fallout-4-chat

[fading linden]

It never gets old 💀

[grave pecan]

Something like that happened to me if you looks videos and screenshots

[fading linden]

Where can I find them?

[grave pecan]

#screenshots-and-video

#screenshots-and-video this one idk why it took me to elder scrolls

[fading linden]

Is assaultron killable in higher levels?

[grave pecan]

Yes they do become invisible more often though and have assultron blades instead bot little grippers

[fading linden]

What 💀

Is assaultron hackable when it is invisible?

[grave pecan]

Yes thankfully

[fading linden]

That can save me 💀

[grave pecan]

There so op on you’re side

[fading linden]

Is invisible assaultrons craftable in workbench?

[grave pecan]

Nah I wish but you can basically make a assultron if you have the DLC and give them perks like hacking and lock picking and healing

[fading linden]

Ok dude 🙏🙏

[grave pecan]

Anyone know how to make the game tougher? I’m on very hard I would put it survival but I hate not being able to tp and I need food water and sleep to save also without mods?

[lilac saffron]

time to game

i wish the merchants/traders didnt reset on their caps tbh. like if i bought stuff from them and i come back 2 days later i would want their cap balance to be accumulated rather than for their cap balance to reset back to their default.

maybe theres a mod for that, but im not gonna mod until i get all achievments

nvm bro i still have my 100hr lvl 50 save.
i guess when you make a new game it creates a whole new save section for that new game specifically.

i thought i overwrote it lol. but nah

the save has 3 days, 23 hours and 39 minutes 😄

[north needle]

Holotapes volume is way to low compared to the rest of the game. I have everything in game and in the pc at max and i struggle a lot to heard them. And ofc i cant play normal with everything at 100%. Is there something im missing?

[lilac saffron]

Do you have mods installed that affect sound?

[north needle]

No mods, i still getting achievements

[lilac saffron]

From what I’m gathering on Steam and Reddit is that the Holotapes are naturally quiet in the game. Only way to fix it is mods. That’s what I’m reading but it doesn’t hurt to ask in #fallout-support

[prime lotus]

So I’m just getting into settlement building in Fo4, does local leader allow other settlements to have food without me growing farms/crops?

[flint nest]

as long as you have enough crops in one settlement and then have other settlements linked via supply line to that settlement thats growing all the crops, it should

[lilac saffron]

I think turning down a lot of stuff except Voice will help immensely

I think Holotapes, like people, are affected by that. Otherwise, I'd just turn on General Subtitles and Dialogue Subtitles, since those make it easier to read (and your brain can stitch together the sounds better when you have a read reference) and thus easier to listen to.

[north needle]

i dont think it will make any difference bcause, while i didnt tried it, i did tried to go to places with no sound (turning music off) and still barely can heard them. But i didnt knew there is a subtitles option! That would be super usefull, i will search for it.

[lilac saffron]

Question, will Automatrons working on a farm be destroyed when turning it into a Vassal Settlement?

[lilac saffron]

once i get all the trophies for fallout 4 vanilla. ill get the first dlc.

[fading linden]

Nice dude 👍👍

[lilac saffron]

hell yea

i got happy once i found out my save didnt delete. ruined my whole day when i thought it did lol

[fading linden]

is there any mod available in fallout 4 that would allow me to start a new radio signal and broadcast my own imported songs to the game?

[lilac saffron]

If you don’t know how to already you’re probably going to have to get in contact with a mod author that already has done what you want to do. See if you can contact them and ask for some tips and such to help you create your own radio station.

[fading linden]

ok dude🙏

[lilac saffron]

Can anyone on PS5 or Xbox Series X go into Settings > Gameplay and scroll down and tell me if it says "Pip-Boy App Enabled"

I would check myself but I do not have any of those consoles, any help would be greatly appreciated!

[proven bluff]

Does fallout 4 anniversary edition have all the DLCs?

[scarlet sky]

Man they never supported that stuff. You cant even get the app anymore

They kept the setting though

[lilac saffron]

You can get the app via external sources, but I did some research and I think it's still supported by Xbox One (Only example I found that was recently, 2021)

I just wanted to see if the newer consoles still had the option as it would open the endpoints.

[scarlet sky]

I think so

Im pretty sure the setting is still there on pc

[lilac saffron]

Then it still works I presume.

[proven bluff]

I bought it a long time ago, but i just downloaded it, yet it only says 35GBs

[scarlet sky]

Well i lost the app

[lilac saffron]

It is, I used the app yesterday, worked just fine. I tested it on PC of course.

[proven bluff]

I thought full game w/all DLCs is much more than that

[scarlet sky]

So havnt tried it in a while never thought to get it somewhere else

[lilac saffron]

No, 35gb sounds about right.

My install is 35.0gb

[scarlet sky]

Legit

[lilac saffron]

Yeah you can just search google for the APK.

[scarlet sky]

biggest reason i stopped using it though was that the dlc maps didn't work on the app

i remember for sure far harbor didn't work

did those problems get fixed at all?

[lilac saffron]

Most likely not, the app hasn't been updated since like... 2015-2016

[scarlet sky]

Dang

[fading linden]

I've heard that rust devils will attack my settlements even if I have only one automatron in my settlement

So if I have Codsworth/Curie/Ada in my settlement, will the game consider them to be as an automatron or not?

[scarlet sky]

Wowwwwww

Im no legal counsil but i kinda think thats pushing it

[crisp stream]

I think its when you specifically build one

Codsworth and Curie are base game unique NPCs, and Ada is a unique Automatron NPC, so I think it only applies to the generic Automatron companion you can build

Don't quote me on that

[glad fulcrum]

It is a shame that pipe weapons aren’t viable in 4

I saw itsjabo talk about it and I do wish you didn’t get the 10mm and the power armor at the start of the game

If would be more fun finding the power armor or receiving it by the brotherhood at a certain rank

[scarlet sky]

Arent viable? The 10mm ammo doesnt last forever. And honestly playing on survival i usually end up with a pipe weapon for a while at the beginning bc i end up getting more ammo for those

[hidden sun]

10mm is perfectly viable at level 1, you do get it in the vault during the Fallout 3 intro

[zealous folio]

Just started a new game, why won’t codsworth respond?

[grave pecan]

Guess he don’t like you

[blazing swallow]

Out of nowhere poorly researched theory, either First or Big Mac is Arlen's daughter hence super mutants seeming interest in the giddy up buttercup places

[lilac saffron]

Can someone help me verify the answer to this?

[slate rock]

you gotta love fallout 4

[severe berry]

You might have to start a new game.... Generally, I can recommend to do manual saves often. Especially after doing everything in the vault and before leaving it. Doing that much can save you from having to go all the way through the beginning again. If you have a save like this, try loading that and go straight to Codsworth without exploring any houses to see what happens. If not, start a new game and after leaving the vault and arriving in Sanctuary, do not do anything like exploring houses or killing stuff until you've talked to Codsworth. If that doesn't help, then you should probably check out the #fallout-support channel and let them know what you have tried, what system you are on, and if you have any Mods installed. Hope this helps.

[opal stone]

I loved playing Fallout 4 VR so I could just repeatedly punch Preston in his annoying face every time I heard "another settlement needs your help"

[grave pecan]

Opinions on old long fellow?

[scarlet sky]

Hes a badass

Seriously you want him on that island

He has special interactions

Although nick def has special interactions as well

[fading linden]

Ok dude 🙏🙏

If I dismiss Ada without giving her a location, then where does she go?

[fading linden]

Think about the guy who just have one endurance at start 💀

The fight at the Concord is a necessary one at marketing point of view

[fading linden]

Load the commonwealth auto save which you might be having one

[grave pecan]

Is there a way to get extra sets of the hellfire power armour or a extra set of XO-2?

[pure sigil]

Only with mods or console commands.

[limber tinsel]

I’m pretty sure the Atom Cats start selling the Hellfire armor after you get it. X-02 I’m not sure about. You could always do the glitch with conveyor belts to duplicate them.

[grave pecan]

I’ll have to look thanks

[lilac saffron]

I'm playing and I just spent the past 5-6 hours without the radio on. No wonder it felt so boring, tuned it to DCR and boom, a good time! Feels very refreshing.

[scarlet sky]

An XO_2 suit is in nuka world.

[stone moat]

West virginia.... mountain mama, take me home, country roads.. fades to black

[grave pecan]

Where!

[scarlet sky]

@grave pecan sorry man i have the spoilers integrity, i simply can't tell ya. i would NEVER want to deprive you of figuring it out yourself

[grave pecan]

I’ve done everything in nuka world I must’ve missed it tell me my boy 🧐

[scarlet sky]

@grave pecan don't be looking it up either

[grave pecan]

Can I have a clue?

[scarlet sky]

hmmmmmmm

[grave pecan]

Spill the tea c’mon

[scarlet sky]

okay the clue is it was a prewar-promotional gimmick

and you obv didn't do EVERYTHING lol

[stone moat]

Oh heavens...

[grave pecan]

Welp I did quite a chunk of exploring going to all the teleport locations is it a TP point or just a random building?

[scarlet sky]

and none of you peeps in here even think about telling him

[stone moat]

I want to but I can't 😢 😭

[grave pecan]

Cmon babes

[stone moat]

It'll destroy the experience.

[scarlet sky]

good hold your tongues

lol

okay heres another hint, when i found it, it was completely by accident

[stone moat]

I can't fit my whole hand in my mouth so that would be impossible.

[grave pecan]

That’s not useful whatsoever 😭

[scarlet sky]

the first clue is actually pretty telling

[grave pecan]

You got me out here searching this big map

[scarlet sky]

good

[stone moat]

Can I please tell them?

[scarlet sky]

NO!!!!! if you do i will eat your soul

[stone moat]

Mb!

[scarlet sky]

its apperently one of the few secrets not a lot of people know about

and its a hard one i guess

[lilac saffron]

Is there any indication when the next gen update is coming out besides 2023?

