nice trigger discipline idiot

...

he's a shitdicked raider, fuckweed
of course he has no TD

any raider that doesn't know how to handle a firearm probably isn't going to last very long doing what he does

are you implying there are raiders that last very long in the first place

>apa in nv
>obsidian shits the bed with it all except for the helmet
>apa in 4
>bethesda shits the bed in it with the helmet

how do you explain your mailman there not having any trigger discipline either

raider veterans and bosses exist so yes

you have shitty raiders, and you have dangerous raiders

Unmodded, can pipe weapons remain viable for the entire game?

even the ones that don't just die in one hit still aren't a threat either. I think the only time I have been killed by raiders was when one launched a fat man from above on me just because I didn't expect them to have one of those

are you blind
his finger is clearly on the outside of the trigger guard
at least he isn't sweeping his buddies
That 10mm looks really fucking off
why is the main body of it at a different angle to the grip oh god it's like a fucking mc escher painting

>Not using a pipe texture mod

yikes

...

Oh you're one of those shitters that likes to argue game mechanics over setting and lore in this type of discussion and pretend it's easy to survive in the waste because your player character is near-invincible

Okay then

Thanks for letting me know it was a waste of time trying to engage you in conversation

okay you're one of those shitters that thinks hes a god at video games because he plays single player games HARDCORE LIKE A BAWSSSSS

No, I think you completely misunderstood my point... which is pretty unsurprising but I'm still going to point it out for your benefit.

lets discuss the fact that you don't meet with any of those types until you're prepared to. It has nothing to do with my character being a total badass and more how the game is structured which could also be setting because raider bosses wouldn't worry with some nobody on the wasteland and wouldn't show their face until youre actually a threat. Beat you at your own game argue that faggy mcfaggerson

you had no point you just wanted to show off how cool you are

The game is definitely structured in such a fashion that it all comes across as a joke. Rarely is there ever a feeling of real danger, but the point stands. "Veteran" raiders exist, are dangerous, and underestimating them is some kind of fast track to being dead in a ditch, because even if they're drugged up psychopaths a solid 6/10 times, at the top of that heap you have people like Gage that knows how to direct those shitters into something resembling a threat.

So yeah, I'm going to argue that you can't hold up the game mechanics, say "this game is easy on me" and use that as some sort of basis for claiming that all raiders recently started raiding and are a low-level threat.

Everything is situational, and humans (particularly desperate ones) are always the most dangerous game.

>wouldn't show their face until youre actually a threat
Except you're sent to Corvega in the first minuteman settlement quest (or you have a chance to, I'm not sure how much radiant can effect it)
There are definitely mechanically tough raiders but they throw "important" raiders at you almost straight away

Commando - no
Gunslinger - no
Rifleman - yes

Personal experience, went with a raider type character. You can either be a sniper with .50 cal rounds (i think, or .308s) or a regular .45 rifleman. super rapid fire, super common ammo. Download Better Bash mod, get a nice pipe rifle or better yet add an enhancement like -30% armor pen to it and get a spring stock and bayonet and absolutely fuck shit up and enjoy the brutality of bashing people to death as a finisher as you close the gap filling them full of .45 holes

and get all the best mods by like level 12 or 13.

What are some mods that tastefully enhance textures and the environment for FO:NV? I'm not looking for any super-crazy-hi-def stuff or god-rays-everywhere ENBs or shit. Just something that makes it look a little sharper, a little more gritty, and a little more desert-like.

>this complete lack of reading comprehension
so this is the modern fallout fan bethesda panders to I take it

So what are the chances of Fallout 4 Vegas being announced?
Nonexistent or just extremely low?

SWATTER SWATTER SWATTER SWATTER SWATTER SWATTER SWATTER SWATTER

BUY A SWATTER

YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO OWN A SWATTER!!! SWATTER SWATTER SWATTER SWATTER SWATTER SWATTER SWATTER SWATTER SWATTER SWATTER SWATTER

>Fallout 4 Vegas
An official one? Exactly 0%.

I just ignored what he said because he assumed what I meant was because of the PC. Argument is over though, I was referring more to raiders being a nonthreat not because of the player character but because they are all shitty junkies.

