fallout-4-chat

[devout saddle]

I hope to god there isn't 30 settlements this time

There's no need for that many settlements, and they're not that important in the scheme of things in fo4

Survival they're just a pitstop to save and get supplies

[mild current]

F4's settlements were so forgettable for me. I genuinely struggle to think of their names. 😒

[devout saddle]

I wouldn't mind being allied to a settlement, but I don't need to be able to build it

Let em have some random settlements scattered around

[mild current]

Playing savior, builder and caretaker for the entire commonwealth was definitely not on my to-do list. 😅

[devout saddle]

And if you're a competitionist you gotta do it otherwise it'll dig at your nerves the entire game 🤣

I mean sanctuary, then truck stop then Abernathy farm, you don't need all three right there 😭

[mild current]

The fact almost all settlements are either empty or contain 2-3 people is pretty shocking. I want more Republic of Dave!

[devout saddle]

Ally republic of Dave to help in your attack on the institute

[mild current]

The Dave faction would be instant No.1.

"Hey, Dave, can you help me build a teleportation device so we can raid the Institute?"

Jokes aside, more locations like that would be nice. It's either a massive settlement, or a guy and his mom. 😒

[finite condor]

In FO4, i mostly just did cool stuff at sanctuary, the other settlements were mainly perfunctory, altho i did on a couple of saves go a little nuts with them lol. I do think it was a fantastic element to the game though. Which, given how fantastic most of the game was, is saying something haha. I mostly loved making animal cage arenas and slocums joe places lol

[mild current]

Yeah it's a shame so many of these settlements are so, I guess pointless. They designed Sanctuary to be ideal and helpful, which kind of made the others redundant. They give you a whole private community plot and all the workbenches right at the start of the game. 😔

[finite condor]

Yeah, this was my one fault with FO4, the start is a bit easy, and you get to play in PA too quickly. However, I resolved this for the most part by playing Survival mode whenever i play…and I dont use mods to remove the bits I dont like so much of it..lol.

[weak coyote]

Aside from how buggy it is... Making Automatrons is awesome, especially since if you only play survival, they are not only useful as heavily armed body guards, you can make one that can carry over 500 pounds of junk.

Vanilla I go with baseball uniform, because the highest level combat armor is white... And your a wacky wasteland character wearing all that.

[static marlin]

I'm on Xbox, but there is no possible fix for this?

[west trout]

I hope this is a Playstation only problem. I have the chrome pipboy. Been using for about a week. No problems so far. You got me worried now though. Do I dare check power armor paint? 😬

[west trout]

Yeah I'm not a fan of the white combat armor. I put enclave paint on it. So I'm in green boots and black combat armor. But out of curiosity, I will have to try baseball uniform and see which "ensemble" i like overall

[steady tundra]

I'm currently doing a gunslinger stealth VATS build. With ballistic weave I really don't need much more armor. I'm just using leather for the shadowed effect. I think it also looks cool with the minuteman outfit.

[undone perch]

That last one I've had, had the game crash to Home Screen via use of the Pip Boy. Going back to an earlier save though resolves the issue.

For your funky flickering textures and such, all I can suggest is the standard troubleshooting stuff, including starting a new save to make sure it's not save corruption.

[modern karma]

I unassigned a provisioner and I can't reassign them bcs of the bug where the game still thinks that the supply line is active. How do I fix?

[stoic oasis]

i would suggest saving but uhm have you tried to take that settler out back and uhm you know kill him or her maybe that resets the line who knows

[modern karma]

Mb

[stoic oasis]

so save first then see what happens if you shoot him or her

[modern karma]

Uhh I've tried reassigning them to something else in the settlement, and I've tried sending them to a different settlement so resetting it seems unlikely

It's a robot provisioner so I could just get it to self destruct but I have my doubts that it would work. Its the provisioner map that refuses to update

[stoic oasis]

yeah well maybe yeah just maybe the game has that line linked to that robot forever

until it dies so try to let it self destruct and see i guess

[modern karma]

Oh you raise a good point actually

I'm going to try power cycling my console first to see if it just needs to reload

[stoic oasis]

yeah possible too

[modern karma]

I fixed it with a mod and now I have the complete opposite problem. I managed to reassign the supply line but now it doesn't show up on the map

[stoic oasis]

did you try the self descruct stuff atleast?

for science!

[modern karma]

I did not 😞 maybe I will if this happens again, for science

[stoic oasis]

if you have a save from before trying this mod please just try then we atleast know if that method would work or not

[knotty granite]

Idk why that specific cc quest is so buggy for me you can put on the mysterious radio and it'll never complete the introduction to that quest

[elder iron]

Kk bet

What's the best way to get screws? And also those energy cell thingies.

My energy weapons seem to be doing wayyyy more damage then my more generic ones, is this normal? Both are pretty much just stock, is there like energy resistance for some creatures?

[mild current]

You can tag components you need, which highlights junk in the world that contains the highlighted component. 😁

Energy cells are like ammo, but I believe you can find them on robots and ammo boxes. And I don't know about the damage, maybe your character's perks are boosting them?

And yeah, different creaturs have different resistances. 😊

[mild current]

It's been 84 years... I don't think they're doing it. 😅

If they finally do, I hope they don't act like it was a huge favor. 😁

They must have no one assigned. Surely even a skeleton crew would have fixed even some issues by now.

If I made a video game, it would haunt me if it was even a little broken. I couldn't still sell a game knowing it's broken and just leave it like that. 😞

[magic current]

i wonder when we will get more CC for fallout 4

[weak coyote]

Doubtful, Oblivion still has 20 year old well documented bugs they didn't bother fixing.
There are still day one Fallout 4 bugs...

[silent gale]

Hello smooth skins, good to see you all again.

[pulsar rain]

Hey guys i wanted to know if there is any issues with changing playstation ID name in fallout 4, i need to know before i do it

[tribal valve]

No clue

I've been playing fallout 4, and have gotten ballistic weave. However there is a snag for me.

Kellog's outfit doesn't get better?!

[pulsar rain]

No it doesnt

[tribal valve]

Sad.

Looks so darn cool and actually usable

60 damage protection at most with it?

[pulsar rain]

I know, who can i ask abt the ID name change

Is it fallout support?

[tribal valve]

Looked it up

No it doesn't have any issues. Source? Sony

Check that things didn't get deleted tho

[pulsar rain]

I looked it up too it was inconsistent it gave me 2 different answers after i searched thats why im here

[tribal valve]

If you have issues you can switch back, but you may get charged

[tribal valve]

Fair enough.

[pulsar rain]

I just dont wanna loose my dlc's

[tribal valve]

That's fair

[pulsar rain]

And my saves

[tribal valve]

That's also fair

Man I wish Sony used memory cards still (this issue wouldn't exist with them)

[pulsar rain]

Hm

So im sure 76 doesnt have issues with it but F4 idk

[tribal valve]

Its one of those, make a proverbial gamble moments

[pulsar rain]

Hmmm, will they answer me in Fallout support?

[tribal valve]

It can take a day

[pulsar rain]

Ah that aint too much

[weak coyote]

You can change your Playstation ID name with no issues, accept for the reasons they specify whilst changing your account ID name... I've done it before with no issues, I still owned everything I bought off psn store.

[tribal valve]

Alright. I've beaten automatron, should I start getting resources to build that teleporter thingy for the brotherhood?

And is the Enclave Colonel Jacket worth using?

I think I understand why this game got GOTY finally

Its just so... Peak.

[mild current]

Do it whenever you like! Also, have you decided to side with the Brotherhood fully? 👀

[tribal valve]

Probably will

Doing all the radiant quests tho. The rewards are pretty cool

I've given mama Murphy some power armor I found

I think it's time I took my tesla power armor and flexed on the overboss

[weak coyote]

The radiant quests never end BTW.

[mild current]

Yaaay! Another (potential) victory for the Brotherhood! 😁

[tribal valve]

They don't? Good to know.

I got the ballistic weave so, I can tell the hippies to kick rocks

[weak coyote]

It's just there so you have faction quests to continue playing... Something to do.

[tribal valve]

Gotcha

I figure once I crush the wimps at the railroad, I can join the best and coolest faction ingame

The atom cats. They're just a bunch of dudes and dudettes who wanna pimp their power armor out.

[mild current]

I find the Atom Cats funny. Like, I actually laughed when I encountered them. I think one of the power armor guys is okay? Can't remember his name, but the lady sounds funny. 😅

[mild current]

The Railroad are... interesting. They're the only faction that supports the Synths so they're unique, and I like Tinker Tom, Des and PAM, but yeah I can't get behind them, myself.

The fact they despise the Institute, but love their creations are a juggle, I think. 😅

No Institute, no synths. No synths, no Railroad.

[tribal valve]

Exactly

Then I'm going to conquer the wasteland, to unconquer it so Preston stays chill

[mild current]

Do you mean giving settlements to the raiders?

[tribal valve]

Exactly

[mild current]

Any settlement you hand over to the raiders, it will kind of be theirs. I don't believe you can take it back peacefully. It also applies stress or terror on nearby settlements, so be careful with that.

I went on a commonwealth rampage and learned the hard way. 😅

[tribal valve]

It turns out I didn't have to use save scumming to talk the mechanist down, I could've used the silver shroud outfit apparently

[mild current]

There are a few instances outside of the quest that the Silver Shroud can be used. 😁

[mild current]

How do you know about Nuka World's endgame, anyway? Aren't you the person who's fairly new to Fallout 4?

[tribal valve]

No

That's probably the guy I stole the profile image from

Unmodded fallout 4, yes

But I've beaten it modded. 1st playthrough was with mods for me

This is my playthrough 2.

[mild current]

Yeah I think I've confused you with someone else I was talking to. My brain is such a let down sometimes. Sorry. 😑

[tribal valve]

No worries

I don't think I'll help the diamond city radio guy get confidence

I think he's funnier when he's a wimp

[mild current]

He's absolutely unbearable with confidence. 😞

He talks like someone who's so full of himself. That's not pleasant listening. 😅

I would've preferred if he just stopped being so skittish and paranoid. Just talk a little more deliberately but still be soft.

Instead the one single radio station that plays music gets ruined. 😒

[pulsar rain]

Thanks a lot

[pulsar rain]

Personally i love it

Wait where do you choose your faction in here?

Heheh found it

[tribal valve]

I'm enjoying the things Todd did

Like getting his face painted over Napoleon's

[broken hemlock]

anyone know any good mods that make nights dangerous ?

similar to 'I am Legends' type thing

[deep zinc]

Have you checked out the ghouls rehoul thingy

[tribal valve]

There's a mod channel or some such...

[deep zinc]

It's supposed to make harder and they track you down when it's nighttime

[tribal valve]

Neat

[magic current]

@broken hemlock check out feral nights

[broken hemlock]

thanks, ill check both of them

[cedar pulsar]

Hello! I joined this sever just to ask this. When I try and open mods from the home screen I get a message saying "This operation cannot be completed". I've been browsing for weeks trying every tip I can find but have not been able to fix this. Is there anything I can do?