[crisp stream]

no

it's just 2023. Could be tomorrow, could be yesterday or even right now

personally, we should ask mama murphy. She would know

They will release it when it's ready. Quit pestering them

[scarlet sky]

which i would understand better if they threw us some newsy bones here

[lilac saffron]

its my first time asking but thanks

[crisp stream]

Sorry, I didn't mean to direct that at ya. Just meant in general

There's just nothing to really go off of besides 2023

[vague basin]

I'm sure they'll let us know when they have something.

[grave pecan]

Hopefully 🤞

At what days of the year do they mark down cc mods to 0$

[sturdy viper]

April 1st is the only day I know of, coincidence is...it's the same day the Next Gen update is going to release.

[lilac saffron]

anyone know how to fix bugged storyline? ive tried 3 mods with no success

using xbox, if that matters

[sturdy viper]

Might help with you stated which part of the storyline is bugged because there are several parts that are bugged not just one

[lilac saffron]

my mistake.

1. Codsworth dialogue never triggered, so he just floats around and never responds to me trying to trigger dialogue.
   2.I killed all the raiders and deathclaw in town, but Preston thinks theres still more and wont progress.

a way to fix it, or even just force the game to auto-progress past it, would be appreciated.

[sturdy viper]

Search...holotape of quest-fixing on bethesda.net.

[scarlet sky]

i see what the problem is, its an xbox lol jk

[limber tinsel]

Are you using the “Tunnel Snakes Rule” CC? I commonly get these issues if I have that installed. Sometimes closing Fallout 4 then hard restarting the Xbox will cause Codsworth to fix, but most of the time I just start a new game with less mods/CC.

[grave pecan]

Why is paladin Danse the goat like he is just HIM

[grave temple]

Hello all! Just downloaded FO4 on my new PC and im having some issues with some of the mods from the in-game mod section. I have all the addons including the updated texture pack and it says "This mod cannot be installed because there are missing required files." Ive already tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling, ive tried modifying the "Fallout4Perfs.ini" and the "Fallout4Custom.ini" folders but still nothing. I have EVERY SINGLE ADD-ON they have released!!! Please Help!!

[proven elm]

Some mods have other mods as requirements. Make sure you have installed those other mods.

Also, the best place to discuss mods is in our mods channel. #1067505929534320700

[lilac saffron]

nope. dont even know what that is. i didnt start installing mods until after the game bugged twice

[lilac saffron]

i have that, but i couldnt figure out where it went in my inventory

[lilac saffron]

real

watching him just tank shot after shot at ArcJet

[grave pecan]

I’ve never seen him go down it’s amazing

Does anyone know if I can reclaim a settlement if I let the raiders have it

[lilac saffron]

kill the raiders?

i would imagine purging the raiders would reset the workbench for claiming

wish i knew more. installed so many loot mods i think all my settlements one-shot raiders.

my game is broken as hell lol.
but, back on topic, i doubt bethesda would say 'suck it loser' and not allow you to reclaim.

[grave pecan]

I think I might just kill all the raider leaders the caps are nice like very nice but I want my stuff back

[lilac saffron]

fair goals

vats the morons

[magic current]

so lemme ask this is i tell the brotherhood that i wont kill danse im still allowed to enter BOS places just not WITH danse?

or is it a keep him on a leash type deal

[flint nest]

iirc, yea, its you are allowed to enter any BOS place but not with Danse, if you do its a temporary attack on sight until you dismiss Danse or you get far enough away from the BOS NPCs

additionally, im pretty sure if any BOS patrols spot you on your adventures with Danse they will attack too

[magic current]

hmm wonder if theres a mod thats stops this behaviour

[flint nest]

last year in October alot of CC mods where free for the anniversary of Fallout

chinese stealth suit, Arcade Workshop pack, prototype gauss rifle, Nuka Cola collector workshop, and Modern furniture, home Decor workshop packs, and i think the customizable vault jumpsuits, where all free

in regards to normal just updates, Every 2 weeks they update the freebies/sales, usually the freebies are power armor, armor, weapon or pip-boy skins, rarely anything besides those are free unless theres a special event going on, like the previously mentioned Anniversary of Fallout

[magic current]

im guessing danse and the other companions will never fight each other right so i could send him to my companion settlement

[flint nest]

yea, they never fight, at least from what i remember, due to a Mod i have Danse (annoyingly) stays on board the Prydwen until i manually set a home for him (and other companions) via the mods holotape, and im not that far along in the BOS questline yet where the BOS knows hes a synth otherwise i'd check

am getting there tho

but even if they did fight, all companions are essential so they cant die from you or other companions

the only exception to this, not including confronting Danse after Elder Maxson tells you to kill him, i think is just Porter Gage if you decide to do Open Season and kill all the raider bosses

[magic current]

hold on.... so they let me walk around fine with nick... but they draw the line at danse? like hes one of their own

[crisp stream]

yep

i imagine its to not be annoying. If Nick, Hancock, Curie, Strong and X6-88 were also KOS,then it would be pretty annoying

[north needle]

i was told u cant enter the railroad with X6-88 neither. I didnt tried because of that.

[flint nest]

tbh, i dont think many people would know that Curie is a synth, the only ones being the Sole Survivor, Glory, Amari, and Curie herself, maybe whats her face upstairs and the Railroad, since shes not officially part of the BOS, i dont think she'll be found out like Danse was thru medical records, feel like it would be similar for X6-88, tho from a lore perspective ig that depends on how much intel the BOS have on coursers, if they know what a courser uniform looks like then nah,

[proven bluff]

I am doing a commando vanilla run, where is the nearest Machinegun?

[grave pecan]

Although the BOS that defend the site’s actually won’t attack you or danse and are friendly for some reason

[lilac saffron]

anyone know where an x1 power armor is. i may have borked a mod and gotten all the armor, but not the frame

[lilac saffron]

If you have all the pieces but not the frame just stick them on any frame?

[tribal sky]

Any ideas on when update will come through

[untold furnace]

Good thinking Elder Maxson.

[grave pecan]

Already done Preston you got a settlement I need to help?

[grave pecan]

Someone said April 1st in the chat no clue if that’s true though

[grave pecan]

There’s usually a full xo-1 suit in a big green building in the city if you’re higher lvl than like 20 there’s also one left side of glowing sea in a bunker at the bottem

[lilac saffron]

i tried, they dont go on a t-45 frame

[lilac saffron]

thanks. not level 20, but ive modded in infinite skill points and have almost everything, so ill try that out

[lilac saffron]

is there a reason why the brotherhood is attacking me? i dont recall ever attackign them and i remember helping them against some ghouls before by some ruined buildings.
and i havent got to the point in the game where i have to choose which faction i will be aligned to.

maybe i punched one of them in accident or something? what could be a reason why they are attacking me?

[flint nest]

do you have Danse with you?

cause if you have Danse with you and have done his story/quest (||where elder Maxson asked you to kill him cause hes a synth||) that would be the reason

[lilac saffron]

no i dont have danse with me. i have never interacted with the brotherhood yet. but i just reached mass fusion and it told me that if i go forward with the relay that i will permenently become an enemy to the brotherhood of steel, so i take that im not an actual enemy of the brotherhood of steel yet then?

i also still have the introduction mission to the brotherhood where i have to first speak to danse. i havent started yet, if i were an enemy i would think this mission would have been failed already right?

[fading linden]

How many unique variants of power Armor ar present in the Fallout 4 game? Like Nuka cola T-51 and Quantum X-01

[grave pecan]

Maybe because you didn’t help danse at arcjet yet? If you did and said you’d join and killed Kellogg’s and took the vertiberd you should be allies

[grave pecan]

Theres a VIM T-51

[lilac saffron]

nah i killed kellog but it wasnt through the brotherhood. havent been in a vertiberd yet.
but im assuming that we arent permenant enemies because i would think the danse quest that i have would have failed by now if we were. and plus at the mass fusion relay at the institute it tells me that if i go forward with it the brotherhood will then be my permanent enemy.

i think we are still in good terms. if i go through with the danse quest i think we will be alright

i still have the danse quest.

[grave pecan]

Go to the police station where danse is do his quest it’s pretty quick and then you can ride the vertiberd to the prydwen

And then you will meet me☺️

[lilac saffron]

yeah, ive done that before on a different save.
i was just wondering why the brotherhood is attacking me

yeah i already met elder maxson lol, he's a cool dude

[grave pecan]

Yeah usually I do danses quest pretty early I’ve never not done it before the brotherhood show

[lilac saffron]

yeah, im trying to get the last 4 trophies/achievments in 1 game. im saving the game before the story splits that way i can go back to the save and beat the game with brotherhood, railroad and institute so i can get the last achievments.
so i was wondering if i was gonna have to start a whole new save to do the brotherhood playthrough for the achievment since they are attacking me right now and i wont be able to ally with them lol.

[grave pecan]

Yeah you’re in a pretty good spot you can easily get those 4 last achievements

[fading linden]

Ok dude 🙏
Haven't visited Far Harbor yet

Oversboss power Armor is also unique one I think so

Maxson's power Armor is also very unique

Heard of a Tesla power Armor but don't know how to get it

[grave pecan]

You need the robot DLC just after you meet ADA and recover the first thing from a robobrain she’ll mark a satellite where a girl will be wearing it with a assaultron

[fading linden]

Thank you for telling dude 🙏

[fading linden]

You need creation club for x02

Also it won't spawn in nuka world

Theres a X-o2 suit in nuka world dont believe this malarkey lol

[grave pecan]

[scarlet sky]

seriously?! how many people don't know about this?

the suit was like one of the first things i found

and honestly i havn't figured out how to actually get it yet

[grave pecan]

You sure you’re not on about the XO-1 suit?

[scarlet sky]

pretty sure?

hahaha mb we talked about the x01 in nukaworld earlier i wasn't really paying attention

there aren't any x-02s in fallout right?

