I just started FO76, and I like it. The only real gripe I have is that inventory management. I seem to become over encumbered quickly and then I’m left making choices or walk back to a stash to store my materials.

If I wanted to try out Idiot Savant would it work best if I got my INT up to 4 so I can at least grab hacking perks and then crank the rest into Luck?

I think somebody somewhere online mathed it out that Idiot Savant equates to flat bonus exp and only has the kind of diminishing returns as to be considered useless between 15 and 20 INT, which are numbers you're not going to see in a normal game, or something like that! so, yes, definitely.

So if I wanted to I could still get a high INT level since it maxes out at 10 (before Chem and outfit buffs) and synergize the Savant perk with the extra EXP from intelligence? Well no one said this game was balanced.

The numbers for savant are on the fallout wiki: https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Idiot_Savant wizard2’s conclusion is incorrect (Int 15 is when it becomes as good as Int 2) but idiot savant is a net xp gain in all cases, just possibly a very small one.

Is a permanent INT 15 even attainable or would you need Mentats to hit it? 10 INT plus the bobblehead puts you at 11, then clothing bonuses from a Vault Tec Lab Coat makes 13. Are there any +2 INT Headwear options?

The Fallout 4 guy is a war criminal uproar was funny. I genuinely didn't realize people cared about Fallout continuity. Each playable character is a blank slate and each game's got a dozen endings, so each sequel's gotta play coy about previous events. So why would anyone give a poo poo? Anyway, I've been wanting to play Fallout 1. Is there a way to make the mouse not feel so rear end to use on modern systems?

Fallout TV show has done what I thought was impossible, and made my partner - who has historically given 0 shits for Fallout - want to play 76. We've been up past bedtime the last couple nights building a new camp together and doing quests, while I buy up every useful schematic we find along the way to hand over to her. I don't think it will last longterm - we're both too busy to get into a new MMO-type game in a serious way - but it's fun as hell right now. Also, thanks to the goon who tipped me off to Holy Fire, this thing is hilarious. I eat through fuel like crazy and have actually had to go scavenging again for acid and oil - something I haven't needed to do in like 50 levels. But hey, it's all worth it, because blue flamer goes brrtttttt.

I do solo expeditions to Atlantic City (Tax Evasion) and end up with tons of extra fuel since everything in there drops at least like 15 fuel except the ones with flamers who drop 150. You also end up with tons of pre-war money that you can scrap into cloth which I then use to make hats to easily max out the vendor every day. ( trench runner hats require 2 cloth and each hat sells for like 15 caps with hard bargain)

The server doesn't usually update mob damage for a second or two, so usually you are already killing the mob in a single click - it's just not showing up. Holding down just eats up extra fuel.

In FO76, are cross/bows viable long-term? I much prefer low-tech weapons but after doing one event with them, I'm thinking not.

Not really. I think the harpoon gun might scratch the same itch and be viable though.

My partner wants to play New Vegas and honestly it's about time I play it too. It's been sitting on my wishlist for years as a back-up for some day when I needed a good rpg and didn't have anything new. Any must have mods for fixing bugs or whatever? What's the Wrye Bash equivalent for the Fallout series? We're just gonna be tooling around, the vanilla experience and graphics are fine.

History Comes Inside! posted:I started playing 76 and it seems alright except everything I kill with a ranged weapon seems to take an extra shot to actually die once I deplete its health bar What weapon was it? Back when I played, there were issues with big alpha weapons' damage being rejected by the server sometimes, or leaving mobs alive with 1hp. And uh some servers do not cope well with lag, if you see rubber banding hp pool mobs using an automatic, server hop immediately. And above guy no bows are not really viable outside of solo play, neither are snipers. It's all about automatics, even for melee they are greatly preferred (chainsword style things or the auto-axe) sauer kraut fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Apr 16, 2024 |

Just a basic automatic rifle, nothing particularly exotic. I’m only level 20 something. I tend not to just hold the trigger down and hose things because lol ammo so it makes it stand out more that I’m getting off bursts which should definitely be killing things but they all need an extra click to actually die. Edit: also seems like it’s depending on each click of the mouse being a ‘new’ attack maybe? I’ll fire off a quick burst of 3-4 rounds and even if the first 2 rounds deplete the enemy health bar completely the last 1-2 rounds just do nothing and it still requires a followup tap.

