aniviron posted:Was definitely not worth it in FNV. T-51b nets you a whopping 2 extra DT compared to the better medium armors in the game, 25 vs 23 (29 vs 31 with helmets) ; which comes at the expense of weighing more than twice as much as them, slowing your movement speed, and destroying your ability to sneak. A lot of the better medium armors in that game also come with significant bonuses as part of their armor sets instead of the +1STR and AGL penalty that power armor has. Given that power armor is rare, requires a perk that is time-consuming to get, and very expensive to repair, you'd think it would be top-tier poo poo, but no, it's actually probably worse than the alternatives. Been a long time since I played NV and my I never played vanilla after JSawyer mod came out, so I was probably mis-remembering how it was.

Rinkles posted:And again, too drat many suits of armor. It robs them of feeling special. I would have liked to see a little more variety in suits, kinda like protectrons. Like, some suits that were for construction, and heavy lifting. Lots of bonus to strength, minimal protection. Or suits for surgery/operations, with INT and PER bonuses, but nearly no combat value. Or manual labor suits, with high bonuses to carry. Or even different Combat applications - recon suits with low damage thresholds, but were light, fast, and had recon scopes built in. Or heavy weapon suits - slow, but with hard mounted rocket/grenade/missile mounts, and high explosive resist. Maybe even infiltration suits, with built in cloak. (Yeah, I know you can mod the armor the way you like, and some upgrades will effectively do that) As is, the suits are basically just upgrades from one to the next, with each next suit "better". I kind of just want fallout:mechwarrior

PA feels good in FO4. But I sometimes question its utility. It feels like end game badassary and more like a choice, akin to whether you're going to go melee or small guns or longarms or whatever. Because the whole game was basically balanced with that in mind, it gets cut off at the legs somewhat.

turn off the TV posted:I agree that there are way too many PA frames out in the world, but I actually feel like there aren't enough enemies wearing it, unless you decide to fight the Brotherhood of Steel. It would've been pretty cool if some high level Gunners spawned with T-45 and T-50 armor. And funnily enough PA from downed enemies is unrecoverable (w/o being tricky), which begs the question of whether this was for balancing reasons or because they couldn't figure out a way of righting collapsed suits. There are a few Gunners scripted to be in PA, but I don't know about random spawns.

I'm going to assume the latter. If you pickpocket or snipe the power core they hop out. Also funny is that the PA is flagged as owned if you snipe the core out and they hop out.

Yeah, the companions who complain when you steal stuff or pick locks are really annoying. I remember the first time I onboarded Nick, then went up to the Mayor's office. I decided I didn't like the Mayor very much and especially didn't like the way he had so much crap sitting around that he wasn't using at all, so I appropriated some of it to be repurposed into something a bit more valuable and useful to the people of the Commonwealth. Nick made it clear what he thought of this plan. Nick then took a rocket-assisted hammer to the face and was kicked from the group.

I think about 50% of the companion reaction stuff just makes no sense, either because it's super abusable or because it makes them look like idiots. Oh, how dare I pick a lock in an abandoned building. Or maxing out your affinity with some characters by just entering your power armor over and over and over. Or the ridiculousness of the morally dubious characters cheering you on if you murder a cat and getting loving pissed if help people ever. I mean I like that the system exists but like a lot of systems in the game it needed way more thought put into it. Lurdiak fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Apr 29, 2017 |

After touring the institute, my current hope for the ending is 'gas all the humans to force them out of there, blow the relay, let the Synths live underground and figure their own destiny out.' I doubt it'll be that clean, though. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 08:28 on May 1, 2017 |

Played the game properly for the first time in ages today. Near Walden Pond I came across three raiders - two of whom were named and one just being a good old "Raider" - hanging out with a synth named "Reprogrammed". I thought this was cool and wanted to know more, but I can't find any reference to it online whatsoever, leading me to believe it was all just a fever dream. EDIT: It could be from a mod, I dunno. Although I found some things I had never found before, it's still my least favourite Fallout game out of the three I've played. Hedgehog Pie fucked around with this message at 18:31 on May 1, 2017 |

Random spawns no, but there's at least one gunner camp (across the river from Saugus in a salvage lot) with a power armor frame a gunner captain will climb into if alerted. On the subject of things I haven't seen before, there was a half-destroyed house north of Greygarden with a couple scavengers threatening a runaway synth.

MikeJF posted:Will getting kicked out of the institute and being told by the railroad to gently caress off over to the minutemen to blow it up lock me out of the Boston After Dark side quest lines? I believe thata lot of Railroad missions auto-complete and/or fail once you blow up the Institute; for example, all of the Weathervane missions can't be completed, but you get a glut of XP anyway, like over a thousand, that roughly equals having completed them. Blowing up the Institute also finishes/fails Human Error if you haven't finished it yet since Covenant no longer has any Institute to fear. However, after blowing up the Institute, the Railroad gives you a number of quests for killing Raiders with a penchant for hunting down and hurting Synths, and Dr. Carrington gives you repeatable missions to find stranded synths and give them care packages in the middle of dungeons. I do believe that you can't complete Boston After Dark or its follow-up mission with the Institute destroyed, though, yeah.

Okay, so this might be asked all the time, but is there a way to convert a modded save file into an unmodded one on PS4? The Internet seems to hint that, yes, there is, but it's not in line with "gaming ethics" or something. For the record I haven't made myself into a demigod or anything outside of the game's rules, I was just looking for something to do because Fallout 4 is incredibly dull otherwise when you've finished everything. Now it just occurred to me that there are still some neat trophies I could pick up so yeah. I've never used mods before so I didn't really get what it meant by "trophies will be disabled", I thought you could undo it whenever because I'm dumb. Otherwise I'll just start a new game or something, I don't know.

On PC there's a mod that reenables achievements; not sure if it's PS4-compatible or not, but might be worth looking into.

When you use a mod it usually splits your save files and will leave an unmodded save file from the last time you played without mods.

Speaking of which I installed a few more mods, alternate starts, salvage beacons so I can dump stuff off if I want, campfires/new settlements where I want (but because of the game map I can't scrap stuff there), some other settlement stuff, and turned off the survival mod I had because even with that turning some stuff off survival is just tedious. Starting in X-01 armor with a minigun at level 1 next to a bunch of super mutants is a rough start! Fun though. I set a settlement at Breakheart Banks after clearing them out and the X-01 is broken, I have no minigun ammo (and scrapped it to make the settlement), and I'm planning next steps. I'm glad mods are in a good place in FO4 now.

There's a point early on where you can be down with all factions and I'm pretty sure you get all the paints prior to that. So you should be good if you are making a hall of armor. If you need to pick a faction to drop, BoS is the one to do because you can get that paint with creative sniping.
