My ever-expanding wishlist of Fallout 4 mods : 1) More weapons. Fire Axe, Incinerator, Tesla Cannon, etc. 2) Name settlers. 3) Recharge fusion cores. 4) Infinite companion ammo for any weapon I give them. 5) Pitch-black Power armor with glowing red eyes.

Unless you spend the entire game in power armor, they're not that hard to keep a supply of. 4 would be wildly unbalanced if it was any weapon. Just give your companion a fat man and it'd be game over for everything. 5's color scheme sounds dumb as gently caress, but I'd say a custom paint job option with a color wheel would be a definite plus.

Yeah that's never happened to me. I've only seen them switch weapons when they ran out of ammo. Dunno what to tell you! I don't use a follower at all for my ninja. It's too brutal when the rear end in a top hat ruins my stealth run. Toadsmash fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Dec 14, 2015 |

I can't wait until the DLC is announced as being given access to community mods that have to be submitted and approved by Bethesda and have a price tag attached.

Mr Hootington posted:They are just pack mules with side quests to unlock at this point. They're pretty effective combatants with a good melee weapon, when their AI doesn't bug the gently caress out and get them stuck on something or lost. Which is roughly 80% of the time when you're not in an open field. God help you if you want your companion to contribute to a fight indoors.

They got it in their heads to tie stats to paint jobs. That decision still baffles me. I would've vastly preferred they stay a cosmetic choice.

Yeah, good luck hitting the wing enough to cripple it fast enough before it's on you, and even if you do, 9 times out of 10 the rest of the swarm is up your rear end with the loving poison. Bloodbugs are much better. They're tough, but manageable.

That's not my kid. well, putting aside Bethesda's awful attempts at emotional manipulation: Synths are effectively humans. You have then, effectively a human child whose memories are entirely that you are its parent. You don't need to feel personally attached to perhaps see some sort of normative obligation there. Of course this is a Bethesda videogame so I doubt they put more thought into it than ITS SHAUN ITS YOUR KID WHO YOU LOVE

Those memories are manufactured, though. The protagonist being at least a little repulsed by a weird robot clone of his natural child with fake memories who will likely remain a child forever is a totally understandable reaction without them being a sociopath. That doesn't necessarily mean "leave the synth in a bunker to die", but it also doesn't necessarily mean there's an obligation to love them and give them cuddles like the abominable snowman from Looney Tunes.

The only Quincy related quests I've found are Valentine's and one of the Randolph Safehouse steps had me clean it out. Which was irritating since there were three targets to kill including one max ranked assaulttron. I like missions I can just strategically assassinate things. Or like PAM's missions where I can sneak in, open the door, and leave without killing anything. "No, no, I totally secured it P.A.M."

Yeah I hated that. It was easy to say no on my BoS playthrough, because duh, synth. Currently doing a Railroad playthrough and no matter how much I want to say no to the kid I can't because it's pretty much against everything the organization stands for - whether it's my son or not, it's a synth, we we came here with the express purpose of rescuing them. Is there at least an option to dump him off on the Railroad if you do it this way, or is he stuck with you?

So question. If I got the "Legendary On All Difficulties 10x" esp, is there really any need to do Survival? Because for me, I also got some Survival tweaks- namely the one where I do double damage and enemies do TRIPLE damage- and I'm not sure.

Deified Data posted:Yeah I hated that. It was easy to say no on my BoS playthrough, because duh, synth. Next time you go to the HQ you get stuck with him, but you can always just send him to some settlement in the middle of nowhere and pretend you're abandoning him as deathclaw fodder. There really should've been an option to force the Longs to adopt him so they'd finally shut the gently caress up about their stupid dead kid.

If I had begun this character with 8 or 9 int and immediately put 1 point into the fusion core perk, I probably wouldn't have ever run out of cores anyway, but I was milking idiot savant until level 10 or so. FWIW the character I mentioned is now level 20, SPECIAL 12 4 4 5 9 9 8 (in power armor,) I've never taken lockpicking or science or any weapon/armor modding or bonus skills, or stealth. With raw 9 agi I am pretty fuckign stealthy in power armor with my headlamp on though, and regularly get multiple sneak attacks on rooms full of ghouls and poo poo. It seems as though pushing your stats higher in lieu of weapon bonuses actually helps balance things out pretty well, I'm not having too much trouble on very hard, except when I'm stuck trying to kill a skulled sentry bot with a serrated switchblade and a 10mm pistol because I forgot my mines..

Tommy's got several unused sound clips indicating the player could participate in fights for caps, but it's Fallout 4 so  .I can't wait for Bethesda to toss it up as a half-assed paid DLC to pad their way through their Season Pass obligations.

coyo7e posted:How the gently caress does the kid even "know" I'm their parent, or have any attachment to me anyway? I mean Shaun was a loving infant. Your real son imprinted him with those memories, making it all the more hosed up. The whole situation is especially suspect if you're on bad terms with the institute. Like clearly this isn't the synth-Shaun you met earlier - this new one was either made or reprogrammed sometime between meeting Shaun for the first time and blowing him up. I find it weird how judgy everyone is when you decide to leave him behind when the whole scenario reeks of being a trap. Like he's rigged to explode when you warp out of there or something. What other purpose could he possibly serve? coyo7e posted:But why would I have any sort of attachment to a fake kid with fake memories? That was what I was replying to - the post I quoted which said that you would obviously care about a robot kid after tearing apart the wasteland to get back your tiny baby boy. I guess they're counting on you being attached to the idea of Shaun moreso than the real deal. Personally I find the ending very liberating. When there's no one left to tie you to your past you can finally feel free to gently caress around the wasteland like you wanted to do since day one.
