a lot of survival gameplay banks on you having a handle on the basic gameplay imo. Try survival and if it makes you burst a testicle just switch down
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;50634968]So, if I'm a first time player of Fallout 4, but an experienced Fallout 3 and New Vegas hardcore mode (even with jsawyer) player, should I start out with normal difficulty or Survival?[/QUOTE]
I'd say just go for it on Survival. Maybe get a quick save mod to avoid the most annoying aspect of Survival. I've only ever played the game on Survival, albeit starting on the original version anyway.
I actually kinda like the idea behind saving only at beds, seems like a good way to avoid my save-scumming tendencies. Keeps me honest.

Yet when you've progressed roughly 2 hours without being able to find a bed, and then get into a fight where a molotov comes your way and kills you in one hit,
It makes you want to not be honest.
And the best survival save system anyway is a periodic saving system. A save every 15 - 30 minutes would work just as well as the current system, if not better.

Get the mod that add a quick button to just save at beds without needing to sleep then at least
Taking quick naps at every bed just to save progress gets old (and too long) quickly
I wouldn't mind the lack of quicksaving for survival too if it had an option to make a one-time load quicksave when you exited the game though. Lost count of how much progress i lost because i was in the middle of exploring somewhere and had to turn the game off and no beds or matresses anywhere nearby. Looks like this is getting added though which is good.

I mean, there is almost as many mods for fo4 already, as there is for fo3/fnv, but almost all of it looks like trash, or is about the settlement system. Very little gameplay changing mods and actually fun stuff.
It's actually kinda disappointing.[/QUOTE]
Fallout 3 didn't get all that many mods in its lifetime (at least not on the Nexus), and New Vegas has a relatively smaller community.

It usually takes major gameplay mods a few years to come out, because the modders need time to accustom themselves to the new framework, usually need the features added by DLC, and will often just take time to come up with something good at all.

Funny you mention that. In the latest beta patch the game saves when you exit to the main menu, even on survival. Then it deletes itself when you load it.

Thanks again for all the feedback and criticism on this while I was creating it.
Edit:
Oh my god, if I had a dollar for every rookie mistake I made with this mod so far, I could buy you all a copy of bad rats.
Never expect stuff like overhauls, quest mods, etc within three months of modding tools being out.
[URL="http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/15819/?"]Speaking of quest mods, I haven't tried it yet, but I think we've got our first really good one.[/URL] Video kinda sucks but it clearly shows some good features.

There was also a quest mod involving a ghoul a while back that looked small but ok, but I forgot its name

Is the geck still in beta?
Oh yes, for fans of Warhammer 40k Space Marine Power Armour, a modder has done a pretty great version using the Power Armour system, as well as Bolters.

I've been getting pretty good feedback thus far - one guy linked me a tutorial on placing legendaries, and there's a general consensus that reload speed is pretty fast. I'm hoping to get a new version out before the end of the weekend to address that.
The only other major thing left is to figure out why my muzzle flashes are broken.

[quote]Gives X-01 Institute Power Armor (with 200% Health) to Father, all the Institute Division Heads, and all non-unique Institute Coursers. As well as giving Legendary Modified Institute Rifles to all aforementioned NPC's. XD
I have made Institute NPCs such as Father and Dr. Li Essential instead of protected meaning you wont be able to complete quests that require you to kill those NPCs[/quote]

For me, a lot of FO:NV's stuff is sorta blocked off in a sense, cause i just can't bring myself to do evil shit. I mean sometimes i'll quicksave and try to murder as many people as i can, but then i'll just go back to doing the good guy stuff. I tried to start an evil run, but i just couldn't murder all the townsfolk and stick with it. It just didn't work for me.

the best ways to be evil in new vegas don't require you to (directly) murder anyone
being mean to christine for example made me feel worse than rampaging through goodsprings
and despite how little content they had, the final mission for the legion is the best one. worth at least one (and only one) playthrough aligned with them

I actually once did a pacifist run of New Vegas. I roleplayed as a really selfish thief who otherwise refused to kill anyone, out of a sense of personal challenge. At the end of the game I had no kills, max reputation in nearly every faction, and very evil karma.
version 0.3.0 of the NCR Ranger armor should come out in a few hours
says it's going to include:
[quote]
NCR Veteran Ranger Outfit and accessories
Desert Ranger outfit and accessories
Pre-war Riot Gear and accessories
Advanced and Elite Riot Gear armor and rebreathers
Functioning vision modes, toggleable by iron sights
A return of the Anti-Materiel Rifle with mod support; Take the mantle of the NCR’s finest, or make use of your “Gun Nut” knowledge to fabricate your own fully-automatic receiver and turn your enemies into paste!
A return of the heavy-handed Hunting Revolver, a multitude of modifications both new and vanilla, as well as unique variants I’m sure you will all remember fondly.
More outfits, strategically placed around the commonwealth for you and your companions to find.
Unprecedented customization options: Bandoliers, armor add-ons, paintjobs, patches, and decals. Be the Ranger YOU want to be![/quote]
Any alternatives for Ressurection?
Does anyone have fireworks not working bug in Contraptions DLC? I've tried switched power line and that didn't work. It's hooked on computer if that matters.

My load times are fine on an SSD.
I had forgotten what load times were until I moved Payday 2 from my SSD.
Fallout 4 has been on my SSD and its awesome and I'm scared if I ever have to take it off.

There's something wrong with your game (or your SSD, but hopefully not), I have the game installed on a 7200RPM hard drive and it takes about 1-2 seconds to load through doors.
