Has anyone tried ghouls gun as a rifle?Is there any point to it?
waifus for this feel?
>>541322742No as far as I can tell
>>541322889sad but assumed as much.
Fallout 4 has terrible writing, art direction, quests, etc.But it's Bethesda's peak at actually being a video gameHaving your fingers on WASD+mouse is much more enjoyable in it than in Fallout 3 or New VegasThe movement feels better, the gunfights are more dynamicGoing back to the FO3 engine is agonizing in comparison, it's like trying to play Wolfenstein 3D after Quake
>>541323546I am a rare breed of autist that sucks so much at shooting that all shooters feel the same and I can only play fallout with vats
>>541323546>Fallout 4 has terrible writing, art direction, quests, etc.Art direction is Kino, and the writing is mid at worse. Slightly better then Fallout 3. Quests are fine also.
has the voiced protag been fully modded out yet so we can get some real quest mods like Skyrim?
>>541323546>Fallout 4 has terrible writing, art direction, quests, etc.That's every Bethesda game since Morrowind. People give Fallout 4 too much attention and criticism because it came after NV which is almost a perfect gameEven the writing and designs, two things that are most often criticised in Fallout 4 are way better than anything in Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Skyrim. Does assault rifle look stupid? Yes. Was there a good idea behind it? Yeah, it looks pretty good in PA hands
>>541324650>real quest mods like SkyrimlollmaoSkyrim trannies thinking they're some kind of pinnacle of modding will never cease to be amusing
>>541324984Skyrim quest modders trying to make Dark Souls looking fights always makes me laugh.
>>541324984lol lmao. Where's your quest mods for Fallout 4? Few and verrrry far between. Unlike Skyrim which is still going strong with full pages of new mods daily.
>>541325210Not him but Skyrim getting daily pages of shit isn't the dunk you think it is.
>>541325331>implying it's all shityou're totally arguing in good faith and not salty at all at the absolute state of Fallout modding
>>541323546After a couple of mods like diagonal sprinting/running, improved animations for shooting and relaoding, a recoil system, bullet ballistics, proper ragdolls and death animations and better gore the combat in NV feels MUCH better than 4 imo.
>>541325624No amount of janky mods will make NV feel as good as Fo4, let alone fo4 with mods
>>541325624>>541323546I predict the two of you will never find common ground.
Fallout 4 movement feels so floaty and weird in 3rd person. True Directional Movement port when?
My internet is out so I'm trying Fallout 2 again. I dropped it before.Can I finish the game with this character?
>>541325708I strongly disagree.>>541325712You are probably right.
>>541325574I still have more hours in Skyrim than in Fallout 4. And yes, 99% of Skyrim mods are complete trash, Fallout 4 also has its share of trash, but when it comes to really good mods, Fallout 4 may have a bit more of them.A lot of good mods for Skyrim simply add things that Fallout 4 already has in vanilla. Stuff like gore or locational damageAs for quest mods, Skyrim does indeed have way more but they are way worse. SS2, AR2, and 3dnpcs are far superior to anything Skyrim has to offer (yes, even 3dnpcs for Skyrim). Also it feels like Skyrim modders are just cursed, no one can record and tweak sound properly. Mods from 2013 for NV have better voice acting quality than anything for Skyrim.>>541326312Energy weapons basically don't exist in Fallout 1/2. Add more agility and don't take less than 5 strength, that's the minimum requirement for pistols. 3 Endurance literally borders on erectile dysfunction.
>new questline abruptly ends with the plot unresolvedare you fucking kidding me? we're doing Steel Dawn again?
>>541325624>After a couple of mods like breast implants, vaginoplasty, estrogen and facial feminization, sex with men feels MUCH better than with women imo
>>541326879Its not really unresolved. The Rust King really has no desire to go out and conquer West Virginia or anything. He's pretty content with this small area, and doesn't even really want to take over Highway Town.
The Rust King is even worse than Caesar with how he assumes you're going to be loyal to him even after you tell him over and over that you don't want to work for him
>>541326993kek
>>541326829>you can't take energy weapons and you can't lower your strengthWhat is the point of the character creator then? I'm gonna uninstall this again and play 3/NV.
>>541327015Which means that it's a plotline with zero stakes
>>541326312>>541326829An energy weapons run in Fallout 1 basically relies on abusing rng until you get an Alien blaster or running ahead to Necropolis for the plasma pistol in the sewerIt's been so long since I played 2, you can get a laser pistol pretty early can't you?Tagging energy weapons feels meta in both games because you're accepting increased early difficulty to not waste resources in Small Guns
>>541326312>>541326829energy weapons get really good at the end but small guns dominates all the way through and in fo2 the bozar is bugged to do ten trillion fucking damage also
>>541326993Sent that freak flying.
>>541327159>>541326879I still think about Steel Dawn sometimesThat it's one of the only moments in 76 that even attempts to have any nuance because Shin is an abrasive cunt but is factually correct about the FEV scientists being absolute psychos and Rahmani being a moron on a power tripI worry that this was by accident and the actual intent was just that Rahmani was the good guy and Shin was the evil guy
>>541327126You can use it only with penalties, just like NV. But yeah, character creation in Fallout 1/2 is really bad, you have almost no choice.>>541327286By the end of the game you have so many extra skill points that you can just bring it to 200% when you get the right gun, so there's no point in taking it at the beginning
God Bless AmericaGod Bless The Enclave
>>541326993I am an advocat for killing troons, so you can't use the troon card on me. I am also extremely racist.
>>541326879>>541327159>plot with zero stakessounds like a typical mmo to me
>>541328521Hugo's quest has distinct and meaningful endings because they know you'll never see those motherfuckers again
I suspect Burning Springs will get some sort of part 2 update next year. something on the smaller side, but that will continue the story.
What do you get for finding the Abraxo briefcases?
>>541330827A unqiue flamethrower weapon IIRC. Theres 150? or so on the map, but you only need to collect like half of them. Supposedly, if you collect all 150, you get an upgraded version
hmm today i will work on me modwhich probably means cleaning up dialogue options. and decorating a room
>>541332423what kind of mod is it?
Sooooo, Burning Springs kinda sucks
>>541332637some random stuff just to teach myself how modding works.-new perks-new weapons, armor, chems, ammo-new gear synergizes with new and vanilla perks-unmarked quest about finding treasure and following a trail of other dead adventurers-repairman npc involved in that quest who can also ‘upgrade’ some vanilla weapons to better, refurbished versions. can also ‘fix’ some of the ‘broken’ gear you find during the quest, but it’s more of a sidegrade/different playstyle sort of thing, like turning a melee weapon into a ranged weapon. -player home
Full auto feels good manhttps://files.catbox.moe/rucd1b.mp4
>>541334638pretty cool bro
>>541334859danks
>>541332746Its hilarious that the current season is so non existant they're shilling the next one on pts.I'm playing it now because live is dead as fuck but i'm not getting too invested in it since i'd need to do it all again on live anyway.It's vast yet empty.
what
1. If I don't care about most mods other than some power armor, graphics, and quality of life shit is F4 on PC stable enough? I heard it was completely fucked.2. For those of you that play, is 76 worth jumping into again? I last played....I think when the BoS was introduced? During the operations thing? Can't remember. But I see they added a fuckton of shit and are adding more. But is it all a massive grind still or can I get most of the new stuff relatively quickly compared to how fucking long it took to get all the gold shit. I'm just seriously jonesing for some fallout, so I wanna play 4 and once my faggot friends are done with Borderlands I'm gonna convince them to try 76.
>>541335853>they're shilling the next one on pts.???all I see is the same stuff as on live?
>>541322787nora>>5413384494 is probably the most stable bethesda game out of the box
>>541322787
Are there any mods or configs to make 76 look better? Visual clarity is smeared in jelly it feels like and the LOD sucks
>>541342848No, it barely works so they deliberately made the graphics worse.
>>541326879I wanted to fight the Rust King, see what all the fuss was about.Bonk.>>541338631Hows it going anon, haven't seen this character in a while.
I swear learning to use bodyslide/outfit studio is a game changer. I have so much power at my fingertips to change anything I want.pic semi related
>>541338631>>541338449If I come back now, what have I missed out on? Is there stuff that's no longer obtainable? What about all the pay piggy shit from 1st? Actually now I think about it, I have no idea, do they recycle old score rewards? Give them out in first or how does that work now?
>>541344706You really should have left it saying "nipple award" nonny
>>541343998hey not too bad, been back playing skyrim for the past couple months which has been fun and i just check in here from time to time while i'm not playing fallout. how's things?
>>541344706So much power, enough to rival gods.
>>541344706Yeah, it's nice. Outfit Studio can do way more than just outfits. I was also able to figure out the creation kit and xedit, but modifying textures and materials turned out to be too much for me. I was able to replace the texture and even create a new one for a unique variant of the gun but creating them myself was simply beyond me. I wanted to make a winter camo full auto version of one of Dak's guns, but it just didn't work out. At least it was an interesting experience.
>>541346096sex
This is still happening? Really?Surely there's a mod for it.
>>541347420Yeah it's called "stop using integrated and get a dedicated graphics card"
>>541328283based
>>541347826I'm sure my 2060 is perfectly capable.
>>541347420Restart the game. This is a typical bug for Bethesda games and there is no fix for it. Skyrim technically has a mod that fixes it but it just reloads Lods.
>>541348641Pretty sure unofficial patch fixes it
>>541326312Just go unarmed it requires 1 strength and is consistently overpowered as hell throughout the whole game
>>541348829No
>>541338631>4 is probably the most stable bethesda game out of the boxStarfield is far more stable. Fallout 4 is actually fucked due to issues with the next gen patch.
>>541348829Nope, I have it loaded.
>>541348887i forgot starfield existed lol you are correct
>>541345607> how's things?Not bad. PTS gave us a glimpse of why 76 hasn't had anything going on for the year, and the meh scoreboard has meant more time playing the final fantasy tactics remake.>>541346096Still impressive given all that power, and you make one of the most believable bodies.
>>541349153I really wonder if Todd and co are taking Starfield's failure to heart
I'm not going there, someone stole my glasses and I'm afraid I might not tell ghoul and human apart
>>541344746A lot of old stuff is unobtainable. They'll put random camp objects from old score rewards on the atom shop sometimes.They started putting new weapons or essential camp objects like a freezer that stores your food indefinitely on the scoreboards but those are always obtainable from grinding an absolute absurd amount of gold bullion. I missed some weapons myself and it sucks trying to get those now when they were basically handed out for free before
What do you want from new Fallout 4 update? It's basically confirmed that we'll get some update and Verified Creator Program like in Skyrim.
>>541349303>PTS gave us a glimpse of why 76 hasn't had anything going on for the yearsomething big? i've been out of the loop when it comes to 76 bigly>>541349307man i hope so. i've kinda given up having any kind of expectations from bethesda but i'd be lying if i said the 2 years of near silence from them didn't give me some hope that they've put their heads down to at least try and unfuck the game, at least the parts that can be unfucked
>>541349307Not him but, as fun as it is to clown on Starfield, the idea that its a failure is pretty baseless. Like-It was the top selling game of the month it came out-It was the 10th best selling game of the year-It was the third most profitable game on Steam in 2023. -By the end of 2023it had more play time, and a higher completion rate, then BG3, despite BG3 coming out over a month earlier.-It was Bethesda's biggest launch ever-For over a year after it came out it was on Xbox's most played games list, and usually above, Bethesda's other titles, and even other competitors like BG3, and CP2077-The game did so well Bethesda changed thier plans for DLC going forward, wanting to support not only Starfield, but future games, with yearly Far Harbor sized DLCs for as long as they can.-While Steam shows low player counts, this doesn't account for gamepass. And people on Plebbit have estimated, based on how counters on paid mods go up when people launch the game, there's still around 10,000 people or so playing Starfield dailyLike.... its ultra successful.
>>541350079How come nobody fucking talks about it on this website
>>541350009>something big?Ohio but it's just like two dozen locations on the edge of the map, not a full map
>>541350079it can be a success commercially but a failure as a bethesda game, which it is in the eyes of many people. i'm not a shareholder so i don't really care about sales
>>541350148Bruh, /v/ bring it up basically weekly with typical "WHAT WENT WRONG!" and "NOW THAT THE DUST HAS SETTLED!" threads.
>>541350489Yeah but where's the actual gameplay and story discussion. If someone brings it up on /v/ it's just ppl saying that it's dogshit. At least fallout 3 and 4 get loads of talk about revising the story
>>541350148It's not fun and no one plays it. At this point New Vegas has more players.
>>541350592>At least fallout 3 and 4 get loads of talk about revising the storyAll people talk about Fo3 and Fo4 in regards to story is how "bad" they are, the same thing they do for Starfield. For gameplay, that's probably the thing Starfield improved on the most.
>>541349536Four Eyes trait?Never picked it because it seems to be a dogshit deal outside of pure roleplaying.
>>541350079Scamming a bunch of people so they buy into something doesn't make it a success long-term.
There's something really funny to me how 76 youtubers kept hyping up that this content would be a massively cthulhu focused... nope, more deathclaws. Also really funny that it's because of the tv show, because it's just deathclaws my mans, they've been in the game since launch.
>>541264914they already retconned hellfire to be a pre-war invention, i don't see how this would be anything different>>541288228>attractive female figure>phallic, worm-like appendage entering the general area of a vagina
>>541350009>something big?Map expansion over near point pleasant, into Ohio.Some creatures and plants, another raider group and the removal of caravans for bounty hunts.and windy is a gold bullion vendor in the main town
>>541349656That is actually super annoying, I'm not looking for another grind or time sink after playing WoW religiously until Dragonflight. Maybe I'll just pass on 76 then. Has anyone ported any of the weapons monsters, or outfits into four?
>>541351087Anyone who things Bethesda will ever do a massive cultist storyline have missed everything Bethesda have said about the cultist stuff since Fallout 3. Its a side story, its meant to be a cool mystery, but not the focus of the game's story. Its like aliens, most we will ever see is events like Mothman Equinox, or the Zetan invasion.
*does literally nothing*
>>541350440>>541351349interesting, i hope it turns out gud>>541350890i loved the gameplay, music and the planet tech, plus the shipbuilding i think is universally praised (despite its issues). my biggest complaint after the repeating POIs is how they regressed back to standalone factions that have nothing to do with each other. it was the one thing from FO4 i was hoping they'd carry across
>>541351848I feel like this is a hint that the one BoS guy in the show who got regenerative properties after taking the syringe isn't becoming a ghoul, but actually a super mutant.TV show watchers have no idea what a super mutant is
The only case in which I would play Fallout 76 is if they completely remove the Atom Shop and make it possible to obtain absolutely everything in the game simply by playing like No Man's Sky.I really don't see why I should waste my time on such greedy game that could be shut down and abandoned at any moment.
>>541352164Thaddeus isn't going to appear or even be mentioned in the show again
>>541352009> it was the one thing from FO4 i was hoping they'd carry acrossI don't think they will do that for anything but Fallout games. That works in Fallout because Fallout is supposed to be a game about large factions fighting each other over petty reasons like land/resources. Elder Scrolls factions aren't really like that, so I wouldn't expect TES 6 to have like the fighters, Mages, and Thieves Guilds, and the DB, fighting each other. Same with Starfield's factions. Like, Ryujin has no reason to get involved with the Crimson Fleet or UC Vanguard or w/e.It also creates differences between games, so they don't all feel like clones of each other.
>>541352532What a brave and controversial take.
>>541352696>>541352532WE NEED TO BECOME BRAVER MEN
>>541352604yeah i don't expect it for TES since it's established, but i did hope for it in starfield just. my main problem with it is a hindsight one because of how starfield's NG+ is set up to give you the perfect in-universe reason to be able to do everything on the same character. but it's pointless because you can just join every faction in the same iteration anyway, and the choices have barely any effect on the world itself. they wasted the unity imo
One thing I noticed about the content creators and players of Fallout 76 is that they literally haven't played previous games. It makes me wonder why Bethesda is trying so hard to evoke nostalgia when by the looks of it most players haven't even played Fallout 4 let alone Fallout 3 and NV.
>>541351020Yep. I took it only for the RP. And this mod for it is great. https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/77356The trait is bad, my perception is 10 because of it, but I'm still blind as a bat without glasses lol. I thought of perception as more like noticing little details, pointing inconcistencies in people's stories, detecting lies, etc., not necessarily eyesightMy perception
>>541353515Cuz older assets look cool. who cares what game it came from
>>541352164>>541352534Wasn't there a S2 production shot of his actor getting getting into heavy latex makeup or am I just misremembering?
I love Boone. I'll be playing the game as usual and then look over to see Boone completely sperg out. Best (human) companion.
>>541356749He's angy
>>541356749>when you didn't kill any legion members for 5 minutes
here's ur local legend bwo
>>541358096Chinese stealth fish
If this game wasn't so poorly put together it'd be cool if they made Caravan playable against other playersKnowing Bethesda though they'd sell cards in the atom shop
All these years and I still don't know how to play caravan or blackjack
>>541358096I caught my first ever local legend the other dayIt was Wavy WillardI thought the game bugged out and rendered the wrong modelIt's like a joke that he's so tiny right? It's kinda funny>>541352164>TV show watchers have no idea what a super mutant isIt changed my entire view of the world when millions of people watching The Last of Us on HBO were shocked and angry that Joel died
>>541368561>blackjackCaravan I can understand but blackjack is so simple it's not even funny.
>"grrrr I'm a big badass, listen to my rumbling baritone">"I kill what i want when I want">sits on his throne and does nothing while acting like he's king shit of fuck mountain>keeps acting like I'm on his side after I've told him to fuck off six timesThe Rust King is fucking terribly written. He comes across like he's literally never stepped outside his throne room and Truman Show'd himself into thinking he's the ultimate badass
>>541323546>art directionFallout 4 has amazing art direction. It is one of the most beautiful looking games I've ever played.
>>541380401>fallout 4's art direction
>>541376979Isn’t that what they called brick in borderlands 2 before they reveal its actually him
>>541351848he is so cool
>You can now buy the TLC and Leather coat from vendors on the PTSI legitimately hate bethesda now. This game has made me hate bethesda.
>>541387635>the rare colored basball bats are now sold at vendors for less than 100 capsWHO IS ASKING FOR THIS BETHESDA?WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? CAN WE HAVE AN ANSWER? WHO IS MAKING YOU DO THIS?
>>541387869>>541387635Bethesda's been cracking down on tradeable "rare" items for years; see glowing masks and grolls. They even just made Enclave Plasma mod boxes much more attainable.
>>541387635>>541387869Sucks don't it? I know how it feels, but Reddit will clap that now EVERYONE gets to enjoy it

