very neat, I love women

CUTE!

So I'm having fun doing public events, I kinda want to switch one of my builds to be more of a support/heal type of thing, but I'm a ghoul, so how much will the -10 charisma etc hurt me?

Those are just vaults, silly

Cool

>>543010456
well that makes sense, grilled radstag is meat

>>543011897
Technically, Grilled Radstag isn't meat: it's a mesh and texture to give the illusion that it's meat.

>>543012659
I'll give you the illusion of meat in your meshes and textures a minute

Newish to modding how do I fix the cliffs here?

>game crashes, and erases a full hour of progress, just when I get back home
survival is the only way to go but it can be miserable sometimes...

I found the one thing about Far Harbor that annoys me just a little bit.
If you confront DiMA and get him to turn himself in to the people of Far Harbor, you can't tell Avery about her synthhood afterwards. At least, not the way my game has gone right now.
it's a little disappointing, but I suppose every ocean has a drop of piss in it.

>>543020487

Graham slayer...

Dak's Anti-Power Armor rifle is a sight to behold.

>>543029683
I hope they revisit their earlier mods as the difference in quality between the current and older Dak's mods is enormous

Haven't played 76 in 2 years. What did I miss?

>>543029683
because T-60 armour is prohibitively expensive to forge I've decided to use the Anti-PA rifle and the Brotherhood presence in the Commonwealth to strengthen the Minutemen

By sneak killing knights and taking the remaining missing parts I need to complete my T-60 sets.

Cool station. Mostly for the ambience or if you also have an autistic interest in numbers stations. Perfect for spooky month or a Dust playthrough I'd say. It has clips of real stations, I've heard Lincolnshire Poacher and Swedish Rhapsody so far.

everytime you post shops of the FNC chad i get sad because the mod turned out to be disappoiting

>>543001285
droods

>>543052208
May be troons, but Webb and Sweet6Shooter make bretty good mods.

>>543053010
never heard of Webb but I've seen s6s spam his mods a lot

>>543053102
Spam where? here?

>>543053224
On the nexus. When he updates his mods it takes the entire page

>>543053102
He made the non-ctd causing Classic Fallout Weapons pack. Hoping for a Tactics pack eventually.

>>543052527
Same, also I get sad because his voice actor died like 3 years ago.

>>543052208
I only know three of those five modders and they make decent stuff so that's something

which ones?

>>543056154
>Sweet6Shooter
Makes niche, bite-sized mods for FNV and TTW.
>WebbProductions
Makes classic-inspired mods for NV. Outfit designer for Revelation Blues and The Odyssey mod projects.
>Pig
Fallout 4 modder. Best known for the CSEP quest mods and his collaborations with DegenerateDak.

>>543052208
>pig

I don't think a guy who can't take even a slight ounce of criticism is going to provide any sort of meaningful insight.

>>543057645
>>543058057
lol, that pig guy is super autist-modo

>>543058057
Webb crying in the comments about some guy's really tame criticism of his Tactics Plasma Rifle mod makes me think these modders have pretty thin skin kek.

Hey guys I haven't played fallout 4 in a long time and just got the itch to play through it, looking for some mod suggestions.

Primarily I want some kind of armor/outfit replacer for all vanilla equipment with CBBE sliders, do you have any suggestions on the best one to get? I've been searching nexus but I only see really old stuff from 2016.

>>543069594
No

>>543069594
Grafpanzer made some skimpy ones

I just realized something: you could theorically make gnocchi out of tatos, and possibly grounded razor grane.
Its probably going to taste a lot less like shit.

>>543069286
I found it for cheap, only around 100 bucks

L O N G

Now this is what i'm talking about lads

>>543072605
Is there anywhere I can find all the Fallout Magic The Gathering art without watermarks?

>>543072725
oh it's a hdd. Do you not play games on it and only store packed mods or archives on it?

>>543072605
>gnocchi
why do i see this right as i'm about to eat some

>>543074395
I found this, you click on a card a then the little paintbrush icon on the right to display the art. It is pretty low res, but you could probably reverse search for bigger versions of the ones you want
https://tagger.scryfall.com/tags/artwork/fallout-universe

>>543049485
is there a good vanilla texture pack that isnt blurry AI dogshit or NMC/ojo bueno style 'no fucks given' replacement
im going through SALVO and downloading all these little textures is driving me insane, i dont even want all of them

>>543078980
Thanks anon. I really appreciate it.

>>543079278
I use stuff from this guy, but it's not a pack and you have to download individual clothes categories/signs

No problem. They would make cool loading screens too

also one of his other mods is just a picture of one of those retarded sharty jaks so hard pass

Does the Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch still work for a downgraded version from the Steam NG to the 1.10.163?

>>543096812
Yes

I don't know why it took me so long but I finally watched the season 2 teaser

A familiar situation. I'm also surprised that SS2 has comments from vanilla companions, it must have taken a lot of work.

>He's at this part
I don't know if you've played it before but in case you haven't: you're getting close to the point that broke me.

>>543107508
I played it a long time ago but that was when only the first chapter was available. I'm really curious what broke you

>>543107917
if you care about spoilers don't read on I guess
The developer wanted the player to play his action setpiece so bad that he went against one of the things that's fun about bethesda games: completing things just slightly out of order.

The computer thing you and Jake look for gets stolen by the gunners and you discover that it was taken to Gunner's Plaza. The NPCs will repeat at you that it's too fortified and you could never take it on your own. However if you decide to go over there before the siege quest to see for yourself you will discover that spawns around it haven't changed at all. It's not an impenetrable fortress.

