What about North Carolina? It would probably get hit pretty hard with multiple military bases (Bragg, Seymour-Johnson, Lejune). Then you could do beaches and mountains.

Isn't junk supposed to be universally accessible when you deposit them at a workshop? I've got junk at the Red Rocket workshop that only seems to be accessible there.

Also, isn't junk supposed to be automatically broken down if you deposit it in a workshop? It's not for me. This is... a little confusing. :confused:

Plus, are you supposed to be wearing multiple pieces of armor (ie right shoulder, left shoulder, etc?) I've just got a Drifter's Outfit on and I don't think I have the Damage Resistance I should in order to not get creamed when facing a group of enemies on Survival difficulty.

It's only universally accessible from any crafting station at that settlement. Junk is only broken down as you need it. There are different pieces of armor for your head, left and right arms, left and right legs, and a base layer. Some of the armor you pick up is a whole body deal and that is indicated by the flashing armor pieces in the pip-boy.

- if you take the CHA 6 perk Local Leader and put all your settlements on a trade network, yes. Not by default.

- again, not instantly. It will scrap things as needed when you build though.

- yes, an outfit with armor pieces over it is intended.

I made it to Diamond City and found a hobo who became my manservant because I gave him a nuka-cola. He now sees to my gas station base and I even gave him Kellog's clothes to wear. Seemed like a nice little final gently caress you to Kellog. Also, the guys name is Sheffield which is a perfect name for a butler type guy.

I'm warming up to the game now that I've gotten kinda obsessed with building up settlements. If you're into that kinda thing this game will definitely have legs.

The workshops act as a storage unit, it automatically breaks down items into components. Leftover components are stored there, as i understand it you can also store any items in workshops.

So far 20 hours in my only real gripe is the same with every fallout, the wimpy weapon volume. The combat and sounds themselves are pretty great, but its sort of annoying that someone can be less than 100 feet away from you firing a rifle and all you hear is the bullet whiz.

I'm still waiting for a game to make gunshots loud and terrifying... I want my gunfights to sound like the bank robbery scene from Heat.

Dallas, Houston and Austin are indistinguishable from any other major US city pretty much. Heck same with Galveston and Corpus too.
Only towns like Waco or smaller give you any indication they're in Texas.

As much as I love the gun system and all the gun parts, the armor system is pretty lame.

I've got a few "outfits" that take up my whole body which I really like the look of, but you can't customize them or improve them and they have bad defense.

Then I have some patchy leather straps or metal cages that make me look like a roving madman and leave me mostly naked, but those apparently give me better armor and radiation resistance than the full jack and gas-mask set I was rocking before? Yeah that makes a ton of sense.

You can put on clothing beneath those layers as long as it is thin enough. You're effectively trading a complete set of armor for layered customizable sets of armor. The former is assured power, the latter is more powerful once you have some legendary gear to attach to it.

When I try to put on armor pieces over my Drifter's Outfit, it just removed the outfit and puts the one piece on, leaving in me in underwear but a shoulder guard on for example.

[e]: oh I think I get it now. Your base armor should only affect the "undershirt" part of the Pip Man while extra armor pieces highlight armor pieces on top of the Pip Man. The Drifter Outfit covers everything so that's why it's getting taken off. :doh: So where am I supposed to find decent armor both on the underwear and outer armor?

They way undertuned the full armor sets though, and you can't upgrade them.

Like you can upgrade a Raider Chestpiece by itself to have more defenses than the Spike Armor even though one is gently caress-off rare and the other is stupid common. Especially when the raider chestpiece can come randomly upgraded. Once you get to Metal armor its a hilariously huge discrepancy.

Like, hmm, I could wear this drifter outfit for +5/+7 normal/energy defense or I could slap on all my metal poo poo for +50/+35 plus some SPECIAL stats and/or 2 more normal DR.

Drifter armor is a full suit. Try stuff like your Vault suit, Flannel+Jeans, Military fatigues etc. That'll be worn under the strapped on armor.

It all shows up on the paper doll in the inventory. The flashing shows what slots it'll take up.