[devout saddle]

Nuka world radio 😎

Enclave radio 😎

[potent vapor]

Hello Im loot locking the nakano residents legendary weapon/ effect and was wondering what some of the best possible combinations would be to get?

Like never ending double barrel, or what is really good in those instances

[stoic oasis]

a mod thats in your load order got removed from bethnet and hence caused that Operation Cant Be Completed

you either have to find out which one, or clear your reserve space if ur on Xbox which removes all ur mods

[weak coyote]

I don't think that's true, all my mods are on bethnet and it still occurs...

The operation cannot be completed has been an issue since the next gen update, because of the next gen update.
Also the mods in your library and favorites don't display correctly.
Cleary an issue with the next Gen update.
Bethesda needs to patch/update something.

[weak coyote]

You just have to keep trying and hope the mod menu stays open long enough to install them.

[mild current]

Yeah I like Raider Radio but I feel it's more a social radio than a music station, the story time is funny. 😁 I like the classical radio too, but the fact it becomes static absolutely sucks. 😑

[mild current]

Thought I was replying but didn't. Just doing this to clarify what I'm responding to. 😅

[potent vapor]

I got a two shot pipe pistol and put on a mirv attachment. Dont think it gets better than THAT

[devout saddle]

I forgot classical 💀

[steady tundra]

If on PC, there is a mod that keeps the Institute classical station going regardless of what happens to them.

[tribal valve]

Alrighty

I'm gonna help the minutemen for their radio station. Maybe do the dudes quest so he isn't a wimp

I found I can put ceilings into the sanctuary houses

Now my homies won't have to sleep in the rain.

I also made my home the only home with power because I'm cool

[weak coyote]

Thing is... It rains indoors... No matter if you build a structure with a roof.

[tribal valve]

IK

Its just a detail thing, yk?

[potent vapor]

How many jangles monkeys are in fo4

And how can I get alot more

[stoic oasis]

if this dude cant ENTER his mod menu then its due to one of the mods he has in his LO being removed from bethnet, if ur getting operation cant be completed when ur IN the mod menu whne clicking on a mod that means this mod has corrupted pics(and yes both were not a issue pre update)

[stoic oasis]

lol thats ur advice xd

[mild current]

I assume there's theoretically an indefinite number. Some loot in the world respawns after a period of time because having a limited number of resources in the game could cause softlocks. 😁

[potent vapor]

Yeah but I think all jangles are static not in containers. I’ve never seen a cell repopulate with one

[mild current]

Oh? Okay if that's true then nevermind. 😅 I feel like there's loads of them so I didn't think they would be limited.

[serene arch]

I liked the Captain Cosmos creation, there are some Jangles at the TV studio. Human Cosmos star was concerned that live Jangles had a bigger dressing room than him

[stable sail]

So I'm working on nuka world for my last trophies left, any pro tips for All Sugared Up?

[mild current]

What are the requirements? 😅

[stable sail]

I have to kill 40 nuka world creatures while under the effect of a nuka cola mix

[mild current]

Oh! I hoard any Nuka Cola i come across anyway, so making the mixes aren't that bad for me. Is it getting all the Nuka Cola that's bugging you?

[stable sail]

I was trying to rush it and be done with it, but yeah I don't have enough Nukas, it might be a good idea to wait and collect some drinks, I know at least one merchant that sells some of those, and there's some dark nukas in the nuka cade

[mild current]

I think the areas that contain Mirelurks respawn, right? Like the Nuka Plant? Killing all those babies could be an efficient way to get kills?

Also, I can understand that collecting Nuka Cola from nothing to make those drinks can be tedious. 😑

I'm not really familiar with spawns that contain loads of Nuka Cola. Maybe there's a guide online that has a list?

[stable sail]

Mirelurks won't count as they're not considered nuka world creatures, they have to be exclusive to the DLC

There's some guides yes

I've been searching and it seems many had problems with this achievement

[mild current]

Oh gosh yeah you're right... Ugh, what a stupid idea. 😔

That achievement doesn't even seem difficult, just really tedious. 😒

[stable sail]

I've found one comment that said "being under the effect" means the nuka has to actually heal you, so you need to take damage while it's healing you

[mild current]

I think there are mixes that offer buffs though, right? Surely those would work, given it's a Nuka Mix and you're still technically under its effect?

Yugioh has made me pay attention to the wording of things like that, haha. 😅 If it's while under the effect of a mix, if the mix shows up in the effects tab of the pipboy, that should count.

It would be very silly if it's referring to healing. 😑

[clever stag]

If the nukes drop, there will be nuclear FALLOUT, TOO!

[wintry oak]

Bruh

[clever stag]

I wonder what would be FALLOUT TACTICS against harsh world of radiation and nuclear winter

[wintry oak]

Bro the puns... They're slowly killing me inside...

[clever stag]

I mean what's the FALLOUT FOR dude, we gotta think of the future before it's too late

[wintry oak]

Naaaaah

[steady tundra]

Other than the main factions quest cutoff points (making the other factions hostile), anyone know of a list of conflicting minor/misc. quests that conflict with other quests?

[weak coyote]

You get operation cannot be completed when you have no mods installed and click on nothing... The mod menu just kicks you to the error screen message.

[weak coyote]

That's the only thing that worked for me, managed to install 99 mods after 3 hours of being repeatedly kicked to operation cannot be completed.

[weak coyote]

Yeah, I just use a sanctuary rebuilt mod, shows that the settlers made some progress in a lore friendly way.

[mild current]

You can get permanently stuck out of entering Mods, though. I couldn't get into it at all for months. The only way I could was to delete all my mods. 😔

Stove's right about specific mods, too. It's the loading of images that force you back to the main menu.

That gen update caused so much damage to people's mods. 😑

[weak coyote]

Just make the ones that are dirty water and regular nuka cola, go around to all the random event locations... The best one is right outside the galactic zone where it's two shacks where a nuka gang spawns fighting different things, that event zone seems to respawn quickly.

[weak coyote]

After next gen update, installed ps5 version so no mods were installed, trying to open the mod menu instantly kicked me to operation cannot be completed, repeatedly, without ever clicking on a mod.

[mild current]

If you didn't click on any mods, then that sounds like a Bethesda server issue. There have been instances of Mods being temporarily inaccessible.

The original commenter's issue seemed to be related to mods. If Mods is up and running just fine, but they can't get in at all, it's most likely a mod they have installed.

They said it's been an issue for weeks, so I find it hard to believe it's just a temporary issue. It's most likely a mod they previously had installed that needs to be removed, like what happened to me. I know Mods has been down in the past, but it's been weeks for them.

[stable sail]

Are the PS mods not tested on next gen?

[broken hemlock]

I finally found a good set of mods.

• The Running Dead - Customisable Zombie Apocalypse Mod
• FGEP - Feral Ghouls Expansion Pack - The Definitive Edition
• Terrifyer - Ghouls
• More Feral Ghouls. A Zombie Mod
• FeralGhoulOUTBREAK

[stable sail]

Thanks the for the Nuka mix thing. I was about to leave Nuka World to respawn the enemies, but the game gave me the trophy, it only took one expedition around the map

[elder iron]

Jangles the moon monkey is so epic I just found it

whoa deja vu

[tribal valve]

Ever since that maxson guy told me not to use fat man mininukes indoors, I've been exclusively using high explosives in confined quarters.

Do these guys even realize I threw landmines onto their feet and stepped back?

[barren marsh]

Another settlement needs your help, here i’ll mark it on your map

[tribal valve]

I've got all my settlements happy

Except the mechanist's lair. And that's because I sent sheffield and the drinkin' buddy there

[elder iron]

Okay guys

I found my second set of power armor, was a brotherhood guy who got absolutely annihilated by a suicider at the satellite array thingy

But I don't have any fusion cores so like it's painfully slow to use them

So....

Where can I find fusion cores really easily? Someone said basements, but that was a tad vague for me.

[untold moth]

Make Enclave Great Again 😭

[ancient gulch]

Is there a mod that adds functionality to the combat zone? I wanna have actual melee fights for caps that I can do

[lilac saffron]

There is. It was originally supposed to be in the game but was likely cut because they couldn't figure out how to make it function well.
Cait's original intro was also vastly different

A mod restores all that.
But there is a big disclaimer to make saves before using it as it may break.

[finite condor]

haha ive always loved dropping things like mines at enemies from above....so much fun.

[tribal valve]

Hmm.

I've been running around using this ballistic weave stuff. Huh. It's really game changing

Is the Mechanist's outfit just that good?

[sour grove]

i cant launch the game after buying it

[stable sail]

The middle part of my map (from Diamond to Goodneighbor) is unreadable at this point

[open horizon]

Is anyone else having problems with logging into mods? I want to turn them off for a nostalgic mod free run. But I only get this option cannot be completed

[tribal valve]

Why is human curie so cute?!

[abstract pine]

the Institute is the best ending and I'm tired of pretending it isn't.

[tribal valve]

That's fair. I don't like the institute because they don't tell me their long-term goals. Making me realize, either A, they have no longterm goals and keep telling me "I can't tell you now," or B, their goals would be so morally dubious that it would result in conflict almost immediately.
At least the brotherhood, minutemen and toaster right activists tell me what they wanna do

Anyways. I've given Curie legs

Muahahahahaha

But I do agree. The institute ending is pretty cool using liberty prime to blow up the brotherhood

[abstract pine]

1. Advancing science is a long term goal 2. never really liked the brotherhood genocidal, religious tech hoarding tendencies (but players of this game only see power armor, uniform and giant robots) 3. Yes, their experiments have harmed the commonwealth but allying with the Minutemen give them a moral compass (they're the only factions you can actually lead).

[tribal valve]

Fair enough.

[abstract pine]

I do agree, I love using their ancient broken robot they can't even repair on their own on their own Blimp. Blowing up the brotherhood of nazis is satisfying

The Railroad had potential

[tribal valve]

I like the brotherhood because I've played the old games

Railroad has potential, but gets held back I'd say

I think the brotherhood blimp is both the silliest thing, and darkest if you consider the lore implications. Part mobile base crawler, part rivet city

[abstract pine]

also why can I not romance X6-88 but I can Danse; ||(They're both synths)||

[tribal valve]

I'd say Maxson's brotherhood is brash, and destroys what it doesn't understand before gaining understanding

[tribal valve]

Well, ones made for killing. The other is programmed to be some dude

Yes I get Dense isn't some dude, he's like the Buzz lightyear to my Woody

But I'll call him that forever

[abstract pine]

I romance Preston instead, he such Chad trying to help everyone

[green mango]

||And if you've watched the TV show they've become more like the Enclave.||

[abstract pine]

Why can't we put Nick's memories in a body but we can Curie.

[tribal valve]

Why can't we put Kellog into a new body?

I think that'd be funny.

[abstract pine]

I don't know about what's cannon in the show anymore. if Barb said Vault Tec should nuke everything why would she let her daughter go to a birthday party on that day they dropped it?

[tribal valve]

Vault tec didn't drop the bombs. Simple

Idk

Anyways. I've put a mister handy and a sentry bot together and made a walking eye

Venture bros reference.

