Anime Fallout 4 - essential mods

[Ol' Willy]

Also 'FA4' what does the 'A' stand for, exactly?

Fagout 4

Fall Autumn 4: The redundancy

I was watching LGR on FA4 and I noticed.... its just a shooter. VATS gives you bullet-time essentually? There are like 6 add-on packs? I guess you pay for each? Is this game like a steam-client in that I have to be online to even load and play or just to install?

I get the feeling to just avoid it.

It's got much better shooting than 3, at any rate. It's still not Far Cry but it's getting there if they go much further in simplifying it. It's a normal Steam game, not an online service. Are you thinking of Fallout 76? The expansion is actually some of the best stuff in the game, forget the name. The smaller DLCs are meh.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Wonder why it hasn't been ported to gog. Ah well, steam is fine.

 

[Phinx]

No need for mods. Just ask TemplarGR what type of drugs he's on.

The unfortunate truth is that that actual "game" underneath is so barebones that no amount of modding can fix it, or really make it at all that interesting. It is somehow inferior to even Skyrim in this regard. The quality of the combat is better than any previous Bethesda game, but the variety in which you can approach situations is really so restrictive that there's no point, and it doesn't have the breadth of mods which Skyrim does after nearly a decade as one of the most popular PC games of all time. I can really only recommend it if you want to do tacticool LARPing on account of all the high quality weapon mods, but even then they're a pain to install because very little of the best mods have been put into mod packs.

Yeah, it seems like weapon and power armor customization is big. Does FO4 have more base building and crafting or scavenging than before? I've been on the fence for Skyrim as well. With the latest Morrowind enhancement by modding community I almost feel meh about that as well.

Base building is clunky and completely pointless. They should rather have invested those development resources into making more than one fucking city.
As an RPG Fallout 4 completely fails, however it can be an ok looter shooter for a few hours, if you ignore the story. But at that point you might as well play Borderlands.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Well, these steam summer sale had a bundled bundle of Skyrim and Fo4. For the price; I figured "why the hell not." I think my Dad would be interested in it since he liked FO3.

I don't recommend any mods for first-timers to Fallout 4.
If you want a challenge use the official Survival difficulty since it introduces beds as save points and stims that heal over time.

If you feel the world is too generous with resources, then maybe you should find those scarcity mods that change the world loot table.

The modding scene of F4 is nauseating, but I was extremely bored at the time so I did try... Installed the horizon overhaul, full dialog interface, various other gameplay immersion mods, as well as some graphic mods to make the game feel less like hello kitty and started the game on survival.

Full dialog interface makes things even worse because the writing is cringy AF and most times you can only choose to say the exact same thing just in a differently retarded kind of way - pardon my language. Horizon improved gameplay a lot, but it couldn't do anything about the game being filled with crappy quests, or horrendous level design. It kind of improved character development too adding some pseudo-skills, but shit still tastes like shit even whipped cream on top of it. So yes, the only mod you need is uninstall.exe.

I'm trying Horizons at the moment and can confirm it's not going to be palatable to newcomers because it's just too focused on crafting. The first two hours I was trapped in this 'loot-scrap-net loss' cycle then realized this is all just fabricated struggle because I'm forever stuck in noob area with no access to store vendors.

What about this one?

I think the base building is expanded upon a lot with some of the big settlement mods - my problem is that it was still impossible to fix problems with the base game relating to it. For instance, there STILL isn't a mod with properly restores the roofs in Sanctuary without breaking AI pathing etc. despite that being one of the first things you would OBVIOUSLY do if you were going to move into these building on a permanent basis. A lot of incompatibility too - Sim Settlements reportedly had a tendency to shit itself if you modified any of the vanilla settlement stuff, since it relied so heavily on the vanilla assets being unmodified.

I don't think it's even an issue unless you keep playing the game in third person for vanity camera.

 

[Wulfric Pinewood]

Good thing to do when you have base game and all dlc's is to make one complete walkthrough,
without mods even Sim Settlements, without that nexus shit vortex ,
and at the end of the day feel empty, dirty, bored to death ,
come back to Codex to be smashed even more by all degenerates that dwells here.

If you spend your money on Fagout 4 and all its DLCs you deserve to be smashed.

there is impressive stuff on author's youtube channel. DR/DT, select-fire, and weapons condition system.

I tend to switch between third and first person if I'm just wandering around the overworld, so I will admit that when I first installed FO4 earlier this year I was totally shocked that it wasn't a feature by default. It had been a feature in Bethesda games since Oblivion, for goodness' sake.

Wait a second, weapons in Fallout 4 just disappeared on the character when holstering them?

 

[d1r]

Wonder how long it will them take for two holstered weapons in this game.

Meanwhile in NV

I hate it when games don't show holstered firearms. That's one of the things I really liked about the recent Resident Evil remakes. Small thing, but it's really nice to see all your characters weapons carried and actually dynamically change to what you have in your inventory.

 

[Wunderbar]

Probably has something to do with the new modular system where each gun is a compilation of weapon parts and attachments.

iirc, it's actually to do with the animations being more complex, so it's not quite so easy to just stick the model on the character's back. The modification system is probably partially responsible too, though. There had been attempts to make it work previously, but the model would often lag behind the character/not be properly attached etc.

 

[RK47]

They really need to trim these 'overhaul' mods a bit.
I like bits n pieces of Horizons where they made healing not that cheap.
Bandages are out of combat only.
Combat stims are expensive.
Ammo is scarce.

Settlement crap, not so much. The settlement needing you to babysit just puts Preston and gang in a very sad light.
Clean food & drink needing extra resource (somewhat rarer) is ok... but I decided it's not worth the hassle and just went straight for cannibal perk.

 

[Yosharian]

So the Cannibal perk is actually worth something, I'd say the mod is doing it's job

I agree Horizon does suffer from feature creep though
