Spring will be "hideouts", basically mini raids
There was a Q&A with the developers
>Could more currently restricted areas become available for C.A.M.P. building?
Possibly. A lot of those locations are blocked off for performance reasons. We have been reevaluating the cost of C.A.M.P. assets and the spaces that non-buildable areas occupy to see if there is room to skirt that. I wouldn’t promise anything

Building on the Ohio River never ever
>How large is the Raven Rock expansion compared with Skyline Valley or Burning Springs? Will it cover the whole Fallout 3 map?
So what players get is a look at the Capital Wasteland at that time, a couple of hundred years before Fallout 3. That said, downtown D.C. is too dangerous for players to go to. You’ll be able to get real close, but you’re not going to be able to quite get there.
Players are going to see a lot of familiar locations from Fallout 3. Megaton comes to mind
As far as the size of the region, I would say the size of the region is comparable to or larger than Burning Springs

Huh? We'll get to go to Megaton? How exactly are they gonna cram all this into the map? I kinda just figured it'd be the small area near Raven Rock and the surrounding satellite arrays maybe
>Will Raven Rock have more environmental hazards?
There are going to be some new mechanics, which I will not detail here, but there will be new mechanics specific to this region in regard to the state that it currently is. And they will dictate gameplay in some ways, with considerations that players have to make when they’re exploring that really highlight the toxicity and the danger of this area right after the bombs dropped.

100% a temperature mechanic with it being cold

>Is Raven Rock an Expedition or an open region?
it is not an Expedition. There are no loading screens to get into the Capital Wasteland. It is a part of the map.
>Will Raven Rock have exterior and interior locations?
It takes place on the open map, so a large part of it is the exterior cells, because you’re out on the map with everything else. It’ll have a lot of interior cells, too. A lot of these locations that we’re able to go into in Fallout 3, and some new ones that players are going to discover. So, best of both, I suppose.

Give me Rockopolis
>Will Raven Rock have only one entry point, as Burning Springs does?
Mostly open. Depends on how good at rock climbing you are. There will not be, like how Burning Springs has that swath of land by the Ohio River that you can’t cross, there’s nothing like that, which we have plans to address, by the way. It’s a nice, organic transition into the Capital Wasteland.

Ok maybe the Ohio River might actually happen??? Please?
>Might the team revisit and expand The Pitt or other Expeditions?
We do want to go back in there and do some things and make it better and add some rewards and things like that to it. That’s certainly on our roadmap for future expansion. We’ve definitely heard players complain to us openly about not continuing on with some of the content that we built in the past
What we’ve discovered over the years is that our players really like being able to stay on the larger map, on the Appalachian map
Looking back, we would love to find another way for players to experience these Expeditions. Whether that means maybe going through and streamlining some of the experience, new rewards, and possibly offering them in limited periods, could be one way. We’re discussing it. Perhaps more stories and lore behind it would go a long way.

I'm telling you they're gonna cut expeditions and turn it into pic related

>Could players become Super Mutants?
Playable Ghouls came about. It was something that we had discussed for a while, and it was something that we finally decided to move towards because we could see a niche in the gameplay that being a Ghoul could fulfill. So when I’m posed with the idea for a playable Super Mutant, my first thought is always, well, what’s the gameplay benefit? I’m sure there is one, and it mostly comes back as, well, you could be a tank. It’s like, well, sure, you could be a tank now. You put on Power Armor. There’s so much value in just the role-play aspect of it, too. Even just looking like a Ghoul, players found a lot of value in. So I know players would enjoy being a Super Mutant. I, for one, would love to be a Super Mutant. I’d really want to give a very meaningful gameplay experience to those people, too. So it’s a fun idea, and one I’ll certainly be thinking about quite a bit.

So that's a no then. Damnit, I kinda had hopes they were leading towards that with how super mutants will be a big deal in season 3 of the show. They should've just had super mutants be the tanky class, not give ghouls a second health bar

Finally pic related might be the map we're looking at for the expansion. Weird to just call it "Raven Rock" when we're apparently getting half of the Capital Wasteland. It's a lot more than I expected

>>582907062
I'm curious on how raven rock is meant to be a prequel to 3 since I kinda... don't believe them. Like yeah man, can't wait to find out the 76 protag installed eden to power or some shit that's not gonna be relevant for 200 years. 76 is already a prequel since that's how the passage of time works.

