The Official Fallout 4 Thread
11/28./2015 | By Laz A. Mataz

Posted on 11/28/2015 7:53:03 PM PST by Lazamataz

Had to do it. Had to create the thread. The game is too damned good. This thread is reserved for hardcore gamers who play Fallout 4. Norm, KC, TADSLOS and I have hijacked so many threads discussing this game, I felt we needed our own thread.

Fallout 4 is amazing. The content is excessively large. There is so much to explore, you could replay this game 10 times and not find every mission or quest. The characters are so much better fleshed out than any other game I have played. Even the radio announcer of Diamond City Radio will have you doubling over in laughter, he's so inept at radio announcing. :) Your companions will pitch in with consistently new, sometimes insightful, and almost always area- or mission appropriate comments. I even got Piper (the hot Reporter chick) to sleep with me. It took a lot of sweet talking. But now she's in love. "Piper, how do you feel about our relationship?" Her answer: "Blue, this is as close to nirvana as I will ever find. Who knew a jaded reporter like me would find love in a wasteland?"

Fallout 4 is so graphics-intensive that I had to upgrade my video card to the GTX970 from Nividia, and I am so glad I did. 4 gigs of video memory, and a solid GPU array. Now I get 60 FPS (at the best) down to about 30 FOS (at the worst) with occasional dips to an unacceptable 24 FPS when in extremely busy, high clutter city areas with lots of combatants.

Our first topic: I want to mod the songs. I want change the Classical Radio Station to play songs I like.

I have six titles so far, that would fit in this game:

Filter's "Hey Man, Nice Shot" to be triggered during combat

Drowning Pool's "Let The Bodies Hit The Floor", also triggered during combat.

Lil Jon's "Turn Down For What"

Disturbed's "Down With The Sickness"

Metallica's "Enter Sandman"

NIN's "Every Day Is Exactly The Same"

Any other suggestions?

My settlers seem to be OK generally but Carla’s Bhramin ends up in the house, on the house, falling from the sky...

It’s/they’re/whatever one terms a 2 headed cow...a very ‘creative’ being/s in his choice of hangouts ;)

You need to put a feed trough in for the cow, then it will stay near that and you can fence it in for looks. Mine stays put except Codsworth keep opening the gate. LOL

Oh BTW I did finally get used to moving with other than the arrow keys. Muscle memory is a weird thing at first it felt strange now the arrow keys feel strange.

Funny you say that. Last night I added several to the settlements. I haven’t really thought to look if they used them yet or not.

Since the evil that is Todd Howard has seen fit to withold the Creation Kit/Geck until 2016, I cannot bring boobs to the boobless of the wretched wasteland with my version of Lydia from Skyrim carrying my burdens, so I am forced, in the meantime, into taking out my frustration on an increasing body count of vermin ;)

This is good ;)

I am still pondering that logitech controller. I should just give myself a Christmas present and be done with it. Analysis paralysis at it’s finest.

Yeah I am about 50 hours in and haven't touched the main quest, spent most of my time building up Sanctuary and exploring the general area, if I see a marker I head for it and hope I don't break a quest down the line. I'm level 13 and spent most of my perks on settlement and crafting increases.

(SEMI-SPOILER)

Best scare I had was a legendary deathclaw popping up out of nowhere and not the scripted one early on.

I am struggling to ‘get’ the whole ‘legendary’ system. If you can aquire a ‘legendary’ anything at early levels, then how ‘legendary was it’ to begin with? Are we to assume that all these special pieces of hardware that pop up simply were gotten by some loser raider at Lev5 and he became this uber badass because of it?

On the other hand, I’m at level 77 (lots of level grinding) and just got a ‘Legendary lead pipe’ off Gunner.

I have to think either they REALLY misnamed/understood the word “Legendary” or I am totally missing the point. In Skyrim/New Vegas they had it as it made sense. If you encountered a legendary dragon/Deathclaw, you were either high level or somewhere you were too low to belong in and that was the game’s way of guiding your progress.

But here, “Legendary” is everywhere and it makes no sense to me. Not a dealbreaker by any means as I just ignore the whole system now/pretend it doesn’t exist and get on just fine, but confusing for Bethesda.

OOPS, brain outran keyboard.. To complete the thought...

“Are we to assume that all these special pieces of hardware that pop up simply were gotten by some loser raider at Lev5 and he became this uber badass because of it?”

AND WE CAN STILL KILL THEM AT LOWER LEVELS?

I also found a deathclaw early like you...(But then I took an arrow to the...wait no I didnt)... A Legendary. Killed it quickly without power armor or anything special...and I’m not that talented a deathclaw killer.

I think that I shall never be
Irradiated as the Glowing Sea
With Danse in tow and Power Armed,
I trode within, thusfar unharmed.

Ghouls and Scorpions did I meet,
All stomped beneath my metal feet
Beyond the borders we did trek,
Found several things we’d not seen yet.

So if you head to places west,
And to the south I must confess,
there is an odd place I did spy,
and things that fell from up on high...

Well I'm not near 77 yet but from what I've seen legendary items have mods that can't be added yourself so if you get something like plus damage vs or incendiary on a weapon of your tier you can mod it up into a pretty decent weapon.

I have a pipe rifle with incendiary and I modded it up into a pretty good sniper rifle that hasn't been surpassed by weapons 2 tiers above it. Also you can't break down legendary items.

Legendary mobs means they drop legendary items, i.e. the feared LEGENDARY RADROACH. Lol, go figure.

I did find a sweetroll but it wasn't legendary by any means, just a bit moldy.

Dude there are people over lev 200!

Leveling Beth games is easy. The trick to it is spending the early game picking the right perks and then capitalizing on them. You can get 4 or 5 levels a day easily.But what is this ‘sleep’ of which you speak? I have heard of it but am not sure what it is ;)

Racist!

I got guards picking on me now...

“Hey buddy I like duns too but don’t you think you’re overcompensating a little?”

You go out and blast a site full of supermutants to save their ass and that’s the thanks you get.

Ingrates.

AND you don’t always listen to the blues station, but when you do, your favorite is:

“I Got Dem Ole Kozmic Platform Boots On De Brain”.

(thanks for the Freepmail ping)
