/fog/ - Fallout General

First of all Fallout: Cascadia will either fail or be buggy as hell since a team of 10 - 20 amatures modders can't outdo a team 100+ professionals.

I agree wuth you about the arbitary skill system. It just doesn't work with newer games due to Bethesda are pushing for a more dynamic experience instead of a scripted one like you see in Skyrim.

I see the perk system in Fallout 4 as a test, but when Fallout 5 or Tes VI are announced, I expect the perk system to be pretty good.

>creation club is shit
wow what an unexpected twist

The skins are on the Gatling Laser, Hunting Rifle, Combat Rifle and 44 Magnum though. Those are some of the best weapons in the game or have great Legendaries.

post your Caitfags

>buying bethesda games

>Hunting Rifle
Outclassed by the lever action
>Combat Rifle
Out classed by the homemade
>.44
Outclassed by the western revolver

Cascadia's doomed to fail anyway considering the devs are all degenerates. The new world might be neato but I'm expecting a heavily hamfisted story with SJW "morals" and "beliefs" being handed to you as absolute fact.

>Caring about gun stats in a singleplayer RPG where literally anything can work
Quite frankly the Handmade Rifle is complete overkill even at Lv100+.

He probably got the pack that was for the 10mm, Combat Rifle and a few other early-mid game stuff.

>Not only did Eli integrate her items into the proper settlement categories she also gave herself her own settlement category section
nice.

>I'm expecting a heavily hamfisted story with SJW "morals" and "beliefs" being handed to you as absolute fact.

This is what pisses me off about some quest mod authors is that they have to shoehorn their present day views in a game set 250 years in the future in an alternate universe.

but user i have to have the highest numbers so i can kill the inflated healthpool bullet sponge enemies in the legendary difficulty that i hate playing but play anyways so i can pretend to be mlg hardcore pro gamrrr

>superior race of post-war humans
>The Master

I want to marry a deathclaw!

All the packs cover the 10mm, 44 Mag, Combat Rifle, Combat Shotgun, Hunting Rifle, Laser Rifle, Institute Rifle, Gatling Laser and Minigun. Pretty much any gun that doesn't look like a scrappy piece of shit is covered by those skin packs.

Just so you guys know-

This is like the only place on the internet I can have an actual, consistent dialogue about Fallout with. This good shit and you all are great for it.

haha good one user

im not the user who usually posts this image but i think its fitting just this once

I guess both you haven't seen what a discussion about bethesda or Fallout delves into on youtube videos and reddit

Here are the most common lines

>Fallout is not a rpg
>muh yes, yes, yes, sarcastic
>modders can fix everything
>quest mods are better than bethesda's quest
>witcher 3 is a better rpg
>muh kill, loot and repeat

December 15, 2017, the day an user made Caitfag look cynical

You must be shitposting because that's the exact same as what you get here with the added bonus of people spamming their shitty waifu.

we do all of those and more every thread except for the witcher 3 because it was popular for a bit because it was really good and /v/ made it illegal to have ever liked anything to do with the witcher

Help me. I’m an idiot and accidentally took this photo upside-down.

OK

>it was really good

The Witcher 3 is a glorified assassins creed game.

Fallout 4 despite it flaws deserved the game of the years awards over the TW3.

desu TW3 was closer to a zelda game with tits than asso crasso imo

that is because /v/ underage hateboner runs on memes, they kept shitposting about Divinity2 and Setsuna, until i played it thx to a sale, and it was light years better and more polished than CRPG Obsidian games of late like PoE and Tyranny

>Console
>Help "armor name" 4
>Give em to yourself

Fallout 4 is such a departure from the series (even compared to predecessor Fallout 3) that it’s hard to believe it’s a direct sequel. It feels like a borderlands clone at this point.

nah /v/ just cares about being contrarian more than anything else, witcher was their favoritest thing in the world before 3 was popular. now the whole thing is skyrim normie trash that they totally never liked in the first place

Where's caitfag and buffscale? This general isn't shit yet.

What's this borderlands character doing in fallout?