Instead Kinggath set it up so that when you enter an exterior cell surrounding the building you get a pop-up saying "You stepped on a buried nuke-mine!" and a nuke explodes on where you stepped. If that didn't kill you, the dev glued a second nuke to your feet so wherever you ran to, you still explode.
If you managed to get past that and enter the building through the roof, you will find regular enemy spawns and no computer doohickey in the newsroom. If you leave through the roof you explode again (that's how I learned it just tracks if you're in a nearby exterior)
Bottom line: there is no challenge. There's nothing difficult about going in, he just really wants the player to go through his epic battle scene like it's a TTRPG campaign on rails. There's some other stuff after this that pissed me off too, but this was really what made me drop a level 50 character

>>543106904
personally I'm wondering what the hell happened to WAVE

Tacticool musket
Also are there any other good places to get acid near Sanctuary?

Trying to see if I can port the radiation weapons to 3/new vegas just purely to see if it's mechanically possible. Biggest problem is what enemies the weapon should damage. Like heal ghouls and do nothing against super mutants... done. But what about deathclaws? How about enemies that were created by fev in general like centaure or radscorpions, are they all immune to radiation or just super mutants?

And that's not getting into brahmin and other ghoulified/mutated animals.

>>543113071
only thing that comes to mind are the bloatflies around concord water tower toward abernathy, ones north of sanctuary in the trees, ones around the cabin north of abernathy and i think there's 4 or 5 in the trees south of abernathy, just beyond the road. check drumlin and carla too. if lexington isn't too far out of the way then the laundromat there should have some abraxos

>try to play fo4 again
>get bored after an hour
i dunno how you guys do it

>>543114260
I spent a couple of weeks making my mod list and I play on survival mode. My current save has over 20 hours but I've only just reached Diamond City. So survival mode and mods are the answer.

>>543113983
>laundromat
I didn't even know this place existed, it's just what I need.

>>543114260
horizon and only playing it like, once a year. usually get ~300 hours out of a playthrough

>>543115087
it's a good spot. should be some abraxos in the super duper mart as well if you haven't cleared it already now that i think about it

I really like the ambient music that plays in Diamond City. I wish it'd play in more places.
It has both forlorn and hopeful tones to it.
It makes me feel lonely, but like I'm not alone in that loneliness.

>>543122717
fo4's soundtrack is wonderful
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4nQPTQM4EE

>>543123292
I think the only gripe I have with it is that it can get kind of droning and repetitive when building settlements. Depending on the settlement there's one or two tracks that play. If they'd had more variety there I'd have less trouble.

there's probably a mod for that, though.

>>543123501
that's where the radio comes in

>>543123761

Is there a mod to put hats above power armor helmets? i really want raul to wear his sombrero above his helmet

>>543137395
Dunno. The intro alone had shit writing, so I knew the entire thing would have shit writing, and didn't bother with it.

Unlikely, but im just wary of any newer channels.

>>543139135
neat, this will pair well with the boxcutter. I tried dak's makeshift melee weapons pack but one of the meshes kept crashing my game when I tried to mod one of the weapons.

>>543147202
the way the voice ends words so sharply/suddenly makes me think it's an AI voice, but I'm a strong independent man who needs no woman, so I can't say for certain.

>>543109487
reading "synths" as a metaphor for trans people really re-contextualizes the entire game

>>543147202
unrelated to fallout but I've been noticing a huge amount of similarly named channels where they do the same title, content, etc but just slightly differently worded
for example, the other day I just wanted to watch a video on the M1 garand and there were a dozen channels like that, dead internet theory is becoming fact at this rate

>>543150397
yeah there's quite a few little unmarked locations in the game. there was one just down the road from hallucigen that i only found for the first time a couple playthroughs ago. one of the best things about these games

>>543152489
as far as titles go, the sloptubers I don't watch anymore talked about it and they claimed youtube just prefers similar titles to the same topics. I'm not sure why, something something engagement, but it's also why channels will upload something and then several hours later change the title, based on how much views they are getting (judging which title causes more engagement, something youtube I guess encourages).

And as for content, they're just following the leader aka who got the most views first. Makes for boring content if you're trying to get some new info on the same topic, but that's modern youtube for you.

finally built the power armour repair garage

I want to draw my fallout 4 player character with this image as pose reference, what would be a good backdrop?

>>543156191
top of the dam near sunshine tidings, sitting on a wrecked car mayhaps

>>543156751
oooh that's a good one. I'll have to go get a screenshot

>>543156191
how about somewhere at the south edge of cambridge with the pov facing the diamond city area?

Just bought 76, anything I should know? Been wanting to try it and it's on sale so...I'm gay btw

what a beaut

>>543160964
You probably wasted your money. I don't know if there are any hot or cute men in 76 but I'd like to know that too

>>543155715
you plan on outfitting your troops or do you just like collecting
>>543156191
lot of good spots near salem

Burning springs lets goooooo
I’ve wondered for a while when they were going to fill out that side of the map. Im glad they’re doing it in a desert-ish fashion. It will really improve the (already great) map.

>>543168473
>you plan on outfitting your troops or do you just like collecting
it's partially the collecting but I do plan on figuring out how many settlements I actually have and distributing armour accordingly.
It's why I'm building complete sets.
>lot of good spots near salem
I might have a look around there, too.

Enclave update will save this game and general as usual

>>543049485
So this is your mod?
https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/94245

>>543175767
Bethesda here. Here is a sneak peak for what's to come.

>>543175767
The Enclave will be woke, gay shit. Full of ugly mystery meat bitches and fags. And I say this as a mystery meat bitch fag.

>>543176468
>Bots on Parade
Its a Pride arade isn't it?

>>543178146
>mystery meat bitches
Latinas?

>>543178664
No. Mystery meat is mysterious. Latinos are a distinct race.

Funnily enough I only really liked the enclave after they got btfo'd by the NCR. Hearing the surviving members talk about the good and bad of the organization and showing off their high-tech enclave tech to the mojave is a really sick way for the faction to go out. Something real romantic and tragic about americans reminiscing about the past.

Hair mod like this?

>>543179812
Looks too anime for Fallout, the antithesis of anime. People have been killed for less.

>>543180398
It's just the ahoge that's anime. I'm not trying to cosplay her, I just want pigtails and bangs.

