lol

I saved this one

Also they really should have given Vertibirds some sort of perk that makes them invincible to small arms fire, similar to how vehicles work in Planetside 2. You shouldn't be able to take out a helicopter with a pistol unless you somehow hit the pilot.

I bet it wouldn't even be that hard to give vertibirds a "perk" that makes them take 0 damage from certain weapons

>>172149537
I'm not saying they don't break down, I'm saying they're just as reliable as anything else. Gen 2s can easily replace Gen 3s in the Institute.

No, that's because the Institute treats them like robots. They're not interested in having synths do everything by themselves, because they don't believe they can.

No, Sturges, they guy who helps you build a teleporter. The terminal thing is just part of the Fallout 4 Adventure Line.
Also, everyone at Acadia is a Synth, including the guy(s?) that help maintain DiMA's memories. Clearly they can do more than menial tasks.

They have a Synth Retention Bureau. An entire division of the Institute dedicated to stoping Synths from escaping. I'd say its a major problem.
Hell, in the RR ending they revolt and blow up the whole thing.

They're isolated, yes, but they only operate on scientist's orders.

There is work other than physical work (which can be done by Gen 2s just as well).

>Actually, she has only spent the last few year studying synths.
"I've dedicated my life to devising a test to detect these hidden synths."
To find out IF they don't age. Again, that one line is only mentioned in relation to Synth Shaun.

>Except they are, and its even stated as such.
They aren't and it isn't. You can see for youself by taking a Synth to radiated water or shooting them with a Gamma gun.

>being able to sleep =/= they NEED to sleep

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/The_Institute_terminal_entries
As such, the unit's synthetic biology is that of someone overweight and grossly out of shape. A mem wipe would kill any psychological weaknesses attributed to self-perceived old age, but that body? Lost cause.

Goddamn, I can't wait for Bethesda to get their shit together, make a 1:1 sized map and add cars already.

I think I'm going to turn Cvrie into a synth, she just has too many pathing problems as a bot. She can't even ride the vertibird with me and dies to mooks trying to take potshot at me because she spawns besides them when they aggro and some of them have mini-nukes. Which is better, anons? SynthCvrie or RoboCvrie?

ps. Can I use the Institute's teleportation tech as fast travel in survival mode akin to BoS's vertibird?

I don't know if dragbody is lurking but I have a request.

I'm not the type to beg but I've been searching for a horse mod for NV for a long LONG time. around last year you posted a picture of a horse companion and was wondering if you could send me the mod even if it's not actually rideable or finished.

If you don't want to upload it here I sent you a message on the nexus if you want to PM it to that. I promise on my life I would not share it with anyone. I know you probably have no reason to care but it would really mean a lot to me to finally have a horse in my favorite game.

>>172150565
Look at what Bethesda and other builders have done, and then try to copy it.

>>172151046
>Gen 2s can easily replace Gen 3
Except they aren't because they need constant repair while Gen 3's do not due to the FEV in their system keeping them at peak at all the time.

>They're not interested in having synths do everything by themselves, because they don't believe they can.
No one said they are interested in having synths do everything, only that they are interested in having them do all the manual labor.

>Sturges, they guy who helps you build a teleporter.
All Struges does is tell you what parts you need, and push a button. YOU are the one who puts it all together.

>including the guy(s?) that help maintain DiMA's memories.
Which were very likely told how by DiMA himself. Any robot can follow basic orders if they have someone to constantly tell them how to do it.

>An entire division of the Institute dedicated to stoping Synths from escaping.
And, as Father explains, they only do that to keep synths out of the general populace in order to keep synth paranoia down.

Father himself doesn't really care about the synths escaping, he cares more about people finding synths in the general populace and trying to retaliate against The Institute

>but they only operate on scientist's orders.
And they give them the order of "keep this shit functional", and leave them too it.

>There is work other than physical work
Sure, but that's not what synths are for. Synths are for digging, cooking, cleaning, scavanging, and all the other tasks actual people don't want to do.

>"I've dedicated my life to devising a test to detect these hidden synths."
And then she goes on to say that Covenant has only been around for a few years. Dedicating your life to something =/= you have spent all of your life before that doing it. Only that in some part of your life you dedicated yourself to this thing.

You seem to have a problem with taking common phrases in the most literal possible fashion when they have never been used that way.

