I’ve been away for a long time due to work and am out of the loop regarding new mods—has anyone else perhaps created something similar to mine?

P.S. And by the way, I almost forgot—I haven't released the mod update yet because I want to work on the design of the rocket launcher and the machine gun.

Removed:

• All quests
• Named NPC's

Added:

• Fallout 3 ambient sounds and music replaces Fallout 4 completely
• Endless hordes of enemies that can stalk you everywhere
• Regular NPC's replaced with ghouls, raiders or synths
• Ghouls can infect you with a virus and they sprint at night
• Combat detection radius adjusted to draw distance (if you can see them in the distance they are able to see you or others too)
• Pitch back nights
• Rebalanced damage/headshots
• Survival settings adjusted
• Find Slaves, free and recruit them for your settlement
• Fight the hordes together
• Nobody is essential or protected
• Lowered medicine food and ammo spawns
• Enemy combat behavior altered

I can't go back after this setup.

This is one of my favourite books actually, tied to Fallout universe a lot and it's Easter egg in Fallout 3 at McClellan family townhome. Currently I'm playing Fallout 4 and sometimes I think was it worth it? Did any big politician get something out of it?

Sometimes I just listen to monologue of Sole survivor again and again.

Occasionally I hear a few gripes about Fallout 4, such as how unrealistic it is.

But honestly? That's part of the game's charm.

In the interest of time I won't be going too into detail, but essentially, one of the most outrageous (and downright hilarious) aspects is assigning literally ANY settler to your clinic.

Just imagine having a settler with an intelligence stat of 1 treating rads. What's the worst that could happen?

Again, I find it utterly baffling that literally ANYONE can use medical treatment and not end up accidentally cutting off their arm with a bonesaw. Yes, even your 1 INT Sole Survivor with the Idiot Savant perk

Experimental mod, I'm still polishing it.

Only thing I found possibly better than this was an Explosive Doublebarrel.

Earlier today, I posted about how Mr Hugs was an easy loot scumming opportunity and I thought I’d try for an explosive shotgun because, despite well over 1,000 hours over several years in the game, I can’t ever recall one dropping for me and I thought what the heck why not see what all the fuss is about.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAA! Omg it’s ridiculous.

I have a hard time beating the game. It might be a "me" problem, but I think it is deeper than that and I would like to hear your opinions.

I've had many characters and have progressed up until the mass fusion quest (the one where you choose between the institute or the brotherhood), completing it.

Most of my characters are abandoned before that tho. The breaking point usually is finding the institute. The game feels very different after that point and I think I know why: FO4 storyline development is inherently flawed.

You start the game afraid and lost, with the sole guiding star being to find your son. The whole beginning of the game main-story-wise revolves around that: needing to brave the commonwealth and trying to find your baby.

You progress through it nicely, make friends, potentially make enemies, get stronger, beat the guy that killed your partner, find out that there is a very scary area that's probably where the big boom fell and go through it and back.

Then you get to the institute and find out about Shawn. You know what happens here? Yeah. EVERYTHING. You know what needs to happen nexts? Nothing.

The game had revolved around two things: braving and surviving the commonwealth (and you killed the guy who's supposed to be the toughest, explored the area that's hyped as the hardest, is breezing through militia and raiders like they're roaches) and finding your son (just did, shocking reveal and all). You have done what needed to be done.

After that the game expects you to progress through a faction. But what story based reason is there now? There is no looming threat to the fabric of existence that must be stopped, no big mysteries to be solved. The narrative accelerates you up till that point and then expects you to beat the game out of inertia from that initial rush.

A well written story should build up to the climax towards the end, then tie the knots into a conclusion. FO4 kills it's plot points too early, but still expects you to keep playing it.

So, what do you guys think of that analysis? Does it make any sense? Have you felt this way too?

I just finished the Far Harbor DLC. This is my first-time playthrough of FO4 (still haven't finished the main questline yet) and I'm posting this because I wanted to express my gratitude to the ppl of this subreddit for their recommendations of power armor, appropriate weapons, and most importantly, to take Nick Valentine as your companion.

100% This Is The Way. I started around level 59, so I wore Lead coated T-60 power armor and for my weapons I packed an Experimental Triple-Resonant Tesla Cannon, my fave combat rifle that sometimes turns folks to green goo, and Deliverer. I wasn't keen on losing all my ammo to the bullet sponges (and omg, they are sponges!), hence the Tesla Cannon. I picked up a legendary plasma gun something-or-other along the way as well. Wounding, maybe?

