Question about Nuka World. How much content do I miss by killing the leaders of the gangs? I know I can become a solo raiding party, but if that's as shit as it sounds then I can't be fucked. I just want to get the DLC out of the way so I can get the game off my backlog now.

Literally nothing besides 2 perks.
You shoot up the themeparks and do some settlement bullshit to unlock vanilla assets with spikes.

>>167357805
>>167357976
>>167358208
Most of them move for me, but there's like one or two that just don't. One of the static ones keeps ending up where Sunny is supposed to stand to trigger the geckos in the tutorial quest, but she stands on top of it, while the activator is under it. I ought to look at that, I just disabled that specific tumbleweed.

>>167360632
>Literally nothing

>Dialoge
>acheivments

Why bother.

>>167359819
The only thing you're actually locked out of are the perks, shit radiant quests, and Gage. Everything relating to the park itself is still open, you can still clear the areas and get the power back on and get all the items.

worry worry worry im so painfully shy

From last thread:
Is there a mod that has turned all the settlement locations in to little villages/towns yet? Doesn't seem too complicated, but I'm not a modder so I don't know if it's possible to just disable the player's ability to build in those locations. Maybe keep Sanctuary as a place they can build in, and have small player owned homes in each location that was previously a settlement in case they wanted a home there. Quests that require you to clear the settlement of enemies could just be a case of 'we got kicked out by ghouls/raiders/etc', then you go in, kill them, and the settlers go back there.
It's particularly annoying because most of the settlements set up a particular town structure, or are too restrictive to allow much else without tanking my fps. So in-game, if I create an actual town, I end up avoiding it because I don't want to play a slideshow.

>>167360860

>Doesn't know how to quote OR greentext properly

>>167360794
Just checked and there's no difference between the tumbleweeds. They just get caught on shit. There's a sort of fix that replaces them with their creature version but that's just creepy.

>>167359934
Which, from what I've heard, consists of going to the Commonwealth and taking Settlements, right?
>>167359970
Sounds shit. It's disappointing because I was actually expecting something decent from it.
>>167360632
What are the perks?
>>167360860
Not looking to build my character much after doing the DLC, it's the last thing I have to do. The dialogue needs to be some award winning shit if I'm to endure boring quests. Achievements really don't mean anything to me. Playing it on PS4 because I got given a season pass code for it, looked through the trophy list for Nuka World and it has collectible shit that I definitely won't bother with. It's not something I intend to Plat, so I don't care about them. Dunno if you were listing those to show how little the DLC has though.
>>167361136
This was my main concern. I still want to explore and do the slaver stuff, but I can't be bothered to jump around settlements again.

It's like a light Dublin accent, but there's literally no reason she would have it after her family being in Bwoston for 200 years.
Also why did her parents wait until she was 18 to sell her into slavery?

The VA is scottish, told to do Irish.

However, it kind of makes sense in fallout, since things would all mash together over time and things like scottish or irish would begin to mean less and people of that geographic area would just be wastelanders. So I kind of like it for that reason.

I'm Irish and dropped my accent after living in the states for 90% of my life and it's pretty funny to me.

>>167367463
Most folks are only good at one or two things. They can script, make textures, write, make attractive characters, make cool landscapes, etc. but very few people can do all of them.

That guy's bad at writing some parts of dialogue and making attractive characters.

>>167367281
>>167367531
Te likelihood that she'd have that accent is so small. One, or both of her parents would have had to have the accent and they would've had to get it from somewhere. By the time it got to Cait, she should barely have any accent at all, if any, unless her parents came straight from Ireland. Even then, she only spend about half her life with her parents and I doubt she spent long enough with any slaves or slavers with that accent to keep it.

>>167368018
Then, of course, it's also been 200 years after the last time anyone on earth crossed the atlantic ocean.

Cait should have just had a heavy Bostonian accent. That at least makes sense, since there are local pre-war ghouls still out and about.

>>167368820

Tenpenny's got a British accent, Cait's got an Irish accent, Melissa Lewis has a New Zealand accent, etc. There are several examples of magical, unexplained accents in Fo games.

He's an example of someone doing it, meaning it happens in fallout.

So it's an example of "it's been 200 years since anyone on earth crossed the ocean" being untrue.

Not being able to talk to him about it is a different issue.

This doesn't apply in the case of retcons. If event B happens in Fo3, and conflicts with event A in Fo1, then only event B happens when looking at the most current series canon. So it is important to note in which entry of the series that something occurs.

