Thanks for building this scrap hunk for us, Vault Dweller. I

The geck was so unstable it fucking killed you so bad they retconned the ending in fo3. With mods you can build anything in fo4

>>383986551
Yeah but Fallout 2 has Arroyo look amazing in the ending slide

It's a good thing it's permanently summer in Fallout 4 because those scrap metal houses would offer no shelter in a New England winter

>>383986395
implementing the ability to terraform, making grass and trees grow and shit like that would require more work than giving the player minecraft blocks and calling it a day

>>383986730

>>383986395
>200 years later
>world still looks like the bombs fell last week
I really wish they'd stop doing this. 200 years is more than long enough for environments, nations and technology to adapt and arise once again

>>383986749
They should have just made the build areas look cleaner and added more larger prefab structures.
Places like hangmans alley look weird because you can't clear any debris

>>383986969
Sanctuary too

>>383986969
It's not like the pre-made settlements were cleaned of any debris in 200 years
it fits well with the rest of the environment

>>383986395
Even with sim settlements mod this aspect of the game just sucks, how do you fuck up base and settlement building?

>>383986931
It's actually only been 50 years since the bombs fell.
The lack of calendars, shorter human lifespans and no working clocks have warped everyone's sense of time.
The player character also died in the cryogenic statis pod and you're actually a synth planted there by Father

>>383987015
Sanctuary was weird to me, they literally had prewar versions of the house, so why couldn't they have added the option to repair an entire house for a large amount of scrap and return it to prewar state?

>>383986931
The old nation tried to restore order they're called the enclave and it didn't end well. Other than that the east coast is like the wild west, Sanctuary was untouched by humans for 200 years

>>383986395

If you want to make Vault City then buy the Vault-Tec Workshop™ DLC.

You can use the vault components to make pre-war quality pre-war houses on the surface.

>>383987074
because nothing matters outside of the stats and arming settlers does nothing.
Random Bethesda worldbuilding causes lots of settlements to kill themselves if you're in the same well, for example, the Slog constantly running off to fight the forged.
Nothing happens to, the settlements could have been perfect for random events, maybe the ability to make a hotel which causes random travellers to arrive and sometimes get named NPCs to pop in and out with their own unique stories just like animal crossing or something.

>>383986904
It's a good thing it's permanently summer in Fallout 4 because those scrap metal houses would offer no shelter in a New England winter

>>383987169
There's literally random raider graffiti in one of the houses and Codsworth was cleaning up

The houses in Sanctuary were pretty comfy, i wish they were repairable, although that would eliminate the wasteland atmosphere.

>>383987385
what the fuck, did they raise the price again?

>>383987323

There's no raider graffiti anywhere in Sanctuary.

>>383987081
What about all the pre war ghouls and computers that have been keeping track?

>>383987359
Sanctuary itself was on a little self contained island. Would have been a perfect place for a GECK side story to turn the grass green and have nice houses,even if mud concrete Fallout 2 style. Wouldn't need to affect the rest of the world due to having water barriers too'
It's called sanctuary, so let it be a sanctuary.

>>383987474
The evil spiky cat graffiti is in some buildings
Time moves faster as you get older,ever wonder where the past 5 years of your life went?

>>383987293

Fallout 4 is actually permanently fall.

Why do you think there are so many leafs all over the god damned place?

>>383987590
Because the raiders, institute and gunners won't leaf the place alone

>>383987585

That's not raider graffiti, those are pre-war Halloween decorations.

>>383986667
Dont forget vault city

>>383987647
Then how did the crafting stations get to sanctuary?

>>383987323
That's halloween graffiti from before the war diamond city has the same thing on Oct 31 decorations. There's not even a single bed or anything in sanctuary other than one dead raider and a dog at the end of the bridge.

Give it another 100 years, society already adapted, so it's a matter of time before a new nation born there

>>383987767

They were suppose to be there since before the war. The house across from the players house where all the crafting tables are were trying to restore a car before the war, and the chemistry station is behind a chem dealers house.

The only sign of post war habitation is in one of the houses where there is a skeleton behind an improvised barricade made out of furniture.

It's inconsistent with the pre-war Sanctuary in the game opening, but one of the houses changes color and another grows a new door post war so what do you expect?

>>383987884
That vault suit looks closer to the old art from fo1 than fo3 and nv did. It's supposed to be a tight spandex type thing.