So what should I do to fix the MCM?

she helps you break the game

In a couple months they will probably all be saying how Fallout 4 was the greatest fallout game.

What a shitty meme

Not existing, because I got bored with my playthrough. Didn't help that I can barely run it on my dual 470s.

you snowflakes sound triggered desu

reinstall MCM and nvse, check load order, archive invalidation

>new vegas is remastered
>basically exact same thing but in creation engine and a few more bells and whistles
>achieves minor mainstream success
>/v/ declares new vegas normie trash that they never liked
>/fog/ implodes

Not a whole lot

>trusting /v/'s opinion on anything
I just realized one day that /v/ has shit taste in video games.

/v/ has always been shit, but modern /v/ is nothing but /pol/'s marketing department and contrarianism that makes edgy 12 year olds look rational

>check load order, archive invalidation
???

>/v/ has always been shit, but modern /v/ is nothing but /pol/'s marketing department and contrarianism that makes edgy 12 year olds look rational

They even make legionfags look normal.

make sure MCM.esm is being loaded before anything that relies on it, look up how to do archive invalidation for whatever mod manager you're using, you've probably already done it but toggling it every now and then feels good

I have recently obtained a Curie and now I'm struggling to get her affinity up post-game

Where do I turn archive invalidation on and off?

every mod manager does it differently, use google to figure out how or dig through menus until you find it

if you're mad enough to not use a mod manager use one of the mods on the nexus that does it manually for you

>bring dogmeat to empty settlement
>be companions with curie
>shoot dogmeat

Master would've loved meeting the Enclave, a whole faction of pure humans and a global communications network all ready to join the Unity.
Yeah I realize Cascadia will be shit for plenty of other reasons, I just like to point out their skill system tweak is stupid when I mention how flawed NV's take on incrimental skills is.
Y-you too...
New Vegas IS normie trash though, you saw it this summer when the /cfog/+/fog/ shit was in full swing; virtue-signalling newbies start playing NV, get bored or something, then go to the classics and are completely out of their element then go back to heavily modded NV.

>legion designed specifically to be a ticking time bomb
>supposed to be the "burn everything down and hope something better rises from the ashes" option for when it inevitably implodes after its ending like it was intentionally written to
>legionfags act like it would ever be a massive, perfectly stable empire when it was written specifically to be the exact opposite

My sister wants to play fallout 4 with me she’s going in blind, what mods should I install to make the game more pretty that don’t decrease too much framerate.

vanilla looks fine for blind playthroughs, the game is only two years old and enb for modern games is a meme

Letting me know my life means nothing because I'll never date Ashley Burch

Actually, I found an "Archive invalidation" option on FOMM's "Tools" tab. And it was checkmarked. So I think it's already on.

Still, I downloaded a whole bunch of mods, and yet the MCM option isn't showing up in the pause screen.

>blind first playthrough
>using any mods at all

What happened to /cfog/. Pretty weird that so "many" people prefer fallout nv over fallout 4 despire thst fallout 4 has 10 times the player base.

4 since at least in 3 there were a handful of intelligent super mutants. In 4 it's just Erickson (implied to have been cured by soda) and Virgil (who will notice himself becoming a dumb mutant). even your companion mutant is a murder orc

I went right to Heather in this playthrough, since in my first playthrough I had already gotten to the institute when the mod even came out, so I missed all of her stuff. Her entire personal quest is kellog related, and I recruited her way later. So this time I went and got her before even talking to preston. And sure enough, she comments on the museum and stuff. I'm excited to see her interactions with the early institute stuff and meeting the railroad and killing kellog and all that stuff I missed last playthrough.

Currently I'm just relaxing in Tenpinnes Bluff, adding decorations to the little shacks I'm building for people.

I'm really suspicious of Heather though. She didn't really give a good reason for joining me, it honestly sounded like she was just making one up, and then she hires me to escort her. I'm a stick that sways in a light breeze, you don't hire that to escort you. Super suspicious.