[abstract pine]

The Braberton head in Nuka world could use a body too

Why can't we give bodies to everybody who needs them

The railroad could use the business

[green mango]

From personal experience not all parents are loving and care about their children.....even if they say they do.

[abstract pine]

True. But I think she would still want to save Howard and her daughter being a cold Vault-tec executive.

Although I'm guessing they divorced and took the money

[green mango]

Not unless she really wanted to be rid of them.

[abstract pine]

I think Barb might be in the "super managers" vault

[tribal valve]

Who knows...

Anyways. Beyond Todd's being Napoleon in fallout lore now

[green mango]

Never know I wouldn't put it past them as World Domination is the ultimate form of power and greed.

[tribal valve]

Certain things make me think, that the bombs weren't fully planned for at the point they dropped, if anything it just sped things along.

Like all the vaults that were either half finished, or straight up never actually lived in

[abstract pine]

They assumed everybody would die and "they" would be the only faction

[tribal valve]

Anyways, I've helped the minutemen, and this Preston dude seems pretty chill.

[abstract pine]

they completed several vaults and could only save a fraction

[tribal valve]

I'm glad Braun didn't make an appearance in the show.

[green mango]

Well TBF if Vault Tec did drop the bombs it was a limited number as most of the damage was from Chinese missiles. IIRC

[abstract pine]

like Vault 76 is supposed to prepare dwellers to repopulate Appalachia yet when you find the Overseer she wants you to use the Nukes to end the Scorchbeasts menace

[tribal valve]

Yes

[abstract pine]

which's very Vaultechy

[tribal valve]

It was a control vault afterall

One of several

You can't have an experiment without an "average," to run it against. So there's like 10 or so controls

[green mango]

TBF the scorch beasts are an existential threat that needs to be eradicated.

[tribal valve]

Anyone know if modifying curie screws up her companion quest?

[abstract pine]

I think you lose the mods since her robot self just dies

[tribal valve]

No loss for me then

Backpack mods and legs

Heh heh heh

[abstract pine]

if you have Automatron Ada can be built into an invincible warmachine carrying mule

[green mango]

Not sure if it messes up the quest but she does have quite a few bugs. https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Curie#Bugs

[abstract pine]

she cleared Quincy from the Gunners almost on her own

[tribal valve]

I'm aware

[abstract pine]

I put Curie to be the doctor of Sunshine Tides Co op after I maximize approval

[tribal valve]

I've got Ada kitted out for war. Along with a few other abominations to defend my settlements

What about Goodfeels? Isn't he a professor?

[abstract pine]

he disappears after you first meet it

he's too stoned anyways

[green mango]

I've got 12 tamed Deathclaws for mine.

[tribal valve]

I like him

[abstract pine]

he and Curie could be friends

[tribal valve]

I can't modify him? Sadge.

[abstract pine]

Why, are you farming Deathclaw steak

The chameleon deathclaw looks nice

[tribal valve]

I like to equip my sla- Settlers for not dying without me

[green mango]

Nah their for defense.

They make really good guards

[abstract pine]

My settlers all wear pre war clothing and a better gun.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_3Tth1MCtw&ab_channel=MaaxMarc

[tribal valve]

Why does codsworth dislike what I've done?

I've not done anything too morally dubious. And he only "tolerates," me

Maybe he didn't like the bowler that much

[abstract pine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlKcfcZODx4&ab_channel=MaaxMarc

That's where Curie is 1:19

[abstract pine]

If you mod him he won't be able to wear the hat

[green mango]

I have mine decked out with the CC Graphical T-Shirts maxed ballistic weave and fully upgraded lazer and plasma weapons.

[tribal valve]

Good to know

[abstract pine]

I like those t-shirts and the modular backpack

[tribal valve]

Oh it's the sarcastic dialogs

[green mango]

Yeah got the backpack as well also have Morgan's Spacesuit makes for a flashier hazmat suit and a decent alternative to power armor once it's maxed out with ballistic weave.

[abstract pine]

exaclty, not a huge fan of power armor but I do like to display them.

[green mango]

The spacesuit is perfect if your trying to be stealthy especially indoors.

[tribal valve]

Neato

Huh, by telling mama Murphy "no drugs," curie now wants to become human

I made curie human, and now that chick from the railroad is unhappy. Be a real shame if I was going to betray them later.

[green mango]

https://tenor.com/view/doja-cat-star-wars-gif-25078126

[abstract pine]

We should be able to sleep with Sturges

||He's also a synth||

[tribal valve]

Hundred perfect agree there

I gave him a clean suit and now he's the classiest minuteman ever

[abstract pine]

No, I give him the Atom Cats jacket he rocks it

[green mango]

So should Strong I mean who doesn't want some super mutant love

[tribal valve]

I think because glory said some mean things to me, along with Maxson being rude to nick, I'll side with the minutemen

[abstract pine]

I don't think they have genitals

[tribal valve]

Yes and no. Play fallout 1 and 2 and you'll see what I mean

[abstract pine]

too much muscle does that I guess

[green mango]

The ones on the West Coast IIRC don't but the ones on the East Coast do as there are males and females.

[tribal valve]

I'm working on perfecting my settlements so these Settlers can start trading with one another and stop needing me to bring them crops to plant.

[abstract pine]

||Yes, there's also Virgil who can turn back into a human. I'd love him to be a companion instead of Strong tbh.||

[tribal valve]

I helped Virgil in my current playthrough

Poor fellow. At least Tony the Tiger (Kellog,) won't hunt him anymore

[abstract pine]

There's also Ericksson in FarHarbor would make a good supermutant follower

wouldn't not approve whatever you're doing every 2 seconds and ask for milk.

[green mango]

Actually I just remembered Lily a female super mutant in New Vegas so they probably do have genitals on the West Coast

[abstract pine]

I tried to get into fnv so many times...

[abstract pine]

but I heard of her

[green mango]

But I believe for the most part on the West Coast super mutants are sterile.

East Coast super mutants who knows

[abstract pine]

well the ones on fallout 4 and 76 only have hounds and wear loincloth

[green mango]

Yeah but there are female super mutants in Appalachia super mutant females look just like the males.

[abstract pine]

how very gender affirming I love it

[green mango]

Some super mutants do care about humans Gail in Appalachia for instance adopted and raised a human girl.

[abstract pine]

There are friendly ones

[green mango]

Yup and just like with anyone it depnds on who they are around or influenced by if they are friendly or not.

[tribal valve]

Milk of hooman kindness

Man Strong seems so nice.

And Codsworth isn't mad at me anymore, so that's a W

[green mango]

Strong tries to play it tough and acts like he only tolerates humans but deep down he's a good person with a good heart.

[abstract pine]

no he isn't

he's always says he's hungry he wants "someone" to eat. He only sticks with us because of milk of human which he believes will make him stronger

and with enough disapproval he will complain saying why you talk talk and talk instead of being out there killing and killing...

[green mango]

Those are just excuses he gives to justify his denial.

[abstract pine]

nah he's just a pain in the butt sry Bethesda

[green mango]

He's still better than Preston.

[jolly wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/fallout4-gif-5924860

[abstract pine]

Preston is the best chadest follower, he wants to help everybody people only get upset at him because of his infinite settlements quests

[green mango]

https://tenor.com/view/enclave-fallout-2-gif-670157946705915571

[abstract pine]

https://tenor.com/view/fallout-show-the-ghoul-cooper-howard-gif-5087114750724411512

[green mango]

I actually wouldn't mind Preston but after hearing "I have another settlement that needs your help" 100times in one playthrough you just wanna shoot the guy.

[abstract pine]

which seems to be a bug so don't blame it on the character

if they made him say that infinite times

[tribal valve]

Neato. Conquered the castle

Now to fill in the walls and give Preston some new clothes...

Minutemen colonel? Not on my watch

[green mango]

Actually it isn't I know a modder who looked into that and it's intentional he also made a mod to help alleviate it to a point.

[abstract pine]

if you get all settlements and the castle he eventually stops doing it. no mod needed.

I sent him to the Castle HQ and now he calls me "babe"

[green mango]

But until then almost every time you run into him, he drops a quest on you and I swear one time he followed me all the way to Croup Manor from Sanctuary just to drop a quest on me.

He's a stalker.

[abstract pine]

He's a hero, he's bae

[tribal valve]

Alrighty, I've helped the slog out and stuck an assaultron as the main guard giving them the bare amount of defense needed

[green mango]

Some hero he couldn't take the pressure of leadership like real heros do.

[tribal valve]

That's why he gave me some power armor. They need some buff armored dudes to help them out

[abstract pine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqGI8cFuoo8&ab_channel=MaaxMarc
I gave the ghouls of the slog some amenities

[tribal valve]

Nice

[abstract pine]

they seem to be glitched though

[tribal valve]

That's my plan too, fixing them fences and making the front be covered in guard posts

[abstract pine]

they'll fall into the pool to work the tarberry

[tribal valve]

I should totally conquer nuka world

[tribal valve]

What's your red rocket look like?

[abstract pine]

Very Gay

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt14Mo4MARQ&ab_channel=MaaxMarc
It's Pride Month

[green mango]

When it comes to Nuka World Raiders I just can't help myself I have to destroy them.

[tribal valve]

Very nice

Didn't realize Preston was... So buff

Self note: put a female ally in that outfit

Science.

[abstract pine]

Suit yourself but Red Rocket is where all the boys hang around

I wish I could get Cito to move there

[tribal valve]

I stick all my homies there

Cito is awesome

[abstract pine]

but he won't leave his gorillas behind

[tribal valve]

He's got his priorities straight

"Family." as a certain bald dude says

[abstract pine]

I may have used a console command or two to enhance that...

[tribal valve]

I'm on console edition. Brutal...

[abstract pine]

but he's at the gym as you can see, they all are

[tribal valve]

Yes

Its a very nice red rocket. Mines more of a raider hangout crossed with functional base

Those boxcars fit nicely on the top

[abstract pine]

I used utility red vault structures for obvious reasons, if pathfinding was better I would put them on top to

[tribal valve]

That's the one thing I've encountered yea

Poor pathfinding means they can't actually go upstairs

I might leave some Settlers another set of partial X-01

[green mango]

You can get them to path up to the roof but it's tricky and I totally forgot how to do it maybe someday I'll try doing that again been years since I last did it.

[tribal valve]

Eh I don't need them on my roof

[tribal valve]

Curie is the best companion besides dogmeat and old man longfellow

Oh and Ada

And Nick... Gah. Wish this was like fallout 2 where I could have a ton of homies help me

[mild current]

How do you feel about her "human" body? I personally very much prefer Curie has a robot. 😅

I just imagine Cods in a body... no thank you. 😑

[tribal valve]

Is there a lore reason why she's so cute?

That sums the feelings.

[mild current]

She has a french accent. 🥰

[tribal valve]

Lowkey wanna wrap her in a sheet of kevlar and keep her safe. Probably will have her run around with me and conquer nuka world from these raider dudes

[mild current]

I thought that comment was going weird places at first. 😅 That makes me wonder if she has any opinions on Nuka World. I can't recall if any companions have lines about it?

