jfc still in the dark/I could make you care is the biggest loving slog yet

all I want is to use some power armor :(

Spoilers for another companion quest, but I think For Auld Lang Syne is a little quicker, and has other benefits as well, if that's all you want.

Ask me about onklunk extraction.
If you just want power armor training and don't really care about the Brotherhood's future (and honestly gently caress em anyway) then you can just do the quest to have Paladin Hardin kick out McNamara, it goes a lot faster.

theres not even a mod to play as either in fallout 4 which sucks rear end.

There are a couple, actually, on God's Own System.

Super Mutant:
https://bethesda.net/en/mods/fallout4/mod-detail/2879311

Feral Ghoul:
https://bethesda.net/en/mods/fallout4/mod-detail/3412449

The above ones screw up using power armor (are basically power armor reskins) and the below ones let you create a ghoul at character creation.

I'm Ghoulish:
https://bethesda.net/en/mods/fallout4/mod-detail/2084403

Revamped Ghoul Mod:
https://bethesda.net/en/mods/fallout4/mod-detail/3123659

Playable Ghouls:
https://bethesda.net/en/mods/fallout4/mod-detail/1077498

That last one can just ghoulify your current character, too.

How would the dog wear goggles and even more than that, who makes the goggles?


i got a mod that added nuka molotovs and a different nuka blaster, cause I had become king of nuka world but I didn't like the thirst zapper all that much. they're part of a mod that adds the nuka girl rocketsuit, but it predates the nuka world dlc so its all sexy-like. turns out unlike every other mod for fallout 4 this sexy outfit works on male characters, so now my dude has a big juicy rear end as well as more nuka weapons.

Power armor labeled 'Brotherhood' is faction armor.

In the faction disguise sense.

There *are* some suits of power armor that aren't faction armor, though, so keep an eye out.

Yeah, that's the thing, I wasn't wearing any uniform and NCR started shooting at me on sight :stare:

I reloaded a previous save before taking eyesight for the blind and decided to get back to the main quest because I totally forgot about it and drat, I am level 16, if I knew the lucky 38 was supposed to be your homebase upon arriving on the strip I would have gotten into it ages ago

There is a bug where the faction association isn't taken off when you remove the faction armor. The quick solution to this is to equip the armor and unequip it again to reset the tags.

I got that with Khan armour on like my second playthrough. I didn't know there was a fix so I started over 10 or so hours in and never touched faction armour again

haha, the jankyness is real

by the way, the save problem wasn't with mods or anything like that, I thought they got corrupted but there seems to be a load issue across all versions where it gets stuck loading the save for some reason, but when you start a new game and load your save it works just fine; anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the help :)

Assuming no mods, the Lucky 38 is a terrible home base because you can't fast travel there, you need to go through like 4 loading screens. I always used either the Sink from OWB, or Novac, or a player house mod.

Boone is the top companion in New Vegas, and not just because of that weird glitch that causes him to do 110% damage (although that doesn't hurt).

Boone ruins my tendency to go triple agent on all the factions by drilling holes through legionnaires' heads.
When I finally pick a side and get vilified by the Legion, though, you bet your rear end he's the one I take to go raid the Fort.

I also buy like 50k caps worth of C4 and place them in key spots in Cottonwood Cove and the Fort some twenty hours before I actually attack it, so that when I decide to kill Caesar I just press a button and get 1500xp.

I got Run The Lucky 38, The New Bison Steve, and a mod that allows for higher betting limits at the tables, then made a character with 10 Luck and used blackjack to fund my casinos. I've basically got unlimited cash now because I have tens of thousands of caps per day in income.

Turns out the real secret to winning at New Vegas was to become a business owner.

Well, according to Fountain of Dreams not entirely. Kinda weird how they seem to have picked a Miami Vice motif for a series that was heavily inspired by the dawn of the Atomic Age though. Still, Looks like they put some solid effort into it.

Wonder of any of the games will ever make it down there in the main series - we already have our hosed up themepark but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of other fun poo poo to poke through. Some of the enemies, like the alligator deathclaw, look like they'd be right at home down there.

