emanresu tnuocca posted:None of it barely makes any difference though if you're sniping with a stealth build cause both will kill mostly anything very quickly. What difficulty are you playing on and do you have Rifleman? I'm not trying to be snarky or whatever, legit question. In my game (survival) I would headshot guys from sneak and it'd do maybe a third to a half of their life, this was with max ninja modifier. I could one shot them with sneak-melee but not any kind of sneak ranged. Well, sorta. From mid-range with the deliverer (no pistol or sandman perks) I could have a better chance at killing something than with a rifle. The first X shots from the deliverer would all count as sneak attack damage so I just slammed the trigger as fast as my fat fingers would allow me and I'd have dead super mutants.

I guess I should tick it up to survivor cause fights are way too easy at the moment. I installed that adjusted encounter zones mod thingy which already made most enemies much higher level so they don't all die in one hit but yeah let's see what goes down in survival.

i scrimped and I saved and I levelled and I picked up the Big Boy and I gave it the Experimental MIRV. And now i have the biggest challenge in the game : Figuring out where I can use this ultra death cannon without murdering myself when I fire it. Pulling the trigger consumes 1 mini-nuke. It fires 12 shots each time I pull the trigger.

I fully modded a .50 bolt pipe rifle, and it does more damage than a fully modded .50 sniper rifle. Is it supposed to work that way? Also, having a Blade Runner esque plot and not having the .223 pistol is a huge bonehead move, wtf Bethesda?

Mega64 posted:Continuing the end-game conversation, Kid Shaun is kinda worthless anyway since after you save his rear end all he does is go, "HEY DAD CAN I HAVE SOME JUNK" and after you get it he's all, "HERE'S SOME STUPID WEAPON MODS I MADE SOMEHOW YOU CAN GO SELL THEM SINCE THEY'RE WORTHLESS TO YOU" without adding anything else interesting. I don't think you can even have a conversation with the guy after you dump his rear end on Mirelurk Island or wherever. Yeah, that's my biggest disappointment tbh. He does have some  lines though, so that kind of makes up for lack of interaction. Still, I'd have loved to have a quest or two, or just to be able to take him exploring with me. I guess Bethesda assumed most of us would leave him behind, because we're psychopaths or something, or they just didn't think it was worth it because they're autistic and don't quite grasp emotions.

khy posted:i scrimped and I saved and I levelled and I picked up the Big Boy and I gave it the Experimental MIRV. My guess would be only in a VERY open area and give it a good arc when you fire so it lands extremely far away. I killed myself with the MIRV in Fallout 3 so many times by not doing those things. I personally would also fire it into the ocean at least once because I feel like that would probably look and sound amazing, but then I do things like that in these games.

I should clarify, there's plenty of places to use it but to use it as intended - as the thunder of god smiting all my enemies - that's harder. I am going to redesign my drive-in base so that the entrance is on the west side instead of the east. That way I can go up to the top of the drive-in screen and fire off MIRV shots from there. Then I will find out how to spawn like 30 deathclaws and sentry bots and see how much destruction I can unleash in a single wave. I have 50 mini-nukes in my inventory. That's 600 shots with my modded big boy.

Or you could have come away thinking that you're a kind, loving person, who can look past this synth being a misguided attempt at Shaun giving you a chance to relive what you've lost and accept him for what he is - a child in need of a home. That's my take on it. gently caress Shaun, it's not this kid's fault for what he is.

I liked that Tommy didn't really want to be the announcer when Cait inevitably got beaten/killed because she was too high. It was a solid interaction for the companion handoff, but the Combat Zone and the racetrack were (as was already said) huuuuuuge missed opportunities. Like, they could have had you send certain bots you hacked to the track. Players love video game slot machines (cf. randomized loot in so many games and the literal slot machines in Borderlands) and having a racetrack minigame would have been fun. Sending settlers you didn't like to fight in the Combat Zone would have been fun too. It would have been fun to come back later and see Marcy Long's record.

So I left Nick behind at the memory den after I finished Dangerous Minds, and now he's nowhere to be found. This has happened before when he needs to be somewhere specific for a mission, but I don't think that would be the case here, are their any specific places I should try? I've been to all my settlements, as well as his office. I'm on PS4, so I can't just use the console to track him down. I miss my PI friend.

Tommy is essential, which could either suggest there might be more to his character, or that Bethesda were lazy and forgot to remove the flag once you were done with Cait's scripted event.

I am totally on board with DLC that allows you to scout and send new talent to the rebooted Combat Zone, and maybe make some caps betting on combatants. Or fighting in there your own drat self.

I've heard sometimes he goes to Piper's office, but that's usually during the Reunions quest. Might be worth a look though. I also remember when he was at the Memory Den with me, he tended to hang out in the front entrance area and was really easy to completely miss just because he was hard to see.

Speaking of gun modification, do any ballistic weapons have parts that increase critical damage? My lucky plasma pistol with the crit receiver is completely bananas with a high luck build, but it would be nice to have a silencer.

I gave all of mine sniper rifles or double barrels for the low rof Not that they ever really got a shot off, they were mostly there to carry poo poo for me until I could afford the lone wanderer perk. Without their clunky asses I could probably reverse pickpocket deathclaws. Speaking of sneaking, anyone know exactly how the calculations work? Is shadowed armor better than no armor at all since weight affects stealth, or does muffled/shadowed give a net positive?

It's really not that much effort to keep them stocked on ammo for a decent gun going into mid/late-game, and giving them a decent gun turns them from a pea shooter turret into a perfectly passable killing machine. Just give them a large enough wad of said ammo that you don't have to worry about it very often. I don't find it that tedious to just notice when they've gone back to using their default and restock them, either. If you're going to the trouble of checking their ammo level manually, you're doing it wrong. Seriously, actually bothering to put gear on your follower does make a big difference and as soon as I did I immediately regretted not doing it a lot sooner. e: Also, don't waste your time giving them an automatic weapon. It's still doable to keep them stocked on ammo, but it's a lot more expensive for minimal benefit. I'm partial to a laser musket or sniper rifle. Their aim isn't bad that way. So, +1 to low ROF weapons. Toadsmash fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Dec 14, 2015 |

Did you go into their inventory and tell them to actually equip the gun you gave them? It's not enough to just trade it to them. They never did that to me.