Absolutely not true. They're just saying it's not worth bringing him back since he was made in the image of fat old McDonough. In that very same entry:

"Given its relative age and physical condition (not to mention the danger inherent in an Infiltrator unit's discovery), further lifespan estimated at two weeks maximum."

>C. Arre immune to age, don't need to sleep, and are resistance to most disease
This is conflicting information with Fo4 lore.

The most advanced thing a synth has done is DiMA, who just uses pre-war computer banks to store all his memories since his brain is limited.

>Absolutely not true. They're just saying it's not worth bringing him back since he was made in the image of fat old McDonough. In that very same entry:
His lifespan being only two week is due to him being made a fat bastard, which makes him unstable to survive in a combat situation.

Not that hes somehow old.

>This is conflicting information with Fo4 lore.
No it isn't, you just have a bad habit of taking some wasteland doctors statements as irrefutable fact when they are not.

You seem like the same kind of person who would believe that because the wasteland doctor in Fallout 1 said something other radiation had to be behind animal mutations, it must be true, despite the fact we have been told radiation is the only cause.

>Plus, it's like hes praising synths as replacements for man, while in the Institute they're just used for manual labor
Are you implying that the benefits given to synths wouldn't, at some point, also be given to themselves, once they were sure they had perfected them?

>>172152787
Companions are nice just because of their commentary. There's also companion-specific interactions with NPCs, like people hating on Nick, Piper offering to do a scoop in Goodneighbor, etc.

Piper does that in most major towns, including Bunker hill, where she will tyr to question someone on how Bunker Hill's system of paying off raiders with money just leads to raiders having better guns.

Curie will also try to ask various wasteland docotrs about scientific periodicals and universities since she doesn't seem to understand those don't exist anymore.

They teleport behind you if they can't. They also get stuck on cars that have been slightly moved by physics because the game doesn't account for that.

>>172153425
Whats funny is that the problem with vertibirds in the vanilla game is that for some reason, while they have level 20, 30, 40, and 50, variants of veritibrds, only the level 20 version ever spawn except for once in a blue moon when a level 50 vertibird will.

What makes it even more pereplxing is that the bug was reported to the unofficial patch team, and Arthmoor looked at the vertibird spawn lists, and could find nothing wrong with them.

The game simply just DOESNT spawn the stronger/high level vertibirds for some explainable reason outside of a very few random events when you get past like level 100 when ONE level 50 one might appear.

>>172151010
Fuck. This reminds me of seeing Kellog for the second time.

That vertibirds were exceptionally hard to kill by everything Fallout 3 save the Tesla Cannon is telling. Why they failed to recreate such conditions is beyond me or anyone else I imagine.

>>172152032
>Except they aren't because they need constant repair
It's unclear how many resources a Gen 3 consumes vs a Gen 2. Gen 3s need to "perform basic self maintenance" according to H2-22, which I take it means their basic needs (food, water, sleep etc).
And again, there's the whole escaping issue.
Also, if you phase out Gen 3s you can focus on improving Gen 2s so they're even more reliable.

>only that they are interested in having them do all the manual labor.
>all the other tasks actual people don't want to do.
Gen 2s. See above.

>YOU are the one who puts it all together.
It's tricky because its a game mechanics vs lore thing, but he's playing the same role as any other faction's scientist. He also gets the Institute Network Holotape and does the same thing as Tinker Tom and Ingram.

>And, as Father explains, they only do that to keep synths out of the general populace in order to keep synth paranoia down.
Father himself doesn't really care about the synths escaping, he cares more about people finding synths in the general populace and trying to retaliate against The Institute
Do share details. I do not recall this conversation or Father's fear of wastelanders.

>And they give them the order of "keep this shit functional", and leave them too it.
That's pure speculation on your part. For all we know it's the same thing they tell Gen 2s.

>And then she goes on to say that Covenant has only been around for a few years
Plenty of time to determine her results, plus she could've operated elsewhere previously.

My main complaint with that map, is the Vault 13/15 and Shady Sands placements. Even if you just have it based on FO1, they should be closer together and slightly west of their positions. Going by FO2, they should be much farther west than they are; this is also better for overall lore, as them being that far east, there would be no way New Californians would not have found New Vegas before the early 2270s. Also Dayglow should be farther south, I thought it was in San Diego (which should be on the coast west of The Glow).

