[subtle owl]

have only one settler

[cosmic ridge]

I never watched a video on it or anything I wanted to get it myself..

[lilac saffron]

I’ve been playing fallout 4 for less than 2 weeks and I already have 60 hours

[opaque scroll]

I’ve been doing this for the past 2 hours and it’s driving me nuts

[weak coyote]

Happiness won't go up immediately, takes some time.

[serene arch]

For that achievement ,as stated , Red Rocket, one turret, one barman(only settler), a bed, food and water stored in workshop (no farmers), and fill up budget with objects ( I used shipping containers)

[subtle owl]

oh it took a very fine sunday off my life to do benevolent leader

also make sure build limit is yellow it needs to be a large settlement so just spam toolboxes or smth

[opaque scroll]

I got it after 3 hours

it look like half an hour for the happiness to rise by one at one point

[valid knoll]

Hello

[potent flax]

someone please help i play fallout 4 on pc , on steam and when i press play in launcher i does black screen for split second and then it will crash ,it tells me in steam to play , instead of blue button , i tried changing from windowed to not windowed and it still did nothing , plus i have 40 or so mods active

[random spire]

I recommend trying #1087805680829857822 - does the issue persist without mods installed?

[earnest trellis]

for fallout 4, I really want to play a survival but I dont want to be far in, have forgotten to sleep and then have my game crash and set me back a while

is there any work around or is it not really a problem to worry about?

[weak coyote]

Don't forget to sleep...
There are beds everywhere, sleeping bags, mattresses, and beds are all over the place, it won't be long before you memorize where they are...stick with it, you get more outta the game playing on survival.

You could use a camping mod aswell, portable sleeping.

[serene arch]

I use a quick save in survival mod, I don’t like losing progress to game crashing

[weak coyote]

Yep, "saving survival " it adds an item where you can auto and manual save.

But no mods survival, saving isn't really a problem, like I said above.
All the mechanics of survival aren't really a problem, people are just used to lower difficulty and when they try survival, it's too much for them to deal with at first so they give up.

[nocturne goblet]

Message deleted. Think I found my answer. 🙂

[subtle owl]

when i first tried survival i didn't understand how tje saving worked so when i made it to concord without dying and then the deathclaw killed me i was back in Vault 111 and just quit

[weak coyote]

Tutorials pop up at the start, and you can read them in the help menu.

Did you think survival was permadeath?

[subtle owl]

maybe...

it finally happened to me, cant open mods on ps5

[velvet delta]

What is happening when you try to open it?

[subtle owl]

Operation cannot be completed

[velvet delta]

We have an article with troubleshooting for this here: https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/44123

[grand ferry]

Yo guys
I wanna make sanctuary a raider outpost. But the thing is since that is my base i got everything in there including companions, deathclaws and some settlers, is there anything i can do to prevent any damage?
Like without destroying anything or killing anyone

Another thing, will anything change after i capture it? Or everything will just stay the same

[weak coyote]

Send everyone to a different settlement first.

[grand ferry]

Will i be able to send them back to sanctuary after i capture it?

[lilac saffron]

So im having an issue with fo4 its been like tjis for awhile and ive tried everytjing i can think of to fix it, where there is No cross hair or interaction like press a to talk or open doors nothing how do i Fix This???

[random spire]

Try #1087805680829857822

[mystic lion]

Anyone aware of a console command or anything to clear bullet holes and other temporary damage decals post battle? I feel like they last forever in my settlements.

[craggy scroll]

What’s the best settlement for a raid grind

[craggy scroll]

And why is it that when u set up a bunch of turrets, they just shut off randomly

[weak coyote]

Are you mistakenly using the interval power pylon, it looks the same as the regular wood one.

[stray pilot]

does the fat man glitch still work in next gen

[weak coyote]

Yes... The game is full of glitches...

[silver bobcat]

What fat man glitch?

[vagrant rune]

You know it’d be really cool if they added Starfield vehicle mechanics to Fallout 4

Give me a car creation club creation

[opal turret]

Pick-R-Up truck in fallout 4 makes sense, it’s a truck so there’s storage, and there’s only one seat, so no need to do stuff for companions

[pale goblet]

Random question, at what point in the Nuka World DLC will Preston Garvey hate me? Is it once I become over boss or is it only when i bring the raiders into the common wealth?

[strange slate]

He never really does I believe

He will hate you if you become overboss but I think he still is a companion

Although I could be wrong

[pale goblet]

Yeah I just want to make sure he can still be my companion. I’m probably doing the minutemen ending this play-through

[merry fog]

Do harpoon guns with mods drop on enemies or spawn on vendors?

my 1 int knuckledragger can't get gun nut 🙂

[weak coyote]

I have a mod that adds them to leveled lists,none that have dropped, or in vendors have had any kind of weapon mods, only legendaries.

[weak coyote]

Doesn't a vendor in far harbor sell a unique named legendary one with mods already on it?

[lilac saffron]

Where do I find strong as a companion?

[serene arch]

at the top of Trinity Tower

[lilac saffron]

Thank you

[stray pilot]

how might someone fix home plate in fo4edit

like making it a settlement

[merry fog]

I think he sells that unique/legendary Admiral harpoon rifle, but was unmodded. So no scope, no flechette unless I get Int and gun nut

Eeeh, I got a warning for language, but for what? Is there something that could be considered a swear word or something? I honestly do not know.

[weak coyote]

Intelligence only effects xp gain and hacking, so why not, shouldn't break your rp, could just rp that it's the same skill as armorer, or just never gun craft after getting the gun how you want it.

There is also a mod like wacky weapons, where you can create the gun you want requiring no perks iirc.

[vocal locust]

question about mr. handy thruster arms - does damage from each individual arm stack or they only deal damage from individual arm(one at the time)? I don't understand if I should for example use all laser gun thruster arms to maximalize damage from laser gun or I should give mr. Handy flamer and buzz saw to give versitality in combat.

...and if a) damage stack - I go all laser guns and if b) damage deal is only from one laser gun - I'll give my robot versitality in combat.

[weak coyote]

Versatility is better since different enemies have different resistances.

[subtle owl]

he will hate you and refuse to be your companion if you bring raiders to the wealth

[weak coyote]

Take over the 5 parks then turn on the raiders.

[weak cairn]

Does anyone know about Sim Settlements? I have set up a mayor for Sanctuary Hills but for some reason he's not making houses or even food, what am I doing wrong?

[weak cairn]

oh sorry thanks

[dull perch]

Where can I find Boston common?

[earnest trellis]

What perk allows for higher Plasma Rifle damage?

[serene arch]

it’s east of Diamond City, Freedom trail quest and find Nick Valentine quest markers will take you there

[weak coyote]

Rifleman

[earnest trellis]

alr thanks

[weak coyote]

It has to have a rifle stock

Remove it and gunslinger governs it, or if it has the automatic barrel it's governed by commando

[dull perch]

Found it thank you!

[serene arch]

Go for a swim in the pond 😸

[sweet dust]

Is there any schedule as to when the creation club updates with different sales? I know it doesn’t happen that often anymore, but is it like every three weeks, monthly, or what?

[odd wagon]

when are they fixing the next gen patch

[weak coyote]

No one knows if or when, they say nothing.

[left spoke]

wut

[lilac saffron]

Tesla cannon is crazy OP omg

[wise moss]

once i got that i buttered through the rest of the game easily

[lilac saffron]

Yeah I was trying to take out the brother hood as the minute men general and I couldn’t get past 10% but I found the Tesla cannon and the mission was extremely easy with it

[wise moss]

Yup. Wait why are you trying to kill the brotherhood 😨

[still marten]

How good of gear do you have?

I normally run the splattercannon only downside is I can never find 7.62 in the commonwealth if any.

[grand ferry]

The only way i know to get 7.62 is by killing nuka world raiders or buying it from the nuka market

[still marten]

And the fact that you can get the handmade rifle before doing that stuff.

[grand ferry]

Yeah thats annoying. You can also dupe the ammo but its a little complicated

[weak coyote]

Set up raider vendors.

[west trout]

Was there ever a fix for fallout 4 next gen load times for xbox? It takes me average of 20 minutes to load into a game!

[weak coyote]

If that's not an exaggeration... I would quit and reload much sooner.

[lilac saffron]

I was running the four crank laser musket and the combat rifle I had nick valentine as my companion

But I think I was a really low level for that quest

[opaque scroll]

Is it just me or novice terminals are way more annoying to do than expert

[rigid lantern]

Anyone else having trouble with their mods? Mine keeps saying that the operation couldn't be completed

[weak coyote]

It's a common occurrence since the next gen update

[still marten]

Some of them don’t work anymore others do

[woven yew]

Do you think Fallout 4 is gonna get an Anniversary Edition like Skyrim? You know since its 10 year anniversary is coming up?

[lilac saffron]

I’m half and half on it since fallout 4 was more disliked than 3 or NV and it recently got a next gen update

[grand ferry]

Fallout fans get mad when u like fallout and not fallout

Scientifically proved

[fervent willow]

What's so special about this game?

[proven elm]

Speaking for myself, I adore Fallout 4's game world. It is by far my favorite game world in the series. I can spend hours wandering and exploring the Commonwealth. I love its game mechanics, NPC characterizations and much of the faction writing. I love Fallout 4's settlement building. And I think Boston is the best city BGS has created so far.

[fervent willow]

Ohh nice

Well I haven't experienced it yet

I do have every fallout I got from epic and got the 76 from prime gaminh

Gaming

But don't have this one so maybe but 76 or 4?

[flat wraith]

If u mean which game is better, four for sure

[fervent willow]

Hmm

[peak wing]

So chronologically, 4 is the last game in the series so far. Development wise it's the first to be based on its own engine, which 76 was made on.

[fervent willow]

Ohk

[lilac saffron]

Yeah it’s sucks how divided the community is all the games are fun in there own way

[strange slate]

It doesn’t need one

Also that’s literally just like buying the same game twice

I know Bethesda loves making Skyrim on every single platform so you buy it again but you don’t gotta with F4

I really despise anniversary editions for games after you already bought it

[strange slate]

It’s a game that isn’t particularly special in any of its mechanics, it has a fine combat system, the building is cool but also pretty annoying and not that important, I don’t think many of the quests were that interesting, the story is the weakest aspect of the game, overall I thought it was fine combat and story-wise. That being said, easily this is the best game to get into Fallout, it is not only the best game when it comes to accessibility and lore but it’s also the best for exploration. My first statement is quite down-playing the game but Fallout 4 is a special game because it is Fallout, or what Fallout is meant to be, open world exploration. It fully succeeds in that aspect and I congratulate 4 for it. The dlcs are by far the most entertaining btw. Previous critiques of the game and the critiques of my critiques have really made me think of the game introspect and realize what it really is: It is Fallout, in a way.

It’s very much a turn your brain off kind of game, a more casual exploration game, a Bethesda game even.

It’s Skyrim but Fallout, some say it’s Skyrim with guns

Either facetiously or genuinely, both as critique and as appraisal

This is about it for my opinion on Fallout 4, I could analyze in depthly but I have only played 200 hours of it. I am in no position to judge it and there are far more brazen loud-mouth critics who do it out of unnecessary frustration and others for genuineness

[dusk veldt]

Hello

Is anyone going to mention the fact that there is a war going on between Fallout 4 and New Vegas fans?