Preston would cry, obviously. 😑

[tribal valve]

Valentine, Codsworth and I think Danse dislike me joining the raiders

[mild current]

Innocent Cods is definitely reasonable, he doesn't even like you lockpicking. 😑 You're making me want to play Nuka World with companions I don't normally use. 😅

[tribal valve]

Try it with old man longfellow

I hear he won't say much, but he's fun nonetheless

[mild current]

I think he's a man of few words anyway, right? I've never had him as a companion but he doesn't seem the type. 😅

[peak mango]

I called all my settlers at Sanctuary to come over to the bell and they kept asking me "what's going on?"
And I couldn't resist, I said we're passing out brains!" 🤣🤣🤣 As I gave each of them a weapon, ammo and medical treatment for the disease offing my people that come over here.

[wintry oak]

Lmao

[tribal valve]

Ah man. I'd thought I'd come up with a decent method of making Curie OP

Giving her some crappy PA. I guess she requires something sturdier

But. It seems she does use the shishkebab

[elder iron]

Is it bad if I don't like messing around with settlements

I'd rather just like

Shoot things

[tribal valve]

That's entirely fair

Play the game how you want. It's got something for most folks

Here's some fun things to do. Use all your fatmen the moment you get them. Ditch your power armor if the battery runs out. Oh and use whatever gear you want regardless of stats

This is called Funmaxxing

[elder iron]

lol yeah power armor is just a drag for me

Like how are you supposed to get so many cores??

Yup I just play however I want mostly, I like exploring mostly

[tribal valve]

Passively farm them

You'll have a ton by level 30 if you only use PA for things like the glowing sea or badass enemies

Use the good stuff.

[elder iron]

Alright, thank you!

Should I get armor mods as well as weapon mods? I generally never touch my armor, only my guns

[tribal valve]

If you want, armor mods can make certain armors better

[weak coyote]

There are tons, many playthroughs I never use power armor, after 100+ hours I have hundreds of cores, plus the perks make them last...vanilla anyways, with my survival mods, everything is rare and a struggle.

[weak coyote]

Yes, enhance your build and playstyle.

[tribal valve]

I saved Danse with a single speech check?

Neato. I respect Maxson for being so reasonable

[elder iron]

At what station do I craft explosives?

[serene arch]

Bedford Station

[serene arch]

pretty sure it's the chemistry station

[elder iron]

Thanks

OMFG I just fought my first mirelurk hunter, there were 2

Gawdamn

[tribal valve]

Wait till you fight the queen...

[elder iron]

Nahhh I accidentally hit navigator while defending the ship, he started attacking me so I killed him. Ironsides mowed me down lol

[tribal valve]

I keep introducing my enemies to the humble fatman

[elder iron]

I used mine for the first time. There was an alpha deathclaw on the roof of a building, I nuked him and then placed all of my mines. A bit overkill maybe, but it worked

[serene arch]

put a mininuke on top of a mine 😺

[elder iron]

Oml suicides scare the %¢@^€° outta me, I see them and I'm just forced to ammo dump

[late stirrup]

I'm just waiting for November 👀

[barren marsh]

Lvl 25 and all the PA are all t45s

[weak coyote]

Just shoot the right hand.

[serene arch]

shoot em in the head if you want to loot the mininuke

[barren marsh]

help me someone

Pluh, all the PAs i find are t51 visually but when i enter them they become t45s

NBEC

[west trout]

When it comes to weapon mods, be sure you understand load orders. Weapon mods can get janky if you don't know what you are doing. Some armor mods can conflict but they are usually straightforward and easy.

[elder iron]

Yup gotta get more nukes to feed the fatman

[mild current]

The Fatman is always hungry. 😁

[elder iron]

Ughhhh I have so many cool weapons that I wanna use but I can't carry all of them 😭

I'm carrying fat man, a napalmer, broadsider, a missile launcher, multiple rifles, one sidearm

I'm just gonna wander back to diamond city and sell some of it

[compact brook]

I’m staging the Battle for the Castle 2 for fallout dnd tonight. Which skill would you use to aim and fire an artillery mortar? PER or INT?

Maybe STR to move and rotate it and PER to aim?

[tribal valve]

Oh I'm just talking like ingame modifications not pieces of content downloaded lol

Thx tho.

[tribal valve]

Str and Per. Or if you have more than one person, use a mix of S.P.E.C.I.A.L

[stable sail]

I mistakenly grabbed a respawned star core, will it mess up my quests?

[weak coyote]

It will be stuck in your inventory forever if you pick up all the rest and use them, extras are quest items so they can't be dropped or stored.

[nimble blaze]

I recently got all sugared up and beverageer. I thought it would be fun to get the two rarest achievements.

[stable sail]

But my question is if it messes up the related quests by miscounting or something

[tribal valve]

It doesn't affect the quest.

Apparently Codsworth can say several thousand names. And the one I chose? Snake.

Snake the Rake! Instead of Nate.

[weak coyote]

No, doesn't matter how you got them or how many, just that you have enough required for the quest to update it's stage.

[silent gale]

Do you all listen to music when you play games and if so what do you listen to?

[proven elm]

I never listen to outside music when I play video games. I either listen to the music provided by the game or I turn the music off.

[vague basin]

Most games have good soundtracks.

[patent dirge]

Hello Y'all 👋 Recently got back into Fallout 4 after a bit

Sometimes I put on "Streets of whiterun" or some random lofi

[west trout]

Oldies radio mods for fallout 4 all the way 🥰🥰

[nimble blaze]

My Spotify Playlist with some of the most random songs on the site

[weak coyote]

If it's a game where you don't need to hear, like a souls game, I got the headphones on with everything from tool to dido to esham and everything in between playing, got like 5k songs on a device...

Most games I turn the music off, it's more immersive for me, but games like mass effect, TLoU1 or any heavily story driven game I leave the music on.

Fallout bgm off, accept for the radio audio is on.
Elder scrolls, music on.

[tribal valve]

Up the irons

Classic rock, some metal. Jazz. Rock, and some blues

[sacred nebula]

How do i get fallout 4 on pc to run better?

It runs extremely horrible

I have better specs the recommended ones on steam?

[tribal valve]

Run it at lower settings.

EZ.

[sacred nebula]

Has it always been this horrible to run????

[tribal valve]

Yes and no

[sacred nebula]

what even caused it to be this bad

[tribal valve]

Its a Bethesda game. You learn to accept it.

[tribal valve]

Probably downtown Boston

Or the graphics are too high

[tribal valve]

Oh man the RNG has some humor

I go the entire game without finding a single sunset sarsparilla shirt right? I get to nuka world and find one in one of them locked briefcases.

Love me the creation club.

[mild current]

Probably the last place you should find one. 😅

[tribal valve]

Anyways, I stuck ballistic weave on it, and gave Curie some decent armor

Now she "contributes," in combat. Lowkey might take Ada to nuka world as she'd judge me less

And actually not keel over in combat

Is Codsworth any good in a fight?

These Nuka bots are kicking my butt, so I'm gonna cheese them with a better ally

[mild current]

I never used Cods because he hates lockpicking, but he's a Handy, so not really. He's a melee fighter because he just has that saw, right? Probably mount a laser or something on him. 😅

[south pendant]

I dont know if anyone can help me with this problem. I play fallout 4 on xbox. I used to play it before, no problems, then had a long break, now when i started playing it again, it keeps telling me that the save memory gets full and i have to keep deleting saves several times each time i play. Like after 5 saves its full. The xbox itself has a lot of space still. Does fallout have its own internal memoy space? Has that gotten smaller? Is there anything i can do to fix this?

[silent gale]

I have no idea, I had this same issue at first. I literally had to delete stuff and later reinstalled no issue. It was crazy work…

[south pendant]

you had to reinstall the game?

[silent gale]

I had to delete other games and save data of FO4 to make space, but after i redownloaded all my other games and it wasn’t an issue. It really makes no sense.

[west trout]

Hard close the game and hold the xbox power button for 10 long seconds. Try to keep your fo4 saves limited to under 10 saves. Even if your xbox has plenty of space, the number of saves seem to cramp up and result in reduced performance. Even with no mods and limited saves, over time, I'll notice fps start to get reduced. Clearing the system cache fixes problems for me. (Hold power 10 seconds)

[steady tundra]

I always listen to in-game music, especially with games like Fallout 4, Skyrim, Oblivion Remastered, etc.
I love all the songs on Diamond City Radio and really like the little background ditties playing when you aren't listening to any radios.

[lilac saffron]

I adore the background music of the games. I rarely ever turn on the radio

[hidden spire]

I love Bethesda studios

[weak coyote]

It's love hate relationship with me.

[silent gale]

I do enjoy the radio stations in fallout for sure

I’m having way too much fun doing a raider play. Never done that

[finite condor]

Something I love about FO3/4/76 is roleplaying different character types. In a 3D graphical environment it’s especially enjoyable. And with 4/76 the ability to make settlements/camps really expands how much you can enjoy the game and provides a huge longevity boost

[silent gale]

I usually never play this way so I figured I would try. Playing as the crazy father/husband on a warpath to punish everyone for his pain and raid the wasteland 😅.

Building and selling chem, raiding settlements etc..

[stable sail]

Is Lucy Grandchester a tribute to Lucius the game from 2012?

[hallow nebula]

Can u turn off community mods?

Everytime on xbox one when I load a game some community mods instantly turn and cause the game to have issues.

I have Uninstaller the game many times and restart it but same mods keep instantly and won't uninstall

Like for example the biggy bank launcher and a few others. Still get the death arrows and exclamation marks too

[weak coyote]

Different roleplays are even better if you ignore the main story, that way you don't have to force in the characters background and reasons they are moving forward along the main story.

[sacred nebula]

How the hell do I make fallout 4 run properly? It always has random frame drops and I have better specs than the ones that steam recommends?!?!?!?!?!?! Tbh its literally unplayable! even when I try turning the graphics ALL THE WAY DOWN it still runs the same......

[weak coyote]

Creation club content was added with the next Gen update, it's always installed and active... You'd have to use user created mods to disable them.

[hallow nebula]

Oh really?

And what/which ones exactly would I have to use?

[weak coyote]

Go into the creation club menu, see what's installed.

[hallow nebula]

Would it give you a option to Uninstall?

[weak coyote]

No

[hallow nebula]

Im almost off work so im trying to know what to do when I get home to fix the issue

[weak coyote]

Not even by deleting the game data and reinstalling... The ccc is part of the update data

[hallow nebula]

So i have to delete all data of fallout 4? Would that work?

[weak coyote]

No

[hallow nebula]

So then I can't play it then, tried 2 years already and those creation club mods ruin the game

Unless i have an old version but I feel thats impossible

Unless there is a mod to block those mods

[weak coyote]

You'd have to play without installing the update... Which the game would be waaaay worse.

[hallow nebula]

So to play the game I have to deal with those issues in game?

[weak coyote]

There are mods that disable the next gen update creation club content.