>>541322474Hi, is there a FO4 adult modding guide like there is for /tesg/?
>>541415135No, coomer mods for Fallout 4 suck.
>>541415135Check loverslab
>>541416074Thanks for the suggest. I already did but I didn't see any guide, and I'm a little scared because every mod has a dozen other dependencies and a few mutually exclusive mods. That's why I'm asking here.>>541415309I'd still like to try.
>>541416348It's just not worth it. Imo just install a body replacement, clothing mods to your liking and pose mods. That's the best there is for Fallout 4. All the actual porn mods for Fallout 4 are just awful, there's not even anything on the level of SOS for Skyrim
>>541322474I'm playing Far Harbor again. I love the Island so much.Fallout 4 may not be a great game, but I like a lot of the characters, and Far Harbor is a gem in my eyes.
>>541416870>run into legendary yao guai ghoul>nick gets downed>I can stimpack himI know that the robot repair kits are from Mechanist and so the game wouldn't really apply them here, but would earlier generation synths be capable of using Stimpacks?
76 lost
>>541416870DiMA could have been an amazing main villain if only Far Harbor was more fleshed out. He's definitely the best Fallout 4 character, feels like he escaped from a much better written game. Plus his design is fucking awesome. Unlike the very humanlike synthetics of the base game, his look feels a lot closer to the art design of the classic Fallout games.
>>541418063I did not like DiMA when I first met him in my last playthrough. It'd been a couple years since I played this game, so it may as well have been a new first impression.He was all high-and-mighty, asking questions of you he had no right of asking. Very holier-than-thou. And all of that being revealed as a facade was very cathartic.That is to say I like him as a villain as well.I liked that you could confront him and he could own up to it. And depending on your actions on the island the Harbormen would either support- or disagree with you and your decisions. It was a genuinely enjoyable experience.I look forward to playing this DLC anytime I start a new game now.I also love the giant hermit crabs (and frankly every creature on this island) but I have a soft spot for hermit crabs in general.
>>541418336I guess I should clarify because it might be getting lost in the void of text: I like that I did not like him at the beginning. I was immediately suspicious. He's written effectively.
wtf are there pigs in fallout now
>>541416870i love Longfellow and his settlement. very kino views to the dock and ocean.>>541417023nicks like a gen 2.5 close enough i guess bethesda rounds up
>>541419126I've been eternally annoyed that we have yet to see radhorses
>>541419321>radhorsesanon stop watching porn
>>541419405what?
>>541416870>Fallout 4 may not be a great gameI think Fallout 4 is a great game, just not a great RPG, which is what people were disappointed by.
>>541419456Don't act dumb. We all know you want horses so you can fuck them
>>541419710I've been so done in by people constantly complaining about the games I like that I've started preempting the things I like with disclaimers so they don't need to repeat "thing bad" at me.
>>541419796guy either played too much Red Dead or is a big fan of Mr Hands.
>>541419796I want horses for transport, just like how I want archery in these games because it'd be a renewable ranged weapon in the post-apocalypse.
>>541419710I would argue that Fallout 4 is a decent RPG, especially with mods like picrel. Its only drawback is the writing and even then I don't think it's as bad as everyone makes it out to be.Fallout 4 has actual factions and characters with real motivations and goals, which is already better than Skyrim, Oblivion, and Fallout 4.
>>541419710i remember naively believing it couldn't go any other way but forward and blow FNV out of the water when it comes to rpg mechanics, quest variation and quality as well as plot depth
>>541419970>Its only drawback is the writing and even then I don't think it's as bad as everyone makes it out to be.Yeah. I'm not gonna sit here and claim Fallout 4's writing is great by any measure, it isn't, but there's always been this weird, almost religious, need by some people to make Bethesda's writing out to be far worse then it actually is.The in famous "what do they eat!?" nonsense from Fallout 3, despite the game showing and telling us what they eat, and where they get it, and the "you wouldn't understand" meme from Fallout 4, despite the fact Shaun never actually says anything like that.
>>541420235Fallout 4 has some of my favourite quests in videogames in it. Some of them I find genuinely touching or funny.I went to do Vault 118 because it had a pair of goggles I wanted. I'd read a little bit about it being an unfinished vault and I figured it'd be empty.I get to the button, press E, and I hear a Mr. Handy over the speaker asking if I was the detective they'd hired, because there'd been a murder.Knowing that the vault was intended for rich fuckers I put my hands over my face, chuckled audibly, and said "oh my god the robot staff are doing a pretend murder mystery"I enter the vault, walk into the main room.Before me lies a sight that made me laugh out loud.A robobrain bot, knocked over, cracked dome.That quest was a lot of fun, too.
>>541420068Lets not pretend NV had amazing writing either. The game was full of plotholes, and nonsensical character actions. Most of the praise is from people clapping every time they see [Guns 49/50] skill checks in dialogue.
>>541420068NV really is the main reason for the hatred towards Fallout 4, it's just too good. Bethesda obviously tried and Fallout 4 has the most variety in quests of all their games for example, but it's still Bethesda.>>541420235‘you wouldn't understand’ comes from a failed skill check. But I still think that ‘what do they eat!?’ is a valid complaint, since water is literally one of the key plot points of the entire Fallout 3. It's the same shit as the stupid ending of Fallout 3. People wouldn't complain so much about having to sacrifice yourself if you were just separated from companion or the possibility of using a companion was simply not mentioned, but Bethesda really needed to point out the obvious plot hole with that muh destiny shit
>>541420589whatever, fallout 4's single biggest argument seems to be>FNV wasn't a story-telling masterpiece either
>find wolves at a red rockethaha
>>541420537>Vault 118this the one with the quest they ripped from autumn leaves mod?
>>541420682>‘you wouldn't understand’ comes from a failed skill check.No, I looked though Shaun's dialogue in both the CK, and on the wiki. He never utters that line.>But I still think that ‘what do they eat!?’ is a valid complaint, since water is literally one of the key plot points of the entire Fallout 3.Ehh. The game goes out of its way to show people making small water purifiers, and it being just barely enough to keep people alive but not "thrive" as Eden says over the radio. As for actual food-We see people raising Brahmin for food and milk across the wastelad(in fact, someone counted and there's more domesticated brahmin being used for farming in Fo3 then in Fo4)-We see people hunting things like Mirelurks, mole rats, giant ants, etc. etc. for food-We see people had set up a mirelurk farm and processing station under the Anchorage war memorial, which was only destroyed just recently-We can read about how Rivet city grows fresh food to trade with other settlements for scrap to repair the ship-We know mutfruit grows in the capital wasteland-We see trade with places like Point Lookout for stuff like Punga-We can visibly see trade caravans connecting most of the major settlemens in the region, explaining how supplies are carried around.
>>541421150I'm not familiar with the mod you're talking about, could you go into a little more detail?
>>541421150No, since autumn Leaves didn't make up that plot either. It was stolen from a fairly famous book.
>>541420068why would you ever expect that out of a bethesda game>>541420589>plotholes, and nonsensical character actionsnone of these matter whatsoever when it comes to rpg writing where the main engine is world reactivity and player agency
>>541421296I'd argue that choice and consequence, aka world reactivity and player agency, only have real value when the choices you make, and the consequences of those choices, have a logical and believable basis within the setting of the game world. Any retard can make up a quest with 100 different choices, and 100 different endings, when they don't have to make any of it make sense, or follow logic. That isn't good writing, or good game design, its just vapid padding to appease retards who don't care about what they're playing.
>>541421220it was a mod for FNV that featured a vault inhabited by robots and the central quest was a murder mystery you had to solve in that vault.it's regarded as one of the good/best dialogue based mods ever made
>>541421529yeah that sounds about right. It sucks that it got ripped off but I'll be sure to play the original when I finally bother installing Viva New Vegas
>>541421529>>541421628They start out similar but develop in completely different directions. And well autumn leaves is definitely better.
>>541421472FNV has excellent thematic throughline with the side quests and this is the main reason it's praised for, not sure who fed you this retarded take or you just played the game yourself and came to the conclusion independently in case you're the retarded one. If every narrative director could whip up a game where your choices have similar consequence as FNV and this was industry norm then FNV wouldn't be a special game among modern RPGs
>>541421824Most of the choices in NV had no real impact in the game itself though. All they do is a change a post game slideshow which games had been doing since the 90s.
>>541421954Your choices entirely change how you play the game. No other game lets you miss 70% of its content on 1 play through. Only one I can think of that comes close is age of decadence.
>>541422128>No other game lets you miss 70% of its content on 1 play throughThat's generally a fault of NV being poorly designed. Had Obsidian used their time better they could've actually given the Legion some real content, instead of it just blocking you off from like 70% of the game.
>>541422128Fallout 4 is not that different from it. It's harder to lose access to certain quests but it's still possible. I'm not sure if you noticed but the main quest in Fallout 4 is literally built on the same principle as NV.Kellogg = BennyDiamond City = New VegasMinutemen = Yes Man
>>541422354That's only faulty design if you view your RPG mechanics through the same data driven, ROI driven metrics AAA execs do where they refuse to let their devs design a game where content can be missed, which leads to every game being the same shit even if you play good or evil characters. Like take BG3 for example.
>>541422682Na, there's a difference between real C&C blocking you off from quest, and something even Obsidian admitted to, that they just didn't have the time to make a lot of legion content. No one said anything about doing everything in one playthrough. That's just you making things up to deflect.
>>541421296>why would you ever expect that out of a bethesda gameas i already mentioned i was rather naive back then.i had some doubts after playing skyrim, but not really knowing who is bethesda and how it operates i assumed they'd use a different design approach when producing fallout series games. i thought they'd learn from FNV's positive critical reception etc.
>>541422682You are rather comparing linear games and open-ended ones.And again, Fallout 4 fits your description of NV. You can easily miss most of the quests and each playthrough can be quite different.
>>541422618On a superficial level. Most open world games tend to have a degree of character motivation that connects every player character so they have some motivation to do X. I don't wanna start talking about FO4 but their world cohesion is much less than FNV but the world is still better designed than FO3. The problem is that the narrative loses the plot once you get to Diamond City and you're meant to start caring about Kellogg and hunting him down and Shaun. Meanwhile FNV just uses you getting to the strip as an introduction and tells you the world is your oyster, here are the main players go check them out.
>>541422962>i thought they'd learn from FNV's positive critical reception etc.Not him but, they did, both Fallout 4, and Starfield, offer more in the way of making choices during major questlines and side quests then Skyrim or Fo3 did.The way they do companions in those games was also obviously based on reception to NV's companions.
>>541422796I used the ability to miss content as an example of why FNV is special among modern RPGs. In FO4 you can at the same time be the leader of like all the factions and the raider boss as well. Entirely different design philosophies.>>541422982BG3 shouldn't be an "open-ended" game. It should have multiple playthrough potential but once you play through it once you've basically seen 95% of it.
I want to give TTW a go, should I stick to that installation guide or should I follow the Viva New Vegas modding guide first before installing TTW?
>>541423424>BG3 shouldn't be an "open-ended" game.should't be linear*
combat shotgun sniper rifle. I've had this joke idea for a while now and I hope it actually works.
>>541423058I see it as the opposite.NV's biggest issue is that it changes the traditional Fallout style opening used in Fallout 1/2/3/4/76(ish on that last one) where you start off as a person from an isolated community, sent out to help your family(biological or community) and get wrapped up in a larger plt that threatens your home. This narrative style works because it explains why the character, who starts off as a level 1 moron with no real skills, is so dedicated to exploring this hostile wasteland, full of horrible mutants.New Vegas on the other hand gives you no real reason to care about going after Benny besides idle curiosity, which isn't a great motivation(even Sawyer once said they should've allowed the player to just leave the Mojave via the Mojave outpost). And, once you get to Vegas, both the NCR and Legion just jump you, asking you do become their top guy, even though you can reach NV without doing anything of note. Which is made worse by the fact you have no reason to care about the war in the Mojave because you have no ties to the people, or the area.Going after Kellogg is a much more realistic, and stronger, motivation for the character in Fo4, since they need to do so to find their son, compared to NV where your motivation is literally just "I have to do this to beat the game, and that's it"
>>541423323seems like F4 companions were the only thing that was a noticable improvement over FNV>inb4 gunplay and graphical fidelityit's a basic prerequisite for games like this
>>541423424> In FO4 you can at the same time be the leader of like all the factionsExcept you can't become the leader of the BoS or Railroad, and, by the end of the MQ, you have to at least destroy the Institute, and/or destroy the Railroad and BoS. You literally cannot become leader of everything/do everything in one playthrough.
>>541423058>On a superficial levelNo, these games have literally the same world design. Fallout 4 is more on rails but denying their similarities is simply silly.>>541423424Yes, but it's impossible to achieve such variety in playthroughs without a proper open world. CRPGs like this are bound to be relatively linear, the best you can hope for is the same events but from a different perspective.Something like Rogue Trader or Pathfinder games would be a better example. You still visit the same places and have roughly the same goals, but the motives and details are completely different.>>541423878NV was not made by Bethesda, you should compare Fallout 4 with Skyrim and Fallout 3.
>>541423431yeah do that.also get yourself the mod "rebuild the capital" if you decide to play TTW
>>541423878>it's a basic prerequisite for games like this>looks at the RPG genre which, outside of a few titles has been largely stuck just copying BG2 for over 20 yearsIts really not in this line of games.
>>541423765>New Vegas on the other hand gives you no real reason to care about going after Benny besides idle curiosity, which isn't a great motivationRevenge against the man who shot you in the head and left you for dead, professional obligation to finish your job, and once you get the Vegas House makes you his right hand man and tells you to get the chip from Benny.
>>541423989>No, these games have literally the same world design. Fallout 4 is more on rails but denying their similarities is simply silly.i havent played fo4 in a while so i wont fight you too much on this, but i certainly don't agree it's "literally same world design". you can become a raider boss and still walk around your communities as accepted. in NV you straight up get shot on sight if you enter the strip as a legion faction member. >Yes, but it's impossible to achieve such variety in playthroughs without a proper open worldyou don't need an open world. you just need to design gameplay sections for different playthrough. i was really hoping i could ally with the squid-alien's human ruler puppet whose name i forgot in the story, but he just gets killed off since the story is just not interested, or isnt capable of creating junctions where players get to miss huge amounts of content. arguably the "open world" nature of bg3 is a culprit in this because open world tends to drain your resources more than it would to just create a good and evil player playthrough paths.also as a side, i think pathfinder at least kingmaker does this in the worst way possible since it has time limits and you can easily miss quests simply because a lot of them progress on their own ignoring what you are doing.