[velvet delta]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-stare-catstare-cat-stare-sus-catglare-cat-glare-gif-14942558849944709546

[lilac saffron]

That’s been a thing forever the community is very divided

[lilac saffron]

Both games are great

[proven elm]

This is not the Olympics. There is no "winner" when it comes to art and entertainment. Some folks prefer one, some prefer the other. Let's leave it at that.

[weak coyote]

Subjective.

[crimson canopy]

new vegas fr but i also like 4 and i dont really get why we need to start war between fans

[dreamy pewter]

quick question: in fallout 4 i rember finding a rocket shack. but i lost it and i cant find it again, does anyone know where its located?

[peak wing]

Are you talking about the moonshine shack?

[lilac saffron]

The one in the western glowing sea?

[dreamy pewter]

no i rember it was wooden and id had only a few fire extinqueschers that you could put onto a ramp and then shoot them so they would fly up and explode. rocket shack was a dumb explanation sorry

[weak coyote]

It's near fort Hagan, heading towards nuka world transit station, out in the middle of nowhere on the edge of a cliff, watch out for the minefield.

[lilac saffron]

Oh I was thinking about the shack in the glowing sea that leads into a big silo with a bunch of synths

[fervent willow]

Hello

[lilac saffron]

What's going on with the mods for fallout 4

[still marten]

The next gen update broke most of them

[lilac saffron]

Ok thanks

[lilac saffron]

What? Fallout 4? It's a really good game.
Great gameplay with a good blend of rpg mechanics and action.

Dialogue system is not great which is a shame.

Main story has it's flaws but there's plenty of well written side quests with really good stories.
The map is really good.

Overall. It Just Works

[lilac saffron]

It broke F4SE mods and most of em have been updated already

[jolly timber]

does anyone know why fallout 4 wont run 4k it will auto set to a lower resolution and make the game basically horrible to look at, I'm currently running no mods trying to get achievements.

[still marten]

How good is your pc

[jolly timber]

i have a rtx 4080 the resolution is just locked at 1980 x 1080

[still marten]

Before launching fo4 in the menu to finish launching fo4 click options it should pull up a menu on your desktop that should show the resolution.

[jolly timber]

it shows and ill try to switch to 4k but there is no resolution option for it then some times i can get it to run 2k but it just switches to 1080p when i start the game

[still marten]

Does fo4 even support 4k resolution

[jolly timber]

idk

[quiet dew]

I jus started playing for first time

[mighty hound]

So first time booting up FO4 since the issues with the next gen update so had question for everyone, did they fix the condo and the penthouse? Cause last I was on both were unuseable????

[odd wagon]

ng update still sucks

[lilac saffron]

I haven’t had any issues with it yet

[odd wagon]

it's fine for consoles but the pc version is almost unplayable

[mighty hound]

Same, been running fine but I'm just trying to see if the Charles town condo is working again

[lilac saffron]

There’s probably a mod to optimize it and fix bugs fallout 4 has one of the largest modding communities out there

[lilac saffron]

I've had no issues either. The update was kinda pointless but didn't really do anything absurd beyond some minor issues which were fixed

[weak coyote]

Wasn't pointless for me, the game runs much better on ps5... Ps4 was a crashing, freezing,4 frames a second constant headache nightmare.

And some of the bugs it introduced weren't fixed, not to mention all the prexisting bugs that weren't.

[lilac saffron]

Oh no the update did do some stuff on consoles.
On pc it was kinda pointless

[slim echo]

What’s the best way to decorate your interior of your base with items in your inventory that you can place down?

[weak coyote]

Make static mod

Because if Dogmeat walks by the wind will cause havok physics to go ballistic.

[still marten]

I don’t decorate I just put a workbench and a storage box

[mossy notch]

What y'all think is the best fallout 4 ending to go after

Just got the game

[lime timber]

Play it and see which faction you like most!

[lilac saffron]

does anyone know if the Fallout 4 Mod Menu is still broken for pc ? or is there a fix ? i just started playing again after a year and missed out on alot 💀

[still marten]

I enjoy the BoS ending but that’s my opinion.

Being on the BoS side can get you 2+ free suits of pa the standard issued knight pa and paladin danse’s pa.

But the first suit is free if you complete fire support and call to arms and then complete reunions. (this is what I think is the easy way)

The prydwen has to be around which only arrives after you get to the roof of fort hagen on the mission reunions.

[undone perch]

@lime timber is correct. Play the game and enjoy it how you'd like to.

Having said that, thanks to the show, it appears the Minutemen or the Brotherhood of Steel are the canonical choices.

[mossy notch]

Alright thanks guys

[weak coyote]

Whatever one makes sense for your roleplay

[still marten]

I got the softlocked ending on my first run (it’s not an official ending but my first run ended to a softlock)

[valid oriole]

Does anyone have any ideas for clothing that goes good with the Nuka world jumpsuit?

[sinful fjord]

Guys how far into the far harbor quest do you have to be to get the brotherhood of steel ending?

I told captain kells about the synth refuge as ive also told dima that im BOS and ive already gotten all of like the island and defense codes and keys but the only thing I havent done is help out the members of the synth refuge so do I have to do that first?

Ive always just chosen peace between everyone so idk

[weak coyote]

If your no mods, mining helmet for the flashlight.

[serene arch]

combat helmet with nuka cherry paint

[terse edge]

Hi, I have a problem, while Im playing Fallout 4 in a high res, my GPU (RTX 3060 12GB) is using aproximately its 90% of use and the VRAM is only 20% full, what can I do?

[kindred hearth]

I’m currently using a Gauss rifle for the main sniper in my vats build but want a good lower power and cheap caliber sniper for the average raider is there a good sniper for this (I have all dlc)

[still marten]

There’s a free sniper by the flag at dry rock gulch in nuka-world.

[kindred hearth]

Is there a story requirement to it because I haven’t done much of it lol

[still marten]

The mission to head to nuka world auto starts at lev 30

[kindred hearth]

Alr thanks

[still marten]

The mission is called taken for a ride.

[weak coyote]

Hunting rifle

[weak coyote]

You can go to Nuka-World straight from the vault at level 1.

[still marten]

If you know where the transit center is.

[still marten]

That was my main gun on my first run until I got the splattercannon

[subtle owl]

i agree with playing and seeing but i will give you a quick rundown of the playstyles of the factions

Minutemen: Building settlements and thats kinda it

Brotherhood: Free suits of power armor, vertibird grenades and some other cool shi

Railroad: Stealth, best pistol in the game

Institute: Main antagonist, ending has a fun quest imo

[tawdry wigeon]

The space suits in Nuka world give water breathing, rigth? If so they are actual space suits not replicas

Why Nuka cola spent money on a real space suit is beyond me

Only the Nukagirl one gives water breathing

[subtle owl]

even better question is why a damn donut and coffee is 30$

[tawdry wigeon]

Resource wars and everything?

[timid silo]

Is it a bad take to support brotherhood of steel because of the clean water they provide to the wasteland I relate to the minuteman but they don't have any proper structure

[still marten]

I hate the deliverer pistol (my opinion)

The sights on it are bad I would use it more if it had a red dot option

[subtle owl]

i never really liked using sights on anything other than rifles

[kindred hearth]

In pistol stealth builds I see a lot of people use the deliverer is there ever a upgrade to this or is it just the best for pistol stealth builds

[bold dirge]

Can fallout 4 be played at +120fps on pc? I’ve noticed dialogue overlapping

[languid orchid]

I generally limit it to 60. It tends to misbehave at anything higher.

[bold dirge]

How do I achieve that? I have a Nvidia 2080

[still marten]

My pc auto sets it to 60 fps

[languid orchid]

you can limit FPS in the Nvidia app

[mossy notch]

First ending I blew up the brotherhood

They where mean so I had to

[bold dirge]

I’ll give it a try

[mossy notch]

I'm chasing that platinum now

19 more trophies

[zenith topaz]

Is there a top hat in base game without mods

[still marten]

I have around 53 of the 70 give or take steam achievements.

Doesn’t help that there’s no hints

And to truly 100% fo4 you need to have the DLCs for the achievements

The hardest one is probably getting a settlement to 100%.

[weak coyote]

Help Preston establish a settlement for his people until he can be a companion, he escorts you to Diamond City for helping him... Get to the point where you need rad protection, help Danse and the BOS take care of the supermutant problem in exchange for a suit and flares,Danse helps you get through the area to find Virgil... Help Deacon so they trust you enough to decode it for you... Have the BOS build the device, they have the technical knowhow and resources... Use the Minutemen for the assault... Join Preston to rebuild after the war is over.

[weak coyote]

Only in Nuka-World.

[zenith topaz]

oh

[timid silo]

Minutemen are still behind in compared to other factions I don't want to put BOS in one category because some do have good intentions, railroad just want to free synths but they don't have any other motives or planning I am thinking of just gaining enough trust to get their perks n then making my choice

Sometimes I wish we could turn the institute towards another direction rather than making synths

[peak wing]

I sided with Minutemen, but have not completed the main story. I basically stopped Railroad once I got the quest/faction exclusive 1 piece armour attire.

[timid silo]

Yea most either side with minutemen or Bos I am trying to get all their perks before making a decision

[weak coyote]

Just writing out a roleplay that will let you touch all factions in one playthrough that makes sense within the story.

[subtle owl]

deacons quest isnt needed for main storyline.

[vestal sundial]

So quiet in here, all we got is my echo, my shadow, and me.

[kindred hearth]

im trying to get the polymer weave from tom in the railroad but when i talk to pam it dosnt let me actually talk to her it just says something about dabrovion method and all processes are occupied (i have already done boston after dark)

[vocal locust]

question - freezing legendary effect for laser musket - it adds 20 dmg each crank or it only adds additional 20 damage once at the end of cranking ?

[weak coyote]

It's a role-playing choice, the Railroad don't trust you enough to help you decode it, so do the mission with Deacon to gain thier trust.

[subtle owl]

there was a speech check i think. another option is a fatman and 2 nukes to decode it yourself

[weak coyote]

Your not hearing me...

[subtle owl]

The railroad has always helped decode the chip, even if its the first time you ever encounter them.

[weary hamlet]

What are we talking about here?

[subtle owl]

whether railroad helping decode chip requires deacons quest or not

[weak coyote]

Your not understanding... I'm talking about a roleplay choice that fits in to the story and makes sense... Making your own story, roleplay.

[weary hamlet]

Well that can be tested easily.

[subtle owl]

Oh

Well deacons quest is ass so i never do it

[timid silo]

Deacon seems like a funny guy though

[timid silo]

Tbh none is except the institute and any other faction

Fallout 4 has multiple storylines so most of it depends on what you are going for

NGL The synths created by the institute have more emotion than Shawn

[strange slate]

Real

[still marten]

I only went down the railroad route only for the achievements.

[sinful geode]

ever since the Next Gen update, whenever I try opening the in-game Mods Menu, the message "This operation could not be completed" shows up. Is this with everyone or is there something I need to do to fix this??

[lilac saffron]

Helloooo

[kindred hearth]

Does the defense and legendary enchants I have on armor prior to entering power armor still work , life if I had a 15% decrease from super mutant armor guard then enter power armor I still have that 15% decrease

[still marten]

I don’t think so

The power armor replaces your armor pieces while in it.

[peak wing]

It's been a while since I last played FO4, but from memory it's the same as 76, that body armour does not stack with PA, as being in PA basically "undresses" your body armour for the duration of PA use.