[hallow nebula]

Cause last time I tried to play o couldn't even leave sanctuary hills without a question mark killing me, red invsible barriers and other stuff killing me right outside the neighborhood

[weak coyote]

Are you playing with mods?

[hallow nebula]

Mods that cancle the creation club in the mod menu or the creation club menu?

If in mod menu that sucks, since I wanna play to get the achievements

If in creation club then thats fine

[hallow nebula]

Nope, just creation club recent update stuff that auto installs that causes issues

[weak coyote]

User created mods that disable the next gen update ccc

[hallow nebula]

I didn't even buy anything in creation club

[hallow nebula]

Look into then when I get home if it doesn't work, I'll not play it and wait for fallout 5

I play fallout 76 too so im doing that since f4 is having issues lol

[weak coyote]

Don't expect the next game to be any better... Bethesda is known for buggy headache games.

[hallow nebula]

Yeah but to even play a game for 2 years with bigs and issues every time I install while others can play perfectly is not right

[stoic oasis]

i made a mod atleast disabling it from spawning and so on for the baked in CC content after the update published it on all platforms

[sacred nebula]

how do I fix this problem does anybody know?

[tribal valve]

I put a nukatron torso onto a mister handy with red paint and some raider parts. He looks decent save for the eyes

[tribal valve]

Idk how but Paladin Danse got himself some X01

[tough umbra]

Fr paladin danse gatekeeping the good loot areas

[tribal valve]

I think sparing him was the right choice

Invincible PA companion? And all I have to do is be a boy scout? (And not bother the dudes in their silly Goodyear blimp?)

[tough umbra]

Hhahahaha

[tribal valve]

I think I'll make Danse wear pink PA

Oo! Or I'll put him in the giddyup buttercup voltron set

The possibilities are endless

[lofty parcel]

Bubble gum pink

?

[modest pivot]

Yes😈

[lofty parcel]

6 7

[modest pivot]

67?

[noble sinew]

Why're there no Tom Leher songs in fallout?

[tribal valve]

With Nuka world, can I get the raider perks without upsetting the minutemen?

I'd assume no.

[drowsy sentinel]

I just got a 980 ti, and damn, does playing fallout 4 with the intended specs make a world of difference

the game is buttery smooth

[tribal valve]

Side with the institute or the brotherhood...

Hmm... One gave me free power armor, and mean words toward my homie(s) and the other just won't let me have homies there

[tribal valve]

Brotherhood

[tribal valve]

Oh man, I just activated Liberty prime. I'd almost forgotten how awesome he is

Almost makes me proud to be an American

[steady tundra]

...or buy Fallout 4 GOTYE on GOG. You could wait for the next sale and get it for $9.99-$14.99.
I know it sucks to buy it twice but the GOG version is the latest edition before the next-gen update.
Also, look at Fallout London. It's a total conversion mod for FO4 that is not compatible with the next-gen update. There's pretty good instructions on how to do the downgrade. They may even have a 1-click flawless downgrade now.

[steady tundra]

Can you complete the BoS, spare Dance, and still use the Minuteman to get the so-called best ending (only institute dies)?

Or are you already kicked out of the RR at that point?

[steady tundra]

I think you can get at least some.
I remember watching a vid where the parts that upset Preston are when you kill people in settlements to make them raider settlements. Instead of killing you just have to convince them to leave (bring a lot of caps). 😉

[hallow nebula]

Isn't fallout London pc only

[steady tundra]

Oh, shoot, sorry.

[hallow nebula]

Wish it wasn't though

[steady tundra]

I think they still have good instruction for downgrading. Maybe even a one-click program that does it for you.

[hallow nebula]

Oo ok

[fierce hare]

hey my mods wont work can anybody help me

[velvet delta]

Try #fallout-4-mods or #1087805680829857822

[fierce hare]

i treid

[fickle cliff]

No you didn't, you tried here and #introductions

try the channels CouchTato suggested

[tribal valve]

Hmm

Nuked the institute.

So.... Beyond making part of Boston more unlivable... Did I actually do anything actually good?

[unkempt jasper]

anyone else find the main story of fallout 4 really confusing

people have probably heard that before, but the side quests atmosphere, and gameplay of fallout 4 is so fun and well made (other than settlement building), but the main 4(honestly 3 real factions) like are vague and confusing and most of the characters are so inconsistent in their actions and philosophy

also any tips on settlement building 💔

[copper siren]

how does one remove mods if one no longer has access to the mods list anymore

[mild current]

I only have instructions for Xbox, but: Press the menu/start button on Fallout 4, then "Manage game & Add-ons", then delete your save data. When you next load the game, the console will download your game saves and you'll have deleted your mods from the console.

[copper siren]

@mild current I no longer have access to ingame mods

[mild current]

It's not new for a Bethesda game's side content to be better than the main story, haha. 😅 The joy of these games is actually to break away from the main story. Some examples of inconsistencies would be cool if you can be bothered of course, but I don't find many factions likable. 😅

[mild current]

That's how you delete your mods from the game without going into the game.

Go to the Xbox home screen and press the menu button on the Fallout 4 icon. You'll find an option called "Manage game and add-ons" and in there you will see your save data. You need to delete that to delete the mods.

[copper siren]

I think i understand. sorry not very smart when it comes to this stuff

[unkempt jasper]

All of fathers ideology and the institutes actions, he constantly ‘lies’ (which I don’t think he is even aware of) nor is he painted as any sort of real tragedy to give him depth. Well the railroad is the railroad enough said on them

[copper siren]

@mild current Thank you I did get it figured out.

[mild current]

Yaay! I'm glad! 😁

[unkempt jasper]

it’s mostly the institute as a main Villian being exceptionally weak with a vague message or philosophy behind them

Like the question of at what point does something become a human, is, I think it’s a difficult and rich question but it’s not like deciding the fate of the Capitol wasteland or the Mojave

what does the institute even want

[mild current]

Ugh, the Institute is a joke. Father's been in charge for decades so all of their actions are because of him.

And yeah the Railroad is another. No Institute, no synths. No synths, no Railroad. The Railroad has no endgame. They blow up the birthplace of synths, but the alternative is taking it over and pumping the commonwealth full of synths themselves. 😆

[unkempt jasper]

sorry for the rant, maybe if the minute men (or railroad more) had BIG decisions regarding questions of synths and the institute seeing more and grounded examples of synths discrimination so the player has a real reason to care

[unkempt jasper]

how did he get in charge of a technocracy and meritocracy, I mean the game waves it off as like “he’s a really good scientist”, while being an actually terrible scientist not just in morality but practice

my sons a moron!!!!

[mild current]

That's kind of how I feel about the main story to be honest. I'm just expected to care about a "family" I met 5 minutes ago. 😑

He was "pure" wasn't he? He was cryogenically frozen like us so he's a pristine product of the old world. That's why we're regarded as a "backup". 😅

[unkempt jasper]

I liked the spouse as a character and felt like a really good motivations more than my stinky son

[mild current]

Well, guess I'm heartless then, because I couldn't care less about either. 😆

[unkempt jasper]

yeah his ideas weren’t plagued by the commonwealth quote on quote

[unkempt jasper]

general, another settlement needs your help. I’ll mark it on your map

[mild current]

Well that was a mood killer. 😑

I typed a dramatic message telling Preston to get out of my head, but bot said no. 😔

[mild current]

I'm starting to think that's an immortal meme to be honest. Ever since launch and it's still a viable joke. 😅

[steady tundra]

I can't play the game without the Who's the General mod. Otherwise he literally comes around the corner and immediately just gives you another quest like...

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-dwight-schrute-gif-14865294

[tribal valve]

He does?

Huh. I just conquered every settlement and he's just been helping guard my red rocket

[tribal valve]

Neato. Those poor hubologists

I guess things didn't... Turn out alright for them.

[weak coyote]

Go on YouTube and watch settlement builds to get inspiration, like norespawns, he does no mods settlement builds that are very creative.

[tribal valve]

I think the pickman quest is neat

[thorny trellis]

Does anyone know if Preston will still become a follower if I can conquer the castle for my raiders and then later wipe them all out before saving Preston from the museum

[tribal valve]

That will probably give you issues

But, like as long as you don't talk to him when you do all the raider stuff, it should turn out alright

[swift orbit]

i finished the game yipeee

[mild current]

Now to play it again!

[steady tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/one-does-not-simply-facepalm-mordor-gif-14797008

[magic current]

Hehe flaming cryolator and freezing flamers

Laughs in Geneva suggestions

[wise needle]

Wasn't fallout 4's supposed to be bigger before release?

[mild current]

I can't help but think most RPGs once had grander visions and had to tone things down later to realistic values. 😅

[weak coyote]

They always say things that never become reality.

[steady tundra]

Original Vision vs. top managers hitting a deadline = deadlines always win.
This is why games are released is such a sorry state nowadays, or are in perpetual early access.

[lilac saffron]

There's cut content but nothing about it being drastically bigger than what we got

[stable sail]

Bro I'm starting the raider settlement stuff, I thought it was gonna be fast but I have to think about their happiness and consult a user manual, what is this

[stoic oasis]

well one thing that is clearly cut early on but still made it in the game somehow is the combat zone and easy city downs those 2 spots where THE spots for friendly raiders and triggermen hell i bet you both those spots were prob made to be able to fight in(combat zone) or bet on the races(city down)

[stoic oasis]

if you dont mind using mods and ur on xbox i have something for that xd

[stable sail]

I can't I have to do it legit for the trophies

[stoic oasis]

ah so ur on Sony yeah its best to keep playing umodded since sony is a real buzzkill when it came to mods

[weak coyote]

As far as I remember, there were no consequences to not setting them up with all they need to be happy... Just take over a settlement, attach a supply settlement, then leave them.
I've never bothered with setting up radios either.

[steady tundra]

I believe you can lose control of a settlement when happiness drops to 0, but this is difficult to do. I'm not concerned about settlements on this playthrough and I have ones where I have done absolutely nothing and happiness hovers around 25%. So, I wouldn't worry about your raider or settler settlements unless you actually want to.

[weak coyote]

If they want to be happy... They can go raid.

I'm the overboss, they should be setting up settlements and supply vassels for me.

[stable sail]

I was taking the third settlement by force, and Codsworth which I was keeping as companion started attacking me

[weak coyote]

That's why you should take Guage with you.

[thorny trellis]

Doing nuka world straight from the vault on survival is no joke

You just get 1 shot by everything

[fickle cliff]

[weak coyote]

Eh, it's a challenge, but if you stealth, use mines and grenades you find, you can get through the gauntlet... Colter is the real problem, Stay inside the glass room, use the corner to hit him with water, toss in all grenades when he's not moving, unload all ammo when he's weakened.

[eager aurora]

Tried this and couldn't make it past the gunny people

[thorny trellis]

I just have to claim safari adventure and bottling plant

[thorny trellis]

Problem solver is doing a lot of the work but the 7.62 goes fast

[potent vapor]

Do settlement shop vendors or certain other vendors sell and restock jangles the moon monkeys?? Penny had one and made me think

[weak coyote]

Switch it to semi auto, make your shots count... Plus the semi auto receivers do more damage.