>>541424667>Revenge against the man who shot you in the head and left you for deadWhich just comes across are pure psychopath behavior since the wasteland is full of giant mutants, and in the middle of war. This is even less logical or relatable behavior then some guy going off into downtown Compton to get revenge on the gangs for shooting him would be. Everyone would look at that person and call them crazy.>professional obligation to finish your job, Professional obligation would've been to finish the job you were originally assigned. Not to take on the extra duty of becoming a one man murder machine. Like, if you're hired to deliver some food to someone's house, and someone shots you, and steals the food, the only professional obligation you have is to call the cops, since its the cops job to handle this sort of situation, not yours.>and once you get the Vegas House makes you his right hand man and tells you to get the chip from BennyWhich also doesn't make sense given that you can reach Vegas without actually DOING anything of note, or that requires any skills, so House making you his right hand makes little sense when he can just hire far better equipped mercs to do it for him.This unlike Fallout 4 where the factions only let you in because you actually DO something for them that showcases some basic worthwhile skills.
>>541324753Fallout 3's art direction was good though. It was graphically not as advanced as 4 of course, but it expressed a gritty feeling more authentic to the originals. After Adam Adamowicz died they went brighter and more colourful for 4.
>>541368561>blackjack1. Have Luck 9 or 102. Press W3. Repeat step 2 until you get kicked out
>>541424715>you can become a raider boss and still walk around your communities as acceptedIt's the same with NV, most cities simply forget any sins you commit after a while if your reputation with them isn't too low.>in NV you straight up get shot on sight if you enter the strip as a legion faction member.That's just wrong. Factions only care about their own reputation, so you can even help both Legion and NCR to a certain point and only become a target when you cross the line.>>541425091Now look at the actual Fallout 3, not its concept arts. It looks like a gray chunk of nothing. And besides Fallout 4 isn't particularly bright, it's autumnal and rusty.
Okay, so I had another look at why my infinite AP plasma gun wasn't working.Turns out they changed legendary perks too, so now I'm fully stacked on rejuvinators, and re-re-adjusted my perk cards.We're now back at near-infinite gatling plasma and I'm happy again.Very lucky I happened to have a stack of rejuvs in my stash because I couldn't be asked to run more runs of the raid, I'm done there, got all the titles all the shit, its DONE.
Also they completely removed the damage bonus from this card so now it's just cosmetic what even is the fucking point.
>>541425606definitely not how I remember it. in fo4 you can walk around as the leader of every faction and nothing really changes. in NV you walk around as legionnaire and half the game won't even talk to you.
>shoot trapper in the head with my sniper shotgun>he lives>goes flying>pic relatedhow the hell did I do that?
>>541426216You literally can't even become the leader of 2 of the 4 major factions in the game.
>>541415135AAF fucking manual on loverslab, works on both old gen and next gen. The only issue is you need to get AAF from a discord server
>>541426216Factions in Fallout 4 are mutually exclusive. The best you can hope for is to kill the Institute by siding with the Minutemen and be friends with the Brotherhood of Steel and Railroad but it requires a very specific order of quests
>>541426385what happens if you wear institute outfit around railroad NPCs?
>>541426598what changes if you walk around as the leader of BoS? nothing really. leader of the institute? nah whatever. raider overboss? whatever.walk around as a leagionnaire? red equals dead.
>>541426602Nothing but random dialogues because Fallout 4 doesn't have a disguise system and that's for the best. I never wear a disguise in NV because it has a good chance of completely ruining your character's reputation. This entire system is completely broken.>Put NCR disguise to kill the president>Did the job and took off the disguise>Game broke and now Legion thinks I'm their enemy forever
>>541426949The issue with disguise systems goes even beyond that. Like, your character can become so well known that NCR and Legion soldiers recognize your face on sight, even from a distance. But... the moment you put on armor, that doesn't even cover your face, they immediately forget who you are simply because it has the NCR or Legion logo on it. Like.... whut?
>>541427086ironically bugthesda's system of no witnesses is better
>>541426949but that's the thing. i want the world to feel like it's reacting to me doing things in the world.even fo2 had a basic version of this. become a raider? now the ncr wants to spank your butt. i want fo4 to do something similar to how nv handled playing as the evil guy. like just turn everyone hostile if i keep ignoring the devs, or something. nothing breaks my immersion faster than being the evil badguy but the world treats me like im doing a good guy playthrough.
>>541426938Anon, other factions become hostile towards you if you join one of the factions, it's the same as NCR/Legion.>>541427312Fallout 4 literally has this, you can provoke all factions except the Minutemen.
>>541427202Na, the system has a bug where like chickens could report crimes. But the witness system is a lot more functional.
>>541427416>you can provoke all factions except the Minutemen.You can even semi-piss off the Minutemen. If you join the raiders in Nuka world Preston says he wont work with you until the renounce them and leave,
>>541427416not really to the scope of NV. i was insittute in my playthru in 2015, i used x01 institute paint, but in the world that comes across as inconsequential, since you only have hostile enemy factions show up in like 1 or 2 quests or in form of some generic random encounter. you can walk around as scary big institute guy in goodneighbour or diamond city and its just whatever, game doesnt care so why would i?
>>541427312>>541427416I would also add that Fallout 4 is probably better than NV in this regard due to random encounters.Different factions have a bunch of different responses to your aggression, like BOS having heavy patrols and vertibird support or the Institute setting up ambushes with teleportation. Meanwhile NV is limited to one Legion/NCR assassination squad per game.>>541427958>you can walk around as scary big institute guy in goodneighbour or diamond city and its just whateverIt is exactly the same in NV.Your reputation and standing with NCR will have absolutely no effect on your relationship with Khans. Fallout 4 probably has even more reactivity in this regard because NPCs there have way more random lines that depend on your actions.
If you put on remnants armor in NV all of the NCR should be hostile desu
>>541419126We had pigrats in either fallout 1 or 2
RIP mr. pussy...
>>541430973That was planned until the developers realized it was a stupid idea and backpedaled on it
Fallout 4 bros are having a feast
>>541433692we never stopped
>>541434401There was a two-week drought without any interesting mods
>>541433692Dak sucks at outfits. Whatever happened to Niero?
>>541437381I like it and I doubt Dak worked on them. Nowadays each of his mods is made by 4-5 people.Niero sold out to Bethesda
>>541437896surprised they didn't go with a larger plate covering the entire torso and then the small one as a crotch piece
>>541438783...That would be just vanilla metal armor
>>541438937it bothers me intensely that you would have two pieces of metal connected by flaps in a single direction that barely cover your torso. it's like a fucked up bib
>>541439073It obviously doesn't even try to be realistic, but even then it mostly protects heart, lungs, spine and other vitals that you want to protect. It's not that different from a regular plate carrier regarding covered area.
So what city do you think we might visit after the Capital Wasteland update next year?If we use Atlantic city as a distance measure, Detroit, Charlotte, Atlanta, Nashville, and some of the other rust belt cities(Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Louisville) are all in range.
>>541442495End of service. You're crazy if you think F76 will get a full new map, the Ohio update only confirms this. I'd rather believe that they'll release new DLC for Fallout 4.
>>541411419whats his backstory
>>541443185I never said full new map. I'd assume more Atlantic City expedition like releases. Even still, there's like 4-5 places on the current map they can expand on.
>>541443675>I'd assume more Atlantic City expedition like releasesThen who cares
>>541444263>cutting out the entire 2nd half of the post.Cringe.Also, Atlantic City was fine. We don't need some 30+ location map for every place we go. Wouldn't make sense that we're spending that much time there anyways.
Can you actually side with Silas in Burning Springs? Or do you have to help Eugene out at the beginning?
>>541419970is that this S7 mod? does it really change the game in a meaningful way? I guess I'd like to try it but I don't see it playing well with MAIM/AN76/VAFS/Bastion and all the other shit I've got loaded into my mod stack.
>>541323546My problem with the art direction is that I often want to explore and enjoy the world, but I end up disappointed with how empty it is. The world design of Fallout 4 (for example) would work if the vaults JUST opened and people were still rebuilding, by now the world should be more than random disorganised raiders shooting at each other.
>>541420682It seems to me like Bethesda actually tried on everything but the main story. It just feels like an afterthought to me with how poorly fleshed out the factions are. I don't *hate* the story, but I've got most of my fun out of fo4 by just running around the world. Whenever I replay the game, I don't do it because I want to experience the story, I just end up enjoying finding the collectables and legendary weapons.
>>541447958>by now the world should be more than random disorganized raiders shooting at each other.This has never been the case. Fallout has always made it clear that, outside the NCR, its just raider tribes, cannibals, and mutants.
>>541446692I'll be honest I haven't played enough to give a definite answer. I played around with the beta version from Discord for a bit but even at a glance the current version has changed a lot. There are definitely some decisions that I really like and at least it was enjoyable for the short time that I played. But now I have to start over because of the new version And there are patches for those mods you mentioned
>>541449879very well, this is enough to convince me. pretty sure my current save is corrupted anyway.
>>541448991> It just feels like an afterthought to me with how poorly fleshed out the factions are.Not him but I'd honestly what to know what you felt was poorly fleshed out about the factions. If anything, Bethesda put the most effort into Fallout 4's factions then they did for almost any of their past games.
>>541449879I hate that we can't have this cool shit on the VR versionwe still don't have basic shit like XDI
NexusMods downloads shitting the bed atm? Speeds are so slow.
>didn't pick the dialogue option to ask the Mariner why she's so set on reinforcing the hull so much>I now am not privy to the fact that she's deathly illsad, but I do kind of like that they keep that information from you if you didn't ask at the opportune time. I still get to do her quests, but now without the added context of helping her fulfill her last requests.
>>541450773ìn other adventures of learning things from NPCs: Nick just told me about the CPG massacre.No fucking wonder everyone hates the Institute.
>>541450995its surprising how little that gets mentioned in comparison to the broken mask incident or university point, it's a significantly hostile action against the commonwealth at large.
>>541451582I didn't even know it existed until he just told me.
>>541451582The CPG happened around 100 years before Fallout 4 begins. Almost no one besides some ghouls were alive when it happened.
>>541451906sure I get that but Bethesda really downplays the potency of generational memory, that kind of thing would be spoken about among communities for a very long time. besides, the amount of ghouls in the commonwealth where that would be actual living memory is not insignificant.
>>5414503251. I think the institute is evil for the sake of being evil, with the leader being your son a lazy way for Bethesda to give you a reason to join them.2. I don't ever remember there being justification other than calling them "abominations" as to why the brotherhood hates synths so bad.3. There is apparently an internal struggle in the railroad about whether things like protectrons and the like should be treated similar to synths, and (from what I've seen) this is never elaborated upon again. My last problem is that they never elaborate much on the end goal for all these factions. Fallout 4 had a great opportunity with it's post game to show how these factions would govern the commonwealth, and nearly nothing changes at the end of their questlines. The minutemen are basically like yes man so I don't have any problem with them other than Preston "another settlement needs our help" Garvey.I'm open to my mind being changed though, I haven't played fo4 nearly as much as the other games. (I have about 110hrs total)
>>541453113>I don't ever remember there being justification other than calling them "abominations" as to why the brotherhood hates synths so bad.Literally play Fallout Tactics and Fallout 3. The BoS has had bad run ins with AI.> I think the institute is evil for the sake of being evil,The game does make it clear that a lot of what the Institute is blamed for wasn't their fault. Like the CPG is implied to have been collapsing before they even got involved, and the Broken Mask was an actual accident. Even some stuff like the FEV research was being kept hidden from even higher ups like Madison Li, and wasn't reflective of what the whole Institute wanted.>My last problem is that they never elaborate much on the end goal for all these factions. They do tell us this though-The Institute wants to remain underground, developing synths, and advancing science.-The BoS wants to purge all the raids, super mutants, synths, and feral ghouls, while retrieving all the uncollected tech, just like they did in the Capital Wasteland.-The Railroad wants to free the synths from the Institute, and then work toward keeping them safe from people on the surface-The Minutemen are just a mutual defense pact of settlements in the region. They aren't really an organization in the traditional sense, and thus has no unified goal.
getting back into modding was a mistake, im too autistic to pick which mod i want over another when they conflict and no patch exists or one does something really cool (open strip/freeside) but at the expense of literally every other mod that touches those areas
>>541454387You should understand that such mods are worthless and add absolutely nothing to the game. If you have even a slightly modern PC the loading time will be literally unnoticeable.
>>541454714i didnt mean to just mean those specific mods and yes, my computer is good enough to ignore load times but sometimes its just about the look of a certain thinglike the autism of it all to see a bunch of random roadblocks in freeside and all that
>>541453674>Literally play Fallout Tactics and Fallout 3. The BoS has had bad run ins with AI.Can you elaborate? I can imagine what you mean by Fo3 (Eden), but I have not played tactics.On a less related note, I wish you had more control over the factions. Using the institute as an example: the radio message you give out at the end to the commonwealth is kinda cool, but I wish you could more definitively decide try to get support from settlements and cities in the commonwealth. This goes for all factions by the way. I agree that all the factions do have goals, but nearly all of them seem basically unwilling to so much as make ANY attempt to get other on their side other than the brotherhood (which is the faction that I think should be refusing alliances the most). I think is a symptom of the world of Fallout 4 itself not having larger subfactions though. >The game does make it clear that a lot of what the Institute is blamed for wasn't their fault. Like the CPG is implied to have been collapsing before they even got involved, and the Broken Mask was an actual accident. Even some stuff like the FEV research was being kept hidden from even higher ups like Madison Li, and wasn't reflective of what the whole Institute wanted.I agree something like Broken Mask is an accident, but I think the institute should have atleast tried to fake apologise for stuff like this and the CPG massacre. Even if you think everyone in the wasteland is just cannon fodder, I'd assume you'd atleast want them to not hate you; it feels like they're just setting themselves up for the commonwealth to screw them, literally no one you meet in the commonwealth has even slightly positive views of them. On the FEV reasearch thing, I can see how not all the institute would agree with such a thing, but I can't see any justification in it. To me, it just makes them too mustache-twirlingly evil.
anyone want their back scratched?>>541426247if you have the sniper perk, it could be that. each projectile has a separate 15% chance to knockdown targets, so you'd have 8 chances per trigger pull.