It would turn into The Sims. I think having a bunch of equally dilapidated settlement slums with the gas station being the lone wanderer's "batcave" is part of the atmosphere.

>>383988010
Yeah it looks good, but there's no lootable ones

>>383987939

Actually it's implied that things were actually better in the past, but then the Institute started dumping massive fucking amounts of Super Mutants into the world.

Even if you sided with the Institute the Institute had already stopped its FEV experiments, so with no way to replenish their numbers the Super Mutants will eventually die out.

>>383987767
The chemistry one is because in one of the houses there was a drug dealer and probably some shitty reference to meth

The weapon and armor and shit is basically tools scavanged from the garage of somebody who liked to work on his car and bought a lot of fancy tools.

by game logic: to make it a tutorial section

>>383988098
You know, they mention that the institute started inside the CIT basement after the war and they continued building.
How did they build and expand with such high quality materials without ever leaving?

>>383988068
They give you the rusted and new looking 111 ones and vault 114 has some

>>383988068
I looted one once, don't remember where.

>>383987939
Then why is the west coast literally a thriving nation now?

Las Vegas was literally the new "Wild West" frontier and it was much more civilized

The east coast had the brotherhood of steel and the enclave to do something for the last hundred years

I get that the west had less bombs but 200 years is enough to have very little radiation left

People would have rebuilt, at least to a certain point

What are all the raiders raiding??? There are more raiders in one hideout than people in the biggest "city" in Boston

>>383988168

If you look at the old robotics, the reactor area and most of the abandoned FEV lab, all of the shit they were using was just pre-war. Once they got the synth project up and running they could just send them out to get shit.

>>383988216
Bethesda never thought to think about tribal society.
New Vegas was filled with different tribes and still is, just some of them became civilised.
Bethesda Fallout is only Raiders and civilised people

I have yet to get to the DLC content, is there an appropriate settlement in base game or Far Harbor that would fit a boat captain character? Like a house near the sea or a straight up boat (although I doubt that is possible with Bethesda's engine)

>>383987929
Just pirate dude

>>383988098
The institute only stopped messing with FEV because Virgil turned into a Super Mutant and fucked up the lab. The tapes in there make it clear that Father wouldn't shut down the program even after it became useless for Synth related research.

>>383988315
That is because they took the fantasy template of the elder scrolls and thought it could apply to fallout.

Raiders = bandits
Super mutants = orcs
Brotherhood of Steel = knights

>>383988276

Actually I'll expand on that, the old robotics may have been a part of CIT already. The ability to manufacture their own robots to go out and scavenge before the surface was habitable again would have given the Institute a considerable edge, so even before they got the synth project up and running they still had robots.

>>383988357
It's a great aesthetic, they rebuilt but it doesn't resemble the pre war.

Also does Bethesda fallout not feel futuristic to anyone else? The prewar cities in 1 and 2 looked kind of weird and advanced while in 3 and 4 it just straight up looks like the old 50's with some robots

>>383986667
Fallout 2's geck is just a bunch of educational reading materials, seeds, and tools. Fallout 3's geck is a magickal wonder device that the Lone Wanderer is forced to kill himself with for no reason.

>>383988357
That makes me curious.
What about back down in D.C.? They should have mass purified water flowing, assuming that ends up canon, and the tree man and his little forest in that valley should have ample opportunity spread like wildfire out into the waste now.

>>383988405
Institute = Thalmor
Brotherhood = Imperials
Railroad = Stormcloaks

>>383988536
Fallout 4 invalidated the entire storyline of Fallout 3 by allowing you to build huge water purifiers out of bits of scrap metal.

>>383988358
How do you even get to Far Harbour. I've done the Nukaworld shit, but not that.

>>383988497
Exactly. Collecting it could have given access to mud, concrete and refurbished building styles.

>>383988369

It's pretty obvious that Fathers objective was the continued destabilization of the surface.

Ironically the Institute is very similar to the BoS in NV. They both just want to sit in a hole in the ground and wait for the surface to die.

>>383988592
Quest about a missing asian waifu leads you there,should get it from valentines radio signal

>>383988486
Bethesda has so much trouble with the Fallout setting. They can't decide on on sci-fi 50's setting or complete wasteland, and it ends up being this awkward combination.

1, 2 and NV had actual worlds that were interesting beyond the 50's and NUKES.

