The synth armor reminds me of the white plastic armor (minus jets that clipped into its let's) that came on this old 60s or 70s 12" generic space action figure I got at a garage sale as a kid. I tried to find pictures of one online but failed. Still, makes me think the inspiration for the aesthetics of the Institute come right out of the 60s and 70s. The interiors of the Institute could easily fit into an old Bond movie like Moonraker or Dr. No. I think this explains why the synth armor is so drat ugly. Not my favorite but I'm a big fan of the yellow flight helmet in 4. It looks great with just about everything else and it feels very post apocalypse to run around using an old flight helmet you found in a downed helicopter as armor.

Someone like 5 pages back mentioned that the powder gangers get wiped out by the NCR no matter what and I'd just like to say that as a normal person I put an AP round into every single one of their inventories and it worked out just fine

It always annoyed me in F4 that the road leathers for a guy are full on long-sleeved and for a girl are short-sleeved with a flannel shirt underneath. Also no ballistic weave so only even marginally useful early on

I really like the helmeted cage armor in Fallout 4. Some day I'm going to play a character using that and ballistic weaves. It is just such a shame that since you can weave even basic underclothing it will always be more "optimal" to weave that and wear armor over it than weave some of the "full body armors" like the cage armor or Kellogg's outfit.

I've said it before but with how limited and random the weavable selection is, idk that anyone at Betheada paid much attention to it, and maybe they thought of b weaving more as a small extra perk than something for optimizing your setup

That stuff looks top tier

I had a Legendary enemy drop a rifle that never runs out out of ammo! Only problem is, I don't even have 1 bullet to use yet... It's a 7.62 round I believe. Haven't spotted one yet.

Here I thought I had a cure for bullet sponges. I upgraded it and renamed it Ceaseless Discharge.  Found a new base that I really like, Spectacle Island. Man, I thought the Drive In gave me lots of room to work with! Now I've got an entire island to turn into my own little Wasteland Oasis. First settler that showed up got sent to be my pack mule between settlements, so I can access my stash for proper building.

Berke Negri posted:aren't all pacifist runs extremely unfun Not always. In fallout 1 it can be fun to find ways around combat. Usually there's a solution to basically everything. I can't imagine trying it in like 4 though. The game really very much wants you to kill things and isn't happy about being told no.

You can try to Sanctuary into the only part of the game you play, but the EXP there isn't quite enough to unlock Local Leader 2 so you can't go infinite.

The game really very much wants you to kill things and isn't happy about being told no. To be fair its not like New Vegas is built around it either. All the DLCs have hella combat and while most vanilla quests may have more peaceful resolutions you'd still have to run between every location to avoid killing anything. There's also no actual way to beat the game without killing at least one faction (and yes, opening House's tube to consign him to a slow torturous death by bacterial infection absolutely counts).

yeah fo3 had a lot of set piece encounters where you pretty much need to kill someone to progress (thinking getting past the enclave at the jefferson memorial) fo1&2 all end up requiring you to nuke something killing untold people probably (not to mention the big bads) and horrigan i think pretty much has to be killed by you

DACK FAYDEN posted:Oh my god, this Silver Shroud quest is amazing, my lovely main character has dialogue options that imitate him and everything Yeah I wish there were more side quests fleshed out like that in the base game. What strikes me as odd about Fallout 4 is quite often they'll have set up all these locations and characters and do jack all with them. I think proper Atom Cats, Vault 85 and Combat Zone quest lines would've been cool but I guess they ran out of time/budget before they could come up with anything as substantial as the Silver Shroud. Instead it seems like they made side quests into DLC. Vinylshadow posted:Why wear armor when you can add ballistic weave to a hat and have better defense than power armor? It's too bad you can't strap a jet pack to regular armour/outfits without mods. That's my favourite thing about power armour. Fanatic fucked around with this message at 04:01 on Aug 16, 2018 |

However, I'd argue that given what Frank is (a violent sociopath) and what he represents (the sheer brutality and devastation that the Enclave constantly causally enables and often actively encourages in pursuit of their goals) that being able to talk him down really wouldn't really fit with the story.

You can turn the turrets in the final room on him and also convince the last Enclave squad you run into to help you defeat him so you can escape to the ship. From there you could skip all your turns and just let all the NPCs duke it out until everyone is dead. If you get lucky Horrigan will spend all his time running around the room to attack the turrets, giving the Enclave guys enough time to whittle him down. I've never done it because combat in F1 and F2 is tedious enough as it is, but I suppose there's nothing stopping you from trying.