Dogmeat seems to lie her though, and apparently dogmeat is some sort of magical dog, according to Mama Murphy. Oh, who also apparently is magical too. But I've stopped questioning things like that, since all of this is weird and crazy and I'm just taking one thing at a time and my brain is still back at Nate getting shot. Helping these people fight raiders is keeping my mind off it though, and doing something active and good is helping I guess, but I know how this goes. As soon as you have a quiet moment and your brain ins't actively focusing on something, it hits you and you can't help but sit and cry.

In the meantime, these pictures of cats aren't going to put themselves up on the walls.

Pretty damning when a group who claim to be "fallout purist" branch off to make their own general and it becomes so toxic the mod team for Veeky Forums have to tell them never to make another cfog ever again

is MCM still being loaded before anything that needs it?

Who's Erickson?

Far Harbor Mutie who will sell you his puppers.

Pretty sure there were only 2 intelligent super mutants in 3.
fawkes and another one in a random encounter

Oh, sweet. I guess I never ran into him during my 10m playthrough of FAAH HABAAH

Same thing, I downloaded Heather when I was already 70% through the game and I was working with the Institute so I've just ignored her so far. Going to recruit her ASAP on my next save. Not sure what to do other than that though.

>(implied to have been cured by soda)
oh yeah i forgot about that
the fuck was up with that?

Still trying to find the right skin-color hue. Looks a bit like jaundice right now. As for what I'm doing, having done most of the side-quests in Far Harbor, I'm gonna do the main quest there, then move on to Nuka World. First time doing either of them.

desu strong is one of the best things in fo4, because he's just a super mutant
>you have to act like a super mutant to get him to like you, that's why he dislikes everything like getting into power armor
>he genuinely thinks "milk of human kindness" is a real, physical thing that he will drink to be better at killing shit
>he prefers smacking shit with a hammer
>no "oh he's actually an super intelligent outcast mutant who loves humans!" bullshit

I'm doing a new playthrough where I'm just focusing on building all settlements up to max population and having capitals centres with 40/50 settlers. I'm playing along with the story, but are there any mods that fix the ending?

To me, the Institute are the best thing for the Commonwealth with their technology but only if you lead them, whereas the Minutemen are great for defending each settlement and act as a militia for each town. Is there any way to get the Institute ending and the Minutemen ending? I can't blow up the Institute but don't want the Minutemen hating me.

Uncle Leo. I thought there was another one, but I haven't played 3 in years so I could be wrong. What a meme if 3 and 4 both only had 2 smart mutants

>that scarf clipping

>tried to make jungle asian
>no brown skin
FO4 moddng is the worst.

>the fuck was up with that?
Vim! is superior to Nuka-cola and has various amazing properties, which is why the Nuka-Cola offered to buy them out, and since they said no they were attacking and destroying their delivery transport

I usually wear armor over it so it won't show that badly. The Trapper armor looks really bad though.

I would have enjoyed it more if he didn't get pissy about picking locks. I wish you could talk to him about it and if you pick a certain option you would pretend to pull open locks with brute force so he'd like it instead.

>That road littered with landmines just ahead of a Vim truck carrying the themed PA suit
Nuka Cola was fucking relentless.

>What a meme if 3 and 4 both only had 2 smart mutants
user i...

Picking locks wouldn't have been an issue if players could just bash open containers.

It's not even hard to balance, just have the loot drops be 50% less and make military grade stuff indestructible. So despite not taking any skill, you're not as rewarded for investing in picking locks.

>Nuka World was so fortified that it stayed free of settlers for hundreds of years

>bash a lock open with a rocket-powered sledgehammer
>strong loved that
>piper nervously liked that

>What happened to /cfog/.
Not him, but it was closed because it kept hitting page 10 without even reaching 300-400 posts, and most of the posts they got was just people saying howdy to bump the thread

desu its fitting for an exaggerated amalgamation of the irl coca cola and disney corporations

For real though, i can't believe beth made super mutants into cannibal screaming murder ogres twice now
They're literally the exact same in 3 and 4 besides visuals
Like, what the fuck

its pretty well established that west coast and east coast super mutants are different
west coast are remnants from the masters army and east coast are made by plot convenient fev labs
