Dongattack posted:Aw, too bad. Metacritic debacle? That is offcourse completely bullshit: Metacritic is really lovely as an aggregator and no sane person should pay any attention to it. But sadly, the gaming industry - and publishers in particular - does watch it. A lot. I doubt anyone at Obsidian really holds a grudge over that though. Bethesda was not being uniquely lovely there: Bonuses being tied to a metacritic score aren't uncommon. Obsidian's case was just the one time people took notice. Chris Avellone said on twitter that he thinks Bethesda will never hand the Fallout IP over to another dev studio again. I don't think he ever explained why he thinks that though. Could be that Obsidian & Bethesda were in talks and nothing came of it. Who knows.  To get back to your original question: The only word about another Obsidian Fallout is that it's not happening. If you're craving another sweet Obsidian RPG that isn't isometric, there are rumors of an Obsidian developed Vampire the Masquerade game. It's not post-apoc, but still. That is, as far I know those rumors haven't been proven false yet. Dongattack posted:Did NV sell well? Whether that met Betehsda's expectations is another matter, but at least they were happy enough about it to put out a press release about it back in 2010. Edit: FutonForensic posted:One of the most common review complaints about New Vegas at launch was the bugs. Bethesda handled QA. Remember the time that Bethesda released a Skyrim patch that caused dragons to fly backwards? Everyone treated it as a funny joke. And it was certainly funny, but maybe there really ought to have been some question as to how incompetent a QA department has to be to let something like that slip past them.

To be fair, it's not like dragons play a central role in that game.

There is always a chance obsidian will get another go at fallout. Bethesda has spent the last few years branching out into other franchises contracted out to other developers, and I've always felt they've treated fallout as secondary to their elder scrolls games. I mean, zenimax developed ESO notwithstanding, they'll never let another dev touch their main elder scrolls series, but they were willing to farm out new Vegas to obsidian to do as they pleased. And obsidian has been on a huge rebound lately. There is still hope.

It's also not the first time Obsidian got burned over dumb rear end producer contract bullshit. LucasArts did the same thing more or less with the 2nd Knights Of The Old Republic game. I think it will happen eventually, remember Obsidian at the moment is working on several games including the RPG where you play as an evil guy who can stay the course or be even more super evil.

Obsidian is like a nuclear cockroach due to their business style. They aren't owned by a publisher and do freelance work getting paid up front. This let's them survive even if a game they make tanks. Not being bound by publishers is their big strength, so Bethesda or EA could always contract them out again to make new games. (Though not likely EA, as the only star wars game they seem to want to make is battlefront)

Anyone else having massive issues with Maxwell's World? (http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/18949/)? Installed it yesterday, the main file and patch 1.01. First thing I noticed is that he really, really loves invisible walls .. I get to Maxwell's World (via the train station if that makes a difference) , find the "target", and ... nothing. I checked back on the Nexus site and see that now there is a patch 1.02, so I download and install. Go back to my save, and still .. nothing. No quest progression. No one will talk to me. I try to walk out of the park and even the main gates won't open to let me out. Finally had to coc to Red Rocket just to rid myself of the place. I did see that one person's advice was to reload to a save prior to the first battle, but my save before that point is somehow in Nuka World, and that's a little far back in the past for me/my character. Is my only option to uninstall the mod, play for a tick, hard save, and re-install? Content: I do loves me some DLC style mods. Tales from the Commonwealth ranks pretty high up there (http://3dnpc.com/2016/06/28/tales-from-the-commonwealth-v1/), Xander's Aid (http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/17050/) is pretty drat good if you don't mind lots of terminal reading and lots of high end enemies spawning and respawning in exactly the same place. Really nice world space though .. Fusion City: sucks. It just sucks real hard. Sucks blue diseased donkey dicks. Double suck factor for modifying a bit of world space shared by Xander's Aid.

Exploring the area surrounding Nuka World almost made me wish for a nuc.., for a project like Skywind. New Vegas remade in the newish engine. If you sorta squint and it's just before sunset in clear weather, and you have some of the towers far off in the background, it's almost like you're in the Mojave.

Obsidian was doing location research in New Orleans earlier this year and someone recently filed a trademark for Fallout: New Orleans in the EU, though it's likely a prank building on Obsidian's location research. I doubt they would just still call the city "New Orleans" in game, and to be honest a VtM game set largely in New Orleans itself sounds more fun than Fallout in a giant swamp and a post-apocalyptic New Orleans.

