henpod posted:Started fallout 4 on ps5, and man, I am overwhelmed by the sheer amount of content. It seems I am almost constantly collecting junk and animal bits, taking them to my base at the gas station, crafting, going back out there, coming back, and so on. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but I easily get distracted by busywork and was wondering how much of that is really necessary. Distress signals, radio signals, etc, are all taking a lot of time. you don't have to build up settlements, and especially if you're not playing on Survival mode. There are some benefits to doing so, but for the most part people who engage with the system do so because they like it for its own sake essentially you can pick a spot, like Sanctuary, and then use its Workshop as an infinitely large and safe storage room, and Fast Travel back to it whenever you want to deposit / withdraw items that you left off if you're not building up settlements, then the need to scoop up every last bit of junk is lessened by quite a bit, since then the main use for it would be to engage with crafting if you're also not crafting either, then you don't even need to do that basically, the game can be played on a spectrum of vacuuming every site dry and building a dragon's hoard of garbage on one end, and a super-lean survivalist mode of "only use what you can carry, nothing gets stored" on the other end, and you're free to engage with it however much you want in either direction

A lot of them are pretty plausible to solo with a decent build as long as you don’t care about hitting the sub-8 minute mark, but this one was pretty far up on the difficult side. Even the legendary perk that absorbs energy damage for health + core recharge occasionally couldn’t hold up to them hitting like a truck and freezing without a group to spread the hurt in my experience.

christ the inventory management part of the game is no joke when you go between invaders, cultists, scorchbeast, and eviction notice events. first time i've maxed out scrip trade, and i keep hitting cap limit from just selling circuits and antiseptic. all in an hour or two of gameplay then a whole rear end two hours to sort my poo poo also not sure where y'all are workbenching but holy hell whitesprings mall, had this dude just drop a ton of plans for PA including quite a few ultracite plans

My main goal in FO76 is to have the prettiest camp of all. Are there particular events better for CAMP plans? Right now, I'm just grinding out the Invasion event for the limited plans.

The Slack Lagoon posted:Yeah I've gone to talk to her times and she just says I should join her for dinner sometime. That's what I'm trying to do, Esme!! Ah, now I remember. They did patch out the requirement for the Ultracite Battery so you don't have to do the dailies to go on Expeditions anymore. When they did that they also, for some reason, changed how the Whitesprings dailies work. Esme, Rucker, Skippy and, maybe Sophie but I'm not sure about her, all get a chance to trigger but only 1 will get their turn for the day.

You get a plan every time you take over a workshop and every time you defend one. If you have the subscription, you can go to a private server and just take ALL the workshops and then run between them doing the defense events.

I bought FallOut New Vegas and 4 on steam sale when both were super cheap, because of the TV series and before that the only Fall Out game I ever played was 3 way back when. I started with New Vegas, and was having a good time despite the jank and occasional crashes. I installed a few of the bug fix mods from Viva New Vegas (I used vortex tho because it just seemed easier) and the first 10 hours or so were fine, other than the occasional crash. Then all of sudden the game locked up, the screen went black, and I had to alt-tab and close out the game in task manager. Ever since then all of my saves refuse to load, and even starting a new game crashes the game. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, deleted all the mods, reinstall without the mods, tried different directories, updated my graphics drivers (I have an AMD 6750xt)....nothing. It's like the game just suddenly out of no where decided it doesn't like my PC. Has anyone else experienced this? Out of frustration I did start up Fall Out 4 though - running vanilla no mods and it seems to run fine. Had to set my screen refresh rate from 144hz to 60hz to get the game to play at 60fps otherwise it was locked at 48pfs for some weird reason. I'm only about two hours in so I can't compare it to New Vegas but it is prettier and the gun combat is much more satisfying so it has that going for it. Also the voice acting isn't bad and it seems the inventory system has been cleaned up a bit.

