My nv character had a huge crush on Julie. So her, if you only want one name.

post milk truk babes

even better user

...

4 posts in, we got caitfag tits tits piper
what a wonderful thread this will be

MOMMY

I think I may have a problem... Or at least a type...

I often feel like I should like Piper more than I do... Actually I feel that way about a lot of the game; "I should like this, so why do I just not give a fuck?"

...

...God dammit. Looking back, I think she looked better with smaller tits, even with the clipping issues.

I feel the same way desu

I don't know if it's my personal dislike of journalists or if the game making her come on too strongly but she just doesn't do anything for me.

Anybody have a non-malware infested site I can download Updates v1.10, v1.10.26 and v1.10.40 for fallout 4?

>every fallout game will be like fallout 4 now

Why do you even have clipping issues? Did you forget to batch convert all the armors?

Would be neat if they fired Emil and gave us some decent writing for once.

I still prefer her with ridiculous honkers

we can still dream

> if they fired Emil
Not gonna happen
> gave us some decent writing for once
Could happen, since emil is no longer writer

>Why do you even have clipping issues?
Didn't know how to use the mods and bodyslide etc. properly back then... And I've forgotten how to revert them now. Ah well; it's not like I mind massive milktanks.

How's the back? Call 1-800-GIV-PLSMA-DFNDR

It's not just Cait... Literally every aspect of the game I liked a bit, but had this constant feeling at the back of my head that I shouldn't. That feeling just got stronger over time until I stopped and just realised, "Wow, this game is actually lazy, shallow, poorly-written, poorly-designed crap." And yet I KEPT PLAYING IT-!

Doubt beth would do voiced protag again

Besides that was your "issues" with FO4

I think a lot of the problems with 4 can be traced back to basic game design.

You have all these different people trying to make their own game. Some want a first person shooter, some want an open-world crafting sandbox, some want an immersive narrative...at the end of the day, you kind of forget you're supposed to be working on a RPG.

FO4 was one of Bethesda's most ambitious projects to date, but its lack of direction and communication between developers kind of gimped what they were able to do. That's not even getting into the problems with lore, internal consistency and such.

not them but

>no karma/reputation so everything is either consequence free or evokes blind hostility

>heavy handed plot tokens (piper, railroad courser decoding) choke up the flow
just feels like they gutted the sandbox heart out of it and set everything on rails. Voiced protag had a lot to do with that but it goes down to design level

>mods you want related to other things you're a fan of
A good Alien mod would be pretty sick. One that has good textures, custom sounds and different types of xenomorphs-- probably also a Xenoclaw or something.

Just spook my shit up.

KLE0 companion with romance.

Piper Wright is the right choice to write the paper about synth rights, right?

Dragon Age Inquisition had a clothing crafting system that let you design your outfit with materials and patterns and colors and stuff like that. fo4 already has the "collect stuff and then bring it back and make stuff" theme, so it seems like it would e sorta easy to create a system where you can find specific items, like an old stash of denim in Fallons or some red dye at the paint store and stuff like that, and bring it back to a new crafting workbench and use it to create new clothes, that you can integrate into the craftable settlement clothing stores that are already in the game.

>but its lack of direction and communication between developers kind of gimped what they were able to do.

If they had no direction and no communication there wouldnt be a Fallout 4 or any kind of software product.

All the problems that made Fallout 4 what it is resided at the very PLANNING stage. After that, they were all set to make a game. You have no idea of what you are talking about.

This,

>download Alien USMC Weapons pack
>get one weapon
>doesnt have original sound

FUKKEN DROPPED.

A mod that adds Mass Effect armor andor weapons would be cool, but overpowered as hell.

I'm about to start Fallout again after failing my last playthrough (I couldn't escape Mariposa base because I had no way of disabling the green forcefield) and I have few questions, just to be sure that I do not fuck this up again
>I'm going to tag Small Gun, Lockpicking and Speech, it's a good set up right?
>Should I raise my science and repair skills? I'd like to explore The deeper level of The Glow and I think it will be needed
>what is the best way to disable those green forcefield?

damn it, Caits AI completely broke, she doesn't follow when asked to, she is stuck and even if you dismiss her, she doesn't actually move to her home no matter how much I wait but just stands about the same place. Amusingly enough it happened just after I did her quest

He looks creepy

>machinima

>everyone is essential
This is bad how?
>new perk system is overly specialized and missing the fun gimmicks of the old one
Gimmicks are exactly what they are, you are complaining that FO4 is bad but you want gimmicks in the game
>no karma/reputation so everything is either consequence free or evokes blind hostility
Karma was stupid system the companion affinity system is way better though has its problems at times
The faction system was not that great the only good thing to come from that was the disguise system
>very few skill checks
Lack of skills to begin with
>heavy handed plot tokens (piper, railroad courser decoding) choke up the flow
just feels like they gutted the sandbox heart out of it and set everything on rails.
Both NV suffer from this NV with the chip, and Fo3 with tranquillity lane, seems like a common theme is happenening MAIN QUEST
>Voiced protag had a lot to do with that but it goes down to design level
No its straight up laziness