[weak coyote]

It's a common occurrence for most.

[weak coyote]

No, your armor switches to the power armor, as if you weren't wearing it.

[still marten]

Just blow up the institute

[undone perch]

Huh, I didn't know that.

[weak coyote]

Yeah they don't stack.

Please note that this is an English-only server. If you would like to discuss our games in other languages, you can do so here.

[weary hamlet]

When will they update Fallout 4 with the current generation updates like with giving Fallout 4 an updated experience with the Creation Club, maybe even try and actually fix certain bugs within the game, or maybe anything with maybe new Creation Club experiences like they've been giving to Skyrim - a game released in 2011 - and to actually retain playerbase for that game.

[next quail]

Anyone else can’t access mods

[still marten]

On my modded run getting in pa actually nerfs “the sole survivor”

But on any of my normal runs I rely on pa

[flat kestrel]

Yes I was wondering the same thing

[still marten]

Some don’t work because of the next gen update

[timid silo]

That's the end goal (:

[timid silo]

Don't think fallout 4 will have any more updates they already have fallout76

Once I finish the game I might try mods I want to make better settlements tbh

Some people have really nice ones with mods

Also Far harbour has been so hyped better be worth it

[still marten]

Hmmm I wonder if the diamond city security will notice the fact that some of their citizens went suddenly missing probably not cuz they can’t do s###. (I shot them on the mission diamond city blues so I can take everything for myself)

[timid silo]

They didn't even notice their mayor being a synth

[still marten]

He was a gen 3 synth not big surprise.

[timid silo]

Still synths act different someone must have noticed but no one seems to care

Like in the Warwick settlement

[still marten]

My survival run lost like two hours because of my one mistake in diamond city so you know how one of the brothers pull a gun on his brother I accidentally sent the one without the gun to heaven.

[timid silo]

Made them all hostile and on survival that's tough

[still marten]

It sent me all the way back to right after saving the minutemen when I saved last.

[timid silo]

Ok that's quite far back all that progress I always make sure to save on repeat

[still marten]

Remember in survival to save you need to have a bed

[timid silo]

Nvm I was about to ask then realised why would you in diamond city

[still marten]

It’s a required place to visit

[timid silo]

Should have paid the caps got that one settlement the mayor assistant offered

Yea ik

[still marten]

3k caps for a house or was it 2k

I don’t have that many caps that fast

[timid silo]

Which level were you

[still marten]

Around 3-6

Average time that visiting diamond city is.

I wasn’t about to go clear out corvega in survival.

[timid silo]

Could have increased level by making the red rocket livable sort of I wouldn't go far on that level not diamond city

Unless a gen 3 synth behaves radically different from the original they can be unnoticeable, the synth that replaced Mayor McDonough probably had behavior similar to the original, whereas the synth that replaced Roger Warick was the total opposite, the synth was kind and hardworking and the original Roger was a lazy mean drunkard. Not to mention the original McDonough was an unknown to the people of Diamond City and they wouldn't have noticed any radical changes to his behavior anyway as he was replaced before he became Mayor, probably before he even got to Diamond City or at the very least shortly after. But if I had to guess he was replaced before he got to Diamond City as his decision to pursue politics once he got there surprised even his brother John Hancock.

[dapper lodge]

Hey does anyone know if the Amoral Combat quest still pops up if you kill the Raiders in Nuka World?

[quartz lake]

Free Minutemen skins in the creation club right now btw

[rain osprey]

I believe it doesnt show up, as you need certain raider npcs to give you the quest

So youd need to complete the whole nuka world questline and side w the raiders to get amoral combat (assuming you want aeternus)

[weak coyote]

There is plenty to do otherwise in the top left of the map, on survival, it's a good idea, and quite possibly the intended way to go,to stay around there and gain some levels and perks, build a survival settlement(s), gear up, gain a companion, etc...and clearing Corvega isn't really a problem on survival, they are low level raiders.

[weak coyote]

It's good, only issue I have with it is having to walk around the mountain to get most places... And it's always dark.

[urban harbor]

That’s not just you, I found myself scrambling to spot the little trails between the mountain before I got lost in the darkness.

[timid silo]

I think he got replaced after tbh

[timid silo]

I have seen many prefer the gloomy atmosphere tbh

[timid silo]

Has anyone seen an albino radstag while playing

[lilac saffron]

No, is that another creature my son made?

Wait me having this profile is not against rules, right?

[west trout]

Yes. The chances of seeing any creature that is albino depends on your difficulty setting and location on the map. Adjust difficulty higher, and go to any place where they hang out. The further south you go, the better the chances. To the left of egret tours on the rocky ledges will spawn two and I know they were glowing and albino for me once.

[green mango]

All we do know is it happened before he became Mayor and we don't know how long he was in Diamond City before he ran for Mayor. But the lore suggests that he ran for Mayor almost as soon as he got there, so he hadn't been there long enough for anyone to actually get too know him if he had been replaced after he got there.

[short tusk]

no

[lilac saffron]

I wish they didn’t do the building base stuff…that kind of turned me off of this game…

[flat wraith]

What?

[short tusk]

Just don't build

[flat wraith]

Exactly?? Unless you're doing the minute men ending there's zero reason to build

[lilac saffron]

I played it when it came out. I beat it. I just forgot about some of the stuff I didn’t enjoy…

[minor crescent]

i know this chat isnt problem solving thing but i cant start up fallout 4 with steam

and no im not using any mod..

[still marten]

I’ve seen one albino deathclaw and two albino radscorps all in the glowing sea.

[storm locust]

i forgot if Albino Radstags leading you to loot was a thing in 4 or 76 only.

[dull perch]

It’s my first time playing. Trying to decide between joining BoS or staying with minutemen. How much difference does it make to the game?

[odd wagon]

BoS is better

[glacial remnant]

I didn't complete the game with The Minutemen, but I did with the brotherhood of steel, I think they have a more entertaining story, I also found it to be an incredible faction since Fallout 3

I heard that to play the final mission with the Minutemen, you have to get most of the settlements. Which doesn't seem that entertaining to me.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong

[weak coyote]

You can play the entire game, accept for two or so quests, never building anything settlement related ...live in diamond city, buy what you need for survival.

[weak coyote]

Completely different questlines and endings.

[weak coyote]

Not a thing in 4 as far as I've experienced, they either just run away or attack like any other radstag.

[dull perch]

Thanks! Decided to go with BoS

[glacial remnant]

No problem! Enjoy the game.

[peak wing]

Sometimes games need to follow the market trend. FO4 was made at the time that Minecraft and same/similar genre games became mainstream. It's not unreasonable for Fallout franchise to actually have a settlement building element, which is in essence part of the core of the whole story.

[red totem]

here's a wild bug. fo4 will not recognize my controller until i visit this website https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad

i dont need to do this extra step for skyrim or halo mcc. im downright nonplussed.

[timid silo]

Ooh

[timid silo]

Seen albino deathclaw as well

[timid silo]

I think mine is normal and I saw a couple

I heard a youtuber saying the show made more sense with either the minutemen ending or BOS

Some people tried to fix their ghoul family members I forgot where I read it but someone did try to educate a ghoul it's just sad he couldn't let go

[balmy grove]

The settlement building is probably one of my favorite parts. I love the Sims so I felt pretty at home building these bases and towns, decorating them with clutter, etc to make them feel lived in

[peak wing]

That's only because the TV show has implied the BoS ending is canon, so far.

[lilac saffron]

Different ideologies really.
One wants to help all and stay independent, one wants to eradicate all artificial life and militarize the place

Also the MM's overall tone depends on you.
They can be kind and hopeful or rude and aggressive.

[timid silo]

BOS had some good leaders well actually one we know of in fallout 3

[timid silo]

Or minuteman really but whose following the show don't you think it's better to treat as a separate entity idk

[west trout]

It's been 3 or 4 years since i have done a vanilla no mods play on Xbox. I wanted to enjoy next gen update without mod crashes and long load times.
About 5 days in of play, my FPS got super choppy anywhere and everywhere. I cleared the system cache (hold power button for 10 seconds) and luckily that fixed it.

[earnest trellis]

Is there anyway to quick bind unarmed without having to go into my pip-boy

[covert eagle]

To my knowledge there's no vanilla way to do so, https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4653/

[earnest trellis]

alr thanks

[undone perch]

The Brotherhood of Steel was very different in Fallout 3 The Elder in charge had a different mentality and wanted to help the people of the wasteland. The rest of the Brotherhood outside of the Captiol Wasteland disagreed with this, as did members of the Brotherhood in said wasteland. They left and formed the Outcasts.

Now about a decade later, the leadership has changed and the Brotherhood is following it's more traditional role/mission now. Which means technology first, people when/if it's convenient.

[hollow stump]

Who do I have to contact bout the stupid mod limit on FO4 XBOX X it's madness!

[earnest trellis]

Are there any ways to make up for a lack of armor? Like via perks and such. I wanna have more survivabilty while still looking like something cool

[zinc rampart]

does anyone else punch piper during the mission jewel of the commonwealth to open the gates faster

i feel kinda alone.

[weak coyote]

Ballistic weave.
Mods like UCO.

[earnest trellis]

is ballistic Weave a mod or is that vanilla?

[weak coyote]

Vanilla

[earnest trellis]

alr thanks

[weak coyote]

Join the Railroad

[earnest trellis]

alr, sounds good

[weak coyote]

You can gain access to ballistic weave without doing main story, so helping the Railroad can work with pretty much any roleplay

[earnest trellis]

perfect! Thanks!

[harsh ferry]

Is Nate a war criminal or not? Because Nate was discharged from the army in 2074, but the full annexation of Canada was around 2076-2077

[clear holly]

https://tenor.com/view/fallout-1-fallout-2-fallout-buy-war-bonds-brotherhood-of-steel-gif-9703526309986289369

[clear holly]

What War Crimes? He was a good man!

[peak wing]

The show is canon with the over-arcing story, so not exactly.

[upbeat acorn]

Depends who you ask

Given the willingness to commit war crimes after being unfrozen I imagine it's not a stretch to assume previous war criminal activity

Also emil said it in a tweet so it must be true

[harsh ferry]

Yeah, he did. But doesn’t that kind of contradict the lore?

[upbeat acorn]

Not if you don't think about it

[harsh ferry]

Ok

[upbeat acorn]

Also the wiki says the annexation began in 2072

[harsh ferry]

It does? I apologize, I must’ve gotten the dates wrong

[upbeat acorn]

June 3, 2072. Cited source is the capitol post terminals in fallout 3

[jagged dragon]

Anyone got any courser names for a character?

[weak coyote]

Prototype XYZ- 01

[serene arch]

Anne Droyd

[lean kettle]

343 Guilty Spark

[peak wing]

Synther

[jolly zodiac]

help

[undone perch]

Wait, why are we saying the Nate is a war criminal?

[velvet delta]

What do you need help with?

[tribal valve]

Blame Emil

[glacial remnant]

No.

[wise junco]

i can't find anything stating when Nate left the army. do you have a source for that?

[ocean perch]

Emil Pagliarulo (lead writer on Fo4) joked on twitter that Nate was the guy who executed a canadian civilian in the intro of the first game.
A lot of people misunderstood the joke

[languid orchid]

I don't think he was joking, I think he actually wanted that to be real.

