I guess I'm going to start Far Harbour tomorrow of Alien Isolation doesn't arrive and my season pass hasn't been revoked. Anything I should know?

Take Valentine. It's worth it.

Also do side quests. They actually matter.

I only did like the very opening, but yeah. It's detective work. You basically HAVE to take him.

Some of the later conversations and whatnot are a lot cooler if Nick is there. Seeing as I never really used Nick befoee FH, I was surprised by how much I liked hin. I never found him particularly endearing in the main game but taking him as a companion for the DLC really made my experience a lot better.

i wish there was a mod to let you kill piper
That's actually a ridiculously easy mod to make yourself. All you have to do is edit Piper's actor in Creation Kit/whatever Fallout is using now, and uncheck "essential". At least that's what you would do in Skyrim and New Vegas modding. I assume the UI is still the same with FO4's editing software, since the UI has been the same since FO3 and probably Oblivion.

I don't have the creation kit (on xbox), also from what I've heard you can't just edit a companion's essential status and be able to kill them. I have a kill everyone mod and the creator says he couldn't get it to work for some companions.

This is pretty incredible (Vault 101 and Springvale in FO4)

Apparently it's a proof of concept, hinting we may be getting something similar to Skywind.

Yeah. Guy said that most of the assets used for that stuff in Fallout 4 are near identical to Fallout 3 versions minus up-ressed textures and stuff. He's doing 101's interior next.

Basically it's entirely possible to do Fallout 3. It's a lot easier than Oblivion>Skyrim because everything is very similar.

Someone drew the Fallout 1,2,3, NV and Tactics covers in the style of FO4. Looks really cool.

Usually that means in their attempt to do an animation (hitting a wall with a hammer or cooking, or something), they've hit an obstacle, usually because you've placed a wall of object in front of the animation area. Sanctuary comes to mind, they always glitch through my workbenches and end up on the roof of a house gawping around.

Just build a stairs for them to get down (or push them off with bashing), and follow them to see which animation is glitching through objects, then move the constructible parts away from it.

Wow that's awesome. I would like to see him draw the DC Mall area and Rivet City.

Megaton is looking amazing.

I really want to see Fallout 1 redone in the Fallout 4 engine, although the map is fucking massive so it's kinda not possible.

Just got back home from Cardiff, Wales to Nowhere, Wales.

OH BOY 12 HOURS UNTIL FAR HARBOUR DOWNLOADS I CAN'T WAIT.

Luciana · June 11, 2016, 02:53:10 PM

Don't download Dynavision on PC, anyone. I think it's what kept making my game freeze.

I came back from the Brewery next to that settlement and was wall building, when it froze on me (the 3rd time) and I had to restart my PC. I was so annoyed. All that work FOR NOTHING!

The worst part is I got a ton of bottles, so I had like 57 purified water, and it takes ages to fill up in that pump.

Huh so the Nuka World rumor is true

BaconShelf · June 13, 2016, 01:46:36 AM

So I got spring in the Commonwealth. It's pretty nice.

I did a cool thing with sanctuary where I didn't delete everything but instead walled off a small section of town, removed all of the weeds and shit in the road (With Scrap Anything) then made it into mini-Woodbury with an armed militia. All the outside is decrepid and still has a bunch of destroyed houses and shit but inside is nice and clean and actually looks like somewhere people would want to live. I'm super pleased with it.

Here's a clip for anyone interested. I think it might be one of my best builds yet.

That's barely anything. But yeah, it's common. Particularly on survival where radaway has debuff effects - you only end up using it when necessary.

If you have hardcore radiation storms, you'll be seeing +30 rads/sec, too.

Thanks!

I really enjoy the settlements stuff, but I'd probably say this is my first ever real attempt at making sanctuary decent. Usually I just fuck off to Starlight, Tenpines or something and build cool stuff there and promptly forget about sanctuary.

I didn't show much of the sttlers but I have about 40 (Thank you SPECIAL 100) and most are clad in gear got from Communist Army (Adds a bunch of Soviet/ PLA military gear), Camo Army Fatigues, Ranger MKII, Classic Helmets (WWII style German, US and British helmets +different camos) and tacticool weapon mods (Everyone gets Lee Enfield/ Mauser 98K hunting rifles). My army is pretty cool.

This actually sounds really cool. From NW steam page.

Take a trip to Nuka-World, a vast amusement park now a lawless city of Raiders. Explore an all-new region with an open wasteland and park zones like Safari Adventure, Dry Rock Gulch, Kiddie Kingdom, and the Galactic Zone. Lead lethal gangs of Raiders and use them to conquer settlements, bending the Commonwealth to your will. Nuka-World features new quests, Raiders, weapons, creatures, and more. Enjoy the ride!

Non hostile raiders in a Bethesda Fallout is always interesting

hopefully this will be a faction thing
