So is there a hard cap on what settlements have people on it and which one now can only be taken by a faction? Because I sure as poo poo ain't giving the railroad a loving Island with a lot of space to be their Mercer Safehouse. Or at least trade them something like that alley way settlement.

Reveilled posted:ending spoilers railroad/institute A large amount of  dealing with conversation tree content and terminal content:If you befriend Shaun and start calling him out on his behavior over the past sixty years he'll admit that yeah, the Institute's big problem is that for all their scientific achievements they don't share them with anyone. He also very grudgingly admits that they really hosed up on analyzing a lot of the problems they had to deal with when it came to the stuff they did reveal. Pretty much every scientific development that they've let loose into the Commonwealth has only been a net negative for its people. And most of that was the result of them not really getting how the people of the Commonwealth think or have to deal with day to day life. The FEV virus getting loose was the result of the previous rear end in a top hat of a director desperately trying to figure out how to make synthetic lifeforms and possibly the result of one rebellious scientist letting it loose. Given what's implied about that director either he or the cybernetics division head scream to be antagonists in an upcoming expansion. The Synths were ironically made to keep the Commonwealth unconcerned with the Institute's continued existence. The idea being that if they kept sending live agents to the surface people would start wondering what they were doing and where they were coming from. So they made a bunch of creepy robots. Which it turns out isn't good since at some point the Institute decided to graduate from doing scavenging and power supply runs with the robots to kidnapping people to do some social engineering to "guide" the Commonwealth to a position where they could reveal themselves and start revealing their inventions. Only, instead of having a bunch of white suited scientists or "faux raiders" coming out of the distance and snatching someone up, now they have a bunch of body doubles and creepy robots. Which leaves no doubt as to who is responsible and creates unnecessary paranoia. Worse still, the Robotics division head has what appears to have a god complex and is blatantly shouting down his underling's complaints that the Synths might have some level of sentience. A feeling that's spread to the rest of the Institute bar a few scientists by the time you show up. The Robotics division can also be revealed to be the ones responsible for Synths being murdering assholes when above ground. Synth Retention is lead by an rear end in a top hat as well for entirely different reason. I even noticed that they're also the ones that tend to speak up and say "No, lol, we're not doing that, gently caress you." when you try to suggest helping the surface. So they walked themselves into a situation where they have to be reclusive assholes to keep being reclusive assholes. And the only way out is to either eliminate the competition and control most of the Commonwealth or keep doing what they're doing now. Then you come around and start suggesting that maybe you should "fix" things and reveal yourselves. Of course if you're director you get to have some theoretical (Since the main quest stops right after that point.) control over Institute policies in the future. Basically, the heads of about two different divisions need to either be fired or lined up against the wall and shot for extreme incompetence. They're complete idiots and have hosed the entire Institute and Commonwealth over. Archonex fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Nov 19, 2015 |

So there's one place up on the high road where a guy has a little home away from home, and you read the notes and the girl is like "this is cool, but you know how drunk I get, im sure I'm gonna fall off the edge to my death" And I walked around and some cones near the ledge had tipped over, I look down, and yep, dead skeleton right there. I dropped down and it had a key back to some place I already had lockpicked down below

I love having the supply lines thing, when I need to clear an area and put up a beacon I just go in and clear it then fast travel back to my hub, send someone there on a supply run then fast travel back and build whatever I need.  Trick Question posted:I don't think it even breaks if you have like, an animal companion or something, only for dudes. I mean, I realize I could just pick them up and drop them again, but it just feels a bit awkward in practice. edit: seriously though I think if you take the top option while they're waiting around, they'll let you turn quests in. Preston wants me to say yes to going to the castle right now but the top option is "anything else?" and he rewards for finished quests and then gives another, if you choose that option on top of the diamond. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Nov 19, 2015 |

Is this the problem where they're all standing around basically doing nothing or is this just late at night when the shop is closed? Because the first can be fixed by just reassigning people and wait until they're wiping the table of the shop before they have items.

They only stay at the shop during normal working hours for NPCs, which is 8 am to 8 pm I believe. Also worth noting is that each shop will share its inventory with all other shops of that type in a settlement. So you can't just build a dozen weapon shops to get a ton of ammo from one place.

The main utility of them is having a couple vendors with 400+ caps on hand next to your storage that you can quickly fast travel to to dump poo poo off and buy things you need while building stuff. The passive caps they generate is absolutely useless, but a place to dump those 20 laser pistols in one go and pick up some ammo and glue is priceless.

Archonex posted:A large amount of I think where we disagree is that from everything we've seen from Fallout scientists, that sort of "what's an ethics committee?" mad science is the norm in the setting, not the exception. Just like how time has shown for the minutemen that as soon as their leader dies or disappears they'd break up into factions and infighting, I think time has shown for the institute that as soon as any potentially ethical leader dies or disappears, it's going to be straight back to killbots and supermutants. I have zero faith that the scientists of the institute will actually put up with a moral protagonist's "what if we didn't kill people for science?" attittude for more than six weeks before someone rigs the relay up to teleport you into a wall. Also they're all evil slave-owners and you don't try to reform a cancer, you excise it. By blowing up its nuclear reactor.

I find that they're really bad at actually manning their posts, and instead usually opt to follow their character-specific AI routines. Not what you really want for someone manning a shop or guard post. If this is the case for you, try using basic settlers instead and they should show up during the daytime.

Things I'd like to see changed with mods, off the top of my head from playing the game a bunch. Settlement related. - New things to build and settler cap raised. - New jobs for the settlers, with their names changing to reflect that, getting brewers for beer or hunters to collect meat and bones for the workshop. - All items between supply line workshops shared instead of just some items. - Random events instead of just the occasional attack, like a group of raiders saying they want to change their life and move into your town and can force them away or trust them and maybe have them backstab the base from the inside, or not. Perk related. - Lifegiver changed from 20/40/60 flat to 10/20/30 flat and 10/20/30% max HP. - Current local leader abilities changed to default, perk instead allows more settler jobs and expensive happiness/settler count increasing buildings. - Strongback gives +25 more carry weight on the last two perks. - Boring +10/20/30/40/50 perks like Refractor, Toughness, Rad resistant changed to something new. - Scrounger gives so much ammo and ammo is basically just bottlecaps you got to cash in first, would like to see a .001 weight to ammo or the sell price drastically reduced. - Lead belly would be worthwhile with a new vegas food and drink style system, just without dying from lack of either so you don't fast travel with your bag full of food and water and end up dead on arrival like in vegas. - Fourth level Lockpicking/Hacking automatically opening everything as soon as you touch them. - I'd like to just see endurance perks spruced up, almost every perk in endurance can just be replaced by using items, only real benefit is the base HP. Other stuff. - All outfits working with the leg/arm armor attachments, even if they have to be hidden because of clipping, your just wearing the coat over them or something. - Being able to use a melee weapon underwater and for there to be a rare chance of something scary showing up in the ocean, the ocean is just too none-threatening aside from rads and you get way too much radaway. - Little box in the weapon stats that tells you what a weapon counts as while you mod it so you know what perks it will fall under, I have a plasma flame thrower pistol and I have no idea what perk it falls under, gunslinger? auto? ... heavy like the other flamer?