[upbeat acorn]

I love that the nategate controversy started because of a tweet and now it's being accepted by the fans as canon

[harsh ferry]

Oh I heard someone else say he was discharged in 2074.

[upbeat acorn]

I can't find a cited source on that claim

Given the age of Shaun it's entirely possible he was in the military up until late 2076/very early 2077

[wise junco]

somehow i think the actual joke was worse: he said Nate was the one laughing at the execution

[upbeat acorn]

Nate was part of the national guard so dealing with insurrections would be something he was tasked with. Executing canadian protestors did happen as per the fallout 1 cinematic, so it's not impossible to assume he participated in it

He's referred to as a war hero, and while it's possible he earned that fighting in Alaska, we can't rule out his actions in Canada

[lilac saffron]

It wasn't a joke. He was serious.
He then backtracked that it was just his headcanon

[upbeat acorn]

Also if the guy who writes real canon also writes it, that lends credence to it

Headcanon from the canon canon guy should be canon imo

[lilac saffron]

Oh no. He's just the lead. There's plenty of other writers

He can't just randomly add something without others' approval

Plus he said it was non canon. Just his headcanon

Sufficed to say he should've been careful randomly tweeting something like that

[harsh ferry]

Ohhh. Ok, it makes sense now. Thank y’all!

[earnest trellis]

What kind of playthrough would be best to do with Strong as a companion? Like what kind of stats

[manic slate]

Honestly I'd look up the best "heavy" build layouts, nothing stealth/sniper focused. Optimize damage, decide whether you wanna use melee or guns primarily. It doesn't really matter beyond that, just go tanky however you wanna approach that

[earnest trellis]

alr thanks!

[manic slate]

No prob

[lapis obsidian]

Also if you want to be a jerk you can use him as a distraction while you do sneak attacks. He wants to fight so let him fight!

[manic slate]

Thats not even jerk behavior that's just strategic if anything as well

[clear holly]

If you're going to be using strong you'll want to avoid power armor and use Cannibal perk often

[earnest trellis]

thanks, guys!

[earnest trellis]

Im trying to get more settlers, im stuck at 6, what are the requirements, I currently have 6 charisma and a lot of the requirment things on the top of the workshop hud

[peak wing]

Do you have enough beds?

[vestal crown]

I can't get the wasteland workshop dlc to work in
Fallout 4 It appears in my DLC list in the main menu But doesn't work in game And I have no mods installed Can anyone help

[peak wing]

Did you install it?

[vestal crown]

yes

[sterile thunder]

Can you wear power armor helmets without the rest of the armor? Pretty sure you can in FO3

[weak coyote]

Something completely opposite to him, so you both fill what's lacking in eachother.

[weak coyote]

Build a recruitment beacon and wait... Raise your charisma.

[still marten]

Normal helmets work with pa

But you have to have a exoskeleton of pa to equip the pa helm

[weak coyote]

Power armor in fo3 functions like armor pieces do in 4....since you need a frame in 4 to equip power armor pieces, no.

[manic slate]

Jesus this game is a nightmare on PS5

out of literally no where too, I only started having problems yesterday

stick drift, crashing, corrupted save files, the whole nine yards. It's not unplayable but its been pretty damn obnoxious. Anyone else?

[weak coyote]

Not my experience, it runs way better compared to ps4... Crashes occasionally, invisible npcs, the usual bugs that exist on ps4, but yeah ps5 version is much better performance wise... Performance mode 60fps.

BTW the stick drift I bet is the left joystick,its the trash ps5 controllers made during covid, they used cheap parts because everything was shut down, I've had two controllers in a year... But my 5 year old ps4 controller is practically new.

[manic slate]

It's actually the right joystick. I've had absolutely no problems up until the past few days. I think it got worse over the past few hours too cuz just now I probably broke like 10 bobby pins trying to open a NOVICE lock because the drift was so bad

can't go more than a few seconds without my camera stuttering and lagging to the left

My god it's not just fallout 4 actually, it's all my games. Just tested out spiderman 2. This thing is awful 💀

[empty cradle]

There’s not a way to lock doors from npcs is there? Im about to wall off my bedroom from them🤣

[manic slate]

Nah 💀 I randomly find jun long in my bed sometimes, as if there's not sleeping halls established in the buildings right next door

[peak wing]

No.
On my Sanctuary base, I tried bordering the lore home with obstacles... but settlers still manage to spawn inside.

[weak coyote]

Powered door, npc's can't use switches.

And you can assign settlers to specific beds

[weak coyote]

It's your controller, not the games.

[still marten]

Stick drift isn’t the game

Go fix your controller

[jolly zodiac]

please help me guys

i cant play my fallout normal

i have some kind of glitch, I cant sprint and I cant see my pipboy when I press the button to acces to it

[still marten]

Just exit fo4 and re open it

[jolly zodiac]

is there anybody in this community that cals himself some kind of expert and not give me this kind of stupid solutions that everyone tryes

[still marten]

I had the same problem and that fixed it for me.

[jolly zodiac]

it isnt fix okay, i tryed everything from reopening it to veryfying the files of the game

it doesnt work

[still marten]

If it was one of those and not both at the same time I know how to fix it. I was just giving a simple way to possibly fix it.

[jolly zodiac]

is there any other solution?

[pale rover]

Have you passed the opening

[jolly zodiac]

waht?

[pale rover]

Have you entered and left vault 111

[jolly zodiac]

dude ofc i am, i liberated the castle for minutemen\

[pale rover]

Ok just checking lol

[velvet delta]

https://tenor.com/view/hmm-sus-suspicious-stare-eyes-on-you-gif-7197827967440963024

[manic slate]

Yeah, that's what I was saying. Thought it was more present on fo4 but it's just as bad on others.

[earnest trellis]

I really wanna play Survival but I don't want to risk crashing after playing for a long time, ive crashed a total of 3 times in my 400 hours of fallout so far. But I don't like to take risks, is it worth it?

[undone perch]

I remember that. I thought he clarified that Nate was the second solider, the one who did not perform the execution, and the thought process behind the character is that he's been through the ringer through his military service and that it left a mark/trauma on him.

[undone perch]

Funny, I started having stick drift issues with my right stick as well. I'm playing on Xbox Series X though.

Tested and recalibrated the stick via the Xbox Accessories App but the problem persists. Tested in Diablo IV and Skyrim and the stick is acting up there to, so it's clearly my controller, sadly.

[undone perch]

Another step is to test with a new game/character and see if the issues persist.

If it doesn't, your save is corrupted and you'll need to go back to an earlier save before the crashing.

[manic slate]

Yeah I plan on recalibrating mine when I get home today, and if that doesn't work I'll consider taking it apart. I seriously don't wanna spend 70 bucks on a new controller, ts is ridiculous

[clear holly]

If you think it's dirt you could blow into the stick that's what I do and it temporarily fixes it hate taking electronics apart

[manic slate]

Tried that already. And yeah, taking it apart scares me cuz I never do that sort of thing and I don't wanna screw something up.

[undone perch]

Yeah. I'm going to try some compressed air later and if that doesn't fix the issue, I'll use an Xbox One Controller I have until the Xbox Series Controller go on sale, and then buy a replacement.

[sharp flume]

Hello, I have a problem with the institutionalized mission. When I load the network scanner, the mission does not end and I cannot teleport from the institute to the surface. Can you help me?

[frigid forum]

Hello, I have a problem with the game Fallout 4. What happens is that when I'm walking, the game closes by itself, it doesn't give a crash notice, it just closes without further ado. This happens a few seconds after joining my game.

I'm from PC

and I don't have mods

[velvet delta]

Please review the troubleshooting article here for something that may help: https://help.bethesda.net/#en/home/product/695/fallout4cat/8/platform/3/techissuetype/587

[frigid forum]

it has not served me

[velvet delta]

In that case, you can also try submitting a ticket here so our tech agents can take a look at this with you.

[opaque scroll]

Can anyone help me with the rail road ending? I’ve done synth retention and the battle of bunker hill (I let the synths go) but z14 hasn’t made his signal yet?

[peak wing]

Check Applications section of Event Viewer.

[opaque scroll]

I swear the railroad ending is the worst

[still marten]

You have to go past the one mission where you “borrow” the agitator.

It’s after the mission powering up

[carmine jewel]

Hey guys i'm having trouble with the mods some reason i can't use

[weak coyote]

Just sleep to save, there are sleeping bags, mattresses and beds everywhere.

[earnest trellis]

alr thanks

[weak coyote]

7 hours for rested

But 1 hour will save

Saving really isn't an issue on survival, before long you will spot and memorize where beds are.

Survival is the best way to play the game, you get more outta the game.

[proven elm]

This is the vanilla Fallout 4 chat. If you have questions or comments pertaining to mods feel free to post them in #fallout-4-modsor#1067505929534320700

[still marten]

I always enjoy killing the pillars of the community but one time I did that the fallout god punished me by crashing my game.

[frosty cairn]

You know I really wish that when they make fallout 5 or whatever when we go in the vault do you think it would be nice to like live in the vault for a little bit

[opaque scroll]

So I have to do mass fusion quest with the institute?

[tawny lion]

is anyone else having a problem with Fallout 4 just closing on Steam? Im trying to open it but once I get passed the menu the game just closes and it doesnt give me a error message or anything

[weak coyote]

You can do that in 4,build one.

[lilac saffron]

Mods

I heart

Mods

[still marten]

Yup it’s almost to the final mission for the institute.

[north wraith]

Yo so I’ve got a problem with the beginning of Danses quest where all of the ghouls have been cleared but he’s soft locked into a combat stance I’m on console and I was doing a survival run is there anyway to fix it potentially or am I cooked

[subtle owl]

reload save

[upper owl]

Tryna record fallout 4 modded but the footage goes in 20-25 fps it's kinda annoying 😔

[weak coyote]

If you got the " check your fire" bug, that playthrough is forever going to have this, even if you reload an earlier save... You have to start over on a new save, or use a mod to force the quest stage.

[earnest trellis]

Whats the best way to make a place look cluttered instead of empty? I see some people put items into crates but I thought they would despawn. do they?

[north wraith]

Ah ok

[north wraith]

They don’t

[earnest trellis]

alr thanks

[weak coyote]

Anything you build is safe storage, except for a few specific containers.

[weak coyote]

Best is to use a mod like "make static" because anything you place down otherwise will eventually fall over or get flung into orbit.

[earnest trellis]

thanks!

[clear holly]

Even without mods you can make a place look busy and cluttered using the right amount of wall decorations and decorum to naturally make a place lived in and natural

Couches in a lounge room with end tables, ashtrays, and cigarette machines flags or paintings on the walls maybe both is my staple

And potted plants from that one magazine you can find

[iron mirage]

Guy is it possible to get a virus from the PlayStation mods?

[still marten]

Any device can get a virus just some are at a higher risk.

[peak wing]

You're going to have to explain your situation...

[stable cargo]

no it isn’t

[upper owl]

I guess a mod that can break the game is possible to get,not an actual virus though

[trail kestrel]

im a guy in fallout 4 but sometimes shaun will call me mom for some reason has that happened to anyone else?

[still marten]

You running alone or do you have a companion?

[trail kestrel]

Alone

[weak coyote]

No

It's not possible to get a virus on Playstation

[errant echo]

https://tenor.com/view/captain-america-marvel-avengers-gif-14328153

[lilac saffron]

I am going to be an absolute fool and ask!