The writing isn't neccesarily BAD as much as a lot of things in it aren't correct. Like, weird grammatical / spelling errors here and there that aren't major, but they're noticeable. And the voice actress just goes right along with it and sounds like a moron sometimes.

The appearance of the character can easily be changed in-game.

do ENBs all still cause a shitload of input lag and shit framerate like they did years ago when i tried them for skyrim?

because that shit was all a huge waste of time because of that

DEF_UI of course, and VIS for icons/renaming with it. If you have your own tweaks to weapons/misc items/etc. you'll have to manually merge them with VIS changes though.

Slow, and yes. We will get F4Se though, the modding scene is just halfway between FO3 and NV, rather than even approaching Skyrim levels.

You could also argue that outside sex mods, Fallout 4 is already a pretty stable game with relatively fun gameplay. It already has a shitton of armor and weapon mods, and a few passable quest mods. Very few of the major issues of the game can be fixed, sadly.

I'm running through NV again to test Bounties, and I'm having fun. It's something that seems alien to me after fighting endless hordes of raiders in Boston for Duct Tape.

WHAT IN THE FUCK DOES THIS DO THEN? JACK SHIT? I'D BELIEVE YOU.

I'm having an interesting time figuring out the right way to install both of these and to have them work (sort things) properly,and using the custom settings for Valdacil's Item Sorting isn't an option since it requires 10 or more plugins.

When I use Val's Picks w/DLC in item sorting (with reduced weight mod) I get most of the icons to show up with ARWCSM but lots of things tagged like [food rads] [drinks - alcohol] don't have an icon and i have a long list of aid/chems in my pip boy although half of the items do show up in the icon category , most weapons and armor don't have a weapon icon or a tag label like [gun type] [ARM L] [ARM R] etc

When I use Val's Picks w/DLCin item sorting with vanilla weight settings, things are a little more organised most of the chems/aid get organised with an icon and the list is much shorter,a few more of the armor items and weapons get labeled with an icon and most weapons still seem to be unlabeled.

does anyone use these mods or have any advice on how to run these properly?

Oh, I thought you meant remove changes MADE IN FO4Edit. Uh, best way to do that is to right click on the version of something you want to keep, right click on it, and select "Copy as override into..." and make make a new plugin. Make sure to activate it after you save it, that isn't done automatically.

>>167386206
Open up the mods in FNVEdit, see what's winning out over it. The patch doesn't work for the hunting rifle though, there's a specific "hunting rifle fix" that then makes everything worse, but that's not the only thing going on here.

I've started seeing mods that I never noticed before on the Nexus. Not new mods, just old ones I never saw. Anyone have any recs for just misc mods?
I liked Convenient Accessories (a merge of Tailor Maid and Satchels plus some additions) enough that I uninstalled Type 3 and Spice of Life.

Pic is what I'm using right now, minus patches, bug fixes, and retextures. Looking for a mod right now that adds stuff to AI, like Puce Moose's enemies react to corpses, or XFO's enemy healing, or Project Ultimatum. But with that last one there's just too many choices for tying up NPCs.

That's not what the perk does in vanilla, all it adds is 25 more action points if you have no companions.

>>167400298

Well in Frost it's hyperpowered if you have no settlements

Which takes away the primary reward of FO4 (having a nice home base) in exchange for the reward of dominating things no problem (which you should be doing anyway at that level)

>>167400759
Do you dominate the wasteland at level 50 in Frost? I don't think you do, but I haven't reached that point yet. Sacrificing a safe place for more effectiveness in combat seems alright to me though. It fits the perk, at least.

>>167401346

The biggest stopper on total wasteland domination is ammo and VATS accuracy

By level 50 you should have so many VATS bonuses and so much ammo that you can just alt tab and let the game win for you

I remember having a real fucking hard time with the Courser fight when I was using a weapon that dealt radiation damage. Ended up having to use my bat. I figured it was a radiation immunity because he was a synth, but that could just be because it was the courser.
I know it's something people spoke about before the DLC, but it seems so incredibly pointless as a plot point that if it were true, it wouldn't make much of a difference at all. I still don't fully understand the point of creating a synth that's so closely human it is just as flawed as them, while also being susceptible to everything that hinders them. And if you were their most successful creation in that sense, they potentially fall because of you, and they've made no difference. It sounds like a neat idea to make players question it, but it makes the plot seem even more stupid.

>>167410692

Synths being "immune" to radiation is dumb
ROBOTS being "immune" to radiation is dumb

Ignoring for a moment the fact that Fallout radiation is magic juju that doesn't at all resemble real radiation, if Synths are immune to radiation it also provides a sure fire method of testing for synths

>>167410880
Fuckin' salem witch trials would've fit with certain themes in Fallout 4.

