>Gassy Assaultron RimJob 1/5

Yeah, wading through all the inflation porn and shit there's some neat stuff you can find on DevientArt both in the form of art and mods. Why people post mods on devient art I don't know, but I've found a few decent clothing mods and shit there.

>Literally meme magic'd smelly Assaultron farts into artwork

FUCK YOU. I'M EATING CAIT AND HER BABY!

Yeah. First playthrough. I'm on Survival, so it's taking me a minute to get all the way down through the map. Just cleared out Walden Pond.

Doing your first playthrough on survival might be a little ambitious but if you're enjoying it. The map does feel a lot larger when you have to walk everywhere.

I played a bit past Concord on Normal, then restarted.

I'm not having too many problems.

First seven or eight level ups were tough as fuck, though.

Take your time then, no need to rush, especially because you're looking for..well, Cait. Why do you want her so bad?

Quick, leave the thread before the No Fun Allowed faggots infect you with their pessimism

I'll never understand why people use fast travel and complain the world's to small. Fucking walk around nigga, you ain't even exploring it the fuck would you know. I literally never once used fast travel in my 400 hours of play time. Don't get me wrong, I used vertibird quite a bit for convenience when I needed to get to a settlement being attacked or unload some shit at my home, but fuck dude, like actually play the damn game and maybe you wouldn't be so disappointed.

It gets easier once you get some nice gear and levels.

I don't dumbass just saying that playing through it your very first time on prepare to die edition is ambitious.

I wasn't accusing personally you nigga don't be so hostile sheeeiit

I'm trying to do the Sierra quest but she won't move up to talk to the Bradburton head. What do?

Post screenshots of your exploration

This just released and I gotta say it looks pretty good actually.

nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/17374/?

I let the explorers come to me tbqh.

...

Do they ever load in or are always invisible? I've got a handful of settlement mods and things will be invisible for a few seconds while it loads it all in.

It looks interesting but you should wait for all the dlc and patches to come out before you do something like this. If a patch breaks it you can't just remove it and keep playing that save.

...

is it worth pirating the workshop shit if im not willing to shell out $5 a pop for them
do they add anything noteworthy in function or is it like all decorative

Granted Nuka World is in beta right now, but that IS the last DLC, so it seems like an okay time for release to me. They're not going to patch much past the final DLC barring some problems with it specifically so it should be fine.

get the season pass for 50 bucks (roughly the price of Nuka World and Far Harbour put together) and you essentially get it all for free

unless you're going to pirate all of the DLC, what's the point of buying shit separately?

Yes it is if you like building at all. People say b-but mods do it! but there isn't any mods doing what these do, only ones that use it to expand on it.

If you build the cages you increase the chances of that faction/group spawning to attack and free them, I have about 15 gunner cages so I get almost daily attacks, I get a legendary from each one plus a small pile of guns, ammunition, food and weapons for each group. And I turn them into beef jerky + building supply with the contraptions production line + manufactoring extended. WW also adds a new generator that does 100 power and a new purifier that can go into soil but makes 10 water and both have decorative shit. Also there's an archway that removes radiation when you stand in it and a much MUCH easier way to get electricity into your rooms amongst other things

...

Good eating.

...

Does Bethesda even know that yaoi gay roast is broken like this?

...

I blame Grisaia for me starting to see cannibalism in a sexual light.

It's been known about since launch. I thought for sure it'd been patched

gun runners dlc where?? also does nuka world have a lot of new weapon types?

They have been out there a while...so just like Deathclaws and Radscorps.

Me too that's why I actually ate some.

>one shot the fat man raider at lexington with a rolling pin on survival

muh cannibal

No sense wasting good meat.

They're not Wasteland creatures though, they weren't created by strange radiation evolution. They're literally robots created by the Institute. They should be affected by Robotics Expert, not Wasteland Whisperer.

I'm quite curious how /fog/ builds their SPECIAL for end game.

