So, what are some headcanons you all have come up with to make some things in 4 make sense?

One of mine is that the power armor worn in all the other fallout games are smaller more advanced versions that don't require the rig you use in 4.

The benefit of the power armor rigs is that any type of power armor pieces can be snapped on or off and more heavily customized than the power armor that we use in the other fallout games. The big downsides of using the rigs are that they are slower to move around in, and they are essentially gas guzzlers, sucking up energy from fission cores at ludicrous speed.

It works with wetness

I'm planning a crossover fancomic/fanfic where the New Vegas characters go to the Commonwealth. However to prevent things from getting too crowded, I've decided to cut the number of NV companions that appear in the story.

Right now I'm having trouble deciding between Cass and Raul. I think Raul would be interesting to have around since he has a pre-war perspective not unlike SS and Nick, and he also has a penchant for costumed heroics, which would jive with with Hancock and SS (Silver Shroud).

Although Cass likes booze and parties which could fit in with Hancock, Cait, and maybe Deacon. And being a legacy character, she also may end up lending a unique perspective on the earlier Fallouts (which won't otherwise be really featured in the fic.) I've also been looking around various polls, and it seems like Cass is a much more popular character than Raul. Considering the fancomic/fanfic is meant to be really just one big self-indulgent fanon-laden wankfest, I figure it makes more sense to include the character more people want to see.

>>147230883

It's funny that, despite how the polls I found look, Raul does get a disproportionate amount of support on 4chan.

... Admittedly I don't care all that much for Cass, and I'd prefer to use Raul. Asking which character to pick here is probably just me looking for validation. But maybe someone might say something that'll change my perspective.

Wasteland workshop 1
Brahmin cage requires razorgrain to bait

You can capture Mirelurks, Deathclaws, Radstags, and other creatures.

>>147226505
It does.

Was wandering out near the edge of the glowing sea, when a radstorm blew in. Toss on some anti-rad gear, and pop some Rad-X, and then keep going.

Then I heard gurgles from behind.

A decent sized pack ambushed me from behind, and ended up turning the whole thing into a fairly interesting diversion from what would otherwise have been a pretty boring walk from points A to B.

>>147231148
ETA on the hairs?

>>147231601
Oh I didn't even notice the cages. I never thought of using captured brahmin to generate fertilizer - does that work (up to two I guess)?
I'll take a look at the scripts and see if uncapping that is reasonable. Fertilizer is kind of too hard to get given its new utility in contraptions imo.

I'm not sure actually. If you have Contraptions and Manufacturing extended you can butcher them into components.

>>147231746

I dunno. Probably a lot faster than the hats. Perhaps within 4-5 days, depending on how much I feel like working on it and all. The bgsms and textures are *pretty much* mostly done.

It doesn't help that Raul is voiced by Danny Fucking Trejo, and that Cass's voice actress is boring and monotone as fuck.

God help me, every time I have to hear her say this line,
>Drinking to forget, and it's only getting me mad instead. Whiskey always gets my temper up - now more than ever.
Instead of sounding angry or desperate or even just plain *drunk*, she just sounds sleepy.

It's also a shame that Cass doesn't get much characterization outside of being an alcoholic, being angry, and being patriotic. There was plenty of room for more, but the way her quest works out, it feels like you don't talk to her much. At the very least, I've seen her handled really well in some fanfiction.

>>147232637
Okay. I'm gonna rant. Bear with me. New Vegas's Big Theme was about the struggle between staying in the past and moving on to the future. Most of the time, these decisions are Important, having big impact on the fates of all the characters that face them. Most of the companion characters, especially the ones in Dead Money face this. The battle over the Mojave is one big kerfuffle of "which echo of the old world will win--the corrupt democracy, rampant capitalism, or Romans in football pads?"

Then you have Cass. Cass doesn't struggle with "letting go" the same way most of the other companions do. Her companion quest is about *how* to do something she's already dead set on doing: getting revenge on Crimson Caravans and the Van Graffs. Either way, she gets her revenge. "Letting go" is never an option.