>>383988358
Taffington boathouse or Nordhagen beach could be ok.
Or Spectacle island.
There's also a sewage plant along the coast that looks high etch, just mod the building limit a little bigger

>>383988536
The BoS runs that place under martial law. They took rivet city's fusion reactor to use in the prydwen. MacReady got the hell out of there for a reason. Lone Wanderer ended up making things almost as bad as the Enclave.

>>383988592

You need to advance the main story to a certain point.

>>383988692
Ah, it's that one. It seemed dull, so I avoided it.

>>383988725
They're having trouble with the Elder Scrolls if Skyrim is any indication. Did Todd fire some good employees to make room for high school buddies?

>>383988216
It's just Bethesda being lazy
Nevada and near areas were actually protected by Mr.House and his anti-missile shield

Also it is implied that the Choosen One helped shady sands into forming a new nation with near settlement, Also let's not forget the use of the GECK and the creation of Vault City.
Raiders is just a way to reffer to organizated bandits and criminal tribes like the Khans or the Vipers.

>>383988486
They should've just rebooted the series/made a new ip for a post-apocalyptic 50's game. Why are their lasers when it's the 50's? Why does everything look all bel-air when it's supposedly in the future? What's with the robots and the diner aesthetic? Just do one or the other, not a weird mix of both.

>>383988821

It's just futuristic 50s aesthetic. The intro of FO4 makes it pretty clear.

>>383988739
Sucks, would have been better if the BoS basically just stole all the tech and left back into the shadows.
Have the BoS be the institute styled faction instead and the institute less secretive. Fallout 3 institute seemed kind of better than what we got

>>383988734
Thanks I will check those out

>>383988850
It's not the 50's. I believe the bombs fell in Fallout around the year 2070?

>>383988850
Not everything is supposed to be 50s just the clothes, music, cars etc. Weapons technology and robots got more advanced than our real world.

>>383988896

I love the future 50's.

Honestly I would love to own one of the cars you see in 4.

>>383988872
Good of Pete Hines and whoever does the 'animations' of Bethesda games are high school friends

I think the settlement stuff in Fallout 4 is okay, but it could have been a lot better. I'm somewhat convinced that the reason is that Bethesda starts out making their RPGs will all these grand ideas, but they never end up completing them on time, so once they're near the deadline they say "alright we have all this shit, we need to prioritize. what should we focus on, and what can be slagged off reasonably?"

for example in skryim, the cooking system is just pure dogshit. a 10 year old could have come up with something better. there's no way anybody at bethesda sat down and looked at that cooking system and said "this is fucking awesome, people are going to love this great cooking system". almost all the food has the same effect, 10 or 15 health/stamina restored. but there are an absolute shitload of recipes, so this leads me to believe they were gonna make a lot more cool effects on the food like the moon sugar fondu, but didn't for whatever reason. maybe running out of time or just deciding it wasn't worth the time/money anymore. bethesda rpgs are plagued with this unfinished feel and it's sucks dick because with just a little more polish these things could be amazing.

>>383988850

Because the war didn't happen in the 50s, the war happened in 2070.

Our history and Fallout diverged somewhere in the 50s or so. Basically the 50s never ended in the Fallout universe.

>>383989018
For all the shit Bethesda gets I personally think they did a great job with the cars and robot designs this time around, they just look really good to me. Too bad some weapons look retarded like the Light Machinegun and its giant barrel

>>383989053
Imo retro aesthethic is fantastic in general.

>>383989053
With those gas prices? I hope you got a cold fusion model.

>>383989120
The games have the same feel as your fantasy games when you were 12.
It's full of THIS HAPPENS, AND THEN THIS HAPPENS, AND, AND THIS HAPPENS, with none of it really though it.
Considering that Bethesda started off as DND nerds, maybe that explains it
Most of their good content, like Oblivions Shivering Isles, Thieves guild and Dark brotherhood brought in external writers and stuff though

Those aren't gas prices on the Red Rocket sign, those are coolant prices for the nuclear engines.

>>383988661
The Western Brotherhood doesn't want the surface to die, they just want to safeguard weapons of mass destruction. See: Helios One, and how they sacrificed their entire chapter trying to defend it from the NCR because it had a sun-powered laser beam device in it.

I seriously doubt they were so explody before the war, that 200 years of wear and tear did that to them.

If they actually were that fragile before the war none of them would have survived the war without exploding.