I forgot about that been so long since I played the beginning of the game haha

>no quest where Nat is kidnapped
>you wait for a ransom note but it never comes
>you ask around, people say they don't know until you ask the kid at the water pump and he says yeah he was chilling looking out over the wall and saw a guy talking to her for a sec and then she takes his hand and he lead her away
>more investigation leads you to a little den under the nearby apartments
>the game started a timer as soon as the quest was started
>if you get there in time, you find Nat chained to a bed and she's thankful to see you and you bing her to safety
>if the timer reaches a certain point you find her naked and she's silent and looking past you/looks distant

>no quest where a distraught settler approaches you one time when you visit a settlement
>she's dodgy when you ask what's wrong until she eventually admits another settler raped her last night
>you can choose to investigate and eventually decide what to do about it, and what to do for her

I want EDGY quests. Wasteland would be EDGY

are there any good quest mods other than Maxwell's?

Probably zero. The shitstorm it would cause making one of the endings canon might be too much for some people. the mass suicides

fuck man, think before you post.

fuck off.

I'd rather have it set in another city. or Colorado would be sick, could keep the country theme of new vegas but also include gold rush theme and Cheyenne mountain military base and shit

A new side game isn't impossible, but I very much doubt it will happen this E3. A new new vegas game is outright impossible though.

So, I'm really interested in modding thicket excavations to have a workshop in it. There's already a mod for it, but it has an ass ton of issues.

The basic concept isn't difficult. I understand how to turn a cell into a settlement. What I want to know is how difficult it would be to alter the location to fix the existing issues.

Notably, there is a known bug that the raiders and items redrawn upon the player moving to about the distance of Starlight. This results in high level threats spawning in on your settlers AND all built items disappearing, so far as I understand.

What would need to be done to fix that?

Settler being shit to another settler actually would be an interesting sidequest. Something like theft or assault. Or one settler is being an ass to everyone and causing trouble. It'd make settlers actually feel like people and not robots squatting in your settlement

If you modified each of the raider spawns and unticked the 'respawns' flag, once they're dead once they should stay dead.

>bat only run
>maybe some baseball grenades
>tried to keep the bat as much as a bat as possible for the run
>but then suddenly level 50 or so
>need to make a tinker toy rocket bladed with pink flames and shit to keep it viable
I legit miss my nice and simple nail bat with alcohol and some chems

It's really shit that you need to have TF2-tier visuals on your melee to keep them viable, if you can at all since half don't have more than two mods

Fair enough. Is there a similar check for the respawning loot and clutter?

Yep, same flag in fact.

>come home and see that a settler murdered another settler
>gotta try to get the truth out from the perp
>if they admit you you can decide whether they get exiled, executed right there, or get to stay but with a hit to settlement happiness

>Start New game again due to PROBLEMS
>Walk out of Cryo
>Hear cricket
>Shoot with 10mm
>Jumps through the roof and one shots me

Now this is podracing.

>In Sanc
>More crickets
>More one shots
>Kill them with cryogun after third try and not missing

real fuckin' neato.

Removed Vivid weathers, Darker nights, and ELFX or whatever and added NAC since it seems like it's much better.

This is Piper!

She's a reporter who lives in Diamond City with her little sister!

Say something nice to her!

I know that feeling. Had a fucking blast as this Unarmed character for the first 35 or so levels using nothing but bladed knuckles with a bleeding effect. But fucking level scaling and shit and had to switch to the Deathclaw which kinda ruined it sorta. traded in brutal neck snapping/beatdowns/suplexes for impaling/eviscerating

Vanilla pipe is ugly, that coat you have on her is ugly.
At least it isnt slutty shit.

bitch.

vanilla piper has a nice big ass, stick her in a nice dress and she is the perfect wife.

she's cute and i love her

what's the name of the coat anyway?

would be nice if more weapons got the NW extended mods thing. Shame none did.

Not that modders are likely to be any help as all the weapon ones have a giant fucking boner for guns.

vanilla hunter's coat.

I'll say 3.
Her outfit is perfect for exhibitionism.
Shes the kind of girl to wrap her legs around when you cum inside
Probably down for threesomes when drunk

strong single mother

o

i haven't played far harbor yet so i didn't know

what cap is that

i like how your piper looks

Piper looks like a shemale. I shot that gross cunt in the back in a diamond city alleyway.

