If companion issues got you down, these are two "must have in a load list" mods: More Smarter Companions - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/20613 Amazing Follower Tweaks - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/26976 After using them both, I will never start another game without them.

The best thing to do with companions is to use the conquest mod to make a base in the middle of the ocean and send them all there

This playthrough I decided to follow Professor Goodfeels when you set him to maintenance mode. Good lord that boy can book. Fortunately he stops cold when something aggros him. The super mutant salvage yard south of Boston nearly finished him with the landmines in the road, but we made it to the back door of Hester's. Sadly he isn't actually present inside. Also sadly, rushing to see where he might have gone is an excellent way to get frozen by a fire protectron and exploded by a legendary sentry bot shooting several gas tanks.

I'm not worried about griefing in 76 because I don't care about it and they've gone in depth about punishing griefers but I'm pretty sure Bethesda is blind to the lengths people will go to exploit systems in a mp game. You still get xp for building things- what's to stop me from building a section of fence over and over until I'm level 105?

I'm all about 76 I just think there's going to be a looooooot of exploits and that might actually hurt the game. Bethesda have always had blinders in that particular area and their solutions haven't been good. See: removing levitation from TES completely

Why would they care if you're insane enough to hit max level by building fences over and over? It's a "survival" game set in Fallout, they intend for you to build tons of poo poo.

I think that eventually 76 will be a fine game, but like a lot of premier multiplayer AAA games released as of late, it will be a mega dumpster fire on initial release

In non-Fallout but still Bethesda related news, T. Howard managed to con his way into an Apple event showing off their latest phone so he could plug TES: Blades. God only knows how much that cost but it goes to show how committed they are to branching out and pushing their brand. The presentation was just as uninteresting as you imagine but something in an article afterwards caught my eye: quote:The Elder Scrolls: Blades is coming to iOS and Android this fall. It will be free and is currently available for pre-order on Bethesda's website. For more on what Apple had to share, check out our full coverage below.

I've run in to 2 Legendary ones before I was able to reach the mainframe, and they could both 1 shot me. Oh, and they're invisible too, so by the time I can lock on with VATS, I'm already missing a limb. I tried to set a trap, by dropping a Pulse mine, then a bottlecap mine, and luring one in.

It is a shame that everyone hated that part (due to it being sorta bad and the settlement UI just being godawful) because I was happy to see them trying new things mechanically in a quest and using the settlement system in new ways. That Settlement Ambush Kit should've been a type of quest where you quickly set up turrets and traps in a few minutes with a handful of prefabs and then hold off a wave or two of enemies while an NPC hacks or something.

Because you get a chance at disease anytime you sleep for less than eight hours (so really any time you wanna save real quick before or after building poo poo or modding weapons or what have you) every survival run turns into an extremely sickly vault dweller power napping several times a day, chugging a gallon of water and eating four gourds and a dog steak and setting out again. (survival still rules though)

Always get a little freaked out when I post snarky comments on Chris Avellone's fallout-related tweets and suddenly get like four or five notifications Thankfully they're all from other tweets, but there's always that moment of doubt... Anywho... Never tried survival mode because I do not like having to monitor a dozen extra things besides health, weapon condition, and AP

I always use the mod "sleep or save" since forcing you to sleep is stupid game design that is solely designed to force their disease system on you more regularly. Still have to track down a bed to save, just don't have to sleep in it. Wrr posted:I would've liked it if the survival timers slow down in the settlements. I'm in a safe spot, I wanna wander around and take my time building, not have to keep an eye on my meters and worry about that crap. Horizon's method is a nice middle ground, it just gives you free food every x in game hours you spend in the settlement. It's not enough to maintain equilibrium, but at least you aren't burning resources. Not that standard survival has any shortage of food/water.

I like survival for the fact that it makes the game hard enough for you to actually need to use all the drugs and OP stuff the game is constantly handing you while avoiding the massive damage sponges they normally use as a substitute for difficulty. What I don't like is that the game expects you to follow a normal circadian rhythm but buries that information in an external tutorial and makes time go by super fast. To minimize risk of disease you have to sleep 8 hours every 48 minutes of real time. E: also the game gives you no indication of being tired until you've already waited too long rodbeard fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Sep 13, 2018 |

Bethesda can't release a single player game that isn't riddled with bugs and exploits and they've never done a real MP game let alone one on the scale of 76. There will be griefing. Griefing is arguably the best part of MP games, though. Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Sep 13, 2018 |
