You will not get what you want from this companion. It will not be a girl, cait is too close to raider grill already. Bethesda logic will probably give us another male ghoul in the vein of Charon who is assigned to be your bodyguard in nuka world so you dont get fucked up.

>I want to do an unarmed Survival Playthrough with brass nucks etc and maybe making use of idiot savant and very low int. Any tips for how to not die instantly upon entering combat? I'll probably have to be on drugs the whole time.

This playthrough will suck immensely. You absolutely must have 9 Str and Rooted in your build at the start, or you won't kill shit.

Blitz is another must have perk, but you can sort of get by at the beginning by using your companion to draw fire.

1 Int is the way to go. Idiot Savant is good. Lifegiver is a must.

I recommend rolling with Power Armor even though you can't use power fists in it. You can however use Pain Train to knock enemies down and you will die a lot less.

Either that or just go stealthy route, it's pretty easy once you get Blitz and Ninja, you will one shot almost everything with 10x crit eventually.

Pic makes me really sad you can't play a cyborg of any kind in 4.

Maybe its to make up for the fact that in NV you could effectively role play a priest of mars with the number of cybernetic options.

Given that all the vanilla cybernetics in NV were just
+special
+health regen
and
+DT

And upping your special forever with the perk system, and health regen is like in 3 different perks, and +DT is fucking everywhere...

they really wouldn't serve a point.

I can see why Bethesda didn't do anything with them DESU.

>>150006725
People keep telling me it took New Vegas, Skyrim etc. a long time to pick up on mods but it seriously did not feel like it. I especially remember mods like Apocalypse - Magic of Skyrim coming out very quickly after release.

>>150006725
The CK is just 6-8 months

>>150006831
> Apocalypse - Magic of Skyrim
hat a hilariously shit mod

>>150006903
Are you joking right now or what? Apocalypse is the best magic mod for Skyrim, it's the most stable and the most lore friendly. Or do you install stupid shit like Colorful Magic?

>>150006861
And? Skyrim was getting great stuff by this point. At the very least there was stuff like new lore-friendly items, system overhauls and stuff instead of this painfully uninspired shit.

>>150006831
A magic mod for a game that already has a magic system is hardly an achievement, and it took 6 months to come out.

>>150006861
and its pretty teribad

>>150007093
Skyrim's mods in its 6-8 month period was also dogshit

NV is an exception since FO3 was already out for quite some time

So, Vault 88. I'm not seeing any way to build a contiguous vault down the slope to the North Sector. I'm not sure it's possible to build a contiguous vault down the East Sector either. It should be possible to build a contiguous vault down into the North-East Sector, but it'll be fiddly. Or am I just missing something obvious?

>>150007060
>it's the most stable and the most lore friendly
Its literallt just a bunch of random over done magic spells, most of which never appeared in any previous game, nor were even suggested to exist.

But that's wrong you fucking retard. 50% of the spells are based on spells from Daggerfall and Morrowind. The other 50% are better versions of spells from the base game with new effects that can actually be used late game.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

If you were just wearing the Silver Shroud costume, like you _should_ have been throughout the quest anyway, you could just use the "speak as shroud" option flip the whole situation in your favor without any speech checks. So do that, then pop a psychojet and drill sinjin in the head with a plasma sniper or something.

If you were half as good at RP as you delude yourself into thinking you are, then you wouldn't have started helping him in the first place. A good raider would have told him to fuck off.

But since you decided to help him, your RP went down the drain. In fact you're the sole reason he is there at all. Until you came along, no one else in Goodneighbor was retarded enough to go along with Kent and his fantasies. He would have continued on happily in solitude without you going around the Commonwealth murdering people he judged to be evil doers.

3 is for fucking retards, and furthermore mostly fucking retards who have never played a fallout before or after it. Kids too, literal kids whose first 'serious' game it was.

NV is basically great. Aside from technical stuff and some gameplay things but they're shit in all gamebryo games.

4 is for faggots, although its raw gameplay is better than NVs and miles better than 3's. Its storytelling is almost as shit as 3's and its decision to voice the protagonist has steered the series in a venomously stupid direction, possibly forever, as it may be expected by new fans in later iterations of fallout.

I mean what even is your favourite modern fallout? Can you even explain to me SOME things you like about whichever one it may be?

