Topic: Fallout 4 (hopefully) Megathread

[KaZudra]

Oh yeah definitely getting the PC version, the mods alone are worth it.

[Lumi Kløvstad]

I honestly don't expect Fallout 4 to be as heavily modded as Skyrim became, but I've been wrong before.

I'd love to see Mjolnir Armor from the Halo series modded in and labelled something like "Prototype Next Gen Power Armor".

The game is built on the Skyrim engine, yet makes Skyrim look simplistic in almost every way.

This is what my bro's room mate had noticed the very first time. Fallout 4's engine is from skyrim and as such the bugs that plagued skyrim can be found in fallout4 as well. that's of course not counting the reused assets that Bethesda really loves to do cause they're lazy. And laziness is another reason why their games have so many bugs, especially if the engines are reused.

On another note, my character is sporting a good set of threads from the Brotherhood of Steel. She is also wearing one of the militiamen hats and a pair of shades that police officers wear. She now looks like a gunslinger from a sci-fi comic or something. I keep Codsworths with me wherever I go cause he's good at being the distraction for enemies while I shoot them from afar. But f@#k! Those damned super mutants are really starting to give me trouble.

Codsworth deserves a fanclub for being the trooper he is.

Best AI companion in any game, ever.

In Halo, Cortana started going rampant ahead of schedule

and then got "cured" and went full-on SHODAN after only 8 years

but dear me, Codsworth ain't just loyal and sane by the end of waiting 210 years for you, he's genuinely glad to see you and offers to make you dinner and tea, and tearfully regrets that he can't make it to his usual standards because of a dearth of quality ingredients. Bless the little bot, he tries hard for Autumn, so it's only natural she tries to be strong for his sake.

That's some goddamn dedication.

Dude's family for my character, and Autumn treats him better than any other character.

Codsworth even quotes a line from Monty Python's Holy Grail when an enemy hits him

"Ti's but a scratch!"

lol.

Getting 100% happiness on any settlement is a real challenge, especially when I haven't encountered the Dog merchant yet.
for once, this is a Fallout/TES game that doesn't need many mods to improve the game, and waiting to fix the fun exploits is good.

Adhesive is "rare" but I find Aluminum to be much more rare because of all the uses it has on just about every upgrade.
Supply lines is great, turns my resources into a cloud so whenever there is a new settlement needed, I can just send a line it's way and establish it rather quickly.
Can someone help me find Gene, the Dog vendor? or better yet a way to get a dog in every settlement?
Though I dislike the lack of Role-play and lack of choices, the Dialogue for the most part is really well done.

Mods to Consider for any version:
Item Sorting, Especially in the MISC and AID areas, you're gonna have so much shit in there remembering which Holotape you just picked up is essential.
Armor/Clothing upgrade expansion, Some outfits are Really cool, too bad it sucks in combat compared to your modular set, I would like to armor up my minutemen suit.
Quest timers, Some quests have a timer, knowing which ones are timed can be useful when you're off touring around.
Settler Management\upgrades, Some sort of indication of who does what would be nice, a simple icon beside their names would do, and maybe a progression of who's better at doing what, I would like to see the already fun aspect of Settlements to be less frustrating and more fun, See more in detail of who's doing what so that accidents won't be made and better yet a less frustrating way to fix those mistakes.
More Upgrades!, why does the Shiskebob only have one upgrade while the Swatter has 20?

I'm feeling rather mixed about fallout 4. I like it but at the same time it's got issues that kinda bring it down for me. I don't like the fact that I'm somewhat forced to provide for settlers. And that I'm the one who's supposed to build everything for them when the game itself should have them building everything they'll need. Also the crafting for power, housing, beds, etc. is really tedious and non-descriptive. There is no proper set of instructions in order to construct habitats for the people. The game expects you to do this stuff without even properly explaining it to you in a way that you'll get. Or get in anyway at all. Bethesda obviously did not properly implement the crafting feature as they should have. A friend of mine had to continuously go online and read a walkthrough before finally getting it. While it's a great idea and I'm sure it would have been stellar had it been "properly implemented with instructions, it fall short on Bethesda's part--laziness. Just like their bug issues. And frankly building settlements shouldn't be such a hassle either. Everything about settlement construction should be more automatic rather then feeling your way in the dark. It just doesn't work well in that regard.

So Marcy Long has been helping herself to my bed in Sanctuary (you know, in the house I lived in before the war). I have tried barricading the room even (using an armoire to block all entry) but she still gets in somehow.

WHAT THE HELL.

I give the downer bitch a community center with scenic views, a basketball court, a pool table, wet bar, and twice as many beds as necessary. I bring in food and medical supplies and make sure the people want for nothing.

And yet

She keeps breaking into my heavily fortified home (8 foot walls all around, machine gun turrets on roof, Dogmeat guarding) to help herself to my ONE BED. She has TEN in a nearby building to choose from that are just as nice.

wtf is with this woman.

This is because I have the only working light bulb in town, isn't it!?

Well, I managed to complete Fallout 4 and I'm still on the fence about it. Being somewhat forced into a faction is not something Id consider fun or wanting more of. I kinda went with the Brotherhood of Steel and I really don't like their Xenophobic attitude. The only reason why I went with them in the first place was to see Liberty Prime tear shit up like it did in fallout 3.

"Do not fear the Red Menace!" LOL!

The other factions (from what I've read) aren't exactly any better either and this is very disappointing for me. I would go back to skyrim more-so then fallout 4 because it doesn't nearly have all the negative penalizations that fallout 4 does apparently. I personally want the best ending to any game that doesn't make me feel like I've wasted my time trying to help everyone only to get dumped on instead. I know you can't get everyone to like you but at the very least give me the majority of vote rather then taking paths 1-2-3-4 and find out that no-matter what, nothing changes in terms of peoples' attitudes.

I'm starting over because my game glitched in a way that rendered the main quest unfinishable, and to go back to my last hard save seats me back enough that i'd essentially be starting over anyway.

Also, some loser on Facebook spoiled Father's identity to me, so enforcing method acting in that scene just got a lot harder. Seriously, this is a much more emotional main quest than anything I've seen Bethesda do before, so to have that spoiled is just a hateful thing.

Is it feasible to come over to where that jackass is IRL and stomp a mudhole in their groin? :V

It's better than looking at the achievements and figuring it out.

Still pretty well thought out.

Though somewhat expected

I actually know where the guy lives as the post was in a group made specifically for local gamers.
But driving a town and a half over is a bit extreme just to dish out some vengeance.

So I spoiled the ending to the new Star Wars as vengeance.

[Lumi Kløvstad]

Glad to see the old Bethesda staple of stealth characters utterly breaking the game is still present.

[Lumi Kløvstad]

I know I know. Necromancy and all that. But I'd rather not start a SECOND Megathread. Kind of defeats the purpose of having the first one in my book.

I just discovered something guys. Great enough that I dip into foul forbidden magics to resurrect a thread from the grave.
...Codsworth will totally call you Snake BY NAME if you register that as your character's name.

Sadly, "Belmont" is not one of the ones he recognizes.

He will recognize Plissken though, so you can totally model your character on Kurt Russel and be good to go for the new hit "Escape from Boston".

He will also recognize you as "Orgasmo" if that's your thing.