>everyone is essential
not everyone, no one in the railroad is essential, institute can be killed istantly too

>>everyone is essential
That one is weird as fuck because its all over the place.
Everyone in RR HQ is not essential, ditto for Prydwen crew, everyone from Prestons crew beside Preston etc but that random Sully guy fron Thicket excavations is immortal, Dr Sun, shitload of NPC's in DC etc.
I never understood this shit.

weird, if I give her a
>move there
order she follows that, but otherwise she wont follow me, I tried disabling and reenabling, but it didn't help

>is everyone being essential bad?

for the type of roleplaying bethbyro games aim to bring, yes, absolutely.

wtf i just read on the wiki that Cait likes when the player gets naked, lol, this is actually coded into the game.

>tfw no mod that plays Long Tall Sally during vertibird flight
>tfw no mod where you can circle the AO in vertibird and use minigun to clear the place

That sucks ...

what does that have to do with my problem

yeah

A good doctor who mod
That fo4 one seems to be dead which is a shame

>Minigun has loudspeakers that amplify the gun's noise

The only other game I know of that lets you put noise amplifiers on guns is Army of Two

Sneak ai is all over the place in F4.

i have been building a vault, this is where i would build my clone army but the mod is broken af currently.

Everytime you go for a fast travel while naked, she'll gain affection and comment. She likes to stares at your ass
Cait's a naughty girl

whos brilliant idea was it to make perk tied to journals much more interesting and useful then regular perks from levelling? those journals are a massive pain in the ass to find

On Steam

Does anyone have a copy of F4SE that works with 1.10.26? None of the archived versions on their website works, they're either too old or too new.

Is /v/ here to complain about shit no one cares about again?

Nevermind, found it. In case someone is rifling through the archives for this: f4se.silverlock.org/beta/f4se_0_06_00.7z

>Xenoclaw
A what?

>dood no one cares XD I'm so cool
Kill yourself retard

...

nice back polygons.

...

...kinda want that pole to be smoother and shiny-er.

I am though
Aren't you just jealous of how above it all I am?
I occupy myself with the brighter side of things instead of going on online message boards and telling everyone how miserable they should be for something that doesn't matter.

So I've been playing FO4 for almost a week now. My NV is modded to hell and my FO4 is still vanilla for my first playthrough.

Here's what I've observed of FO4 from NV


+ First things first, it's a straight upgrade from an almost decade old engine
- Still somehow manages to be as clunky as gamebryo at times
+ Power armor is amazingly done and feels just right
- Regular armor is ugly as hell
+ Weapon modding is vastly expanded and really customizable
- But is that Bethesda's excuse for bringing the base weapon variety to 0?
- Hunting Rifle sucks now and has a left hand bolt
- What weapons ARE there aren't all that enticing; the Assault Rifle is ugly as fuck.
-/+ Story isn't nearly as captivating as NV but I personally don't care about the story
+ Graphics look great in some places...
- ...And somehow worse than NV in others
-/+ Don't know what to think of Settlements. They're pretty neat I suppose and base building is fun, but I don't want to end up babysitting half the map. I'm not here to play fucking neopets.
+ Vertibirds, woo
+ Artillery, woo
- Hitboxes are pretty gay
+ Enemy AI now has INT 3 from the INT 1 of Gamebryo Fallout
+ I actually like this perk system compared to NV
+ Dogmeat is a good boy
+ In NV you could have a nonhuman companion plus a human companion. In FO4 you can't (unless you need a perk?). Fucking stupid, there's clearly the groundwork for it as you team up with Doggo and Valentine to hunt cyborg man, but you can't do it permanently. I like the doggo, Danse likes the doggo, we should be able to take the doggo.
-/+ I spent half an hour trying to find out what that meowing noise on the Prydwen was
+ Level design is absolutely amazing and one of my favorite parts
+ Another favorite is that you can literally walk away from dialogue
- New dialogue system is trash and feels like it was put in there for consolebabbies
- Sidequests more captivating than main story
- Sidequests are repetitive
- Beth still thinks making things bullet sponges is hard

My beef with FO4 is the RPG aspects. Every time I think of a new build or character I think, how will this one be different? My answer is always me saying I'm not going to use this feature or that mechanic. That's it.

>Trainwiz detected

>And somehow worse than NV in others

Holy shit but how. Can you post screens of possible.

>My answer is always me saying I'm not going to use this feature or that mechanic. That's it.
Literally every character """build""" for every RPG ever.

Perhaps some semantics. In FO4 to feel like I'm playing a different character my main method has to be to say no or yes to features like settlement building, robo building, power armor. In NV my main method would be to use perks and go through quests in different manners.