Fallout: Tactics 2 was rumoured to take place further south but I think that was more towards Louisiana and the Gulf than Florida.

I do a yearly airsoft Fallout LARP sort of thing that takes place in its own canon for Florida. They played off Walt Disney's original plans for EPCOT as a futuristic city working on experimental technology tested on the residents and set the main city for the field as the remains of that settlement, which was occupied by wealthy celebrities and scientists hiding from the Great War. There's an East Coast Brotherhood branch, the Sunshine Steel, which came into conflict with a group of technology-worshiping Russians whose repaired oil tanker crashed into the beach to try and invade in the name of finding more tech. There's been some efforts for someone to come in a "gatorclaw" costume.

I think for Fallout Miami, if done seriously and not as an 80s aesthetic, you could play off the tiki craze of the 50s.

Honestly the main series at this point is mostly about the NCR moving East and the Humanis Policlub moving West.

Advance the timeline another hundred years and make it some big conflict in St Louis between the NCR and Brotherhood

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Taking a look at some of the stuff I run regularly...

Armor and Weapon Keywords Community Resource (mostly as a prerequisite for other mods)

Binary Speech Checks (makes checks more predictable like New Vegas)

Better Settlers (adds more settler variation, which you might appreciate if you do lots of settlements)

Bullet Time (what it says on the tin)

Critical Hits Outside of VATS

DEF_UI (makes organizing the garbage in this game much easier).

Faded Glory (really good alternate soundtrack).

Farming Resources (lets you buy chickens and rabbits that act as both a source of food and happiness on settlements).

Gear Up Nick Valentine (lets Nick wear armor)

IceBreaker (settlers have more to say so you hear fewer repeated lines always said the same way).

No Negative Affinity and No Affinity Cooldown (for when you just want approval with companions to go up)

Salvage Rewards (Adds shipments to "boss" chests so you get good material for crafting and settlements when you go dungeon diving).

Sim Settlements (adds so much to settlement building and lets it happen more or less on its own so you don't have to build every single wall and hang every decoration).

Smart MIRV (if you use the MIRV upgrade to the FatMan you may know it has a bug that was never fixed that makes it throw the bombs at your feet; this fixes that by making the MIRVs target seeking.)

Survival Mode Console Enabler (this game is too buggy to not have access to the console.)

The Mercenary Pack (really cool armors).

True Frags (adds shrapnel and more physics effects to grenades.)

I've got a bunch, and I really like these:

Companion Infinite Ammo
Everyone's Best Friend
Sim Settlements: Rise Of The Commonwealth
Push Away Companions
Real Nights With Real Lights
Real Catmeat (sometimes)
Unlocking Violence
Companion Tracker
Locksmith
Improved Map With Visible Roads
Pipboy Light Cast Shadows
Alert Carry
KeyNuker and KeyRing
Spring In The Commonwealth
Sleep or Save
Cheat Terminal (for if you absolutely have to be one of those console cheaterusing people)
Salvage Beacons
Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch
The Beantown Interiors Project
Holstered Weapons
Campsite (this one is an ingenious way to get around the Survival saving rules)
One Minuteman Radiant Quest At A Time
Backpacks of the Commonwealth
Radiant Quest Marker
Full Dialogue Interface
Keep Radiants In The Commonwealth
Overgrowth

Nothing incredibly major, I'm sure you could find a bunch more cosmetic mods that are to your personal taste.

Oh, instead of Full Dialogue, I use Extended Dialogue, which has some neat hooks so it can work with any content, including other random quests or companion mods you install, instead of needing to be specifically supported, which is how I understand Full Dialogue works. I know it works with the Secret of Huntress Manor quest mod, at least.

Does F4 modding help a lot in terms of getting the game to play by its strengths (from what you guys say it is a much better shooty experience for instance) or is more of minimizing how crappy things are? I thought about buying the goty edition later on, but given the opinions, it is way too expensive if its just to stroll around Boston in power armor exploding stuff and doing some 2/5ths minecraft on the side :frog:
