Fallout General - /fog/

Got given the game on ps4. Does that make me half a moron?

Oh, on bethesda's mod thing? Never bothered to sign up. I browsed through a while ago and none of the mods really seemed worth the effort.

Well it's up to you then, I signed up and modded my game but I get that some people just don't feel like bothering with modding.

That said, any tips? I now there's the National Guard Training Yard and the at mansion with the basement full of ghouls to farm off, but NGTY seems to never drop anything impressive or high leveled.

National Guard Training building was my favorite farming spots before I said fuck it and installed mods, Hubris Comics is another good spot. Everything scales with your level, so the chance to get say a plasma gun at lower levels is slim.

Thanks user, that's really helpful. I always assumed loot scaled off the level of the enemy, because I've never had the lowest tier enemies drop high tier weapons.

hhhnnnnggg

You'd need an area that's relatively high level, probably your best bet is running around the certain Nuka World skirmish locations as high leveled legendaries spawn often enough.

I went to croup manor, got a rocket launcher on my second try. Now, a question.

My missile launchers do 513 damage. Do I go for twoshot or instigating? I suppose two shot.

Two shot, there aren't any missile launcher modifications that increase the base damage so you always get the maximum damage without even upgrading it.

You can still install the legendary modifications mod, as it adds no new assets last I checked. It's simply a plugin file.

>get mods and manually edit the levelled lootlists to get rid of the retarded skyrim enchantments and Borderlands memeguns
>meanwhile console cucks actually farm for them

Give one good reason my gun should shoot out one bullet when instead it can shoot out two?

>pre-war experimental radiation powered receiver that clones the projectile once it leaves the barrel

So i was thinking of playing NV again lately, but coming back from Fo4 made me cringe to the point that i've stopped when i reached Novac due to combat

anything that would make me come back to NV and Fo4 /fog/ ? really, i don't want to spent an entire month being forced on playing Legion and i miss playing something that it makes me giggle for a while, i was even going to ask about skyrim since SSE64 is now a thing, but then i remember how shit /tesg/ is for help.

dare to agree with op but his cait looks better, though i feel that cait mod isn't on nexus any longer :\

>Actually playing the game instead of just cheating to get instant gratification like a child

How disgusting.

Getting some semblance of good taste might help.

>playing the game

Oh how neat, I've never seen this encounter before.

speech should be less about charm and more about how willing they are to believe you

lies, threats, or just arguments should all be covered under speech
bartering should be just that, making trades, either for materials or cash
charisma should affect far more than just dialogue checks, and while they should exist, it should be more the very base that your dialogue choices are built upon
low charisma should get you jack shit in the way of dialogue options outside of what is absolutely necessary, ie a 1 cha meathead asking for a shopkeepers life story is gonna get told to fuck off ten out of ten times, doesnt mean he cant buy shit, just means hes never gonna get the option to do more than that, while someone with 10 cha might get a bunch of different map markers, quest hints or other valuable information out of someone just by clicking through flavor dialogue

so in a way it HAS to affect speech and barter, but not in such an inorganic way as to hard cap skill progression
think of it more like strength and its relation to melee damage, having a character with 100 melee weapons is till gonna be able to wield the weapon, but because his str modifier is low hes gonna be going notably less damage than someone with 10 str
the skills you level need to absolutely be tied in that way to the character you create, someone with flat 1s in every stat shouldnt be comparable in any way to someone with flat 10s even if their skill levels are equal or you risk making special semi-meaningless and every character becomes an identical 10 int genius just for the sake of getting the most out of the game via skill points

nah i've burned out with new vidya, also i had to do work for a while.

nvm, the cait mod still exists

Are there any post apocalyptic game you can recommend to me /fog/ ? Already played the Fallout, Stalker, Wasteland and Metro series.

Not Cataclysm DDA
Caves of Qud though it's more fantasy

Minecraft

Man, I'm not a very picky person but I could not return to those graphics.

...

>Can't assign kids tasks in a settlement
Dirty freeloaders

For me it's ambient music. Or at least sounds. Caves of Qud has music and sounds, but DDA doesn't have shit. It's really weird and makes gameplay kinda shit, because audio indicators are good ways for the player to grasp what is happening around them without outright trying to tell you via text spam, like DDA.

They really dropped the ball with Father.

Charisma is a prerequisite for being able to pull off specific lines. If you are charming, people will be willing to let you get away with bullshit that they wouldn't tolerate from someone who wasn't as charming.

Think of it as being ugly or attractive.

Is there a BoS version?

Keep an eye that Father's VA is a CERTAIN SHITTY WIZARD, so probably they had to rush his dialogue because of Blizzard putting pressure

Wait, I just remembered one game that I wanted to check out but forgot the name: it's an isometric post-apoc RPG that takes place in a metro (at least at the beginning) and has a bit of retro graphics reminiscent of the original Fallout.