*hits blunt* We're gonna find some frozen vat people like in the tv show and one of the tubes will contain a character named james... turns out the parents in fallout 3 we're actually pre-war enclave people and that's why your dad was smarter then every single person in the wasteland!

>needs a hard to farm item bullshit
About that...
You need leads to activate hideouts
You can get easy leads from safes and standard daily quests
Medium leads have a 20% chance to drop from public events, 50% from infestations, and 75% chance from head hunts
Those are the only types that drop

Then you have to craft the leads up
Turn 3 easy leads and 300 caps into one medium
Turn 3 medium leads and 1000 caps into one hard
Turn 3 hard leads, 5000 caps, and 3 of something called "drifter intel" into a Marked lead

Hard leads have a chance to summon the drifter, marked leads are guaranteed

Also they're gonna make some kind of hard version of the gleaming depths that requires an item to activate

can't wait for them to drop comparable loot to some world quest, whilst the raid is still unmatched in shitting out chems, serums, mods including 4star, EXP, nuked materials, the power creep PA set, bobbleheads/mags, etc - whilst being infinitely farmable.

sorry i don't even know what i'm whining about anymore, i just wish things were distributed a bit better with the raid vs. everything else. i've gotten the same ~4 dupe rewards from Daily Ops for an entire month.

I'm thinking Mutants, right?

Armor or weapon? Armor its lucid and weapon the best ones are two shot, furious and juggernauts i guess if you can hit the max for it.

Armor, but I'm a feral ghoul
For my weapon (The Gauntlet) I've been using Mutants/Rapid/Strength/Icemans because I found it does more damage than having Furious+Pounders

Is melee even viable for infestations? I remember not having an issue back when I did head hunts but I've heard they've changed some things around

Honestly based off what they said about Raven Rock being to the Southeast, I think this is the only way they'll be able to do it.
While it's supposed to be next to Harper's Ferry, there simply isn't any room because of the width

>Is melee even viable for infestations?
yes, if you're already a feral ghoul grab power armor, the power attack damage perk, and the ghoul bonus power damage with glow perk (plus other meta stuff like number cruncher) and the heavy hitters 2 star mod
a cryo war glaive is super good because it hits stupid hard with cryo and slows everything (pic rel), and ghoul melee power attacks hit stupid hard
with a good weapon you can hit 10-20k hits on stuff like the ultracite titan or scorchbeast queen weak points, the biggest issues with melee imo is that without a cryo war glaive you can still have great damage (like furious + pounders + reverse onslaught agi perk + power attack build does even more damage) but bosses constantly backstep away from you if you don't slow them which is a huge pain in the ass because it makes them run all over the place unless you can hit them into a corner and have them stay still which is harder without cryo

>>582970201
I kinda liked unarmed though and I can't do that in PA.

oh that's fair, yeah i kinda wanted to do a bow pa thing but you can't use those in pa either, i don't really know exactly how much damage the pa power attack bonus really adds once you have all your other buffs so maybe a power attack build might still be a dps increase for you but idk, i just know stuff like the ripper is still pretty slow to kill infestation bosses so i went back to power attacks
>>582971301
>Would I get my ass kicked if I tried bloodied on an infestation?

Playing FO4 for the first time, doing melee-only (following a guide). It's okay but I feel like I could be having more fun. What's your favorite build in vanilla FO4?

>>582975235
If you're not too far along, get a mod that gives you 40 SPECIAL points like in the classic games and start over. This might seem overpowered, but the mod also prevents you from raising SPECIAL so you're stuck with what you have.

After that, just use whatever build you would use in any other Fallout game and see what will happen. For melee in particular, STR is needed for damage, END for sprinting time and useful perks as well as AGL for extra AP(Blitz breaks the game into tiny little pieces but you need AGL of 9 or 10).

>>582975235
I like high str, high int, melee + big guns + power armor. No VATS, ever. Same for Fallout 76, but it's more fun there because of better perks, more weapons, better legendary effects... etc.