>>543179812
this might help you get somewhat close to the look you're going for. if not, it has equippable bangs you might be able to combine with another hair mod to complete the look.

>>543182165

>>543181472
having a hard time tracking down the modular bangs.... turns out putting instructions in pictures that eventually break wasn't a good idea

>>543183996
looking through the comments, someone said they're in Hubris Comics. otherwise, you could try searching them with the console
>help "animu" 4 armo
to see if anything comes up. if you want to add them to your inventory this way, note the string of numbers out beside the item name and type
>player.additem STRINGOFNUMBERSHERE
for each one you want to add. if you want to add multiples of a certain one, just add a space out beside the string of numbers and type the amount of them you want

>>543182165
76 and fo4 ng update killed the general

>>543184628
guess i'll play as the chinese guy. what are his stats.

>>543185621
They were at the very least the final nails in the coffin.

>>543185621
That's preposterous, you snivelling little rodent. The Next-Gen update had no influence on the activeness of /fog/. Fallout 76 is completely to blame, with its lackluster content updates.

so it's pretty well established at this point that supermutants are palestine and the brotherhood are israel, right?

firstly, I'm blind because despite reading the comments, I saw 'northwest of Goodneighbor' and 'West of Swan Pond' but not Hubris Comics and spent 15 minutes checking the buildings in the area. secondly, you're a legend for recommending this mod so fast and getting me very close to what I had in mind so thanks so much <3

for now, I'm still on the fence on which bangs to go with, but several candidates is better than one!

>>543188116
We all are.

>>543188214
This is why I preferred New Vegas' (and Fallout 1 and 2's) approach with the player after a McGuffin, rather than a person.

Is melee decent to use in 76?

>>543188495
that is honestly better, yes. Far Harbor also has you go after a person but as an impartial third party, which I think works just fine.

I will be nuking the child synth. He is a crass homunculus, and I don't need some weird fictional child calling the wastelander obsessed with solving a mystery his mum

>>543188621
That depends: does poop taste nice?

>>543188968
have your sister send me a vine and lemme know

>>543188495
nta but yeah, I hate the backstory + plot of being a concerned parent so the start me up + wastelander dialogue mods are pretty much permanently on my modlist
in NV, I'm still a courier but at least my backstory is left unclear

>>543188968
Yes. Piss too. Especially from mutants.

>>543191559
I did have SMU but I was not aware of that second one.

Preston I'm not going to bring a homunculus of a child that isn't even mine.

someone talk me out of a shotgun surgeon cowboy thats like 99% cowboy shotgun surgeon

>>543191559
>>543193015
was lonesome road that bad in that regard. it was just one job, i'm sure you did lots of jobs

>>543195636
I like how everyone freaks the fuck out if you try to leave synth shaun behind.

>>543196823
This entire playthrough I've been roleplaying as a nosey wastelander who stumbles onto a mystery and just can't let it go. The mystery is about a kidnapped child.
Upon finding that child to be a 60 year old man now and hearing that man's rationalisation for the monstrous acts of the organisation he leads, her opinion shifts.
The entire time she's heard stories about- and met people who have been replaced. She's seen the material harm the Institute does. She's seen the political harm its done. The child she was searching for was responsible for a LOT of it. He had the power to stop it, and he didn't.
So she shoots him, and she refuses to entertain the notion that this machine modelled to look like a 9-year-old can even be considered anything close to a satisfying end to the mystery she's been chasing. To her, justice was sub- and perverted. Thus reality must be corrected.

>>543197418
Ah, I'm entirely locked out of the brotherhood now, too.

Soon it will be time to siege Nuka-World...

>>543194205
does it actually change anything about the main quest? like does shaun still call you his parent or something?
If so, maybe the other one might still be better.

>>543198850
ah there's a patch for it.

>>543198008
>>543197418
sounds like railroad would be perfect for this character, assuming you aren't already
>>543198850
meant to say in conjunction, not instead
it readds stuff like dialogue skill checks, low int, DC and Vegas dialogue, and just gives you more options than vanilla overall

>>543193015
you caught me... I never played lonesome road (or any of the DLC)
>play the base game on xbox years and years ago, spend hundreds of hours on that alone

General of the minutemen, actually. She's stupidly idealistic and believes in securing the commonwealth and protecting those who cannot protect themselves. It's part of why the obsession happened.
Whole she's partially driven by emotion and obsession, she's also not naive and can see Synth Shaun for what he is: a tool for manipulation and deceit. Aside from the fact that he's not her kid, the obsession ends once the mystery has been solved. Why bother keeping him around?
my backstory for her is that she was a deathclaw hunter prior to joining the minutemen.

>>543200314
thank you

no problem fren

>>543200082
it's okay. they are all shit, with the exception of Dead Money, and that's an acquired taste.
But Lonesome Road completely destroys the notion of the courier being a blank slate.
It inserts a Chris Avellone self-insert background

Genuinely, genuinely, what reason would anyone side with the Institute in Fallout 4
>bioscience lab is destroyed
>their primary creation has been enslaved
>the rest of their tech aside from teleportation are memes
>no plan to resurface and take over or fix the earth in their own way
>synths may not even be fertile because of the use of FEV( I don't think this is confirmed either way)
>BOS is only there because of them
>Minutemen only collapsed because of their meddling in affairs making people paranoid and unreliable
>Railroad only exists to free the enslaved synths
they never even offer any proof that Father is your son Shaun, for all we know he died in the gene harvesting stage and the old man is just some impostor

>>543188968
Maybe

>>543204658
this is kind of a midwit's take
you are the defacto leader now, and can choose what to do with all that technology.
most of those problems you mention can be solved by your own decisions as the leader
also
>aside from teleportation
lol brushing off such an OP technology is crazy, when most of the survivors in the wasteland travel by foot

>>543204658
Why not? You can side with the Master in Fallout 1 and House in NV even though one is just cartoonishly evil and the other is stupid.

