ImpAtom posted:A think I feel I should emphasize for those mind-maxing: Well, that's probably good, then, depending on how available mods are without crafting them. I've never been huge into crafting in the first place, so if I can still reliably buy/find good mods without crafting them, I can safely ignore those perks. (Though if there are really good crafted-only mods I'll still probably level them.) Another question about perks: one of the build trees seems to give you the first rank of each perk for free for having the requisite SPECIAL stat. Is that accurate, or do you have to spend a perk point for rank 1 of each perk? I assumed the latter, but I just want to check.

I've never been huge into crafting in the first place, so if I can still reliably buy/find good mods without crafting them, I can safely ignore those perks. (Though if there are really good crafted-only mods I'll still probably level them.) They're pretty available. Enemies have modded weapons you can rip stuff off and there are shopkeepers who sell them. Unique weapons are going to be harder to get crafting parts for though since they need their own custom crafted parts instead of using generic ones. I don't think you'll be able to reliably get the highest-tier crafted parts but you should at least be able to upgrade your guns. The big thing I'd say is hard to find is suppressors which are pretty rare. That is incorrect. You have to spent a perk point to get it. The SPECIAL stat is just the gating requirement.

That's what I thought with the perks, it makes the most sense that way. Thanks for all the answers!

It doesn't really look like FaceGen stuff though. Just plain ugly.

Rookersh posted:Does Fallout 4 have guilds/factions now? Does it have more then two towns? Does it have more then 17 sidequests? Because Fallout 3 was designed so that the main quest was all that mattered, and after that was done, you basically just go collect the remaining Bobbleheads. If Fallout 4 is the same and we already know the ending, then I hope the Settlement stuff is really well done, because it and Bobblehead collecting is probably going to be the only game left.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the fact that bodies can now be scaled instead of having a single base body for every single man and woman.

I have zero interest in the settlement stuff. For one, I like being the lone wanderer/adventurer-type character in these games. I've never been into Minecraft or anything like that and barely got as far as building a single-room house in Hearthfire. I know Todd did his usual "this is totally optional and if you don't care about it you can ignore it" spiel at E3 but they obviously spent time and resources on it they could've invested elsewhere.

TorakFade posted:this reminds me once again that I need a proper character builder when I can actually insert perks and stuff, that nukahub thing is a good reference but I can't actually PLAN my build there, and the other build planner was a piece of crap that wouldn't display right on my computer The one we have really serves the most important bit; planning your starting SPECIAL. You get quick feed back on what you need for each perk, and whether your SPECIAL can afford what is most vital, so you can start spending on those perks from level 2 and onward. Yes, there are level requirements, but those will probably take care of themselves, since a good initial SPECIAL distribution is going to start you with like 5 or 6 perks that you want to invest in immediately. By the time you get them, second tiers start openning up, and before you can even think about buying another SPECIAL attribute to unlock a new perk you are further improving the perks that are already available. It seems to me that the intent is your SPECIAL really shouldn't be changing much over a playthrough. Look at the perks. Decide which are absolutely vital to your desired playstyle. Try to get as many of them unlocked with the starting SPECIAL. From there, things should take care of themselves. The only real concern from there is things like bobble heads and that is weighted by the relative ease of actually finding the Bobbleheads, which doesn't easily factor into a simple stat calculator. But maybe I am looking at things wrong.

Try to get as many of them unlocked with the starting SPECIAL. From there, things should take care of themselves. I think the fact that each SPECIAL stat has a (potentially pretty important) passive effect might make it worth it to drop some perk points into leveling those stats just to have those stats. I plan to have high Charisma to pass speech checks, for example, even though I don't really want much from the Charisma perks. I'm sure doing that is going to require me to change my SPECIAL a decent amount as I play.

I wonder if you could actually gimp yourself if you only kept leveling special and none of the perks. I'm pretty sure you won't be though.

The musket is a dumb early game weapon you use until you find the regular laser rifle. Unless there's a musket variant later that makes them worth using.

I think I saw in one of the streams that you can get ones that crank more than once, and those ones presumable would consume more cells per shot and do more damage.
