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

same thing happened to me because I waited until level 40 before finishing jewel of the commonwealth

Throwing in on the discussion from many a thread ago. Apparently the original Fallouts had speech checks set as (speech level)/check level, so that if it matches it would be a success, if it is less, you had the quotient as your chance. So, if your speech skill was 56 and the check was 70, your chance would be 56/70, so you had a 80% chance of making it anyway.

[QUOTE=Everything;49351647]Jesus christ [sp]Swan[/sp] scared the shit out of me when I was taking a shortcut across that area. I had no idea he was even a thing, and suddenly I got blitzed within like two seconds.[/QUOTE] how did you not see the warning scribblings everywhere

[QUOTE=Glent;49353498]I had this happen to me too [sp]I think because I went to Goodneighbor before I went to Diamond City[/sp][/QUOTE] Nah it doesn't matter where you go first. If you manage to talk your way (or pay) your way into the memory den you'll get the quest that way regardless if you have it started already or not.

[QUOTE=Spectre1406;49353661]how did you not see the warning scribblings everywhere[/QUOTE] Never went even close to that location before, and wasn't paying attention :v:

[QUOTE=Everything;49353667]Never went even close to that location before, and wasn't paying attention :v:[/QUOTE] Always wanna pay attention to things around. The one thing Bethesda is really on point with is hiding details in the land.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;49351995]Apart from some minor things it looks fantastic so far. Glad to see you're willing to take criticism because this will probably be one of the first models I get once the GECK is released and we get mods that don't threaten to corrupt save files. As much at least.[/QUOTE] Of course, all critiques are accepted and weighed, and implemented if at all possible; if not, chock it down for next time. I'm on a lunch/dinner/intermission right now, but the stream will be back up in 15 minutes or so at Twitch.tv/dogtoothcg if anyone wants to swing by, I just have to texture the gloves, and than we can start on jury-rigging the mesh as best we can.

You know, thinking on it, this would be a pretty interesting potential scenario for a future addon: [sp]Kellog's remaining consciousness[/sp] takes over [sp]Nick[/sp], who flees to a new area on the other side of the impact crater (or accompanies you or someone else there on other business) before mysteriously disappearing. After an extended series of events, you find him and have no choice but to destroy [sp]Nick's corrupted body[/sp], but you, possibly with the help of someone else, are able to recover [sp]Nick's AI[/sp] and transfer it to either [sp]a new gen 2 synth body if you destroyed the institute[/sp] or [sp]a gen 3 synth body if you either sided with the institute or aren't on bad terms with them yet, making him effectively human again[/sp]. Completing this questline rewards you with the various new weapons, mods and armor you found along the way, several settlements in this new area, and one of two new companion perks for [sp]Nick[/sp] depending on [sp]which new body you moved him to[/sp].

[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;49354053]If you're so quick to call everyone who critiques Fallout 4 "haters," just remember the only reason we're so critical is because we love it so much. And to see it not reach it's maximum potential is disappointing. Like if our son was Mozart and he just played video games all day his whole life instead of playing the violin. We're not angry, just disappointed.[/QUOTE] hey now, lets not kill Mozart Jr.'s ambitions to be the greatest ESports player so quickly. After all, his inherited dexterity gives him an advantage. although he's pretty bad at it. (i hope the analogy still goes through)

ARE. COMING.'

IIRC their pathfinding draws a spiderweb around the settlement and it refreshes every time you zone in, but sometimes it fails to refresh correctly and they can end up stuck either where they last were, or at the origin point of that settlement. If they're in other parts of the area, the only node they can see is that one, so they all gravitate towards it. Basically they think they're stranded until the pathing tells them they aren't and shows them where they can go again.

They all point at you and scream like unearthly creatures have taken over their bodies.

[QUOTE=purvisdavid1;49354161]They all point at you and scream like unearthly creatures have taken over their bodies.[/QUOTE] You've fast travel'd back to your largest settlement, and your own personal base of operations, after a good few days of looting, but something's not quite right. You've arrived in the incorrect place, you should have spawned inside your house, the same place you always do, as you've put a fast travel mat there. A much more disturbing fact comes after the initial confusion, your settlers are just... staring blankly, swarmed in front of you like moths to a light. You try to speak to them, but they do not respond. Then, one by one, each pair of eyes flickers that deathly yellow glow. Blast! Where's that webm of a bunch of synths activating when I need it. :/

I don't know if this would get taken down from the Nexus but until I have a chance to upload here is the fart of death for the minigun: [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16349584/fallout%204/GAU%208%20Minigun%20Sound%20Replacement.rar[/url] Here is also an update on my character, shame I can't wear the arm and shoulder pads together. I wish there was a mod to toggle depth of field. [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16349584/fallout%204/377160_2015-12-19_00002.png[/t]

This thing looks ridiculous. [t]http://i.imgur.com/02NPMOb.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/urERTQT.jpg[/t]

I don't think it looks that bad to be honest.

[QUOTE=ThatSwordGuy;49354541]that gun name sounds like a craigslist ad :v:[/QUOTE] It took saying the name out loud like twice for me to get it Wow I am thick

[QUOTE=Tuskin;49350365]They should do some Pre-war DLC, though it might feel like a re-hash of Anchorage, but this time do it Via the memory den so it is a memory instead of a simulation.[/QUOTE] Super late reply, but what if there was pre-war DLC involving not your memories, but those of a ghoul? Then you could get around the gender thing with the husband being in the army and the wife being a lawyer.

[t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/95081498/Useless/would_you_kindly_settlement.jpg[/t] I'm not even sorry for making this. :smug:

I actually feel somewhat like Fallout 4 would have been great if they'd made it more 'set character'-based and had it be another spinoff. And hey, why not name it after one of the most important factions in the game? Fallout: Institute. It works pretty well.

[QUOTE=nomad1;49354357]I meant like the DOF that is triggered when you talk to NPC's. Sorry for not being specific.[/QUOTE] That's a bug that's only supposed to be when you're wearing power armor I think. [editline]20th December 2015[/editline] It usually fixes itself for me after I hang around in my pa for a while.

Im actually so stoked to start making mods for Fallout 4, I really want to add custom levels though so I can make a total conversion mod.

Like in this photo [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16349584/fallout%204/377160_2015-12-08_00011.png[/t] Toggle between regular gameplay dof and cinematic dof... fuck it's 3am I shoukld of worded my words better... goodnight and i hope one of you at least likes that sound mod.

Is it just me or does anyone think the Bokeh Filter in Fallout 4 is shite? I like Bokeh DoF but it looks meh in this.

I wonder if there will eventually be a mod that lets you equip Power Armor Pieces on yourself. Would be kind of neat.

[QUOTE=rysunles;49355034]I wonder if there will eventually be a mod that lets you equip Power Armor Pieces on yourself. Would be kind of neat.[/QUOTE] What, like the salvaged power armour from NV? The one NCR dudes wear that has no actual power to it?