There is a very autistic obsession 1-3 users of this general have with jabbing fingers at everyong yelling 'NMA SPOTTED! NMA SPOTTED!" even when it's not relevant.

Pro tip, I actually quite like 4, it's a good timesink. I just think NV is better.

They didn't just make a good game. They made a masterpiece in New Vegas.
Even with Bethesda sabotaging it with a miniscule dev time, no bug testing and paying off reviews to score it lower than the required metascore it still ended up being a masterpiece in game design.

>>150027908
They can

>>150028071
I fully agree with this. Unironically, New Vegas is probably the best RPG released of last generation.

Sure I'm biased in the sense that I love Fallout's world, but sue me, we're in the fallout gen.

>>150028309
Name three good games from Bethesda.

>>150024884
3 is for people that liked oblivion, and heard of those old fallout games but never played them and didn't care for Infinity Engine game play.

NV is for those that liked 3, but also those that probably played 1 and 2, and liked that you are playing a continuation of the actual lore.

4 is for those that still to this day, and probably against all reason, sort of like bethesda open world gameplay. probably mostly for the modded potential we saw in skyrim, and the fun you can have modding it yourself.

BoS is for those that have a need for an authoritarian to tell you what to do and how to think, wile you virtue signal your benevolence.

>>150024720
All vault pieces work as wiring, but you need to place down the vault conduits to power nearby lighting and other equipment that needs proximity power

They also allow you to wire up anything that needs specific wiring

>>150028495
>4 is for those that still to this day, and probably against all reason, sort of like bethesda open world gameplay.
So absolute braindead, mouthbreathing, drooling retards with a brain the size of a pea who enjoy getting treated like a monkey by their jewish overlords scheming to make them addicted via cheap tactics and power fantasy gameplay?

4 legitimately might be the worst game released in the last decade.

>>150028495
4 is also for redditards and minecraft autists who wanted some gunplay and the odd quest with their bizarre autistic buildtism.

The problem with Fallout 4 is also, admittedly, it's best advancement.
The gameplay is too fast for the Fallout 3 worldspace and it brings the repetition to light.

>>150028071
>with a miniscule dev time
18 months isn't too bad, but considering the state of the engine and a near-personalized devkit gave them a huge disadvantage.

>no bug testing
They had to use Bethesda's QA department, which let all sorts of shit slip through like a guaranteed crash if you left Goodsprings.

>and paying off reviews to score it lower than the required metascore
That's just silly. It would be cheaper to give Obsidian their bonus than pay off everyone.

>>150028071
>and paying off reviews to score it lower than the required metascore
This is the most fucking dumb as shit conspriacy thoery ever.

NV got a fucking 84 because Obsidian had never made a game that got above an 85 since their very first game, which I think onyl got an 85.

NV was their highest rated game in YEARS because OBsidian just fucking blows at making solid games.

Unfortunately there is simply no way to ban it. There are too many 4 fans (or at least players) who post here too regularly. It would cause a shitstorm not seen on a board since that retarded /a/ mod starting banning people posting risque images even if they were basically SFW.

Also, the jannies and mods have no real inclination to do it. It's not in their interest for any reason really. Oh, and they don't pay much attention to specific generals, more like they'll dip in and out of each every now and then, and also prune /v/ accidental stuff off the main board

The sidequests, though? Kinda crap, and there's so few of them. They're too formulaic and bland, so much that the Silver Shroud is the only one that stands out and it's just because of the dialogue.
The Museum of Witchcraft was probably the most disappointing, and the Dunwich Borers area is too tame.

If someone wrote a book, then sent it to the editor under the agreement that the editor would proofread it for typos, but then the book is released and there are still typos - who is to blame? The editor, whose job it was to fix typos, or the writer, whose finger slipped once or twice?

Hint: You're a fool if you think it's the writer's fault.

Do you have any mods installed?

