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"
NIN's "Every Day Is Exactly The Same"
Any other suggestions?
Only the hot chicks have been stripped to undies. :)
Good tip.
A problem I run into is when I put armor on settlers, it unequips the clothing. If I re-equip the clothing, it unequips their armor. How do you get around having armored settlers running around in their underwear?
You describe that as a problem.
I view it as a feature.
LOL
Note to everyone: Vault 81 is extremely buggy. Many quests are broken for me now. Save before entering or maybe Bethesda will patch it someday. Me, I’m leaving the Vault for good and will try it someday in the future when I either save first or Bethesda patches it.
I had no problems in V81. To this day however, I cannot get people to wear armor. And the wretched Piper quest is still non functional.
It’s Bethesda’s traditional way to provide each player with a unique wasteland experience ;)
Getting people to wear armor is easy. Trade with them (not barter, trade) then the T key to make them use either the weapon or the armor. In order to keep it simple I have companions use full cage-armor sets. Then I don’t have to assign each leg and arm and so on.
My Piper quest went just fine. Vault 81 is scrogged. If you refuse the tour from the kid, it’s broken, the forums say.
I did the tour. That would explain it.
I’ll give it a look/shot. I’ve been doing fine without arming them/armoring them. Over 20 in most settlements, happy hovers 60-80.
Of course I ringed every settlement with about 80-140 points worth of heavy Turrets. it’s a Brotherhood thing...You wouldn’t understand...
/Steel Hipster
I'm stingy. I give every settler one pipe pistol, unmodified, with a small magazine, and exactly 7 bullets.
Did I mention my character is named Andy Cuomo?
We have to stop Gun Violence in the Wasteland! If guns are outlawed, only supermutants will have guns!
They are green and a minority. It’s ok for them to have guns as reparations for the FEV that white men forced on them.
What are you, some kind of Human supremacist?
GREEN LIVES MATTER!!!
But I read up on this quest, and you got LUCKY. Lots of times the tour itself will bug. Even if it doesn't, some of the quests STILL get stuck.
I did the sick kid serum quest with no problem. Haven’t found the cat yet though.
Havent been back there much to do the others. So I suppose it still could spaz out.
POWER ARMOR???
MY BROTHER! I EMBRACE YOU!!!
Oh and when Danse gets pounded, I cant stimpack him. I could with Dogmeat in the beginning and I think the last bugfix is the culprit. Cant trade with any companions either. When I select the menu choice it just kicks out of the menu entirely.
Gonna restart soon. I havent modded anything so it’s purely a game issue
The cat one is kinda dumb. When you find the cat, all you have to do is interact, and all that does is have youre character say “Ash! Go home! Go home now! Your owner misses you!”
Clearly the developers do not own a cat.
If they did, the quest would be:
1) Find the cat.
2) Find the cat after losing it again.
3) Try to grab the cat and have it run away.
4) Find the cat a third time.
5) Try to attract the cat with treats.
6) Try to grab the cat again and have it run away.
7) Find the cat a fourth time.
8) Set up a live-catch trap with treats.
9) Watch as the cat gets the treats without activating the trap.
10) Find the cat the fifth time.
11) Set up another live-catch trap and test it on a mole rat.
12) Bait and FINALLY catch the cat.
13) Have it claw and wriggle out of your arms.
14) Find the cat the sixth time.
15) Stun the cat with a concussion grendade.
16) Take the stunned cat back to the vault.
LOL!
Oh, and dude, I’ve been in Power Armor for a while now. I have 4 sets total, the one I’m in and three trophy ones lined up at the Red Rocket. :)
All you have to do is HaZ a cheezburger and the cat will do as you command. Has the internet taught you nothing? ;0
I Have a full set of each. And spares. ;) Except the raider power armor. I have all the parts but it looks like ass. So I keep it in a van. Down by the river.
The x1 is better armor but I like the T60 more. If it had the X1s ‘make everyone glow’ feature I’d use it instead.
I’m still missing lots of pieces for the various categories, especially the X1. Only have three pieces of that one.
What level are you? I’m a big badass 38. :)
82...I’m old ;)