[wise needle]

Is there a mod for the Boston airport to have its runway repaired to prewar Condition?

[thorny trellis]

No good I’m running a commando build

[thorny trellis]

Just have bottling plant left

[stable sail]

Why is macready a meme

[boreal pewter]

I really wish they would fix the Pip-Boy app

[weak coyote]

He was a character in 3

[weak coyote]

It was discontinued, not broken.

[boreal pewter]

What’s the point in keeping it on the App Store then?

Or to keep the Pip-Boy App option in the FO4 settings, even after the Next-Gen update?

[mild current]

I think maybe you should send Bethesda an email and ask them directly. 😅

[steady tundra]

It would cost Bethesda more money to remove it from the game than to just discontinue the service.

[potent vapor]

does anyone know of a chat or server that I could collaborate with knowledgeable fo4 players to answer this

[velvet delta]

Just a heads up, we do not allow invite links to other unofficial servers here, but anyone is welcome to DM that information if you like. You can also check Google and Reddit for recommendations on other servers. As for our own official servers, you can find them in #official-sites

[weak coyote]

If it appeared in a vendors shop, it's most likely in all of thier leveled lists for vendors that sell general goods, or it could just be that particular vendor that can have one.

Idk,i use multiple mods that alter leveled lists, I see Jangles sold every general vendor.

If your looking to have many for whatever reason, just craft them.

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Jangles_the_Moon_Monkey_(Fallout_4)

[potent vapor]

You can craft them on ps4?

Thanks for your help btw this is unbelievably important to me

[stoic oasis]

if you dont mind using mods i can whip you up a mod where i can make em craftable for you

[potent vapor]

I’ve never used them before on ps4, but as long as it doesn’t crash my game and make it lag like crazy yeah thatd be super helpful

Thats why I was so heavily looking into how to farm them. Theres no concrete info on it anywhere

[stoic oasis]

it would be no problem and it wont crash ur game literally all i would have to do is find Jangles in the Creation Kit, click a button to make a crafting recipe and then give said recipe the correct keywords, i will even give it its own crafting category called JANGLES

PM me please so we can hash out the details

[potent vapor]

So valid. Sounds good

[thorny trellis]

Can’t you make them with the builder in the contraptions dlc?

[weak coyote]

Manufacturing machine

[potent vapor]

Thought u needed mods for that

[weak coyote]

DLC

[potent vapor]

oh really? I couldn’t find any information on people being able to build those in vanilla game

I think you’re lying to me

[weak coyote]

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Contraptions_Workshop

[weak coyote]

Do you not know what DLC is?

[potent vapor]

Yeah no im super familiar just haven’t purchased it. I genuinely thought it was a mod to craft the monkeys but it looks like you make them with cloth fiberglass and stuff

So thats still completely vanilla awesome

@stoic oasis

Did u know this?

[weak coyote]

Most people assume everyone owns all the dlc... Goty version/season pass.

[potent vapor]

I only seen one reddit thread ab a jangles army and he mentioned contraptions + mods so i thought it was a mod to make them

Im def getting it. I’m super late game on one acc but shouldnt matter

Fo4 is literally goated now

[weak coyote]

Get the season pass, or goty version, it's on sale frequently.

[potent vapor]

Like its a top tier game for me, the thing holding it back is the game breaking permanent softlocks that can commonly occur

[weak coyote]

Psn store

[potent vapor]

I already have far harbor, nuka world and automaton. So I’ll probably just get them individually

[weak coyote]

They are frequently on sale aswell individually.

[potent vapor]

If not I’ll suck it up I’m getting it today

Now I Just need a real jangles the moon monkey

[weak coyote]

Also... Recommend getting the game on ps5, it runs much better, alot less freezing and crashes.

[potent vapor]

Yeah i would but I’m waiting on gta 6 so I’ll get it and bundle with the ps6, or whatever latest ps console out

Dont want to get a ps5 now and then immediately have outdated hardware

Preciate the info tho

[thorny trellis]

Yeah

[potent vapor]

https://imgur.com/46eZ2C2

Well would you look at that… believe this is a whole list of buildables from contraptions

[stoic oasis]

i did not i have that DLC but never really used it lol

[weak coyote]

I have to use a manufacturing overhaul mod because plasma cells can't be built with the ammunition plant.

[potent vapor]

So awesome its vanilla this’ll be easy. Really still appreciate you reaching out tho and offering to make pretty much the same thing 4 me

Thank you fallout discord gameheads. Its so hard to find a lotta info ab this online

[weak coyote]

Curious... Why do you want, I assume many many of these Jangles?

[thorny trellis]

I like that it shows the profit

I’m going to make a giddyup factory

[potent vapor]

Im ngl I had a habit of just duping fertilizer and plastic and you can make infinite jet to use or sell

[thorny trellis]

I usually just use the dlc to make an instamash and ammo factory

[fierce spire]

does anyone know how to open this passage in the castle?

[dawn tinsel]

nuka world?

[fierce spire]

Cestles

Castle

[dawn tinsel]

do you mean nuka king's castle?

[fierce spire]

Not a castle with a radio

Not in Nuka World

[serene arch]

Castle has an area locked off until a Minuteman quest is started

[hollow abyss]

Regel Eins: Clear out the Area, then search entire area.

[thorny trellis]

With the quest old guns

You can scrap the debris pile to enter but you can’t get into the armoury that way without the quest

[thorny trellis]

I just got the nuka-nuke fatman for the first time

[weak coyote]

Follow the main quest at the start, then help Preston with (or own) 8 settlements, preferably taking him with you as a companion while doing this to save on travel time, he will eventually ask you to help him with the castle, soon after an npc will contact you and ask you to come to the castle and help with something further... The door is opened by doing her quest.

[magic olive]

Good evening to all ☃️.

[mint pike]

Burh fallout 4 keeps crashing on my Xbox series s when I'm using mods, what the hell is wrong with the game

The game worked fine before

Someone needs to make a patch update where to stop mods from crashing the game on consoles

This is why I stopped playing fallout 4 because of the stupid crashes

Fallout 4 on new Gen consoles ain't suppose to crash

>:(

[weak coyote]

Do some research on stable load orders.
You can't just download mods and expect things to work with no issues, conflicts happen.

[mint pike]

I didn't do load orders because I'm a bit lazy

I just download and play

[weak coyote]

Doesn't really work that way

[mint pike]

Wdym

[weak coyote]

Already said

[mint pike]

The game literally crashes when I start a new game like it would load and then freezes then exit out the game back to my home menu

Like I don't understand,

This is why I stopped playing

[weak coyote]

If you take a little time and research things, you can figure it out and play just fine with mods.

But there are going to be crashes, freezes, bugs, glitches, performance issues etc... No matter what... This studio is known for it, every game they create has issues.

[mint pike]

I played this game a couple of times with mods, never crashed on me once, now that I tried to play again, it crashes

I am on the the new Gen Xbox series s

[weak coyote]

The next gen update causes issues with mods.

[mint pike]

I hope they are gonna patch the crashes

[weak coyote]

We been waiting like a year now...for another update.

[mint pike]

Not gonna play fallout 4 until they fix that

[weak coyote]

That's been my attitude aswell

[mint pike]

If they don't fix it, just don't play it anymore until they do fix the crash problems for new gen

The game starts up without mods just fine, but when you install mods it just crashes the entire game and bringing you back to home menu

[weak coyote]

It's playable if you know how to arrange your load order... I have 99 mods installed on ps5 version, I can play about 4 hours at a time before it crashes or freezes.

[mint pike]

I'm just not gonna play at all until they patch up that

[weak coyote]

Keep an eye out for update news around the time season 2 of the show drops, my guess is they do something with Fallout 4 around that time... Purely speculation.

[mint pike]

Wait there's gonna be an update

[weak coyote]

Not what I said

[thorny trellis]

Does anyone explore the glowing sea much?

[serene arch]

good xp there with all the high level monsters

[sterile bear]

Only if i have to

[quasi spindle]

real

its only fun if you have the enclave add on

[tribal valve]

I just found out about the supply lines

I'm now making the Red Rocket, my glorious Shady Sands replacement

[thorny trellis]

I have 900 7.62 rounds surely that enough for the bottling plant

Okay I forgot that you shouldn’t give your follower ammo for the launcher

[proud swallow]

Red rocket is my home, set it up to be a base with working plumbing 😂

I'm also looking for good mod recommendations

[hazy quartz]

What the hell type of logic is that

Sorry for the late response I was busy for two months

[hazy quartz]

What platform

[west trout]

Do a "no mods" playthrough so you can experiance the next gen update. I did this and beat the game. During my entire no mods playthrough I crashed randomly only like 3 times. That's it. Then, I added mods back in and tested them one by one. I had about 30 mods and it was a beautiful load order. The only problem though is I mod for building settlements and xbox does not support f4se. Because of this, even with the absolute most perfect clean load order, if you got too many large settlement workshop mods, your build menu can take a long time to boot up. Mine was taking 19 seconds. This is unacceptable to me because on pc, I had 364 mods running and workshop was still instantaneous thanks to f4se workshop lag fix.

[hazy quartz]

Oh nevermind
The Johnny silverhand pistol mod is kinda cool let me get the name

[proud swallow]

PC/steam

[hazy quartz]

There's a mod for the malorian arms 3516

It's not the most interesting mod but cool gun

[west trout]

If you ever do a modded plauthrough, use cheat terminal or console commands to change weather to clear. It's a very different vibe without the radiation storm and you can see map locations you missed.

[west trout]

EVERY settlement should have plumbing to some degree imo 😄

[proud swallow]

Nah not covenant, they can use the lake

[west trout]

Even in winter? That's cruel

I imagine even after a nuclear war, people could eventually dig wells and ducts like ancient in times. Hey look! An aqua duct river of floating poo! Where's the mod for that?

[verbal mural]

I had mods before the next gen update as i had beaten the game, After the update i wanted to do a no mods run but sadly i couldnt delete my mods due to the bug thats been going around for a year. It sucks and i wish it gets fixed

[steady tundra]

If on XB just clear the reserve space for the game. If on PC you can manually browse to the game folder and delete mods.
Then just fully uninstall and reinstall the game and you should be back to vanilla.

(on PC, it's a good idea to delete the FO4 game folder and FO4 folder in Documents before reinstalling to go back to true vanilla)

[sudden gust]

I recently bought fallout 4 for ps4 ( I got a friend's old ps4 )

[lilac saffron]

Cool

[west trout]

Just do a fresh re install and no mods 🤷‍♂️ sometimes its fun to start all over

[tribal valve]

Is the anti material rifle any good?

I just realized I have it iinstalled. Figure I might do this paper mirror quest and the deathclaw one.

[weak coyote]

It was dope in FONV

[tribal valve]

IK

That's what I'm asking. Is the Anti Material rifle in 4 any good?

So far it seems like the best shotgun I've ever gotten for point blank stealth removal of enemies

[tribal valve]

Oh man. It's like. POW! Instant enemy obliteration.