I've never played F4, did it greatly improve on anything from F3? My biggest gripe with 3 is the lack of enemy variety.

>>383988850
The 2070's had a massive cultural resurgence of the "golden age" of the 50's. Fallout 1 & 2 also hint at punk culture and Fallout 4 has a magazine that directly references hippie culture, plus the Atom Cats which were basically a faction centered around the 1920's/1930's Hotrodding culture. It's not as simple as a 50's time capsule, despite what /v/ seems to think.

Fusion cores blow up when you shoot the back of power armor just like the cars do.

Yes, that's what I said. That gas is ten times the price of the coolant nuclear cars used.

>>383989596
Basically the same but with 2 versions of Cazadores added and random 'legendary' enemies that you need to kill twice because they 'mutate'

>>383989240
Bethesda absolutely nailed the robot designs in Fallout 4. If there is ONE thing that I unequivocally love in Bethesda's Fallout games, it's the robots. Fallout 1 & 2 were pretty lacking in that department.

>>383989786

Not cazadors, giant mosquitoes and wasps.

>>383989786
thats a shame
I guess bethesda games are just shit without mods

>>383989596
You have old timey robots which come in a few variations, a couple new. Gouls. Raiders. Super Mutants, some giant bugs, mirelurks and animals like bears and deathclaws and then Synths, which are just people shaped robots.

So basically the same. They are quite enjoyable to shoot though. I find Gouls and Synths are fun. Like you can shoot a goul in the leg and blow its leg off and it falls over so you can shoot it in the head. Synths and robots have panels and armour break off, which is nice.

>>383989596
It has raiders, gunners, ferals, super mutants, crazy robots, synths, bos, radscorpions etc. They get tougher versions as you level up.

>>383989891

If you shoot off all of a robots guns it will charge at you and self destruct.

Food eliminates the need for stimpaks you can just spend the first 40 levels cooking all the food you pick off dead things and horde hundreds of stimpaks cause they drop like candy on raiders and stuff now.

The crafting is cool, but I don't like how it changes the flow of the gameplay.

Instead of exploring because the location is interesting, or I'm doing a quest or something, I'm just going into everything to get more adhesive to upgrade my shit. It doesn't feel like an RPG any more.

One of the few satisfying things I found in F4 was to set up a supply chain network with heavily armed sentrybots as the provisioners.
It was beautiful. Nice neat lines following the major roads, with places like Starlight Drive-In acting as hubs, and the gift of high-explosives being given freely to everything that so much as twitched along those routes.

The greatest problem with Bethesda games is that eating/sleeping/drinking isn't important and money is too easy to find. It's barely roleplaying.

>>383990401
Food's better anyways because there's no animation for it like the stimpak injection
>>383990412
>Quest
There were non radiant quests in the game? All I remember is Travis

>>383990401

Survival further reduces the need for stimpacks since using them makes you thirsty.

I think the trade off is that food heals you at an incredibly slow rate.

Will they ever make a return?

My main problem with Fallout 4 is the setting. Almost every fucking qualm I have with the game comes from the sheer retardation of the Institute.

Why did the Institute keep making super mutants after they no longer wanted to actually progress with them? How did nobody figure out that there are super mutants despite there being no FEV in the Commonwealth, and that maybe a certain shadowy organization had put them there to fuck shit up? Why did they murder an entire vault of pure humans when they could've used them for various experiments? How the FUCK did their leader die of cancer when even a MkI Mr. Handy that was 40 years out of date by 2077 managed to cure every single disease? Why do they use Gen 3 synths for menial labour when they could just attach a welder to a Mr. Handy and call it a day? Why are they working on replacing their robotic synth workforce with fleshy beings specifically designed to blend into society rather than water plants? Why do they 3D print people and get surprised when they learned that 3D printed people act like people? Why are they acting like synth free will is a bug, despite every single synth in the Institute not having a synth chip and thus implying that synths don't need a synth chip to be sentient? Why do their synth agents on the surface obey their every command, I.E McDonough and that one synth on the farm? Why are their synth agents, which are critical to their surface operations and have been built from the ground up to blend in, not act like people? Roger Warwick and McDonough are noticeably not human, and every person including a reporter and a ten year old can figure out their true identity or at least suspect it? Why are they fucking with the surface in the first place? Why is it that instead of just having Kellogg teleport Shaun's daddy in, they have him slog through the wastes and become a husk of a man before putting him in charge, when he's clearly unhinged from the hundreds of lives he's snuffed out to find his son?

