It works like VA math. The largest percentage is whole, the secondary is a percentage of the remainder, third is another level. So if you have a 50%, a 20% and a 10%, you have 64%, not 80%.

CapnBry posted:As someone who used to get blown up all the time being to close to an exploding car, Fireproof 3 is indispensable. There's so much poo poo that blows up that I don't even notice any more because it does like 10-20% damage. One of the best perks since I saw the Angry Turtle video where he stands right next to an explosion and takes almost no damage. I thought it would be one of those perks where it says 45% but it actually meant like 4.5% after [RPG math]. Turns out it is 45% but like 90% actual. You pretty much start ignoring any of the suicide enemies and barely even notice the exploding ones in that particular DO modifier.

Whats good to save up for with the gold bullion? I noticed there's a double weekend on so I can turn in the 60 tickets I have over the next couple days. I'm usually stealth commando-ing but I have my second SPECIAL slot set as Heavy Guns for Queen fights etc. I did today's OP solo and only missed elder by 30seconds, getting those bash-finishers to connect is frustrating - next time I might try getting a group of enemies down to 0 health and then swapping to a melee weapon so at least I can VATS-hit them. The end boss of the OP (who I usually have problems with) didn't stand up to a few full clips from the TSE Rail, so I'll be keeping that in my pocket for just such occasions.

If you have the rep the grocer and chemist mods for backpack are both good, gauss minigun + mods, gauss shotgun + mods, ammo maker, turbo fertilizer maker. There is the power armor(T65?) too but that seems like a waste what with legendary PA coming out soon.

Additionally, you can skip most plans and aim for the good ones. Buttressed for all limbs and the chest, Deep Pocketed as Misc. Ultra Light Build if you want to store them in your stash and save on space. Any Misc mod on SS can be skipped as you'll probably not want SS armor without a jetpack once you tried it. quote:I did today's OP solo and only missed elder by 30seconds, getting those bash-finishers to connect is frustrating - next time I might try getting a group of enemies down to 0 health and then swapping to a melee weapon so at least I can VATS-hit them. For Resilient whatever, go heavy in PA, get a Vampire Minigun, slap a Shredder mod on it, leave your ammo at home and go hog wild. You'll be constantly healing and the Shredder mod counts as Melee. Spin it up and run everything down.

You buy the crafting plan with bullion, so do that but don't actually start crafting it until legendary PA goes live.

When I'm rolling PA/HW my regular use suit is a set of T-60, which is supposedly one of the weaker suits in terms of damage, but when you're talking about the DR of PA and the inherent flat damage reduction it's really not all that noticeable under most circumstances.

Yeah, it's situational. The additional protection from the higher class PAs is very noticable during the DOs with deadly armor piercing attacks, cave crickets and during Encryptid. That's about it. Basically, if you know the plans and use PA, there is no reason to not be in T-65 although ultimately it should be said that if your build is bad, no type of PA will make it any better or keep you alive for much longer.

I went for the Strangler Heart PA first instead of the T-65, though at the time I thought I had the ultracite carry weight mod plans, but I had Overdrive Servos, not Calibrated Shocks

Zazz Razzamatazz posted:I could have swore that angry turtle showed there’s very little difference between PA armor ratings at high level? Hellcat -- especially combined with the new legendary effect "Overeater" (6% damage reduction when food/water are at max, stacks to 30%) -- will be the most damage soaking PA in the game if rolled correctly and paired with the two legendary perk cards to increase rad/energy resists. By then nothing can even attempt to kill you besides DO Decryption enemies.

So I finished the main story in Fallout 4 (this is the first time I've done so with a Fallout game ). I liked it, but it does feel very clunky, like all Fallout games I guess (people still can't open doors and there's no cutscenes). The graphics are fine but not groundbreaking, it almost looks like a ps3 game. The combat is awkward and all the enemies soak up bullets. It does have some nice locations (the glowing sea, Libertalia, Diamond City and Goodneihbour), interesting characters (it's a shame that Kellog never gets further development) and I actually liked the story.

Plasma suffers from being dual-channel damage instead of all one type or another, so it really drops off vs tougher targets. There's a few exceptions but most enemies in FO76 have the same DR vs ballistic and energy.

You can learn more about the specifics from this video (fast-forwarded to the graph showing the difference between damage types): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3ekxolurho&t=554s It's a pretty big design problem that affects a fundamental part of the game's mechanics, and has gone unresolved since the game's release.

Been playing a bunch of Fallout 4 lately and despite bouncing hard the first couple times, I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit. I legit think a big part of that is how amazing the dog AI is, both on purpose but moreso accidentally. I've had a couple ambushes go pear shaped because I was hiding behind a door waiting to pop out, only for Dogmeat to koolaid through it and start barking like "HEY LOOK ENEMIES". Also whenever I want to trade items with him, he starts gleefully running away because he thinks we're playing  I'm also a big fan of standing behind cover waiting for an enemy to reload, and instead hearing them scream as Dogmeat bites their thigh giving me basically a full minute to waltz over and dome the guy. Just a perfect dog.I wish there were more actually usable items when building a settlement, that's not really a huge deal but it feels like once you've got enough food, the other settlers are just kinda there. Eventually I'm just putting down guard posts because there's nothing better to assign people to. I'm also super grateful for the mod that lets you scrap everything so I can actually clean up a bit. Mind you the first thing I did was accidentally scrap my house in Sanctuary

I finished mine a couple days ago and haven't played since. I guess the only thing really remaining is to grind for bullion or better rolls on legendaries which doesn't interest me very much. I'll probably pick it up again after the next patch.

I just log on, dump scrip fodder and stockpile Legendary Modules. This is how I found out that those things actually weigh something. Not much, mind you, but at .25 per module that sure adds up...

Level 201 (luckily caught a RR just as it started), scoreboard finished and maxed affinity with Foundation and the Raiders. A productive day! Also I'm looking at today's OP 'invisible supermutants' and going Ehhh no not today thanks - with no VATS lock on I would have to do some actual work with my Handmade instead of leaning on the TSE Railway  I also just had a new-ish lvl60 player discover the 120 plans I had in my shop, all manner of stuff for armor, weapons and recipes all priced to go at 25-50 caps a piece - I think he bought about half my stock, the cash register sound certainly grates after five minutes or so constantly going *ding*.

Not the best first choice for a card, but situationally very useful.
