The level up you used made me think, Bloody Mess and the Richochet one might actually work for Archer. I mean, Brett did have that amazing ricochet to hit him, and Archer does seem to cause lots of mayhem.

Well, we don't want to run the risk of making Archer too competent. Ricochet is a good shout. I feel old Sterling should be winning by shear force of incompetence.

Although, on a related note, do cyborg cannibals eat cybernetic limbs or just the fleshy bits? Might have that discussion on the Stream.

Let's just say that no part of the Robobrain goes to waste.

Do you find it strange that the Minutemen quests give a money reward? I think that's kind of weird given the narrative the game's writers are trying to establish. It goes from you and Preston trying to create a coherent defense for settlers to 'pay up or fend for yourselves'. Maybe Preston is the one causing the raids and this is just one giant protection racket.

You can take that baseball bat to Moe in Diamond City.

I was thinking that its a shame you can't send out your companions on missions by themselves. Similar to the combat unit deployments in Metal Gear Solid 5. Wouldn't it be great if you could send out Curie and Hancock to take on some raiders or pair up Curie and Cait and send them off to clear out a vault together? And when they came back they'd have some dialogue about it. Much better than walking aimlessly around a settlement repeating the same three lines.
At the very least it would keep Preston occupied and as far away from you as possible.

And that's ultimately the problem with Preston. He's just bland, and that's outside the constant harassment about settlements.
He's barely survived leading a group of people to Sanctuary, lost quite a few along the way. Faced raiders, supermutants, ghouls and the like and it doesn't show on his character at all.
Now imagine if it was sassy, grizzled veteran Ronnie that was leading the group to Sanctuary. At least if she was constantly nagging you about settlements you could take her along and she'd have a ball blowing poo poo up.

I never had the birds and the bees talk. But I did have Sex Ed classes at school.
Oh boy did I have Sex Ed classes.
A comprehensive breakdown of every contraceptive, foam, IUDs, the pill, etc. complete with a teacher awkwardly putting a condom on a cucumber.
Then there was the slide show presentation on STDs. Image after image of diseased genitalia burned into my brain.
But I think the stand out was my Chemistry teacher hooking up a pickled gherkin up to two electrodes turning out the lights and running a current through it and proudly announcing "Gentlemen, this is what an STD looks like".
I think their whole objective was to scare us out of wanting to have sex ever, however they underestimated the need of horny teenagers to get their rocks off.

Weird thing was that they told us masturbation was totally fine but that porn would warp our brains. Which I guess was fair enough.

It's nice that they mixed up the dungeon designs by adding something new but I'm not sure keycards was the way to go, if you've ever played the old MSX Metal Gears, they were the nadir of gameplay since you had to have them equipped and only certain cards got you through certain doors, so you'd have to constantly cycle through them to find the right one because gently caress remembering what's the right one.
I feel like we talk about Metal Gear a lot.

Vault-Tec are so cartoonishly evil it's great. I reckon that the company chief scientists just channeled the spirit of Pavlov to ask him about different ways to gently caress with people and dress it up as an experiment. I like to think that the senior Vault-Tec officials are off in some sealed bunker cryogenically frozen and somehow having video feeds from all the vaults beamed into their dreams just because they could.

I've never electrocuted myself but I did get a glimpse of how the world will end.
When I was six years old I put a can of soup into the microwave.
There were sparks, arching electric bolts, explosions and eruptions of super heated destructive liquid.

We're going to need a fashion show for Curie and Cait (and maybe Preston if you put him in the post man's outfit).

I knew someone who lost the tip of one of their fingers three times. The first time it was cut off when a car door slammed on it, the second time a horse bit it off, and the third time it just fell off.

And there's actually a story Nancy has about someone's extremity escaping the body, but one thing I've learned from knowing here is that growing up on a farm involves a lot more body part loss than you would imagine.

That wouldn't be strange for a cannibal. In fact it would probably be actively encouraged.

I noticed it takes forever to load FO4 on a SSD in borderless window mode with vsync on, or runs way too fast with vsync off. Apparently its due to the game engine code being tied up to the framerate like a DOS game 20+ years ago.

Metal Gear has been a profound influence, but I'll admit that I'm actually not very good at it. I have a tendency to lose patience with the stealth part of stealth action games and go straight to the action... which is also usually not very good, because those games are not optimized for action because fighting is supposed to be a punishment rather than the main game play mode.

I wouldn't say it's about how good you are, more it's what keeps bringing you back to this batshit series of games. I think Peace Walker or The Phantom Pain would be good for you since there's a whole bunch of tools to use for stealth. I do think the having forced alerts gets in the way a lot though.

My thoughts on the DLC (from last September!), responding to a question about getting the Season Pass:


I've since seen the rest of Nuka-World, and since the videos and streams haven't gotten there yet I'll not go into detail about my thoughts yet. However, I will say that although I hate the story parts of it the setting and some of the soda-related added material is pretty interesting. The map is bigger than I expected and there is (a little) actual interaction with the Commonwealth.

In shorter:
Farharbar: good, Automatron/Nuka: okay, Vault-tec: bah, Other Two Workshops: technically exist I suppose but who cares

I think we could probably address how deceptive some of the writing generally for Fallout4 is. For a game that's open world with RPG mechanics the main quest is shockingly railroaded. Sean makes you head of the Institute but at no point can you go ahead and say "yeah the whole abduction and replacing people thing, you better cut that out". You can't even challenge him on his poo poo.
And I fervently believe Bethesda's QA consisted of one guy going "good enough".