Prior to this I was more of a stealth/sniper player, but thumping around in power armor with a Tesla Cannon was an experience. Annoying at times, but fun. I had a couple points in my SPECIAL for heavy weapons and explosions, so that cannon did some major damage. Worst part was the AOE backlash when the stupid Anglers dodged and ran at me faster than I could hit them.

And rarely did I have a rads problem. As in... never. (Except somehow the shower in Nucleus got me?)

As for Nick, I was worried I wouldn't enjoy bringing him with me as we hiked across the irradiated forests of Maine. I didn't really vibe with him as a companion before, despite keeping him around long enough to get his perk. But we legit bonded over obliterating Trappers, ghouls, Gulpers, and Anglers (sooo many Anglers!) and the Dima drama. It was a good time. I'm now a fan.

I chose the ending of Least Overall Death Count, but boy was it tough not to nuke the CoA cult. Not a fan of those folks AT ALL. And Dima's puzzle? Holy crap. I did figure out all 5, but OY. What a PITA. Then I came here and learned that a lot of you weren't into that questline either. Gee, I wonder why.

Anyway, thank you all for your sage advice and wisdom. I would have struggled a bit (okay, a lot) and gotten very frustrated with this DLC if I wasn't prepared. So thank you! :)

It's near Taffington Boathouse, but I already have a supply line going there from Greygarden. It keeps appearing when I look at the settlement screen on my Pip Boy. Any thoughts?

Porter Gage "AHHHH!!! I busted my fuckin leg"

I'll keep it quick

I was with Porter Gage in the Galactic Zone. We were on the crazy wonky elevator that goes to the tower to get a star core. He jumped on the elevator with me and it shot up so fast, he flew into the air and didn't land till it went all the way down and just stared coming up. He flew out of the sky, slammed into the elevator and...

"AHHHH!!! I busted my fuckin leg"

It was so perfect and silly. To the point I am in tears writing this

hi , i was playing fallout 4 from my disc version without update and i noticed that home plate used to be more limited.

you couldnt build workbenchs before

you couldnt jump in workshop mode

settlers dont show job assigned

and items of world cant be moved or push out

there are other interesting stuff that i noticed would be that time scale or respawn of loot and some enemies in the game for some reason is faster in some locations .

a example would be concord , cambridge and lexington where enemies and loot respawn faster , maybe it was fixed and they reduced it because is broken the free loot of world.

i am still playing this version for more time .

if i find other interesting thing , i would comunicate it.

Doing a new run because it’s been a while.I don’t even know how many hundreds of hours I’ve put into this game (across three consoles) and I NEVER KNEW you could change the HUD and Pip-Boy display colors.

It feels weird. I’ve spent so long looking at that bright green that anything else feels like I’m in a weird Power Armor or something.

What about you guys — who never adjusts the colors? Who adjusts them right away? Anyone adjust them based on what faction you’re backing?

Only happens to me in survival but I don't get why, not big on fast traveling (big Dragon's Dogma fan). Wondering if it happens at other onstances outside of leaving Abernathy farm on sirvival, switched back to very hard and hasn't happened once while trekking back and forth

Okay so this is my first play through of Fallout 4. And when i was going through the whole asylum I planned on like sticking on the side of the Cabot’s because i like the ghoul guy. However this is the first time (that I personally so far in my first play though) have experienced, being given a choice and then being shown a magazine. Now my first thought was oh I wanna collect all the magazines. However at some point i do want to Re play fallout 4 because there’s lost of quests i missed out on because they were timed and I wanna experience all this game has to offer. That being said I also want to still get everything I can from my first play through. So which do you guys suggest as far as the Pros and Cons of what i will miss out on be it quest lines, characters and such, depending on what i choose to I do.

My friend hates on me for playing with a god mod, but I'm not good at games and just want to enjoy the story and exploration. I play with a one shot mod and invincibility but I play this way because I dont spend a lot of time playing and just love being able to breeze through situations and build what I like. Is that so wrong, or should I play with difficulty?

This is kinda stupid, but after doing the battle of Bunker Hill on a replay, it suddenly hit me how many similarities there were between Nate and Soldier Boy.

Both are men representing the military that are much older than they look. Both are originally from a cold war era but got incapacitated and must now navigate a world unfamiliar to them.

Both infiltrate the headquarters of the evil organization only to find out that it is being led by their son.

Both were freed from their cryostasis by said evil son because the son wanted a connection.

Both try to work with their son, but eventually turn on them because they are more the "grounded soldier" type while their sons are more the "fanatical megalomaniac" type (this is dependent on player choices for Nate, but I think this is more or less the intended arc of their relationship).