>isometric post-apoc RPG that takes place in a metro

threw the above into google and up came this

Stop playing fallout 3 and 4

What about Frost

What if I like 3, NV, and 4?

fuck Chads. In the end, we evil scientists will win because we are smarter than these dumbfucks

>189565610

Or do it like wasteland 2?

A high Charisma can make you charming but a low charisma more intimidating

are you using "Start Me Up"? that should only spawn you a short jog away from Vault 111 to get you started on the main quest

I just began F4 and I don't give a fuck about his son. What do I do ?

That sets a weird precedent though. Why would high strength be automatically good, while low strength is automatically bad when Charisma wasn't that way?
Build settlements
Don't save the dudes in Concord. Like, avoid them at all costs.
Eventually bumble into the main quest anyways and complete it for xp.
Do DLC.

Wiki says 2014 but wasn't Fallout 4 2015?

they were working on legion already during that time

The fuck are you on about? There's plently of single player RPGs where you have to farm for rare drops, many existing before multiplayer RPGs were even conceptualized.

>Bethesda adds clean, laundered and new items to the game
>Can find economic and industrial strength cleaners, soaps and detergents ingame
>Can make washing machines from a box of scraps in a mancave
>Retards still think cleaning your clothes with a bit of soap in a bucket is a lore shattering event
I will never understand /fog/

Didn't Wasteland 2 have Hard-Ass, Kiss-Ass and Smart-Ass abilities, though? Like Intimidation, Persuation, and SARCASM.

Yes.

>Hey son, it seems pretty evident from the missions you have given me so far than Gen 3 Synths are just a bad idea and closely monitored primitive robots would be just as beneficial to the Institute as a work force on surface without any of the risk or conflict.

>No no, they are fine don't worry about it dad.

At least in the end your dad in 3 gave the wasteland some fresh water, the Synths just seem to cause nothing but problems and Father is too concerned with saving face than to admit the whole project probably should have stopped before Gen 3.

But muh autonomy will allow them to function long term without needing input and task correction from their masters!

Except from what we have seen, the Institute has to work closely with synths anyways or they get out of hand and stop doing what they want.

Yes but if your group had overall low charisma, most consider them jerks-assholes etc.

And would refuse to join, and i believe hard-ass worked better in low charisma characters could be wrong though

Fucking have to butter up Deacon be4 i can kill them all

Underrail.

CITIZENS OF DALARAN!

Is there a proper fix for NV/FO3 third person camera yet?
IIRC the bullets come out at a weird angle, missing the crosshair

This.
It's very much a Fallout-inspired experience, complete with skill redundancy. However if you want your fix of isometric late 90's RPG it's great.

>tfw unironicaly using a borderlands meme gun mod

i unironically like some of those like the Prowling Masher.

Are there any good energy weapon mods?
I need to pew pew

DeadPool2099 is developing a Wattz laser rifle
nexusmods.com/fallout4/images/83999/?

Alternatively you could take the assets out of that Prototype Gauss Rifle CC mod you no doubt have in your inventory and add it into the game yourself.

There's probably a lot more but those immediately come to mind.

Do you have the one with the t-51 doing the anime ahegao v-thing with its fingers

Spoonfeed me the mod

Post happy companions.

Cait's neck is clipping with the shirt. She must be synth

>the anime ahegao v-thing
You mean peace signs?

Then I guess I'm a synth lover.

Funny how it can happen, just like that.

no

>and closely monitored primitive robots would be just as beneficial to the Institute as a work force on surface without any of the risk or conflict.
Except this isn't true at all.

In act, the whole reason synths were made in the first place is because normal robots suck at being a workfroce.

Being a outcast must be suffering
Outcasts 2: electric boogaloo: commonwealth edition mod when?

You're a SJW so that'd be no surprise

You should actually go back and learn the lore of the BoS.

Back in Fallout 1, the BoS helped out wastelanders, even protected The Hub from raiders, and helped the fledgling Shayd Sands reintroduce technology back into the wastes.

It was only between Fallout 2 and NV that they went full isolationist. The Outcasts even helped Lyons protect people for years, even after the West Coast had cut off communication, and only left because Lyons refused to go look for tech in Fort Independence.

This meme that they left because of helping people is wrong, the BoS has always helped people. They left because Lyons wasn't going out and collecting tech, while Maxson is.

lol

Being a regular human who happened to want to join the science nerd team must be suffering.

Tactical benis in progress.

Its honestly pretty shitty because the whole FEV program was secret to most everyone in The Institute except the Director, and the head of the SRB(and the people working on the project obviously)

Stop, just... stop

max agility in the character creator

this is so you can run away. attack then run away and npcs use all their ap to come in range

save often, don't go north, it works like NV with high level mobs except its hard to avoid/kill them

critical strikes are almost always 1 hit kills

i expect it to lower your aim and make a buzzing noise.

>constantly vibrating dildo that makes aiming impossible
Fund it.

I want to nut in Nat while she's wearing a t-51b power armor