[grave pecan]

Yes no XO-2 besides creation club

[scarlet sky]

my morning brain didn't catch on to which suit you were talking about lol

[grave pecan]

It’s ok shame tho

[grave pecan]

Guys if there was a thing to buy in the creation club it’s the sentinel companion he doesn’t actually take up a companion slot and his power armour takes 0 dmg and his weapon is a laser rifle is better than danses im pretty sure and he’s SUPER tanky I just fought swan and he took like 6 swings and 4 rocks and was still standing and I’m level 11 he so op

[scarlet sky]

a little too op holy crap

thats just ridiculous

Since they announced Starfields release date do you guys think they are gonna announce the fallout 4 update?

Idk chief they said sometime in 2023 they were gonna release it

Hopefully it's actually in 2023

Ima be disappointed if it comes out in 2024 cause on xbox its unplayable cause the downtown crash

[grave pecan]

I believe it’ll be 2023🤞

[sour socket]

I'm hoping they release it at the Starfield direct and just drop it then. I have to believe it comes out before Starfield. No way they want people playing Fallout and Starfield at the same time on release. They want maximum monies.

[grave pecan]

What do we all think is the easiest place to defend? All DLC’s included

[lilac saffron]

red rocket or the farm near it. made those two spots my main compound. red rocket is in a good spot, and the building itself is pretty small and open. the farm is already somewhat defended, all it needs is a good wall and some turrets

[grave pecan]

I was gonna get the settlement defence creation club and it spawn some very tough enemies so I need something very good and easy to defend red rocket ain’t bad actually 🧐

[lilac saffron]

with some stairs, you get roof access too

i was able to get a large metal building prefab up there with a decent bit of room left

[knotty granite]

What console are you on?

If your on ps there was a mod that would wall every settlement with only 1 entrance which made the defends easy peasy

[grave pecan]

PS5

I picked Warwick homestead there is no entrances besides the front because the rest it surrounded by water it’s fantastic

[knotty granite]

Look up I think it was called prewall settlements if I remember right

It should be huge concrete walls surrounding a settlement I think

[grave pecan]

I haven’t used mods yet because I’m tryna get the achievements

[knotty granite]

Oh then I wouldn't get it then

[sturdy viper]

You do know you can wall off a settlement but the attack spawn points are inside the settlement also you might want to watch this video....
https://youtu.be/BF0fMcYBD9A

[scarlet sky]

the best way i've found is no joke, STACKED sandbags. put them at any of the entrances of buildings at a settlement, or just use them in an area you know the settlers will take cover. and they'll last. any settlement i did good placement on defended itself every time i got the quest i didn't even have to do anything,
i play on survival btw

ps. don't forget the turrets keep them in front of the sandbag stacks towards the spawns

[lilac saffron]

oh yea, i maintain that place too. agreed, good spot

i got turrets in the windows, and a good wall around the part connected to land

[grave pecan]

I also got 3 guard dogs which I’m pretty sure you can buy infinite of the dude in far harbor that sells dogs

[scarlet sky]

the dog creation club kinda does that too except the CC dogs don't look all mangy lol

[lilac saffron]

i havent found far harbor yet lol

[scarlet sky]

its a trip bro

i've played a lot but i have never finished far harbor

kinda tense since i play survival, it really fs with your paranoia

[lilac saffron]

finish far harbor?

[scarlet sky]

ya know doo all the quests

[lilac saffron]

I thought it was a location

[scarlet sky]

find all the spots completionist stuff

[lilac saffron]

ah

[scarlet sky]

oh bro its a whole other map

its got an entire main story questline and everything

[lilac saffron]

oh, i dont have dlcs

[grave pecan]

It ain’t easy too I named a gun the bye bye gun (it’s a quantum nuke launcher) and a fog crawler only took like 40% health as a direct it

[scarlet sky]

nothing in the fallout universe has given me a harder time then those things

[grave pecan]

Same man idk what there health is but it’s outrageously high I think there the highest health enemy

[lilac saffron]

yea, i dont think ill get any dlcs for a while. gonna enjoy base game

[sturdy viper]

[scarlet sky]

They are one of the hard ones but they were easy as long as you didnt miss

I'm not going to ask this question as some sort of way to socialize. The idea is to answer a question How many of you don't play Survival?

I don't play on Survival mode in either Skyrim or Fallout 4.

so i just realised that baby Shaun in the prolouge can be different skin colors but dose that mean father/synth shaun also change their skin color based on the sole survivor i havent got a save thats able to check this

[lapis dirge]

I could see the FO4 update coming June 11th or at least around there. Part of a media blitz.

[lilac saffron]

[fading linden]

Will settlers consume chems if I stored it in workshop?

[grave pecan]

I just did a settlement raid they are TOUGH only one left standing is me and my commander 😭

[fading linden]

Settlement raid?

Saving settlement from raids?

[grave pecan]

The creation club thing you can summon raids in you’re settlement and waves of enemies will come at you I had super mutants they all had sledgehammers mini guns and rocket launcher

[fading linden]

Oh ok dude 👍👍

[fading linden]

What do you wanna say to the people who betray brotherhood for your coat?

[north needle]

i didnt played others fallout and i heard they are awesome in others, but in 4 the brotherhood are pretty lame and bad, i like more preston than the brotherhood and thats a looot. They look awesome i cant deny that.

[grave pecan]

I get it, my coat is pretty fresh I got all the drip

[fading linden]

Brotherhood got binded more to their protocol and started caring less about the common man in the commonwealth

Remember Proctor Teegan giving quests to takeover settlements, which is ridiculous by its idea (but the lore says he haven't explained Maxson about the plan to get good supplies for BOS, and simply got permission to execute his ideas)

Their idea of killing feral ghouls are good, but killing ghouls to avoid them turning ferals one day is little evil.

[fading linden]

💀👍

If I am Maxson, I wouldn't have imagined a vault boy pulling down the Prydwen for my coat.

[grave pecan]

Omggg I just got a unlimited double barrel HELL YES

[limber tinsel]

It would be nice if we could get an update on when this next-gen update (and assumed CC update, similar to Skyrim's AE edition) will come around...

[lilac saffron]

Will the new creation club content that is coming this year in the next gen Fallout 4 update being included if you have an Xbox One or not? Anyone know?

[limber tinsel]

They haven't confirmed or denied anything regarding this yet. They also haven't said if it's going to be a new upgrade similar to AE or if it's just an overall game update and new CC.

Fallout 4: Anakin Skywalker 420

I just put my as my actual name like a basic bit

[fading linden]

Do you watch avatar?

[lilac saffron]

Yeah. It’s my favorite tv series. Also the number one of Suki, Avatar Kyoshi, and Lin Beifong

prefer tla or tlok?

[fading linden]

Forgot who is Lin Beifong

[lilac saffron]

Toph’s daughter in the Legend of Korra and police chief of Republic City

[fading linden]

Is X-01 power armor a pre-war or post-war thing?

[fading linden]

Haven't watched legend ok kora😐

[lilac saffron]

It’s initially Pre-War as a prototype and then Enclave fully finished it on the Oil Rig I think

[fading linden]

Then how come the game have a functional quantum X-01 in nuka world?

[lilac saffron]

I think it’s one of the original pre-war designs. There weren’t many manufactured and then the Enclave came later and developed more on mass production. That’s what I think anyway.

[fading linden]

Sometimes Bethesda things don't make sense

Why would someone showcase a military equipment on a Children's park

[lilac saffron]

You have to remember that Galactic Zone was a way to show off new technology

[fading linden]

It would have made more sense if I could find the Armor in bradberton's vault

[lilac saffron]

Particularly military tech such as in the Robco Battlezone and the aforementioned Quantum X-01

fallout is set in like the 60s. much different time then now.

[fading linden]

And also the Robco robot show, I never thought to get stucked in the middle of a robot fight show

[fading linden]

Yeah it's a retro themed game, unique in every manner

[lilac saffron]

Well it’s set in what people in that time thought the future would be liked and not based on those times and this is a basic premise of Fallout that a lot of people get wrong.

exactly

the 60s were a time of the Red Scare and fear of nuclear war. Fallout is a representation of that future

[fading linden]

Still in the fear

[crisp stream]

50s more so. And it's not a concise thing in game, it's mostly just meta commentary by devs

[lilac saffron]

i know its never concise, im just making an estimate

[crisp stream]

Todd said this about it back in 2008
And the fact that we kind of had an alternate history helped a lot. So, because the Fallout universe splits around 1950, we could take great liberties. So, we have all these books in Washington D.C., so that the things that we’re ‘pre’ the time when we split, we’re careful about after that, if a certain thing was built after that, we try to actually not even have it, or we’ll build it in a different way, in a way that we think suits the game better and our excuse can be, “Oh, in our in timeline, they build it different”.

[lilac saffron]

mhm

[fading linden]

Does the additional bullet from every two shot weapons are affected by Gunslinger/commando/Riffleman/Heavy-weapons/Bloody-mess/perk-magazine etc?

[sturdy viper]

Just like you had to be trained in 3 and (Obsidian, New Vegas) to where you had to be trained to wearpower armor, but apparently in Interplays previous version anybody could, and for some reason Fallout 4 adapted that theory, I've only played since Fallout 3 but power armor used to be special....

Just saying⬆️

[fading linden]

Haven't played any Fallout PC game other than Fallout 4, and heard power armors are actual suits 💀

[crisp stream]

sometimes interplay things dont make sense either

[fading linden]

The servo powered power Armor now makes sense 🙏

[sturdy viper]

When Bethesda took over with Fallout 3, they announced several changes and everything else.. and I like the fact that the power armor was something you had to go through training for, same as in New Vegas you had to find Veronica and make her an ally, then all the sudden, they decided to drop all that and put a submarine patch on the back of it and anyone can wear power armor now.... that is my biggest complaint about Fallout 4, and the fact that if you take the helmet off IN POWER ARMOR...you're still stuck with that stupid HUD.

[crisp stream]

third person power armor animations also different from third person non power armor animations

but the power armor animations are not reflected into first person. While I wish it was, it'd be a pain to create power armor animation sets for first person

[sturdy viper]

No I'm just saying, in 3 and New Vegas if you took the helmet off, you weren't still stuck with that HUD, at least I think.

