So I'm trying to make an arena in Starlight, in which captured enemies fight to the death, but they keep shooting at my audience of settlers and the settlers shoot back. Anybody know how to keep that from happening? The beta wave emitter only works on animals.chaosapiant posted:This information needs to stop. I play Fallout 3 on Win 8.1 64 bit just fine.

You can also run it in compatibility mode for Vista, that's always worked for me.

I didn't need to do anything special for Windows 8. I just downloaded it on steam on sale a while ago and it ran vanilla just fine for a whole playthrough.

A critical based pistol build seems absurd based on what i've been playing of it so far. You can get Righteous Authority with a minimum of effort and mod it into a pistol, then you can stack the critical boosting weapon mod on top of it's legendary effect and then add in perks. It absolutely destroys, even on Survival. You can also make it a sniper pistol because VATS always hits at full force even with the sniper barrel, so you've got high rate of fire, really long range, great accuracy, high damage, and massive critical boosts all on a gun that takes an incredibly common ammo type. Outside of getting a Lucky plasma pistol or something, you're pretty much set for the entire game with it.

Wait, are laser pistols and laser rifles only differentiated by the mods? They're the same base?

Filthy Monkey posted:Trying the survival beta. Codsworth went down to some mirelurks. I have a little map marker to go and revive him with a stimpack, but I can't seem to interact with him in any way. This was a pain in the rear end for me, as well. If you have Automatron installed, Codsworth can only be healed via a Robot healing thing. The catch is, you probably won't find any of those for awhile, but Codsworth can easily be your first companion.

With the Wasteland Workshop DLC, if I want to make a Gunner and a Raider fight after I release them from their cages, will the "Quitting Time Siren" keep them from shooting me and my settlers and vice-versa? I just want any caged enemies, human or creature, to only be aggro toward other caged enemies.

Hell some of the duct tape has the weave in it already Ballistic weave on everything was the first mod I downloaded and thought "Why isn't this a base feature"? Power armor relay grenade was the second.

If you're messing with the ini files(which didnt fix it for me btw) then you might as well install a mod that makes the gameplay better. Still debateable if the game is playable vanilla, because lmao it's Bethesda's worst game by far. But that's in the realm of opinion.

Having played a lot (almost 200 hours) of Fallout 4 at launch, then dropping it completely, I've picked it back up now the DLCs are out. Currently I'm running around just discovering poo poo on the map, which is really fun because previously I just fast travelled and found things based on quests. However, I've noticed that there are lots more power armour suits about than I remember. It seems like every "major" road has a destroyed military convoy with a power suit in it. Have one of the DLCs (presumably the robot one because they all seem to be guarded by Mr Handy's) added these in?

Even though I have about a dozen suits of power armor, it's always a joy to find one out in the wild. It's like a barn find!

Danith posted:So what's a good survival mode build? My strategy of randomly picking stats and perks doesn't seem to be working that well I did get more strength than I normally would, and picked up the first two strong back perks. Will also open up steady aim once I get the bobblehead, which sounds nice as I am not really a vats build.

if it's really as easy as just editing an .ini file for Fallout 3, and Bethesda hasn't pushed a 23kb patch to change that .ini file so it works on modern systems, it doesn't work out of the box. But it's not that easy, because there's all these other reasons it might not work, too

Gaming is big enough now that if a grandma can't install it, you need to go back to the drawing board. I liked FO3 a lot at the time and still hold fond memories of it. I can say the same about Morrowind of course, and I don't have plans to go back and play either anytime soon for a good reason

I'm looking for more interesting ways of playing the game, now that I've played through a number of times. I did an explosives only playthrough. I did a no-kill playthrough, which was a lot of fun since it's so radically different from anything you normally do. My current ideas are: 1. A kill everything playthrough. Your character is a homicidal maniac who tries to kill everything that moves. Animals, people, synths, bots, turrets, everything. As I understand it, you can't kill the minutemen, which means you could still finish the game through the minutemen quest line.. The primary restriction is: you must kill everything you see immediately, other than the few times you need to let someone live long enough to win over a settlement for the minutemen(otherwise, you'd be trapped in an endless cycle of failing preston garvey quests). This means no buying or selling anything through vendors, as you must kill them. The only quests ever completed will be main story quests, assuming this playstyle doesn't break the game. 2. A cowardly junkie playthrough. VATS does not exist, and you will only fight when on Jet, or psychojet, or buffjet. You'll be in bullet time in every fight. All your money will go to buy drugs and ingredients to make them. Any other ideas?