I guess it sucks to be material in a world where a war "hero," has an anti material rifle

[weak coyote]

If it was good in the other game, chances are it's good in this one... Is what I was basically saying.

[tribal valve]

Ah

I'm finding it to be great imo

[serene arch]

Is it level locked ? I'm level 10 and was thrilled to get a hunting rifle to upgrade from my pipe rifle

[weak coyote]

The anti material rifle is creation club content

[serene arch]

nice, it's on sale, I hope it comes fully modded so I don't have to wait until GunNut and Science are maxed

[thorny trellis]

I got a 2 shot laser rifle

Never used them before

[thorny trellis]

My raiders have also been taking over the commonwealth

[mild current]

What factions did you choose to support?

[thorny trellis]

Nuka world raiders

[mild current]

Yes... I mean which of the raider factions did you choose to support?

[tribal valve]

Nuka world? Operators and the pack

[mild current]

I was trying to engage with you and make a conversation, but I guess you just wanted to talk to no one? 😅

[tribal valve]

Does the minutemen radio stop if Preston hates me?

I actually like that station...

[mild current]

Logic tells me it shouldn't stop, but logic doesn't always apply to Bethesda world building. 😞

[mellow rock]

whats the sweetspot for fps?

unlimited im tooo fast

no matter what i cap it at im apparently the flash 💔

[stoic oasis]

i take it ur on PC there is a mod out there that fixes this issue so movement speed aint tied to fps

[mellow rock]

whats the mod 🙏

i have the high fps physics one

[magic current]

tbh if its a option i always cap to 60

[mellow rock]

im trynna experience that high frames fallout 4 gameplay

[stoic oasis]

oh that should be the one lol

[mellow rock]

damn.

[ebon bay]

Maybe radiation made ppl less smart? I mean, the BOS use to say "local, go bang some rocks" for a reason.

wastelanders are not the smartest bunch

ghouls with prewar knowledge were probably the ones that carried civilization post great war till they went feral

[west trout]

Good point. But digging trenches to carry poo away shouldn't be rocket science though.

[hasty hazel]

Is there any fix to settler shops not working? I googled it and saw posts about it 10 years old

[weak coyote]

Hunter gatherers did... The people that didn't have those skills, the people with knowledge, hung around the hunter gatherers and relied on them for protection, food, and water... Just like real world.

Read some Graham Hancock and Randall Carlson.

[mild current]

He's demanding it. You have to! 👀

[hallow nebula]

So f4 is working so far and barley in the wasteland and already secured the spray and pray

[mild current]

I know I'm not thinking straight when I read "Spray and Pray" and thought of GTA's "Pay 'n' Spray" 😞

[hallow nebula]

Whatever its called its good. Does it stay strong or fade out over time?

[mild current]

Oh yeah, that is the name! Like I said, I just had a weird moment. 😅

I think it's good at any level, I'm using it on my character just fine. 😁

[hallow nebula]

Oo awsome

[hallow nebula]

Should be easy to make or buy the ammo too

[thorny trellis]

Operators and the Disciples

[mild current]

Oh okay, cool! Yeah, I find The Pack kind of weird, personally. Glad to see The Disciples getting some love! Great choices! 😁

[thorny trellis]

I’m trying to get the spiked armour from the disciples

[mild current]

Yeah, obtaining gear of factions you've aligned with can be a pain. Supposedly, if you give The Disciples a settlement and they have a gear vendor, they could have the armor for sale.

I'm not really the go-to for assistance though, sorry. I hope you find them! I think I got my armor pieces from Disciples who died fighting. 😅

[weak coyote]

Causes problems, you will make allies hostile, and throw items all over making them hard or never to be found.

Explosive guns are good for sniper rifles.

[fathom glen]

Still no update on romance Strong? /j

[weak coyote]

It was a suggestion.

[opaque tangle]

i remade the glowing sea in sanctuary #screenshots-and-video

with statues

[thorny trellis]

This instigating disciples blade with the 10x multi from ninja is op

I should get blitz

[pearl forge]

the best build is the broadsider build ngl

[thorny trellis]

I sell those

[barren plover]

i just installed fallout 4 and it feels too sluggish can anybody help me i have my settings on lowest preference and i have a graphic thats more than recomended

[upper cobalt]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/944802613378035733/1032284679686066216/hapee.gif

[merry glacier]

If you have a PC that can play something like Call of Duty or Guild Wars 2 then you should be able to use the Ultra Settings for the game.

[barren plover]

I actually xanplay call of duty fine but for some reasion i just have the cap for 60fps. I removed it so it feels better but noe when i walk my character stutters a bit

It was rpobably because of the fps cap tho

[merry glacier]

General Question

Has anyone played the Minutemen to the point you make an enemy of the BoS and get this quest: With Our Powers Combined never done it, so can anyone please give me a brief rundown of events, as I am thinking of going past a certain point after destroying the RR and Institute?

[merry glacier]

I have my FO4 on Ultra Mode for performance and it works just fine for me and my PC and play Call of Duty if I wanted to.

[thorny trellis]

The bos attack the castle and you have to defend it then you need to build a lot of artillery then destroy the prydwn

[merry glacier]

Thanks that much I can gather from the Wiki, what I want to know is, is there any extra events after the Airship goes BOOM and after Defend the Castle? Besides the standard quests

.
I suppose with the Rail Road gone and the Institute gone by this time, taking out the BoS means the game is essentially over as unless one is a glutton for more Preston Garvey "something Else has come up!" punishment riff there is not much to do, even if you finish Nuka World and Far Harbour

[weak coyote]

Plenty of side quests, places to explore and loot, settlements to build up, repeatable radiant quests... Roleplay... Etc...
You can easily get 200 hours in a completionist playthrough.

[merry glacier]

Sadly I have never even made the BOS and enemy I got to a point in the game where I have deleted all games and started from scratch again 🙂 LOL

[midnight vault]

Deathclaws are terrifying

[midnight vault]

Bro they're not even that bad tbh

[thorny trellis]

Psycho jet+ Commando + problem solver

[midnight vault]

I usually go with gatling laser or let automatron customized codsworth do the work

[thorny trellis]

Just explore every location

[merry glacier]

Okay

[thorny trellis]

Are you playing survival mode or regular?

[mild current]

You violate Cods's body? 🥺

[thorny trellis]

https://tenor.com/view/upgrades-robots-gif-21291099

[proven haven]

Alright how do we convince Bethesda that adding a romanceable Deathclaw in Fallout 5 is the best move?

[thorny trellis]

Well I mean in fallout 2 they apparently could talk

[proven haven]

It's possible for that reason alone!

[fast laurel]

I gave bro legs

[thorny trellis]

I got blitz now im unstoppable

[merry glacier]

Regular, I do not think I could handle survival mode lol

[mild current]

I second that! I tried it and got wrecked by a Glowing One at the start of the game. 😞

[merry glacier]

The aim is to get the best weapon possible in Vanilla play before facing a glowing one.

I have never played Survival, do not think I would ever want to

[mild current]

I didn't choose to take on a Glowing One... the game spawned one at Carla's location. I'm not that stupid as to take on strong enemies with nothing but a basic pistol. 😆

[subtle owl]

Theres a fatman and a mininuke at the other side of sanctuary lake in the robotic disposal area. u can also get a fusion core from disabling the sentry

[weak coyote]

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

It's not as hard to deal with as you think, it's just a little too much the first time cause your not used to it, stick with it and it won't be long before you figure out how to manage all the new mechanics.

[tall pivot]

The closest I came to finishing FO4 was when I beamed into the Institute and started blasting everything I saw.

I've only rescued Strong once because he's one of the worst companions in the franchise

[mild current]

A very honorable action. From my perspective, you completed your mission.

[tall pivot]

It would've been a harder decision if the Institute and BoS weren't objectively bad.

[mild current]

That's not how "objective" works, but regardless, you blasted the Institute and I like your decision. 😁

[tall pivot]

I mean the BoS crusade to kill non-hostile synths, non-feral ghouls, and intelligent super mutants is pretty messed up.

I'd say Minutemen are Lawful Good, Railroad is True Neutral, and the BoS and Institute are Lawful Evil

[mild current]

Okay, but that's still not how objectivity works. You personally find The Brotherhoods behavior something you don't agree with, which makes it a subjective opinion. 😅

They perceive synths as technological abominations, non-feral ghouls will turn feral given enough time, and super mutants are mutation abominations. A product of FEV.

Some people will agree with their views, some won't. All of our opinions, including mine, are subjective. 😁

[tall pivot]

More importantly, Chad Big Mountain dunks on the virgin Institute

[mild current]

Oh Big Mountain is awesome! I find Dala my favorite. She's so unusual. Do you have a favorite doc? Or maybe an enemy type? 😁

The Institute has nothing on those wacky docs. 😊

[tall pivot]

I love the whole thing. OWB is the best DLC in New Vegas and Big Mountain is one of the best locations in Fallout. I hope we see it again in the Amazon show.

[weak coyote]

My first playthrough ever I thought the institute was the best chance for people... Subjective.

[thorny trellis]

Just give it ago it makes the game more fun

When I started my first ever playthrough on survival I died 6 times trying to get through the museum but in my current playthrough I already did the nukaworld dlc from level 3

[pulsar rain]

Is there a place for free creation club updates here?

[tidal halo]

Yesss

Todd bless the Enclave

And there's an enclave role

Aw man

[west trout]

Getting into the institute is barely the halfway point in the game.

[tall pivot]

The plot didn't really hold my attention. Most of my time playing FO4 is simply spent wandering and/or testing modded guns.

[west trout]

I understand. For me, it was settlement building that became an addiction. Still is everyday! I need help! Can't stop building!!! 😖😖

[mild current]

Yeah, the main story isn't that good for me. The point of these games is to explore and do the side stuff anyway, but the main story doesn't capture me. It felt like I was a passenger, experiencing someone else's story, not making my own. 😞

[lilac saffron]

That is the half way point of the story. Killing Kellogg is the general point when act 2 starts. After entering the Institute the final act begins where you start properly siding with a faction

[west trout]

Maybe for me it just felt like it was just barely a halfway point because after that point, trying to juggle every factions missions before needing to make a decision felt twice as long compared to the time it took me to get into the institute in the first place.
My very first playthrough however, getting into the institute felt like near the end of the game and I too, went on an instant rampage after speaking with father.

[lime quail]

Has anyone ever had an issue with vats being just randomly disabled

My whole Institute playthrough has had no vats since leaving the vault

[pale oak]

Hi, i have an issue. Does somebody here know, why i cant open the red door in Sunshine Tidings or enter the Terminal. If i click "E" on it, it just does nothing

[weak coyote]

That's the best way to roleplay, from the characters perspective.

[mild current]

Yes, and that character should be my character. I already explained, but I'll say it again: I felt like a passenger in Fallout 4. Like I was experiencing someone else's story, not mine.

If the story worked for you, great. It didn't for me. 😁

[weak coyote]

I know what you said... You don't seem to get what I'm saying.