Do you need PC FO4 to mod it using Bethesda's creation kit?

[vague basin]

Yes

[peak wing]

Consoles are designed to be closed environments. You generally cannot install anything that's not funnelled through the platform's app store.

So they cannot get viruses in the traditional sense, so the person who brought up the topic needs to explain what they did.

[weak coyote]

Most likely new to Bethesda games and doesn't know they are buggy.

[subtle owl]

OCdecorator mod, lets you place down junk but instead of it getting knocked over it stays there

[storm pine]

@neon hearth

[lilac saffron]

I wish FO4 had actual game progression, like towns such as Concord and Lexington getting cleared and settled, vehicles being repaired and drove around by the end game faction, population growing and more people on the roads...

[still marten]

Raiders would take over Lexington since raiders have a base at the factory (I can’t remember the name my memory sucks and I haven’t played in a week)

[strange slate]

It’s almost like the story and worldbuilding of Fallout 4 is weaker than the other Fallouts

[strange slate]

Corvega?

[still marten]

Yea

[proud compass]

Well that may be so.
Institute will overwhelm them with Synths
BoS will wipe them off the face of the earth
Minutemen already cleared Corvega (the Sole Survivor)

[still marten]

I haven’t seen raiders in combat with the BoS too much except for the nuka raiders

[proud compass]

In terms of a standard Vertibird Squad, BoS would absolutely wipe the floor with Corvega

2 T-60B- assuming one spawns with a Gatling Laser, the Raiders are cooked

[earnest trellis]

I wish the Atom Cats were more official in their faction. Like slight effects to large parts of the game where you can talk like elvis or a member of a 1940s street gang member. it'd be funny

[upper owl]

Hey its me John fallout

[earnest trellis]

is there anyway to get access to the nuka cola settlement objects without pissing off preston

since he hates raiders, I saw in a video he reacts bad if you join them

[upper owl]

Only way Is if you didnt meet Preston yet and have yet to be the general

[earnest trellis]

alr, thanks

[upper owl]

You can do the raider quests and then meet up with preston

[silver helm]

Thanks

[still marten]

As soon as you plant a raider flag in the commonwealth Preston’s affinity drops immediately to the point that he won’t be able to be a companion.

[earnest trellis]

hm, alright, thank you

[still marten]

But also you never have to finish when freedom calls you only need Murphy to tell you about dc.

For the main storyline

You can go to nuka-world whenever (if you have the dlc)

[violet wing]

is there a specific place i should ask questions for help or is in here fine?

[still marten]

I normally help people here so I done see a problem.

What’s your problem? @violet wing

[violet wing]

basically ive played the game before on keyboard and mouse and loved it and i want to replay it however i wanted to do it with a PS5 controller however i cant get that to work. Xbox controllers work but not PS5 or PS4

[still marten]

I’m pretty sure PlayStation controllers aren’t compatible with a pc

[violet wing]

oh, i thought they were, i could have sworn somewhere said they were. nevermind then

thank you anyway

[uncut jasper]

They work with PC. Even says so on contollers site. https://www.playstation.com/en-us/accessories/dualsense-wireless-controller/

[opaque scroll]

Would you guys rather do the benevolent leader trophy again or rail road ending

[weak coyote]

No issues with either.

[wise panther]

does any of you know how to fix this?

[vocal locust]

Guys, whats you opinion about differend ending? I just finished Minutemen ending and while the story is painfully short(there are only a three characters in it: Sturges, Garvey and Shaw (However, during the game I miraculously met Ben Gibson who also joined the Minutemen - it happened first time since I play this game) and defeating the institute is not thrilling at all, that said - defeating the secondary antagonist of the story, the Brotherhood of Steel, is one of the coolest tasks in the game... Defend The Castle against BoS is quite spectacular.

somehow fighting a theoretically stronger, better-armed opponent has an element of coolness that I can't quite define yet.

[jagged dragon]

I have 5 poison resistance but nothing I have no armor that increases it?

[jagged dragon]

Found it, it was a magazine I found earlier

[earnest trellis]

Is there anyway to get a good supply of plasma cartridges

[bold ruin]

Does anyone here know how to optimize fallout 4 for fullscreen? It runs abolutely godlike on high settings when windowed, but in fullscreen it's a nightmare

are there any settings that can help with this?

[weak coyote]

A mod for manufacturing that adds the recipe to the ammo builder.

Otherwise just have to check every vendor everytime your near one

[dull pivot]

Is anyone else's Fallout 4 not letting them go into mods?

[earnest trellis]

Alr, thanks!

[jagged dragon]

Does anyone actually care about creation club? I don't mind dropping money to get something honestly worth it, like the sentinel power armor

[maiden grail]

Well damn, 5 minutes looking through the fallout subreddit, there's a LOT of hostility towards Nora players?? What's that all about?

Nvm it's just some disgruntled players, not in general

[lilac saffron]

Anyone know any good performance mods to stop frame drops?

[weak coyote]

Disable god rays, lens flares, and grass reduction

[weak coyote]

Common occurrence since the next gen update

[dull pivot]

How do I fix it?

[still marten]

You don’t it’s basically gambling now.

[weak coyote]

We are all waiting for them to drop another update.
Until then, just keep trying to open the menu, and hope you can install some before operation cannot be completed...

Actually enioying it, besides the Mirelurk Queen (wtf)

[clear holly]

Vault Tec Workshop is a ton of fun underrated Fallout 4 dlc

[silent gazelle]

My brother in Todd, Thems fightin’ words

I got lost in that damned vault

And I was FORCED to survive on Jet and dirty water till I found my way out

[clear holly]

I've built many a shantytowns in Vault 88 its one of my favorite settlements

[silent gazelle]

I’m neither creative nor do I have the Aderall prescription necessary to put a functioning society down there

I built a small shack and I live there with my HAREM.

[clear holly]

I built an Enclave Base down there last playthrough with a normal pawn shop looking place at that one entry point near university point but Vault 88 also killed that playthrough (probably my fault for using mods) game kept crashing

[silent gazelle]

Bruh, I love the pawn shop entrance to the vault

That’s my Armory

I store all my guns and the trophies I take off my enemies.

[clear holly]

My armory will always be Sanctuary it's home

[silent gazelle]

Sanctuary stopped being my home cause Preston lives there

[upbeat acorn]

Why not just move him

I keep him in a stockade at my main hub at starlight

[silent gazelle]

Apocalypse rules, he claimed it along with his merry band of dumbasses

[odd wagon]

did they fix the slow loading yet

[upbeat acorn]

Buddy it's a ten year old bethesda game, wdym yet

[clear holly]

I always move Preston to the castle some playthroughs all the companions go there

[midnight scaffold]

Does anyone know how to fix the glitch on taking independence mission? I destroyed every egg clutch and killed the mirelurk queen but it still not letting me continue

[hybrid mantle]

Salutations! how goes the wasteland wandering?

[hybrid mantle]

have you got a save prior to the mission to then redo it? normally works for me when a goofy bug pops up

[midnight scaffold]

Not one close enough to that mission

[hybrid mantle]

ooohf😬

[clear holly]

Yeah usually the only fix for stuff like that is reverting to an earlier save

[midnight scaffold]

I mean I'm sure people have mentioned it before to the developer on their socials in the past im surprised it still an issue

Is there really no other fix?

[hybrid mantle]

it happenned for me with the all hallows eve radio station but i didnt realise i had to revert back untill six hours into a playthrough

[hybrid mantle]

not that i know of sadly

[midnight scaffold]

I already completed the game with the brotherhood I just wanted to take the castle on the side for fun

It just won't let me continue that mission

[hybrid mantle]

hmmmm

[hybrid mantle]

could be bc it clashes with the brotherhood ending as part of that you may have to defend the castle from the BoS if you did the minuteman ending

[weak coyote]

Should have to defend the castle from a gunner attack if you've already completed the main story... I'm probably wrong.

[hybrid mantle]

oh yeah

i did that

[frail pivot]

Hey all, i played fallout4 on ps4 back when it came out but bought fallout4 with all dlc’s on pc yesterday 😋 i was wondering of There is a specific discord channel or so for tips en useful trics for fallout 4 i love the franchise always have but i know for sure i miss some key know en hows of the game;p

[hybrid mantle]

ill hapily give some tips here if youd like

[orchid mulch]

I completed the main story with the brotherhood ending and still had to defend the castle from synths

Speaking of does Preston ever stop being mad at me for blowing up the institute or is he always going to initiate the “intitute’s gone guess that’s good” convo

He won’t even let me trade with him or be my companion anymore

[hybrid mantle]

survival mode is so interesting, on the one hand its so difficult but on the other its peacefully slow

[hybrid mantle]

whats everyones favourite settlement and why?

[velvet delta]

I like the drive in. Something about living at the drive in movie place is fun for me. I know its one of the first ones, but it's my favorite still.

[still marten]

Are you a raider or not

[orchid mulch]

No

[still marten]

He shouldn’t be at affinity well in the negatives

[orchid mulch]

I like sanctuary hills because it’s the only settlement with a happiness rating above 80% for me😭

[clear holly]

Base game Kingsport Lighthouse for sure with dlc? Tied between Vault 88 and Nuka World Red Rocket

[hybrid mantle]

thats a good ahout

[hybrid mantle]

fair lmao same

[hybrid mantle]

same bro kingaport is so good!!

[clear holly]

It's hard to pick a settlement i really like cause there's a handful of really good ones and a few what I call "feeder settlements" that are painfully small and hard to like

[frail pivot]

@hybrid mantle hey would love some tips 😊 i played a few playthroughs but never got to the end of the base game. Mostly have the feeling i get stuck with gear or weapon upgrades like i do things wrong or feel that the enemies are to strong for me. Always used to play with same type of guns also XP maybe thats my fault. I just have the feeling inmiddels a key element somewhere or a big detail to play better ☺️

[hybrid mantle]

maybe scale down the difficulty if your struggling, id recommend getting the overseers guardian from vault 81 (abt 2k+ caps but worth it). then putting the highest damage reciever on it. for ammo do the unlucky valantine quest and pick up all the guns (think you get 20% of guns mag from doing so) from the triggermen as thatll give a lot (700ish)
theres no rush on finishing the game and what ive found fun is just meandering around and it should get easier the higher level. getting max solar powered (10 endurance) and max goulish (9endurance) basically eliminate radiation as an issue. aquaboy/gurl (endurance5) removes water as a problem. idk if this helps or not ive just gotten very very excited and just dumped stuff, hopefully its not imposing or am speeking down, if so thats not the intention and in sorry abt that

[molten pilot]

the fun is basically do anything else

[hybrid mantle]

as for pistols you could go to the gainer which is a baller .44 pistol. you could go for the deliverer (from the start of the railroad quest) but that is gard to upgrade. may have to google how to get it bc its in an unmarked location. if you want a heft amount of wood for building you may have to swim out to spectacle island (will need to clear mirelurks and a mirelurk queen). you may need a suply line to get it to the mainland easily unless you have strong back at max level (strength 6) or dont mind crawling back to your settlement.
companions are down to personal choice however if you want to save on stimpacks companions heal themseleves so you dont have to heal them.