>>541455495>Can you elaborate? I can imagine what you mean by Fo3 (Eden), but I have not played tactics.The main villain of Fallout Tactics was known as the Calculator, and artificial intelligence that was in Vault 0, which was supposed to be the master control Vault. It was originally designed to have large manufacturing capabilities, which included the ability to mass large hordes of machines to help people rebuild. However, The Calculator went haywire, and used it machine army to try to exterminate all human life, waging a massive war across the Midwest that was only stopped by the efforts of the Midwestern chapter of the Brotherhood.> but nearly all of them seem basically unwilling to so much as make ANY attempt to get other on their side other than the brotherhood (which is the faction that I think should be refusing alliances the most)Well the BoS in based on Lyons' Brotherhood from Fallout 3, and Lyons was open to Wastelanders joining, and helping the BoS. Maxson kept most of Lyons' ideals, though he did start collecting technology against which Lyons had abandoned, and became more slective about who they let in. But Lyons and Maxson knew how the BoS was dying out west due to its refusal to change, and accept help from others(which is what led to the BoS/NCR was.>but I think the institute should have atleast tried to fake apologise for stuff like this and the CPG massacre.The issue is that apologizing wouldn't have done anything. Broken Mask happened decades after the CPG, and by that point everyone on the surface believed the Institute to be behind every bad thing that went on. Why bother trying to apologize to people who are just going to consider it fake?>On the FEV reasearch thing, I can see how not all the institute would agree with such a thing, but I can't see any justification in itThe FEV research was being done to develop better strains of FEV for use in Gen 3 synths, since Gen 3's are made using FEV.
>>541455495NTA>tacticsit's kinda like wasteland i guess, the bos in tactics were originally iirc going to exterminate the remnants of the unity but their blimps get zapped out of the sky by a storm and they end up fighting raiders, beastlords, remnants of the master's army which proves to be pretty challenging for the bos, and eventually robots coming from a half brain half robot ai thing in a vault-- who will curbstomp the shit out of you if you don't get better weapons lol. and then it's a slugfest against the robots until you defeat their main brain ai thing

