That would be much nicer than the present all over the place system, on the one hand, charisma helps with speech checks, despite you saying exactly the same thing, but they can be save scummed, on the other hand, no matter how willing you are to jiggle tumblers or randomly poke words, hacking and lockpicking have distinct levels, its a really lazy way of making a game, I'd much prefer to have red herrings in hacking and speech, plus multiple points in lockpicking that turn a little and crunch your hairpin, with the occasional fluke based on luck. Not to mention arbitrarily locking stuff behind levels, My Biggest gripe? no wild wasteland. VVV Dunno, its becoming more and more like the elder robots. while there are a lot of new engine elements I like, there's so much recycled stuff and lazy design choices, its just a little irksome knowing they are relying on mods to improve the game and add depth. Still, I've been playing practically non-stop. staberind fucked around with this message at 12:42 on Dec 21, 2015 |

Lockpicking and Hacking in 3 and NV were basically just a 4 tier system as well, only one that you happened to need to put skill points into instead of perks. Of course, they weren't gated behind levels either, so...

Is there a mod to add back Strength requirements to weapons? I've found nada on the nexus. It feels really wrong being able to use a minigun even halfway accurately outside power armour.

What I want are bows and crossbows. Let me craft arrows and bolts with different abilities. Maybe add a sporting goods store somewhere in Boston with some crazy special crossbow.

I imagine in the early design of the game power generators required gas to keep running, but they scrapped that because of how tedious it probably was to keep the generators filled across settlements. Only reason I can think why the wind power generator is so huge and expensive and provides as much power as a small generator.

I suspect that all of the settlement features were watered down so that it remained completely optional. Once you start putting in some serious town management stuff in it, you basically have to keep going back to your settlements.

The generators rebalance mod is a lifesaver because I'm a  and having generators that just work forever triggered me so all my settlements have a windmill or two powering them instead.vvv those fuckers can't even be assed to lay out a bedroll on their own, like gently caress i'd trust them with flammable liquids Kitfox88 fucked around with this message at 18:09 on Dec 21, 2015 |

Well apparently the animation issue with never lowering my weapon in 3rd person was a glitch. Waited 5 minutes when someone told me weapons auto-lower and nothing. Started a new character to test and it auto-lowers.

The only reason I suggest Expanded Settlement Buildings is because it adds a few parts Homemaker misses and organizes the Wood > Walls categories into subcategories instead of a million walls in one list.

They've already got the system from the TES games and it makes good sense in terms of realism and style. Mad Max, which Fallout copy&pastes the hell out off, had shittons of crossbows everywhere.

Alabaster White posted:I can't wait for the GECK to come out and the ultra-nerds to completely overhaul all the stats and add the classic skills system again. The new perk system is kinda fun but from what I can tell there's no reason to ever roll anything but 6-2-4-6-6-2-2 (You're Special point into Perception) unless you want some very specialized builds. There's always going to be a min maxed build in any system, but I actually feel like 4 has an overall better balance than the previous games. I will agree that I'm disappointed that there aren't more stat and perk checks built in to the dialogue or other interactions. But I don't think that a huge rework of the system itself is necessary.

I think a major problem is that a lot of the perks are just really useless. Like, beyond awful. Who the hell is using Basher? A lot of perks need to be overhauled or flat-out replaced because some are just so much better than others and some are just wasted levels. Gunsmithing levels are all wonky, too. Regardless, I think they really just need to add some more guns, dammit.

I'll ask you guys because I'm not sifting through the main discussion thread and bugfixes are the modding scene's purview anyhow. Is there a console command to move Kent Connolly back to Goodneighbor? He's stuck in the basement of the Hospital. I can still go to him for Silver Shroud upgrades, but he will not return to the Memory Den.

Not sure about the console command but if you just want him to put more defense on the silver shroud outfit you can use armorsmith extended to put ballistic weave on it. Although that will only work to a point if you don't have the armorer perk.

Settlement nerds- I decided to put a room above the north entrance/collapsed wall at The Castle...but I can't think of what to put there. I'm probably going to just make it a bar, but any better ideas? It feels like a glass walled bar on top of Minuteman HQ would really be asking for trouble.

I have spent a little bit of time looking at the Skyrim Creation Kit thing and how they make new rooms and stuff. It makes me very excited for the Fallout4 creation kit indeed. I've played a good number of hours and have been noting down places where I can remove boards and add new interiors.

Agreed, there are so many non enterable places. As it will be my first game mod I don't want to go overboard and make everything opened up. Just ones that look blatant or perhaps a little hidden. I might also try to add sewer systems to each of the main cities. If I get REALLY decent at doing it, and that's a bit if, then I will try to link the sewers too.
