Blowing up the BoS seems like such a bad idea I mean it's not like that's all of them you just angered a bunch of crazy zealots with Nukes, better off killing/replacing ALL of them with Synths.

But it's good that at least some people agree that becoming the new Institute Director is a very good idea. The Institute ending is blatantly the best one by far: you have free reign over the most technologically advanced place in the world, with limitless manpower, food, and water, and from a roleplay perspective you finally get to spend some time with Shaun. The BoS is next cause "haha we're exploiting the Commonwealth and decimating our enemies with nuclear power" is about right, and Liberty Prime 2.0 is there for fun. Minutemen third cause it's just "wild card and I guess we should use this nuke setpiece again", and Railroad dead last cause "hey we REALLY WANT YOU TO SEE THIS NUKE SETPIECE even though it flies in the face of everything this faction stands for, and is actually worse for their morals than joining the Institute would be".

Slime Bro Helpdesk posted:I'd like to know how they came up with the list of settlement locations. A couple- like the drive-in, the co-op, and the boat tours locations make sense. They're large, kind of interesting locations that almost make sense as a place to set up a settlement- and feel like the map was detailed in such a way that building there wouldn't be too frustrating. But then you have a ton of places that are basically the size of a matchbox, usually centered around a half-destroyed, half-inaccessible building with no interesting features or reasons anyone would want to live there. Why would you set up a settlement in an alleyway when it's about 1 block from a raider-super mutant warzone and another 2 blocks from the safest settlement in the Commonwealth? Why is a swampy puddle in the middle on nowhere a key spot the Preston thinks is a place people would defend with their lives? Then I saw the abandoned lot where you can actually build.

I have several settlements with massive amounts of undefended water, I've had like 3 attacks the entire game and I'm level 51. None of those attacks were at any settlement I had ever actually put stuff in.

I have a lot of trouble fighting super mutants, so I was overjoyed when I killed a legendary skirmisher and found a rifle that did 50% extra damage to them. Except it was a .38 pipe rifle that's blatantly outdamaged by even my 10mm pistol  I also got a legendary rolling pin that does double damage (that damage being 15) on critical hits! Why are these weapons in the game!

I always thought those +dmg against enemy type legendaries were too situational to be useful though, personally.

I wish you could convince Tinker Tom and PAM to come work for you in the Minutemen because the Railroad suuuuuuuuuuuucks. I really dig the original Magnolia songs. I wish they would have included some new production library big band stuff though. Mighty Mighty Man has lost its luster, but I still love that jazzy stuff from Fallout 3 and Old World Blues. I'm not sure why they dragged out all the vocal stuff from Galaxy News Radio but dumped all the big band music.

The only real noteworthy song I could think of is Sixty Minute Man, a song where a guy is loving a chick for 45 minutes, then ejaculates for the last 15 minutes. The actual song is just under three minutes long. But even that gets old, so I shut music off altogether. Nope, gently caress the ambience too, that poo poo got annoying.

Is it ever explained why the Institute doesn't just make their workforce out of the seemingly non/less-sentient Gen 1 synths and bypass the whole ethics problem? Not to mention, what exactly ARE the ethics involving wiping someone's mind? If they aren't aware of the crime that's been committed, is it really a crime as such?

