Wild wasteland mod will feature a new group\gang whatevah, named "The Post-Men", a slightly more fascistic, totalitarian transhumanst movement, although I'm trying to avoid too many tropes. think of them as something like the borg, but without the want to subjigate & absorb everyone, eventually they just want to sublime, encoding themselves into energy and leaving the wasteland behind. However, before they do that they want to experience as much as they can.

CJacobs posted:Yeah, the green boundary lines themselves don't actually define anything, they're just physical objects that represent where the boundary line is. There are a couple places where you can get objects to poke out of the boundaries because the buildable area is sliiightly bigger, but the actual size of the area is all handled internally. I am looking forward to the first mods that make it so you can build wherever you want, as well as the myriad of things that will break horribly when you do so. This is actually super easy to do, unfortunately it causes the cell reset bug at the moment.

Coolguye posted:Skills were clunky and terrible even back in FO1 and 2, but they made more sense there because everything was turn based and you could pretty trivially get an idea of how much was enough. Screwing around at chargen for an hour and dumping everything into unarmed, for example, gave you a good idea of what was going on with it. Utility skills like Speech and Science were slightly different and harder to get a handle on, but it was made somewhat better by the fact that these skills ranged from nice conveniences to completely and utterly pointless. Ranges with guns were easy to judge and the entire thing was pretty straightforward. Yeah, but on the other hand it's still literally the same except your skill increases are level gated, which hey power to you if that's what you like I guess.

It started that way, but then it devolved into a utilitarian hellhole until women rolled in and fixed everything. It may just be my perception, but I see a big correlation between dudes who think that they would thrive in a floating libertopia and dudes angry about not getting laid. The only way I'll invest any time into modding is if I can troll them in the process. My creative process is entirely spite-driven.

Also you absolutely can still ruin yourself with a worthless build if you get only terrible perks (or bad SPECIAL allocation), just like you could before if you put everything into barter or whatever. Better descriptions that more clearly said what exactly each skill would do for you would mostly fix that problem, while there's no similar quick solution to all the problems introduced by the perks in FO4. If you don't get gun nut and one of the weapon damage perks, you are putting yourself at a huge disadvantage, end of story. And you can only get ranks in those perks at certain levels, so it's harder to do interesting things with your build (similar to how it's harder to do interesting things with your character roleplay-wise compared to earlier fallouts).

True, but the game isn't that hard. I play with mods that hugely effect combat damage made by our own The Iron Rose, but that's a two-way street (incoming damage is boosted too). Eventually you will get an explosive something that you can whip out when poo poo hits the fan. I have two explosive combat shotguns, so I gave one to Piper (only do this if you have Inspirational, or else...) Companions are a good source for utility rather than pure damage. I often give my companion a hunting rifle I re-chambered to .38 that has the staggering legendary. Ammo use is low, and the effect is great CC. There is a mod for unlimited companion ammo now (works like settlers) so I can go hog wild and give them full auto weapons if I want. But I'm also level 104, and have taken to just roaming solo since I have all my available companions' perks.

Tbh I just think it's loving dumb they split up small arms the way they did. At least before it would translate across a variety of weapons rather than just specific types. Like gently caress having to dump into rifle, automatic, sniper, etc rather than just getting better in general at guns with specific proficiencies

I had a cassette tape of The Shadow when I was a kid. It is pretty much exactly the same as The Silver Shroud. "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" Also, The Spirit is less low-rent Batman and more very renowned and influential.

I have restarted a bunch of times, at about the third, I installed the perks unleashed mod, because I found the level limits to be really arbitrary. also : Convenient stores [tips fedora, as well as to Iron rose,] lowered sprint ap drain, configurable p.a. fusion core drain, darker nights, fewer minuteman updates, improved map with visible roads, free weapon downgrades, bulk utility recopies, ShaikujinSettlementAttacked, and sustainable jetpack, I'd consider these personal essentials, maybe with a bit more configurability, (most are very configurable). Someone posted an interesting vid earlier with jsawyer explaining narrative and plot structures, its like bethesda watched that and went "nope". Someone pointed out earlier that the B.o.S. and the institute were diametrically opposed, I agree up to a point, however, there is a plot hole thats pretty glaring, the B.o.S. for all their "protecting the future from technology" always use anything at their disposal, tech wise, to gain an edge. making any gripes they have about the institute hypocritical. staberind fucked around with this message at 09:51 on Dec 26, 2015 |

Would it be possible to add the various trailers (like the work site trailers around the quarry/dig sites) in to the settlement construction menu? I feel like plopping down 1-2 of those in some locations would be more fitting than building yet another wooden shack...

I dunno, probably at some point, what would be really nice is to be able to save your creations as prefabs, so you take one of those, add what furniture, stairs, extra bits and trinkets you like, hit save, and plop plop plop.

Personally I cant wait for the g4ck to come out so people can start adding more guns etc to the game. I really like the weapon modding system, and all the ways you can change the visuals of what is already in-game, but it doesn't help when the base aesthetics is awful like (in my opinion) most of the energy weapons. I just want my old cool looking plasma rifle back!

Actually, a list : Metal : corners: remove poo poo that just blocks the way, create matching corners for all the metal walls. walls : half length walls attatched to square, half height as well for balcony, etc. walls attatched to 4x4 floors, same as above, choice of doorways, to suit bulkhead doors and so on. windows. roofs, 1x1 squares matching the 4x4 curved roof, 1x2 somehow. far fewer holes. Institute, glass ceilings, curved glass walls like the metal ones, plus corners, frosted glass, snappable lighting that aligns to vertical and horizontal corners. poo poo, there is a lot of stuff, lots of different brick walls to mix & match, 45 degree slate roof, to repair shagged prefabs. staberind fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Dec 27, 2015 |

I suspect anything you find at the moment that claims to do that would probably be bumping in to the cell reset bug, so be wary about that if you run across something like that. But I also hope a mod comes out that allows you to fix up some of the buildings. It's not like 'patch up your loving roof' technology was lost in the war.

Use Spring Cleaning http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4640/ but only the Alpha version, he came up with a way to scrap all that poo poo without causing hte cell reset bug, also for the stuff he doesnt include for scrapping, he gives in a refid so you can use the console with the disable command to get rid of it, in Sanctuary you can disable just the roof of the houses and build on top of them, its pretty nice.