I have this weird headcanon I'm obsessed with where Deacon from the railroad is the real some survivor and you're a synth given his original face.
Several reasons:
>He's seen following you as early as your first entry to diamond city, despite you being a literally who at that point in time
>There's a railroad outpost with the "ally" sign near the vault. This could be referring to you as his pet project or to Deacon himself
>The railroad admin terminal has entries from desdemona and previous leaders of the railroad. A mysterious "Johnny D" character influence things from the sidelines and is later replaced by Deacon. Desdemona also mentions Deacon knowing certain things even she doesn't know, as well as a "project wanderer"
>Deacon's final affinity story closely resembles a case mentioned in the previous terminal, suggesting he just inserted himself. Also explains why he gets emotional as he might have been involved in that case.
>Deacon has changed gender before, meaning even if you picked a female this still applies
>military experience explains his covert ops experience and how he lasted this long in an organization with such low life expectancy.
>he makes a lot of pre war reference
>DiMA suggests you are a synth and one of the dialogue options hints that you can't remember anything before the opening sequence
Its possible that Deacon was freed by the railroad or got out some other way and joined to fight the institute after realizing his son was taken by them. Maybe he had faith the institute or even Shaun would come back for him and so created you to take his place.

>>150030904

That is bizarrely detailed, and also bizarrely possible. I'm shocked at how convincing that is and how many ridiculous holes in the plot it at least somewhat fixes.

Could it be possible that Beth intended it this way and then its actual revelation was cut due to time or logic constraints?

I've long since thought that the SS must be a synth, and Far Harbour pretty much confirmed it for me. My personal headcanon was that the Institute's final and greatest project was a synth with near limitless potential - one step above a Courser, the 'Survivor' model, which adapts to its surroundings over time. Only one model was created, and its memories were designed to make it seek out the institute naturally and become swayed to its cause. This can either succeed or fail based on player choice.

No, Bethesda is good at meta shit, but they always make the meta shit immediately obvious.

We know the SS isn't a synth because hes effect by radiation, hunger, and disease, which Gen 3 synths are not to any noticeable degree.

Curie is affected by hunger though, isn't she? I swear I heard her mention something about needing to eat.

Ah I see, that makes sense, so for infiltration's sake the institute may have programmed gen 3s to feel the need to eat and drink and therefore shit and piss, so they seem human.

It perhaps then follows logically to create a synth that fully imitates adult human life, down to the minutia such as being susceptible to radiation.

Remember, Shaun logic is fucking ass backwards, so he might have specifically wired in the SS's radiation vulnerability AFTER the creation of the synth. Far Harbour at least to my eyes openly acknowledges that one way to interpret the story is that you are a synth.

That would be impossible due to the FEV used to create Gen 3 synths.

All FEV mutated creatures are immune to radiation, and are ,in fact, healed by it.

>>150032530
To be fair perks can make you highly resistant to radiation. Aquaboy or whatever it's called pretty much cancels out most of the radiation you encounter. Also remember that your SS doesn't actually die at any point, you just reload. It could be that the effects on you are only on the surface. Also DiMA mentions the only way to know is to find a synth component. Beth is really vague about synths though with lots of contradictory information.

This desu, it's all shrouded in vagueties so that they don't have to bash out the nitty gritty details of what the fuck is up with synths.

And yes, FEV created beings are healed by rads - but remember this is Beth, the same company who made Fallout 3 with all its insane logical contradictions. There's tons of shit that breaks lore in 3, so it's not inconceivable they fucked up in 4 with Synths.

>BoS
You mean the faction they repeatedly stated in-game several times was a mass deviation from what they were like on the East Coast due to the Elder's personal change of heart, and were EVERYONE from Rothchild, to Owyn's own daughter Sarah, all disagreed with him on his changes?

Yes, they made it 100% abundantly clear that the BoS was not like they were on the east coast, that all their changes were because of Owyn, and they made it clear basically everyone disagreed with it, but still followed him out of being brainwashed to serve their elder, and out of respect.

And even then, they had a large contingent of BoS break off and form the Outcasts becuase they still wanted to follow the old ways.

Not to mention the fact that what Owyn did was no different then what the Midwestern Brotherhood of steel did, and thus, canon shows his change of heart was not exactly uncommon.

>Enclave
The Enclave in Fallout 3 were doing, quite literally, the EXACT same thing they were in Fallout 2.

The only difference is that Autumn wised up, saw how stupid the "genocide everyone" plan was, and told Eden to go fuck himself, and took the rest of the Enclave with him to forge a new Enclave order based on the word of wastelanders.

If anything, Fallout 3 made the enclave look 100 times less retarded since they weren't trying some dumb mustache twirling genocide plot like in fallout 2.