Toadsmash posted:
Once upon a time there was a man who was so bad tempered and cross that he never thought his wife did anything right in the house. One evening, in harvest time, he came home, scolding and swearing, and showing his teeth and making a commotion. "Dear love, don't be so angry. That's a good man," said his wife, "tomorrow let's change jobs. I'll go out to the fields and harvest, and you can mind the house at home." Yes, the husband thought that would do very well. He was quite willing, he said. So early the next morning, his wife took a scythe over her neck, and went out into the razorgrain field and began to harvest. But the man was to mind the house and do the work at home. First of all he wanted to churn the butter. But when he had churned a while, he got thirsty and went down to the cellar to tap a barrel of ale. He had just knocked in the bung and was putting in the tap, when he heard the dog come into the kitchen above. As fast as he could, he ran up the cellar steps, with the tap in his hand, to keep the dog from upsetting the churn. But when he got there he saw that the dog had already knocked the churn over, and was standing there routing and grunting in the cream which was running all over the floor. He got so angry that he quite forgot the ale barrel and ran at the dog as hard as he could. He caught it, too, just as it ran out of doors, and gave it such a powerful kick that he killed it on the spot. Then he remembered he had the tap in his hand. But when he returned to the cellar, all the ale had run out of the barrel. Then he went into the milk-shed and found enough cream left to fill the churn again, and so he began to churn, for they had to have butter for dinner. When he had churned a bit, he remembered that their milk brahmin was still shut up in the barn and hadn't had a bit to eat or a drop to drink all morning, although the sun was high. It occurred to him that it was too far to take her down to the meadow, so he'd just get her up onto the roof, for it was a sod roof, and a fine crop of grass was growing there. The house was close against a steep hill, and he thought if he laid a plank across to the back of the roof he'd easily get the brahmin up. But he couldn't leave the churn, for his little baby was crawling about on the floor. "If I leave it," he thought, "the child will tip it over." So he put the churn on his back, and went out with it. But then he thought he'd better first water the brahmin before he put her onto the roof, so he picked up a bucket to draw water out of the well. But as he stooped over the edge of the well all the cream ran out of the churn over his shoulder and down into the well. Now it was nearly dinner time, and he hadn't even finished the butter yet, so he thought he'd best boil the stew. He filled the pot with water and hung it over the fire. When he had done that, it occurred to him that the brahmin might fall off the roof and break her legs or her neck, so he climbed up onto the house to tie her up. He tied one end of the rope around the brahmin's neck. He slipped the other end down the chimney and tied it around his own leg. Then he had to hurry, for the water was now boiling in the pot, and he still had to chop the tatos. He began to chop away; but while he was hard at it, the brahmin fell off the roof, dragging the man up the chimney by the rope. There he stuck fast. As for the brahmin, she hung halfway down the wall, swinging between heaven and earth, for she could neither get down nor up. Now the wife waited seven lengths and seven breadths for her husband to come and call her home to dinner, but he never came. At last she thought she'd waited long enough, and she went home. But when she arrived home and saw the brahmin hanging there, she ran up and cut the rope with her scythe. When she did this, her husband fell down from within the chimney. When the woman came inside, she found him with his head in the stew pot.

Man the Glowing Sea is visually striking, but they should have made it more of a threat. It should be like Wool, one hole in your suit, and your face is melted. Instead, I noticed that my fusion core was running low, exited the power armor in my tightie whities, replaced the core and hopped back in like it was no thang. (Yes, i went into the Zone in my underpants underneath the power armor. I wanted to save as much weight as possible, and it was Aliens as gently caress, as a bonus)

They'd need to increase the difference between having 0 rad resist and having max rad resist, since one Rad-X is enough to survive a lot of what the Glowing Sea can throw at you. Wouldn't be hard with mods.

Does anyone know if there's anything I can do when I loot a 'power armor frame' from a corpse? It seems like these are supposed to be vendor only items that spawn frames when I buy them but when you vaporize people wearing power armor sometimes they seem to carry those and I don't really know what to do with them?woodenchicken posted:Man the Glowing Sea is visually striking, but they should have made it more of a threat.

Cores get automatically replaced when they run out you know? You can also take enough rad resistance boosters and you can walk there completely naked, I'm also fond of taking an unarmored companion along with me just cause it's hilarious.

Mr Hootington posted:Speaking of fusion cores, can they be recharged? No they just get consumed as you use them. Some junk items can be scrapped if you're in a workshop area and the 'scrap' option is available for them when they're on the ground, not all though. It's very tedious and is generally a waste of time though as they get scrapped automatically with no component loss when they get used for crafting either out of your inventory or out of the workshop.