[fading linden]

In Fallout 4, you can see live targets even it is your companion who is actually wearing the helmet

[fading linden]

Wearing a power Armor and fighting a deathclaw at the very first of the game gives a good impression for the players

Also you can't ignore the people who will be recording their first playthrough and uploading it on youtube. The more positive response from first impression, more the number of sales.

[sturdy viper]

Yes, but when the deathclaw pops out and rips you to shreds because you're out of mini gun bullets.... not so much, but in the previous games Power Armor was a specialty and a god-like status if you had it, now anyone can have it.

[grave pecan]

I like that tbh it makes very few people absolute Units

[sturdy viper]

Yeah that would make you the only Unit, or head of the Units.

[keen vortex]

Ace Rimmer

[grave pecan]

I better be im Elder Maxson 💪

[sturdy viper]

That sounds like a whole Viagra commercial right there

[crisp stream]

There isn't a hud in 3 or nv

Not for power armor

[sturdy viper]

I thought if you were wearing the helmet the HUD changed color from what your regular HUD was, or something different wearing a power armor helmet from what your normal HUD was

It's been a while since I played three or New Vegas

[crisp stream]

Nope, not in 3 or NV

[sturdy viper]

I just remember taking the helmet off, and the game was better.

Then when I tried to in 4 it stayed the same, that yellow color, maybe it was because you didn't change the color of your HUD?

[crisp stream]

There is no effect

Not in 3 or NV.

In 4, PA hud will always be yellow orange

[grave pecan]

I’ve always wondered this but can you actually get strong the “milk of human kindness”

[pliant grotto]

no

[lilac saffron]

true. though i got my power armor certification through Op. Anchorage. lol

[lilac saffron]

they got rid of wear and tear too. ive only played 3 and 4, never understood why they removed the feature for 4. It makes the game feel a bit more arcadey to me.

theres no glancing to the bottom of the screen to make sure your weapon isnt going to die mid-fight, or collecting 4 10mm pistols to make one extremely high durability one.

fallout 4, you can make a god weapon or super armor and basically never worry about losing it or taking anything else

not that i dont enjoy that too

[limber tinsel]

Durability is a super flawed concept. Maybe something that would fit better in a survival-type mode.

[lilac saffron]

kinda what im saying

fallout 3 is a more survival oriented game, while fallout 4 leans more to exploration and base building

[proven elm]

Which is one of the many reasons why I prefer Fallout 4 over Fallout 3.

[lilac saffron]

jaques is saying fallout 4 doesnt seem as realistic as other games like 3 or NV. My view is 4 isnt meant to be as realistic as 3 or NV. its meant to be a bit lighter and fun.
3 is a very grim setting where it seems everything and almost everyone wants you dead, while 4 has more color and people are more friendly and will live in your towns

[lilac saffron]

i dont have much of a preference. to me, they are different enough concepts that i dont feel a need to compare them.

i may compare 3 to a game like the last of us or subnautica, and 4 compares to games like the witcher or no mans sky.

[scarlet sky]

play fallout 4 on survival that'll def change anyones tune about that

[scarlet sky]

weapons breaking has always been an absurd concept, guns don't just break bro, then if breaking wasn't bad enough guns didn't last long enough for it to make any sense lol i can shoot my rifle for a year straight every day and maybe have one malfunction. pistols are a little different prone to jamming when not cleaned. but straight breaking? dumb lol

pipe weapons i could understand but a properly machined weapon? never

[proven elm]

I have no interest. I especially dislike Fallout 4's implementation of Survival mode I'm glad it's there for those who want it. But 'll pass.

[scarlet sky]

fine. missed the point though, it was a kinda "if you were to..." it would change anyones tune.

and idk i think they made a pretty good survival system, some aspects i'd even call downright realistic, even in the makes more sense dept. someone posted a while ago saying they killed a deathclaw with a switchblade, can't do that in survival lol.

i'm not saying youre wrong or its perfect but their survival difficulty is def one of the best difficulty systems i've ever seen. idk thats just my take on it.

[proven elm]

My main bone of contention with Fallout's Survival mode is the hideously nonsensical "sleep-to-save" mechanic. It has no business being in a roleplaying game. In my opinion it is not at all a roleplaying game mechanic (I would even go so far as to say it is an anti-roleplaying mechanic).

Saving is an action the player takes in the real world. Sleeping is an action the character takes in a fictional world. A character should never have to take an action in a fictional world in order for the player to take an action in the real world. That is simply poor game design, in my opinion.

[scarlet sky]

well thats the very thing isn't it? i see it in a totally different light. i believe thats why its called survival. being able to accomplish what you want to accomplish and survive doing it. it forces you to prep better, plan move more carefully. but to say its poor game design is folly.

and i hate to say it man, but saying its not a roleplaying game mechanic is just wrong. thats how the original RP game D&D is but they take it a step further and you only get one life. so really being able to save at all is a blessing.

oh well to each his own

hard core is the only core workout i need lol jk

[fading linden]

Does factory reset code work on memory wiped Synth?

[pliant grotto]

I mean, yes, that happens in a story quest for the institute

And in Fallout 3

[light canyon]

I had a similar thought when playing Kingdom Come Deliverance. In that game you have to drink a specific consumable item to save the game and that just felt tedious to me. But then I never once felt like it was tedious to save in Fallout 4, as the gap between finding beds became a risk-reward element that added tension to dungeon. Anyway I think the criticism is valid but i have a soft spot for it in fallout 4 since it created some tense and fun moments.

[lilac saffron]

I agree with Skypo

Survival Mode has several faults, and so many missed opportunities to the point where the modding community fixed sooooo many problems (ie: Weapons in normal difficulties don't have ammo weight because it's already accounted for somewhat in the weapon's base weight. Survival doesn't change this at all, and instead makes it weigh even more by keeping unchanged weapon weight and then giving ammo weight.) Ironically, I think how they did sleep was one of the better things out of the mess Survival Mode can be. The balance between adrenaline upkeep so you can blast through content, keeping benefit to not saving, while having the ability to sleep and save meant playing it safer with less bonuses if things go wrong.

Honestly, my gripe is way less with sleep-to-save as a mechanic. It actually helps so much with cementing that a big location is truly a challenge, because you don't have the midway quicksaves or the immediate drop back into the area. Gearing up and making sure you're actually ready is vital in early stages of the game. The problem is that this is a Bethesda game, so you can lose a lot of progress because you decided to look at downtown boston

[rugged wigeon]

can we think Fallout 4 is Turing complete (with logic gates)?

[scarlet sky]

Oh man you ever hauled ammo before? i did during training ugh pumishment for calling my teamleader an idiot lol i had a whole pack of ammo. Believe me that craps heavy. 🤣

4070 came out in january

[fading linden]

Me Still living in past 🥲

Never knew 40 series got released

Fun fact: Bethesda never fixed Fallout 4 to play it on ultrawide monitors

So it's safe to assume they haven't did any tunning for new GPU's

I have no clue how to fix this

[grave pecan]

The settlement abuse kit has bugged out Warwick homestead every time I go there it crashes but there’s so many bodies I need the loot!!😭

Danse’s “I’ll inspect technology you go back to the station” feels so wrong

You suspect him to be an undercover institute Synth?

[proven bluff]

||It feels wrong for the institute not to use him if he’s a synth in their data||

Especially after a certain BOS cut content

[fading linden]

May be the institute haven't realised he is an escaped synth

But how does the institute able to identify Gabriel as an escaped synth eventhough he is completely memory wiped?

This sub confused me a lot with this game 💀

[heady current]

Please make sure to mark spoilers or potential spoilers with || on both ends.

||Like so||

[fading linden]

|| Ok 💀👍 ||

[lilac saffron]

are there many escaped synths in the game? ive only met Jules and Danse

[fading linden]

|| Abbott, trust me I've shot him down to check his Synth component ||

[proven bluff]

||That’s the thing, they 100% knows he’s a Synth, and him acting weird means that he himself knows he’s a synth, due to him sometimes actually agreeing with helping/saving some Synths while getting mad when you kill certain “good guy” synths||

[fading linden]

|| Mayor Mcdonaugh another one ||

[proven bluff]

That’s a regular controlled synth

[proven bluff]

A whole lot, the institute apparently keep their doors wide open xD

Thought ||important Synths are never left just like that||

[lilac saffron]

i may be part of the BoS, but I like helping the synths

anyone who treats them less then get their head exploded by my hand

[fading linden]

|| synths can't sleep and Danse would have had an idea of him being a Synth because of not been able to sleep) ||

[proven bluff]

||Agree, plus he literally survives being melted alive in his PA, and from what we’ve seen in 76, less heat killed a human in T-45 PA||

[fading linden]

I am neutral with synths, i'll let any Synth to have free will if it is taking decision with moral values

[proven bluff]

It’s the risk vs reward factor, you got a whole bunch of synth, a small number of them are good guys, the rest are evil/prone to be evil, will you treat them all kindly just to save the small number?

[lilac saffron]

i usually do dialogue interactions to see what the dynamic is

I saved Jules, but i definitely purged Arcjet

[proven bluff]

I would’ve liked to save Jules, but my charisma was low

i literally vat blasted the two people after i exited from the dialogue

[lilac saffron]

👍

[north needle]

talking about settlements i wanted to ask if i can kill those random settlers that shows up during preston's quests. You know those "clear and stablish the beacon". I only put it to acomplish the quest and store it right away, but almost always 1 or 2 settlers shows later anyway. Honestly, i dont want to pay attention to them, so i killed one and didnt saw any downside yet. its safe?

[lilac saffron]

I know you can example damage a settler a few times but eventually everyone turns on you, just be careful with that. For the most part if they aren't a settler maybe it's okay.

[sturdy viper]

Sandman perk, kill them in Crouch position while they're sleeping.

[north needle]

yeah i mean i know the same settlement will agro on me but they usually are 1 or 2 and i want no settles so i will kill them anyway. I was asking more about others settlements or Preston and company for example (they are at sanctuary and is no there where i want to "clean")

[lilac saffron]

Just quicksave and test it, reload if anything happens.

[sturdy viper]

Unfortunately Preston's essential, everybody wants to put a bullet in his head, and maybe Mama Murphy but once you get far enough along everyone else is not essential and you can kill marcy?

