Companions are essential and can not die. Maybe fast travel a bit and check a few in game days later.

Just for laughs, has anyone tried setting their pip-boy color to 'pitch black' and then see what the light it makes looks like? In sanctuary dogmeat's often hard to find because he's frequently found behind houses because that's where dog houses are. khy fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Dec 20, 2015 |

Don Tacorleone posted:also just figured out that the normal difficulty is too easy, bumped it to hard The game is most fun in the first four or five hours, at which point you begin to break the difficulty in half over your knee. Trust me, you'll be downing things effortlessly on Survival in time. EDIT: On that note, fun fact I discovered today: Institute Coursers spamming their stealth boys does NOT protect them from the lock-on ability of the missile launcher. Gibs ahoy!

This might sound dumb, but does the 'settlers have infinite ammo' extend to heavy weapons as well? I just stumbled over 3 minigun-wielding super mutants and was thinking how hilarious it would be if all my settlement guards had miniguns. Oh, also : Regarding artillery. Is there any bonus to having more than 1 artillery manned? Like, aside from the 8 defense it provides, does having two manned double the duration or amount of shells or anything? khy fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Dec 21, 2015 |

But yeah, everything else is unlimited ammo for NPCs. Keep in mind that for a minigun they have to have at least (10?) rounds, because the gun fires in bursts of 10, instead of just one round.

Why is it difficult to convince my settlers to jump into power armor? I have to defend a settlement, so I figure I'd leave unattended power armor in the middle of the crowd of settlers, and yet they don't jump into it. And if they do, it's my bartender that gets into power armor, only to immediately exit it when fighting is over. I want my town guards to get in power armor dammit!

How exactly does Toughness work in this game? Is it a percentage reduction or just a straight reduction in damage taken (ie: for 1 level in the perk, do you ignore the first 10 points of damage, or 10% of damage taken as in earlier games)? Also does it affect all damage types?

DR is a diminishing returns percentage system. It maxes out well into the thousands. The Toughness perks are not worth it at all unless you just really have trouble with the early game.

GET MY BELT SON posted:thanks! You've got more quests you can do before the point of no return. If you're doing the BOS quests, you'll get one from Maxsom regarding Danse, after you complete that one you'll be asked to talk to Kells. If you talk to Kells it's game over for you and the Railroad so stop before you do so. Institute/Brotherhood wise it's pretty obvious and you'll get a popup. Minutemen you can't screw up and their questline starts after you get yourself booted from the institute (if you choose to do so) so you don't need to worry about them at all until you reach one of the other fairly obvious points of no return.

Finally, just got off from finishig the main quest with the Institute. It felt kinda of weird; I don't know how the other factions do since I'm not about to replay this game, but the Institute's story felt simultaneously like it went on too long and didn't actually finish. It just sort of... ended. Ending with the Institute themselves getting pretty short-changed, too. Seriously, what the gently caress, Bethesda? You make an actually really cool ambiguously-villainous group, make the player the leader of it, let us make some pretty awesome power plays, and then make their entire ending monologue so focused around Shaun that the Institute don't even get mentioned in their own ending? That goes beyond stupid, that's actually kind of insulting, did you think nobody would side with the technocrats for any other reason?

^^ fake edit: yeah. ...yeah. The other endings are more or less the same. I think only the Institute ending actually has an additional 'slide' prior to the main monologue (mourning shaun; i don't remember that in railroad/minutemen), which doesn't reflect at all how your character acts throughout the game? Like, even if you go with SHAUN options the entire way through. I just wanted some more reactivity re: 'oh my god what's happened to this place!!' and only got it in the ending. Come on, game, why not when I'm getting my face smashed by some rotting tweaker 'well that puts a whole new spin on the term 'bloat'' rear end in a top hat aggressively bodychecking me. Not even batting an eye when the deathclaw showed up let me know how to lower my expectations, though, so... moving on. Still catching up with the thread (jesus this thing moves fast), but my one big fear regarding DLC is that one will basically be like a Sims stuff pack for build mode (see: hearthfire), and that they'll bitch out on doing anything else with the setting save maybe two additional storylines. I'd be okay with a stuff pack if it was kind of like Courier's Stash in NV, where it's more or less a background project that's presented as an optional but altogether negligible addition that you can take or leave. I'm not enthralled with the story overall, for reasons that have been stated a thousand times in this thread already, so I won't rehash those criticisms. I was more engaged than I expected to be, though, enough that I actually would like to see more story-based DLC, provided it's not another Mothership Zeta. And, uff, I guess Bethesda deserves some points for trying to pay attention to what made NV's story good, as well as paying attention to criticisms of their writing in the past. It's a step forward. It's such a babystep in terms of falling back on their old habits that it's sometimes hard to notice, but it's definitely there. The companions serve as both good, and bad examples of that. The radiant quests were goddamn obnoxious, though. Five minutes after Blake's wife got kidnapped, it happened again, routing me to the same place. I just paid the ransom. Sidenote: the abuse of the word 'it's' in the subtitles is driving me bonkers. The abundance of weird errors in the subtitles in general drive me bonkers, but I had one too many instances of 'run past random conversation, get map location, ask 'why,'' that they ended up seeming kind of-- sort of?-- necessary. Also, reasons I wish I had video capture running at all times: the Pillars of the Community bit when dude is leading you into the side office, there was a vertibird fight happening. Since I wanted to see more routes the conversation took, I reloaded, and talked to him again. Second time through, dude gets to the 'now this is my favorite part' part of his speech, and boom, out of goddamn nowhere, a flaming vertibird crashes into the building, sending little bits and pieces of my would-be mugger sailing majestically through the air against a backdrop of ash and fire. How Jane Fallout made it out maimed and crippled but not dead is beyond me, but I am ever so glad she did. I have enjoyed this here game.

I thought I'd solved the problem by making it a point to not mention the resolution of that "quest" to Preston, but, welp. I'm starting to think the best tactic is just cheating in the number of caps and paying ransom no matter what. It doesn't seem to hit your reputation, no one ever mentions it again, you just get some passive-aggressive nonsense from the questgiver about how they hope the raiders are true to their word.

Should read "FO4: factions directly affect the progression of the main storyline except it's most of the quests play out the same except the enemies are the other factions" and "FO4: 4 possible endings, depending on the choices you made in the game, except none of them reflect that or mean anything at all except some/all of the other factions are dead"

And without an equivalent to the Companions to give you an actual centralized group to get missions from. I'm not sure if this guy's an idiot or if I just have different complaints to the people he's bitching about, because I haven't had or heard any of these complaints about Fallout 4. Hell, judging by what we just went over the one about the ending is about as wrong as you can get.

Skyrim doesn't have an ending. The credits never roll! Technically they never really roll in Fallout 4, either, you just "decide the fate of the Commonwealth."
