I'm sort of getting bored of fallout 4 around the same place as I did last time, just after I got to diamond City. I'm only level ten so I'm still having to avoid lots of fights. Is there anything you recommend I do because it's very good or fun? I'm hoping it gets better later?

Avoid the main quest, go back north and work your way east instead. Just go south to buy ammo.

unpurposed posted:I’m interested in playing fallout 2 - are there any crucial quality of life mods for playing on modern pcs with higher image quality / etc? What platform do you have it on? The GOG version worked perfect for me out of the box, but iirc it also has some third party patches already applied. If you're playing on Steam you'll probably at least want a mod for widescreen support, unless that version's since been patched as well.

I may be very dumb but how do I do power attacks in melee. I've tried holding down attack thinking that will be a power attack but it's the exact same. I've got a pair of brass knuckles for punching ghouls and I'm only throwing right hooks. Also blocking is terrible.

hold down alt oh yeah this also is the grenade button, enjoy e: don't block, use the the doge roll mod (which also uses alt to dodge but you can remap it to spacebar) e: (yes that's the jump key, it only does the dodge when you have a weapon drawn otherwise it jumps) Flesh Forge fucked around with this message at 07:04 on Apr 21, 2024 |

putting melee power attack/gun bash/throw grenade all on the same key is just astounding tbh  I hope they do a joke on this in the show, Lucy is fighting some guy hand to hand with a lead pipe and she pulls out a grenade and drops it at their feet and blows them both up Flesh Forge fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Apr 21, 2024 |

yeah that "one save only" idea is dumb as gently caress, practically every long game I've ever run eventually ran into some crash-on-load save corruption problem and required me to go back to an earlier save, if I hit that problem and lost a 100+ hour run I would just uninstall.

Wasteland 3 is 80% off atm on Steam. It was a bit undercooked when it released but by the time I played it it was in good condition and a very fun experience. (The DLCs are meh, though.) I've said it once and I'll say it again: MS should ask Inxile to make Fallout Tactics 2 with W3's tech.

Crashing and dumb physics deaths are a real concern, but for me the limited save options were essential to the tension of survival. It meant having to worry about what lurked beyond every corner, and taught you to pick your fights. You really do approach the world very differently when you’re no longer effectively immortal.

I am so conflicted about FO76 because underneath all the live service nonsense and compromises as well as baffling tech issues is a decent Fallout game. All the events popping up along with constant season pass progress pop-us take me right out of it and remind me it’s ultimately just going to be never ending treadmill designed to suck money out of my pocket’s. It’s not New Vegas or even 4, but could’ve been a fun single player survival spinoff.

what really cripples FO76 is the bottom tier internet service they run the game servers on, that's why they don't expose latency to the player and why desync is so aggravating and common.

It meant having to worry about what lurked beyond every corner, and taught you to pick your fights. You really do approach the world very differently when you’re no longer effectively immortal. I agree, survival mode makes Fallout 4 a completely different experience. After years of normal runs where you quicksave and kick rear end with little effort, my first survival attempt was such a fun disaster. Everything went awfully wrong from the beginning and I got so anxious about diseases, stronger enemies, nearby insects and rads that my first try never even killed the Concord deathclaw or made it to Diamond City. He just became a simple farmer, living in the northwest of the map. Growing crops in Sanctuary Hills, building a small home with no other human survivors, while fending off attacks with a couple of turrets, Codsworth and whatever limited ammo could be scrounged up from the area. I quit playing when I realised that the food and water situation was barely adequate for surviving inside my little settlement, but he was fated to eventually die from rads because I couldn't get my hand on radaway or reach a doctor. Somehow I turned my character into the average Fallout NPC, a trash farmer with bad special-stats who eats gourds and lives in a shack.

Yeah I'm enjoying the Overseer campaign in it so far, and the game word is gorgeous. I'm still in the mindset that they should just have an offline mode and open it up to a multiplayer-averse audience. I get immersed in the game world, then suddenly I'm taken out of it when I see "fAzE_88" storm by me at level 91 and gently caress up whatever dungeon I'm trying to do on my own. I know there is Fallout 1st but there's no way I'm paying a monthly fee for a singleplayer experience.