The only other thing really bad is Buena Vista; even going by Tactics map which does misplace it farther south than it should be, the FO:T map still doesn't have it as far south as New Mexico, it's Alamosa or San Luis Valley at best. Buena Vista is almost straight west from Cheyenne Mountain.

>>172142823
He's a fucking idiot then, considering the region the Legion controls was fucking known for Gold and Silver booms, and that the Legion is built around slavery (where the harsh conditions of mining were probably the first uses of slave labor). And considering from a gameplay perspective, with all the casinos being able to cash out in Legion coin, there is a lot of potential coinage in circulation (even outside of Legion territory). Not that conquest loot wouldn't be the primary economic driver of the Legion, assuming it's the only economic aspect of a faction that has sustained itself for 30 years with relatively stabilty, is just asinine, and seems like a handwaving response.

None since they don't need to eat, and the FEV in their system keeps them biologically perfect at all times.

>And again, there's the whole escaping issue.
Which isn't an issue as the number that escape is very low.

>Also, if you phase out Gen 3s you can focus on improving Gen 2s
They already spent decades working on Gen 2's to their limit. They can't take them any further. That is why they made Gen 3's.

Worthless, see above.

>but he's playing the same role as any other faction's scientist.

Shaun: Because there are forces on the surface that could pose a threat to us, and only a fool ignores a possible threat. We might diminish that danger by correcting the false perception that we intend some great harm to mankind.

>For all we know it's the same thing they tell Gen 2s.
Sure they do, Gen 3's just don't need any oversight, or repair.

This is headcanon, and we know from the notes in the lab that they end up killing everyone they capture pretty quickly, meaning, she has never had any real time to see the long term effects of starving a synth.

With Sawyer? That autismal history buff? I doubt it. They probably outlined every societal relevant detail.

Sayer is the guy who point blank admitted that House doing nothing but sitting on his ass for 100 year was the result of them forgetting they changed when NV took place(originally it was before Fo2 and 3, then they moved it after Fo3)

and they totally forgot about updating it.

Which led to the situation where House implausibly erases all the tirbal identity of the tribes of the Vegas are in under 7 years time

Something even Sawyer admitted was an implausible mistake.

Not really since bethesda still doesn't have a fluid transition between inside and outside cells like it's the late 90s

Even if they did it wouldn't hog much resources

Just place a flag on the player if he has a stolen item on him and trigger aggro once he leaves a certain radius
It would be THAT easy

>>172158015
well. they excel at anti radiation gear.

>>172159220
>>172159352
Maybe turn on aggro if you hold item that is marked for theft for more than [x] seconds? NPC could say stuff like "put that down" or "it's not yours, put it down"

It worked in Gothic 2 where if you unsheathed weapon in city, you would eventually get aggro few warnings later.

>>172159646
>NPC could say stuff like "put that down" or "it's not yours, put it down"
They already do this, and in Skyrim and Fallout 4, if you take a low value item, the NPCs will just walk up to you and take it from your inventory.

Fair enough on some points, but regarding the resource wars having everything depleted, then how do you explain Redding in FO2? I think it is plausible enough that in the earthquakes and geographic shifts from the great war, that some undetected or inaccessible resources would become available. I'm not saying the Legion has a mining industry by any means, but it wouldn't be implausible that they control a working mine or two within their domain. There's gotta be something being used by those supposed secure and safe trade routes, and it can't all be food and healing powder.

I still don't know why they did that, there was some decent underwater exploration in Oblivion and Morrowind.

>>172172307
Because underwater combat makes no freaking sense.

outside of very thin blades, the force needed to push something like the big ass warhammers and other XBAWKS HUEG! weapons they frequently use in TES would be beyond the character.

The resistance force of the water would make using anything but a dagger as a weapon basically ineffective.

And they aren't going to design a whole lockout system when it would never get used. like how underwater combat in Oblivion was basically useless outside of the like handful of treasure chests they slapped in random places.

>>172176223

/v/ heavily prefers New Vegas and there's plenty of threads that start up as discussing faction choices and characters and evolve into basically generals, whereas here you have like 1-2 NV posts in the general

Yo how do I find random vendors? I've been swapping between campfires and settlements for 2 hours now and still can't find Cricket or Rylee.