[warped tiger]

Okay so previously I said the never ending laser rifle by yhe name of... "Endless possibilities" or something like that was found at CIT. I was wrong, it's university point. Go there for a legendary endless laser pistol {not actually endless, holds all your bullets and never needs to reload}. The guns very good for making an insane laser shotgun. Combine the automatic with laser splitter.

Go to the credit union there to get the gun. Hidden in it's bank vault will be a button. Open it to gain access to a lab.

You'll need to have master lock picking to open the one needed.

[north needle]

Sorry im probably expresing horrible since english its not my main language.
I don want to kill Preston. I want to have no random settlers in places originally empty. Specifically talking about kingsport and Starlight in where i have my personal things but all suddenly there are 2 random settlers at Kingsport Lighthouse and a single woman in Starlight. I killed the woman in the cinema and im waiting to see if preston or anyone will be angry at me but for the moment nothing happened. I want to clear Kingsport too and others randoms at future. I guess i will go slowly as u said saving and waiting. Ty!

[sturdy viper]

No if you wipe out settlers in a settlement only other ones in that settlement will be hostile towards you, it's kind of like no one else knows. And if you want to protect your valuables build a two-story building, put a small wood or concrete block on the second level, and then stairs down. Then remove the block and you can jump that distance and the AI usually doesn't.

[lilac saffron]

and there are no beacons up, right?

[north needle]

not anymore. when preston asked me to put beacon i only build it with a generator, let the quest to mark "complete" and store them right away but i suppose that tiny instant its enough to attract 1 or 2 settlers later.

[lilac saffron]

maybe. preston is broken for me,so i never have to deal with him

Do you guys think for the next gen update they will fix the lever action rifle bug and maybe make the render distance better if they can

[scarlet sky]

So. I think i know whats wrong, tge radio towers are bugged for some reason theur built in the "off" position but truely start turned on for some reason. Even if its not there and the beacon being on starts by bringing in a settler. So when you build one and whatnot use the radio to male sure its not transmitting them dismantle it.

But once you build it youre stuck with the settler move them to another settlment

[lilac saffron]

"have you turned it on and off again": Fallout 4 version

[scarlet sky]

don't waste your time reading crap, there are a bunch of prefabs, copy them. then start by building a basic structure

once you copy the prefabs you get a good sense on how stuff fits together

try the wood prefabs first the metal structures are hard af to build by yourself

[scarlet sky]

hahaha most def lol. i think what happens is the tower is placed in the off position, THEN bc of the quest it turns on the "radio signal" without the radio. because after a while the tower starts to work properly after turning it on and off a bunch of times

[lilac saffron]

use junk fences, the building(s) in the area, prefabs, and basic guard posts

[scarlet sky]

aye

[lilac saffron]

thats my basic idea. just check #screenshots-and-video

[scarlet sky]

don't read wikis be a real human being and figure it out, thats what i always say.

[lilac saffron]

what up

[scarlet sky]

did you try turning it off and back on again? lol

i jest of course

[lilac saffron]

heh

[olive lava]

i know i should maybe ask in some other text chat but...

what .ini should i change settings in

theres .ini high, .ini low ,.ini default

and more

or falloutprefs,ini maybe?

[scarlet sky]

well the problem with that question here isn't the question its about who can answer. modders would know that question for sure. i have no clue i havn't really messed with FO modding yet

i think it depends on what your trying to do

certain things are tied to certain ini files

[olive lava]

i just need to change fDefault1stPersonFOV=???

[scarlet sky]

uhm i thought you could do that on the launcher?

options on the launcher then go to advance settings

[olive lava]

i know u can just open the consol but i dont want to have to do that every time i launch the game...

oh i found it i think! thanks anyways

[grave pecan]

This might sound strange but is there a good gun to give old longfellow it seems some companions are better with certain weapons like for example I gave macreedy one of the AK’s from nuka world but made it non automatic and he’s super good with it

[lilac saffron]

i dont even know how to set companions yet lol

Got a ghoul slayers laser musket in the super duper mart in my most recent playthrough of Fallout 4, and the whole time I was thinking, “man if only the Minuteman had this.” Also why did the Minuteman think it was a good idea to settle in decaying super market in a town with a assembly plant full of raiders basically right next door and the super market and outside area full of ghouls? 😬🤔😒

[grave pecan]

Hell never mind then less enclave the better lol

[lilac saffron]

3 suki

just saying it here since the topic came up

Oh ok

i havent yet encountered enclave in 4

They aren’t there unless you get creation club and through Grand Zealot Richter in Far Harbor who was lieutenant in the Capital Wasteland

[grave pecan]

You can find some enclave with one of the creation club DLC’s but that’s it I believe in fallout 4

[lilac saffron]

And yeah they’re all hostile unfortunately

im not screwing around with cc this playthrough so

Honestly wish there was a way you could join and help them. The Brotherhood gets everything and the Enclave doesn’t get anything

Yeah you get power armor from them and you can enable enclave radio which is nice and yeah I know that feeling too

thats why i only have base game

which is why having mods is my way of spicing gameplay up

even if i have superjump on accident lol

[scarlet sky]

Lol

[astral sparrow]

The Enclave are not in Fallout 4.

[north needle]

wot i found a legendary Protectron in his own station xD i will need to pay better attention didnt imagine those could be legendary

[scarlet sky]

anything can be legendary at any time

[grave pecan]

Even radroaches!

[scarlet sky]

Ya careful with the legendary radroaches theyll bit off them ankles real fast

[lilac saffron]

Everything can be Legendaries. Rad roaches are one thing, but most importantly Raider Settlements are a great way to get some.

Also, you can birth legendary bloatflies into existence

[lilac saffron]

TBF, it's kinda nice not having Enclave involved. Not side-by-side with the Institute, for sure.

[lilac saffron]

Yeah, but there are other opportunities that we should’ve been able to help them. I know this has to do with other Fallouts, but in Fallout 3 they should’ve been joinable. That’s one of my biggest complaints about Fallout 3 is that you are forced to join and help Lyons BOS and that is the only choice you get. Sure, you can help Eden, but for what? So you can get told in Broken Steel LOL just kidding your choice didn’t matter because Eden is dead and now you have to continue helping us? Really?🙄🙄🙄 The game leads you on too because Eden tells you there is a place for you in the Enclave if you do what he wants and of course it’s not true. Then in 76 the Brotherhood literally gets an entire two updates and the Enclave get like what 2 npcs? Then in Fallout 4 instead of making workshop dlcs as half the dlcs there could’ve been an opportunity to help the Enclave there with campaign dlcs and there wasn’t.

[north needle]

at least in fo4 the BoS its lame

[north needle]

this is interesting 👀 will look about it

[fading linden]

Cursed weapon 🙁

[lilac saffron]

Yep. Bloatfly Larvae shots from a Syringer Rifle can birth Leg. Bloatflies

[lilac saffron]

Honestly, that's just bad roleplay implementation. Although there's no reason the Enclave would want to work with you; you are a literal representation of what they want to kill and destroy.

They've made that their mission across multiple games; find a way to either kill the wasteland and convert all of them to becoming solely pureblooded and untainted beings by their view or break the wasteland and force everyone who doesn't fit the genetic sampling to be enslaved, because they'd hold such power with Purity. Honestly, they were designed pretty well to be a purely antagonist group.

Unlike Fo4, where... there's good reasons to help every faction to the end.

[proven bluff]

What’s a good reason to help the institute? Other than Synth wifus

[north needle]

||ur son its a really heavy roleplay reason||

plus we can have long talks about it but making it very short, the institute represents science, BoS military, the railroad a philosophical approach, and with the minutemen a humanitarian one. For some, science could really feel like the real hope for future in humans, despiste how they work right now, since none of the 4 are perfects in their thing.

[proven bluff]

||They are most likely to replace you once Father is dead, they all disagree on you leading and the one holding their binding (father) is gone at the end of the game||

[north needle]

||Yes and the BoS wants to kill everything and force people to give them food, The Railroad wants freedom for synths by destroying their birth place (i swear this drives me really sad), and the minutemen are good but all that they offer is food and shelter, honorable but lacking for a far future of the human race. None is perfect.||

[proven bluff]

Exactly, no faction is perfect, with or without your help, which is good writing, it means that you need to think before picking a faction

[north needle]

My point was every one of us have reasons and there are good reasons to side with the institute, despite obvious flaws

For me ||if there were an option to "fuse" both the institute and the railroad would be the perfect choice||, but oh well

[proven bluff]

It’s possible that in the future ||they could change their ways with proper guidance, we’ve all read the article that piper writes after the institute wins||

[somber stag]

my game is nor running in full screen and no pref.ini are not the issue

[fading linden]

Try changing settings on the launcher

[somber stag]

bro i know you didnt just say that

aint no way

[fading linden]

If I want to increase damage on a Fatman/Missile Launcher, then should I need to put my points in demolition expert or heavy guns?

[fading linden]

🥲

[somber stag]

Just increase your damage

im using your logic here

[fading linden]

What 💀

The game is locked at 30 FPS for console players?

[lilac saffron]

How is it bad role play implementation? For one thing it’s bad role playing implementation to force everyone to join one faction and that’s your only choice. Second as far as their concerned you’re from a vault. They don’t know the lone wanderer was born at Jefferson memorial. There could’ve been options and there wasn’t. Even if you think we shouldn’t have been able to help them in 3 that doesn’t change the fact there could’ve been better dlcs to help them in 4 maybe and I really believe Bethesda should make a Enclave update for 76 like they did the Brotherhood.

[lilac saffron]

There's tons of role playing games where you're only part of one faction.

[lilac saffron]

so enclave are basically wasteland nazis

[lilac saffron]

I was saying only having one supportable faction was a bad roleplay choice, and it should have been at least 3.

Like @lilac saffron mentioned, there's plenty of games where roleplaying is just for one faction. Ignoring the classic JRPG format, which is often a linear story where you play another person's story rather than you(r character) as an independent entity and forge their story as it goes on. FO3 has plenty of those, the decision of destroying Megaton or clearing out Tenpenny Tower as a major example.

