/fog/ - Fallout General

But I just want to hate, user.

xth for Zion deserves love.

Anyone know If I can add muscles to character the same way as in skyrim where you mod the normalmaps? The ones FO4 CBBE has look totally different than what I'm used to.

I thought I had that mod downloaded, I will have to check it out. Maybe something overwrote the texture.

Also, pic is what the Crit mod looks like with Plasma. P cool.

I hate how every elder scrolls and fallout has the problem where you can just visit each weapon store and buy the bestest weapon in the game. NV with gunrunners kiosk was especially bad for this.

in Fallout 1 and 2 you least never had enough money to just go and buy that avenger and enough ammo.

>gunrunners kiosk

Memories about farming Black Mountain and Vault 3 are rushing back. Weapon mods were fucking expensive.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MARAUDER

>The weapon was able to produce doughnut-shaped rings of plasma and balls of lightning that exploded with devastating thermal and mechanical effects when hitting their target and produced pulse of electromagnetic radiation that could scramble electronics.

Plasma weapons doing extra damage against PA and robots when?

>you can just visit each weapon store and buy the bestest weapon in the game
Maybe in Fallout 3, NV and 4, but in TES you can never buy anything decent because of level scaling.

Man the guns and mods in F4 fuckiing suck.

Yeah, especially when you realize that every gun is fuckhuge so they fit PA hands and that the small amount of different guns is explained by the weapon modding you can do. And when you realize that they were so lazy that they couldnt even rip the lever action reloading from NV and implement it correctly.

>they couldnt even rip the lever action reloading from NV and implement it correctly
FNV had more than a few improvements that Fo4 just completely ignored (like ammo crafting/switching comes to mind). It's almost as if Bethesda purposefully ignored FNV in development.

i like the set pieces like when the brotherhood blimp comes floating in

>It's almost as if Bethesda purposefully ignored FNV in development.
They did. There is a Mysterious Stranger file in Nick's office, if references every previous FO game except for NV

I was impressed that the animation for it dropping a vertibird was actually really smooth. I was expecting it to slide in the air like the executed guy in skyrim intro

>I hope nexus mods use these images as proof for banning your misogynistic ass
I know this is a troll post, but

Morrowind you could actually. But shit was off the wall expensive.
I didn't even realize PA was the reason the weapons were huge. It might be nostalgia, but I remember NV having a much wider variety of weapons.

>First time playing fallout 4
>it's fun for the first hour, cant wait to get out of the tutorial and see the world
>finish the first quest
>i'm lvl 2 and I have power armor and a minigun, and I just killed a deathclaw
>ok, this is retarded, but I can just abandon the armor, forget about the main plot and go explore the world
>find church close to starting location
>go explore it
>find a fatman and cache of mini-nukes

Is there a mod to fix this or something?
I'm lvl 3 and iv got power armor, a minigun, and a fat man with plenty of mini-nukes.
Usually this is the point I stop playing fallout games and iv hit it 2 hours in.

>instead of making a selection of PA only weapons they just made everything fuckhuge

I

>they couldnt even rip the lever action reloading from NV and implement it correctly.
Didn't Obsidian almost break the game trying to get that animation to work? And it's still buggy as shit in the final product.

They said it was a total pain in the dick to implement thanks to the way bethesda handled ammo pools and totals in 3.

You could exercise self control and not use the Fatman. Also good luck keeping that Power armor fueled for long at that level.

I only ever legitimately used a Fatman consistently in New Vegas: And that was to one-shot the Legion assassins that could each tank 12+ .50bmg rounds to the face. And damage wise its the more realistic of the two, between FO4 and New Vegas!

Why do Legion assassins have so much fucking health

Zeal and fury

>Fatman consistently in New Vegas
That was a great weapon in FNV. The custom ammo types could be bought regularly, Esther was really cool, and there wasn't a shortage of beefy enemies to use it on. That could be assassins, irradiated Lonesome Road remnants, deathclaws, NCR troopers if you're having a bad day, or Cazadores if you want to avoid having one.

All the zeal in the world can't keep a .50 round from splitting a legionnaire's head like a big water balloon, though. Let alone a dozen rounds.

At the level I got to in New Vegas, I could kill Cazadores with melee weapons

I still had to take a meds to heal all the poison though

Look at my badly made comparison list and weep!

Missing some weapons and some have been merged with different categories because FO4 does away with things like energy heavy weapons and SMG's and so on.

I'd consider Fatman to be the least offender in that case, to be honest. What more offensive is ludicrous amounts of healing, food, drug and other items that game throws at you.

Fatman is a situational weapon, not to mention heavy as fuck. Other stuff breaks gameplay and economy way too harder.

Hell, seven years on and the sight of those damned things still sends a chill down my spine.
It really bothers me how fucking _slow_ melee/unarmed is in Fo4 now. Looking at anew at a FNV video makes it really painfully obvious. You can get probably 3~5 swings in during the time it would take for even one swing with a Fo4 Combat Knife.

I just installed the NVSE into my new vegas folder.
Do you have to point steam to the NVSE exe? or does it just hook into the game when I start it from steam normally?

oh, and Bethesda did away with named ones having unique textures.

>Other stuff breaks gameplay and economy way too harder
Probably don't even tell user about Purified Water then lol.

Cazadores don't really scare me desu.

Then again I'm always packing heavy duty shit that can blow them all away instantly like missile launchers and miniguns.

>webm

That looks like something pic related would do

Thanks for triggering me with that ammo canister 3 and NV had. Not that the reload anim in 4 is any better.

And then there is XCOM 2.

What a fucking failure this game is. It hurts even worse than FO4.

