Borderlands has an interesting aesthetic but does absolutely NOTHING with it. All their areas are huge, boring expanses of bullshit. Fallout's world is way more fun to spend time in because there's an interesting thing to see or do around every corner. Plus the shooting in Fallout 4 is 1000x better than Borderlands.

RBA Starblade posted:The game's music is really good yeah, besides the UI and jank in settlement building there's not much about the game I'm not liking. It's really bugfree for the most part too (I had to reload at the Kellogg fight because I strafed eternally after firing off the Fat Man to destroy him though), which is amazing for Bethesda. CHA 6 is good because you can start plopping down weapon emporiums. Which reduces the tedium from having to restock on ammo. Just grab a poo poo ton of water, sell it and any extra gear you pick up on a raid, and you're good to go for buying the best ammo in the game for the best guns in the game. I have a wounding plasma rifle that's fully upgraded and does 25 bleed damage per shot. The thing is absurd and it'd be next to impossible to keep it in stock without that.

I like how the companions seem to have comments and unique dialogue for so many of the locations and quests in the game. I'm taking along Curie right now, and her unending curiosity and astonishment about everything is kinda endearing.

Do modders still get hired by AAA companies? Maybe Beth should bring those Skyrim Multiplayer guys on board and see what they can do.

I much prefer Piper just because I can customize her gear, but I'm afraid to take her into the Glowing Sea.

I've been playing this game on pc and recently came into this weird bug where every time I tried to sneak, this huge red thing covered my view. http://imgur.com/jyB1HNV I tried using console commands to change my appearance to see if I could fix it and found that the inside of my character's head is just larger than usual somehow and clips through my head. http://imgur.com/axdPLPU Has anyone experienced this bug? Or can I just not sneak for the rest of the game.

Do companions' weapon damage scale with level? Also, if I give them a better version of their weapon and still no ammo, will they use it?

Speaking of companions using weapons, do you know in what situations they'll automatically pick up dropped weapons? I didn't realise this was a thing until Nick randomly picked up a flame thrower and started loving people up in the middle of a fight. Is it only when the weapon that gets dropped is more powerful than their scaled default weapon?

Maybe you shouldn't treat all your opinions as incontrovertible fact? I asked the other day, but no one seemed to know: (main quest) I tracked down the Courser, and when we had our showdown I had the conversation option "Reset code" which led to me saying a string of numbers that made the Courser shut himself down a la Gunther in Deus Ex. Cool as gently caress, but where did I learn the reset code from?? Also, how do I begin Cait's missions? She admires me, and prompted me for a conversation where she told me about her past and had me pass a speech check for flirting, I think, but now she's back to her default lines. Do I just need to travel some more until she prompts me again?

I just played through the (relatively early MQ spoilers) Kellogg memory sequence. The whole desperate attempt to humanize the guy post-mortem so that you'd feel really bad if you killed him was dumb and is basically a video game trope at this point. That said, I really liked following Kellogg's life. Getting some background on how he ended up working for the institute was very cool. I did find it interesting that he ended up taking on so many cybernetics at some point between starting to work for the institute and his death. I wonder if the institute required that of him?
