I'd like to see the opposite of machine becoming man. One of your human companions gets mutilated by a deathclaw, and you shove their mind inside some form of bot / power armor frame, in a somewhat similar way to the whole Dreadnaught idea in Warhammer 40k.

I don't, and given that I was perhaps a little hasty to cast aspersions on it not being synonymous with the "true" creative process, but regardless it's probably not going to happen in any Bethesda game given that their solution to making Curie human was to turn her into a synth, which is good enough for her, but apparently not good enough for the rest of the game where synths are treated as distinctly not-human.

In fact most people are only afraid of synths because of their association with the Institute. The only people that outright treat synths as not-human are the Brotherhood of Steel, the Institute, and Diamond City (the latter only happening because of fearmongering by the press). In your quest to argue that Curie is problematic because she's yet another pretty girl you've forgotten that the entire Synth plot element is a racism allegory.

They did something silly, which was make something in the game called a 5 pound weight, and then assign it a weight of 5, without having everything else be correctly weighted in relation to the 5 pound weight.

Bethesda!! The problem is that there are concessions to a deeper meaning but it all ultimately leads nowhere because surface-level depth is enough, I guess. Ultimately if they didn't really want to explore the implications of the things they've decided to include they probably shouldn't have included them because it's just frustrating otherwise. Also Segmentation Fault I don't know what your weird obsession with me and supposed sexual proclivities I have is all about but it's not normal. And the racism allegory is only reinforced by the Railroad, and even then it's very, very loving weird if that is the main thrust of the entire thing because it's heavily implied that the Railroad only really cares about synths that display the necessary level of cognition and don't "freak them out". I'm not sure Bethesda, if they wanted to make the synth's liberation analogous to the underground railroad of the slave trade, really thought it through if the main condition for the liberation's care about their plight is their ability to identify with them as humans.

Ddraig posted:Curie literally one has one choice, though, which happens to be an incredibly attractive (by wasteland standards) synth that is also able to perfectly replicate a French accent despite Curie having trouble breathing without thinking about it. look at this loving nerd thinking human curie is attractive. I wanna gently caress that perfect white spheroid. The Curie solution is to put her in a synth body, than pull out her new synth brain and put THAT back into one of those big mountain brain-case robots. yesssss

So I think it doesn't count as a mental illness if I share the needless hours I've spent building a fake settlement in a bad video game, right? Thanks to the various mods suggested in this thread I've gotten Sanctuary off the ground and into something maybe a little memorable? I'll maybe try to do 1-2 other 'really dedicated' settlements in this play-through, but leave a lot of the less inspired locations unpopulated or with 3-4 settlers to farm some crops or gather water. Welcome to Sanctuary- the nicest darn place between Diamond City and the Great Beyond. Great to live in and a swell place to stop off at.  Coming across the Old North Bridge, stop off at our trading post, where traders from around the Commonwealth regularly pitch their wares. Or pop in to the Sanctuary Inn for a drink and good old time!  That's right, we have pool! Soon to come, more pool balls.  Or just stop inside for a drink. Or rent a room and enjoy some comforts after a long journey.  Of course, if you're running low on caps, the house across the way is always open for all types   Don't let the front gates intimidate you- safety first is a Commonwealth motto.  Speaking of safety, we'll soon be finished with Fort Sanctuary- dedicated to protecting us all.  First stop on our tour- the greenhouse- where we grow the freshest vegetables.  Our scientists are hard at work, figuring out new ways to put our planters on tables, and making our carrots not green.  Environmentally friendly power!  A cutting edge clinic  A full service bathhouse- you'll never have to worry about dirty fingernails again!  Showers, and a place to get to know your neighbors  Stop in at our general store, and catch Sanctuary Radio, broadcasting from the roof   You'll find almost anything you could need here. Food, clothes, tools, housewares...even a nuka-cola machine  If you're venturing deeper in to the wastes, stop by Sanctuary Shooters    But maybe consider just staying? Sanctuary- a nice place to raise a family.

Minutemen could do with a couple of the "raid the military base" type missions, get the random minutemen you meet better gear, maybe more patrols the more settlements you have active. Just some reason to either do settlements or side with the minutemen.

FronzelNeekburm posted:I met a man pretending to be Preston Garvey on the road to Tenpines Bluff one day. This is a great random event and I want to see it. Doing minuteman quests should automatically level up their gear. I did see a random group of minutemen in their natural habitat that were level 22 or so and all had laser muskets, so I know they can get higher levels, but they don't seem to scale that well and the situation is even worse for settlers. Come to think of it, minuteman quests should automatically level up the gear of settlers since they're the whole settler-focused faction. I have never changed the gear on any of my settlers because to hell with that hassle. I saw a mod that improved minuteman leveled gear but nothing automatic for settlers.

So if they have to jump to get on a staircase, they shouldn't be able to, or if it's close enough to the skybox. Also, there was a mod posted earlier that lets you create working elevators. I doubt the settlers can path using it, but haven't had a chance to try yet.

Missile turrets, more often than not, fire at things long before I see them. Doesn't help when the game decides to spawn raiders/gunners in my base though
