How do I apply these weapon mods I have in my inventory to my gun? I can't tell if I get the option to at a workbench or not.

The laser musket is one of the coolest weapons I've seen in recent memory. It's really a genius way to essentially make a bolt-action laser gun.

Now, the whole idea of turning a crank to "charge up" a laser is a bit silly but I'll be goddamned if it doesn't feel so loving good in combat.


I demand somebody mod in the "Pop Goes the Weasel" tune to the Laser Musket.

Just go into normal weapon crafting at a workbench and they'll be available just like if you had the prerequisite materials.

The thing I really hate about this story line is that you have literally nothing to go on, no way of knowing when he was kidnapped, by who or even when it happened. To kick the main story off apparently you have to listen to the babbling of a literally insane woman and do what she suggests. They could have at least left some clue behind like accidentally dropped their business card for bad guys incorporated so you have something to go on.

It's not like the crazy old lady has a wild idea. Go to the big city and ask about is pretty much what I would have done anyway.

Game makes me motion sick, first game to ever do so. I have tried changing the FOV and removing mouse acceleration but this isn't helping. Anyone else have this problem, and been able to solve it? I can do about 10 minutes and then can't stand it anymore. I can play all other Fallout games and FPS with no problem.

Might be the blurring when moving? Try turning of TAA anti aliasing and motion blur. That helped me at least.

Nope, not exactly (for integers, anyway)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two%27s_complement

It's more like negative numbers in signed integers count down from what would be the very largest value that can be stored in an unsigned integer.

A signed byte don't just count from any arbitrary value down. it start in 127 that is when the first bit turn on. So you and the other guy say the same thing. Both of you are right, except your description is how a high level programmer would describe it, and his description is how a guy near the iron, a assembler programmer or a chip designer would describe it.

I know what it is, because it bugs me a little too - it's the "CRT" of the Pip-Boy combined with being waved about on the PC's arm while you're trying to look at it. The other Fallouts just had it as a flat stationary thing but F4's protagonist needs to learn to hold his arm still a drat minute.

Hello hi I do assembler and stuff. Twos complement is not the same as 'putting a 1 at the beginning of the number' - that's sign-magnitude representation, which is what IEEE floating point does, but not integers on any vaguely modern machine. -1 starts at what would be 255, not 127, but even then only if you're looking at a byte value rather say a 64 bit number - then -2 maps to 254, and so on and so forth.

Based on my own logic, if 210 years ago somebody kidnaped a baby from a hibernation chamber, by now the babie will be either a 211 years old lady, or a small mountain of bones, probably a small mountain of bones.
1 and half hour in the game, and it seems we play as a logic challenged lady / men, or some mentally broken person.

No, you're clearly in stasis prior to the kidnapping, so whatever stretch of time between the kidnapping and now is gonna be much more recent than 210 years.

Not sure if you noticed, but the baby wasn't kidnapped when you were first put in the freezer.

the kidnapping was somewhere between the bombs and now, you have no idea when exactly, but definitely not 210 years ago.

It's a checkbox in the advanced options. As for the TAA, that kinda sucks since it's much better than FXAA... but whenever you move it blurs the hell out of everything and it made the game unplayable for me.


I was going to ask this too before I noticed that instead of saying "Build" it says "Attach". They could have made it a bit more obvious, but then again the entire UI is a clusterfuck v:shobon:v

Nope. Mods.

Difficulties are

Survival

Survival has nothing to do with survival. It's just an edgy way of saying "Very Hard++" and I think all the difficulty changes is enemy HP/Damage and how fast you heal. Or something.

Press ~ then enter "ShowSPECIALMenu"

You can respec and rename yourself.

The menu seems a little buggy though, so save before you do it and make sure everything adds up afterwards.

Game is an absolute blast so far, haven't had any major issues other than AI repeating dialogue lines, no CTDs at all, good performance.

Weapon mods are my everything right now. I have to craft the ultimate death machines.

when you reach Megaton in Fallout 3, you can ask the guy at the gate “has anyone seen my father? Middle-aged guy”, so it wouldn’t be out of the question.

Boston Public Library, northeast of Diamond City. You'll need either the first rank of Locksmith or possibly a long trip through the subway station beneath it to get in. Explore thoroughly, and look out for robots and mutants. If you don't interfere they'll do a good job killing each other.