>>167408453

>RePopulated Wasteland

Thanks, that's it.

>>167410880
I don't disagree, but I don't know if gen 3 synths are entirely immune. But a lot of Fallout is dumb, which is why it's so jarring when they try to devise their own dilemmas. Especially in 4 where player interaction is so heavily limited. The game would be far better with less combat and more chances to actually interact with the world. It all just comes down to a gunfight.

>>167414991
It's called being autistic, I guess. Follow a guide or have specific mods ready, and just use those. The only fatigue I get is from trying to figure out if I've generated bashed tags for every plugin or not, since some just don't have any to detect. Otherwise I end up not playing only because I look up from Wrye Flash only to see that I needed to log off an hour ago. Also use a bashed patch, once you figure it out, it makes compatibility with any new mods you add easy. It took a while to figure out what mods shouldn't have stuff imported from certain categories, but I'm down to all of one "attacks per second" value for a single weapon that ends up using the version a few decimal points off from what I wanted it to import.

>>167416418

You download ENBoost, run the VRAM sizetest tool, and put the number you get minus a bit into the VRAM setting. And follow the directions. You don't use a preset with it, typically. I mean you can, but that usually offsets much of the "boost" part. And don't worry about proxy libraries, if it's used it'll be already set up in an ENB preset.

Not at all - it's just called "Atom's Gift" or something and left at that. Richter didn't have any idea about his having it until he was the only member of his company to survive the radiation exposure.

>>167409864
It's artificially created, and it's not identical to the stuff in real humans since they hype up how much better synths are at everything than humans. There's so many conceivable ways humans would've had to test Synths and it's just ignored for the sake of the narrative, but they didn't even do the narrative right by turning it into a witch trial thing like the other guy posted. So it's just bad all around.

How are the dlc's?

>>167427606
Far Harbor is okay. Plot is still utterly retarded but there's less mandatory violence and better player choice in the resolution. It's a big landmass but it's kind of empty and I personally didn't think the loot was very rewarding.
Haven't done Nuka World but I did look at the region and I have to say it looks even more barren the FH.

Is melee any fun/can it be made fun by mods?

I wanna slap the shit out of people with a baseball bat the whole game.

>>167428169
Melee is trash now, for standard combat - the swinging animations are so outrageously slow that it is completely unusable. VATS is OK with Blitz + Four Leaf Clover or Grim Reaper's Sprint, but at that point you have invested so many perk and SPECIAL points that you would be better off with guns anyway.

>Very few of the major issues of the game can be fixed, sadly.
>It's something that seems alien to me after fighting endless hordes of raiders in Boston for Duct Tape.
Exactly my concern. Weapons/armors/leveled stuff, power armor and settlements could be enhanced, fixed, etc. However quests won't get fixed, it would almost require turning it into a different game.

However, I still see potential in FO4 as a survival, settlement building game, especially with re-balanced items. Addition of some nice new radiant quests alongside some good companion/quest mods is all I hope for. I feel like this new engine could handle a more dynamical faction interaction. On other hand some of the issues mentioned by some modders with the engine is really disappointing (fuck you Todd).
Well, let's hope for the best.

>>167432351
Stars and moon don't really provide much light for seeing stuff. Most pictures that show any blue were taken as the sun is setting and still providing some light. Also light balance and general photography... why take a photo that you can't see anything in? Having been there though, you really can't see anything.

1 damage from physically being hit by the bottle, 50 from the bottle shattering and a poof of fire in a small area, and a 'placed object' of fire hazard Molotov which is a small energy damage dot to a small area.

its best to set the outer radius from 500 to like 75, and increase the damage and duration of the placed object effect, than it actually acts like a Molotov would, not a grenade that goes off on impact

>>167428951
Nevada Skies is over the top but the weather itself is good. Loud though, but there's a separate mod that has a replacement .bsa with quieter audio.

RWLE has better lighting (supposedly, I really can never tell) but the rain is super loud, way too frequent, and doesn't come with any settings.

I tried those two URWL ones that aren't on the nexus anymore and the lighting was weird. Also had a shit ton of plugins iirc.

Project Reality looked good but no DLC support.

I don't know, depends on what you want from it. I got tired of weather rather quickly, though I imagine if there was a way to take shelter without having to move to an interior cell, it would be much better.

Who says they have been?

Is there a mod that gives you just a bottomless box of crafting resources?

I hate downloaded a mod gun or outfit then having to console command the resources to craft them.