>>543215325
zased

>>543196823
At least you can tell the BoS chick what's going on and shes like WTF those evil fuckers

>>543206540
It's been shown that revolt can happen inside the Institute. Would the other members not be able to undermine you? Yes I understand sole survivor is a demigod, but if you had to flex your power so hard you take out half the Institute+ you'd end up ruling an empire of dust. Or am I being retarded here?

>>543216927
that's why having max charisma helps. Just convince the naysayers. Besides, living in the institute is still a far better life than in the Commonwealth even if you have to exile like half of them if you are 1 charisma nigga
The institute ending is so damn OP Bethesda couldnt possibly allow it to be canon, which is why they went with some BOS adjacent ending. A sole survivor from the pre-war who's military/engineering (Nora ain't sole survivor, sorry femnazis) that has access to cloning and teleportation would basically revitalize the entire East Coast

I’m delaying my completion of FNV as much as I can. Really milking out the side quests and remainder of locations. I usually don’t come back to games after I finish the boss. I will miss the mojave :’(

Any recs for which fallout should I play next?

>>543218967
have you rummaged through all the unmarked locations and done the unmarked quests like the one where you get the unique m1 garand

also which games have u played.

>>543219087
A few marked locations on outskirts of the map I still have yet to see, unmarked, maybe yes or no?
>unique m1 garand
Oo what location is this quest initiated? Also I have only played FNV.

>>543219435
there's some funky unmarked stuff like to get the unique grease gun if you never did that, and the deathclaw promontory, which has some unique loot. there's another unmarked location that gives up a unique energy weapon.
>unique m1 garand
go to camp mccarran, go into the main building, exit through right across from the entrance via the shutter doors, and ther eshould be a huge metal shack waaay back in the back of the open area with all the airplanes and shit. there a few different outcomes for that quest and iirc it can be buggy so i would make a save before. if you only care about the gun i think you can just do the shortest ending for it, but it's kind of a neat quest.
>only played NV
if you're fine with isometric, 1 and 2. If you really like the lore of NV and you're interested in more of that, then you'll want to play both of these since NV is basically the sequel to 2. Like there's a bunch of callbacks to the classic fallouts in NV that you might not have realized. Area locations, factions, items, various npcs, to why certain companions behave a certain way. It's really neat.
The ambient music in 1 and 2 is also peak thanks to it being inspired by aphex twin and other artists

If you're looking for more fps, then I would recommend 3. It's nowhere near as strong as NV in terms of the base game story or weapon variety, but the world itself is quite atmospheric and The Pitt and Point Lookout DLCs are some of my favorites. Broken Steel is also a must for 3. I can't recommend the other 2 DLCs for 3 personally, but ik some ppl like them and that's fine.

>>543220314
Thank you for this guide. Camp Mcarran, nice okay. I know exactly what area you’re referring to. I’ve probably scoured that place 10 times over. Dharti is a bitch and a cunt.
>If you really like the lore of NV and you're interested in more of that, then you'll want to play both of these
Played the game for the lore, stayed for the gameplay etc etc. I’ll definitely start from 1 then. It took me a while to realize Shady Sands isn’t actually in NV and I was missing a lot of previous game lore.
>inspired by aphex twin and other artists
KINOOOOOO! Just curious, what’s your personal favorite fallout (mods included)?

>>543221729
>what’s your personal favorite fallout (mods included)?
definitely NV even without mods (but it has some great mods, oh man), since it has the backing of 1 and 2 for a chunk of its history and aesthetic. I'm a sucker for sequels because I like to see the passage of time. what survives, what doesn't, shit like that. I also really like all of the DLCs for it.

>>543222718
holy atmosphere

I'm finding myself frustrated by Be Exceptional and its rebalancing patch.

By the time you reach level 50 I'm already max level for the skills and SPECIAL points I want. After this I'm basically just spending it on things I'm kind of okay with, but later I'm levelling skills I don't even use.
At some point I will run out of skills and perks to pick. I don't want to make my character a jack of all trades.

>>543224526
>I don't want to make my character a jack of all trades.
then don't

>>543225360
I guess I'll stop putting points into things

Just had a dream that FO3 got a remaster like Oblivion. Guess it's time to boot up TTW.

Damn that's a good find
>>543229287
We know that if FO3 remastered happens it will be after TES6

>>543230721
>after TES6
Don't kill any hope I have of a FO3 remaster ever happening.

>kinda want to play fallout 76 since I haven't really played it at all
>remember the lag

Well, that's the end of that then. I don't suppose they ever fixed that? Fucking bethesda servers held together with cum. Moving the camera felt off at best, "jumps" at worst.

>>543231631
>Remember the lag
>Remember all the missed FOMO shit
>Remember the limited number of atoms you can get
>Remember the absolutely disgusting community
I'm not really against Fallout MMO/live service game but Fallout 76 is just awful no matter how you look at it. It doesn't help that there's Fallout 4 which is very similar and also has modding so you don't have to wait a year to get a new gun in the game and so on

>>543231943
It does actually feel like a fallout game though so it's automatically a lot better than TESO, as far as a multiplayer live service offerings go. I'll be honest, if there was an equivalent for TES, I'd happily play it even if it was as shitty as 76.

>>543232736
The difference is that Fallout has a solid foundation, even with all the changes Bethesda makes. TES, on the other hand never had a solid foundation. The only time TES had solid aesthetics and feel was Morrowind, and TESO showed it reasonably well.

Fallout 76 is like diarrhoea on shit.

>>543232736
>It does actually feel like a fallout game though

>>543233548
Maybe he's talking about how the game plays. Because Skyrim and ESO play very differently. Though, that's because ESO's engine was built with a large number of players at any given time in mind.

Might hop back into FO4. What are some good quest mods for it? I've only ever really done SS2 and my favorite FO4 quest mod Enclave Rising 2. Think I did a few small ones by some team but they were all really short. Is Fourville decent? I think I got that installed but never played it.

