mackintosh posted:Institute armor looks like it's made from PVC tubing and washroom accessories. It's bad. Heavy combat armor isn't all that good either. Makes you look like a plus sized model wrapped in a furnace. Thick poo poo it may be, but at at least it looks like it could stop a bullet. But really the first DLC that hits should just bring more armor variants, power armor or otherwise.

I'm still amazed no one has done a Brotherhood Outcasts paint for the T-45 yet. For some reason I remember that being popular in FO3 (to the point that they reskinned all the other power armor to have that color scheme), yet nothing here. Also, if they do add more power armor types I totally want Ashur's brahmin skull pauldron, god dammit.

re: synth armor i can't help but think that it looks incredibly stupid on purpose- who wouldn't notice stuff like the solo neckbrace looking that dumb? like it's actually done to make the institute's troops look pathetic as possible as to defuse their rep built up in the game as some powerful organization that's super advanced like it was supposed to play into the twist in the last third of the game or something except you start getting it way earlier than that

I have a jukebox playing nice classical music right next to my crafting stations and it hasn't caused a problem. I've found that I have less instances of this miscounting-resources bug if I walk a little out of Sanctuary before using fast-travel. Just out of the buildable area, maybe across the little bridge halfway to the Red Rocket station. I think the game gets confused somehow with fast-travel sometimes. Maybe something with fast-travel and the pre-built TVs and stuff? I have no idea, it's weird and finicky. Walking on foot out of Sanctuary has seemed to help for me, anyway, and I still have my TVs and stuff.

So I'm inching towards 50, is there anything better than (shadowed, ultra-light) combat armor for stealth? (Plus the ballistic weave fatigues + GRRM hat, of course). It feels like I've been wearing it for 40 levels now.

It's funny how in this day and age it's almost like we're walked back in time as far as gaming myths and rumors. Hold "up + B" for a better capture rate on pokemon. Walk out of Sanctuary before quick traveling so the game don't mess up your resources.

So I finished the game and there's one nagging question I haven't found the answer to. Why do Super Mutant suiciders exist? Is it explained anywhere? I'd kind of understand a Child of Atom doing it to spread the glory of Atom, but why are the mutants doing it? They clearly perish in the explosion and if I recall correctly they can't reproduce. Seems like a really weird weapon of choice.

My bos officer uniform and hat are ballistic weave 5 tho so it really doesn't matter at all, even on survival I can facetank most guns now (tho deathclaws still gently caress me up if I fail to notice them)

I feel like I miss out on dialogue this way but hot having people go randomly charging into groups of enemies as I try to slink away to attack again is nice. But seriously, it's like Bethesda programmed the AI to be in your way as much as possible. Hey, you aiming at a Raider? Lemme pop up into your scope to look at you. *BANG* "Oh, I think we're not alone!" Shoot you in the back once, shame on me. Shoot you in the back seven times, either I'm a Chicago police officer or you you just walked into my goddamn line of fire again, Piper.

I think the idea was that it was supposed to be that just like the Fallout world is what people in the 50s imagined the future would be, the "more advanced" institute is based off 60s and 70s scifi. The PVC aspect might be intentional since a lot of modern plastic technologies really expanded during that time and got used to represent "the future!".

Oh God my kid wants to join BOS and wants a kid sized power armor. It's all good kiddo, just give me a few days to get rid of the top brass and we'll bring peace and stability to our new Empire. Also, I'm seeing quite a few post-nuclear synth squads roving near the East Boston Police Station, they assaulted two of my provisioners and killed one of them - which was a surprise, I thought they were essential. mackintosh fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Dec 17, 2015 |

It might have been you that killed them. I stumbled into a crazy battle between a behemoth, ~20 feral ghouls, and a raider with a fat man outside the Super Duper Mart. I join in and start hacking wildly when out of nowhere a provisioner just calmly strolls through in front of my blade. The provisioner ended up being a synth though so it was OK. Are the synth settler/provisioners essential? Your provisioner might have been a filthy synth!

So that's pretty funny. I main Curie, and I solved most of my Piper-esque problems by doing the quest that gets her a synth body. As a result she's bugged out, and will not draw her freakin' laser rifle under any circumstances. It fixes my line of sight issues, since she's always in the thick of things laying into behemoths with her bare hands, but more than once it's also led to my seeing a vague raider silhouette in the distance, pinging it with my murderous rifle of killing everything in one shot, and realizing it was her.

Fonzarelli posted:Nah I'm definitely bugged out, then. Oh well, its not like it would make me any more invincible than my dude currently is. There's like 2 quests you get from PAM. You probably don't remember getting the first one. I don't know what it is; I think it might be semi-random? I think PAM wants you to clear out a location and then set up a XXXXXXX. It might be defenses or a beacon or something, I dunno. Something about setting up a safehouse, probably. When I was first trying to get ballistic fibre I did all of the MILA quests and then a bunch of dead drop ones but those don't count for poo poo (except like 100exp and some caps, maybe?). You have to do the one where you set up a safe house or clear out a safe house or something, then when you talk to PAM she'll talk about Jackpot something or other and give you an RFID chip to a random location. Go clear it out, take their poo poo, come back and after you turn it in Tinker Tom will tell you they found some good poo poo.

Is it just me, or would it be nice to have static upgrades to a settlement? Like, a special tab for pre-made upgrades/additions made specifically for that settlement. For example, an upgrade to the buildings in sanctuary which would seal up the walls and/or the roofs of the old houses, or something which would repair the bridge into it. This would be really helpful for prettying up the settlements without having to finagle so much, and if they don't do this in some settlement dlc, It would be something I hope gets modded in. What does the thread think? Another example using sanctuary could be where the road would be partially restored using concrete to clear it and make it whole, but even specialized versions of preexisting items, like a prefabricated doctor's station, or something. thechosenone fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Dec 17, 2015 |

That's referring to stuff in your workbench used for crafting like purified water and harvested crops, not the "Food" and "Water" stats for each of your settlements (which is what I assumed you were talking about). So if you have a bunch of corn in your workbench it will show up at another linked settlement for you to craft with, but that other settlement will still have 0 Food if you don't plant anything there.

God drat. I walked into that town near the bottom of the map to bring that kid home. I don't think of ever aggroed so many enemies at once. I died like 5 times or something.
