Fallout 4 V24: You're Tied to This Thread Kid, Your Energy - Games

[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;49531341]Why the hell is Refreshing Beverage a thing, or at least a thing that's so easily attainable? It means addiction and rads are basically not a concern in the slightest.[/QUOTE] Handicaps against the player are virtually not allowed since apparently that makes the player "have a bad time", at least that's the only conclusion I've come to. [QUOTE=myng;49531644]Apparently there's no list for fallout 4's addictive substances. ...[/QUOTE] But there is? [url]http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_4_consumables[/url] There's even an "addiction" tab to sort by. [editline]14th January 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Everything;49533255]... some nuka bottles are smaller than others?[/QUOTE] Depends on where you picked it up, the designers that were doing all the placing items and whatnot, sometimes change the size of an item to match what they're doing. That's best seen with the teddybear diorama's you see everywhere.

I don't see the problem with refreshing beverage. As far as I know it's only craftable so you can just never have it exist if you don't want it in your playthrough.

I know I've found at least a couple quantums in those, and I happen to have two bottles of quantum that are smaller than the rest which I found laying around.

Oblivion and Skyrim had the same thing, you would occasionally find things like abnormally huge crystal balls or really tiny wine bottles

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;49533495]Is Quincy the only place you can find Rippers? The only time I've ever found one was there.[/QUOTE] grunt leveled gunners use it at higher levels

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;49533495]Is Quincy the only place you can find Rippers? The only time I've ever found one was there.[/QUOTE] I found one on a table at West Everett Estates. Area was crawling with Super Mutants and Mutant Hounds.

So I managed to jetpack up to the top of the Mass Fusion building from the outside. Upon arriving up top, the synth teleport gfx would start, and the Mass Fusion mission would begin. Sequence-breaking ahoy. Tempted to try this after I finish the main story for the Minutemen.

[QUOTE=Conro101;49534177][sp]But whose side were you on when the mission started? Brotherhood?[/sp][/QUOTE] Nuclear Option's started for the Minutemen.

[QUOTE=Aaron0000;49534367]Mass Fusion's started for the Minutemen.[/QUOTE] Is there a way to get a jetpack very early? If so we may have finally found the 30-minute route we were looking for.

Jesus christ, hundreds of hours into the game and still, right from day 1, literally every time I equip a molotov cocktail, in my head I hear the GTA 2 narrator/announcer yell "MOLOTOV COCKTAILS!" It's just getting maddening now :worried:

[QUOTE=Everything;49534428]Is there a way to get a jetpack very early? If so we may have finally found the 30-minute route we were looking for.[/QUOTE] I think you'd need you do some Idiot Savant grinding for that, since you need Level 41 to get Level 4 Armorer and Science.

Actually, if there's a model nearby that you can propsurf (engine block and a couple others work), you could get up top at level 1, in theory.

sucks that there isn't any way to just build planks and regular plywood pieces to barricade windows or door ways. i'd kill for some protection that doesn't look like ass to cover any settlement prefab that has windows open everywhere (ie taffington boathouse)

I finally discovered a legendary pipe rifle. After endless amounts of legendary armor pieces that I don't need.

I wish legendary weapons and armor would at least level appropriately from the bottom up. Sick of finding leather garbage and pipe pistols.

[QUOTE=TheRealRudy;49535612]a please no for the love of god don't introduce anything scaled, systems like those suck[/QUOTE] literally everything else is already scaled

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;49535877]Hand placed loot > random/scaling dissapointment[/QUOTE] Oh yes, I'm sick of those safes with guaranteed pipe/10mm pistol, about 3 types of ammo, pre- war money, and a piece of silver junk. Everytime.

[QUOTE=Everything;49533424]Maybe the smaller ones are designed to fit in the nuka vending machines? I know I've found at least a couple quantums in those, and I happen to have two bottles of quantum that are smaller than the rest which I found laying around.[/QUOTE] It's to have variety, and match the fact that there's different sized soda bottles.

[QUOTE=Owlet;49535943]Oh yes, I'm sick of those safes with guaranteed pipe/10mm pistol, about 3 types of ammo, pre- war money, and a piece of silver junk.

[QUOTE=Max;49531528]It's also the fastest healing item in Survival, and don't need an animation like stimpacks. Basically your go-to "oh fuck im about to die" healing item. Just give it a hotkey and spam the button[/QUOTE] Meh, foods should have a forced eating animation like with Skyrim's "HC" Frostfall survival mod imo! [editline]15th January 2016[/editline] Also is there anyone here who..... Does not steal anything, and does not use drugs? For fun. I do sell drugs though (and some foods) I mean, if someone was the "Savior of Wasteland" or w/e., it would be immersion breaking to do that kinda stuff. (I did however steal a single Nuka Cola for the thirsty guy at DC.) [editline]15th January 2016[/editline] Yes, these type of gameplay-decisions are what matters to me.

I take everything that I can carry and use all drugs

[QUOTE=TheRealRudy;49536176]looking at the op right now, that new f4 description sounds silly; "Fallout 4 takes place in the year 2287, ten years after the events of Fallout 3 and 210 [B]years after a Third World War over natural resources that ended in a nuclear holocaust in 2077. The setting is a post-apocalyptic retro-future[/B]" that is litterly the description of every fallout game so far, it's not needed to tell again about the great war nor that it's retrofuturistic post-apocalyptic, especially since that's already covered in the first part of the op. also it's not called the third world war, but the resources wars. Not many countries were waging war against each other, it was mainly china against america where most of the blood was shed, and mainly not even in those countries themselves because most were just living the "american dream" while shit went down behind the curtains. then ofcourse it all ended in the great war we all know and love. i'd recommend going a bit more in depth about the "conflict" that plagues the commonwealth, with the institute and all that jazz[/QUOTE] Not everyone who played Fallout 4 has played every other game bro, treat it like a disclaimer, you might already know it but not everybody else does.

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;49536136] Also is there anyone here who..... Does not steal anything, and does not use drugs? For fun.

[editline]15th January 2016[/editline] Yes, these type of gameplay-decisions are what matters to me.[/QUOTE] I often do runs like that, but that's only because i can't be arsed to put points in sneaking (F3/NV) and I play with project Nevada (which features bullet time) so i never feel the need to take buffout, jet, etc the only meds i ever actually take are stimpacks, (obviously) hydra, (in NV) and those mentats any more than that and it just becomes a hassle trying to keep track of everything you need to take. however, I do have one rule when playing fallout/skyrim that i must be addicted to at least one thing, it makes it more interesting

[QUOTE=TheRealRudy;49536231]i said it doesn't need to be covered again in fallout 4's description because "that's already covered in the first part of the op." why waste the text when you can talk about fallout 4's events instead. also, they should watch fallout 1's intro if they want to be up speed on pre-war events without spoilers or reading text lol.[/QUOTE] It might be covered in the first part but it's a copy and paste bro, come on, there's fuck all to say about the events of Fallout 4 without spoiling the start of the game, I didn't know shit about [sp]Shaun getting nicked[/sp] so why spoil it in the OP for others who are the same.