Oh and finally

- Game hamfistedly gives you your backstory and personality for you, almost a complete antithesis of a fucking RPG. What if I didn't want to play as a dad looking for his baby boy? What if I didn't want to have a background as a soldier or a lawyer (even if soldier makes more sense), what if, what if...
+ Bethesda seems to have learned shades of gray from Obsidian - the BoS are now perfectly morally ambiguous instead of being jerked off as the default good guys
+ Weapon/armor mod system means you actually have a reason to collect all the fucking junk in the world now
- You are overencumbered and cannot run! Halfway through a quest
+ Beth seems to have borrowed a LOT of elements from the NV mods PN, LP, AP, and others - which is awesome
- I haven't seen any of this paid mods fiasco and game updates breaking everything, but I imagine that's going to be god awful to deal with once I do start modding FO4


Yeah, later. Most of it I saw in the opening sequence before the bombs fell, lighting looked awful.

There's a mod that fixes the problem with Dogmeat and lets you have him and a companion

The point is that you have to mod something into FO4 that was default possible in NV

>DeadPool2099 is making a Bozar
MY FUCKING DICC

>bullpup

>- Game hamfistedly gives you your backstory and personality for you, almost a complete antithesis of a fucking RPG
I really, really wish people here knew what RPG meant. More to the point, where the FUCK are these mythical RPGs where you aren't given a set backstory as a motivator to set out and do shit.

It's been bullpup since NV friendo.

Sucks I guess

...wut

this is what m61 vulcan does to the battlefield.

Fallout has always been loose to firm backstory with a much more open ending
>vault dweller looking for water chip discovers a whole big world
>chosen one from a little tribe whos culture praises the vault dweller after a geck discovers a whole big world
>lone wanderer vault dweller after their papa discovers a whole big world
>courier who blew up a small town in the middle of nowhere he has close ties to is after a plastic casino chip
>sole survival of a vault lawyer/soldier after their son discovers a whole big world

Is pic related the Fallout character most players kill after one conversation?

Fug, you're right, I remembered wrong.
In my defense, I have a pounding migraine right now.

That covers quite a lot, but I really don't think you've really encapsulated it entirely. The biggest issue I find is that it's all so shallow. There's a lot of game there, but I feel next to no reason to connect with or indulge in any of it!

Take settlements for instance; I COULD build them everywhere, make a little house for everyone, decorate it and so on... But why the fuck would I? It's tedious; it feels trivial to have to place everyone's bed and home; there's very little mechanical benefit; and to top it all off, the world just feels EMPTY because it's like Bethesda expected you to provide all the content yourself. But no matter how big and impressive I make Sanctuary or Starlight or wherever, they're just scenery; set-dressing and busywork! It'd be something else if it was less banal and time-consuming, or by building certain things at certain places, you attract certain NPCs who might have quest lines for you, but no... Everything feels like Bethesda just threw it in there with the minimum of work.

>Texture mod
>Gun name embossed on the side
>Name based on the DLC gamebryo object designation

WTF is this nigger doing? Is the BAR going to be embossed with the text "Dead Money Automatic Rifle .308"?

>tfw still can't get my mech arms to work

You don't have to make people miserable, just make them understand what bullshit is and call it out

The one and only.

>Momokun cosplays as Emil

Lottery guy from nipton

That bitch was at least useful.
Vulpes on the other hand....

Good legionfag is dead legionfag.

...

>strongly against the Legion
>supports the very faction that is the most corrupt dictatorship under a "democracy" that is run by the welfare state

>bunch of genocidal faggots in skirts
>their best argument against their enemies is financial corruption

Legionfags, people. Not even once.

Reminder that the only sane option in the world of Fallout 4 is dedicating yourself to the Minutemen and helping the Railroad with basic shit as a side faction. Desdemona is way too fucking blood hungry to be allowed any extended help through that faction's main quest.

Remember Bitter Springs

>Reminder that the only sane option in the world of Fallout 4 is dedicating yourself to the Minutemen and helping the Railroad with basic shit as a side faction.

More like : go full MM with SOME help from BoS but only after destroying Tute as MM to establish themselves as true rulers of Commonwealth.

>helping railcucks
>ever ever
Nigguh plz.

>not going full BoS and then assimilating the MM after blowing up the institute

>Helping Raiders with power armor
GIVE US YOUR RESOURCES OR WE'LL TAKE IT ANYWAY BY FORCE

Well thats why you need to make MM strong, to serve as a counterbalance and keep BoS in line.

Best day of my life.
Fuck khans, raiders, legion and rest of those fags.

>>their best argument
Here:

Dismantle every single argument there without any name-calling, strawman or brainletposting, adding proper quotes and being objective. And this comes from someone who strongly disagrees with the Legion but isn't a redditor sheeplet and is actually able to look at the bigger picture and see the importance of the Legion over every other faction.

Not only did I help the Railroad, I destroyed the Brotherhood with the Minutemen too.

stand on teh ashes of trillion dead souls and ask the ghosts if honor matters.

>expecting me to read all that strawman bullshit

Dismantle deez nuts legionfag.