The guide is a little overkill, but I’m a hardened gamebryo sufferer so I know what tweaks to skip for this use case The guide likely isn’t overkill. If you’re not already familiar with modding new Vegas, it’s the crashiest version of its generation of gamebryo games (with fallout 3 and oblivion being the others). By all means skip the overhauls section if you’re not interested (although you really should install jsawyer or a descendant if you’re going to play on survival mode), but Viva New Vegas is far from a total graphics redo or a total conversion or something. In fact, there’s whole pages in there telling you why not to install those kinds of mods, because they’ll likely make New Vegas explode. Instead the reason VNV is recommended as a starting point is because it’s the community’s best efforts to fix the game’s stability, make it run well (as in no giant fps dips or something), add non-breaking patches for vanilla content, and the various ui/tweaks to fix the game being created in one development sprint back in like 2009 (so for example, menus now have the same navigation keys as a standard instead of the awful assumption everyone always used a controller that was common to AAA games of that generation.) If you are as experienced with Gamebryo as you say you are, you should already know that each Gamebryo title has different things it can be coaxed to do well, things it needs fixed, and problems you’ll run into while modding. Follow VNV and you’ll have a much better time than assuming all your knowledge from modding Oblivion or Skyrim original edition applies just the same.

Inzombiac posted:In FO76, are cross/bows viable long-term? Depends on what you mean by "viable." Depending on legendary effects, plasma bows can be a lot of fun for quests / completing scoreboard objectives / events that don't involve swarms. It's also pretty easy to meet the damage requirement for loot from the queen. You're never, ever going to have ammo problems. Big Guns / Commando are smoother gameplay experiences - most of the other weapons have significant tradeoffs that some of the systems nerds might be able to explain better. The big one for bows / crossbows is that, while you can one-shot any enemy you can see, bows are a charging weapon and it's incredibly easy to get swarmed in events that involve a lot of enemies. They rely on stealth and VATs so if you are in a situation where you can't sneak or target enemies in VATS (like invisible guys in daily ops) you'll be in a rough spot. Except for Big Guns / Commando, most of the other weapon groups have tradeoffs like this anyways (gunslinger requires a bunch of agility cards that mean you miss out on taking stealth, for instance.) So you should play what you like! If you really like bows, one option is to use loadouts. I keep a "fun" loadout (named 'Archer' because that's what I was running when I made it, but now it's an energy gunslinger using circuit breaker / gamma pistol / gauss pistol) for just running around and normal events like, say, campfire tales and a serious event loadout (STR+INT flamer build that gives a ton of carry weight and int for XP) for daily ops / swarm events like radiation rumble or protecting the church in mothman equinox.

The Fallout TV series has been enough to get me to reinstall FO76 after not playing it since November of 2020. I logged in to find myself wildly overencumbered - I think I may have been enjoying some old bug where you could equip and dequip some +carry weight armor fast enough that the server basically gave you unlimited inventory after a while back when I last played. I've shoved what I can back into my stash, but it's basically 100% full and I'm still pretty overencumbered. I seem to have at least 5-6 different sets of power armor in there - Excavator, X-01, T-60, T-45, T-51, Ultracite, and some kind of Bone Collector set as well, which I imagine is taking up the majority of my stash. I have no idea how to discern what's worth keeping/using and what's junk to throw away at this point. Can anyone offer any guidance or ideas as to how to proceed from here? Once I figure out what isn't worth keeping anymore, what do I do with the extras? Scrap em? Sell em? It feels like I need to solve this hurdle before I can actually, you know, play. I guess the smart thing might be to just roll a new character but I would be sad to lose whatever progress this guy has.

If you have a friend you trust, you can join them in a server, go somewhere private, and drop your stuff. Jump to a (newly created?) alt, join your buddy's server, and your loot bag will still be there (unless someone else picked it up) Make sure all your PA is on a frame (frames weigh 10lbs regardless of installed PA pieces) Maybe reconjigger your perks to increase Strength to 15. Then there's some consumables + perks that might help. Rad Ant Lager gives 50lbs of carry weight for a minute or two, or if you don't have it unlocked, equip Party Boy perk + drink Whiskey to give you 6 Strength (30lbs carry weight) plus perks like Travelling Pharmacy (or a Chemists backpack) or Thru-Hiker (or a Grocer's backpack) along with newer weapon-specific or PA-specific perks - see this full list of Weight Related Perks here by clicking Expand: https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Carry_Weight_(Fallout_76)#Perk_Cards