You know I wouldn't mind raids so much if they had ACTUAL FUCKING MATCHMAKING from the menuThe only way to get 4 stars and the best way to get resources by far and I just have to hope and pray I find a public team
>>541442495I plain don't know, we don't have any leaks past the Capital WastelandI do kinda agree with >>541444263 though, expeditions aren't terribly exciting.Skyline Valley may be empty, and is about to be even emptier when they remove caravans, but there's something to be said for getting a new region on the mapI just wish 76 wouldn't constantly disappoint me. From what I've heard of Ohio, it sounds alright, but they spent the entire year on this? Hell we aren't even getting the raid that was supposed to come with it. They just don't have the manpower to give 76 enough of a reason to make me want to regularly login.
>>541462052>Hell we aren't even getting the raid that was supposed to come with it.There was never a raid planned for it. There was some world boss thing, but that's probably a post launch update like Milepost Zero was for Skyline valley.>They just don't have the manpower to give 76 enough of a reason to make me want to regularly I find this funny since we know they have like three studios, and like 100+ people working on it.

>>541472234Oh, you're porting it. Are you the author of f76megapack or someone else who had all the necessary knowledge for the ports?
>>541472645no, I just port some basic stuff for fun. I gathered information and worked out my own workflow over time. I found an easy but slightly tedious way to upscale textures the other day, so I could make them look a bit better since 76 uses lower resolution textures.
>>541472645there's a megapack of f76 ports?
>>541469839does it even have dual wielding?
>>541474309It's in OP. It was never finished but it has an impressive level of autism. Custom textures, leveled lists, food recipes, random objects, items, and plants all over the map