So *does* Cassidy face this dilemma? Well, it's when she sells her caravan company, right? She has to either let go of her company or stay in the Outpost indefinately. But as far as the game is concerned, this doesn't even count as a dilemma , because we can't explore both options. Because it's either "she's now your companion" or "nothing happens." There's no ending slide for Cass if she never leaves the Mojave Outpost. To the game, before she leaves the Outpost, she might as well not exist.

Once she is your companion, once she's *in* the game, she doesn't do anything, struggle with anything. There's no internal conflict, nothing for her character to adapt to other than decide on *how* she gets her revenge. While the method you choose affects an ending slide, this slides has nothing to do with Cass herself. Cass's fate is merely dependent upon whether she survives and remains a companion with the Courier, and which faction wins. All her character arc amounts to is one of two perks, its effect lasting until the end of the game and not a second after. Her character arc may as well have been helping her decide what new hat she wanted.

>>147233761
Hence the *sort of* in the spoiler tags you didn't bother to read.

>>147233825
Oh, dang, my mistake.

However, I believe my point still stands. Cass's plot ends the moment it begins. The revenge story is just something for her to do afterwords.

>>147233368
yeah just open up the console, select the workbench for the settlement you're working on and type in the following:

setav 349 -1
setav 34B -1

should remove the limit. of course you can run it as a batch file for convenience.

How to get lovers embrace to work for custom companion? I get romance perk and message that says sleeping next to companion etc.. gives lovers embrace, but when i sleep in bed while companion is near it gives well rested bonus.

>>147233913
There are two endings to her revenge story, though. One is letting the authorities handle it, thus letting go of her bloodlust, and the other has her raising hell all over the Mojave with blood in her wake and not letting go of anything except her caravan. All you really posted was trite bullshit that fits your worldview instead of the reality of Cass' story, no matter your choices for her. Hell, by your standards, the only character who can actually let go is Lily because if she takes her meds at full doses or stops taking them all together she'll forget her past and let go of it entirely.

On the other hand, while Raul may be by far the most entertaining/charismatic companion just to talk to, his characterization got a little screwed because (I assume) the writers realized at the last minute that Ulysses wasn't going to make it into the main game, and that they needed one companion to at least be sympathetic towards the Legion. So they picked Raul, even though the Legion's MO is kidnapping and raping women, and the two most tragic events in Raul's past revolve around women he cared for getting kidnapped and raped. Raul of course neglects to mention this for no reason at all, in favor of focusing on "well their caravans sure are safe!" Like I give a shit about caravans.

Not to mention that *his* companion quest is largely rendered moot by his concerns ultimately being entirely unjustified. Raul's main problem is he worries he's too old for his guns, but if you encourage him to pick up his guns, he's totally fine. Turns out he wasn't too old after all.

I liked that the writer used Raul's age to his advantage. He's old enough to have flipped and and forth between the "holding on/letting go" schtick. But this didn't end up being the focus of his concerns. It was just an age thing, which went nowhere. Not to mention being a full-time Vaquero didn't magically make Raul forget how to repair shit if he ever felt like picking it up again. Eh, maybe that's the point. "Old School Ghoul" might just be about Raul flip-flopping again.

I mean how can you stand it? a mirelurk oneshotted me and I replay an hour of game only to find out something glitched, and I don't even know how far back I need to go to get unscrewed. Even if I did I get to redo the whole molerat den.

It's so annoying to redo this boring shit and I thought I could handle it but when all my carefully collected and planted food disappeared I just give up. This is fucking stupid.

I'm going to go back to my old game and saving every two seconds so at most I have to re-experience two goddammed seconds of this game.

You literally just made that up. The two ending slides affected by Heartache by the Number only discuss the ramifications it had on the NCR, the Crimson Caravans, the Van Graffs, and potentially the Gun Runners. Not Cass.

And yes, Cass does initially want to just go guns blazing, and you can dissuade her from it. Which is *technically* Cass "letting go" of that plan, but IMO that's pretty weak. It isn't choosing one of two distinct paths, it's just the method for traveling on a single one. Neither choice leads to any real consequence, and to act without consequence is boring and unrewarding.

