, or navigable by the wasd keys? It just reeks of a lack of oversight or usability testing

JawKnee posted:not really. It's obviously designed console -> PC but why the lack of consistency for seemingly similar operations? Favorites are still there, just in a different form. Also, if you want to cheese your way into item sorting, you can put <'s and >'s in the name of the item. It won't show in the final name visually, but it will sort in the item list like it's there. I stumbled upon that when I messed up putting html code in the name of my gun. Also, you can use html code in the names of your guns. Only looks like it shows up in the naming screen, though.

I started a new character and took the first rank of scrounger, just to see how much of an impact it had. A random duffle bag in the museum where you meet Preston and the gang yielded forty .50 cal rounds, which is about as much as I'd found in twenty hours on my last character

I have one on a scavving station but I honestly can't even tell if he's doing anything or not since I bring back so many supplies of my own. I know I can assign a couple people to create supply lines, but is there any other use for settlers? Two pages ago.. I have read that spare settlers increase the income generated by the stores you have set up. No idea if it is true.

Apparently there is also Freefall, which is the same as Acrobat, on two legs at Mass Fusion somewhere. Negates all fall damage together, but nothing on their own.

If you're a normal person like me and check every single container you find there's bound to be either money or caps in them. Office buildings with tons of filing cabinets are turned into gold mines. Once you start piling up thousands of bullets you can use those as caps for bartering.

Positronic Spleen posted:I like Martyr (slow-mo at 20% health) and Sprinter (10% faster for all movement types). But I don't know if or how Martyr stacks. But 50% faster movement seems really useful, if you get 5 by some miracle. I have some vague recollection of seeing that the +movement gear doesn't do squat in first person mode (a bug I'd hope, so should get fixed). Is that still the case? Martyr gear would be all but useless to a pure stealth guns build which is what I think this was about. I never/very rarely take damage at all on survival at 53, so I'm all for the utility. e: If people are looking for a great settlement spot, go to the murkwood construction site. You get to fight off mirelurk queen invasions

My main problem with the UI is the same I had with the previous titles, and with Metal Gear too, this "handheld device" gimmick for menus you spend half of the game in. Instead of regular menu screens you're forced to look at blurrey, monochrome, zoomed-out versions with unneeded extra animations. I just can't help but think that the menu system could have looked and felt way better if only they weren't so proud of their ability to root it in "reality". At best you go "huh, this is pretty clever" the first time you open the menus, and then just quietly experience the reduced usability for 60+ hours afterwards.

Try finding him or X6. Otherwise it's probably easier to load an autosave than to mess with the console and queststages.

How do I get the quests to get Ballistic Weave? Any time I talk to PAM she says she's busy. That runner dude hasn't told me PAM wants to talk to me and I know hats the trigger. Is it too early in the game for me to get it? Story wise I just got told to kill the synth courser but haven't done it yet. I've done a bunch of other quests for that group. Not sure if there's a certain chain I'm supposed to do first?

Seashell Salesman posted:If no one ever uses it then it's bad design. I use it. Does that mean it's good design? I was pleased when I found the feature existed as it allowed me to zoom in a little on the UI (something I value due to poor eyesight and it's a case of a little going a long way, this is on a console though, I don't think it would make a difference for me on PC) at the expense of reducing the immersion of my character doing this on a pipboy they're wearing (which I don't care about). I think the UI is a hot mess in general and loads of issues with it, but this aspect of it actually adds value for me.

Stores rule because convenience and legendary vendors. They carry 500-800 caps and sell items with top tier mods, which means you can usually unload all your crap in one place once you're done, and before that it's like a second Diamond City. The passive income is pointless, build water purifiers if you want money. It's actually better for YOUR IMMERSION because water is intrinsically valuable and let's face it, who would even be buying your stores' guns and clothing and whatnot? 90% of the Commonwealth uses worthless pipe weapons, there's no profit in gun running.

Should I be bothering with anything around Diamond City? I got the quest to clear out a castle but the city in general feels a bit too tough for my lvl 10 dude and it seems the straightest route to that place is through a raider base and a super mutant base. e: also, does gunslinger perk apply to energy based handguns?

All the armor piercing mods are for automatic receivers, which supposedly don't work with the rifleman perk that already provides some armor piercing as a massive damage boost. Though if you didn't pick it up I guess AP might be worth it.

It was designed with console controllers in mind and when they mapped it for PC they just did a 1:1 mapping and didn't divide up the keys that handled multiple functions. At least it's not like The Force Unleashed where they didn't bother putting in in mouse support for the menus on PC.

The area immediately around it and a broad, widening path NW of Diamond City, towards Sanctuary is probably level appropriate. If you google "Fallout 4 Heat Map" you can see what I mean. That said, being relatively low level and exploring Boston can still be a lot of fun when you're underleveled and don't mind running away. If you're specced for combat (which I wasn't) you might not even need to do much running away. I was surrounded by supermutants on an overpass, fell off and somehow landed in Goodneighbour, which is probably worth going to. More interesting characters and better quests than Diamond City.

I was annoyed by the control scheme for about 10 minutes until I realized anything that says ENTER can be activated with E instead. It's still funny that you get prompts like "EXIT : ENTER" though.

Robot Hobo posted:In general, I actually appreciate when PC games limit the number of buttons they use, which gamepad-friendly games have to do by default. Simplifying things is good, and I can only keep track of so many keys before I start forgetting what they all do. Some of the shared mappings are pretty logical, like holding the pip-boy button to turn on its flashlight function. So I'm mostly fine with Fallout 4's control scheme, even though I'm using keyboard & mouse to play. I hate that bash and grenade share a button because it's the most temperamental loving thing in the entire game. I very lightly tap alt and sometimes bash as expected, sometimes I throw a grenade point blank! It's a lottery where the prize is not randomly blowing your own legs off.