>>541322474I wonder what China in the Fallout Universe is like. Modern day post-Amazon show Bethesda fallout probably would never do it. But I imagine that if Fallout's America is a world where the 1950s never ended. Fallout's China would be a nation where the Cultural Revolution never ended. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiUzY7JJzeQ
>>541480413>you feel a little woozy
>>541480598I want to imagine that Asia and Europe are doing fine after the apocalypse and only the US has fallen into complete ruin.
>>541481470>>541480413That damn Cazador venom fucked up a whole playthrough for me. How the hell was I supposed to know there wasn't a doctor who could cure Cazador venom at that NCR camp?
>>541480598truth is we'll never get so see a remotely plausible or realistic fallout set in china.for that you'd need a mainland chinese dev team that could turn all the cultural peculiarities, references, historical insinuations and such into a sort of satirized alternative universe. something that might be impractical, if not outright impossible with the CCP.the FOLON guys made it for england and showed just how far removed it was from the established norms of the well-established american backdrop.people playing the mod have been mentioning how it both definitely felt like a fallout game, but at the same time was distinctive enough to be its own thing
>>541481924it would play into the idea that the US nuked themselves (or Vault-Tec did it)
>>541482629>China, Europe, and Russia when US just nuked itself out of nowhere and started cosplaying Mad Max

>boat vanished during the Red Death mission>I now can't finish the DLCwell fuck me
>>541483512>Russiaprobably collapsed in the fallout universe without a single nuke detonating in it.whenever russia gets mentioned in any fallout related discussion it always reminds me of that anecdote that supposedly occured when one of the creative leads was talking to some russian colleague on the phone during the development of the first fallout game when he suddenly heard muffled shots being fired off in the background.when he asked what it was the russian answered almost nonchalantly: "it's the russian mafia shooting somewhere in the streets".supposedly that was when he realized post-soviet russia would not make a plausible geopolitical opponent for their fictional america and they went with a powerful china instead.but realistically it's safe to assume other factors also played a role in that decision, one of them being the need to avoid boring caricatures of the russian boogeyman, seeing as how the relations warmed up after the iron curtain drop
>>541486186Russia's place in the Fallout lore is a bit unclear. China has taken its spot as the big bad guy but Russia is still important enough to have its envoys in the Vault
>>541481924>>541482629Realistically they probably would've avoided the nukes almost entirely, but that'd come with its own set of problemsFirst of all the global supply chain vanished in a couple of hours so while European governments are still fully-functioning, they'd have to deal with shortages of everything.And just because they weren't hit doesn't mean that nuclear winter wouldn't affect them. Also the air and water is very much poison. Think of how irradiated the entire fucking ocean is in Fallout 4 210 years later, that's still a problem for Europe. Disease would be rampant and medical supplies scarce.Maybe they weren't hit by nukes, but maybe in some regards that makes things worse. In the Mad Max world that America would've been, you can fight for whatever supplies you need or die trying. There'd still be just enough civilization in Europe that you'd instead be waiting in food lines begging the government for a crumb of food, Threads style.
>>541486938You will still have a fully functioning government and most of the population alive which is already miles better than US. I imagine people will live quite normally since the infrastructure remains completely intact.
>>541487270which is why it's not plausible for the fallout universe since there'd be expeditionary forces sonstantly shipping over from europe to check out irradiated mutts.more plausible for europe to also be glassed since it's either perceived as american ally or got itself on china's bad side in one way or another during the resource war years
>>541482629>>541483512>>541481924>the usa le nuked itself, this is lore!The shittiest most delusional leftoid schizophrenic headcanon, from tankies and slav subhumans
>>541488176Nah, it's new Bethesda lore
>>541488297its not.Slavs are retards
>>541488346Sorry to disappoint you but US blowing itself up is the new canon thanks to the show. And before you start denying it, it was made in collaboration with Bethesda and Emil and will be mentioned in Fallout 5.
>>541488616No it isn't you tiny iq retard. The show just floats the idea someone at vault tech considered it. That doesn't equal "the usa nuked itself" and "there was no war" and "everyone else is fine"Thats just straight up headcanon seething by you retarded communist homosexuals.Thats not Fallout at all, that's just your butthurt russian beliefs

