How the fuck did people make laser muskets?

I mean, yeah, it's not perfect, but goddamn it's a homemade laser blaster

I like that after I shot Des in the face, the Railroad guys cried THE RAILROAD WILL NEVER DIE!

xth for finding happiness in the harsh wasteland

It's an idea, not a person. Kill Des and everyone in the room and you haven't killed the idea of freeing synths, which someone else will pick up.

you're not drugging and fucking them like sfm user

Is Trainwiz going to stop modding or has he gone... to the Club?

You can't pollute a shithole user
that's redundant

Ackshully you can. *pushes up glasses*
Watch me.

They just autismo you. They're all flashy and not bashy.
I can take them head on with shitty combat armor and not get rekt.
That is on vanilla. Only if you have survival or something they may pose a problem, but even then, they stand there roaring and throwing dirt and they don't get an attack off.
They aren't as big a threat as they used to be.

They hit like wet cardboard and get hit like wet cardboard. Either you've got a DR of fuckall or you've got a mod that buffs them.

Why are the CoA so comfy, /fog/?

Aside from their crazy leader they're pretty much the best faction in this DLC. Turn raiders into decent people, help jet addicts etc etc.

I already said I was part of it.

I think for the most part it's that they're a formerly very hostile faction that welcomes you into their ranks and treats you as kin.

Wow. This video almost made FO4's story seem compelling.

That does sound like a "Hold my beer" moment.

>a stereotypical trailer makes a story seem compelling
wat did he mean by this

I'm not usually one for machinima, but that did feel like FO4 directed by Hideo Kojima.

Worth a watch.

eh not really

>facing a death claw while not wearing power armor
Admittedly, I've never faced them with my paper skinned Charisma fag or my sneaky sniper outside of the story event.

What do you think Veeky Forums is?

Ah, another shill out to make pennies on the dollar.

>"I'm too good for this sort of menial entertainment."

Good going arsehole.

don't really need the money actually.

Then why even join with them? What reason should anyone pay for mods?

Explain this to me.

Why sell out if you don't want the money?

Being remembered as a hebrew master will not improve your reputation.

Who are you quoting?

because I want to make DLC with them. They give a shitload of supports and resources, so that's nice.

Please don't sex the deathclaws.

Just don't buy them sweetie it's just that easy.

a namefag on Veeky Forums bitch lmao what reputation.

Some of you guys are delusional beyond belief it's amazing.

That's all they're good for now.
KEEP AT IT

And here we go again.

TL;DR - The resources that Bethesda are offering their outsourced-DLC devs are tempting enough that he took them out on the offer.

Double TL;DR - It isn't paid mods, its outsourced microtransaction DLC - you actually have to work to deadlines, get access to QA and artists/assistance from BGS devs.

Lost

>because I want to make DLC with them
For what reason?

/ss/ time

I just said.

>Isn't paid mods
>It's outsourced micro transactions DLC

I'd let people call it paid mods because the other is fucking cancer and shouldn't be supported.

But scare lizards are supposed to scare.

SS? user, this is a Blue Board!

You're right, it is cancer, but the point is that it is manifestly not paid mods.

Mechanically it is an entirely different thing, you get a contract, you get vetted, they're only looking for certain types of mod devs (ones who have a proven track record and do their shit themselves. Although their standards are already horseshit, because apparently Elianora got in)

>ywn be 10yr old shaun sucking on Nora's teet
Why even live?

They're only scary in NV and 3.
They don't announce their presence with a faggy roar. Hell, they're not supposed to have vocal cords save a few.
All you hear is their spurs jingle jangle, and your head fall off...

>I'd let people call it paid mods because the other is fucking cancer and shouldn't be supported.

Let me get this straight:

1. Bethesda makes shit game
2. Waits for people to modify the game so it's actually playable and fun
3. Buys these people to make mods for them so they can make a profit

Sounds about right does it? Just think to yourself: why doesn't Bethesda make a good game in the first place? There's no money in that. Mods as they are right now are demonstrably FINE.

So thanks dude, thanks for going down this road. Really appreciate it :^)

/tesg/, fuck off.

Can't lose the game if you've already won the game

...

Mind you Bethesda is already advertising this BS as "ALL NEW!"
Trainwiz, is this really ALL NEW?

Is this comment supposed to make any sense?

Bethesda don't make a good game because they're incapable of making good games and have no competitors to scare them into making good games.

Also, fun fact, becoming a CC author doesn't stop them modding and they can't put anything they were working on prior to signing up to the CC on as CC content. Basically, they are contracted to work on something specific to the CC.

>They said I could be anything
>So I became a shovel

Still haven't switched back to Combat Armor

Yes, hiring people who are proven, or at least have the semblance of, competence and an established reputation is usually par the course for the industry.
Like I said, it's nice. I get to work with them, they provide stuff, I get official DLC and my stuff as canon.