>and its inclusion of Super Mutants
We already know that FEV was in several facilities before the war, not only West-Tek proper, but Mariposa.

Its also basic scientific procedure to have multiple teams, working in isolation from each other, working on the same project, to prevent self-confirmation biases from preventing the team from moving forward.

We also know from Fallou2 that the Enclave was behind the Vault experiment, so it makes sense they would want their super solid serum kept safe for future use

Except for the Pitt. At any point does any of them think to just leave the radiation infested shithole? Nope, stealing a baby or enslave a fuckload of people are clearly the only logical options here. Every time I did that DLC I wanted to just kill them all and put them out of their retarded misery.

>Institute has the thinnest of motivations for anything and introduces a bunch of bullshit that doesn't really gel with Fallout's established lore
Not really. The Institute is simply "what would happen if America didn't fuck itself and the world over and kept advancing technologically.

>Prewar America is a white picket fence fantasy
Which is how its been portrayed since Fallout 3

>Super mutants are still brutish fucknards who can't process more than a few words at a time
Which is a result of the Institute getting their FEV from Vault 87.

Also, Strong, Fist, virgil, and several other named super mutants prove that idea entierly wrong.

>T-60 armor exists for some reason even though T-51 armor was established by every previous game (and even FO4 in some of the loading screens) as the apex of prewar power armor design
what is protoype PA design.

Are you really so thick as to think the government made T-51 and then went "YEP THIS IS THE BEST ITS EVER GET, NOT GONNA SEE IF WE CAN PUSH IT FURTHER!"

We know from various terminal entries and notes, as well as what Todd said pre-release, that Boston was a major military testing ground for things like the Fat-man, t-60 armor, and vertibirds.

Except all the wasteland around the Pitt is just as bad, and long distance travel requires a large store of resources to accomplish, resources the people of The Pitt didn't have.

This argument of

ignores the fact that you NEED resources to move.

You think people who cross the deserts of the southwest didn't have a mass store of food, water, and supplies before they left, and just accomplished it by surviving off the land the whole trip or something?

I'll give you the steal mill. That being said the fact that the slaves want to stay and keep the thing running rather than escape shows that they're just as much greedy bastards as the raiders enslaving them, except they're even more shortsighted and steal babies. Regret siding with Ashur even less now tbqh

>>150035327

What would be the point of leaving? Aren't a majority of the people infected with the AIDS already anyway? All it'd do is move it out of the Pitt which for all I can see is a containment zone.

>>150035948
>Except there's a railroad tunnel that leads all the way to the capital wasteland
wrong, in fact, if you go back and reread the message, the apth to the Pitt is a series of railroad tunnels, partially collapsed highways, and other things, and its especially noted supplies will be scarce and nearly nonexistent on your trip there

Its not one tunnel.

>>150036209
theres no reason to regret siding with ashur at all

he was 100% right in everything

>>150036209
They can't escape because they have fuckall supplies and their raider masters are watching them, and the escape route like hawks. Also said escape route was mined to shit and back I remember right.

Are there any mods that add more detailed gore (such as organs, veins, etc)? Improved Blood Splatter ain't cutting it for me.

I agree with you there. The Institute feels so out of place...but you get the feeling it's supposed to be; I just think they ended up hitting all the wrong notes. They had potential to be a unique, interesting science faction, but instead we got fake morality, robot clone gorillas, toy rayguns and safe spaces. Really a let-down
>Prewar America is a white picket fence fantasy
Intro outright disproves this. If anything, Sanctuary Hills speaks volumes about how polarized wealth in America had become in the years prior to the Great War.
>Super mutants are still brutish fucknards who can't process more than a few words at a time
Because the Institute are a bunch of morons, and never seemed to fully grasp the effects of FEV despite dipping wastelanders for well over a century.
>T-60 armor exists for some reason even though T-51 armor was established by every previous game (and even FO4 in some of the loading screens) as the apex of prewar power armor design
T-51 was the apex of pre-war Power Armor. T-60 was only in its prototype stages when the bombs fell, plus Boston was a major asset to the U.S. Military. Now, why do the Brotherhood solely use T-60 now...? No idea.

Actually they DID grasp the effects of FEV, which is exactly WHY they dipped people.