[molten pilot]

explore, do quests, have an adventure

If u rlly like making settlements u can do that

[hybrid mantle]

ye lmao i found roleplaying a lighthouse keeper at kingsport real fun

[molten pilot]

Imo the side quests are a lot more fun than the moments in the main story

love being the Silver Shroud vs freeing synths for the railroad

[hybrid mantle]

real asf, hang on ive not done that this playthrough

[molten pilot]

i actually like Nuka World’s theme but like the story for Far Harbor

however handmade rifle carries for me

[hybrid mantle]

this map can also help with giving you a rough idea how tough enemies are

https://www.gamepressure.com/static/mapy/en/gfx/map_1555.jpg

[molten pilot]

Aka, glowing sea is Deathclaw hell

[hybrid mantle]

yep

fun as all heck late game

[molten pilot]

after the next gen update i practically made a whole Enclave build, tbh its the most fun ive had

[hybrid mantle]

i just got access to next gen content and am too low level to go glowing see rn and obtain all the enclave stuff 🥲, gotta try it when next possible

[molten pilot]

there are enclave outposts around

[hybrid mantle]

oh yeah thats true actually

[molten pilot]

if u get the makeshift weapons, you can basically get a free powerful fat man

And the chinese grenade launcher

[hybrid mantle]

oh yeah those are so op !!

[molten pilot]

the makeshift stuff are pretty neat design wise

[hybrid mantle]

yeah their so cool (bar the goofy aah ammo)

[molten pilot]

i hope they do more for the 2nd season of the show

[molten pilot]

would love NCR remnants just somehow moved into Boston

recreate a Brotherhood vs NCR conflict

[hybrid mantle]

we need more factions oh my yesss!!!

[clear holly]

The Side Quests are Bethesdas bread and butter for some reason the Side Quests are always better in some regard to vast swathes of the main Quests

I wish Fallout 4 had more unique side Quests at various settlements

The Forged Questline and The General Idea of The Slog are some the greater examples of what I'm talking about

[hybrid mantle]

its such a missed chance! they gotta swap their writing teams around for fallout 5 (in about 7 melenia)

[clear holly]

I'm not discounting main quest writers but it definitely feels like Side Quests have more freedom to be interesting existing outside the main plot, its hard to write a good main story for an open world game

[hybrid mantle]

thats a good point, didnt see that perspective. ig it is hard to write a story for an open world. the open world bit is probably the worst bit as its so restrictive in terms of plot (ironically)

[clear holly]

Side Quests get to be their own isolated incidents so it's easier to create something unique and different although a lot of the main quest has these moments like building the ||Mass Relay Device|| and Powering on ||Liberty Prime||

[hybrid mantle]

ig the annoying imo thing is most of the main quests are fetch quests in some way (some better disguised than others). admitted there is no easy way of differing from that type of quest but after a point they can feel samey

[clear holly]

I think the weakest point of Fallout 4s Main Questline is the beginning up until you start tracking down the cereal brand

[hybrid mantle]

yeah post cerials its on the up but before that its meeeh at best

[clear holly]

It's both the games weakest and strongest point because before you reach the great green jewel the game just kind of tells you where to go giving you a ton of freedom from between those two points

[clear holly]

It's a shame that most of the best parts of the games main quest is mostly related to actions down by or for the ||brotherhood||

A lot of the other endings lack the epic feeling I get from that avenue although The ||Railroad has the best Prydwyn Takedown quest||

[hybrid mantle]

even then you can just skip it and go straight to || park street station || meaning youve got enough freedom to just skip it enitirely snd the story feels so free

[clear holly]

I feel bad for anyone who had that happen on their first playthrough you'd have missed out on quite a bit of fun

[hybrid mantle]

if thats the one where you have to || sneak onto the prydwin and destroy it|| then ye i 100% agree but even the stuff leading up to it is || the institute questline but with more steps and deacon getting more pissed with you even though your doing what needs to be done to get the railroad ending||

[hybrid mantle]

yeah that is rough, seeing diamond city for the first time is such a feeling

[clear holly]

||The Railroad feels written the most human in the ending i really liked Tinker Tom's Banter while flying the vertibird but I agree it's the weakest ending lead up since the institute quest stuff at least for me is incredibly boring||

I think they really blew it with the way ||The Institute|| was written and the choices you can make for their ending if you side with them at the least there should have been one last meeting between the heads to let you decide where they are going after the leader dies

[hybrid mantle]

exactly!! ||i can see how it could be intended to feel like an espionage spy thing but it juuust missed||

[clear holly]

I will say ||The Minutemen|| ending was done dirty it could have been so much more but that's what personal imagination is for

In my headcanon every time you do that ending the sole survivor creates an east coast NCR type government and rallies the entire commonwealth under one flag where the sole survivor builds up all of the wasteland establishing Caravan routes between them the whole shabang

[hybrid mantle]

thats auch a a cool shout

[still marten]

I love when around 60% of my inventory is only heals. (I don’t need that many heals)

[hybrid mantle]

yes

[opaque scroll]

Do I have too give Allie Gilmore the adgitiaor to complete the railroad ending?

Do I have to get uncomfortably close to the institute ending in order to do the railroad ending

[surreal merlin]

Can anyone help me out?
https://discord.com/channels/784542837596225567/1333579470971338904

[south furnace]

I hope someone can help me, I completed the railroad ending but now I’m stuck on top of the mass fusion building and fast travel is not available

[surreal merlin]

I'm pretty sure you can jump down into Good Neighbor.

[south furnace]

There’s an invisible wall it won’t let me

Desdomona is stuck in place not moving after I’ve talked to her

[surreal merlin]

When's your last save?

[weak coyote]

Just take the elevator down

[south furnace]

Elevator doesn’t work

[weak coyote]

Use the key card

[south furnace]

Key card doesn’t work

[weak coyote]

Bugged, start over...

[surreal merlin]

Hey.

If I did the Nuka World quests in offline, on xbox, and the achievement thing didn't pop, do I have to do those quests again?

[peak wing]

It should sync when you're next online.

[surreal merlin]

I am online right now, nothing's happened yet.

I don't actually know why it went offline either, gotta be something over at Microsoft's end.

[surreal merlin]

ugh...

I tried doing one again and it unlocked.

This game is just a buggy mess, I don't know why I bother.

I have to do the Grand Tour all over again.
It's so damn long..

[still marten]

Yea.

[surreal merlin]

I brute forced it.

[magic current]

ok so i want to do nukaworld so tell me will preston get mad if i complete the first commonwealth raid? like is that the starting point for him being mad

or is it just talking to shank

[still marten]

When you plant the first raider flag in the commonwealth his affinity drops immediately after that flag is planted.

[magic current]

so aslong as i turn on the raiders like planned before attacking a settlement prston wont get grumpy?

[frail pivot]

@hybrid mantle thanks for all the info 😁 and everybody else also who responded, I think I mainly just wanted to move to fast in the main story and maybe invest early game in the wrong perks ;p

[hybrid mantle]

no problem :)

[still marten]

I can’t help no more because I’m on the raiders side.

[lilac saffron]

Just posted some screenshots in screenshots and video of a vault 88 build i'm working on out of pure boredom. I used zero mods and zero console commands.

[austere lake]

I can’t start automatron dlc

[velvet delta]

What is happening when you try to start it? What platform are you on?

[austere lake]

I’m on ps5 the mission doesn’t even pop up

[velvet delta]

Okay, I see your post in support, I will follow up there.

[lilac saffron]

Just found out I can get all the trophies in fallout 4 by creating a save before molecular level and going back to after each ending saving like 30-40 hours

[weak coyote]

Must be a certain level.

[weak coyote]

Or play new saves with different characters to get some more replayability out of it.

I mean if your doing trophy hunting... Earn them.

[lilac saffron]

Why would I go through the extremely repetitive first 10 hours of the game 3 times the only challenge in that is staying awake

[weak coyote]

Why play it at all if it bores you...

[subtle owl]

you dont need to do Preston's quests for 10h my guy

if its too easy use survival mode

[peak shoal]

guys quick question...

im stuck at the Dima minigame where i have to recover his memories

the little bugs reach the yellow pillar but then they just stay there and dont go back

is anybody else having problem with the new version of Fallout 4?

[hybrid mantle]

the creation club contebt inc in the next gen version wont work and somehow downtown boston is laggy (xbox s with graphics on "performance")

[hazy mortar]

Hi all, I’m looking to get a new PC does anybody have any recommendations for a good PC to run fallout 4

[proven elm]

#tech-chat would probably be the best place to ask that.

[still marten]

Nah I risk it

I only carry a rifle and a hammer

[rain osprey]

g

[lilac saffron]

It’s a fun game but getting to molecular level 3 separate times would be extremely repetitive

[peak shoal]

Ok how can i do that? Load an old save or another way?

[weak coyote]

Do things differently each time, that's the point of doing a different build, different roleplay, different character. There are ways to make it less repetitive doing the same quests. Mix in other story and side quests to make the characters story unique. You don't have to go in a straight line through the main quests.

[lilac saffron]

Perhaps your correct

[hybrid mantle]

oh nononono were cooked

[still marten]

Today’s lesson how to be a raider:
rob anyone you see shoot the guy you just robbed and take whatever said person didn’t give to you off their dead body.
Murder anyone that doesn’t do what you tell them to and steal stuff off their dead body.
Get rid of competitors called other raider factions.
And take control of any place that you can.
Remember the more caps you’re making the better.

[lilac saffron]

Same applies for every fallout game. New Vegas is extremely boring before you get to the Vegas area.

FO4 if anything has the most interesting 1st act of the series imo

I'd argue the final act is where things get worse. Because the Institute at it's core is... unfinished to say the least so once their build up wears off, you realize how flawed their writing is

And the Institute is the main villian so you can't just ignore them either.
Take the BoS in NV for example, they are rushed and awkwardly written as well but they are a small faction so it doesn't affect much

The main plot with the synths however works well even if the Institute is flawed.
It's one of the best parts of the story. The dilemma of whether they'll ever be able to live as equals among society is really well presented.

[loud ore]

Greetings, do you know if there is a way to modify the enemy respawn time? I looked for mods and they are all outdated, is there a console command or something? to change the 80 days it takes to reset a site (cleaned)

[terse kite]

Hi! Can you help me?

Steam error application load error 3:0000065432

[velvet delta]

We have an article with troubleshooting for this here: https://help.bethesda.net/#en/answer/32406

[still marten]

Nope

But if I’m correct it’s faster the harder the difficultly is.

Which actually isn’t considered modifying.

One thing I don’t understand is why does the water effect still happen on the power armor visor when under a roof.

[loud ore]

thx

[molten pilot]

?

Then u ignored most of the sidequests to come to that conclusion

Because that game literally spoon feeds you all the side content in the first act than the two other games

[forest tree]

Bethesda 20 year old engine

[normal saddle]

I tried both ways, honestly I forgot which one worked but either load an older save or exit the memories entirely and renter

[still marten]

Why don’t they update it?

[random spire]

It was updated for Starfield, Creation Engine 2

[random spire]

Keep it civil please

[lilac saffron]

Nope. Even with side quests the entire first half of NV is just slowly running halfway across the map which is nearly empty.

The literal definition of boring

[lilac saffron]

Yes.
All of like 3 side quests from the Mojave Outpost to Novac which covers most of the lower part of the map.