>>172176890
I think the main thing is that if you come to /vg/, it's for a specific general that you know exists. You don't casually browse /vg/ like one can with /v/. The people who post in those threads on /v/ don't have a reason to come to /vg/, so they don't.

>>172177041
Wait in Bunker Hill for 24 hours. That should give you a new trader every time.

>>172176448
Dude come on, it's because of the following

- Bethesda's nonsensical East Coast lore
- nonexistent dialogue system that destroyed the quest structure that is present in the first 2 games as well as in NV
- switching to a terrible new perk system instead of the perfectly good one where you could level the skills you wanted and pick the perks you wanted when you had invested enough points in a certain skill

It's the setting and the quest structure and RPG elements. If NV didn't have the character creation sequence with skills, perks and traits, the Ghost Town Gunfight quest with several ways of completion and allegiance that functions like the dialogue and quest structure of the classic Fallouts but in 3D I would have probably stopped playing that game too before I even left Goodsprings

You people disregard the fact that Gen 3 Synths have been a work in progress for decades. They're not all from the same production batch; they've gone through various iterations and are still being redeveloped when you arrive at the Institute.

The most likely reason for why they haven't gone into full production is because they couldn't sustain a full Gen 3 Synth workforce unless they were fine-tuned with FEV. Otherwise we'd be seeing a lot more in use instead of the older models.

Actually, the old perk/skill system was grade A garbage for a large number of reasons that the new system fixed.

Also, it should be made clear that Synths are not Super Mutants.

Super Mutants are created using a very specific strain of FEV under a dedicated process (depending on how the virus is administered, be it in liquid or an aerosol form). It is never implicitly stated that Synths utilize FEV in their creation, but it is clear that the Institute is keen on duplicating its benefits, seemingly with minimal drawback.

Physiologically speaking, many Gen 3 Synths remain similar to humans (reference: Dr. Chambers, DiMA)

>The program was ultimately a success; my DNA was fused with a modified virus to create the organic material from which our new synths are made.

>>172179684
Super Mutants are the result of FEV mutating a person whose DNA has been damaged by radiation, and is thus corrupted. FEV accelerates that corruption, turning them into super mutants.

Synths are basically the "perfected" form of super mutants, taking FEV and using it on someone without radiation corrupted DNA

How was the old system garbage?
The perks available depended on what was relevant to your character based on level and skill prerequisites. It found a way to reward the player for a level up without forcing them to choose between fun bonuses and mandatory combat leveling.
You could always pick skills needed for health regen, gun accuracy, etc, but never had to sacrifice that viability for fun bonuses like shotgun surgeon or bloody mess, which only marginally affect your stats, but allow for bonuses that mesh well with role playing, and feel like a treat, rather than something boring you need to stay viable.

As someone who first played Bethesda's games on a console, no, it wouldn't. I don't know who Bethesda used for their market research but they were probably the same people who thought Fabe's EXP system was 'too advanced'.

>>172180407
Nigga that stupid fucking limitation even caused some quests to break like Avery's side mission in far harbor that you can't talk about anymore when you exhume her corpse
Only because they couldn't fit the fucking option in

>>172180108
>How was the old system garbage?
Lots of reasons
1. SPECIAL had no bearing on your skill level. Have 1 charisma? Can still pass every speech check because you have 100 in speech! Have 1 INT? Can still hack every computer and repair any robot because 100 science!

This in turn made SPECIAL largely worthless as fuck, and made skills why to powerful by comparison.

Fallout 4 fixed this by removing skills, and tying what they did into SPECIAL, making SPECIAL far more important in the process, and making the game play more logically as you actually have to have the physical and mental requirements to do shit now.

2. The 1-100 skill range made putting points into skills very mediocre because the skill's power was spread out over such a large range that you only got noticeable and effective power boosts every 20-25 levels. When it came to things like hacking/lockpicking, literally everything outside of 25/50/75/100 was worthless since they didn't make you any better at picking locks/hacking.

Fallout 4 fixed this problem by bundeling skills into a 5 ranked per, where each rank = 20 level from the 1-100 skill, thus making every point you put into your character actually offer noticeable improvements, and in doing so they far more accurately expressed how lockpicking/hacking worked in the previous games.

3. Stat dumping. Because the 1-100 skill system had no limits of any kind, it was possible to dump all your points into one or two stats right away, and get them to 100 from the get go, eliminating any real challenge from the game.

