mlmp08 posted:Yeah. I like the performance and difference of the DJ compared to older games, but it gets repetitive soooo quickly. Also gently caress you, Butcher Pete, I get the joke, stop being every other loving song. I wonder if maybe that's actually a bug. There was one in New Vegas that caused Big Iron to be played twice as often because the sound file was linked to an entry for another song.

So are the raiders too. They start having some funny conversations as you head south. But they usually die long before you get to hear them. It's a good reason to turn on general subtitles though. Lady Naga posted:There's an entire station dedicated to it buddy! That's what I was listening too. It never seems to come on. Makes me think it's the Big Iron bug all over again.  The classical station is great though. Sneaking around South Boston to get to the Castle so that I could start enforcing law in the area with minuteman squads was tense as hell. Then quickly looped back around to darkly hilarious when the classical station put on this music that jived hilariously with sneaking through a wartorn city.

Honestly between the rape metaphor song, the racist song and the misogynist song maybe they should've been a little more selective with their soundtrack choices.

I love that they added the witchcraft museum and instead of doing anything interesting with it they just put in a Deathclaw encounter that you can cheese by walking through a loving doorway. Also even if you do Confidence Man, Travis still uses the nervous lines for the sponsor messages

The Glowing Sea's a pretty cool location to stomp around in with Power Armor on, they should change the name to Radscorpia though for how many of the loving things I've killed while down there though, seen a few Deathclaws sleeping ontop of rocks in the distance too, that was pretty tense.

 So much dakka. I had been working on improving the gently caress out of a suit of power armor, and upgrading a minigun to go with it. So I decided to take it for a spin on this mission. Get to the mission location and oh, some NPC joins in to help me fight? Sure, cool. Turns out she has a minigun too. The tri-barrel mod for the minigun is loving dissapointing though. It says it lowers the fire rate and increases accuracy, except it really really doesn't. It feels exactly the same speed and ginormous spread.

Digital Osmosis posted:So uh is there any point to the settlement system? Let me be a little more specific: if I put resources/perks/time into settlements, will I gain anything out of it? It seems like I can make new vendors who I'd be able to sell too and of course have more convenient workbenches to drop off my junk, is that it? Do the vendors have anything unique/interesting? Will settlements be able to produce materials I can use for mods? I've only done a few minuteman quests and while I like the idea it seems like just another way to spend resources and gain exp and I'd rather save them up right now for things that will help me kill more and be killed less Settlements can produce oil and adhesive via farms. They also have scavenging stations you can assign your extra dudes too who get you more junk. The shops give you caps. You can also, as you said build shops, but the level 3 shops are the best ones in the game. You don't need more then one settlement though. e: Unless you want more materials / shops, but you'd have to pick it up manually I believe.

Is there a decent guide to managing settler happiness somewhere? The ones I've found are all very basic, like "plant food and build turrets!" I've plastered the walls with kitten pictures and put up lights and furniture in all the rooms, but I can't get happiness over 70, and it randomly drops by 5 every now and then before slowly ticking back up. Right now Sanctuary has like 30 beds, 30 food, 45 water, 50 def, and plenty of power, and the transmitter's on, but recruitment has stalled out at 12 people. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Is this like a Sims thing where they have to see the kitten pictures to get happiness from them? Do I need to wallpaper the mutfruit farmhouse and guard towers with kittens?

Do scope affect how far away you can target something in vats/accuracy in VATS? If not does anything? I'm disappointed at how low my chance to hit with a sniper from a distance is.

Max settlers cap out at 10+ your CHA score, and happiness is only measured by giving them stuff they need to survive. People are really overestimating how robust and interesting the settlement aspects of the game are.

So which factions are incompatible? I'm guessing that the Institute is incompatible with everyone but what about the others? From the BoS rhetoric I'd guess they can't work with the railroad?

Are there any consequence to either letting Mama Murphy die or not? She gave me a line that's helpful and one I'm assuming'll be helpful down the line, but I managed to convince her to stop using chems before the final, not-very-helpful prediction, which I'm told is a difficult check, and I'm not sure how to proceed. Oh, and when the weapon mod station mentions hip-firing, I'm guessing that means not-right-button-held-down stuff, right? Its not all non-vats stuff, is it?

I think they do since they increase the accuracy rating on the gun stat screen. With the Sniper perk that increases VATS headshot chance and Mcready companion perk which does the same I have a 95% chance to hit the head of any enemy with a sniper rifle from max VATS range.

NOW GET BACK TO YOUR PATROL" few seconds later I murder both. Really makes sneaking around cool