Fucking nasty jew-nosed roastie.

vanilla MacCready's hat, or Lamplight Cap I think.

McCready is pretty Veeky Forums

Piper, McCready, and Longfellow are Veeky Forums companions.

I use nothing but bladed knuckles at level 120 and one-punch BoS Paladins through their power armor.

On Survival.

I'm not sure why you felt the NEED to move on to the Deathclaw gauntlet, but I'm assuming you're a whore for higher numbers.

thanks friendo

You use any mods? with 10 base str, party girl and chemist I cant one shot shit with knuckles

>She's the kind of girl to wrap her legs around when you cum inside
Absolutely fucking patrician taste, my man.

Yeah, I use mods, but no damage mods or overhaul mods, and I didn't even install them until recently when I figured out how to get them working on Survival.

Or do you mean on the knuckles?

I have one with a bleed effect (that I'm just assuming stacks with the blades), one with 25% more damage, one set that's Furious, and another that cripples more easily.

I use different sets based on the situation but it's my weapon of choice as you can imagine.

I also carry molotovs for those fucking wall-mounted turrets.

This is Heather!

She's a merchant who loves exploring the Commonwealth and is trying to uncover the mystery of University Point!

Say something nice to her!

HATE NEWSPAPERS

You are way more tolerable than any of the vanilla companion quests/affinity systems!
She's way better than Willow even though she's made by the same dude, much more interesting character and backstory and tons of situational dialogue.
I will say her voice is pretty shitty though, sounds like a nasally fat girl or something

My Niggas

Oh and if it helps I usually aim for the head. I find that it does a lot more damage that way.

Also maybe you should consider investing in Crits. If you can crit almost constantly you're looking at chained events of facefucking.

>suggest that bloody mess is an awful perk that should be overhauled to give more realistic and brutal death animations
>everyone disagrees and thinks that the "so funneh XDDD" awful gibs are better
Why are people so averse to having better Gore if it's not funny

retards/bethdrones mostly that feel the Todd can do no wrong

after all Bloody Mess is Todd Howard's favorite perk so it HAS to be good!!!!11!

> Realistic, sickening gore
literally why?

Because it's fun and a staple of the series

because it looks cool and lets the artists show off their prowess
and I get off to it okay fuck off

Over the top death animations are a fallout staple and generally fit the tone of the series.

Pure realism is unfitting and generally disgusting.

Gross old lady voice with generic face and cringey dialogue. Sells shitty homeopathic remedies. Hard pass.

This.

I'd like the gibs to happen more often whenever I blast someone with an explosive shotgun so their limbs don't fly and leave their torso spotless, but no, I have to take Bloody Mess and watch my pistol tear people apart

>having cartoony Gore in a game about a post apocalypse
Really activated my almonds

> Post apocalypse is not a cartoon

I have no issues with the classic style crit death anims. My problem is with the lazy cloud of blood with some pieces of meat

Propaganda by the government/ a company =/= the overall tone of the actual wasteland

Absoluting nothing that is core to Fallout and it's inspiration is remotely realistic. Realistic gore is a tone shift that is an unpleasant contrast to everything else.

Then go fling shit at Sony and Microsoft.

What? New Vegas had slavery, rape, war, corruption and drug abuse also can't forget the constant violation of ethics with the prewar government. All of those things fit fallout

Hokuto no ken also had all of those things, and it had people who exploded into giblets when a big man touched them in funny places.

Its commentary on the human condition is pretty realistic

The deaths in hokuto no ken look far better than anything in 3, NV and 4. Also hokuto no ken is a shounen manga about a martial artist kicking ass in a wasteland. Fallout is about human depravity in a post apocalyptic wasteland. Hnk uses it as a backdrop fallout tries to explore it

So did 3 and 4. However all those themes are not individually strong enough or remotely focused enough to tear fallout out of it's falloutness, the 50's SCIENCE and culture and levels of general campiness and wackiness, while not over the top, still dull the harshness of the other elements.

Fallout is not a setting about the pure hell that a true post apocalypse would be. Too realistic gore would just be jarring and kill most player's buzzes as they trudge back out of whatever area they just cleared as they search for whatever they missed in terms of loot and leave to explore the wasteland further.

This is Cait!

She used to be a slave and she is the champion of the Combat Zone!

Say something nice to her!