>They're literally robots created by the Institute. They should be affected by Robotics Expert, not Wasteland Whisperer.

They are Human clones, they are people and are affected by Charisma and Intimidation.

Uh no, Gen 1 and 2 Synths are literally machines. There are no organics in their framework.

Well, technically Gen 1 & 2 are robots, while Gen 3 are..cyborg? But actually, I think they are more like clones, since we can see all the process at the Institute.

SINGING PIPES

What's the drug exploit?

Gen 3's are cyborgs due to the synth components in their brains.

Ancient exploit that's been in every Bethesda game since Morrowind.

>Have Strength at 10/11
>Take drug that reduces Strength (Daytripper I believe)
>You can use the You're Special! book to put another point into Strength
>Drug wears off
>You now have 12 Strength

Probably using drugs to make you hungry or thirsty then using the special book.

Take drug that lowers the targetted SPECIAL once that SPECIAL is at 10, use the sanctuary SPECIAL book to boost that stat, wait for the drug to wear off. After that you can slap a bobblehead on top for a max of 12 in a SPECIAL

Yeah, pretty much like Kellogg I guess? Maybe he was one of their first experiments, since he's been around for decades.

Kellogg has more extensive cybernetics and is just some wasteland merc they picked up and granted the cybernetics to because he was too useful. Regular ass gen 3s get a chip in their head so their recall codes will work and I think Coursers merely get a chip in their neck in addition that acts as a teleporter beacon.

>Kellogg
>Synth

wut

Not a synth, but a cyborg. He already has a robotic arm by the time he kidnaps Shaun, so the Institute already worked with him for some time? Then 60 years pass, and he's still around. Hell, the guy might be even 100 years old.

Isn't he actually over 100 years old?

108 at the time of cornflake's death

Oh well, that's why I'm playing this game again, I don't remember shit.

Where is the source on Kellogg's birth date, other than a wiki asspull? I went back over the relevant mission's NCR radio audio about a month ago, but didn't really find anything that established his age. Unless it's established in the prima guide or something (I didn't see it there either), we don't really now how old Kellogg was during that scene.

I'm trying to do take over the commonwealth for Nuka World and I keep getting "running out of memory" errors

it seems to happen with all my fallout 4 games when I start getting lots of complex settlements

I don't think there's any official source on his age, but he's a minimum of 91 years old

It's literally told you what's happened, turn some shit down or stop building a fuckton of overly-complex settlements. Alternatively you can go buy some more ram.

Download more ram. You should have a 4gb card and at least 8gb of system ram.

The voice line where he says he wanted to find somewhere out from under the NCR's thumb as a child is noted as "memory of yourself at 10"

I'm not sure where people get him being 10 at the time of the NCR being founded. All it seems to say to me is that when he was 10 he was in NCR territory.

Oh shit they added a save when you exit the game in survival. No more needing to have a cigarette just to go jerk off.

>Not a synth, but a cyborg. He already has a robotic arm by the time he kidnaps Shaun, so the Institute already worked with him for some time? Then 60 years pass, and he's still around. Hell, the guy might be even 100 years old.

The arm is a power assist brace, the brain implants help keep him from going into senile dementia and possibly stimulate his physical systems to slow the deterioration of his body.
He's still human but with assists like an artificial kidney or a pump to assist his heart.

>see my robo provisioner go down fighting rust devils
>think it's ok because he'll get up, robots are essential
>he doesn't get up

I thought it was a bug but it turns out automatrons die in survival except for Ada and Jezebel.

>You should have a 4gb card
Oh give me a break, such an expensive graphics card is grossly out of proportion with the actual requirements to run this game properly. You don't need a Nvida FTW SUPER 8GB DELUXE $800 GPU to run Fo4. Anything with that much vRAM is excessively more powerful than what the consoles have to offer anyway, in this context.

8GB of RAM is actually a good minimum though, especially because the game being 64-bit means it can actually use enough to tap that out.