Okay, so me
To carry on my question, what should I be looking for in each territory? The problem is that most of those separate mods/plugins are actually patches or components otherwise. What the hell can I do at this rate? I'll never be able to pare it down to 120.

>What the hell can I do at this rate?
Grab Merge Plugins Standalone and get busy. I reduced my Fo4 LO by almost 300 plugins with that.

Finally a funny fallout-related picture in a fallout thread. Am I dreaming?

Anyone?

You have to explicitly run the new nvse_loader.exe file. That will hook into the game's executable. This is the exact same procedure as for Fo4 and TES5.
Mind that grabbing a cracked version of the FNV exe (even if you own it legitimately...) will allow you to flip the LAA flag with e.g. CFF Explorer, and avoid needing yet another binary in the chain-loading.

Is there no way to hook the nvse into steam? I like having my playtime counted and taking screenshots with it.

You should unironically go the the fallout reddit or a tumblr if all you want is funny pictures.

Oh fuck, there's a program for that?

Well shit, this should make things a lot easier. Most of my plugins are just patches and additions to a base anyways, not separate in and of themselves.

No, you're not.

It's a dll file - it'll load if you followed the instructions right.

Do I not need to connect supply lines inbetween Far Harbor settlements?
I have a supply line coming from one of the commonwealth settlements into Longfellow's Cabin. But I just unlocked the Visitor's Center settlement and I have access to my materials here even though I haven't set up a supply line to this settlement.
Is this just a bug or not?

is fallout 4 worth it for porn mods or should I stick with skyrim ?

Executing the NVSE loader injects code directly into the Steam-supplied binary, which _should_ still bring in the associated Steam features like playtime. Honestly, I don't know why people attach importance to any of that crap, though.

>There's a program for that?
Yeah, and it even evolved from an earlier xEdit script. Definitely a necessity for serious modding endeavors. Watch out for navmesh conflicts though - those are a bit of a bear to fix.

>You could exercise self control and not use the Fatman.
The point is this is suppose to be a post apocalyptic survival RPG, and they are throwing expensive rare shit at me like its a post scarcity utopia RPG. I keep finding food, meds, ammo, good weapons and purified water everywhere.

>open Expert safe in the aircraft wreckage
>get one (1) dandy boy and apples

Seriously

The smuggling compartment has great loot, e.g. three Gauss Rifles (at a high enough player level I guess).

Don't forget that a prewar house wife with a law degree somehow knows how to use power armor

Skyrims poon is still better.

Toaster a cute!
Cute I say!

Special Edition or nah?

>no fun allowed

SE does not have SKSE so stay away if you want poon.

best up to date weather mod for NV?

Skyrim has the potential to be the single greatest porn game ever made, the Japs ain't got shit on it.

How is Sim Settler? It looks on the surface to be exactly what I wanted out of the settlement system but I've been disappointed before.

Where can I find the Realistic Wasteland Lighting Enhancement files? the page on Nexus got taken down.

Has anyone used it? is it a worthy improvement over the normal RWL?

how the fuck do vault generators work
i have them snapped to the rest of my floors but none of the light i have on the walls work

So, how many mods precisely can a NV install take before it fucks up regularly?

Its ok If you cant be arsed to build settlements. Though I except it to start making script lagg if you build shitloads of things with it.

Any good alternatives to horizon?
fuck its crafting changes.

Things or people?

You still need to snap in the vault power conduits, iirc. Those should radiate the necessary power, but still be themselves powered by the vault corridors.

Is there an easier more efficient way to light a vault?

it literally says how many in the NV pastebin

Does New Vegas break if you go over 60fps like other gamebryo engine games?

...

Cheers m8, I'll try it out.

Once you're in the power armor it's no different from a second skin.

Hey /fog/, been a long time since I played fo4, a big reason I dropped it was because collecting and maintaining mods was a pain.

Have any total overhauls like wanderer's edition or P:N come out for fo4 yet? I haven't touched any dlc content from the season pass and still want to do one more play through.

Playing a 1 Endurance Survival character who uses the China Lake 40mm grenade launcher as primary weapon is a lot of fun and highly recommended to all of my friends here on Veeky Forums's Veeky Forums :^)

Anyone have the screencap of the freaky vault filled with rooms that move randomly every 7 days or something?

well, you said yourself that those images aren't posted here regularly. unlike various tumblrs and the fallout reddit. I wasn't trying to insult you but help you find what you were looking for you thin skinned faggot.

Is it normal for Enhanced Camera to reduce first person model quality to Morrowind-tier, or did I fuck up tremendously somewhere?

is there a decent texture mod for npc ghouls? They look...not gross enough. I want to say that the NV ghouls looked ickier. Needs more rot! Sinew! Skin flaps!

nope

Give me some alternate rule to save within in survival besides sleeping in beds, that's dumb and I disabled it but don't want to just spam autosave every 3min.

I'm thinking once per indoor cell or something. Maybe that's dumb but can't be dumber than some random object that bethesda placed randomly without any concern to the survival mod.

>toaster
>regrowth

There's a mod out there that basically implements a saving holotape into the world that works like resident evil ink ribbons. They're in the leveled lists, so you find them in lockers and stuff, and you can toggle whether or not you need to find a terminal to put them in, or if you can just use your pipboy to save. After using them, they expire.

I don't remember what it's called, google holotape saving or something.

>every raider has china lake when you hit level 25
>reloading blows balls

aand dropped.

>>every raider has china lake when you hit level 25
i have not experienced this
>>reloading blows balls
it suffers the same reload anim bug that the lever action rifle has, not sure if there's a fix

> Not hot swapping weapons for free reload because QUALITY coding can't track the number of bullets in a gun

Wait what? I need that Hellfire Power Armor.

there is one workaround mod that "fixes" it, but it's a buggy mess because it fixes it by a script