And why does the institute replace people? Why not create synths with new personalities and send them off to join a settlement. Replacing people just causes suspicion!

The institute scientists have a god complex m8. They'd just do shady shit in secret. The only way they'd stop properly is if the protag went around executing people for breaking the rules, at which point there'd be (un)civil unrest.

>>383990928
There's a glitch or something where you take a bunch of weapons from the workbench and drop on the ground and store them in them back in the workbench one by one reducing the size limit. Works on every version of the game.

>>383991174
There are numerous people in the Institute who think that Synths are sentient. The only reason why the Institute is so retarded is because of Shaun, the god complexes could be manageable if they weren't encouraged.
For example, Shaun tells his people to just stop doing cybernetic work. And, just like that, they stop doing cybernetic work.
Of course shady shit would still happen, but not to the extent it was before.

>>383991197

>>383991385
What you just described is literally all the PS4 mods have to offer. I'm not even kidding. We can only tweak flags in the game engine, but not scripts because that requires us to bundle a script to "override" the vanilla one.

>>383991385
It's pretty much all 'cheat chests', player homes and exp tweak items. There are some okay crafting mods (like being able to add legendary traits to weapons), and there's a set of decent foliage mods.
It's a pretty poor selection overall.

>>383991443
nope. funniest thing is that sequence breaks the game and you are shot at through the walls by dozens of synths, and also you're locked in

>>383990714
Post proof of brothel.

>>383991197
The assets you can unlock on PS4 are still pretty substantial. You get everything they used in the game to build with the only downside is most things don't snap but you can work around that.

>>383991385
There's a settlement mod that adds every in game asset as a plop-able, even including stuff like the Bunker hill monument, so you can improve them but there's no new wall, floor or roof pieces or the like
All mods disable trophies though

Had. Bethesda split the community in half by their fucking minimal effort "Speshul Edition" bullshit that wasn't compatible with Original Skyrim mods and still doesn't have script extender last time I checked, then they split those halves into more halves with Creation Club in which the best modders are leaving their free mods in a state of abandonment in exchange for shittily paying contracts with Bethesda.

I don't think that a settlement there would work, just because there'd be no non-Institute scientists to keep it functioning.
Speaking of, where the fuck are all of the Commonwealth's scientists? How is there no Followers of the Apocalypse type of faction? Smart people tend to band together when everybody else is stupid.

The minutemen are redneck settlers with guns they don't care about institute tech

>>383992101
It is. However, it doesn't do anything on its own. It provides the tools, technologies, resources and knowhow to create a thriving community. Fallout 3's GECK uses magic to transform the earth.

>>383992317
You're right about the seeds, tools, and technologies, but the geck does transform irraditated soil into clean soil that's viable for farming. It's always been that way.

>>383992161
>they don't care about Institute tech
But I do, and I'm the General and I tell them what to do.

After you blow up the institute all the surviving scientists integrate into the wasteland population

>>383992597
That's what always confused me. The remaining Institute scientists are totally cool with the Minutemen destroying their home, but I can't just keep the Institute intact and let the science nerds help out the wasteland.

>>383992776
It's not like they have the resources or logistics to start fighting the minutemen again, they're practically refugees.

>>383992776
It's like when the school bully offers you an apple juice

>>383992776
You cause a big incident with a couple scientists by just being named the successor. You can't just fully change the whole beliefs of the institute without pissing people off. X6-88 is representative of their true beliefs and he wants all surface dwellers to die out so the institute inherits the earth. The older models synths roaming around have shoot-to-kill programming on all wastelanders.

Back in 2007 NWA were hysterical that FO3, among other things, was going to abandon the retrofuturistic 50's aesthetic and become too serious and realistic, and thus not a "true" Fallout game.
Fast forward, anti-Bethesda fans, who are now mostly NV fans, tell us that the 50's aesthetic was Bethesda's invention all along.
Funnily enough, this isn't even accurate as NV has just as much, if not more of a 50s vibe than FO3/4
I love contrarianism. I can't wait to see the 2027 comments about this.

>>383993491
the 50's futuristic style has literally always been present in the Fallout series, it's just that everything was too nuked to shit to really realize just how 50's aesthetic the world was. Everything, from the guns in Fallout 1 & 2 to the cars and the robot designs, hint at a 50's theme.

