the fallout 1 intro video lays the 50s aesthetic on thick, and it's cool as hell

You can kill the first deathclaw by going into the corner store directly across from the museum and shooting it through the windows. It can't fit through the door.

My God, imagine a Bethesda game with a new engine that would let you do things such as:

use KBM and xinput at the same time

walk through doors while holding the walk/run key

walk around on moving platforms

basically the year 3000

These strip missions (and the ones in freeside) feel like they were scaled for players who somehow sneaked past the deathclaws and arrived at level 2, not someone who's got A Light Shining In Darkness and 1000 rounds of hand load .45 in hold out, to say nothing of the vast arsenal I left at the door.

well... yeah

Anyone know how to fix the music/radio crackling and skipping in FO:3/NV? I tried changing the music refresh interval thing in the .ini, but that didn't work.

personally I love having a base of operations, which is why I also think it should be possible to build weapon/armor workbenches and stuff right away

yeah it really should have been like this. I know they wanted to give charisma a perk that lets you build more poo poo, but they could have thought of something actually unique and good and not just... baseline functionality

I'm playing an unarmed/big guns guy in fo3 right now, and the better fist weapon is plunketts valid points, imo. Unfortunately, big guns have been total poo poo so far. Why did they make the rock-it launcher so fuckin bad? :negative:

but that's that people want, predictable boilerplate. any kind of unconventional story/twist would just confuse people, and when people feel confused they get angry

When you talk to Nick about Shaun and Nick tells you that Kellogg came into Diamond City with a ten year old, you can immediately jump to that conclusion and then start tracking Kellogg? So... you realizing that was explicitly written into the story?

what the gently caress are you talking about? realizing you could be frozen for any length of time at the beginning is written into the game... because the game tells you later?

This is one of the things that pisses me off the most with the Fallout 4 intro on Survival; can't save without sleeping, and the game won't let you sleep in the vault because 'MY SHAUN' so you can't make a save that you can use to try out alternate builds without going through the whole intro again.

E: Oh hey, somebody made a Fallout 4 mod for Heavy Rain.

fallout 4 automatically makes a save right before you get on the elevator out of the vault and have the opportunity to change everything

So in 76 is there a way for two people to enter an instance and have both get credit for talking to NPCs or completing objectives? I picked this up with my wife, and it's fun, but tedious having to do everything twice.

Jul 27, 2009

Did some googling and wow... you really can't share quest progress? What a complete piece of poo poo. Why even bother releasing the content or calling it multiplayer? Truly baffling how anyone could release a game in this state. Shameful.

Do not get Fallout 76 if you plan on playing with a friend. We would return it if we could.

I can only assume enemies are scaled up in a party, because my wife and I are in the 20s and everything is a huge bullet sponge. it's not necessarily hard, but it's tedious

TheAgent posted:

everything should just scale to your own level, regardless of who you are partied with. the game gets a little weird with scaling right around there, btw -- a problem they've tried to fix twice, and another fix for that level range should be coming in another patch

what are your builds like? and grabbing some legendary weapons from the purveyor or even just tagging along for quests like Uranium Fever and Wolf Horde: Forest can net you some pretty decent weapons at that level

if you tell me what builds you are using or going for, I could probably help optimize them a bit

I just have three points in commando and concentrated fire since those get recommended a lot, she has been putting points into shotguns. Does rifleman affect shotguns in 76 like it did in 4?

I hosed up and wasted a couple points in energy wep crafting before learning that they don't get better. We play by ourselves on a private server, and have done only the level appropriate events that have popped up (if we have enough ammo to be bothered at the time)

Basically when in doubt, I put points in str, per, and luck

The game won't let you use a gamepad and m+kb simultaneously. That's been standard for like over a decade.

yeah and on top of that if you use a program to map keys to a gamepad to get around this it will toggle auto-run off every time you enter a door because it does that if shift is held down

truly a big pile of poo poo

I blasted through the MQ and broken steel dlc first on this F3 run, and I think that's the way to go. The stuff BS adds to the main map livens it up a bit.

The little recap video when you beat the original MQ is gonna be a little underwhelming though