Also, have the FO76 port mods updated with any new outfits? Last I played was earlier this year.

>>543233548
That bitch has a crazy long philtrum.

In a couple of days my army will arrive and we will put Nuka World to the sword
or, I guess, to the Anti-PA rifle.

>>543233801
>What are some good quest mods for it?
Vault 117 and other RascalArt stuff
Attack of the Lobotomites
Transmission Zeta and other kinggath stuff
There should be a Halloween modjam with at least one new quest/dungeon mod
>Also, have the FO76 port mods updated with any new outfits?
A few threads ago anon ported several outfits from the upcoming update. The ones in OP will never be updated.
Also some time ago there was a recreation of the pepper shaker from FO76 on nexus but with way more ammo types and attachments

>>543234649

>>543234649

Damn, what a shame.

yo it's the skyrim bear model

>>543231631
I recently upgraded my PC and can run everything but 76 smoothly. The lag is server side and or just bad game design. They moved an entire event away from the White Spring because it is somehow the lag capital of the map even when nothing is going on there. Todd sucks and fucks transvestites btw, and I hope the AIDS takes him before he can do further damage to the series.

>>543233834
Biggot.

do you guys remember the America fag? Has he come back at all? I remember he got doxed

Fallout 4 gets a lot of hate for its RPG system but honestly it's the only game in the series that made me care about Special. Basically Special are now responsible for the things that Skills used to be responsible for making them much more important.

>>543231631
>>543231943
>>543243160
The game is unoptimized and the net code is ass. I remember looting something and there's be noticeable latency with the server registering that I looted an item.
There's also a noticeable delay when shooting shit too

Honestly the game is just complete dogshit and I don't understand how people tolerate its pitiful content/endgame, the terrible latency, and the monetization

>>543247000
It's funny that they added throwing weapons to FO76 and it has even more delayed. The whole thing is just comical.

what's the point of the FO4 season pass?

it is fun to have a build where you can just charge in and take a missile to the face.

currently installing the VNV list manually.
been playing TTW with VLK's modlist last year, completing the entirety of the fallout 3 section, planned on starting a FNV with the same character but since that mod list used up all the ESM-slots i wouldn't be able to add any more quest mods which i consider essential for a mojave playthrough.
now i want to install VNV and see how well it works out, maybe i'll add some more texture mods to at least make the world a bit more pretty/different

>>543263574
I agree with everything but Fo3. Gaming has been getting gayer and gayer and faggots here pretend that NV is the biggest and only offender.

Why does the game keep telling me that mutated events are active but when I look at the map its a normal event?

>add mods to 4
>make sure the load order looks fine
>exit
>play NV
in some ways, modding 4 has made me less enthusiastic in actually playing it. I don't have the same issue with NV. Not sure why.

>>543268128
Nv is not an offender at all. It has openly gay characters and that's it. They mention it one time if you ask them. Nothing is forced on you. They actually have personalities besides "i'm gay".

>>543268991
pretty sure anon doesn't want gays in his games at all

>>543268420
Fallout 4 beginning is just awful. In New Vegas you're just thrown in right away and free to do whatever you want. Most of the time I just go straight to Vegas and skip the early game.

>>543269431
Sounds like he's insecure about his own sexuality

>>543268420
Modding cyberpunk 2077 in comparison didn't take much, I added cosmetics, some tweaks here and there, and then just no longer felt the need to do more. Fallout 4 on the other hand is exhausting because I keep finding some problem that I need to mod and then stability becomes a bigger and bigger concern over time, especially when finding these problems mid-playthrough and gambling on whether to do it now or on a completely new character...

Why would you want a remaster? Look at Oblivion. Its got a new coat of paint but nothing else going for it. It's modding community is dead to the point Bethesda isn't even trying to add creation club to it.

i dont know why "being an artform" is so god damn important to you

you need to sit the fuck down and write a good well thought out non-ai answer on why being an artform is... something to even think about. even now most art is used for money laundering. do you really think that ductape banana should be next to the mona lisa? do you really think those 4 or 5 blank TVs in a row should be next to... like... some other art thing? oh wait a minute is that one period blood smear next to the marble statue of an old fairy tail guy? ohohohoh what about that one statue of some dude sitting on his shoulders sucking his own dick next to that one guy who glued puzzle pieces together to kinda form a face with the european name?

no, some faggot bought it with dirty money to a friend who split the profits because that purchase conviced some old rich fuck to think its worth that much and now they have real clean money

>>543279292
if your not ganna make an argument just dont post

>>543280449
complaining about optional minigames is not an argument either. you're just a retarded and unhappy person

>>543280449
people tend to take things more seriously if it's a form of art. That's why people wanted games to be considered art. Gaming was, and often still is, considered to be something silly for children to waste their time on.

I'm not gonna waste my time talking about modern art because it's largely irrelevant on top of the fact that talking about it validates it, and validating it clearly makes you angry. Games, when treated as art, is more often approached through the lens of writing and visuals. RDR2 has a good story. It was well written. It's visually stunning. The world is easy to immerse yourself in, and if you're getting caught up on the slower nature of its gameplay you might just have to consider that you're not its target audience.
But here's something that'll blow your mind: thing not automatically bad if thing not made for you.

Somehow the musket is the strongest weapon in my arsenal.

>>543281316
>>but i do want video games to be modern art tho
you made up an entirely new sentence to get mad at, because I never said I wanted it to be modern art.
Unless you consider Beowulf to be modern art because it's in a written format, too.

>>543281316
ironic, every single one of your posts is irrelevant and means nothing

>>543281437
does modern mean something different that im not understanding? or did you make a conscious decision to stop being a better person?

>>543281542
comments are getting weaker and weaker as you go on, all i have to do is wait you out
shush now so you dont have to hush later.

>>543281773
all you did was criticize a recognized masterpiece of a game on its optional minigames, and then proceed to dance around the other guy's rebuttals with vague platitudes. you're not clever, you're just brown

>>543281773
>does modern mean something different that im not understanding?
modern art, the way that you were describing it earlier, is abstract non-communicative material meant for the purpose of money laundering.