[lilac saffron]

Ironic, huh? Considering they're just remnants of the US govt, that stayed alive in key locations, that became xenophobic with their isolation. And just curved and curved and curved from representing a nation of the free to... that.

[full vessel]

I don't like The Prydwen, It is a big hydrogen death trap for everyone on it, Also it has no bathroom, And no showers, And oddly no rad showers

but that is jsut an opinion

[lilac saffron]

Airships use helium nowadays, so that's most likely what's in the Prydwen.

[lilac saffron]

i did both. actually, i cleared tenpenny twice lmao

i think i have 600 people kills in 3

[slate rock]

prydwen fans when i set off the lightest spark in their base of operations

schclick

💥

[grave pecan]

What is the earliest point in the game I can get a institute weapon and courser uniform

[lilac saffron]

Modded would be preferred if you want to play a Courser.

Earliest, is Far Harbor by technicality, by killing Chase for a ripped/worn version of the coat. Otherwise, iirc the earliest is during Hunter/Hunted iirc. Then Fort Hagen (even before Reunions) or any other Synth-scripted location.

Coat + Institute Laser

[grave pecan]

Might have to chase after chase then

[crisp stream]

nuka world raider fans when i drink every nuka cola variant, take a dose of psycho and jet and equip a fat man before killing them

[slate rock]

not as easy as lighting a match but okay ig

[crisp stream]

:p

ill figure out something easier

BoS fans when i inject modified FEV into their water supply

[slate rock]

still complicated but tbh i’d do that

[crisp stream]

lol

[lilac saffron]

real

[slate rock]

https://tenor.com/view/omori-fallout-fev-super-mutant-omori-players-gif-20139180

the gif but remove the caption

[crisp stream]

im being reminded of that one post:

"Super mutant fans when the master turns them into a centaur and not a smart super mutant general"

[slate rock]

centaurs are legit just snails with a human body shape and 3 long floppy tongues

[lilac saffron]

correct

i love blasting mirelucks

i get consistent 30 fps

[fading linden]

Arcjet or university point for meeting gen-1/gen-2 synths

For courser, you need to find Virgil first I think so

[lilac saffron]

yea, i have a lot of institute guns after Arcjet

[fading linden]

💀

[fading linden]

There is a glitch in arcjet where you can have infinite amount of institute Synth waves until you press backup power button

Good source for fusion cells

I knew it only after finishing arcjet

[grave pecan]

Is there a way to get my coat without betraying me or mods?

[crisp stream]

No, he has to be killed

[fading linden]

~Commands

[crisp stream]

Well, legitimately

[fading linden]

You've became the very enemy once you've feared of 💀

[fading linden]

The only option he got if he don't want to kill or mod

[scarlet sky]

Killing a man for his coat tsk tsk tsk.

[grave pecan]

It’s a really cool coat😭

[scarlet sky]

For shaaaaaame

[tribal sky]

Hey when should I be expecting a update for fallout 4

[grave pecan]

I don’t think I can even kill maxson if I wanted to I think he’s set as a crucial NPC because I picked brotherhood

[tribal sky]

No really when

[crisp stream]

2023

[scarlet sky]

no really. all the effort is put into stamping out dissent then giving any actual news.

[zinc ridge]

Starfield's release date is first 1/2 of 2023 - now that means September - makes one ponder what 2023 means by itself

[crisp stream]

I think it means the year, 2023

[scarlet sky]

then youd be a fool lol jk

[crisp stream]

though, it could also mean 2023 BCE

[fading linden]

Save and try bro

Shocked to find that doctor sun is essential in diamond city, like for what 💀

For being a doctor?

[scarlet sky]

ya bro

one of the major rules of a warrior is you don't fk with doc

[fading linden]

I always try my new weapons on diamond city (yes I save the game before doing)

Doctor sun never dies, he just takes rest

Even when the whole city in chaos, Nick and Piper never leaves their respective homes

[lilac saffron]

Console Commands. Otherwise, no.

Maxson and Shaun/Father cannot be pickpocketed for it, and both have to die for the equipment to be gained "legit"

[fading linden]

Wait you can kill him in blind betrayal

[lilac saffron]

There was going to be a way to earn it legitimately (Blind Betrayal, either you or Danse challenges Maxson for the position of Elder.)

[lilac saffron]

You still become a permanent enemy of the BoS, Danse becomes hostile, and there's a Vertibird with reinforcements that attacks too if you do that.

[fading linden]

It's a cut content and no more available in the game

[lilac saffron]

Yep. Hence was

[lilac saffron]

Just because plenty of games have that doesn’t make it good. For example lots of games have bugs, but that doesn’t make bugs good or any less annoying to deal with. Fallout is an rpg where you shape the world around you and I should’ve a say in who I want to shape that world with. Also yeah the side quests in Fallout 3 are amazing, but the storyline was horrible.

[lilac saffron]

Well yeah. No single trait or the like can "make" a game like that. FO3 was one whose main story falls flat, and FO4 was one where most side quests and main stories fall flat too.

[fading linden]

Don't forgot about the vertiberd and a group of T-60 brotherhood soldiers attacking you randomly on Commonwealth 💀

[lilac saffron]

Oh, and losing access to like 8 different unique outfits

[fading linden]

🥲

[fading linden]

Wait what 💀

I thought it was only legendary T-60 right leg and left leg

[lilac saffron]

If you become enemies with the BoS at any point you're not actively on the Prydwen, you have to be onboard to get the 4 or so unique outfits (Quinlan, Cade, Teagan, and one other) since they don't join the fight in Liberty Reprimed

[lilac saffron]

T-60 is the only power armor you can get a full legendary. I’m surprised they didn’t add more for other sets.

Unless you're with the RR. Then you get a second chance at it, but after that or you're doing the MM you lose all options.

[lilac saffron]

No, X-01 Legendaries exist.

Rather specifically the Nuka-Quantum one

[scarlet sky]

shghhhhh

don't talk about that one

[lilac saffron]

That’s a unique paint, but I’m talking about ones with effects

[scarlet sky]

there are people here that need to figure it out for themselves

[lilac saffron]

You can cheese getting that if it's such a burden

[grave pecan]

He is sadly I put like 3 clips into him he didn’t die

[lilac saffron]

If not playing Survival, just sleep for 3 days and check the Junkyard to collect a respawning Star Core there

[fading linden]

Through how? By finishing missions or buying in shops?

[scarlet sky]

i'm def a survivalist

[lilac saffron]

You can also use another power armor to clip through the wall and get it that way

[scarlet sky]

hardcore is the only core workout i want lol

[lilac saffron]

...killing them. Cade, Teagan, Kells (that's who I forgot, also has unique hat), and Quinlan all have unique outfits

Or Rank 4 pickpocket

[fading linden]

I never actually know this

I've heard of a helmet being legendary

2 leg armors being legendary

Is the unique Tesla torso and Tesla hands are legendary?

[scarlet sky]

yes

[lilac saffron]

Yeah it’s the Tesla pieces and I think the rest you get from the BOS

[scarlet sky]

yes lol

[crisp stream]

imagine if unique quest important human-NPCs could spawn as legendary

[fading linden]

Nuka cola t-51 >> Quantum X-01

Seriously the AP refresh is unnoticeable but atleast nuka cola T-51 can boost 3 agility points

[crisp stream]

Legendary Elder Maxson

[lilac saffron]

Exact pieces according to wiki:

Visionary's T-60c (Helmet)
Tesla T-60 Armor (Chest, L. Arm, R. Arm)
Exemplar's T-60 (Chest)
Honor (L. Leg)
Vengeance (R. Leg)

[scarlet sky]

omg loser you looked it up

[lilac saffron]

So two possible Chests, one for all other slots, still hate Power Armor

[lilac saffron]

I was curious, I never use PA because of the ugly UI. Also hate the bulkiness and how it looks with most weapons I like

[fading linden]

Ok wait for blind betrayal or do airship down mission

You can have his unique power Armor, power Armor frame, final judgement and || his coat ||

[fading linden]

I missed that chance 🥲

[lilac saffron]

Blind Betrayal doesn't have him in his Power Armor. You have to do the Institute vs BoS mission for that, and ONLY that works.

[fading linden]

💀

[fading linden]

Nice

[lilac saffron]

I honestly only aided the BoS for the trophies.

[fading linden]

Virgil is one

[crisp stream]

Legendary Virgil

[fading linden]

Oops sorry haven't read the message properly

[lilac saffron]

Really hate travelling there for quests, really don't like the mentality and ethics, and honestly too much of their clothing is just too cool not to take

Maxson's fault he ain't willing to hand over his coat

[fading linden]

Thank you for explaining dude 🙏

[grave pecan]

I can’t I already beat the game

[lilac saffron]

Looks like Visionaries Helm can be gained immediately too, by lying to Kells and saying Virgil's already dead or by curing Virgil.

[fading linden]

I love power Armor but the sound it makes while walking isn't helpful for stealth builds

There should be a material mod available to craft silent servos for leg armors

[hybrid vault]

so i read that when you complete the far harbor quest “the way life should be”, it automatically fails the quest “search and destroy” where you and the bos destroy the synths at arcadia.
can anyone confirm this?

[lilac saffron]

Yes, potentially.

This depends on how TWLSB ends. If Allen Lee is listened to, Search And Destroy has nothing to search and destroy

[fading linden]

Grammar mistake from my side 🥲

I intended to continue the phrase with airship down not blind betrayal

[lilac saffron]

If you do BB first, and send Danse to a settlement, he can become a stronger than average settler since he doesn't become hostile post-BB

Even if you go full Institute

[fading linden]

Nice

[tribal sky]

Would the update be something like Skyrim anniversary edition

[hybrid vault]

so basically, i’d have to have far harbor destroy arcadia in order for the bos quest to fail, right?

[lilac saffron]

Yeah. Because the BoS doesn't have an Acadia to destroy.