Uh, no. I am from the West Coast and I've lived all over the world, I currently reside in Austin, TX. People's demeanors, acceptable social customs and general southern friendliness are like no where else I've lived outside of rural Asia. Dallas and Houston are quite a bit less friendly, but more friendly than most city folks. Just because people aren't wearing cowboy hats and talking with southern-drawls doesn't mean that Texas isn't a hell of a lot different than the rest of the country. Plus, loving breakfast tacos.

I know, I have a camo undershirt and I have some legendary armor pieces with bonuses.

But even then, this guy wearing a camo t-shirt with a rickity metal cage on top or some leather straps appears to be much much worse suited to the wasteland than when I'm just wearing a duster coat and a nice sealed helmet.

My problem is that I don't have enough options for the piecemeal armor right now, they all look hilariously ramshackle. Meanwhile there's several sets of clothing that look just fine and complete, but they offer basically zero protection.

The full-suit armor needs a major buff to be competitive.

Alternatively just give me a loving transmog system so I can look how I want while still having decent stats. You'd think an armor crafting system would let you do that, but this is very limited.

Eh I've been in plenty of cities that were just as "friendly" as Austin or as "unfriendly" as Dallas. I've met assholes in Austin and cool chill folk in Dallas. It takes all kinds.

And I'm not saying people don't have accents, I mean the people in Boston have accents. But they're pretty minor. The major point was though, you never see cowboys or horses in downtown Austin. People who don't live here sometimes get a weird impression that we all ride horses to work and wear 10-gallon hats on the regular.

I think I just accidentally blasted through the "main" quest line. I sided with The Instution and loving murdered everyone. It was pretty cool, but I thought it ended kind of abruptly. At least I'm assuming that was the end. I got a cinematic, a fuckload of experience, and then it just kind of dumped me back into the game.

Don't know if I want to continue on or start a new character. I did a pistol toting gangster, focused on agility and charisma. I only hit level 28 and definitely didn't do everything I wanted, but I also kind of want to try a high perception/science nerd with rifles.

The Wasteland 7 is the next installment of MGP’s successful Wasteland event series. The Wasteland is an alternate reality event based on the world of the FallOut computer games. We continue to explore the Florida Wasteland, two hundred years after a devastating nuclear war.

The FallOut world is not quite our own. It is an alternate reality that diverged from ours at some point after the second World War. The base concept for the setting is the World of Tomorrow as imagined in the Golden Age of Science Fiction. This means that before the Great War, the FallOut world was more or less what the people of the 1940s and 1950s thought things would be like in 2077—the wonders of Atomic Age technology. The most important event in the FallOut setting was the Great War which happened on October 23, 2077. Our game continues in the central Florida Wasteland of 2285.

Players take the roles of savage raiders, cannibals, members of military orders and simple adventurers and wanderers across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Visit the MGP Forums for event discussion!

Basically it's a low tech airsoft game with actual relics on the field, bottle cap currency, etc. :D

Holy poo poo, no wonder I've been getting creamed. I've been rocking the Drifter's Outfit until level 9 because I saw my outfit getting taken off early in the game trying to put on armor pieces and thought it'd be better to have a full outfit than put on armor pieces piece-meal. I thought it was a zero-sum either-or case of full armor versus armor pieces. :downs:

Yeah I play almost exclusively in 1st so I try to ignore it and right now I'm wearing camo with the metal rollcage (ugh) but even then, when it pops up in cutscenes it bothers the poo poo out of me.

My guy looks really cool in a duster with a sealed helmet, very appropriate to a nuclear fallout wasteland, looks like a straight STALKER. But he's got like 0 armor like that.

But you strip off all those protective clothing, put on a metal cage you stole from a shopping cart and put on some sunglasses and you're way more armored. Its bonkers.

Yeah, it'd be great if you were able to change the visuals of your outfit independent from their stats. Or even just to hide certain pieces of equipment that don't fit. I wanna be a smooth sneaky ninja showing off some rad tattoos, and that doesn't really work if the only decent headgear I've found yet is a huge bulky helmet.