I don't like Bethesda expanding pre-war politics, I just think about random things that have no place in the series.>>541489434Chinese is complicated unlike English.
>>541489927No you are a complete retard, The ghouls wife just floats the suggestion. That doesnt mean it happened.The 2nd game's intro explicitly says most of the world is deadYouarenota fanof Falloutfull stop
>>541488176I said that it would play into the idea, not that it's actually true.
>>541490721No, what it is is them canonising one of the conspiracy theories in the setting but it just indicates that many people were thinking of doing something like thatTaking that to mean that it definitely is what happened is a total retcon of everything FalloutAnd the reddit brained communist headcanon over fanfic headcanons bring true is just wrong, we have an explanation and its the Sino-american war.
>>541490971this statement, though relatively short, feels impenetrable.
vault tec did the nuke isnt even an in setting conspiracy, its literally a fan theory. They just put it in the show
>>541492182“Hire fans” people when fans are hired and they put fan theories in

I finished porting the dragonclaw gauntlet. I spent a long time adjusting the positioning and shape of the mesh so everything was positioned properly and to minimize clipping while still matching the hand placement of the vanilla deathclaw gauntlet. I also included the breathing mask, as a special Big Guy Bonus™. you can craft them both at the chemistry station, under utility. I didn't add any perk requirements to their recipes so anyone could craft them, given you have the components.since the gauntlet can't be modded, I set its damage to 35 and added the melee bleed effect to it. this is 1.4x the damage of the standard deathclaw gauntlet, whereas a modded deathclaw gauntlet has 31.25 damage with a 25% chance to disarm. additionally, given how much larger this gauntlet is, I bumped the reach from 0.8 to 0.9. I feel like these changes make it an alternative to the vanilla deathclaw gauntlet without completely overshadowing it.I was going to include the duster, too, but weight painting is incredibly tedious and time consuming, even to people who have more experience doing it, and the outfit looks ridiculous without it any time you move around. I hate cloth bones so much, it's unreal. as usual with ports, don't upload it to nexus, it's against their rules and you'll risk getting banned. have fun.https://mega.nz/file/d5VQELzJkey: lbULUf4oE287eidM3-EGdX9NJ8z3bGWogBM1ve-UOZwhttps://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/881567e316c88a2850b037b85d1d88de4b1a269b1a7741ffc29144d0e21f5e79/details

I do not want fallout 76 to visit washington dc unless they remodel or port the exact buildings from fallout 3 into it, I really don't want fallout 4's ugly futuristic buildings to retcon fallout 3's futuristic art deco buildings

Hi, I've just finished setting up TTW for the first time. During the intro quest Dad has the pink missing texture face. I understand that Archive Invalidation usually solves that and that it is automatic by default with MO2. Also, I haven't installed any body replacers or custom races. Any clues on how can I fix it?
>>541524451Try turning the invalidation off and back on manually. I use NMM for that but maybe mo2 has the option too? A tick or something
>>541527481I've tried but no luck so far. Many NPCs also have pink head syndrome. MO2 supposedly updates it automatically but I wonder if something's not working with that
Anybody have any tips for a pvp build?
>>541431695I gave her some caps for a good time. I guess she doesn't like doing the kinky linky with ghoul chads.
>>541528167and now, it's time to rip some ass.
>>541527481Managed to solve it. I had to edit not just FalloutCustom,ini but also the main one. For whatever reason Archive Invalidation was not happening automatically. I can't believe this took me 3 hours

>>541551258good to know, thanks. I had to uninstall the F4NV .44 magnum and dak's auto revolver because of the animations bouncing around so much, it was giving me motion sickness.
Fallout 4 has terrible writing, art direction, quests, etc.But it's Bethesda's peak at actually being a video gameHaving your fingers on WASD+mouse is much more enjoyable in it than in Fallout 3 or New VegasThe movement feels better, the gunfights are more dynamicGoing back to the FO3 engine is agonizing in comparison, it's like trying to play Wolfenstein 3D after QuakeNew Vegas fags are like people jerking off to Earthbound
>>541515558No prob anon, enjoy. There is a version of this for the player character as wellhttps://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/89185
>>541551829I don't think anyone will argue with you here about that. I love NV for the story and characters, the gameplay is tolerable and I'm pretty much used to it. But even going from NV to 3 sucks. It's crazy how janky and stinky 3 is.

>>541573847No, proxvoip only. They bank on people being more afraid to say stupid shit with their voice than typing it out, it's also one less avenue of moderation they have to hire for (that is to say, they just automate it)
>>541565161I love these late 90s/early 2000s "sexy woman" renders. I have great nostalgia for the Lara Croft ones.

>>541575032You do nothing, most people don't even interact, or yeah use an emote. I know what you're getting at but there are stock emotes. Doesn't excuse the stupidity but it's there.