Is it possible to build entirely lightning/energy damage? Want to be an Institute scientist named Tesla. Build a vault at the Airport after I crash the Brotherhood's ship with no survivors.

What? Thats a necessity for the settlement system.

You can even use Automatron to make robots to farm for you. I've got a massive tato plantation ran entirely by robots.

Can't you make a food processor to make all your food for you?

>>147235171

>>147235171
He means having them automatically harvested and stored instead of doing it yourself every day. Peons don't harvest the crops unlike extra water. They just farm it.

>>147235009
I'm not trying to argue Cass has 0 story. I'm arguing that hers is weaker compared to other characters'. And that makes her less interesting than them, to me, personally. I'm definitely not saying why OTHER people should dislike Cass. People can like characters for whatever the fuck reason they want. Boone's so popular because he's damn useful in fights, and that's fine and dandy with me. If people like Cass because they like her personality, or because they like redheads, or because they like how she's John Cassidy's daughter, well that's fine and dandy with me too.

I'm not trying to make definitive statements on the state of Fallout: New Vegas. I realize now that my rant came off as assertive, too final, and I apologize for any misunderstanding.

I'm just trying to say why I'm inclined to cut her from my crossover fanfiction gosh darn it.

>>147235382
I just took issue when you said she doesn't "let go" like everyone else because it's patently false. The simple fact of her dialog change and the perk after the quest denotes her letting go of her anger and bloodlust that she had prior. It's no different than Boone letting go of his deathwish.

You can harvest your own crops too.

>>147235260

Maybe with manufacturing extended. But you have to be at the settlement for it to run.

>>147235271

They do get harvested and stored. You can also harvest them to get a little extra. That farm generates like 90 tatos every hour. If you want to make vegetable starch (adhesive) in bulk quantities you will need to make a lot of corn, tato, and mutfruit farms.

If you're new to the game, I advise you to also build a giant water farm. Its a great way to earn caps and have for bartering with in general.

>>147235486

Already done that. The cash cow of Sanctuary, my first and only settlement.

Since when? I always have to pick the fucking things myself. I'll admit I haven't played since any of the DLC came out, but that's a fairly recent change if true.

Assaultrons, how do you kill them in open space?

>>147235486
Does waterfarming work on Survival? You'd think they would limit it to like 10 on there.

>>147235554

If you have 6 settlers and 6 food, you wont get anything. If you have 6 settlers and 24 food, the excess is stored in the workshop. Your settlers need to eat, too, anon.

Robots, however, don't need to eat. So anything they make is pure profit.

I'm pretty sure it just got stolen out of our luggage though, everyone the TSA has some sticky fingers depending on where you fly out of, and you can't do shit about it because they'll just blame it on the baggage handlers.

Hm, well, by far my favorites would be the New Vegas series by a person called zel. Their writing is fantastic, and I love the extra effort put into the world they created. I can honestly say that this is the only OC Courier in a fanfiction that I've really liked. I can't say enough how much I like these fanfictions. They're some of my favorite of all time.

Do take it all with a grain of salt, however. There's a few places the series will bend canon, but I don't think it's anything too severe. It's also important to keep in mind that much of the worldbuilding and headcanon of this series was devised *before* Honest Hearts was released. Why that's significant, I won't say, but you'll probably catch on.

Also, I should mention: The series pairs a gay Courier with Arcade. There's some sex, though the series is far from an excuse for porn. If it's really not your thing, then only read the first story in this list.

Lastly, important to note: the series never completed.

Face the Music and Dance
http://archiveofourown.org/works/771023
Chronologically the first story. A made-up scenario taking place two years after the First Battle of Hoover Damn. NCR Officers stay at the Ultra Luxe for a conference, but shit goes down. Written from multiple perspectives, but focuses heavily on Picus (Captain Curtis from Camp MacCarran).

A Courier story, featuring Arcade, Boone, Veronica, and ED-E. Touches on events like Repconn, Nelson, Fiend bounty hunting, and part of Boone's quest. This was the first story written, so it's a little rough in terms of editing, but it's no less pleasant to read.

