I guess I am? What is your problem with it beyond "they reused a thing they did already" and "I don't like Liberty Prime."

Bethesda learned nothing and did not change anything substantial. It still plays out in the exact same manner.

Liberty Prime stomps his way towards an enemy stronghold spouting ultra-patriotic barks while the player walks behind them. The enemy is utterly helpless before this giant robot, and the player is left to slowly follow in its wake.

The setpiece was boring in Fallout 3, and time has not sweetened it for Fallout 4.

Apologies if this question has been answered already (I'm over 2,000 posts behind in this thread).

I'm having an issue on PC with using a controller and navigating any menus within the Pip Boy, pause menu, or main menu.

The issue is that when scrolling up or down in these menus I end up almost always skipping down or up two items and skipping over any items in between. This prevents me from selecting specific weapons or items since they keep getting skipped over. This happens regardless if I use the dpad or the analog stick to scroll through the list.

Is there any solution to this other than use a mouse and keyboard instead?

Nevermind it looks like it's a bug. By alt tabbing out and going back the problem went away. I'm sure it will come back again as this isn't the first time I've seen it.

Decals look pretty good and I'm happy with the 'ultra' quantity setting.



Emerged from a firefight with Super Mutants and found the corner I was hiding behind absolutely riddled with bullets. Now I just need the mod to make spent brass stick around so I can properly gawk at battlefields after a fight.

Also everything I've seen so far to do with the U.S.S. Constitution is extremely my poo poo.

I love how there are ton of inhabited places with skeletons lying around in them, like literally feet away from where people are sleeping/working. The Drumlin Diner springs to mind. (Ok it's just one skeleton but c'mon it's right there slouched on a chair in the diner. No wonder your son's a chem addict, woman.)

I've had about six or seven legendaries so far, about three radroaches which tend to drop crappier stuff, so I think it's scaled based on what enemy you're fighting.

I don't think so. I got in a fight with two Legendary Super Mutant Butchers with automatic laser rifles and they both dropped pieces of metal and leather armor after I finally killed them after 4 or 5 attempts. :suicide:

I'm really bothered that when you get paid in caps for that first minute men quest that there isn't an option to go, "Why did you just place a big bag of bottle caps in my hand?"

In general, I think that's what's really thrown me off the game. As much as they prescribe narrative to your character, you can't even really express that narrative too much. Like I get the reasons why they didn't do this... but it's just weird that the second John Fallout meets people he isn't just like "WHAT THE gently caress IS HAPPENING?! HAVE YOU SEEN SHAUN?"

I really like the gun crafting mechanic. I love that I was able to sit there and turn my pipe pistol into a full auto scoped bayoneted assault rifle just by adding parts to it. That's cool. I was worried it was just going to be the pipe weapons that were that customizable but you can do similar things to a double barrel shotgun and hunting rifle as well. It's probably the highlight of the game for me.

Double barrel needs a clip loader and a "fire both barrels all the time" modification though.

Also it should simply be an extension of the single barrel shotgun weapon and let you keep adding barrels up to about five.

I want a shotgun version of the laser musket, which by the way is fairly terrifying if the UI glitches out and lets you stick a six charge capacitor on it when you were going for a four charge one even though you don't have any of the perks for the six charge one yet :v: A six charge shot makes a thunderclap when it fires.

This and naming poo poo is the best. I always know what weapons to keep and which ones to scrap because I name everything that I use frequently. It's really satisfying to turn the first lovely hunting rifle you find on a raider into a precision sniper rifle of death through gradual modification. The customization is generally pretty drat satisfying.

To be fair that's just one of three ways it can play out, I think you can also hack Liberty Prime to destroy the Brotherhood or blow it up outright if you side with the institute.
