Re: exploration NV vs FO3 I think the big reason that FO3 was better for exploration is that NV made the world feel like a coherent world while FO3 had a bunch of weird disjointed crazy nonsense areas. In NV you could explore but had a general sense of what you'd find. Things mostly fit in the world they created. In FO3 you could find basically any weird rear end thing and they had a ton of just totally crazy stuff to stumble into. Nothing in capital waste made sense or fit together but it was way more a feeling of "anything could be out there" than NV where it was "some thematically appropriate stuff could be out there laid out in a reasonable pattern" where you kinda quickly understood the range of things you might be encountering.

Does anyone have a link to the mod that increases spawn numbers? I'm sure I saw it posted much earlier in the thread but I can't find the page. I'm at level 60 and there's little challenge anymore I'm hoping having more mans to shoot will make things more enjoyable  .

I really don't understand why you can't swap weapon mods out on the fly after you've made them at a workbench. I want to be able to attach and remove my suppressor, scope and such. It's not hard to field strip a weapon if you know how.

His quest is actually part of the BoS main questline so yeah, you have to follow the BoS missions up to a certain point to deal with his issues. You have to rebuild Liberty Prime, then you'll get the order to go see Maxson urgently.

Advice posted:On my second playthrough and I went for pure punchin' - I was having a lot of difficulty early, perhaps because I went 9 STR 9 LCK thinking that the VATS/Crit perks were what would save me. Now I'm thinking I wanted AGI for Action Boy/Girl and Blitz? I ended up cheesing Swan for his fist and that carried me for a bit, but now I got my BOS power armor and I'm wondering if it's worth it to wear the stuff for the dmg resist/awesome aesthetic of being a walking Rock-Em Sock-Em Robot, especially since without the fist equipped I get more rolls for the luck VATS procs, right? Kalaxus posted:I made a Harley Quinn clone, Str 2 Agi 9 Lck 9. She uses a standard sledge, with Blitz and Ninja, I'm sure strict punching would work same way but replace ninja with melee perks. Iron Fist only requires Str 1. I haven't had much luck with melee outside VATS, my character takes nearly a full second to execute a punch/swing after I press attack. Not sure if it's my comp or if its super slow skyrim sword swinging returning.  Slow melee weapons are pretty poor in any case, but especially without enough STR to pack a punch. Get a serrated steak knife instead. Alabaster White posted:NPCs shouldn't be able to take power armor if you remove the core, but maybe these are special cause they're stolen. Perhaps that knight is the one from the airport which is specifically abloe to get back into his armor, coming to retrieve it?

The Pitt was pretty good but it really sucks that you're forced to go through the quests to get the key to get to Ashur to get out. If you're good enough you can murder your way to the door starting with nothing but since the guy with the key is on the other side, you're hosed.

It cost materials to make the standard parts, but you don't get this mod when you build something else. You have to keep wasting screws and adhesive to make the base part to get the other mod back.

If a companion is attached to a faction, you have to get their perk before you destroy that faction and the person hates you. It's complicated.

coyo7e posted:Funny, what I remember of The Pitt seems to be different from the rose-tinted one people keep talking about. In the Pitt I explored I had to find a million iron bars which were hidden in ridiculous places, in order to get the most powerful automatic+scoped+suppressed assault rifle in the game, while I was forced to quicksave+load and inch across a rooftop to keep from falling through the geometry and being unable to complete my quest. I must've had to load that loving spot 30 times because the engine kept getting overloaded by something in the area and then the floor would just randomly stop holding you up while you were inching toward the item you had to grab. Boy, it must've been a real letdown when you finally did it and discovered that said rifle was a lovely inaccurate mess! Though I recall the 'ultimate' reward being a tribal power armor you get at 100 iron bars, and the rifle being something like 80 bars, so even before they fixed that one glitched roof in a patch you should've been able to get every other iron bar but that one? Of course, I never really bother doing any of the 100% completionist poo poo in these games, so maybe that's why I was able to enjoy it. Even then you would think collecting all the audio logs in Zeta would be worse, as it has to be done the very first time through since it locks you out of most of the ship permanently at the end of it.

Bold Robot posted:At what point do I have to commit to a faction? Will the game make it clear? For the BOS and the Institute, it will say "If you do this, the other one will hate you." And that's the point of no return. Except, you're already past the point of no return. Even if you see the pop up and back out, it's already too late. At least with the institute side. I was given a quest to do a thing or inform the brotherhood. Since it tacked on that "inform the brotherhood" that's all I could do at the BOS. I couldn't continue any other quests there until I informed them. For the railroad, it's weird. For the BOS they say "go kill the railroad" and you're instantly hostile and fail all current railroad quests.. For the Institute they say "go kill the railroad" and then it's left up to you. I wasn't made hostile and I could still work with them.. I haven't tried to do the railroad ending because they are stupid and I hate them.

One of the biggest missed opportunities in this game is how so few of the faction related quests yield unique legendary items. Had Tinker Tom sold unique upgrades for the deliverer instead of crap you can just craft yourself or unique sets of ballistic clothing that also had some legendary effects or some poo poo it would have made following through with the faction quests a lot more rewarding. Not to mention just dumb ambient poo poo like people recognizing certain clothing items you're wearing like the Minuteman General outfit or idk what.

It seems weird to use tinker tom in this example, pretty much every faction is devoid of this but tinker tom is unique in having a bunch of stuff. He has the tinker tom special, which is a unique gun (although one with a generic legendary effect) He has ballistic weave which is a whole gameplay mechanic and is one of the only unlocks of new crafting options. He has the weird joke railway 1 damage railway rifle prototype. He also will sell mods for the deliver that unlock over time which is pretty pointless but seems to be unique in the entire game. Like tinker tom specifically seems like the place besthedia added a ton of new systems that pretty much never show up any other place in the game. He is by far the most systems rich merchant in the entire game.

He is the faction vendor which sucks the least but other than the legendary items he has nothing else he carries that can't be crafted by the player, even the ballistic weave thing (which is just about the only faction specific crafting recipe) can't compete with the player's crafted poo poo. I used him as an example cause he constantly goes "Yo dude I have some new toys" and you go over the entirety of his inventory just to see he's selling some mid-tier receiver for the Deliverer, give me something I can't craft myself instead, that's all I'm saying.

I mean it's lose/lose. If the crafting system lets you craft everything why buy anything you can just craft it. If you can buy things you can't craft why not just design a bunch more levels in the crafting system till it lets you build anything anyone else could.

You can buy what he has or you can literally take the same thing to an armor station and make something way better.

^^ Yes that is what I meant but I can see how what I wrote could have been understood the other way around. Owlofcreamcheese posted:I mean it's lose/lose. It really isn't, it can be easily worked around by having unique items with unique effects that can still be upgraded by the player, basically just like all the legendary items in the game work. It's as trivial as giving tinker tom some unique hat that gives you +2 Endurance or some poo poo that has level 4 ballistic weaving by default, it can still be upgraded and thus both systems get showcased and the player enjoys the best of both worlds.

Then why even put 5 entire skill points into crafting if at the end you just buy something better? Specing deeply in crafting seems like it SHOULD give you some reward and not just "lol, wasted points, spend some caps to obsolete everything you could build"

The solution is some good things you can buy and other good things you can make. They are equally good in their own respects but you can't craft one and you can't buy the other. You can either choose or get both or whatever you want. Edit: Like you could make a hat that gives you charisma or something. But you can't make a hat that gives you intelligence. So you could make the charisma one, or you can buy the int one and add ballistic weave to it.
