Fallout Thread V30: The universe where everyone is left handed - Games

I'm thinking of reworking the armor stats and I'm splitting them up into 3 groups, Heavy, Medium and Light. Right now my current philosophy is what your choice in armor is based around how heavily you use VATS. Heavy has highest DR but lowest in-combat run speed and you take full damage in VATS. Intended for people that want to play a straight shooter. Light has lowest DR but highest in-combat run speed and you take 10% damage in VATS. Intended for those who are going to be using VATS more often. Medium is obviously in the middle for all of those, for people that use a mix of VATS and real-time combat. Any suggestions or ideas?

The General Atomics Galleria is fucking hilarious. Also I never realised until now that if you press 3 to skip dialogue the PC is really snarky and sarcastic, its great. Talking to Vadim, skip his dialogue: "Nice accent, Boris" I love this

Any suggestions or ideas?[/QUOTE] I'm going to be honest, that sounds terrible. With that system light armour makes you virtually invincible provided you hit Q before anything bad happens and it railroads players into certain playstyles to a ridiculous degree. Also what's to stop a player running around in all heavy armour and light gloves for the VATS damage reduction? In combat run speed isn't exactly that important, and having your movement speed change when combat starts would feel incredibly shitty to play. You should make it so that heavy armour has a penalty to AP but has higher DR, while light armour have very low DR but gives more AP, where medium armour doesn't get the benefits or restrictions of either.

The VATS damage reduction is intended more to be a sliding scale thing, where each slot adds a small percentage instead of just a straight 25%. And in vanilla players only take 10% damage in VATS no matter what armor they're wearing so if anything this'll make things a little harder. But yeah doing a DR vs AP sliding scale would probably be simpler.

Perhaps it's because I can't think of a better solution myself but, why fix what ain't broke? There's plenty of things you could work on that would feel more impactful. Vodka has the right idea, if such things mattered (now they don't) an armor change would feel more natural than just slapping it into current Fallout.

so what's the most fun you can do in F4 is there anything that compares to the sheer silliness of things like old world blues?

[QUOTE=_Maverick_;52076793]so what's the most fun you can do in F4 is there anything that compares to the sheer silliness of things like old world blues?[/QUOTE] the uss constitution mission is pretty good

are there any good mods that add more armor/clothing that fits the aesthetic to the game, i havent played since launch (not even since creation kit launched) and the only ones i can find are stereotypical "wasteland slut wanting to get cornholed" armors

There's not a huge amount of variety in the base outfits too, they mostly just end up as different tops on sets of pants. As for other mods/mod authors, here's a few: * [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/20088/?]The Mercenary[/url] - a lot of the outfits in this might be too well-made for some people, but there are other outfits (like the Rebel ones) that don't look too out of place. * [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/22431/?]Eli's Armour Compendium[/url]. - despite how people feel about Elianora, this mod has a number of new outfits that are mostly made out of pieces of vanilla outfits, so they fit the game pretty well too. * [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/users/4094222/?tb=mods&pUp=1]Crimsonrider[/url] - they made the Clothing of the Commonwealth mod and they have a number of other outfit mods, though they are generally more specific, so they might work better as unique outfits. They've also got a large accessory pack to go over outfits (despite it having a Tomb Raider name). * [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/users/575069/?tb=mods&pUp=1]DogtoothCG[/url]/[url=http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/users/4108480/?tb=mods&pUp=1]unoctium[/url] - these two have worked on a few recreations of outfits from previous games (though mostly on unoctium's account) * [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/users/5577540/?tb=mods&pUp=1]Tacoduck[/url] - they have uploaded a lot of outfit combinations and recreations of outfits, though they're all from vanilla assets instead of being custom made. They also don't support any custom bodies, if that's a big deal for people. * [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/users/22747194/?tb=mods&pUp=1]Femshepping[/url] - they've also done a number of outfit combination packs, but they're mostly for females and might be a bit too modern/revealing in some cases. * [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/users/17527/?tb=mods&pUp=1]Niero[/url] - most of their mods are really revealing and not really fitting Fallout at all, but some of their earlier mods have outfits/accessories that work pretty well. * [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/users/136886/?tb=mods&pUp=1]friffy[/url] - they've done a few companion outfits, but again, they might be too modern at times. A number of these probably won't work for some people, but these are mods with vanilla/wasteland themed outfits that I've seen uploaded/mod authors I've seen upload a number of them. Hopefully it helps people. There's probably more too, but these are the ones that I know of.

Does anyone else use the [url=http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/20653]10-22 pistol?[/url]. For some reason I'm having a problem with the way it's aiming

I've reached a point where I now use modding as a cathartic relaxer instead of gameplay improvement, I just add mods that sound nice and read and see how it all comes together than actually play the game with most of the mods.

[QUOTE=Vodkavia;52076486]I'm still a big believer in DT tbh. I feel like if you removed scaling (as well as those incremental damage perks and the like ofc) and inplemented DT you'd get a much more realistic experience. I hate how "end game" armor and weapons just magically don't exist until you get to a certain level and on the same hand low level shit like pipe guns are just everywhere regardless of the context. I want to charge into a crowd of ghouls certain their uncoordinated attacks with their atrophied fists aren't going to magically phase through my power armor. At the same time I want the game world to make sense in terms of difficulty and not constantly undermine any sense of progression by giving every bandit 2 light years of health and the most top of the line weapons. If the player wants a challenge they should get it by going to dangerous places. If the player wants an end game item they should get it by Killing a difficult enemy, getting to the end of a difficult dungeon or completing the right quests. Not "just wait for it to get cheap or run into a raider who can afford it somehow."[/QUOTE] I meant to rate your post agree but my iPhone is dumb. That said I'd 100% support DT since even power armor feels weak on normal. A group of raiders can still bring my health down from 100% to 50% in just seconds like nothing is there even if I'm in a full set, and said set barely lasts 30 seconds before the pieces brake.

I only take power armor to add to my always growing collection in my main settlement. It feels so pointless when I'm getting hit by everything regardless of being in a fucking body-covering tank. I prefer the regular HUD and Pip-Boy menus over the Power Armor ones anyway.

Would make more sense in well-fortified settlements like Diamond City, though.

oh I wear all heavy leather and raider armor, just because you have a clothing mod installed doesn't mean you have to wear it. I have a shitload of clothing mods because the more variety in NPCs the better. nothing will break my immersion quicker than a bunch of clones