Actually no it's more like

1. Bethesda makes mediocre game
2. Bethesda wastes money on DLC
3. Fanbase is already making DLC-sized mods
4. Create system for those modders to instead just build DLC with help of Bethesda

ALL NEW system will look like this

1. Bethesda makes mediocre game
2. Game is flooded with DLC by modders and bethesda for years to come (min resources on bethesda's part, no huge money being spent) and that isn't even including the external mods you can load

wew was that so hard

>not paid mods
>it's outsourced DLC
>paying modders to make mods
>implying it isn't an attempt to starve the modding community of talent and to jew modders out of a fair share of money that they could easily make by asking for donations

>If they don't scare then they sex

>god trainwiz why don't you hate the game like we do you shill!

Honestly it's gotten to the point where people directly contradict themselves just so they can be perpetually mad for whatever reason.

>hey guys we barely know about how CC will thoroughly work
>UGH AND THATS THE PROBLEM!
>hey guys people can still mod shit and work on CC content
>UGH AND THATS THE PROBLEM!
>hey guys Train is shit anyways who cares what xir does
>UGH AND THATS THE PROBLEM!

just end it

Yep. That's how it works.
Welcome to reality.
Hell, even spoopy things can be for lewd.

Not going to happen user, most modders are social maladjusts with ego problems - BGS are expecting them to behave professionally, meet deadlines, etc which they'll never fucking manage.

Too many prima donnas in the mod community, not enough genuine, stable people with talent.

>to jew modders out of a fair share of money that they could easily make by asking for donations
Outside of sex mods no modder makes that much money. The highest paid one is Elianora, who makes 5k a year.

>Yes, hiring people who are proven, or at least have the semblance of, competence and an established reputation is usually par the course for the industry.
On par with the Bethesda model more like. Some game developers actually don't go down the paid mod avenue, neat huh?

>Like I said, it's nice. I get to work with them, they provide stuff, I get official DLC and my stuff as canon.
That sounds very fantastic. For you.

I don't hate the game, I hate the fact that we're supposed to clap and bow to absolute charlatans who are telling us this ALL NEW system is ALL NEW never been tried before you seriously don't know HOW MUCH FUN it is to BUY CREDITS to pay for this you can ALREADY GET for FREE! :D

user, most companies outsource DLC. The only difference here is that rather than hiring companies, they're hiring contractors.

Good grief, this is like watching a rich entitled brat discovering that most people need to work to live.

>Some game developers actually don't go down the paid mod avenue, neat huh?

No, but contracting out people for design work, code work, model work, etc, is standard in the industry. More than standard, most studios do it for pretty much every game. Hell there are studios out there that are solely contract-based studios.

>bro like lmao y u getting mad about a company wanting you to pay for things you can already get for free? lol like bro calm down I don't even know y ur mad, u mad bro?

I can do that too.

How much money are we talking?

Because after Bethesda's cut you'll be making ten percent, and people are going to look at the free modding community and say 'can you make something like that but free'? And the free modding community will.

>cut
It's commissioned contract work, you don't get a cut.

>Good grief, this is like watching a rich entitled brat discovering that most people need to work to live.
Nah worse, he still hasn't come to the conclusion that the world doesn't revolve around him. Train is supposed to appeal to his every whim.

>bro like why aren't you shouting at the sky like me bro

5K for barely any work, slapping shit together and calling it a home is pretty sweet though. Let's not forget context.

We don't actually know how much money they get, as it is NDA'd, but it is not a royalties system.

They get paid a set amount for the contract, I guess at several points across the contractual period.

(So.. basically, again, a standard industry contractor system)

Overwatch report 2:

Lost track of the targets on the outskirts of Boston, either Protector is on to me or one of them has supernatural luck. As they passed through I got ready to follow when a pack of raiders came straight for my position with a prisoner and spoils in tow, turns out it was their hole and explained the smell.

Took a couple bad hits in the shootout but their prisoner turned out to be a doctor of some kind, damn skilled too, named Curie. Description approximately 5'9, Caucasian female, short brown hair, green eyes. Recommend for potential recruitment due to skills and medical knowledge. Escorted her to Diamond City in return for treatment, potential destination of targets seemed to be somewhere on the east side, across the river or before is unknown. Will resume threat assessment after bleeding stops.

End report

Don't forget the people wanting to fuck the robots and deathclaws.

>to pay for things you can already get for free?
New DLC already exists for free?

But it is basically a half-measure to kill free modding, and if Bethesda gets away with it other people will try it.

Do not be confused: death by degrees is a real thing.

We need more of that though honestly.