Using Vortex for a game with mature Mod Organizer 2 support is your first mistake. People hammer away at using MO2 because it doesn’t gently caress your games over. Your second mistake was looking at the bug fixes page on Viva New Vegas and missing the part at the bottom where it says current AMD drivers do not support New Vegas at all and you must install DXVK: https://performance.moddinglinked.com/falloutnv.html

Some op gimmicks favor particular builds or are stacked against certain builds, e.g. the ones that see through stealth or require melee to finish or they all have chameleon (immune to VATS targeting). The ones where they hit super hard/have some bullshit like chill are intended for you to have a stealth build, Initiate Dodge is on the speakers telling you this normally.

I used DXVK and still had the same issue - the AMD drivers did work but it was a previous release, from December. I watched far too many youtube-how-tos in addition to the Viva guide to get the game to work, and even then I didn't install all the mods, just a handful of the bug fixes, because the first time I did this I did use Mod Manager and installed ever recommended mod but experienced instability. In any case, the game was working fine for 10 hours before it just decided not too. Perhaps a Windows update broke it, idk. All I know is, unless there is some easy fix I'm going to have to give up on New Vegas for now because I only get a handful of hours to play games a week and unfortunately can't spend that time trying to get a 10+ year old game to work no matter how good it is.

I actually got two good mutations yesterday - Marsupial and Electrically Charged - while running around a nuke zone. Came back to camp and switched to my crafting loadout, did all my crafting / repairing, then went "Oh I should heal the radiation." My crafting loadout doesn't have Starched Genes  And I guess I'll try some AC expeditions. As long as I don't have to find any drat posion gas tanks. Was going to wait until I had a decent Flame Chainsaw or Cremator for the Overgrown trophy but eh, gotta build up those Legendary stores for the Unyielding armor attempts.

Todays daily op was definitely soloable below 8 min! Too bad 2mm EC drops are so broken you still take an ammo loss with the gauss minigun.

My crafting loadout doesn't have Starched Genes I loved my small camp right across the Grafton railway station. Just take a dip in the deepest part of the poisoned river there to get all the rads/mutations you need. Although it's much more convenient to shop them, either from players or (much more expensive) from the Enclave vendor after you gain entrance Just be wary, the area between the station and the farms across are a spawning ground for big bad things. It was not uncommon to come back to camp, and find the legendary Blue Devil duking it out with Enclave vertibirds right in my vegetable garden  The river is perfect to plop down 5 or so industrial fuckoff water purifiers otoh. sauer kraut fucked around with this message at 19:14 on May 9, 2024 |

I did install all the bug fixes and used mod manager as the guide said and DKVX and lord knows everything else in that guide (and said so in my post) but still experienced instability. I also did a clean install, but it still instant crashes even without all the mods installed, in a clean install, something it probably shouldn't do, but I appreciate the help so you expertly, calmly, and clearly provided. Anyway for anyone else who actually cares, its most likely something with AMD. The game was working fine, maybe I received some Windows update that updated a driver I don't know. But from what I've read AMD users just have far more problems than those with Nvidia cards so I'm giving up and just focusing on FO4.

I went on my first expedition to Atlantic City and there seemed to be nothing to do there? I went to the community center and killed a bunch of the plant monsters but never found out what exactly I was supposed to be doing there. Is there a quest I should be taking before going there or am I just missing where all da quests at?

You can visit The Pitt or AC any time you want - this is different than starting an Expedition there though. You need to physically select Launch Expedition on that screen or whatever the wording is. You need to be a group leader to launch an expedition. If you load in inside a Vertibird, you've done it right.

The first few times doing an expedition can be a little annoying, because a lot of the side missions are things like 'find and hack 4 terminals' or whatever and there are like 10 possible spawn points for them. Eventually you learn the spawn points and it is no big deal, but my first time doing 'Tax Evasion' it took me a long time to finmd the last terminal (it was on the stage). At least in Tax Evasion only the first part of the mission, which is one of three different objectives is timed (beating the timer is a bonus objective).

Raider collectron is in the shop now. It's my second favorite one next to the communist collectron. Oh looks like they are in a bundle together too for 50% off. Both of them are pretty funny and I like having them around my camp. Just FYI you can set your collectron to 'collect' anything you've unlocked and keep whichever one you like the best active (so you can have your raider collectron collecting nuka colas or whatever).