Such high amount of content

[lilac saffron]

Railroad is such a goated faction idk why people hate it so much

[clear holly]

They get the better ending mission and the idea of the faction is cool but they're too preachy about their ideals and some of them are plain annoying most the time

[peak wing]

Apart from lore, the main benefit I got out of them was the ballistic combat attire as it was basically BIS outside of PA.

[magic current]

well just completed all i can in nukaworld i started shanks quest to attack and capture coastal cottage BUT never went there and instead got the 3 grendes off the raider gangs turned on them cut em down like dogs and now returning to the commonwealth with all the loot to see if preston is grumpy

[magic current]

he dosent even know haha awsome

[tropic cape]

I think the railroad cares more about synths than people.

I also think its bad that they are willing to risk actual lives because they believe synths are alive. IIRC them being in support of destroying the institute instead of a coup was my main GRR about it all. They're straight up blindfolding themselvesand destroying the science behind what makes a synth. Okei congrats you helped a sentient robot escape a life of servitude and im not being sarcastic about that either but synths have different needs than people and theres only so many resources available, especially in the wasteland. Funny enough this takes me back to wasteland 3 ||and the Machine commune you encounter||. Anyway im starting to digress, there should have been an alternate ending that makes Desdemona a part of the round table or a powerful enough faction to demand the institute regulate the generation of synths rather than just being a rebel for the sake of being a rebel.

[lilac saffron]

Synths are alive. That's not a belief, that's a fact

And they risk themselves. People who join them specifically join because they want to help save synths. It's the same as any kind of resistance with risks of death.

And synths are not robots either.
They are organic creatures. They have no more needs than anyone else.

[tropic cape]

I suppose yea, you're right about them being a resistance after all, everyone should already be aware of the risks they're taking. On another tangent, can tell me if synths even need food?

Afaik synths are androids that imitate persons like you and me not individual beings. The muscles they're made of are biosynthetic not biological. They don't sustain themselves with food and water like we have to but by replacing busted components that keep other components from failing. I.E. their heart valves can be replaced with any fitted junk to keep their "blood" flowing where as people need hearts with matching blood types and in one piece.

The closest I can agree to being alive is "Nick Valentine" who imitates the detective's memory he has. Except he is a synth so his capablities are different than the real Nick Valentine. He isn't "Nick Valentine" but is a synth made to imitate nick valentine. His capabilties are reduced or enhanced to be an imitation of Nick Valentine as close to 1:1 as possible.

[lilac saffron]

Nope. Synths are organic creatures just like us, super mutants or ghouls made with FEV

And they can sustain themselves with food and water.

Ofcourse there's external ways but so do we. There's plenty of ways to sustain ourselves in case of medical emergencies with external food pipes for nutrient supplies

[tropic cape]

right IVs

[lilac saffron]

And.

Nick doesn't immitate og Nick. He knows his memories aren't real.
He chose to learn from them and be his own person

[molten pilot]

personally not a big fan of factions who are “for the greater good”. The only faction i even would argue are total good guys are the Followers but they are so small they dont have an effect on the world

Which like again imo fallout works well when it relies on dark humor in order to cope with the state of the world. When it becomes too hopeful i lose interest

[tropic cape]

🤔 but a synth can still be programmed.

🚨 Far Harbor Spoiler Alert 🚨

|| Like if DiMA successfully replace the leader of Far Harbor and The Church of the Children of Adam these new imitation leaders would have the whereabouts of where the og leaders were but still be entirely disposed to make the decisions they're being given.

The facts being that DiMA could directly choose what they are going to decide and they wouldn't have any reason to disagree ||

[lilac saffron]

Synths can't be programmed. They can just be given new memories

Which can be just as easily revealed to them as is the case with Far Harbor or ||Danse||

That's the whole reason they have the recall codes.
It completely wipes their mind. They can't be programmed.

[pine grotto]

Sooooo I have a question:
In this playthrough, I’m trying to make my character as chaotically evil as possible, searching for Raider gear and will eventually join the Children of Atom at The Nucleus. I will also destroy the other three factions with the Minutemen then take over as many commonwealth settlements as I can with the Nuka World DLC Gangs.

Anyways, my question is:
Would anybody happen to know when Heavy Raider armor spawns as loot? I thought it would be found at the same level requirement as Sturdy/Heavy Combat Armor, but Sturdy Raider gear started dropping for me at level 12 so that was quickly out of the question lol

[lilac saffron]

You need to max out Armorer to have heavy armor drops

[pine grotto]

OOOOOOO okay haha
Thank you so much! This is harder to find than you may think with a simple Google search

[lilac saffron]

Wait. It may have been a mod. Let me check again

[pine grotto]

Oooo! Oki lol
And if Armorer 4 is a perk added by the Far Harbor DLC, do I only need Armorer 3 for heavy drops?

[lilac saffron]

Ok. Yeah it was.
So apparently heavy armor only starts spawning at level 48 on random enemies.

Before that you can check out the fixed areas like Quincy or Hub auto wreckers for heavy armor

[pine grotto]

Rippppp even Heavy Raider armor? q.q

[lilac saffron]

I don't think there are many fixed areas for heavy raider armor spawns but lemme check

[pine grotto]

I didn’t find a fixed location for it in Acquisition on the wiki sadly

There are exactly 0 provided by wiki. Only says “found on Raiders” lol

[lilac saffron]

Yeah so I'd recommend making a save and just farming raider locations on higher levels.
Harbormaster hotel is a good place

[pine grotto]

I appreciate it. Thank you

Just want my Buttressed Heavy Raider set already 😭

[lilac saffron]

Hey if you want you could just head over to nuka world and get their raider armor. There's plenty of variety there

Stat wise they are much better than the vanilla raider armor

[tropic cape]

Might be spoilers for new players idk:
|| The recall code itself is a huge red flag to why synths can't be human its a clear inidcator of their delicate sentience. They can be leveraged against with a recall code meaning organic or not they will be exposed with code which can potentially be hidden or removed. It doesn't change that it can exist and can also serve different purposes.

What then makes them alive if this is the case? They are now sustaining themselves the exact same way we are, that means we have to share resources with a new and dependent "lifeform". Which I now realize brings me back to the main point, they were made by humans to serve humans. The average synth is free to imitate living but it isn't actually living because it's sentience depends on people. Eventually they have to serve their purpose. Sentience is only to make it self-sufficient and less work for us. || I would rather my computer tell me something is wrong withitself than have to diagnose its components myself.

I taped it for buddy

[pine grotto]

I actually plan to beat the main story with Minutemen first before I piss off Preston Garvey too bad. I’m not sure if you can complete the game with the Minutemen under that hated status of his lol

[lilac saffron]

The recall code is akin to lobotomy which applies to us as well.
Any human being can be lobotomized regardless of who they are. All those memories gone.

And no one other than the Institute knows any of their recall codes. Once they're gone, the codes are gone too.

They only work for the Institute because they want to.

Those that don't try escaping and if caught the Institute simply feeds them new memories about them being loyal to the Institute.

They are by all means fully sentient organic creatures

And if you're referring to how their inner systems function.
They have REM cycles.
That's enough to know they are fully sentient

[tropic cape]

A lobotomy is not the same as a recall code because one proceedure is altering the default state of matter and the other is returning the state of matter to a default state. The REM cycles the lore mentions only states their brain waves in hibernation resembles the same as a persons which is the entire purpose of synths. For example, ||Curie's|| dialogue constantly compares her before and after state. An actual mechanical robot doesn't have the same needs a biosynthetic one does.

[lilac saffron]

It's not a default state. It just wipes their mind. Akin to a brain dead condition

Curie directly mentions doing everything a human does after getting her body

[tropic cape]

aka Post-traumatic amnesia I suppose.

but in code rather than with force

[lilac saffron]

They have no "default" state. It's a brain like any organic creature. If they form an opinion different from what they want they lobotomize it and add Institute memories

There is no code. It's an organic process.
Synths are fully organic creatures

And their REM cycles are not just imitations. They exist. The scientist who brings it up gets ignored and threatened

This is the full dialogue

"If it were just a limb twitching, perhaps, but her eyes were moving as well. Involuntary twitching and rapid eye movements while sleeping can only mean one thing"

[tropic cape]

Clones are not synths.

[lilac saffron]

They are not clones. They are made from scratch using FEV

They used Shaun's dna as a base and modified it to create new synths

[lilac saffron]

?

[tropic cape]

But then theres the argument that the only way to erase the recall code is if you kill everyone who knows about it. That doesn't change that the recall code is there.

Sorry, I sent a message with the forward and I have no idea where it went.

[lilac saffron]

That's not the only way. We don't know a way to remove it now but there's no guarantee we can't find a way in the future.

[tropic cape]

The recall code enables a function in the synth similar to post-traumautic amnesia

[lilac saffron]

No it doesn't.
It lobotomizes their brain. It's not amnesia

[tropic cape]

Yeah, but im trying to avoid hypothetical "in the future" because theres no guarantee of how long the future will take, it could be 1 year or it could be 1,000,000,000 years.

[lilac saffron]

So what? Not like the recall code poses any more danger than a gun to the head

[timber hatch]

Anyone here tried any good Enclave mods? Ive heard America rising is good but has anyone here actually tried it? Or any other mod that lets you join the enclave

[lilac saffron]

AR is good in gameplay. The story and writing is... a bit nonsensical

[timber hatch]

Any other mods you recommend then?

[lilac saffron]

Not any i can think of. Try searching on nexus's collections

[timber hatch]

Aight thx

[tropic cape]

A recall code has no affect on people that's why its significant to the point at hand whether synths have true sentience.

A lobotomy is physically altering a state of matter, people got worse after a lobotomy because it couldn't be reversed and the later consequences was they were indifferent to everything happening around them. A synth doesn't become indifferent, a synth always takes a side after they get hit with the recall code. At most worse they have to choose again and again whether to escape or serve. The institute is essentially changing those odds to always be serve and are only restricted by the requirements to trigger the recall code.

What then would be the case the day the institute is able to successfully broadcast the recall code over the radio?

[lilac saffron]

A recall code is no different to a bomb implant with voice recognition.
It does the same thing.

A synth also can't be reversed after a recall code is used

[timber hatch]

Bluetooth lobotomy

[lilac saffron]

Basically yeah

[tropic cape]

Jarvis lobotomize that guy using bluetooth waves

[timber hatch]

Hey Jarvis lobotomize that synth 4839383930 miles away from us

I wonder if they became able to use the codes over radio or something similar what the range would be

[lilac saffron]

It's voice recognition. They just need to hear it

[timber hatch]

True

But how long could the Institute theoreticly transmit like could they send to the capital wasteland?

[tropic cape]

its no different than GNR

[lilac saffron]

They can't transmit anything other than the classical station on account of their secrecy

Even when they make their big announcement they hijack DC radio to do it

[timber hatch]

What about their teleportation range? How far could they teleport someone

[lilac saffron]

Likely under the CW seeing as they need to manually go to Washington DC or Far Harbor

Although Far Harbor i suppose can be chocked up to gameplay because i don't remember them mentioning manually going there

[timber hatch]

Imagine if the Institute managed to increase their range

[lilac saffron]

They probably could in time.

[timber hatch]

Maybe all they need is to make like some sort of machine like the one you made to transport further?

Act like an antenna just like with radios

[lilac saffron]

The machine you make isn't a teleporter. It's a signal interceptor

[timber hatch]

My mistake

[lilac saffron]

It hijacks an already existing signal and sends you instead.