Fallout 4 fixed this problem by putting level caps on the higher tiered perk ranks, making the game far more balanced in the long run as its less easy to cheese it.

(cont)

>>172175946
>What's the deal with the Fallout general being almost exclusively FO4
But this is a downright lie, or an exagerration to use as bait at best. Of course FO4 is going to be the prominent game discussed because it's recent and current. Plenty of NV discussion here, and several threads ago even had some Tactics playthroughs, and FO1/2 builds. So you don't need to fling shit just because the shitty new game is the most talked about.

>>172181241
4. The old skill system forced you to level up immediately after achieving the EXP needed. This in turned forced you to put points into skills, and take perks, even if you already had all te skills/perks you needed for your character build.

That in turn created a grand homogenizing effect the longer you played the game. It was largely inevitable that you would reach 100 in most skills unless actively tried to meta game, by dumping INT to a really low level, in order to avoid it.

Fallout 4 fixed that problem by making you able to pick perks at will, thus meaning you never have to take a perk other then the ones you want for your build, Increasing long term character diversity.

5. Traits. Traits are a failed system that are supposed to offer increased character diversity by offering your character permanent game start bonuses and weaknesses.

The problem with traits was the same problem with birthsings in TES, in that most of them were just shit, there were a few so bad that it was considered an instant game over if you took them, and there was a few so good they were considered "take every game"

All this did was encourage meta and power gaming, and did nothing but cause people to have to restart the opening hours of the game several times after they had found they had picked one of the terrible traits.

By moving traits into perks as they did in Fallout 3/4 with things like night person, and bloody mess, or into standing stones like in TES, they maintained the game gameplay systems, but did so in a way that was far more balanced overall, and removed any need to restart simply because you took the wrong trait.

>>172181241
>>172181762

I kinda agree with you, I like the new system more, but in FO4 I think it was implemented poorly.

75% of the perks are just VATS or increased damage. There are no hybrid perks utilizing stuff from multiple SPECIAL stats. There are very few unique perks. I love what they did the the Charisma tree though, and robot hacking. Having the ability to control enemies and robots was fucking cool.

>>172181241
>>172181762
While these are just basic summaries of the larger points, the overall point is that Fallout 4's new perk system is, at worst, a side grade in terms of things like lockpicking/hacking, as they play exactly the same anyways, and, overall, better then the old system because it closes down loopholes, makes putting points into your character far more worthwhile since they mean more now, and is generally more balanced overall

>>172182429
>There are very few unique perks
That's because a lot of "unique" perks from Fallout 3/NV got rolled into the "skill" perk in Fallout 4 because those unique perks were fairly fluff, and not very good in terms of actual character bonuses, and, at the same time, rolling the 1-100 skill range down into a 1-5 skill range still didn't negate the fact that the 1-100 skill was garbage, so they boosted it.

Things like shotgun surgeon from NV got rolled into the non-automatic rifle perk in Fallout 4.

>>172181241
>1. SPECIAL had no bearing on your skill level.
It did for nearly every other SPECIAL stat aside from Charisma, the frequently cited dump stat.
For example, S.trength had separate damage bonus multipliers per hit AFTER the bonus points to the skill were applied, plus carry weight.
Plus, it affected the availability of certain perks, meaning low SPECIAL values could bar you from certain bonuses.

>2. The 1-100 skill range made putting points into skills very mediocre
Some skills like lockpicking and science did that, but most affected tiny multipliers in other areas of the game, rather than only affecting key intervals. It was a good concept, just many skills could have been implemented better. Like with lockpicking, a slight variance between each 25 point gap could have affected the area where you can pick.

>3. Stat dumping. Because the 1-100 skill system had no limits
I don't really have much of a counter to this, that kind of sucked.

>4. The old skill system forced you to level up immediately
Solved with a lower level cap. Also Fallout 4 has "infinite levels", so the homogenization will happen eventually anyway.

>5. Traits
They should have either all had bonuses greater than their downsides, or no downsides at all, meaning the player would have no reason not to take 2, and the game balance could be affected accordingly. Again, this is less about balance and more about role playing, but theres no reason why it couldn't be taken into account.

I'm making arguments more from a roleplaying/fun standpoint then a "pure balance" standpoint, because at the end of the day, it's still an action rpg where player skill will have a large influence on combat regardless of stats. Theres ways you can compromise, and while it wasn't perfect, I'd rather have it back then "well I'd like to take a fun perk, but every enemy is a bullet sponge so I need more damage".

