Fallout Fallout 4 Thread

[Average Manatee]

I think Bethesda took a peek at the achievements for different Steam games and they realized that if they don't include some kind of Press Awesome Button element really early in the game the general public would just drop it, or even worse, ask for a refund.

Power armor is the new Dragonshout. Gotta make the level 3 characters feel special.

So, you guys are level 18-20 after a couple days. I suppose that means you level up to 100 and become Good At Everything™

You are good at everything from the start. Bethesda has gone all the way to make everyone feel awesome. There's no real character building in the game.

I found 3 working power armors and plenty of fusion cores in the 3 hours I've spent on the game. The only good thing to come out of it is that I now want to replay New Vegas.

Bethesda's new engine goes out of its way to impress.

Beautiful.

Isn't there a place where I get re-spec my starting SPECIULZZ stats? I had the option before leaving the vault.. but I don't want the shitty choices I made now, because the game offered me no opportunity to know how shit it was gonna be

I tell you: one must still have chaos in oneself, to give birth to a dancing star. I tell you: you have still chaos in yourselves.

Alas! There comes the time when man will no longer give birth to any star. Alas! There comes the time of the most despicable man, who can no longer despise himself.

Lo! I show you the Last Man.

"What is love? What is creation? What is longing? What is a star?" -- so asks the Last Man, and blinks.

The earth has become small, and on it hops the Last Man, who makes everything small. His species is ineradicable as the flea; the Last Man lives longest.

"We have discovered happiness" -- say the Last Men, and they blink.

They have left the regions where it is hard to live; for they need warmth. One still loves one's neighbor and rubs against him; for one needs warmth.

Turning ill and being distrustful, they consider sinful: they walk warily. He is a fool who still stumbles over stones or men!

A little poison now and then: that makes for pleasant dreams. And much poison at the end for a pleasant death.

One still works, for work is a pastime. But one is careful lest the pastime should hurt one.

One no longer becomes poor or rich; both are too burdensome. Who still wants to rule? Who still wants to obey? Both are too burdensome.

No shepherd, and one herd! Everyone wants the same; everyone is the same: he who feels differently goes voluntarily into the madhouse.

"Formerly all the world was insane," -- say the subtlest of them, and they blink.

They are clever and know all that has happened: so there is no end to their derision. People still quarrel, but are soon reconciled -- otherwise it upsets their stomachs.

They have their little pleasures for the day, and their little pleasures for the night, but they have a regard for health.

"We have discovered happiness," -- say the Last Men, and they blink.

That's actually like pickpocketing Forsworn Briarhearts "briarheart" at Skyrim which kills them instantly.

Would not know, didn't play that shitty game long enough.

So with all this hate on crafting settlements -- do they actually do anything? Do they give resources to justify time/caps spent on buildings? Are they required for a quest? Anything?

 

[Frozen]

Do enemies spawn in Bethesda games?
Couple of times I found 1 ghoul and then out of nowhere 10 more emerges.

 

[Surf Solar]

Aside from the tutorial missions that are over in 5 minutes they are not mandatory. If you do use them they generate caps, crafting material and uncommon items for you.

Surplus water and food is stored in your crafting bench. So if your dump produces 10 water for 5 fags, the other 5 bottles of clean water are placed there. I think it resets on fast travel.
You can also build a scavenging table and assign a settler to it, produces neclectable amounts of random scrap.

I THINK linking your settlements shares also their food/water production, otherwise the prebuild farming settlements wouldn't make much sense. Haven't wasted a perk on it tho. In fact I blew all of my perkpoints on stuff I never use. Curse you semi-auto pistols/black widow/lockpicking!

On a related note: Dogmeat does NOT count as follower for the "Lone Wanderer" perk. Use him and still get bonus. Yay.

 

[GuiltyofBeingTrite]

Is there an overall conflict going on between factions?

You can use console commands to change them. Just use "player.setav strength 7" (just an example, replace with stat and value of your choice).

 

[Drax]

Which key are you using to bring up the console?
I tried all the keys I used in previous games and nada.

 

[Surf Solar]

Yes and none of them are the clearly superior choice. The BoS is not the goody two shoes faction as it was in FO3 either.

Seems like you are the tard here with your complaint about semi automatic weapons. I play it with a controller and have no problem aiming for the head of enemies. A hunting rifle or a beefed up 10mm pistol is all you need. Automatic weapons are crutches and waste too much ammo.

Well on German keyboard it's "Ö" which is... the third key to the right of the enter key. Middle letter row. Next to the "L" if that is the same everywhere.

So, Surf, you both like Fallout 4 and you play it with a controller?

Dast ist nicht richtig.

Soon I'll get it on PC myself so I can whine about horrible keymapping just as you guys

 

[Akratus]

Soon I'll get it on PC

And not even an inch of shame, showing us your true colors. Truly unerwuenschten.

 

[Kazuki]

Woah, looking the past of the guy who's shoot your wife/husband.

They mention not only NCR, start at 20:15 if you want to see a whole thing.

It's not my link obviously, I don't play Bethesda crap (NV being the only exception).

 

[Genma:TheDestroyer]

So I just killed a raider who was using a set of T-60 armor (isn't this like the most advance non-enclave power armor according to bethesda's lore?)

Holy shit. I thought the entire 'raider with power armor' thing people were talking about was a joke.

Hey, it's not like Power Armors are particularly that rare in the Boston area. I found my first set before even entering Concord. Took the locket quest from the Abernathy Farm and it pointed me in the direction of USAF Station Olivia. Almost directly to the left of Olivia is a crashed Vertibird and a T-45. Watch out for the insane amount of Mole Rats under the ground in the open field nearby. I honestly thought this was the armor that would tie in to the Concord quest so I took it back to Sanctuary and repaired it. Then left it behind. Nope, armor on the roof. Garvey and I gave the Deathclaw some long-distance dental laser surgery and I took the PA pieces I was missing with me. Leaving the Concord armor on the roof like an abandoned puppy. Also, totally avoided Dogmeat at Red Rocket.


Anyway, painted my now compete T-45 Flame Red because DA RED WUNZ GO FASTA!1! Agility +1




Now what was it several people said back when we first heard about the greasers in-game who collect and tune Power Armors? "Why haven't they started carving out territory for themselves?" Why, that's what the enterprising young man anus_pounder encountered was trying to do. Problem is he A) only had part of a rundown, likely non-repaired suit so his defenses aren't going to be the greatest. B) He's a Bethesda raider, so his Intelligence probably falls somewhere around a common rutabaga.

I get the feeling that your "brother" isn't playing as much as you do.