NV very clearly has a wild west meets high rolling style. The only thing that's really 50's about NV is the way some characters talk, like Benny who is a straight up Rat Pack caricature which is way more intrinsic to Vegas' identity than it ever was with the 50's.

The architecture is less futurey though. It's better in Fallout 4, maybe 3 had too many engine limitations, but doesn't match any of the hopeful concept art for the original 3.
Also what happened to that Fallout MMO that was meant to happen?

>>383993802
/v/ thought up a vault one time. Basically, it was a bunch of isolated rooms that were on constant rotation around eachother. The only contact that people had with the other rooms was a small hole in each room that would peer into the adjacent room.
There was dicksucking and wallsex, of course, but there was an increasing amount of shitters who slowly went insane and started shitting through the walls. There were also skelly people who starved themselves so that they could fit through the hole, and subsequently murdered whoever was adjacent to them. Eventually there were "Death Rooms," which was where people put the corpses of murdered/expired vault dwellers.

Can someone tell me why every fucking enemy in this game aggroes you if you just show your face to them, even if they were already in combat with someone else? Does this happen in vanilla or is it one of my mods?
It's fucking infuriating because it makes companions near useless. They already deal little damage with the mods I have, and unless I hide from the enemy they don't even tank damage for me because the enemies just attack me even if I didn't harm them

Well NV is seven years old. F3 is nine. Most people were introduced to these games on 360/PS3 where graphics weren't exactly cutting edge. Plus the go on sale through steam for maybe $5 fairly often or the entire collection of games will go on sale for $20. I doubt many new people would jump on if they were introduced to it today, but the people who've played it for awhile see no problem with it. Well they do, hence the overhaul mods, but they're far from unplayable.

Blue boards are not meant to be gross anarchy, but they're not supposed to be always straight edge professional either, 4chan is supposed to be a fun place where you can say and show and laugh about things without getting banned for hurting someone's feelings.

>>383996515
Also after so many years, why couldn't they think about using those light stands on the edges for security, lighting up the streets of the commonwealth for the guards to snipe raiders and whatever, or simply use hardened dirt for the road instead of wooden and metal scrap boards that are probably full of rust and old nails. Or even just occupy the entire stands area and use the entire field for a large farming co-op.
Why did they just make Megaton 2.0? If Covanent could repair itself to a pre war state why can't a large city full of resources? Goodneighbour makes more sense as a city even.

Also wish places like Greygarden and the Slog were more developed, instead of just having one introductory quest.

I hate how it's applied to Fallout 4, because Fallout 4 doesn't have weapon crafting, it's an ugly form of progression system, there is no reason for you not to get only most costly upgrade for a weapon.

Holy fucking shit this. This is something that gets me every time i play NV. That game has such a huge focus on caravans but all the roads are full of shit that would take a few minutes at most to move and make travel easier.

Thanks Pete

Though they probably used the industrial elevator or something

>>383997153
I get why they did it, but removing weapon degradation was a mistake. There is absolutely no penalty in the game for selling every gun and ammo type besides the one you have that's OP so you never run out of ammo.

>>383996880
You can kill Travis any time you want it just isn't an option in his quest even though the bartender jokes about it. There's probably a bunch of stuff people don't know about like the BoS attacking your artillery sites after the main quest and going to war with the minutemen if you're enemies.

along with what others said, one of the female NCR rangers was a rape victim and you can tell her to shut the fuck up and go see a doctor

>>383990714
Did they make it so that walls are actually useful rather than doing nothing against attackers?
I spent too much time setting up walls and checkpoints with turrets/guards just to find out it was all useless.
Either the enemies teleport in still or they bug out and get stuck.

>>383997312
Oh right. Why is the Bartnender Russian, why is Cait Irish? Where are all these foreign people coming from when there's no working boats or anything

>>383997321
You're thinking of something else, Betsy from 1st Recon, you meet her in McCarran and later Forlorn Hope.

>>383996960
Not exactly. Stuff like single shot is good for ammo conservation. Some upgrades can reduce range by a lot which might not be viable depending on how you play.

Armor crafting is more flexible in that department though with more variable upgrades.

>>383997153
I found a bleeding submachine gun that did 20 points of bleeding damage with every shot early on.
The bleed damage ignored all armor including mirelurk's shells and power armor, ammo was everywhere, and the gun fired extremely fast.

