Playing on ps4, the other two dlcs show up and say "installed". Far harbor shows up but doesn't say installed under its icon in the addons menu. Is there something I'm supposed to do to activate it?

I like that they added a 100 strength generator and a powered water pump that doesn't need to be in water. Land based settlements that depended on 20 hand cranked pumps became silly.

If you can get it on sale, get the first one. There's a nice dungeon(just not $10 nice) and making robot companions is decently fun. Second one is utterly skippable.

From what I hear of Far Harbor and the eventual Nuka World pack, would it be safe to say that the Season Pass is mostly skippable? If not recommended on some good discount?

Zephyrine posted:I try to make use of the cars. Blowing them up near the deathclaw to hurt it. But it barely works on Survival because he will leap past them and if he reaches melee range the game cuts straight to the death animation. Yeah. I find the easiest way to kill it is to run through the raiders to trigger it coming up, then bail out of there back to the front of the museum. They'll fight amongst themselves for a bit which usually takes care of the raiders and knocks a decent chunk of health off the deathclaw. Then try to get its attention, position yourself facing down the main street and open fire into its legs as it charges you, trying to catch it in car explosions. You're also in a position where Preston can provide a bit of support fire here. IIRC there's a church nearby too, which you can get to quickly in order to hide if it's obvious that it's going to reach you before keeling over.

I'm liking it so far. And I'm still finding new locations in the base game I never found before.

mystic pimp posted:The season pass was a way better deal before they raised the price. Personally I don't think any of the DLC so far are worth paying full price for. Far Harbor downloading right now so I don't know if it's any good, but more weapons / levels / quests / people to shoot at can't be a bad thing. I got the base game + season pass for 60$ early on, and I must say it's the first time I'm actually glad I preordered because at that price it's fairly good value even if it's not my favourite game and didn't even finish the main quest (I don't know why but I still like Skyrim better. That might change once the big quest/overhaul mods start coming out though.) But right now? Definitely wait for a discounted Legendary edition down the line I'd say...

But it barely works on Survival because he will leap past them and if he reaches melee range the game cuts straight to the death animation. There's really no need to die from the deathclaw. You just trigger him to come out of the ground, then hide in the building near preston and shoot out the windows at him, being ready to run up the stairs if he pops through the door into the room with you. As someone else said, don't kill the raiders. Let them fight it out with the deathclaw to distract him and lower his health. Also, there is a sleeping bag or mattress, I forget which, in one of the houses in concord. When facing the museum, turn left and it's down at the end of the road on the right, in a building on the 2nd floor. You would need to exit the museum before talking to the minutemen to sleep there, though, because once you've talked to them, exiting will of course spawn all the raiders.

Orange Sunshine posted:Also, there is a sleeping bag or mattress, I forget which, in one of the houses in concord. Both, I think. First house you hit coming from the red rocket has a mattress upstairs. The house with the raider corpse with the sniper rifle down the street from the museum has a sleeping bag. So, since installing Far Harbour I've noticed that I'm not getting the upper left corner notifications anymore. Anyone know if that's intentional, a bug, a new feature of survival, xor a mod conflict? I'm referring to the little things like "You are properly hydrated" not showing up.

I am totally into this survival thing now. It took me 30 minutes to get through the super duper mart and my heart was beating like a drum all the way through. When I left I went north in hopes of finding a store to buy supplies. I came on a super mutant patrol with a captured settler. I had to let them pass because I couldn't quick save and make 10 attempts at killing them. Attacking them now would lose me all progress in the duper mart if I died.

I arrived at Trudys store with the intent to convince everyone to resolve things peacefully. Trudy pulled a gun on me and I had to shot her. Codsworth then pushed her son into a corner and dismembered him with a freaking circular saw. And there's no save to load to fix things. Survival is hardcore

I'm not sure if it's correct but I find not holding down the minigun to be much more effective at range, if you fire in bursts it seems more accurate and he likes to pretend he's neo and ineffectually dodge left and right, it can take about a minute for him to get down the street if you keep bursting at him with the minigun and you can take off a lot of his health, and this was on old survival too, new survival makes him a lot less spongy.