Same for Forbidden Knowledge (Institute), they can't recall the synths if the synths can't recall how to breathe

[lilac saffron]

We have no idea at this point in time

[hybrid vault]

god damn it. and are there no mods that prevent this?

[fading linden]

But I permanently loose him as a companion 🥲

[lilac saffron]

God doesn't want me to progress, I crashed twice, then the third time I finally reached my destination just to crash and get set back a hour of gameplay. And now when I once again reached my destination my PC decided I don't have to see to play and stopped displaying, which also gave me a heart attack.

[zinc ridge]

given the recent track record is could easily mean 2024

[grave pecan]

Who here has completed a full survival run? And how hard would you say it is on a 1-10 because I’m super determined to try and complete a survival run and any good tips

[scarlet sky]

Well id say prob around an 8 for me (i play hardcore on every game that has it though) health is wayyyyy dif so is dam it feels more dynamic to me (the backpack cc is really good for that). You dont regenerate at all without aid. Sleeping to save adds an extra difficulty. You can carry way less. def seems like more realistic numbers to me. Raiders for example CAN def kill you.

As far as tips, take your time, be prepared and dont just charge through "red zones" where hostiles might be you have to use and fire from cover to survive. I cant tell you how many times i got ganked comming out of cover at the wrong time.

So you cant just have an empty inventory. You def need a full pocket of heals and stuff. Takes up quite a bit if space. And remember youll never be able to carry everything. a fat boy with the entire weapons catalogue? Not anymore.

Oh and uhhh dont let death claws get close to you.

Ps. The back pack cc can turn into a medical bag that CAN regen your health in survival so thats a good suppliment to healing even though its slow

Its a pretty gnarly experience

The biggest bonus. Itll kill so.e time for sure from building sanctuary now that you finally got scrap to slowly moving through farharbor so you dont get ambushed everything takes longer

[grave pecan]

Might need to spend another 5£ seems pretty crucial that bag and yeah Ik I was 50% hp in power armour and a death claw one shot me 😭

[scarlet sky]

Ya man they get close enough they just pick you up and stab ya

Every time

[grave pecan]

I have the doom armour should I wear it? It gives amazing defence although I feel like it takes away from the experience

[scarlet sky]

Trust me. Youre gunna need it lol

Wait till you start getting at those bunkered up super mutants

[grave pecan]

Then I will!

I’m gonna explore everything I feel like I can

[scarlet sky]

Oh and no fast travel is the best you know why all these people miss those cool secrets in these kinda games? Fast travel. Literally bc of fast traveling i saw people discovering what i discoverd years ago lol. And i was like thats a big secret? Lol forcing you to walk you get to actually do more.

Its a more whole experience

[grave pecan]

What about vertiberd grenades? Or to in and then out the institute?

[scarlet sky]

Still work

Its awesome

[grave pecan]

Nice I think I’m gonna try use institute TP and team with them

[scarlet sky]

Youll have a better time. And survival will tell you if you suck or not lol

And if you do suck. Itll make you better

[grave pecan]

I feel like it’ll be a slowww process

[scarlet sky]

Oh and the camping cc

Helps with the sleep save problem

Set up a camp sleep

[lilac saffron]

Early game, 8/10. Midgame, 6/10. Lategame, 1/10

If you use Power Armor at any point, 3/10.

[grave pecan]

Camping cc?

[scarlet sky]

Or mod?

I dont remember, if no mods then forget about it

[lilac saffron]

Mod. Closest possible is always finding or making beds anywhere you can.

Due to the abundance of Steel, Wood, and Cloth as well you can even carry 0-weight totals to make a full bed (Pencils and Pre-War Money)

[grave pecan]

My stats are 6 5 3 1 6 5 3 starting from the left strength

[lilac saffron]

Honestly, only the earlygame is actually difficult. And if you build well, it falls off fast.

If you want to retain difficulty, Keep END at 3 or less and hold a 8-point forever limit on damage perks, scrounger, cap finder, and medic

So that you still have to burn through ammo frequently, Stimpaks get burnt through quickly, etc.

[grave pecan]

Medic will be my most prized perk I think

[lilac saffron]

Honestly

Avoid it if you want Survival to have difficulty.

[grave pecan]

I might depending how much trouble I have

[lilac saffron]

If you get to LV15-20ish, you did most of the difficulty

And given how Survival has a 2x EXP rate, that roughly translates to completing Reunions.

[grave pecan]

I think codsworth is stuck so I’ll have to restart a game yay that’s another thing bugs

[lilac saffron]

Finish Out of Time and get Preston & Co to sanctuary

That usually fixes the problem with Codsy.

Either way, Codsworth... don't use him in Survival anyway. Esp if you don't have Automatron.

[scarlet sky]

Bruh dont do that meta crap

[grave pecan]

Ah ok because he’s just sat at the home saying follow me doing nothing

[lilac saffron]

Not that.

[scarlet sky]

Keep ur endurance to 3 for extra dif? Wtf

[lilac saffron]

IIRC, Codsworth can actually die without being given a Robot Repair Kit

[grave pecan]

I’ll probably make a OP robot if need be because there broken but I’d like to use human beings

[lilac saffron]

Honestly, my last Vanilla save was just that. Fights were difficult, but still very doable. Got to Hunter/Hunted and was trekking from the Railroad HQ to Preston so I could make the relay

And I am pretty bad at this game as a whole. I avoid Power Armor and Ballistic Weave (BW usable at 25)

[grave pecan]

Gotta use ma ma Murphy for the recall code🤞

[lilac saffron]

I just grabbed the Fat Man from the room tbh

42lbs was enough to two-shot the Courser and get the EXP from them.

[grave pecan]

I just wanna seen him drop without me using a bullet

[lilac saffron]

Fair enough

Oh, quick thing. There is a perk you may find very nice in Survival and not so much in V. Hard or lower: Aquaboy/Aquagirl

[grave pecan]

I’m scrapping all of sanctuary rn gotta get everything right

[lilac saffron]

Watch your weight. Base Carry Weight in Survival is like 50 + (STR*10)

[grave pecan]

My main perks rn are the extra hp and extra ammo and pack mule

[lilac saffron]

And with weapons having ammo weight now, I'd make sure to plan ahead.

[lilac saffron]

Good call. Pocketed and Light-build armor is really nice too

[grave pecan]

Yeah I realised that gotta actually plan for what you think you’ll need

[lilac saffron]

Honestly, even then... not as much.

Just don't hoard everything on the planet on you.

You even get fast travel back to an extent, a few ways

[grave pecan]

Yeah I’m gonna team with institute so I can get TP back

[lilac saffron]

Um

[tribal sky]

Honestly do you think that they will want to do a anniversary edition

[lilac saffron]

Quick note: It doesn't work exactly like that. You can fast travel to the Institute from anywhere, but you can only warp out to the CIT Ruins

[grave pecan]

Oh. I thought it was from anywhere to anywhere

[lilac saffron]

And the BoS (later, also MM and Railroad) also have fast travel options via Vertibird Signal Grenades which work like actual fast travel

[grave pecan]

Guess I’m teaming with myself

[lilac saffron]

Heh. In all honesty, I'd even encourage not using Fast Travel. It's a night and day difference in gameplay, especially in Survival

[tribal sky]

And do you have any idea when this update is coming up in this year

[lilac saffron]

Survival, locations don't really reset for ages. But random encounters that happen, they're everywhere

[grave pecan]

Yeah cause you gotta walk everywhere there pretty frequent

[lilac saffron]

And those are your main sources of gear/ammo/caps/etc, especially with Survival having the highest Legendary rate

[lilac saffron]

No, like Survival ACTUALLY has a 4x rate or something

[grave pecan]

Oh really that’s cool

So I might finally find the legendary vendors

[lilac saffron]

V. Hard, even walking everywhere, is really desolate there. Survival, locations like the Corvega plant reset in 30 days (or 81 if actually Cleared)

But instead you have a TON of random encounters.

[grave pecan]

I think that’s pretty good

[lilac saffron]

It is. It's also potentially very scary

[grave pecan]

Turn the corner and find a sentry bot waiting

[lilac saffron]

Because events like Rabid Radstags, Suddenly Minefield, Duel of the Deathclaws, etc

[lilac saffron]

There's an actual Random Encounter list that it draws from, but you should know that CAN happen with Automatron

Rust Devil raiders in good level Robot armor, Assaultrons, and Sentry Bots can all spawn in RD spawns

[grave pecan]

I hope not because I’m running the random robots are super op sometimes

[lilac saffron]

That's your call man XD

Also, if you REALLY want a challenge going into Act 3

Kill Shaun/Father before he can "recall" the synth Shaun

For some reason if you kill him on sight, the game just throws an actual Institute synth army at your face to try and get you to at least talk to Shaun (by killing you and forcing a reset)

[grave pecan]

That’s sounds like a fun time

[lilac saffron]

It is, esp without any AoE

Anyway, Survival isn't really more "difficult" unless you try doing my favorite thing

Painful as hell, I'll warn you now. Nuka-World at LV5-10

[grave pecan]

Nahhh that’s impossible

[lilac saffron]

It's not. Been doing it myself.

[grave pecan]

You must be cracked

[lilac saffron]

Nope. Tbh, again I suck at it. The hardest part is trying to run run it, and much of it can be handled well by taking your time

There's plenty of neat tricks too for it. The most important thing is to find around 3-4 Jet for Colter.

[grave pecan]

Idk how id even kill the guards outside especially the assultron

[lilac saffron]

lol, you don't.

[grave pecan]

Ik I can skip the dungeon or whatever they call it

[lilac saffron]

Sneak 0, Agility 1, go up the southern mountainside. Jump on top of the transit station, pop a jet and jump down and in

Guards won't even catch on enough to pursue. Although snapping down the sniper(s) up on the parking garages can be done without the other Gunners finding or being able to hurt you (just sprint across the bridge between the garages) to get a great weapon if you need to.

Just note, it does make a save once you arrive at Nuka World proper.

[grave pecan]

That’s nice at least

[lilac saffron]

Don't. The Gauntlet is the best part. The REST of the park is a weird level of really fun or utter hell.

