khy posted:Are you sure about that? Because in New Vegas the 'lots of small hits being worse than one big one' was the result of the DT system. If you had 10 DT then three hits for 25-damage each would only do 15 damage each, 45 total vs one hit for 75-damage doing 65 damage total. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Damage_Resistance#Fallout_4 it's the morrowind system except it's no longer linear

Prophecy120 posted:So laser beam splitters are useless right? I swap out my beam focus mod for the splitter and the laser rifle damage goes from 90 to 93, and the range drops from 203 to 117 and it seems like every individual beam has to hit for it all to add up to 93. I see literally zero reason to ever use this. It's basically for turning your rifle into a shotgun - think of it in those terms and you'll still find a use for it.

At some points in the song it hits just the right note where it sounds like a mine beeping which always disturbs me when I'm sneaking around.

 To bring this scooby snack up again, if anyone is having trouble getting ammo or running out of it ... pick up enemy guns. You'll automatically empty them (and they always seem to be full). That means that basically every laser weapon you pick up will net you 30 fusion cells. It explains why that mission where I fought a lot of synths and picked up all of their lovely institute lasers gained me like 800 fusion cells, where I only had 150 or so the past 20 levels.

Deified Data posted:It's basically for turning your rifle into a shotgun - think of it in those terms and you'll still find a use for it. Right, that's the idea at least on paper. For that to work the beam splitter would have to greatly reduce your range (which it does) and greatly increase the damage (which it doesn't). At level 37 with rank 4 Rifleman my heavily modded laser rifle does 90 damage, and my combat shotgun does 154 damage. For a laser shotgun to be useful, the mod would need to bring that 90 damage around that ~150 damage mark the regular shotgun has, not 93 like the mod provides now. Edit: How hard would it be to edit weapon and modifications damage tables? Is that something that can only be done with the creation kit?

Question: Some weapons like the plasma pistol/plasma rifle don't appear to have any discernible difference between their essential make-up and can both be easily modded into the other on a whim by switching out the barrel and stock. So what perk determines their damage bonus? Perks for pistols or perks for rifles? If it changes, what parts truly determine if it's a pistol or a rifle?

Seems like if you modify the stock of an Institute Pistol to a big one, it gets renamed to Institute Rifle. So maybe that one.

Most weapons are like this, from the early bolt weapons to stuff like laser and plasma weapons. Generally, if it has a stock, rifle, if not pistol. If you put on an auto receiver it will be classed as an auto, and use the commando perk. As long as you haven't given it a custom name, the name of the gun will change to reflect what perk it will use.

Not quite quote:Note that this is applied *after* the ratio and exponent are calculated, so damage resistance is applied on the base potential weapon damage, before difficulty-based multipliers are included in. This means that damage resistance is the same level of effectiveness (or ineffectiveness) on every difficulty level.

I would like to say that the animations in this game are way better than I was expecting. The ambling on the Protectrons is especially good. Also, this game has the best-looking water fountains??

What's the difference between Very Hard and Survival? It appears that on both difficulties you deal 0.5x damage, and take 2x damage. Legendary on Very Hard is 2x, Survival is 3x. What happens to enemy HP on Very Hard and Survival though? My google-fu appears to let me down

If it already has like 4 provisioners going to/from, you can not send any more. You only need one line to any given settlement to share resources between it and all other settlements connected on the same network.

Wait does survival really only change the healing rate from items? I had no idea the damage ratio was the same. If that's the case then I really don't get all the bullet sponge enemy complaints.

Question from later on in the main quest: Is it ever made clear whether or not synths are actually killing people and taking their place? I just did the Institute quest that starts with delivering a packet of seeds to an undercover synth farmer, and the ending made me pause - the antagonist there is suspicious and wants to kill the synth, and says "The REAL farmer is already dead, because this synth killed him!" Is that true? The other alternative is that maybe the synth has been aboveground long enough to have had a wife and kids? I haven't finished the game yet, but I already know I'm not going to get to sit down with Shaun and say "look, the institute is incredible, and I'm totally onboard, but we need to stop loving with the surface and stop keeping all these human synths as slaves. Keep making them for the labor if you want, just quit trying to make them so smart. No one ever complained about the rights of a Mr. Gutsy."

Hahahaha holy poo poo that reduced healing rate is no joke. On Very Hard I could pop a stimpack or eat twenty cheese wheels and my HP would be up in less than 3 seconds. It's now taking a full minute+ for 30 HP. This is going to make things VERY interesting.

So what's the key to getting more powerful guns? I'm starting to reach a point where my 70 damage rifle and 35-40 damage laser aren't doing a whole lot anymore, is it all about modding/perks to increase their damage? Or do you eventually find guns with higher damage?

Actually, if you hang out with Deacon, he mentions that this is a huge point of arguments within the railroad. Everyone wants to save the Gen 3 synths, but when you go down to Gen 2 and Gen 1, people have wildly different opinions.

Attaching a grip makes it a pistol, while a stock makes it a rifle. You can also attach an automatic barrel or a scatter barrel to make it automatic or a laser shotgun. I find it interesting that energy weapons are almost as moddable as pipe weapons. It makes playing with energy weapons pretty fun.

I've got a Combat Rifle that does 10 points of explosive damage, it's great for tearing ghouls up. Also, what's up with the shotguns in this game? Unless I get right up and shove the gun down their throat they do gently caress all damage. I get that shotguns are meant for close range but this is ridiculous.