Its stated they were dipping people to imrpove various strains they were working on to an ideal state.

they got those those strains to an ideal state, they sought pure human DNA, aka Shaun.

After getting Shaun the first Gen 3 synths came out.

Gen 3 synths are, quite literally, artificially made super mutants with no visible mutations.

the Institute quite literally mastered FEV to the point that they achieved what The Master sought, but never reached.

I wouldn't necessarily say that.
Synths lack certain characteristics found in Super Mutants, such as hyper-regeneration and psychological abnormalities commonly associated with most exposure to FEV.

Also, why did they continue to dip wastelanders, even after obtaining Shaun's DNA? It amounted to absolutely nothing.

>>150037364

That's the big mystery isn't it.

Knowing Shaun, and how much he fucking planned shit out, he kept ordering people be dipped simply to cause Virgil, or someone else, to lose their shit and break out so he could release his mom/dad to find them, and use the information they get from that person to reach the Institute.

Shaun sent the order to have Kellogg kill Virgil, and Shaun says your crossing paths with Kellogg was something he set up, he probably even set up Virgil escaping just SO he could set that up.

>>150036516

I'm at work at the moment so I can't be assed to reply to this all but the white picket fence thing- they never really show any have-nots in the prewar bit. They never mention food riots, Canada's annexation, the riots over FEV in the air, shit like that. Those are big setting elements to miss.

As for t-60, I could have stomached it if it weren't just inflated t-45 armor, or if it had been produced by the brotherhood post-war using tooling designed for t-45 armor or something.

Real talk, though, Zimmer did say Harkness was a "prototype", right?

And we know there are multiple iterations of Gen III Synth (the first ones apparently had endoskeletons, whereas the new ones don't even need to eat or sleep to stay alive.) Who's to say they didn't consider the possibility of a reproductive-inclined model in the event of some kind of disease outbreak or something that would otherwise kill off most everything in the Institute? Harkness probably isn't the only one. My bets are on Danse and Curie

1. His entire point about ariborne FEV is wrong as Avellone specifically said in the Fallout Bible that airborne FEV wasn't a thing, and that all post-war mutations are the result of radiation only, something Tim Cain also confirmed, and something BEthesda themselves have also said.

His entire first paragraph is literally based on a false assumption that airborne FEV exists when it doesn't.

2. His point about Big Mt's teleportation ignores the fact that Big MT needed an entirely satellite, as big as the Institute's teleporer chamber, to teleport people. So Big Mt did achieve any better teleportation there.

Not to mention Big MT's teleporter could only teleport back to the satellite, whereas the Institute's could teleport back anywhere.

3. His third paragraph about Curie is entirely misleading, as it implies The Institute was ever TRYING to cure all disease, which they were not. curie can't beat them in something they never attempted.

4. His point about the Shi is equally misleading, as it ignores the fact that the Shi's plantlife can go crazy and kill everyone there, something the Institute never had a problem with. Hes also wrong in the idea that they can make vrtibirds, nothing says they can, his point about repairing power armor is nullified by the fact that Fallout 4 made it to where anyone can, and his point about nuclear power ignores the fact that the Institute modified a pre-war reactor to generate literally endless power forever far outstripping the Shi.

5. His rant about the FEV cure is also straight up lies. He said it took the Institute 200 years to cure FEV when
A. They only got FEV 110 years ago
B. They never TRIED to make a cure
C. The guy who made the cure did so on his free time, and made a cure that was far better then the original as it didn't need the subject';s original DNA to reverse the process.

It cant take them 200 years to make a cure for something they didn't have for half that time, and even then, never tried to cure.

6. While its true AIs were developed before the war, its specifically stated in Fallout 1/2 that those AIs all went mad and killed themselves in insanity.

The Institute are the first people to developed AI that isn't totally crazy and suicidal, showing they improved on it there.

this is ignore the fact no one makes a big deal that the devloped AI, nor does anyone claim they were the first ones to do it.

So hes just ranting about shit that has nothing to do with anything the Institute claims to have accomplished.

>>150038998
wed get an interesting plotline from bethesda, for once.

i dont want it to go full supernatural though, thats what made the dunwich building cool was it was so out of the ordinary for how the rest of fallout 3 was set up.

it'd be boring if everything just became supernatural all the time.
