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

How they're acting is just fucking silly.

I can never understand why modders don't work together and share content in the first place. They'd get so much more done if they wearn't so self centered.

Where there is people doing things on the internet, there will be drama. And attention whoring. Such is life.

The dude is literally fighting over shapes in a specular map.

Y'know for how well bethesda did the whole "clothing looks the same regardless of whether you're male or female" they fucked it up in one place that really matters. Men's road leathers look leagues better than the women's. That said there also aren't enough costumes with one sleeve ripped off inexplicably every time you come across it.

You know, I still think it was a missed opportunity to not have some way to turn Strong human again, either by denying Virgil the serum, making more, or finding some other method. He's very boring compared to other supermutant companions, but being able to cure him would be an interesting advancement in his character. Show him what exactly it is that he's been looking for all along, whether he knew it or not; humanity. [editline]t[/editline] He'd still speak like a supermutant and retain his high STR, but he'd be compatible with more weapons, proper armor, and would dislike fewer actions.

Plus I just prefer the snarky personality Virgil has compared to Strongs generic dumb super mutant shtick.

The conversation you can trigger between Virgil and Strong is at least decent justification for the latter's existence IMO. If they expanded upon that, had Strong slowly realize what makes humans powerful is their humanity, until he asked to be cured, now THAT would be interesting. A genuine character arc. [editline]t[/editline] Maybe he'd get a personal quest where he learns about "the great warrior Grog-nak" and asks you to take him to them (which can have several solutions depending on other quests you've done), assuming they MUST be a supermutant who's found what he himself is looking for. But upon learning they were human as well, he starts having serious doubts about what he can achieve as a supermutant, if all these humans are better than him. This eventually leads him to ask you to find a cure, relenting that maybe the only way to become as powerful as a human is to become one.

[QUOTE=Ager O'Eggers;49446332]Eh, I just always assumed that the reason why the Wasteland is still a shithole, is because 1) Humanity has been decimated 2) A lot of knowledge, expertise and means of production has been lost to time 3) People are too busy not dying to mutated wildlife and radiation[/QUOTE] in the 200 years after being settled by europeans the united states had pretty significantly developed in many areas that are now large population centers. it's unreasonable to think that in 200 years we'd at very least not keep up any of the houses that are still around (none of the houses in this game were even touched by the bombs, all that disrepair is down to neglect, not explosions. they'd be totally wiped out by a nuclear bomb.

[QUOTE=butre;49450105]it certainly shouldn't be modern america in the fallout universe but there should definitely be some well built and properly maintained settlements by now.[/QUOTE] But there is. NCR has plenty, with regions of wasteland inbetween, and are building more as they expand eastwards. The East Coast doesn't have as many as a result of being hit so hard, but we have Diamond City (and the Commonwealth as a whole is decently settled, and came close to becoming more organized before the Institute goofed it all up), and other regions that have been mentioned like Ronto. edit: the debris thing is true but that's the point where I'd say it's just a video game It's artistic license, just reminds you that life isn't easy

I found one of my problems with the Commonwealth, so few towns. Off the top of my head, I can only think of Diamond City and Goodneighbor. And they're pretty small, anything you need to get to like a shop is right there. Yeah there are the player settlements but you actually have to do those yourself. Fallout 3 really only had Megaton and Rivet City. Is Bethesda lazy with towns in Fallout or am I crazy? Skyrim had lots of towns and they actually felt like towns, if I had to go to a shop you actually had to get up and go.

I'd rather have a few fleshed-out sensible settlements than fallout 3's gimmick-based settlements.

[editline]4th January 2016[/editline] new vegas did the best job of the 3 newer games at having varied and believable settlements. only problem is they were underpopulated. that's more of a technical restriction than a design choice though.

aw shit man, i was [sp]going to side with the institute and it was going fairly wel[/sp] but now outta nowhere they want me to [sp]destroy the brotherhood of steel AND the railroad!?[/sp] like what the fuck, does it get better after that or things just go down the rabbit hole?

[QUOTE=LolzMan1325;49415034]from what I've seen on the nexus some people actually are managing to get custom models into the game like [URL="http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/7227/?"]this[/URL] or [URL="http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/7096/?"]this[/URL] [sp]so does this mean we can have the ranger armor in-game yet or[/sp][/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Omolong;49415077]That second link isn't really a custom model like you mean. It's just a number of existing ingame models put together, with the unnecessary parts of the model hidden using alpha. I'm pretty sure most of the actual custom models we've got so far are relatively simple, or come from Skyrim.[/QUOTE] I guess you guys don't visit the nexus much, posted some ingame shots of it over there and on twitter. Still got some cleanup to do on it, and than we've got to wait on the geck for the plugin (not just a standalone craft able armor). apparently I suck, and don't know how to get tweets to show up in the thread, so heres a link to it.

(IMHO this applies to Bethesda too to a degree, even if they have a lot more collective experience it's still buggy as hell.) There were still cases where people would literally have skeletons at their dinner tables, though, almost like the game's interiors were made in full-on dilapidated style and only populated with humans later.

I wish Diamond City and Goodneighbor were further apart. Having the two main towns right next to each other is a bit weird.

[QUOTE=Bread_Baron;49450641]I wish Diamond City and Goodneighbor were further apart. Having the two main towns right next to each other is a bit weird.[/QUOTE] I think we need 2 towns in north Commonwealth, The Slog would've been good and something vaguely around Starlight.