So I've been using this Playable Synths mod http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3925/ Which is working well except for a really obnoxious bug. Basically whenever your limb, or the limb of a power armor suit you're in, gets crippled your character gets the blue electric aura like enemy synths do before deaths. Its really annoying and the only solutions seem to be racechanging or sexchanging (which only turns it off until you open the pipboy or go into first person) or entering and exiting power armor (ditto). I've tried a bunch of console commands like dispel magic effects and the like but its super stubborn. The only thing I've found is someone in the comments mentioning they got rid of the effect on being crippled in the Creation Kit. Is that something you can do through FO4edit, or something I'd need the CK for?

counterfeitsaint posted:So I guess Fallout 4 updated without any warning. Again. Make a back up of the current 1.7.22 .exe. Rename the one you've downloaded to Fallout4.exe and you're good. You can play with the 0.2.5 build of F4SE. Restore the 1.7.22 version once F4SE updates, which will happen soon. counterfeitsaint posted:I cannot believe how loving tonedeaf Bethesda is to keep pulling this poo poo over and over again. This is just something you have to accept can happen when you mod a game that's still being supported with patches. poo poo can and probably will break. We're lucky that with how Bethesda's engine works that it's generally only the script extender that needs updating after a patch and not every single individual mod. If you want to complain at something, bitch at Valve. Steam could really use a "install patch when I want"-feature. The Lone Badger posted:Currently they seem to be glasses or mouth slot. Guess I need to brave F4edit. So if the flashlight uses anyone one of those, it should work. If that Construction Power Armour you want to wear unequipes the flashlight, make sure the power armor uses the following: Chest: 41 - [A] Torso Left arm: 42 - [A] L Arm Right arm: 43 - [A] R Arm Left leg: 44 - [A] L Leg Right leg: 45 - [A] R Leg

Raygereio posted:Here's the 1.7.15 executable. Thanks for the link. That's a fair point about steam. It's frustrating because they made mods one of the major selling points of the game since the announcement. In the maybe week I've been playing again the game was patched for some extremely minor thing, then the patch was rolled back and now patched again. I barely get any time to game during the week, and I'm not a fan of spending half of it chasing down executables for some extremely minor poo poo. Would a 24 hour heads up to the script extender guy really be so much to ask since, you know, mods are, according to Bethesda, one of the most important aspects of FO4?

counterfeitsaint posted:Thanks for the link. You could just set the game to "only update when launched" or whatever it is. Starting it with Steam open and only via the F4SE loader won't trigger the update at all. That way you can just play with the "old" F4SE until the update is out or whenever you feel like updating. I've seen people claim that games will still update despite being set to that but I've never had this happen with any game so, well, YMMV.

I've gotten in the habit of just making a copy of Fallout4.exe, then when Steam stealth updates I can manually rollback in about 30 seconds. That would be a neat feature for MO to implement, automatically build a library of all the different versions of Fallout4.exe it encounters and let you manually override which one you use with the vfs system.

Well if you want the game to be easier, just lower the difficulty. Nobody is tying your hands here. Unless you are playing on survival, I don't don't know how difficulty works with that. Also, I'm really pleasantly suprised at how few mods require the script extender. I remember how awkward it was to add new animations to skyrim, it required both a script extender and an entirely seperate program to preemptively inject animations into the code or somthing before you could start the game. Now I'm starting to see mods that add new animations and poses with no external support needed, its crazy. Tombot fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Oct 4, 2016 |

Legendary modification. Smg+bleeding or explosive. Theres also a mod that sets player damage to 1 for hard and up. Though really idk how anyone gets to level 60 and doesnt re-roll, let alone 100.

They do make mods a selling point, but the script extender is a specific one-off exe-editing mod that most mods don't need. Mods does not equal script extender. Also, if you really have such a problem with this, you should be backing up your EXE on your own. You know it's going to happen, so be prepared.

What on earth did you put your perk points into and what weapons are you trying to use? I'm like level 90 on the difficulty just below survival and I can one-shot headshot most raiders with the Old Reliable rifle or a gauss rifle. Even deathclaws are pretty easy to take down once you have all the rifleman perks, all the sneak attack and silencer bonuses, and all the better criticals perks.