Fellow falloutbros, I'm afraid I'm addicted to penis and Fallout 76, how do I cure this affliction?
>>541592353Even the main quest plays like another piece of MMO trash and I find it difficult to call it a proper game.>>541592593kys
with how cheap 76 is, and how often it's been given out for literal pennies on the dollar, it's worth trying if you like fallout. Is it a great game you'll dump thousands of hours into? probably not, will you get a solid 6-10 hours of enjoyment from it going through the story and getting up to and probably a bit past 50? almost certainly. I'm pretty sure keys are still floating around for the windows store version for like $1 or $2 when twitch gave it away.
>>541593907I don't understand how you can enjoy Fallout 76 at all. I got it for free and still felt scammed. It just feels bad to move and shoot because Bethesda's servers and engine can't handle this game.
>>541595414Because I got it for "free", and it was an enjoyable enough experience once I got out of the first like 5 questlines and I got more than just pipe shit to use.A lot of the "fun" definitely comes from endgame where you just make batshit broken builds and oneshot everything, though.
everyone around me keeps dying, huh.
>>541595595>A lot of the "fun" definitely comes from endgame where you just make batshit broken builds and oneshot everything, though.There is a certain other MMO title that falls into this category, but it's free, has better gameplay, more frequent updates, and is far less greedy. What I'm getting at is that the ideas behind Fallout 76 may be good, but the implementation is simply awful. I love building things, but there's literally no reason to play Fallout 76 for that when Fallout 4 is right there and you don't have to pay $10 for a new table. Social stuff? For god's sake Fallout 76 doesn't even have a chat. Meanwhile you have something like Rust where you can draw dicks all over the neighbour's house. Fallout 76 tries to be a bunch of different things and does everything poorly. The only value it has is being Fallout, and even that is gradually disappearing because everything is being ported to NV and F4.
>double the damage of the regular ripper, with double the reachI will rip ass, with even greater efficiency, in your honor, Paladin Rhombus. time to kill some mutants.
>>541589490No. I come back for every update and wonder how they manage to always under deliver. Here is a greasy nigger for your troubles.
>>541596692oops, I forgot my image
>>541596896lol is this game fun?
>>541595414>>541595595Is it still possible to get it for free somehow? They don't deserve my 1 dollar
>>541598163No, these ‘free’ versions were simply limited-time giveaways and ‘physical’ copies that came bundled with random stuff
>>541598163No, they do free weekends usually around new updates (so probably expect one in december when the show's 2nd season drops + the update), but the full game for free hasn't been a thing for many years. Lots of rumors about it happening now that MS is killing xbox, it's already set up to be one just fine with the mtx and subscription and, well, yeah.
after like an in-game month it FINALLY spawned inworth it tho, i love wood furniture>>541589826modded first, vanilla neverhttps://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/26081in case you don't want to install TTW>>541597098are you playing for the first time anon
I tried to do some EN06 grinding with people but I don't understand why people do it. You get barely any XP compared to actually doing the damn raid. Took me an hour to get like 5 levels, I'd get like 10 levels in half an hour just by doing the whole thingIs it just that people hate stage 2 so much?
>>541601284Is there a /fog/ approved TTW modlist? not that anon, but I've wanted to try TTW for a while and my yearly playthrough is coming up for my birthday so might as well crack it.
>>541322474Never noticed before how legion soliders around the map are actually not hostile to you if your rep doesn't sink too low right away. They don't attack random people for no reason. Guess that's what makes them morally gray
>>541598127it's a basic top-down dungeon crawler but I'm enjoying it. it doesn't take itself seriously and some of the dialogue options so far were surprisingly crude, which is a refreshing change. you can tell they were having fun designing everything from a 16-year old's perspective of "you know what would be cool? let's add it to the game." it's a very "hardcore" early 2000's kind of game.>>541601284>are you playing for the first time anonyeah, I downloaded PCSX2 last week to play through Ratchet & Clank again, then decided to download some games I missed out on as a teenager. I figured Fallout BoS would be a good next choice.
>>541576796people like 76 that much? Isn't it basically just shit pass slop to play for free?
>>541612038Seventy shits players have psychological damage
Are these guys lost? I've never seen them outside the Strip.
>>541615461man this makes me want to play borderlands 1
>>541615949There's a transformer nearby fenced in, they're protecting the electricity or whatever iirc but they might be getting lured out by the bandits nearby
do you guys ever post pretty female characters with big boobs here?
>>541616638ask the fallout 4 ppl.
>>541616870I was but they never post anything
>>541616297Oh, right, they were shooting some random fiends there. Justice prevailed.
>>541618010 see>>541338631
>>541618473that's all you got?
>>541618535its a slow weeklast thread had some good ones
not enough fran posting
>>541618747I went back and saw like 2 or 3 player characters and a bunch of fan art
>>541616638yes
>>541574435Back when comics were dumb fun
Fallout is a series that is anti capitalist and very much correlates to the real world. The phenomenon described in the TV show (the ruling class prioritizing profit over people or sustainability) is just capitalism. You cannot manage or control capitalism as it is not sustainable by nature, in order for capitalism to work it must continue to grow indefinitely until it eventually cannot. The government in Fallout tried, but as you know it failed. It will fail in real life too.
>>541615461sweet buggy
Take the red HUD pill
>>541624431jesus christ.
>>541624431too bright
>>541603441Morally gray?The bulk of their citizens are made up of tribals either working as soldiers or as slaves.There's not much morally gray about that. They're straight up slavers.
>>541624431Stormtrooper tier and I don't mean Star Wars
>>541523790Precombine/previs system say nothere's a reason there's not much in the way of city overhauls, because it's a massive pain in the ass in FO4 to do anything with the world
>>541619928I'm just putting this out there for the record that I saw an ad in the back of a DC comic the other day that was advertising their set of cheesecake swimsuit covers for this year, so. It's not like this kinda thing is totally gone, is all I'm saying. And there's games with big tits and skimpy outfits, it's just the big name ones trying to maximize appeal that sand off those edges. I'm not saying this to say you're wrong, I'm trying to present a bit more optimism, is all.
best enb for FO4?
>>541629942The one you like
>>541616638ain't many waifufags round these parts
and what a blessing that is
Does anyone know how to get rid this black rectangle when firing a gun?I'm not sure it's vanilla or modded behavior when used in conjunction with ENB because it's 3 years old modlist, and I've just returned recently.
>>541635828does it disappear when you turn off enb?does it appear for other guns?
>>541636038I'm such an idiot not testing out things before asking.It only happens to specific modded weapons like in the picture, ENB or no ENB. Can this be fixed as simple as record edit?
>>541633598cute nora. post more
>>541636603not too familiar with how modded weapons are set up i'm afraid but i would check the mod pages for the affected ones first in case someone else has had the same issue. then i'd probably try and compare it with something that doesn't have the issue, looks like the modded ones have some extra particle effect that's not rendering right for you>>541638042thx will do, just got old stuff tho
>>541586219The steam version of fallout 3 doesn't work on most computers anymore
>>541638138Think I fixed it by removing two of three muzzle fx mod I somehow installed, thanks.
>>541640037
>>541641304Outstanding.
>think about playing fallout 4>thought crashes to desktop
>>541616638No
>>541645265>missing master irl
>>541638116The new content that's coming is really trying to be New Vegas. Some of it plays well but most of it feels forced. The lady who calls you in a distress signal sucks at acting and makes it obvious that she is working with the raiders way before you have a real conversation, then her boss says that she is "highly skilled" at subversion. Makes me think the writers are writing for 4th grade reading level fags.
doing the vault 81 quest now. I knew there was something to do in this vault and I'm enjoying just exploring this part.I've considered doing more quests without enabling the quest marker.
>>541656131>lady who calls you in a distress signal sucks at acting and makes it obvious that she is working with the raidersWorst part is you can't immediately call her out and the dialogue option that is there that acknowledges her behavior isn't direct enough to do anything. Getting knocked out as a result of her obvious trap doesn't feel good.
>>541656394is it your first playthrough?
>>541658127no I first pirated this game when it came out, played it a bunch, but didn't do much of the side content.Couple of years after I tried again, didn't really enjoy myself as much.I bought a gaming laptop that came with a code for the GOTY edition for free, spent years not playing until this year when I decided I wanted to do some sniping and I recalled this game being pretty good for it.I'm now also doing all of the side content I can find. I knew Curie was in Vault 81 from other people talking about her, but I never went and got her myself. She's currently replaced Nick because I want to do her personal quest.
>>541658393very nice. it's a fun game when you give it a chance and get a setup you like. i always look forward to playing through it again, pretty much yearly at this point
>>541659165I see now why people like her. Curie is fucking adorable
>>541658393Don't neglect installing the appropiate stability mods including potentially buffout, that or https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/44798 at least because those loading screens are all fake.
>>541659383Anyone got more Curie Pics?
>>541659908I followed TMR in the OP when I setup my basic modlist a couple weeks ago. I've just been adding a couple of things like weapons and armour since.I started out with a levelup overhaul, too.
>>541660147i always do a custom curie since i cant into followers in fo4 like skyrim with them being more fleshed out here. easier to headcanon her looking like anything too. best girl
>>541620049Wow, thanks second-largest corporation in the world.
does fallout 4 have good enb? what do the high end presets look like?
Trying out Reactor ENB and NAC X at the minute. The night-vision is blindingly bright and I don't know what to change to fix it.I played around in the ENBEffect.fx dropdown menu but it changes nothing.
What they're doing on the PTS is unreal, first they created the greatest stealth archer experience in Bethesda history, now they're created the best level design and encounters. You must see it to believe.
>>541664332wtf is pts
>>541664332the new ohio republic
>>541664332what was the stealth archer experience? i need to get back into 76 some day, i've missed a lot>>541664483public test server
>>541664734They developed new parks that turn your bow into an AOE on hit weapon that causes massive damage and can overpenetrate enemies so you can line up two for one kills, even three for one, or more. It applies to throwing weapons too so you can mass poison a whole bunch at once without breaking stealth, and you can actually sneak in combat now.
Meeting intro ranger guy, we had matching outfits. Can't tell if he was happy or not.https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/54986>>541664734Mama Murphy dealing something other than drugs for once

Keep seeing these. What does it mean?
>>541666827damn that sounds pretty fun>>541668091it's all fuel for her addiction. the house always wins>>541669345nuclear winter was a battle royale game mode a good while ago. people enjoyed it and want them to rerun it
>>541322474What are the best mods to put on the Laser Carbine?
>Highway Town>Named NPC venders>cant talk with themWhy?
This guy is giving off Kellogg vibes.
>>541673184cool clothes, i'm glad they are modelling new outfits instead of reusing 4's which looks out of place in appalachia
>>541673439its not entirely new
I think this guy is trying to convey a message but Im not sure what.
>>541675959hmm...
>>541675959>>541676223what's the point when bethesad does their own thing
>>541615461The cars mod is so cool. It seemed to permabreak companions in my game though, never figured out how to fix it.
>>541669345Those chandeliers are Nuclear Winter exclusive, at least they will be until the next patch apparently.I miss it so much, but at some point you gotta accept Bethesda really does not care.
What is /fog/s take on the new update?
>>541674595dang, does betheda really want me to believe fallout's clothes stayed the same 100+ years after the great war
>>541676410this is sadly very true. Beth have the worst audience relations and it seems deliberate
>>541681708>Beth have the worst audience relationsI wouldn't listen to Fallout fans either, most are frothing at the mouth insane, screaming about "New Vegas 2"
>New Vegas 2The Burning Springs is Todd's stopgap for a New Vegas 2. It's a step in the right direction but still shit.
>>541680005See >>541582325

At least that drug fueled tear I went on through the Mall was a lot of fun. Always a good time to third party on Talon Company/Super Mutant firefights
I've just spent an unreasonable amount of time and resources putting together the Red Rocket Motel at the South End Red Rocket.I ran out of cloth and rubber so I haven't fully furnished or powered it yet.