That signal on it's own needs to exist first before the machine can work

I assume they could probably try increasing the range of the signal but they'll likely need satellites for that

[timber hatch]

So if the enclave and the Institute partnered up do you think they would be unstoppable? The Enclave could most likely help with satellites right?

[lilac saffron]

Probably. Yeah

A nation wide teleporter network would be insane

[timber hatch]

We have already seen that the enclave has space travel because of the orbital strike in f3

[lilac saffron]

They did have space stations. Travel though? Unsure

[timber hatch]

Fair

The Enclave would probably like to partner with the Institute considering the super high technology they have and they are quite "clean"

[lilac saffron]

Yeah. Unfortunately Boston doesn't seem to have any Enclave bunkers for them to communicate with

[tropic cape]

no they would absolutely kill anyone who isn't pre-war. No exceptions.

[timber hatch]

Thats true sadly imagine in Fallout 4 the enclave existed and you could join them and ally with the Institute

[lilac saffron]

Nah. The enclave won't accept you. That's against rules

[timber hatch]

Wasent the Institute pre war tho? It was the people of the CiT but they went underground?

[lilac saffron]

Nope. Some of the base existed but the Institute as we see in 4 is entirely post war

[timber hatch]

Well you are born pre war and used to be a solider maybe u could join the Institute and then partner with the enclave as the Institute leader?

[lilac saffron]

That doesn't matter. The enclave kills anyone who isn't a part of them.

[timber hatch]

Ah ok so there scientists are recruited from the waste land and not born there?

[lilac saffron]

No. The scientists are mostly children of the CIT staff that survived the war

Some are external like Dr. Li or Shaun

[timber hatch]

Then that makes most of them clean no?

[tropic cape]

You dont join, you get surprise adopted.

[lilac saffron]

Well.
It's the Enclave. Their definition of clean is flimsy

[timber hatch]

Thats true

[lilac saffron]

Heck the virus they made to kill everyone. Even Enclave members weren't safe from it. They had to be innoculated

[timber hatch]

It would just be really cool to see the enclave and the Institute partner up like imagine a gigantic synth Army with advanced power armours teleporting bassicly anywhere

[lilac saffron]

I think the teleportation tech will definitely be featured again. Be it with the BoS or any other faction

[timber hatch]

Hopefully as it was really cool

[lilac saffron]

I forgor. No swearing on this server. Sorry.

[timber hatch]

Oopsie

[lilac saffron]

Anyway yeah the BoS built a airship out of the destroyed enclave base.
They can likely Salvage or remake the teleportation tech

[timber hatch]

I just hope we get to see the enclave again and be able to join them maybe we see like a chapter that became independent like in appalachia but these people have like become nicer and stuff?

[lilac saffron]

The Appalachia chapter isn't really enclave anymore.
Modus is doing their own thing

[timber hatch]

Yeah but i mean like seeing a chapter that has changed from the original that allows you to join them

[lilac saffron]

Yeah. That would be cool. Something like the remnants ig

[timber hatch]

Yeah but hopefully not as minor a faction

[lilac saffron]

I doubt they'll reuse the enclave as a big faction again. They've already been done twice (thrice if you count Modus)

If they return they'll likely be a small faction like NV or 76's BoS

[timber hatch]

Awh man

I hope we see them as a major faction again where you are able to join them

But oh well f5 isent getting released any time soon anyways so

[lilac saffron]

Yeah. The ES fans are going to get some food for the next 10 years ig.
Then it's our turn again

Atleast we have the show to look forward to

[timber hatch]

Thats true

[tropic cape]

'm just trying to put this into perspective. I can't agree to the fallasy that a person's default state contains a bomb implant only capable of triggering PTA. Moving past that is difficult because a person can be reversed if the recall code is used given proper treatment meaning that there is or was a default state they can return to where as a synth will become something new entirely once again.

A recall code is no different to a bomb implant with voice recognition. It does the same thing. A synth also can't be reversed after a recall code is used

[lilac saffron]

It's not a default state. The recall code is a modification.

They can't be reversed. It's why synths are so scared of mind wipes. It's death

There's plenty of dialogue inside the Institute of synths being scared of getting wiped if they dare as ask questions.
Once it's done they're gone, it can't be reversed. Same as lobotomy

It doesn't trigger PTA. Don't know where you're getting that from.

It just deletes everything in their brain.

[tropic cape]

So if a synth is never implanted with memories what are they?

[lilac saffron]

A normal organic being

Dima for example was never implanted with memories. He's just a normal guy

And that was before they switched to organic brains with gen3 synths which are even simpler

The synths that do follow the Institute do so by choice. Those that don't are forcefully wiped.

We even have examples of coursers being convinced they're wrong.

Also. One more thing. Synths working in the Institute aren't given any unique in depth memories either.
They're just told to serve the Institute.
If they resist, they're wiped and told to do it again

The only exception is Synth Shaun. He was a special project who was given memories of being Nate/Nora's son

[tropic cape]

Im trying to determine what exactly the recall code does.

A lobotomy does not wipe who a person was before, it makes certain connections take longer or stop connections entirely.

The closest thing a person can experience to being hit by the recall code in that case is Post Traumatic Amensia. Post Traumatic Amensia is the closest thing to getting wiped.

[lilac saffron]

A recall code is not the same as amnesia. They don't just forget who they are.
It's as if they were never there.

The closest comparison is being brain dead

Which can actually happen if the mind wipe isn't done properly. It'll kill the brain entirely.

It's also not just memories.

Their personality, experience, it's all gone

[tropic cape]

Brain dead can't be right because a synth can be told what to do.
A brain dead synth can still stand, walk, and talk.

A brain dead person is either unconcious or "not intelligent"

[lilac saffron]

They can't. A brain dead synth is dead. They are kept in medical care

The caretaker who offers curie her synth body does so because she can no longer keep the body alive. It was brain dead and had no cognition

Similar thing happens when a recall code is used. They become unconscious

That's why the whole mind wipe process is dangerous. One misstep and the brain's gone entirely

[tropic cape]

A mind wipe serves a different purpose from a recall code event then.

See || harkness and danse ||. Their minds aren't wiped. They have access to two sets of memories and can only keep one.

The brain wipe event of ||G5-19 Curie's synth body|| was easier on curie than with most because she had no need for her former memories.

[lilac saffron]

A recall code wipes their mind. That's it's purpose

Danse's mind was wiped. Considering he doesn't remember being a synth he's likely a railroad escapee who got new memories

The wipe of Curie's synth didn't work. It was botched and she became brain dead. No cognition

And they went with her because her cognition is already dead instead of killing a synth that's still alive for their body. It could've easily worked on any synth

You can even suggest it and Dr. Amari's like "no I'm not asking you to kill a synth"

[tropic cape]

A recall code is a verbal cue used by the Institute to reset synths by incapacitating them to bring them back under their control

Mama Murphy: --He says "Z2-47, initialize factory reset. Authorization code Zeta-5-3-Kilo"... Then he falls... And he's still..."

The recall code is used to safely knock synths unconscious.

[lilac saffron]

Sorry i got it mixed up with something else.
Yeah the recall code makes them unconscious and they then perform mind wipes after taking them back to the Institute

Yeah so the recall code just makes them unconscious. It's even simpler

Wait. No.

[tropic cape]

It doesn't change that a recall code exist and can also serve different purposes.

[tropic cape]

Alright

[lilac saffron]

I was right. That's exactly what a recall code does. It resets a synth's cognitive functions

[tropic cape]

All I'm saying is that i could also program a synth go right everytime i said cheesecake

[lilac saffron]

It can't. That's straight up untrue

A recall code simply resets a synth's cognition. It can't be used for anything else

It's directly stated a synth can't be ordered to do something unless they want to. It's why they go rogue

"To reset the synth's cognitive functions, speak the recall code out loud." - X688

That's all a recall code does

[lilac saffron]

You can't. A recall code can't make a synth work for the Institute again. They are once again mind wiped before they can start working again

Actually you know what.
Comparing the recall code to irl is goofy eitherway.

Neither amnesia nor lobotomy fully compare to it

It's a completely made up concept. Even a computer reset is not the same as it

Mind wipes can be compared to irl stuff but the recall code is just sci fi magic

[tropic cape]

Well yeah, sentient synths and all.

But i think we will just have to agree to disagree.

I was gonna work on determining what Cognitive Function means for a synth but its late and I have boring responsibilities i should really be doing.

There's plenty of other things you could watch, the most recent being "the peripheral". There was also that one other movie about the dude who lost his wife in am accident and spends the rest of his life trying to make an android version of her.

I'm not sure if was a good ending lol

[lilac saffron]

No synths are sentient. That's directly stated. They have cognitive functions.

The recall code is an external modification made by the Institute. We've seen similar things on other organic creatures as well like the deathclaw collars the enclave used.

It's something forced on them. It doesn't mean they are not sentient

[tropic cape]

Cognitive function just means they are capable of being aware of their surroundings

[lilac saffron]

Oh not just that. They are aware, can make their own decisions and can even dream.

As for memory transfer we know it can work on a human brain as well so it's not much different

There's also the entirety of Curie's story. The whole reason it works because she wanted an organic brain with the same level of cognitive precision and inspiration a human brain can. And that's what she got

Anyway. I'm tired. Gotta run. Bye

[lilac saffron]

I think the enclave is the good guys faction

[dull pivot]

I'm still not able to get on my mods 😭😂😂 gonna try uninstalling the game and reinstalling and see if that fixes it 🤦🏼‍♀️

[clear holly]

I saw the Mass Relay mentioned and it's potential range and just wanted to say that the Instutite does ||Teleport to Far Harbor for the Institute ending of Arcadia but two institute scientists are already there in the incursion area with a small transporter device|| so I'd guess that the institute can teleport anywhere where the radio waves for the mass relay can be picked up so they wouldn't need sattelites just radio towers would work

[still marten]

Wrong chat

Unless you’re talking about the small amount of enclave units in the commonwealth yet still that’s not a faction (not anymore)

[timid silo]

Yea there are few but not enough to be a faction in fallout 4

I feel like maybe BOS took their place

[timid silo]

Can you really say they can make their own decision if they're programmed how far can they make their own decision they obviously have limitations hence new generations of Synths being made

[lilac saffron]

We are talking of the new generation. Gen3 synths have no programming. They are organic creatures

They were never meant to not side with the Institute yet many do. It's their own decision

[clear holly]

Dima was an experimental synth based on the gen3 model I'm pretty sure

[lilac saffron]

Dima was an experimental synth yes but he was still mechanical. Gen3 is where they went organic

Although sentience isn't limited to organics either.
As we've seen with robots like Kleo or Yesman. They can develop sentience as well

[clear holly]

Synths are organic robots bordering on sentience like some regular mechanical bots in the series like Codsworth I think the argument is sort of stupid in a franchise like this I hate the synth plot

[lilac saffron]

Synths are not robots. They are organic creatures just like us

[clear holly]

When I use the term Organic Robot I'm referring to their creation methods and programming

[lilac saffron]

They have no programming

Gen3 synths have no programming. That's the whole reason mind wipes exist

They are made using FEV and modified human dna.
They are not robots

[clear holly]

I think Gen 3 synths (or whatever synth model is the flesh kind) are more on track to some semblance of humanity but I disagree with the notion they are human because of stuff like the recall codes and the method of their creation