I doubt its going to happen now after all this time, but we've still got two more DLCs.

I kinda doubt it at this point, though. If anything I bet Nuka World will involve Piper and the guy who sided with the Raiders that murdered her dad.

Beth is an ameriburger, yes? There's your answer.

There's also an interesting lack of religious symbols. Haven't even seen a single church with a proper cross. Probably because burgertards don't want to foment religious strife between the three, big world religions.*

Well then, I guess my settlement is going to have an accident that will be fatal to any living thing.

>>147239465

I like the settlement building, actually, but I feel it should not have been connected to the Minutemen or any part of the storyline. If I build a home, I want to do it on my own time, not for some cowboy who won't shut the fuck up.

>>147239465

Can anyone please tell me about the Piper incest-rumour?

I'm gonna go on a limb and say...if a companion is CLOSELY tied the main quest, they'll probably get in a DLC again. But then again Nick's VA already works for Bethesda and I think goes there every day for stuff.

And I would rather take Piper with me than someone like...ugh....Preston.

>>147239584
Speaking from experience, you don't sell all of that. My last main had several 100k purified water in a storage container back at my home base by the time I got bored with that save which took longer than I'd be proud to admit

>>147239643

The only reason Preston Garvey yet breathes the air in my Wasteland is because the game will not let me kill him.

I literally can't believe that nobody at Bethesda absorbed the qualities of New Vegas and mixed them with the good parts of 3 to make 4, it would have actually made a good game. Inb4 obsidishill or whatever, I dont care. NV was way better than 3 and if they had taken more inspo from it, 4 would have been better.

Minutemen should have been opposed to the Gunners and you should have had to choose between them, like with the Brotherhood, Railroad, and Institute. Five factions instead of four.

Pretty sure it came down to envy. NV was a better game than 3 despite Obsidian continually getting the short end of the stick. What's sad is that Obsidian will never work on a Fallout game again because they rightfully openly dogged Bethesda for what was wrong with New Vegas when it was released and petty envy on Bethesda's end.

>>147239759
Really? I can see the weapon modding in 4 as a development of the modding in NV.

>>147240157
What happens if you got L33T snipers in guard posts at high locations?

>>147240490
Doesn't matter. Your settlers are retarded. You could make it impossible for raiders to get in with walls, fill the rest of the settlement to cap with turrets and your settlers would still die.

>>147240490
People love to abandon their good positions. Your settlers have no concept of range so they just rush too close with most weapons.

>>147240605
How boring... Makes me even less wanna follow the Minutemen-arc.

It would be cool if you could issue various defensive strategies for the settlers. Create chain of commands etc...

>>147240685

Short-barreled combat shotguns with bayonets, then?

No, they'll just die before they can reach the enemy and will never hit anything.

There is still hope. New Vegas sold well and has a decent following of fans. 4 was also an astronomical success. People, autists and normies alike, like fallout. Beth would be mad not to give Obsidi another shot, and rumours have been circulating about New Vegas 2 or Fallout: New Orleans.

>>147241372
If it happens, it'll be the only Fallout game I buy from this moment forward honestly. I haven't picked up FO4 since before any the DLC came out even though I keep telling myself I will once the next one releases.

>>147241510
It's pretty mediocre overall. A decent timesink but not really scratching the fallout itch for me. Better than 3, worse than NV other than obvious improvements like graphics and performance.

I probably won't touch Fallout 5 if it ever comes. 4 was a mist4ke.

I got the mod that lets you find recordable holotapes to supplement sleeping. The game is too buggy to rely on sleeping alone, and having to find the holotapes still makes you limit your saves. Sort of lore friendly.

>>147241928
>>147241895
Actually, allying with them is much worse because Minutemen radiant quests that send you here will be bugged up the wazoo since Jacob Orden has no recorded dialogue for them. He will always come to you and start speaking in mute subtitles, then when you are finished with the quest it is impossible to turn in.

I only allied with them because Old Man Stockton was killed by raiders and so I couldn't complete Human Error any other way. Why the fuck isn't he essential? Who knows.

>>147243083

Wouldn't those cryo systems fail after a while? Since everyone died a few years after you went on ice.