I kept that weapon all the way through the game.

FO3 had foreigners like Moriarty and Dukov as well. You use boats to get to point lookout and far harbor so it's not impossible.

>>383997321
It was. It's actually a web of rape victims, that starts from two people in Westside who spread their trafficking ring outwards.

Power armor is better, world design is generally better thanks to added verticality, dungeon design is better but it's "video gamey" instead of realistic, so you almost always return back to the front door at the end.

Enemy variation is terrible, 75% of areas are full of raiders of gunners (see: raiders).

>>383989120
That's basically confirmed. Bethesda always has huge ideas then realize half way through their engine is shit, they don't have time, and the game will sell better than their last title regardless so long as the game still kinda works.

It woulds have been neat if the settlement stuff played into it somehow, like as you come to develop towns raider gangs become less commonplace as living an honest life becomes more viable. Or you could have it the exact opposite way and have more pop up in reaction to the increased number of targets.

The former would make the settlement building more meaningful in a narrative sense as it'd make it seem like you really are taming the place and restoring order but the latter option of increasing shit to shoot would act as a solid progression of threats gameplaywise, hard to say which would be better honestly.

They were a reference to one of the FO 1 or 2 gangs, that splintered off from Shady sands and the Khans

>>383998213
Shit, I'd at least prefer for FO4 to have a main road of sorts which is where most of the settlements would be along. The map is too random compared to the egg shaped highway of new vegas that functioned as a safe path

>>383998028
Power armor almost feels too good, you never have to worry about dying much even with a direct hit from a fatman. The jetpack is nice.

>>383998225
That's west coast power armour.
East coast is different

Is there a good game about recolonising the post-nuclear wasteland?

FO4 would be fantastic if it was that instead of what it is.

I like how magic canonically exists in Fallout now but nobody ever complains about that because the ground is covered in 200 year old trash.

>>383998225
You pick up so many fusion cores it don't even matter. Ammo boxes will have 4 at a time once you're a decent level. Nuclear physicist perks makes them last forever.

>>383998794
magic has always canonically existed. some of the Master's lieutenants were psykers

>>383998858

Psykers and magic have been in Fallout since Fallout 1 and one of the main characters (The Master) in Fallout 1 was a psyker.

>>383993226
The institute has this weird two faced thing you can never call them out on. On the surface before you get to them they kill civilians and abduct them, they've usurped all attempts to actually form a government etc etc. Then you get there and they're presented like none of that is going on. You can say they're trying to win your favor but you also can't call them out on it or any of the stuff you find EG the super mutant stuff. You can't even tell Piper the mayor is a synth when you find out. You just have to wait for shit to unfold.

I feel like Fo4 has the frame work for a really good story but Bethesda got done laying the framework and thought "nah too hard" then came up with the shit we have. There's a potential for a very connected world.

Also it's obvious they either stopped trying with animations or made a few scenes look better than the others for E3.

Power armor didn't feel very good in fo3. There wasn't much of a notable difference in movement or protection from the standard combat armor and deathclaws shredded right through it.

>Fallout
>After being dipped in FEV vats, absorbing some other people and being connected to the LA Vault computer, the Master gained some psychic powers the extent of which is unknown. He was able to attack humans mentally, although his attacks could be repelled with proper training. The Master was able to somehow bring forth psychic abilities in certain humans after they were injected with FEV (usually the pineal gland, but also the Amygdalae or Medulla), but most of the experiments were failures (resulting in insanity) or used to line the Corridor of Revulsion. There were four psykers in the Master's lair:

>Wiggum was electrokinetic-dominant[1]
>Lucy was telekinetic-dominant and a minor photokinetic
>Moore was pyrokinetic-dominant
>Gideon was a receiving-telepathic-dominant (without the ability to control his telepathy, requiring the psychic nullifier to block incoming thoughts) with minor photokinetic abilities.
>All four of them died when the Cathedral was vaporized in nuclear fire.

>Additionally, Chuck in Adytum appears to have some psychic powers.

>Player abilities
>The ability to resist the Master's psychic attacks is represented in the SPECIAL system by the Mental Block perk.

The west coast in general seems better maintained in comparison to the east. Granted so far we've only seen New England, but all 3 and 4 have shown is that region in particular would be ultimately helpless during an apocalyptic situation. Bethesda should try challenging themselves and choose a region that can actually return to nature like Florida Everglades.