Safari Zone is easy, but you need to just hold tight to the high ground. And bring some penetrating stuff or a DoT Legendary like Incendiary or Wounding, or a companion to fire endlessly into them.

[grave pecan]

Might be nice for the power armour

[lilac saffron]

Galactic Zone is by miles the most fun imo. But snipe those laser turrets fast, because their damage could take out a LV40 player in full power armor in like 5 shots

Like, on V.Hard I had a character with 220 Energy Resistance. They four-shot at 8 END.

[grave pecan]

Laser turrets never mess around

[lilac saffron]

You can only take 1-2 shots from laser turrets there. Thankfully they're easy to wipe down, if you know where they are and how turrets work.

Otherwise, the rest of Galactic Zone is a great deal of fun and you can avoid places you don't like until you shut down all the bots (or just ones there that you hated)

Like if Novatrons or Nukatrons get you to suffer migraines. Or Laser Turrets.

[grave pecan]

I think I’ll go there at level 10 but for now I’ll die by getting sneezed on

[lilac saffron]

What level are you now?

[grave pecan]

2 lol I’m still scrapping everything in sanctuary

[lilac saffron]

You'll probably get like 3 levels in the first half of the Gauntlet alone tbh then

If you take your time and disarm most/all the tripwires and turrets

[grave pecan]

Quite temping tbh

[lilac saffron]

I'd try making it to the Sunshine Co-Op

If you can get there without suffering an aneurysm, you stand a chance at Gauntlet. It's also the closest rest point to the Nuka-Transit Center

[grave pecan]

I wanted to go there for the x2 meat so pretty good for me

[lilac saffron]

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Sunshine_Tidings_co-op

[lilac saffron]

Ye. There's also a good lot of weapons and stuff nearby off the dead settlers, a little Raider hut nearby, etc.

[grave pecan]

Should I b line for concord then explore or no?

[lilac saffron]

Your call. It can cost you in medical supplies, but if nothing else I'd try to nab some weapons from the town around, the Daytripper and X-Cell from the Speakeasy there, and the Laser Musket/ammo from the front of M.o.Freedom

After that, hit up the Drumlin Diner on the way to Sunshine to stock up and sell stuff off, just sticking to the roads and all. The Deathclaw moment is a considerable ammo dump.

[grave pecan]

Of course I’m scared of Lexington I might just doge it for now

[lilac saffron]

Fair enough. If you know your way in there, you can get access to to the Red Rocket there and how it has one of every workbench (plus the overpass nearby has a perfect sniper perch to fire on Corvega, plus a decent bed for the 7hr sleep)

Don't have to clear everything out, just pass through if you want. If only sneaking around the town and up the overpass for the save point

[grave pecan]

Might try get that pre war money and maybe clear super duper mart also what are the chances of finding a legendary? Are they increased?

[lilac saffron]

Survival has THE largest Legendary spawn rate

Although... Ferals are very much not a joke at early levels. Find a sleeping spot before you go in.

Or at all. They have a chance of causing a random Illness whenever they hit you. Either have a doctor, some antibiotics, or suffer

[grave pecan]

Yeah 100%

Dayum

[lilac saffron]

Especially Lethargy and Weakness. Lethargy is a -25% AP regen rate if I remember right, might be hire. Weakness is a +30% damage taken iirc.

Numbers are iffy, effects are for sure correct. Infection sucks too, but it's more manageable (like 5% HP damage bursts occasionally)

Insomnia isn't bad unless you need to use RadAway. Oh, and RadAway is a turd if you don't chug a cola beforehand, since it makes you much more tired.

So in exchange for being pretty weak and pretty fragile, their swarm and ambush nature plus possible infections are certainly something.

[grave pecan]

Too damn realistic😭🙏

[lilac saffron]

Wait till you get headshot randomly... lol

[grave pecan]

Can’t wait this is a experience

[grave pecan]

Just got one shotted by a Molotov how refreshing!

[lilac saffron]

reminder of mortality

[scarlet sky]

Ya bruh lol. Ya think youre prepared. Game says i dont think so

I said a couple days ago a lot of survival adds a whole heap of realism

Oh and dont give your companions anything that does aoe lol

[grave pecan]

Oh Ik why and mind you I had 58 defence aswell and was one shotted like bruh

Dogmeat is such a god bro ran at ACK-ACK even though she was lighting him up and held her down for me 🙏

[scarlet sky]

Dude dogmeat is the boss

Ya know originally he wasnt supposed to take up a companion slot

But SOMEBODY decided against it

Modders found that out

[lilac saffron]

if i could be certain dogmeat wouldnt die, I'd take him everywhere

[scarlet sky]

He doesnt

Even in survival he cant die

[lilac saffron]

he doesnt?

[scarlet sky]

Nope

[lilac saffron]

guess thats another change between 3 and 4

[scarlet sky]

Ya all companions are essential they just get knocked out of the fight

Even ada

[grave pecan]

Don’t they run away if you don’t heal them in survival?

[scarlet sky]

Well its bad enough you dying to absolute bs but companions is kinda counterintuitive

[grave pecan]

Also should I level up the doom armour and use the glitch where I can craft something below it to get the better version even though I don’t have the stats or materials it gives 137 defence🤯

[scarlet sky]

Uhhhhh no, BUT if you leave them there too long, or move to a different cell without reviving them. They will return to their last "home" that was set

[grave pecan]

Or is that too cheaty

[scarlet sky]

Theres dif damage types

No i dont think so, you cant take a grenade or moltov

Armor is good for survival for sure

[grave pecan]

Lol you’re right although I have 155 defence and haven’t even helped Preston that’s crazy

[scarlet sky]

Idk it could possibly end up being cheaty youll just have to gague that for yourself

[scarlet sky]

Oh one more thing. No more enemy blips

Unless you have a bot with a tracker

You gotta find and engage them the old fasioned way. With ur eyes lol

[grave pecan]

Yeah and I can’t see locations unless I’m like 30m away I’m trying to remember where everything is

[lilac saffron]

It was a code thing wasn't it?

He was supposed to be coded as a "third slot" companion, but he was the only one compared to, say, Rex and ED-E in NV with that trait so they made him a simple companion slot. Mechanics are still there in the system too.

[grave pecan]

Nahhhh I just got one shotted by a legendary crab💀

[lilac saffron]

Nuka World and Far Harbor are the only two places really worth remembering imo, mostly if you want to go early. Far Harbor has so much easy free loot like the Lever Action and the caps to get a sizable pool of ammo for it, plus easy EXP in the first Fog attack on Far Harbor, that it's an easy resource bump

[lilac saffron]

lel. Wait till you get Stingwings again...

Stingwings suck, and are inferior to Cazadors in every way

[grave pecan]

The weird thing is it was doing like no damage but then next time it hit me after it mutated one shotted at full hp

[lilac saffron]

You sure the crab did it?

Not backpedaling far enough to aggro a Raider with a hunting rifle or something?

[grave pecan]

Nope I was thicket excavation he was the only enemy I even clipped it

[grave pecan]

I put it in fallout 4 screen shots and videos take a look

[lilac saffron]

Oh. Those crabs sometimes do upward swipes for headshots iirc

Other than that, do legendary enemies get bonuses on mutation?

[grave pecan]

Maybe cause that kinda crazy

[lilac saffron]

Nope they just get the health regen

Although tbh, Mirelurks also hit like a truck in general in survival

It's just weird that they dealt so little. Sounds like something was hitting you that wasn't crab.

Mirelurks and Ferals both get such an increase in lethality it's insane

[grave pecan]

I was there with a NPC but he only had a pipe pistol

[scarlet sky]

Idk man i think on survival they get more accurate?

[grave pecan]

Bro what’s dog meat carry weight? I gave him like 7 items and that’s it

[scarlet sky]

All inventories are reduced lol

All companions as well.

You overweight?

[grave pecan]

No but I’m far ish from a main home and I’m just about to take down another area and I might be after

[scarlet sky]

Oh ya settlements are important

You reach weight quick

[grave pecan]

I’m over encumbered and idk what to drop😭

[grave pecan]

To me there basically safe houses

[lilac saffron]

Check your weapons, drop one you picked up and don't want.

Sort junk by weight, drop some heavy items

[grave pecan]

I just obtained a hardend sniper rifle a charging laser rifle and a laser pistol feeling pretty good

[tribal sky]

When do you think we’ll get an update

[grave pecan]

No one really knows mate some think 2023 some think 2024 we have no clue

[scarlet sky]

And really leave basic gear

Stuff thats not unique, and limit to scrap needed

Buy steel and wood and whatnot

[flint nest]

that or get rank 4(?) of strong back and be able to fast travel when over encumbered

tho, not everyone may be a hoarder like me, where you cant leave anything

[grave pecan]

We talking about survival can’t TP and get way less carry weight

[flint nest]

ah

well, strong back does gets rid of the dmg taken when you are overencumbered

not sure if it still allows you to use AP to run when overencumbered tho

[grave pecan]

Found another bug 🫤 I got the minigun in the museum and it still says to pick up the minigun I am holding it but it won’t trigger and none of the enemies have spawned so now I gotta load back a save😭

[lilac saffron]

Should hit up Nuka World with that

[lilac saffron]

Bro that's best case scenario

The Minigun sucks, horribly. But the 5mm rounds all sell for 1 cap per round

And pawning it off will make you RICH. 5mm ammo is secretly caps in pasta-like form.

[grave pecan]

Oh Ik I got like 40k on my main it’s so good

[lilac saffron]

It does. The only change is that the fast travel while overloaded is replaced with removing the damage taken (Adamantium Skeleton also does that pretty well)

[grave pecan]

Welp Garvey is gonna be stuck here forever I got to the minigun again and it’s still bugged I ain’t Savin his booty

[lilac saffron]

You're going through the museum and talking to them fully right?

[grave pecan]

Yep

[lilac saffron]

Welp, screw them. Honestly the most boring option of them all tbh

[grave pecan]

I’m over encumbered rn taking 5 power armour pieces miles what joy 🤩 and now my legs are broke ok