QuantaStarFire posted:Not to my knowledge, no. There's never any real explanation for any of the poo poo that they've done. I think the sole exception is there's a holotape in Father's quarters or the boardroom that details how they maybe felt a bit bad about the Broken Mask incident... but only because the synth was sent without authorization rather than there being genuine guilt that it killed a bunch of people. I understood none of it really, nothing the institute does making any sense has been covered numerous times in this thread ("nick valentine cannot be mistaken for a robot and has been accepted into a society but we need to keep murdering people and replacing them with synths, because") but the railroad annoy me too, they're painted as the mortal enemies of the institute (even more than the brotherhood i think it's fair to say) and they think that synths should be treated like ~~real people~~ but they condone totally wiping their minds and implanting brand new ones, essentially killing them, going by their own philosophy. Why not just make the railroad enemies of the institute because they are murdering/abducting people, what's the point of their hard-on for synths?

To play devil's advocate, those synths undergo the mind-wipe voluntarily. There's at least one who chose not to get mind-wiped, and everyone's okay with that. That said, every problem with the story and/or characters can be chalked up to lovely bethesda writing. It would be awesome if we found out that Glory didn't actually choose to remain herself, but was instead forcibly mind-wiped and given a fake memory of choosing not to undergo the procedure. But that would be original and interesting and well... :bethesda:

You inject malware into Liberty Prime and make it kill the Prydwen because the Brotherhood are nazis and want to hinder the institute's progress that they should have already had and and and and ... you're right, this plot is loving bad writing.

Then she will be a junk vendor inside the building and he will be a chem vendor outside of it. Wolfgang is a pretty alright guy who laments having to hurt people. Also I just lost half an hour of progress because Piper can't sneak worth a drat. I was planning to have a companion to make survival easier but you can't just gun your way through central Boston. I would sneak past some super mutants and then when she passed they would hear her. A dog would come running and she would start a gun fight while I was still undetected. This happened three times in a 15 minute period, mutants, raiders, gunners. Every single time.

Another shortcoming of FO4's perk system is that we can now only get lame-o upgrades to pre-existing perks in DLCs, instead of new ones.

If you're going to do companions on Survival, robots are strictly superior due to being able to carry way more stuff and being able to be upgraded to the point where they're shredding entire platoons by themselves with miniguns and cluster bomb launchers. The rest can barely carry around 5 pounds and tend to die a lot. Robots also don't share healing items with you, so you can carry a few Robot Repair kits around and hoard all the Stimpaks for yourself. Loving this DLC so far. It's crashed 3 times now during the initial siege, and one of the Gulpers managed to one-shot kill me through geometry from the ground.

That idea makes no sense because the purpose of the mind-wipe is to forget that you were a synth, thereby making it impossible for other people to figure it out without just killing you and digging out that synth component. Mind-wiping somebody into thinking they didn't get the mind wipe is a lot of work to basically just leave them exactly the same as they were before.

One of my pet peeves that I have had since FO3 is the overabundance of stimpacks. They're everywhere! Don't get me wrong, they've been a savior in survival mode... for selling, not necessarily using. Is there a mod that makes them scarce? I'm thinking at about 10% of their current availability.

I think they missed the boat by not going with skyrim's tree leveling system. Stats are utterly meaningless when you can just put a point into them and there's no level cap. And then with stat bumping clothing everywhere. Cut the bs and just go with a skill tree.

Who's to say that's who she was before though? She calls herself the "poster child of a liberated synth" when she introduces herself to you; maybe the railroad needed just such a poster child for propaganda purposes, but no one was willing to volunteer, and since SOP is to mind-wipe them anyway... Not that it matters, that's obviously not where they went with her character anyway. But it might have added a bit of moral ambiguity to the otherwise good-guy faction.