>>147243191
No, the institute guys there turned off the cryo chambers for everybody but you and your wife, but didn't open the doors leaving everybody to suffocate to death.

>>147243251
everyone's still frozen when you get out

>>147243251

But even with all the extra power and cryo fuel, somewhere in a two hundred year period of no maintenance, something will fail.

>>147243321
Given that Father could remotely open your pod, its very implausible that the Institute didn't have some form of monitoring program installed there.

If anything started to break down, they could just send a few synths to repair it

>>147243321
In a 'real world' situation? Sure. But in the Fallout world a lot of untouched shit can still function 200 years later completely unharmed, the cryo chambers are no difference.

>>147239837
>I literally can't believe that nobody at Bethesda absorbed the qualities of New Vegas and mixed them with the good parts of 3 to make 4

-A MQ with multiple join-able factions

-DR is not a hybrid between DR and DT
-Some form of faction reputation(though in Fallout 4 its a hidden stat)
-Companions with backstories and quests

Fallout 4 hijacked most everything from NV

>>147243613
because NV is an Obsidian game, and like KOTOR2, NWN2, Alpha Protocol, and Dungeon Siege 3, its a bug ridden mess because Obsidian can't program anything more complex then an old school 2d isometric game

Is anyone else kind of mad some that companions don't leave you even when straight you side with their 'enemy'? I brought Piper along on my Institute playthrough expecting her to either try to sabotage me or attack me or just leave me, but even as I finished the game, she just gave me a couple of lines of dialogue about her being mad I sided with them, and we went on our marry way.

Why are companions in FO4 so shit? In New Vegas, give Boone an AMR or Veronica a Ballistic Fist and you can basically sit back and watch them mow down everything, even with 1 in Charisma.

But in 4, I can give companions the best weapons I can find and they are still completely useless. None of them can aim for shit. Only the Automatron robots come close to being good but they can't aim either. I have literally never seen any of my companions being useful in combat.

>>147243613
Because you have a all DLC esm loading after no DLC content? Just fire up xedit, it will tell you that:
>YUP - Base Game + All DLC.esm
is missing DM, HH, OWB, LR, ...
Also eat shit for not checking the dependencies before installing things.

>>147243579
True, they just forgot to steal the talent from Obsidian along with it. Obsidian's story was engaging, and all of the factions were fun to roleplay in.

So far I feel nothing but contempt for anything main quest related in 4.

>>147243579
I think what he meant to say was copy Fallout New Vegas well.

For all of the flaws of the NCR and corruption seeding into its leadership, you can see that the people on the frontline just want to keep those around them safe. That sensible altruism makes them a likeable faction.

Bethesda can't do morally grey. Look at MacCready in Fallout 4 who I'd argue is supposed to be the most middle ground companion of them all. If it wasn't for the outfit I'd consider him a fucking Raider based on his responses in most conversations. He's supposed to be cleaning up his act as a promise to his son, but nothing ever suggests he's even attempting it besides sometimes remembering not to swear. All of his likes come from you being an asshole and stealing shit.

>>147243957
>None of them can aim for shit
Yea, just give them tanky armor and melee weapons and shoot enemies while they're distracted. Companion aim is so shitty, even worse considering Fo4 enemies can somehow hit you consistently from really far away with their pipe pistols.

>>147243957
Dogmeat is useless after lvl 20, but I let him stick around because doggo is cute. Danse can wreck some serious shit with just about anything. The other companions might need a legendary or two to synergize with their traits or to shore up their shortcomings. Try giving Strong a Bloodied supersledge and you won't be disappointed.

>>147244469

So if you take every dog-related perk and deck him out in armor, he still isn't useful after 20?

>>147244203
yeah that's the problem with Bethesda's grey morality.

They seem to take the approach that grey morality means "A choice of two turds" rather than what's right based on perspective. For examples of this, look to the "moral" decision in the Pitt, the choice in Skyrim's Civil War and to a degree Fallout 4's main factions, although Fallout 4's factions are so underdeveloped and dull that it's difficult to even notice.