It's the characters story.

[mild current]

I know it is. It's not my character, though. Me personally, I felt like the story wasn't mine. This is a matter of how I personally felt playing the game, if it doesn't align with your experience and opinion, there's nothing that can be done about it.

[glossy topaz]

Bro has no enemies

[ebon dew]

I think people just have different ways to look at it. Like me, personally I feel like roleplaying in fallout 4 is pretty easy. Sure, you have an established story in Fallout 4, but you also have an established story in New Vegas. The only things we know about “Nate” (if you play as the male character) is, he was in the military, served in anchorage, has a wife and son. That’s it. And if you play as “Nora”, all you know is you have a husband, a son, and have a law degree. That’s it. I think Bethesda was trying to create a tear away effect. Where the once civilized world you once knew is no more. No one besides two characters in the game knows you from pre-war. (Arguably 3 but that’s not really true) It is your choice on how the wasteland affects you. Not the in game characters.

Also, I don’t think that Nate and Nora are true canonical names for them. I think it was just a gameplay mechanic to give characters names to further your RP experience. Like- you’d know your wife’s or husband’s name of course. So they just filled in generic names for the opposite character. But I could be wrong. Idk.

[mild current]

Yeah I understand that, but my gripes with the game is that the story just expects you to care. The character I play is so incredibly attached to Shaun and your partner, but I'm not. I don't care because I've known them 5 minutes. The character also spends a good chunk of the game seeking revenge on Kellogg, which you have to be angry at him and kill him.

It's things like this that detach me from the story and the character. I'm just watching a movie at that point. The character is given preset emotions and attachments, which I cannot change and haven't chosen. That's why I feel the story and character aren't mine.

That's also where it differs from New Vegas. You're a courier wanting to know who and why someone attempted to killed you. You can seduce Benny and sleep with him, and killing Benny is optional, effectively forgiving him. I feel like I have more freedom in New Vegas.

[ebon dew]

The same can be said for Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. In New Vegas, you’re shot in the head by Benny and hunt him down. Now I would understand hunting him down because he shot you, but you don’t. You hunt him down for a platinum chip. A courier job you were hired for. Why? I simply don’t care about this dumb chip because I don’t know anything about it. Same can be said for Fallout 3. My father goes missing and so I leave the comfort of my vault to go find him. The first half of the game revolves around finding your father. Yet, I don’t care about him. I’ve known him for 10 minutes in a beginning sequence. Same could be said for Fallout 76. The first half of your gameplay experience is you running around all of Appalachia in search of your overseer. Why? I don’t care about her. It’s because the game NEEDS a reason for you to do something. The game doesn’t require you to care. It’s the beauty of the fallout games. Sure; the beginning goal is to find your son in Fallout 4. Yet when you leave the vault, you meet Preston Garvey, or perhaps you skip him and go straight to Nuka World on accident. You can do so much in the game. Where you can be this evil character who raids settlements and becomes an overboss. Or you can be a caring, charismatic leader of the minutemen and help free the commonwealth from the shadow of the Institute. Or- you could be a side character and help the Brotherhood of Steel complete their mission. The goal very clearly shifts from saving your son, to also saving the commonwealth or ultimately making it worse. Your choice.

Look, like I said: this is a matter of feeling for me. In my personal experience, I couldn't connect to the story. It didn't feel like my story to me. The stuff surrounding it is great. I love it, but my personal experience clearly doesn't align with yours, and that's okay. I love that you can enjoy the story, I'm genuinely really happy for you.

I'm not trying to say that the story objectively sucks. From the start I made it clear that it's my personal experience and feeling, so please stop trying to refute and challenge my personal experience.

The fact that one simple comment about me personally not liking the plot has spiraled into two people telling me I'm not making sense and that I'm wrong is insanity. I personally couldn't get into it. Please understand that.

[frigid jay]

Hi Guys!! My friend is currently stuck on top of the vault after just getting out. How can we solve this please? No mods are involved just pure vanilla

[serene arch]

turn the pc/console off and on again , and reload an earlier save and try again

If you are on pc , you could try noclipping with console command (tcl on,tcl off)

[finite condor]

other than the advice above, if you have the normal add-ons and especially any creation club stuff, make sure to let them all fully load in before you try moving or even pressing any key at all. This usually caused problems with codsworth, but it could help in this situation too possibly.

[ebon dew]

I…wasn’t saying you were wrong lol

[mild current]

You were trying to explain to me why Fallout 4's story is good, after I said I don't like it.

I didn’t though. You mistook my statement as a personal attack.

[serene arch]

[thorny trellis]

It’s not just good it’s great

[mild current]

You never explained why Fallout 4 is good?

[mild current]

I'm very happy you enjoy Fallout 4's story! 😊

[ebon dew]

No. My mere point was that New Vegas and Fallout 3 do the exact same thing.

[mild current]

That was one of your points, not just your mere point. If I have misunderstood you, I genuinely do apologize. ❤️

But you can't say you weren't trying to tell me how good Fallout 4 is:

"Like me, personally I feel like roleplaying in fallout 4 is pretty easy."

"It is your choice on how the wasteland affects you. Not the in game characters."

"The beginning goal is to find your son in Fallout 4. Yet when you leave the vault, you meet Preston Garvey, or perhaps you skip him and go straight to Nuka World on accident. You can do so much in the game. Where you can be this evil character who raids settlements and becomes an overboss. Or you can be a caring, charismatic leader of the minutemen and help free the commonwealth from the shadow of the Institute. Or- you could be a side character and help the Brotherhood of Steel complete their mission. The goal very clearly shifts from saving your son, to also saving the commonwealth or ultimately making it worse. Your choice."

[ebon dew]

Yeah but as I said in beginning “personally I feel like roleplaying in fallout 4 is pretty easy.”

The main goal of what I was trying to say is that all fallouts pretty much have the same flaw. There’s at least some form of pre fabricated story to play off of.

I wish they took roleplay to the extreme. Where in the beginning you had a choice on what your background was. And the game, judging by the background, will spawn you someplace for the beginning of the game. A different personal story for each background. Different experiences and such.

[mild current]

Yes! That reminds me of the alternate start mods people have made. I imagine creating multiple stories would be expensive to develop, but the replayability would be so nice. 😁

[ebon dew]

If they don’t have a voiced protagonist, the price decreases dramatically.

[mild current]

I don't play Fallout 76, but I'm glad they finally made playable ghouls. I really hope future Fallout games have this, too. I'd love them to develop it, too, instead of just it being visual. Have characters react to it. 🥰

[mild current]

Yeah, I was so unsettled at first about the voice acting, but it kind of grew on me over time. 😅

[ebon dew]

I honestly have a very unpopular opinion on factions as well. I don’t like when we are forced to just become members of factions. I really loved what they did with the Minutemen as I felt like it was the step in the right direction. Of course, you have factions you can join, but I always felt like there should be more factions we can actually lead. The only gripe I had about the Minutemen was it didn’t really feel like you were the leader. You were the only one that could defend settlements. You couldn’t dispatch a squad to a settlement defense or anything.

[mild current]

Is that really unpopular? 😐 I think the more freedom, the better. I agree with you there. I really think I'd like The Minutemen more if it felt like running an actual militia. Your points of the player doing all the work and not having minutemen to organize or assign is a bit shortcoming, it goes against their whole theme of people coming together. 😅

[halcyon marsh]

Where is the fallout new vegas place to talk?

[velvet delta]

New Vegas was developed by Obsidian, produced by Bethesda. This server is just for games developed by Bethesda, so there isn't a channel for it. You are free to discuss it in #fallout-general-chat #fallout-lore or #off-topic if you wish, however.

[halcyon marsh]

Oh thank you

[ebon dew]

For some odd reason, the majority of people who talk about the minutemen didn’t enjoy them as a faction and instead prefer the traditional “join a faction” approach.

[stoic oasis]

i always just saw the Minutemen as Fallout 4's Yes Man equivalent ie. the one road you can finish the game with if you pissed off all other factions

[finite condor]

im 100% team minutemen 😄

[thorny trellis]

Even when you pissed them off and be a nukaworld raider

[frosty hearth]

darlas not important right cuz i just threw a grenade in between the 4 of them without letting skinny finish his lil speech

[mild current]

If Darla was that important, Bethesda would have flagged her as essential. Don't worry about it. 😉

[random fractal]

Any chance someone can make a mod that completes the "meet ness at the crash site" I know there is a holotape of quest fixing but it isn't in there. Maybe creator can add that to it?

Im just tired of coming to that place and all the containers and what not are refilled. No matter what I do it won't mark as cleared.

[serene arch]

I don't even know what quest you're referring to

[mild current]

It's a miscellaneous quest from a random encounter.

[serene arch]

Is it Nuka World, Boston or Far Harbour encounter ?

[weak coyote]

Nah, if her and skinny live through speech check, they show up in a random event, your not missing much.

[weak coyote]

In the commonwealth, a merc approaches you in a random encounter and offers a quest that takes place at the plane crash site near the Galleria.

[serene arch]

never had that encounter, (I may have accidentally shot her)

[thorny trellis]

Building is hard

But like it’s the wasteland so I suppose it’s allowed to be a little janky

[serene arch]

I like building a pier/boardwalk at Longfellows Cabin outpost

[hazy ocean]

Hey guys

Just wanted to say that Liberty Prime is cool as hell

[sand silo]

are the mods working again?

[thorny trellis]

Why raiders always got no food 🤨

[lilac saffron]

On pc. Yes, most mods have been updated

I've heard console mods are in a rough shape

[thorny trellis]

I’ve almost enslaved every settlement aswell

[lilac saffron]

Although even on pc, there are still some that are somewhat flimsy. The Robco patcher got an update but it seems to cause crashes every now and then.

[fathom jolt]

I concur

[light mortar]

doing the far harbor puzzle 5 i’m gonna crash out

this is impossible

is there a glitch i can use?

[mild current]

Be a man and push through it! You got this! Once you do it, it's over! 😁

But to answer the question, I'm unaware of any glitches, but there is a mod I remember using years ago that put them all in a toolbox... if it's been updated or re-made for the wonderful "next-gen update" that destroyed mods. 😅

[urban sail]

If you put all the turrets in front of the hole in the wall right behind you when you start the puzzle, they will hit it while shooting the orbs and dissolve it, bypassing the entire puzzle

[lilac saffron]

Have no fear when this is here

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/16157

[weak coyote]

Mods... I use one that places the holotapes in the room next to the computer you use to enter the memory puzzles... Skip Dimas puzzles mod... The whole sequence sucks, I don't want to bother doing it ever again,even though they are easy enough to complete.

[thorny trellis]

The puzzle isn’t too bad

[serene arch]

I remember puzzle 5 I had to deconstruct a lot of blocks to build bridges

[thorny trellis]

Building without being able to place anywhere is worse

[west trout]

Yes there is a glitch https://youtu.be/9_kvgdVmT68?si=cBLeCtaOkuwAVgN7

[thorny trellis]

Anyone know why my game would be crashing all the time?

I’m on ps5 with no mods