>Oh give me a break, such an expensive graphics card is grossly out of proportion with the actual requirements to run this game properly
>expensive
4gb isn't even expensive any more the fucking budget 1060 has 6gb. You will need that vram if you want to use texture/graphics mods. Just because consoles cuck the vanilla graphics doesn't mean YOU have to let it slide in your game.

Oh I found it. In the scene where he is a kid you can hear on the radio on the nightstand that the votes from Hub are coming in to create the NCR.

So expensive!!!!!!

You're a delusional fool if you think the game isn't purposely designed and programmed poorly in order to require such exorbitant memory requirements.

It isn't some vast conspiracy it's just that they don't need to go to so much effort when the hardware improves. Combined with Bethesda quality, although I will admit they've improved massively since their other games strangely, and you get games that aren't as optimized.

potato detected

16 gb ram and a min of 4 gb vram is req for this game

what is there to do after turning the power back on at Nuka World? I already opened the secret area in the Bottling Plant, anything else?

It's kind of weird though, because we have conflicting information:
>fallout.wikia.com/wiki/NCR_history_holodisk
From Fallout 2, which takes place in 2241, and it mentions that the NCR was founded 80 years previously. That establishes the NCR's founding as in approximately 2161.

But then we have this:
>fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_Bible_0#Timeline_repair:_Second_strike
the Fallout Bible 0, establishing the NCR's founding as in 2186.

Do we know for sure that the Hub was one of the founding states of the NCR?

>purposely designed and programmed poorly in order to require such exorbitant memory requirements
Do you have any fucking idea how game dev even works? Bethesda is definitely not purposefully crippling the game or whatever weird conspiracy is running through your head.

>16gb ram 4gb vram
Actually:
>help.bethesda.net/app/answers/detail/a_id/31148/~/what-are-the-system-requirements-for-fallout-4-on-pc
8GB RAM, 2GB vRAM are the listed minimum.

and are you playing of patato?

>decide to revisit Fallout 4 after getting my GTX 1080
>garbage performance with several drops down to as low as 35fps
>other times i get massive drops down to 1-2 fps that forces me to use task manager to close the game
>the general bethesda bugfest crap
>mods disable cheevos and other dumb shit

Man fuck Bethesda and their lazy fucking asses for sticking with this piece of shit gamebryo engine. I can run the new Doom game at constantly above 100fps maxed out, there's no fucking excuse.

and are you playing on patato?

you have to turn shadow distance down to 3000

the game will never get 60 fps without doing that, regardless of your card

>other times i get massive drops down to 1-2 fps that forces me to use task manager to close the game
Having a good graphics card doesn't mean the rest of your PC isn't a potato.

I have literally never had this problem.

>playing fallout 4 on my 670 4gb
>45 dps and stable gameplay even downtown
idgi

I really do think an i5 4690K and 24GBs of RAM should suffice for this piece of shit game when like I said it can run the new Doom game maxed out above 100fps while looking miles better.

Does it even matter? I'm not whinging over being unable to play with my gear, I'm admonishing you for giving out bad info and exaggerating the game's requirements.

Get the mod that disables mods disabling achievements. Also shadows generally fuck shit so look into tweaks for that.

>I'm admonishing you for giving out bad info and exaggerating the game's requirements.
While also being retarded saying that 4gb cards are worth their weight in diamonds and thinking that reaching the BARE MINIMUM is acceptable?

yes, well enjoy your shitty framerates when im enjoying 60 fps everywhere :^)

>Download 'Live Dismemberment' mod
>'Kneecapper' .38 pipe machine pistol

That actually seems really well put together, only problem I see with it is no balancing for power armor and I use alot of mods that add weapons and items so theyd probably be unbalanced.

>I5 4670K
>8 gigs of ram
>Nvidia 960 4 gigs of vram
here, none of the problems you listed

and this is recommended