Is there seriously still no way to scrap shit for machines except "hurr just drop it on the ground"?

“

Allistair Tenpenny came to the Capital Wasteland from Great Britain to seek his fortune, so that alone tells you that the U.K. was also hit in the war. And if he came to U.S. to succeed, that says a lot about how screwed up Europe must be. So we just allude, a little bit, to the state of the rest of the world. We like to leave a lot to the players' imaginations, and somebody like Tenpenny serves as a catalyst for those thoughts.

They're shit.

>>167409749
>Why the fuck does DiMA ask if you're a Synth?
Its a 4th wall breaking joke about how you have no memories before the game begins because its a game, and thus, you, the player, didn't experience anything before the game began.

Hes asking if you are an artificial being because of that, which the character, the SS, is, because he is just a game character.

They do this same shit with TES lore all the time.

>>167427546
>and it's not identical to the stuff in real humans since they hype up how much better synths are at everything than humans
Normal synths aren't that much better then humans.

Only coursers are, and thats because they got lots of training and special mods.

>There's so many conceivable ways humans would've had to test Synths and it's just ignored for the sake of the narrative
Not really
>Radiation immunity
Normal people have it
>Synths don't need to eat
Synths can be programmed to think and feel like they do
>Synths don't need to sleep
Same as above, any synth infiltrator would be programmed to feel like they need to sleep
>Synths are highly resistant to disease
So are many humans

The only real way to expose a synth would be to give them an Xray and look for the device in their heads, but no one has a functioning xray outside of like the BoS

>>167431764
>How did the modding scene die on arrival?
Because Fallout 4 already has most every big mods from Fallout 3 and NV already built into it or its DLC

There is nothing for people to mod except more guns, more armor, and some quests

Fallout 4 modding died because the game is fuckig shit. It's just borderlands.

It's a RPG where you cant even roleplay. People dont mind popping it in to play a dumb psuedo-rpg or basebuilder but theres no passion for Modding it because you cant fix all the terrible writing and pointless dialog options that all lead to the exact same thing.

The game is shit at its core and people just enjoy the window dressing. It's literally shit wrapped in tinfoil.

>>167436621
>It's a RPG where you cant even roleplay
I love this new-age bullshit where people try to push the idea that "roleplaying" means "playing whatever you want" instead of actual "ROLEplaying"

>>167436621

I agree with you

>>167436621
I was saying similar shit to this when I was seventeen and Fallout 3 came out

People a handful of years older than me would have said stuff akin to it about FO2

I'm not saying you're wrong, no, you're spot on correct, but it's still funny

New Vegas is the only Fallout I enjoy RPing in

>>167436743
No but you cant roleplay even as the Characters of Nora or Nate because again, all dialog options end with you doing the same thing. There isn't even variety in approach the vast majority of the time because there's only FOUR (4) skill checks in the entire game so everything is just a variation of SHOOT THE GUYS AND BRING ME BACK THE THING.

It's not that it isn't a roleplaying game because you cant be whoever you want, you couldn't do that in any fallout other than NV.

It's not a role-playing game because you have absolutely 0 player agency.

Which is the exact same problem with Skyrim vs Oblivion or any other TES. Where every mission in Skyrim is GO TO THE CAVE AND WHACK PEOPLE WITH YOUR SWORD AND BRING BACK THE THING.

It's just so much more glaringly obvious with Fallout 4 because you are coming off NV which had like 4 different approaches for every situation and a hundred million skill checks.

I have also been saying that for years, I predicted FO4 would be Fallout 3 2, and it's exactly what we got. I think the reason Fallout 4 got such a bad response is because the Xbox 360 generation that liked Fallout 3 is all grown up now.

The only dirty edits I've come across are only in the DLC and mods that specifically say not to clean them. Merged patches with that standalone are ez pz, and bashed patches work even better with less effort (past running the script to add the tags for each plugin).

>>167436743
"Playing whatever you want" is the kind of role playing that's come to be expected in an open world game. If you want a linear story you play a Final Fantasy RPG or something. Talking about the classic ones, as I have no idea what the style or mechanics of anything after IX are.

So like literally every RPG where every choice you make has basically zero impact on the game itself, and only has any real impact in some post game slideshow talking about things that happened years later?

>and a hundred million skill checks.
Almost all of which were nonsensical and should have been removed.

>>167438205
Except there is no post game slideshow, you just get a handful of NPCs added to Diamond City from the faction that won, choke points defended by said faction, and attacks by the factions that lost.

