Jeff Goldblum posted:Someone want to explain to me, again, how these east coast jerks, who are apparently swimming in pre-war money, never mind how Fallout 3 was set where you could probably find the loving presses, still decided to use bottle caps, in spite of being removed by thousands of miles from The Hub? But there is stuff like iguana on a stick, radscorpions, and Deathclaws that don't really make a ton of sense for the DC area to have because DC tends to not have scorpions and lizards. And whatever, there are definitely ways to justify it all, but not just lazy design, it's a very wrongheaded design. The presence of Super Mutants in Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 is frankly completely unnecessary and imagines a non-existent consumer who needs Super Mutants to be in the game because it's Fallout. That's why caps are used on the East Coast. Because it's a Fallout game.

4 still has serious game-breaking issues for me that I was only able to fix with mods, such as certain quest-important areas dropping so many frames (down to about 0.5 fps) that they become unplayable. I enjoy the game, I've played it a ton, but it's ridiculous that I have to seek out third-party modifications in order to make the game stable enough to play (albeit still extremely crash-prone). Some of the bugs are at least amusing, like freeing the Nuka-World slaves causing everyone in the park to remove all of their clothes, but seriously, the level of jankiness in this game is ridiculous for such a huge AAA studio.

It's only in specific places, it's in specific places where other people have reported identical issues, and it only happened while looking at single specific locations in those places. They were usually not even particularly resource-intensive areas; problem areas included a single blank wall in one corner of the Diamond City jail, for example, which is a tiny cell with few NPCs and no significant graphical effects to speak of. A shelf in one of the closets in the Switchboard also caused the problem; I could get consistently great FPS in the entire zone no matter what, even at max settings, even while standing next to the shelf, but looking at the shelf turned the game into a slideshow. Installing ENBoost on an otherwise vanilla install and setting up an ENB preset fixed it - it still happens occasionally, but a save and restart always fixes it, and it happens once every three or four play sessions instead of two or three times every play session.

Far Harbour is just so much better story and quest wise than anything in the main game. The quest is still kind of dumb with the Children of Atom stuff, but it comes closer to genuine interesting ethical choices than anything the mainland factions throw at you.

Fallout 4's economy isn't backed by caps or bundles of old-world $1* bills, it's backed by whoever the gently caress is honoring those promissory notes for adhesive and fiber optics. Still probably caravans? (*pre-war money might be a bunch of different denominations? But the sealed secret compartment in the crashed airliner by Tenpines Bluff has $2500 in cash per the manifest, and 25 pre-war money.)

Really, if Bethesda had actually been interested in doing their own spin on fallout, instead of aping the aesthetic wholesale, they could have gone with the original plan for 1 to use pre-war credit cards, with different colors being used as different denominations.

Given the abundance of working pre-war terminals, I'd think you'd be able to rig up a funcional POS system. Collecting the batch transfers at the end of the day might get a bit sporting. Retail... Retail never changes.

I actually really liked the bit in F4 where you buy a charge card from that scammer and get rejected everywhere you try to use it. One of those few nice little touches that felt like it was out of the original games. Was a bit sad when that guy actually accepted it in Far Harbor.

Yep, that sounds like the problem I was having. Some days I can go all day without a problem, and others it'll take three attempts to fast-travel once. Try downloading the Fallrim Tools to removed orphan scripts from your save files. That helped me in several instances.

Deceitful Penguin posted:Yeah, not only that but with decent DLC support in general. Yeah, some of it wasn't great, like the boring swamp thing (though it had good moments) and the alien one (what was even going on there??) but at least there was some effort put into supporting the game after launch and some vague acknowledgement that Mistakes Had Been Made and needed to be fixed Point Lookout was the pinnacle of Fallout 3's dlc actually, easy mistake to make. A medium sized, densely packed map that played to the games strengths with interesting quests, characters, and locations, all in an awesome swampy package that felt extremely unique compared to the base game without feeling silly.

You are both right! It was a great setting doing something different to the usual scorched wasteland let down by lazy balancing. In order to make it challenging the hillbillies had ridiculous hit points and extra damage instead of some more interesting game design.

Yes, but it also had a mod that allowed Cannibalism to be the third way you can finish the story.  (but yes, The Pitt was a legit good expansion)

There's an ambush that's obvious from a mile away, but you have to walk into it to advance the plot. But yeah, some of the 3D level design was awesome. It made my framerate tank in places, but that shouldn't be an issue 9 years after release.

Creation club is live, just as everyone expected it's literally paid mods - repainting Pipboy or for example Hellfire power armor - pay Bethesda $5 for it or get one of 3 free versions on nexus, hmmmm.

The only thing they ever learned from Horse Armour DLC is to get someone else to create the horse armour. Also the update fucks up anything that requires F4SE, so it's got that going for it. And it downloads the mod assets, so what you're paying for is the esp file.

So what happens with mods I already have installed? Will some of those now become paid mods with an update and then break my game? In particular I'm thinking of Sim-Settlements because that's actually a very high quality mod. If I have to start paying for poo poo I already have to keep my game working, ugh. Edit: nvm, I found the answer this. NO current mods will be allowed to be iterated into a paid mod, ONLY new content. I'm sure there'll be a loophole there somewhere and this is still incredibly tasteless, but oh well. chaosapiant fucked around with this message at 12:10 on Aug 30, 2017 |