Let me just specify it for you here so you don't get confused again:
I think that when games are considered art people are talking about it in terms of writing, visuals, and audio.
They're *not* equating games like RDR2 to the banana taped to a wall or a period blood smear, they're equating them to written works, visual masterpieces such as the aforementioned Mona Lisa, and highly regarded music.
>or did you make a conscious decision to stop being a better person?
this is entirely irrelevant and doesn't even come close to describing anything I did or said in my post. If you do this kind of thing again I'll have to assume you're a schizophrenic and forgot to refill your prescription medication.

>>543278996
The reason why classic art is worth so much is because the artist died and therefore the value goes up do to no more supply.

with video games there will always be a supply. and powerful people who own that art now dont want to let it lose value and constantly fight against video games being art. there are two things against you here

Is Starfield at least a bit fun now?
I mean boob mods, nice weapons, lewd shit etc.

do you define art by its value?

my question is more important because the chances of you playing rdr2 on a pirated copy are fairly high.
in which case it has no value, but value was never my original argument. it was that one person considered rdr2 to be good, i know it is bad. he sees art, i see slop. if hes right then anything can be art, and when everything is art nothing is. rdr2 just happens to be in the nothing bin

>>543285612
I won long ago, thats just the bonus round of proving you are a retarded brown monkey.

>>543285592
I had a great time with it. A lot of my time in Online was just spent camping out in West Elizabeth and hunting Elk. Sometimes a moose would spawn.
>>543285612
brother all you did was confuse me, and not in the way you wanted to.

>>543285795
you got confused on your own or you are pretending to be confused. the guy above you >>543285772
thinks im a retarded foreigner, do you really want to be outclassed by that?

>>543286110
talk like a normal person and then maybe we can have a real conversation.

>>543285795
>A lot of my time in Online was just spent camping out in West Elizabeth and hunting Elk. Sometimes a moose would spawn.
I loved the silent, calm treks to remote parts of the woods to fish and hunt in peace.
Game could use few qol but still was fucking amazing.

>>543286250
the game needs a lot of QoL changes. Too bad Rockstar seems to hate it.

>>543286356
Yeah. And putting back all the cut content like returning to Guarma, Tempest Rim and shit.

>>543286185
whats the point in having a real conversation without a topic?

>>543282480
PHAT ASSED NO.

>>543287082
that it ends quickly.

>>543282480
Is that the butt idles animation mod?

>>543287232
oh so real conversations on ones where you win all the time? sorry using proper anything doesnt mean that, as the victor of the art thing we both have solid examples on both sides

>>543287431
I need you to know that saying you won a conversation is not an interesting form of trolling.

>>543287687
didnt you do that a few posts ago or are you about to pretend to be someone else due to the anonymous nature of this site?
either way, real or not, you spent at least 45 minutes being wrong and kept going

I'd just like to congratulate Todd and the Team for creating Fallout 76, Starfield, and the Fallout Show. Really great stuff of the highest quality.

How's F4 modding nowadays? Specifically, NG update adoption? Is there still a divide between NG and "last" update?

>>543289841
Creations are very good and you don't need anything else.

>>543289841
You can use NG mods with the old update

Is this better or worse than the red one?

>>543292915
high fantasy is generally a way more popular genre due to the monumental cultural impact brought on by lord of the rings and continued by the many other fantasy franchises in its wake, skyrim being a sandbox that appeals to pretty much every playstyle imaginable hit the nerve at the time of its release.
opposed to that post apocalyptic themed games never really had as much groundwork laid out for them and don't have as much a mass appeal.
my guess is a huge lore rich literary work and consequent screen adaptations might make games like fallout, stalker and metro just as appealing to the masses.
all that aside you gotta consider that bethesda has been actively reintroducing skyrim onto new customers throughout the last decade

>>543295894
I recall the dev behind warframe talking about how it was difficulty as fuck to get a publisher for the game because, according to publishers, "scifi doesn't sell". Fantasy is overwhelmingly dominant, and, by comparison, far fewer scifi titles make it big like fantasy ones do.

This is especially true the more "hard" scifi you get, with the more real it is generally making it far more niche, which si why a lot of scifi series introduce fantasy elements like "space magic" for stuff like Borderlands, or Mass Effect.

Hello?

>>543296509
AAARRRRRRGGH!!!!!!

>>543295894
>>543296454
high fantasy, sci-fi, the setting I personally really wanna see more of is magipunk where magic and science either coexist as magitek or collide
off the top of my head, that's like half of the final fantasy games but I really wish JRPGs didn't have a goddamn monopoly on that

>>543260579
DC is probably going to be an Enclave story, they've been building it up for years.

>>543261232

Clearly the interloper towering over the Washington monument.

>>543298298
Clearly the Interloper next to the monoliths like the one seen in the Dunwich building, and in the Interloper's cave

Was london actually good or is it just copium from the bethesda bad crowd?

>>543299197
Its pretty bad. Not Frontier or New California bad, just bad.

>>543299197
Copium. With a capital "C." All round tacky dogshit. Though, they *ARE* modders, so you kind of have to give them some slack. But, that's the problem with overly ambitious mods. Realistically, it can only come out as shit or mid.

>>543296454
>according to publishers, "scifi doesn't sell"
reminds me of how the devs of KDC were rejected by every publisher for the same reasons
>you have a middle age themed setting? nice
>but... where's the magic? where's the orcs and dragons?

>>543300237
Then they ended up selling out. Shame what happened there. They added a black character that just shits on Henry, Christianity, and Bohemia, and the player just has to take it like a cuck. They made Henry gay, and added a quest where you save Jews. Lots of suspicious shit.