Also they were saying short-term differences. How every dialogue choice is 3 yeses and a no, and you end up having to do it anyway, always in the exact same way.

>>167437984
being a waifufag isn't edgy.
and I'd say the evidence speaks for itself about them being autistic/crazy, so that's probably what they meant.

>>167438534
That's also what they were referring to as being edgy, the "Me? Crazy? You don't say."

>>167438515
>Except there is no post game slideshow
Because there doesn't need to be as, like any good open world RPG, the game lets you keep playing, and you can SEE the effects of your actions in the game world.

>Also they were saying short-term differences. How every dialogue choice is 3 yeses and a no, and you end up having to do it anyway, always in the exact same way.
So again, like most RPG?

>>167438783
>and you can SEE the effects of your actions
Yes, I can see the exact same thing happen for each ending, but with the factions swapped out but otherwise completely identical.

>>167438684

Caitfag doesnt strike me as edgy.

>>167438921
>but with the factions swapped out but otherwise completely identical.

A quick scripting question, if anybody knows:
Can I KillSilent() a disabled actor?

>>167439139
I've never played a WRPG that wasn't a Fallout game, stop saying "like most RPGs" without naming some other open world RPGs that weren't made by Bethesda. Google is giving me all Bethesda games, The Witcher, and Minecraft.

>>167439139
And most RPGs are shit because of this?

???

You're literally claiming "well everyone else does it so I don't see why you're singling this thing out!"

>>167439139
Fallout isn't most RPGs. Fallout is a famed RPG name because of the massive amount of player choice the games offer, and the effects the player can have on the world.

>>167439554
>And most RPGs are shit because of this?
No.

Endings in RPGs are ultimately the most useless part since older games simply didn't have the tech to do them, leaving the game incomplete, and modern games that do them only really show the problem with RPG endings in the first place.

That problem being RPGs make your character out to be a super special snowflake with big impact on the world, but, realistically, what you do would have very little actual effect on how the world turns out immediately after the events of the game's main quest, which in turn triggers the people who can never accept that they are anything less then special snowflakes.

>>167403796
It's not much worse than Chinese street food; at least you know where your oil came from.

>>167355763
Finally got around to playing 4 for the first time. What are the odds that Obsidian or anyone not-Bethesda will develop the next Fallout? I really miss the New Vegas-tier writing and quest design; this game is 50% missed opportunities and 40% pants-on-head.

Also what order should I do the DLC/main quest in?

I ran out of stuff to do in the game. Any way to fix it?

>>167439920
The DLC doesn't work like NV's, you can come and go as you please, and all but Nuka World and Far Harbor are just integrated. I think they must activate at a certain level, or at least location, since I started a new game for the first time since getting them, and nothing's shown up for quests yet.

>>167439139
But not like most Fallout endings, which is on the box, if you forgot

>>167439889
Or, you know, it's from a combination of writers being used to the old games that didn't have the tech, plus not having the time/interest/money to do a "proper" ending. Which then ties into the "well everyone does it" thing, because that's part of /why/ everyone does it. Because why would anyone expect effort to be put into something that no one else puts effort into?

Other than the presentation of the dialogue options, I don't see how fallout 4 gets as much hate as it does. It's better then fallout 3 in almost every other aspect.
Yes new Vegas had better writing and better quest setups. (Very little radiant quest) but fallout 4 maches new Vegas on wepon variety and excedes it on voices acting, companions, weapon and armor mods, and freedom to explore.(new Vegas is simply to restricted)
The people who say new Vegas is better have some real good points but I can't take someone seriously if they genuinely believe that fallout 3 was better then fallout 4 because there is no way to argue those positions other than the dialogue options, and that's not good enough.
Yes fallout 4 could have been done a lot better but I honestly don't get the hate it gets compared to the others, fallout new Vegas obviously could have been done a lot better but it little criticism because of the development time.

>>167440767
I hope you want to be a raider

>>167440512
>But not like most Fallout endings, which is on the box, if you forgot
Except Fallout endings mean even LESS then typical RPG ending because most RPGs at least have the common curiosity to set the next game so far away that the end of the last game wouldn't really matter, whereas the Fallout series has largely built itself on the idea that player choice means nothing, as the devs are just going to cherry pick what aspects of the various, sometimes contradictory, endings they want to be canon.

Choice means even less in Fallout then it does in most RPGs.

Not to mention that the choices in Fallout 1, 2, Tactics, and 3, were all false choices of either "bring everyone together" or "be a total asshole who gets basically every major town destroyed" the latter of which were obviously never going to be taken seriously.
