Zombies' Downfall posted:This isn't how perks work, you have to max out the companion's affection to get them. Keep befriending Macready (the fastest way is to go somewhere with a ton of poo poo to steal and save/reload between every theft, since he's into that) and you'll eventually get another quest and probably need to do a little grinding even after that. Joking? It's clearly bugged.

Is there a way to lock an item in your inventory so that if its junk, it doesn't get stored after hitting 'store all'? Really getting tired of having to pull out of the workshop my prewar money and those gold bars bsck into my inventory everytime i go to drop off some goddamn desk fans and tin cans. Also, shouldn't prewar money be worthless? Dont get me wrong, its great in-game for buying cool poo poo, but you're ruining my immersion Bethesda!

Which companions are the most effective in combat? I am fond of MacReady but he can't hit a goddamned thing. Piper's nice to have around but her default gun sucks. Strong just uses melee unless I want to feed him ammo.. Does anybody have a particularly useful default weapon or behavior? MacReady really pisses me off when he posts up against cover in the only doorway, and I can't get past him while I'm getting my rear end shot off by some minigun-toting legendary or some poo poo.

this game is great because it gives you a walking tank AND a bunch of gold bars to sell so you can buy a unique legendary almost pretty much right away

As for locking items there isn't really, but if you rename items to have a blank space or a period in front of their name a la ".44 Revolver" or ".Combat Armor L Leg" they will shoot to the top of every list so it's hard to miss them, and you don't have to scan through your inventory to find each piece.

Cutie has a pretty good laser weapon as well.

I need to find someone to help her I guess.

Doctor Spaceman posted:Realistically big settlements would be a pain to actually navigate and manage, as would a gameworld in which it takes half an hour to walk from Sanctuary to Red Rocket. Yeah, people say they want more realistic scale, but they don't really. Miles of empty ruins and wilderness with nothing going on in them between actual settlements? No thanks. Imagine if Skyrim had miles and miles of dense forest to get lost in. And the real world is full of buildings with boring repetitive architecture you'd get lost in in a video game and which would make for poor game flow. People learned this 15 years ago when they tried making counter-strike maps based precisely on real locations and found out how much they suck to actually play.

I had a quest to talk to a settler yet every time I fast travelled to where he was he had moved on somewhere else. I eventually fast travelled to a spot ahead of where I thought he was heading and caught up to him.

Nice strawman, but there's a huge difference between "town with 4 houses 100m away from the next one with a barn and a shed" and "ultra realistic city 20km across". I'm pretty sure most people who voice criticism of Bethesda's cramped world want something in between, not the ultra realistic city part where going from one end to another takes an hour by train.

I think the scale in this game is actually the best that Bethesda has ever done, and better than New Vegas even. The combat zone in Boston actually feels like a ruined city, and the illusion only breaks down when you get into the suburbs and wilderness. Even there, it's broken up in a pretty satisfying way, so the smallness isn't that apparent. It's one area that they improved in.

Even if the storyline is weaker that what I expected the actual world is almost the perfect size. I didn't even see the robot run tall ship stuck on the building until the endgame because I hadn't completely explored the city area. There's tonnes of places that are actually unique with little things that work well without overstaying, like the HalluciGen building versus Atomics versus whatever else. I would like more areas like it to explore, but if they had just slapped in 10x as many streets with boarded up buildings to walk past it'd just be Skyrim without the lovely mountains.

ok so like a good mod would be one that when you pacify a random candy rear end raider or a monster you can walk it back to a settlement and there is a special piece of furniture that when you order them to interact with it they become a part of the settlement. Monsters turn basically into 'dogs' in that they stick to a settlement and provide some defense and fight raiders and poo poo, raiders and stuff turn into settlers and settle down.

Just had an encounter where I nearly shat my pants (of excitement), an Ancient Behemoth was chasing two Deathclaws, he drew a bolder when they started running away and headshotted one of those assholes, dealing like 40% damage.  Some poster in here saying that the AI throws way too accurate (something about grenades raining down on dicks) wasn't kidding. Those Deathclaws were running at least 20 mph and he headshotted one while they were running over a hill.