>>543300775
>they made henry gay
the gay romance is optional and he can just be straight if you don't romance the lad

>>543299197
I played about 10 hours, just can't get into it. I don't know how to describe it, but it feels like a fake game. Plenty of taste, but no sustenance. I do love the Protect and Survive aesthetic they adopted instead of Vault Tec, it was cool to see that. P&S is a real cold war era series of nuclear attack prep videos, along with the creepy jingle. Just cool to see something I'm familiar with.
But not worth all the downgrading and fucking up my F4 install. It is free though, so whatever. Definitely overhyped though.

>>543301143
I'm a little conflicted about it myself. But, it's bit of a strange coincidence. Henry wasn't gay in KCD1. Also, Henry feels like one of those protagonists that's not a complete "player-shaped hole" as New Vegas devs put it when designing their game. He feels more like a Geralt.

>>543300775
honestly i'm so used to fuckery like this i don't even get worked up anymore. i just don't care to waste my time with a game(-series) as soon as i hear it's been pozzed.
maybe the tide will eventually turn now with arabs and chinks buying up studios or having their own guys develop high quality games.
>inb4 CCP propaganda
i kinda doubt chinks would be able to insert their propaganda as shrewdly into their cultural output, it's not something they're known for, at least in the past.
i expect them to try to appeal to global audiences instead of pushing globohomo faggotry or some mythical communist message that only chinese audiences are subsceptible to

Why are there so many people dressed as communist?

>>543302058
>Henry wasn't gay in KCD1
humour me for a moment. I want to present an interesting idea.
You know those bisexual women who say they're attracted to all women but 1% of men?
Hypothetically if Henry is bisexual, would it not be possible that he is also like that. He may just not have been attracted to the other men he's interacted with before.

Functionally this makes him straight with a tiny number of exceptions. I don't feel this would be unrealistic and wouldn't necessarily harm his pre-established character.

Your assessment is fair enough, though.

>>543295894
>>543296454
reminder that emil wanted to add magic to fallout 4 and the only thing that stopped him was the code from skyrim being missing

>>543299197
it's good but flawed, as in unfinished to some degree.
they basically reimagined a non-american fallout setting with their own cultural peculiarities and innuendos and it absolutely feels like the lore-friendly post apocalyptic story you'd expect.
the biggest problem is more of a technical nature, the factions and their storytelling are not that well designed yet, as well as there being tons of cut content that will be released sometime in the future, hopefully.

like for example in FNV you run into both the NCR and legion pretty early on and throughout the game you have almost unrestricted access to their faction bases and hubs, getting to know them and their motivations, talk to characters and do side-quests. the early to mid-game being relatively open-ended up until a certain point where you're forced to choose.
in london it's way more linear and feels more like F3's main quest where you follow a single thread up until the second half of the plot where you suddenly get introduced to several other factions and can check them out as well, unfortunately only for a short time before you are then forced to throw your lot with one of them.
the problem is if you happen to randomly stumble upon them up to that point you wouldn't be able to interact with any of their members, there's absolutely no side-content which might show you what they're like, why and how they do shit, etc.
iirc it was due to problems during development and can be changed sometime in the future, also sizable parts of the gameworld feel rather empty for the same reasons.
i haven't played the recently released update yet, but from what i hear it alleviates the emptyness issue a bit.

all that aside it is still pretty good and well thought out concept, with some luck it will one day be fully realized. so far one of my favourite things is the music. they made several pieces imitating 60s pop sound

I think the UK is just a SHIT setting for fallout

>>543304729
grim.
could've been pretty bad considering the fallout universe actually supports and has previously featured it in the form of psykers, which would be bethesda's justification on why those rather fringe elements that've been deliberately left ambiguous for the sake of mystery should now take center stage in form of a core mechanic.
we really got lucky i guess, all things considered

>>543305707
it can be argued that any place outside the US is at best rather mediocre of a setting for fallout.
maybe australia could be fun, making a full circle for the mad max vibes but i assume it would turn into the next mojave but with roos and assorted mutated insects

>>543306028
make australia a dense jungle instead.

>>543306028
There is also the issue that, once you get outside of America there's
-No Vaults
-No Super Mutants
-Few, if any, of the identifiable robots
-Significantly less laser/plasma weapons
-No power armor
At that point it barely a Fallout game. would be like setting an Elder Scrolls game outside of Tamriel, not having the Aedra be a big thing, and almost none of the 10 playable races show up. Not to mention no Dwemer or Aylied ruins.

At that point why not just make a different franchise?

Anyone any experience attempting to mod F4 on Linux?

I can launch the base game fine, but launching F4se through Mod Manager is giving me a blank screen, the audio of the opening video, and then closing.

This is with no mods in play.

>>543305772
i think this just exemplifies how much of a hack emil is that he associated the town of salem with witches instead of witchhunting. a perfectly good opportunity to weave the synth plot point into a conflict in the town most famous for the persecution of an other and he just wanted a le epic magic battle instead. can't wait for this stellar writing quality for 5
>>543306787
fallout doesn't need any of those elements to be interesting

>>543307182
>fallout doesn't need any of those elements to be interesting
At that point it isn't Fallout, its just Metro, or Mad Max.

>>543271393
That's just Bethesda games in general. You need at least like 20 mods to play any bgs game in a "vanilla" way without egregious save ruining bugs

>>543307182
he's right though, move out of America and it just ceases to be a fallout game
besides, we've far from exhausted locations in America, personally I liked the sound of New Orleans when this was brought up before

If the guy who made More Mojave lurks this thread, move your Toxic Cave, the feral ghoul path is bullshit for an early game character.