>I don't really have much of a counter to this, that kind of sucked.
You were punished more for not leveling up combat skills compared to fallout 4

I'm doing another run and I'm at level 24 at the moment and all i have managed to put my levels into some charisma and intellengce and big leagues which i haven't touched melee since the first hour and im doing fine i don't use power armour with only a couple of things at insta kill me gulpers and fog crawlers

Though Fallout 4 combat is really bad literally its all about making everything a bullet sponge
Why do i have to put an enemy near death just so i can cripple both of his legs id be better off just aiming centre mass works out the same in the end

>>172183821
>Some skills like lockpicking and science did that, but most affected tiny multipliers in other areas of the game, rather than only affecting key intervals
Except, as mentioned, those multipliers were so low as to be basically nonexistent.

Going from 1 to 20 in you gun skill increased weapon damage by 15,%, but since most weapons did only like 10-15 damage at base, it was an increase of 1, or 1.5 points of damage.

20 points = all of ONE more point of damage. Big, fucking whoop.

>For example, S.trength had separate damage bonus multipliers per hit AFTER the bonus points to the skill were applied,
Which were minor and basically trivial compared to the damage bonus from the actual melee weapon skill.

This is another problem that stems from the older game's system, by dividing up things like melee weapon damage between multiple different systems, they inherently devalue each of those systems by stripping away its maximum potential, and putting some of it into something else.

Fallout 4 fixed that problem as well.

>Solved with a lower level cap.
Level caps are a fundamentally flawed idea in open world games like the newer Fallout games because, as seen with Fallout 3 and New Vegas, you will very easily max out our level before doing everything in the game, turning most of the game's content into largely regardless shit.

By removing a level cap, but making exponential EXP gain at a reasonable level, they ensure that you always get rewarded for doing things, but also can never reach so far that you can get even half of all the perks in the game.

Another thing Fallout 4 fixed.

>they should have either all had bonuses greater than their downsides, or no downsides at all,
The whole purpose of traits was that they had downsides, removing their downsides just turns them into perks, thus meaning there is no reason to keep them as a separate category of character stats.... aka, exactly what we got already.

>>172183821
>"well I'd like to take a fun perk, but every enemy is a bullet sponge so I need more damage".
If you are runing into bullet spongey enemies, you are doing something wrong.

Even at level 140+, a modded, non legendary, plasma rifle can kill most enemies in a flash.

You literally have to try in Fallout 4 to not do enough damage to kill shit, even the max level shit, in an instant

>>172185282
How do you make the game harder? I'm playing on very hard but i don't wanna bother with walking and survival.

I had a mod author tell me that I have a mod installed that hogs resources and causes scripts to get queued

Is there any way to find out which mod is causing this, or to show scripts running in my game right now?

why the fuck does MacCready become hostile if I kill some no name chem dealer? What the absolute fuck is wrong with this game?

I was looking for context, what exactly happened? I literally only post with images and I think I've posted here twice since 2015, asking about mobile suit mods because what the fuck are modders doing.

This is kind of depressing though, Buffscale has literally gone insane.

>I think the fact that I can rig models now really fucked with him, he's losing any last trace of composure that he used to have. Rigging models was like the only sort of modding he ever did in /tesg/, and even then, it was mainly hats and stuff like mustaches...and my learning of it I'm pretty sure has shaken him to the core, judging by his past actions and current actions. Especially since the day when he begrudgingly asked for help with OS, and then throwing a temper tantrum when he couldn't get it to work.

>For the longest time I didn't even think it was him doing all this shit, the way he would do all of the shit he's done anonymously, and I'd think to myself "Not even Izzy is this pathetic" or "That shit was so long ago, I really really doubt this is him." If Izzy was going to insult me, he usually did it and let everyone KNOW it was him...but now I have found it was him all along after he accidentally exposed himself and began deleting his posts in another thread. Its honestly a bit sad, I've always heard he had a mental illness, and his behavior lately only nails that in so much harder.

What even is OS? This is next level paranoia and I congratulate the false-flagger but I'm curious as to what happened.

Halofarm also told me it was a 99% chance of being him, after some shit that happened between them on Steam. What happened, I don't have a clue, but he said he blocked him, so it must have been pretty shitty. They used to be friends.

