It absolutely was possible to break locks if you hosed up.

Yep and you could use explosives on things to force it open once that happened.

It's not. Survivor is just the name of the highest difficulty setting. It doesn't track food/water/sleep or anything of that sort.

so it just makes enemies bullet sponges?

980ti 144hz user chiming in here with my experience: solid 144 fps in game on ultra up until the overseer terminal, at which point you encounter a bug and cannot move away from it after exiting. I had to disable g-sync to get it working.

what resolution bro?

I've ran into two bugs a lot:

1. when you use something, your char auto paths to it and if there's an object in the way you're hosed
2. terminals lock you in place

Other than that the game is good, plays on ultra with a 280x. The new perk system sucks, the new weapons are garbage. that's my yelp review

Am I missing something in regards to radiation management? It's so easy to gain and the only ways I've found to deal with it are pretty rare so far, it honestly feels like it's supposed to go down over time or something instead of leaving me at half health unless I use one of my incredibly rare rad-aways(or get one of the radiation perks I suppose).

radaway is not rare you just needed to LOOT every bathroom mirror in the first town to stock up. those mirrors dont look like interactable objects so you might have missed a few

Yeah power station if you want to make changes to it but don't ever try to replace the fusion core from the front. Breaks your game

I'm pretty sure I just killed more raiders in the Corvega factory than there were in the entire city of New Vegas, holy poo poo. I was there a while. The raider with the Fat Man blew himself up though so I couldn't get the launcher; he and the gun flew off somewhere.

if its any consolation the next few missions to clear raiders are much easier and shorter.

i killed about a dozen legendary npcs and the loot is kinda terrible so far. Most notable item was a machete with +dmg to mirelurks from a super mutant.

they really need to fix the bug with the terminals locking you in place.

81 Damage per shot.

People complaining about Survival being bad because bullet sponge enemies are doing it wrong, kit your weapons out and use them to your advantage, armor piercing mods are great as well. I 2 shot legendaries.

I'd like to see that confirmed too, I'm probably not going to use anyone besides Dogmeat just because I don't care for wrangling companions.

This is how I roll too. So the lone wanderer perk works with dogmeat I can confirm it because my carry weight did go up with dogmeat following me. Lost the carry weight bonus as soon as I got another companion.

It's a great perk all around.

Does this work with Codsworth too? Or is he too "human"?

Do all companions have the same inventory size? Codsworth's limit seems to be 150lb.

I would say no? I got a similar robot companion from vault 81 and that's when I noticed I lost the carry weight bonus.

I know, I have a camo undershirt and I have some legendary armor pieces with bonuses.

But even then, this guy wearing a camo t-shirt with a rickity metal cage on top or some leather straps appears to be much much worse suited to the wasteland than when I'm just wearing a duster coat and a nice sealed helmet.

My problem is that I don't have enough options for the piecemeal armor right now, they all look hilariously ramshackle. Meanwhile there's several sets of clothing that look just fine and complete, but they offer basically zero protection.

The full-suit armor needs a major buff to be competitive.

Alternatively just give me a loving transmog system so I can look how I want while still having decent stats. You'd think an armor crafting system would let you do that, but this is very limited.


Exactly. Full armor is massively massively undertuned.

I feel the same way, i dont play 3rd person so i dont know why i care but i hate running around looking a junkyard on two legs.

What the gently caress are you idiots bitching about armor for when you should just be inside a suit of Power Armor?

Game is easy enough on survival, dont need to make it trivial. i would take a mod that instantly opens locked doors and terminals as long as you have the perks. that poo poo is just a waste of time

Frankenoodle posted:

Genuine question: How can you say this? On Survival, a pack of 3 ghouls will instagib me if it weren't for Dogmeat distracting them as I shoot them with 65 laser blasts. I sometimes need to use every tactic and drug at my disposal just to live. That Corvega factory was especially intense. I had to bait them and use mines and molotov cocktails. In a straight up fight, two or three raiders will just kill me. I can usually get one in VATS before I really start hurting, and if there are two left when I'm out of AP, it's not a fight I'm going to win.

What are you doing differently that makes it easy?

In Fallout 3 and NV, the game eventually got easy when I had a killer Shishkebab or a .50 Sniper Rifle, but in Fallout 4 at level 10 or so, Survival is a bitch.

So it seems that the ai will stop rushing you if there's enough world geometry between you two. If I trigger a fight I just back the gently caress up a couple hundred feet and take cover and take potshots with non automatic weapons. Eat food during fights. Let dog be stupid and distract me. General idea is take your time. Ghoul ambushes I just reload and jump on top of objects so they can't reach. Super mutants just snipe em. Snipe everything.

so i've been base building in sanctuary a little and i've never been very creative with stuff like this. what would help me tremendously is a command to delete static objects. anyone know of one? I just found out about ScrapAll which makes cleaning up new settlements much easier but this leaves buildings and stuff in place. I want to get rid of houses in sanctuary.

I'm pretty drat bored with the game 30 hours in. There just feels like there's nothing more fun to do. I followed the main quest until I got inside the institute, then lost interest in it. Roaming around and clearing the same drat banding camps is getting really stale too. I think I've explored all of the map too by this point (not been inside every building obviously). Is there really anything more to the game than collecting loving duct tape, trying out a new weapon mod and then going back to the SIXCRANK MUSKET

I don't get it. I've replayed F1, F2 and Fallout: Tactics dozens of times and loved Fallout 3 (probably spent 500+ hours). New Vegas was constantly crashing on me so I just rushed the mainquest so no opinion on that :v:

1. game is pretty formulaic
2. you're getting old
3. download mods