>>543306787
i might sound like a london shill but the devs did a rather good job with reimagining at least two of those things

>No Vaults
there's no vault boy and everything associated with it, but they replace it with their own version which was used IRL during the cold war, the "protect and survive" public awareness campaign. its mascot was the family, a bunch of stick figures which are now used in folon's version of pip boy.
also there's a bunch of secret bunkers, vaults and laboratories, and smaller personal protection types akin to the pulowsky chambers
https://youtu.be/7yrv505R-0U?si=g15ij6b9JVPzXC_O&t=74
>No Super Mutants
it's arguable whether those should've been in more than 1-3 fallout games at all.
still they have their own versions of mutants, though i kind of agree as they're not as notable.
>Few, if any, of the identifiable robots
they have a few of those, mostly variations of an assaultron type of bot, but the others are characteristically unique like pic related
>Significantly less laser/plasma weapons
true, they well for the pipe-gun meme since it's more convenient for a london setting where nobody had firearm loicenses prior to the war.
>No power armor
yes, they should've made one, or something resembling it mechanically

>>543307452
I download like maybe 10 mods per Bethesda game, and only one of those really targets bugs. The others don't even massively change gameplay mechanics or anything.

Does anyone know why things like pic related sometimes spawn like this? Its pretty hit or miss if the game lets you pic it up too.

>>543318884
strange, i too have this aversion to more ayy shit in the fallout universe, even though i kinda enjoyed MZ.
i guess because it turns the universe into 50s ayy panic slop instead of faux cold war social commentary with mysteries sprinkled inbetween.
kinda like an unseen monster being twenty times more spooky than one that's constantly on screen

Every day, we grow closer to season two of Todd's shit-show. The retcons make canon less and less relevant in Bethesda's continuity, and soon my garbage fanfic faction will be considered not only good by comparison, but just as valuable.

M-Mistuh white, I can explain-

I love 76. Best map in the series and it's fun. I also enjoy seeing dudes, checking out camps and trading shit. I was getting mogged by a deathclaw and this guy saved my ass and helped me finish the quest. He gave me some fish and ammo and left. Reminds me of old school online games before the korean mmo grind ruined everything.

the enclave peaked with this. bunch of old farts with some of the best technology in america shitting all over the enemy

>>543323831

>>543324963
If you could jump into single player with mods of your choosing, I'd consider reinstalling. I've always wanted a game where I can build an entire castle or a giant armored vehicle without having to spend months of my life chipping away at rocks, killing jobbers, getting my ass handed to me by try-hards or doing repetitive fetch quests for it. Every game from Crossout to 76 ended up being a scam in that regard, and the ads telling you to 'live your dreams' showing cool shit never amount to anything. You'd be better off building a killdozer IRL and hiding it from the glowies than wasting your life on this shit.

>>543292915
>skyrim
>still getting mods

Skyrim modding is probably even worse than Fallout 4. Skyrim Nexus is just full of garbage, even quest mods are rare and often have terrible AI voice acting or no voice acting at all as was the case with lordbound.
>>543328290
A new land mod by the same people who made Dry Wells.
https://youtu.be/vsFXdAs4jbE?si=xfDDfQtCSVu1rTKz

>>543329884
>Dry Wells
never played that, you might as well give me a qrd on that while you're at it

Replaying 3 and man this game has like no build variety.
No traits.
Dr armor system just makes anything not power armor give such pitiful defense you don’t bother with it and nothing really has any decent additional bonus effects anyway
Enemies are pretty easy and the damage increase is minimal so honestly 20 skill in bug guns is still enough to use a minigun just fine on hard
Zero perks exist. This is the craziest part, i don’t remember the perk selection being this small. Outside of finesse and better criticals
All you really have is vats perks, boring skill increase perks, like 2 dialog perks and uh a few random bullshit perks nobody will ever take like rad resistance
Im sorry 4 i won’t complain about your rpg mechanics again

>>543330213
nta but it gives you pre-nuke dry wells. you get to see a bit of legion civilization, quests regarding slaves, and a bit of infighting within the legion. has multiple endings iirc

>>543330213
Remember the locations you can blow up at the end of the Lonesome Road? Well these mods let you visit them before you blow them up. Dry Wells was a fairly small and solid mod. Nothing jaw-dropping, but it worked and was quite enjoyable. I won't lie Long 15 looks way more interesting while maintaining the same level of quality. It looks like Legion lost again

>>543328290
Just another “dlc size” fallout mod to add to the pile. Theirs like 13 of these now and to be honest none of them are good. Like ever since new California came, i got sour on them.
Long 15, actually does excite me a little just from the fact it mostly uses vanilla textures and the voice acting sounds like something that could have been in vanilla/dlc.
The usual issue with these mods is that they feel like mods instead of content that could have been dlc which is what people actually want
And usually the dev team get too cocky and start trying to be fancy attempting to do shit the engine or modders can’t handle like giant combat set pieces or giant empty levels with not enough content to fill so it feels like jank

>>543330849
I really don't mind mods feeling like mods if they're entertaining. Even New California was quite fun with the main problem being that it was never finished.
I think it's silly to expect mods to have the same level of quality and polish that you get from a professionally made game, but on the other hand they can give you a much more interesting and unique experience.

>>543330802
Main problem seems to be it's harder to come up with legion focused quests, and while that's understandable it also seems based around the lack of imagination.

Like in dry wells there's a mention of a guy who skipped out of paying the barber, so the legion cut off his hands... that feels like it easily could have been a quest chain. A legion dude doesn't feel like being a "cop" because he sees it as being beneath him so he gets you to go around delivering punishment, with how you punish them either being appropriate, or essentially letting them go free (in an obvious way or where the legion THINKS you did a good job)

That one legion retribution quest mod is essentially a legion version of those bounty quest mods and even then most of the quests are just killing dudes or dealing with slaves.

>>543296509

>>543336071
Did you forget what game you were chalking about mid post? All 3/nv dlc's are 4-5 hours max. You can watch a youtube playthrough if these almost 20 year old games have been purged from your memory. Operation anchorage is less then 2 hours, point lookout and old world blues at less the 4.

Also... the "dlc size" wording is usually literal to the size of the map. The world map of those games are made up of a grid that's visible with a button press. The average dlc is 11x11 blocks in size, here's the entirety of old world blues in a single screenshot.

Should I? Or is it better to go for the more reliable 10 energy damage? And before you ask the double shot isn't available to me yet.
