survival mode ruined this game for me

Explain?

It has features I wanted to play with, such as no fast travel, thirst and hunger, and reviving allies using stimpacks or repair kits, decreased weight limit, and ammo weight. But they tacked on extra tedium shit nobody asked for, like stimpacks causing critical dehydration and sickness & diseases at random. New Vegas did it much better. Also the save system is terrible and it cripples the game. Dying and completely losing 60 minutes of gameplay is just too punishing. Some RPG's would penalize you with XP loss or something like that, but with this you flat out lose all progress. When I play, it's like 1 step forward and 1 step back, every time. An autosave on a 5 - 10 minute interval would have been more fair..

Survival Mode is pretty bad, to be honest, mostly for 2 things: The Auto-Save and Quicksave function being butchered for a nap system, automatically a bad idea, and the other being the Fast Travel system being butchered. The only reason I saw Fast Travel being removed being a bad idea is just how...boring everything is in the middle of traveling from one destination to another. There's a real lack of substance inbetween the locations, and there's not enough creatures or enemies within them that make the moments exciting. I literally fell asleep before from trying to get to one point to another because of how dull it was.

As for the stimpak issue, it's the main reason I don't use it much at all unless I want to stack healing items to regen like crazy.

When players are getting bored exploring in your open world game and would rather quick travel to the other side of the map, you know you fucked up.

exactly the issue. Might be the copy-paste scenes and such, or the lack of enemies, unmarked locations with a story behind them, or creepy caves, I don't know, but something is wrong with Fallout 4's world in terms of traveling, among other things.

I know it doesn't excuse the crappiness, but there is one mod that keeps the challenge of being unable to save every five minutes and still let's you save if there are no beds around. I forget what it's called, but it adds recorder tapes around the wastes that are blank that let you record your adventures, aka save. But you can only use each one once.

Download Survival Auto-Save http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12580/?
or
Balanced Quicksave http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12906/? (this one removes all your adrenaline and can't be used in combat)

There is also a mod which removes penalizing effects from drugs but introduces AP debuffs to Stimpacks and Rad-X. But I like the fact they enforced decisions with that; take RadAway to have more Max HP and be exhausted with huge STR penalty and suppressed immunity or not?

Oh. Well mods should be getting there in about 2277.

OMG this is face palming stupid. This is exactly the type of stuff you would expect someone to do who has way to much fucking time on their hands.
Imagine what you could do with that time instead. Read a book, learn an art skill, make a fucking mod of your own that actually matters and has an impact on a game.

What is the god damn point of these stupid player experiments?

 

[Wayward Son]

Learn coding and make your own game.

I like how people think "experiment" = "tell NPCs to do things". The point of a experiment is to draw conclusions, what kind of conclusions can you draw from a self-made experiment with no consequences at all?

Like Wayward Son said, we would need to learn coding and make our own games for experiments to make sense.

 

[DosBuster]

You know the whole workshop dlc stuff make sense when you watch this video:



I mean, if a large amount of people bought Horse Armor when it was twice the price on April 1st it's hard not to be tempted.

 

[Infinitron]

I can imagine the horse armor selling a lot simply because the concept of DLC was still novel in 2006.

 

[DosBuster]

This was in 2009, they doubled the price for april fools. Sales doubled.
