I got kellogs pistol. An instigating sniper. Righteous authority for building up crits, a lucky shotgun for using up those crits. The deliverer, a silenced combat rifle and the railgun. What more do I need? Lol.

I like the Gauss rifle in this; it's a neat implementation that makes it more than just "the best rifle". But man, I'm really jonesing for a Gauss pistol. I loved that thing in FO2.

If there were more quests like the Institute's Pinned as the Minutemen, it'd be a lot more interesting than "go to village, wipe out location, return, return, repeat". It'll be in the next DLC, I guess! Speaking of DLC, any news? Or maybe a new patch?

Maybe you could get missions to raid other factions or settlers for money. that would require fallout 4 to be something other than bad diablo with guns. Also I finished the game. It was a bad Diablo with guns. The gameworld is fun until you realize that it's incongruous and non-interactive, the gunplay gets dull quickly, and the story is just a series of beats that Bethesda wanted you to go through regardless of if it makes sense with your actions in the game. Exploration is boring because there's all of one interesting location in the game (Glowing Sea, which is an interesting idea completely unrealized. Can you even do anything in the city there?) You don't even have to compare it to Witcher to see how bad it is, even something like Shadow of Mordor or New Vegas gets so much more right. Even the fun quests like the one with the robot ship devolves to a series of fights and fetch quests. The Silver Shroud quest (which was the best in the game) can't help but get bogged down in fast travel -> fight -> fast travel. I just sided with The Institute in the end because it felt like the shortest path to the end of the game. It's a Go Place -> Bigger Numbers game, and there's better ones out there. The first five hours are fun at least. Maybe Obsidian can make a better game with the same engine, because the ol' Bethesda design philosophy of cramming as much poo poo into the world as possible without any regard for quality is really not working.

Cleretic posted:There's a lot of disparity between the work done on companions that suggest they were introduced at wildly different points, which I find interesting. Strong's where I first started seeing it, because it's clear with him that they introduced him very late. He's got nothing special about him story or scripting-wise, despite the fact that he should, and he's got no unique visual assets either. But I feel like it's very transparent when exactly most of the companions were added, just looking at them from that perspective. I love that you didn't even mention X6-88.

X6-88 would probably qualify under faction companions, like Deacon and Danse. Not that that makes X6 any more more substantial to the plot other then "We should probably have an Institute companion too".

I did the submarine quest- and I've done both my runs as a good guy. When I get to the sub and discover a guy who was involved in launching the nukes on Boston I was of the opinion that I probably should just kill this guy because he deserved it- but the game's "die commie scum" line seemed like it wasn't going to reflect my feelings. So I helped him. He wants to go home. Ok. I'll bury the hatchet. I do all the work and we get the sub going. You know what I wanted as a reward? An apology. Sorry I was involved in destroying your world. That's all. Instead, I get a device that lets me call him up and fire more nukes. gently caress you.

Foul Fowl posted:that would require fallout 4 to be something other than bad diablo with guns. I started playing Far Cry 4 after finishing the main quest in Fallout 4 and drat, it's sad how much it puts it to shame in literally every way. Far better gunplay, it looks much better and runs better too, story doesn't really seem bad, lots of cool places to explore, hell it even does the whole leveling up thing better because all the upgrades add new stuff that changes the way you play rather than just doing 20% more damage with one type of gun.

Is there a way to make settlers wear power armor? I want to set up a supply line between spectacle island and other settlements but the radiation is lethal to settlers and a suitable power armor would help. I just can't order one of them into the armor. Is there a way to do this?

Then you can set them up with a sweet getup.

So I'm nearing the endgame with the Minutemen, and I'm seeing a weird glitch where Z1-14 goes hostile on the Minutemen as soon as I relay them in. Since he's essential, they'll knock him down, then he gets back up and it starts again; I can't even finish a conversation with Preston to continue Nuclear Option, especially since I of course have to talk about the bullshit radiant quests first. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, is there a workaround?

If you are playing on PC, just open the console, click on him, and type disable.

Renditious posted:X6-88 would probably qualify under faction companions, like Deacon and Danse. Not that that makes X6 any more more substantial to the plot other then "We should probably have an Institute companion too". Yeah, he's in with the other faction companions (Deacon, Danse and Preston), although thinking about it I bet the Institute questline was a lower priority and later implementation than the other three. I like that we get the option to join the guys only fleshed out as villains so far, and to see that they really aren't that bad, but the idea clearly didn't get much more thought and attention than that. I didn't even find X6-88, actually. Didn't bother me, since I preferred to be going it alone anyway, but still. Cleretic fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Dec 27, 2015 |

Goddamn but some of the raids on your settlements are random. I don't know if they consider what you've got equipped when deciding who to spawn against you, but I got an alert that Warwick was under attack. Alright, no big deal, me and Nick were rolling around in power armour in the the glowing sea so nbg, we'll fast travel and mop up. Fast travelling there spawns me RIGHT in the loving middle of about a dozen gunners, 3 of which are legendaries. If I hadn't been in power armour, it would have been an unwinnable fight, so maybe the game spawned more enemies because of it? Who knows. Also, my quest for The Slog is bugged out - it tells me to clear out the greenskins at some place just to the northeast, I forget where (supermutant farm area near an army roadblock with an assaultron and mr. gutsy), but there's no quest marker on the area and nothing triggers after I wipe out the mutants. Sorry ghouls, guess you're on your own.

I doubt it's your gear, but I really don't know and would like a mod to make it less annoying. At Starlight Drive-In I've set up some incredible defenses, and whenever it gets attacked it's usually just a horde of low level ghouls who get cut down before they reach the front gate. On the other hand I have Finch Farm which is this dinky little farm with 4 people and it gets 6 Super Mutant Primuses, 2 with rocket launches. Maybe the devs didn't think everyone would just fast travel to the settlements to get these dumb quests over with, and would like walk there and see the fight and decide if/how to engage? If so, hahahahha christ they're retarded.

Do the attacks scale to the threat level the zone was generated at or whatever, just like turrets do, so Red Rocket will always get scrubs and some remote southern farm will get behemoths?

I haven no concrete proof of this but it seems to spawn raids in inverse proportion to the defenses you've built, or it may be in relation to the resources that a homestead generates, which is why the farms always seem to get bulldozed.

I've found that putting a fast travel target to somewhere other than the default position is a great investment in not spawning in the midst of 4 power armoured legendary raiders that are currently pummeling your settlement.