Nuka World is going to flesh out the Gunners more, right? We get little to no backstory about them other than 'they like money' and that they have a ranking system similar to the military. It would be cool if the leader of the gunners was in Nuka World.

>>147244000
>So far I feel nothing but contempt for anything main quest related in 4.
Odd, because thats exactly how I feel about NV's plot and factions.
By biggest problem with New Vegas's plot is that, as Sawyer himself has admitted, the game gives you no reason to go after Benny.

You are a courier who has worked the wasteland for years, and has likely gotten shot, or shot at, by any number of raiders or other hostile groups over the years, and yet its unlikely that they spend months tracking them, through hundreds of miles of hostile desert, not to mention a desert in the middle of a massive war, to track them down and take revenge.

Then, when you get to Vegas, every major faction jumps your dick for basically no reason other then "you walked to Vegas" and tell you that you are their only hope of winning the war, only to then send you on a bunch of rather pointless diplomacy mission that have nothing to do with actually winning the war.

None of it adds up at all, its a series of totally random non sequitur moments.

To make matters worse, none of the factions ever actually DO anything themselves, making all of their claims of being so great hollow.

And the companions are nothing but mindless robots who constantly complain about having life problems, yet refuse to take any action on them unless you drag them kicking and screaming, and then after its all over, they lack the personality to develop any sort of opinion on their own, and just default to whatever you tell them to feel, even if its obviously not in their best interest, like mindless robots.

Its pathetic that Mccready in Fallout 4, having made a 400 mile trip, gotten passwords, and done recon of the building he needs to raid to get the cure to his son's disease has done more about his life problems then most of the companions in NV combined.

>>147223853
why is this game so PC

is every game now just going to be "Muh gender" "muh oppression"

its only been a trend for about 2 years and its already tired as hell

>>147244610

It's raiders, not gunners. Gunners should have been diametrically opposed to the Minutemen, with you joining Garvey or going to Quincy to join the Gunners, in my opinion.

>>147244598
You bring up the civil war, but I think that's actually a point bethesda got right.

You can take the slowly decaying empire, and choose a slow death for man, or you can choose ulfric, that might actually save man, but also could destroy it much sooner.

If you only go on the surface, sure, it's a choice between strong empire that embraces diversity and racist twat who might be a manchurian candidate.

But the deeper into the lore you go, the more compelling ulfric gets

>>147244792
Way to write a better story than Bethesda. It would have been a good choice between people's freedom and people's safety. But even if Nuka World is about Raiders, it doesn't mean they can't flesh out the Gunners any. For such a large faction, they're really lacking in interaction.

Does Nuka World let me be a huge asshole and kill everybody?

If yes, it's an instant buy.

If no, guess I'm not touching this game ever again.

>>147244901
>But the deeper into the lore you go, the more compelling ulfric gets
Ulfic actually gets LESS compelling the more you go into lore, because a massive point about the lore is that the gods, especially Lorkhan, have always divinely favored the Empire, and has always sent mortal avatars to destroy the elves.

The Dark Elves, the most Lrokhanic of the elves, got Nerevar to help force the hand of the Dwemer into destroying themselves

The Imperials got their Shezarrine Pelinal, who helped slay the Ayiled taskmasters.

The Redguard have their Hoonding, to help them drive the left-handed elves into the ocean.

The Empire is divinely pre-destined to win. Making Ulfric's case of them not doing anything hallow.

Is there a mod to make it so companions don't factor into sneak attempts?
I don't wanna be alone. ;_;

>>147245060

Nuka World advertises the ability to go full dothraki and lead an army of raiders to enslave the 'Wealth.

>>147245181
try giving them an armor with chameleon legendary mod. i haven't tried it if they can sneak but I saw piper turn invisible with the chameleon on.

>>147245181
Companions don't already.

All companions come, default, with all ranks of the sneak perk, and them getting discovered doesn't make you discovered

>>147244610
It's sad, really. It's strongly hinted at the Gunners being a descendant of the pre-war military, and that there is some factional infighting. It seriously looks like they were supposed to be a faction, and got dropped in the push for release.