He said something along the lines of "There's only one autist that comes to mind when I think of someone that would post someone's IRL pictures in the threads. Doesn't bother me though lol"

Will you be adding it into that mod? In the discord people said that someone is working on adding plasma weapons onto robots and sentries along with been able to upgrade those weapons at the weapons workbench before attaching them to robots and sentries.

they also said that it worked both ways and could be removed and attached relatively easy.

is this not your mod?

>>172208082

Nope. I was going to also make plasma caster robot arms, though.

But I'm feeling lazy and just wanna finish this shit in the basics first. I'm starting to fear I can't change the receiver model via upgrades.

no fusion cores and limited plating to maximize mobility


the concept only really worked because of how power armor was in 3/NV game anyway

>>172208326

Oh wait, I'm tired and not reading posts that well lol

Yes I said I was going to add these weapons to robots. But I'm not sure if it was my mod they're referring to.

>>172208612
Would you be so kind to add the ability to add weapons you've found to robots? as that sounds kinda awesome.

I'd rather a fully upgraded plasma caster than a stock one.

Yes but there was always a lore point on power armor in both those games that it made figures "hulking" even if the actual effect wasn't well represented in-game due to engine constraints. Obsidian also approached the game with the knowledge that in most games power armor added about a foot of height and the proportions were well above and beyond what most normal humans could walk around in comfortably with all of its hydraulics or other mechanical bits removed.

Even reshaping the metal to fit a smaller frame, I think there's this unspoken suggestion that NCR Heavy Troopers must be some really strong men/women just to manage it, especially while also toting weapons such as lmg's, miniguns, and super sledges.

Well fucking hell.

I think I'm just going to make the three different receiver types I made just cosmetic variants you can make. They don't seem to be replacing the receiver at all, even when I set it up perfectly following Niero's guide.

I guess people would prefer cosmetic options anyway. I'll still make the various receiver upgrades I was gonna make, but this kinda bums me out. Ah well.

Oh, that wasn't my mod.

Also no fuck that.

I thought about making it so you could build Gen 2 synths in Automatron though. So you can put them in power armor and give them guns of your choice.

>>172209080
You know what's bizarre? Assaultrons can fit into Power Armor.

I know from experience, I just wanted a companion that could fire lasers from their head while carrying heavy weapons.

I never got past the testing stage but it works more or less.

Level caps are great, you're wrong.

are you using a dummy receiver or your gun's base mesh in the weapon?

>>172207913
What mod is this image from? I get a Half-Life 2 vibe from the background.

>>172209560

Base mesh.

Funny you should mention that, I just deleted the mesh from the gun model box to see what would happen. Do I need to find a mesh called Dummyreceiver?

Yeah, most guns use an empty dummy receiver and then attach the basemesh to it through a OMOD.

What do you mean finally? Do you have to use them manually or what? If that's not the end of your serious playing, this will be:

I really want to know if this is true.

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle. Thanks Niero. I really coulda swore I tried this before and no matter what I did it just gave me the vanilla gatling laser.

I think this covers about all my technical issues, I might have this wrapped up soon now.

:D

Oh but I do have one question. When I place these in the world, how do I have "Standard" sets on them? They'll just be invisible. Or if you spawn one in via console, it will be invisible until you put a receiver on it.

This stuff at the bottom of each weapon record. Every time a weapon is generated it picks a combination from that data and assembles the gun with those attachments, the ground object will work the same way.

>>172210910
Hey Niero, since you apparently actually do commissioned work for Fallout 4, what do you charge for outfits?

>>172210910

Ah, I see. Yeah the CK has that nowhere, but I see it now, in Xedit.

This is the only thing I can see that Xedit has that the CK doesn't, but damn if its not an important part. Thanks again.

>>172211524
xEdit is best

Oh wow, never would have thought to look there.

Thanks. I thought I'd have to edit quests and shit to get this to work, like making a unique legendary.

Most the outfits I've done have taken upwards of 20-30 hours, so extrapolate from there.

>>172211524
It's in there, as >>172211934 points out. Its a huge pain in the ass to pick and choose omods though. Then again everything is a pain in the ass in the editor compared to xEdit.

Aaaand the barrels align differently for my other receivers.

Great.

Maybe I should get some sleep.
