Do a low intelligence run after you complete both.

tbh all you're doing in this dlc is exploring each area while enemies get spammed at you

pretty tedious dlc so far

The best part about it so far is that they finally brought in the AK assault rifle platform

Now I don't have to use that big ass ugly normal Assault Rifle one anymore.

kiddie kingdom's lots of fun for tots like you and me

I found a Dark Souls Easter egg in Nuka World lol

There's a destroyed house in Bradberton in the top-right of the map with a bonfire in it.

You can get a legendary one for free from Mason (King Furry) by doing all the negative responses whilst introducing yourself.

Increase in damage with every concurrent hit, very OP. 2 accurate clips to the body kills a Mirelurk Queen.

Well I killed all the raiders with my gatling laser, I actually had to turn off the auto saves because I was triggering so many cap-splosions and bloody messes that my game was chugging and crashed at one point.

I'm thinking of keeping the Pack and Operators alive and slaughtering the Disciples. I didn't like them the second I saw them and the shithole they live in, plus their leader is a cunt that I plan on crushing with my power armor and Sentry Bot companion.

If you kill one, they all turn hostile.

Sierra and all the Traders turn hostile if you kill the raider maintaining the Nuka arcade, even though he's a raider as well.

BaconShelf · September 06, 2016, 02:02:36 AM

If you want rid of a specific faction, just don't give them any territory.

Spoiler

They turn on you eventually if you aren't treating them nicely

Quality writing once again, Bethesda

BaconShelf · September 06, 2016, 02:46:35 AM

Nuka world more like pukeaworld

Because it makes you feel physically sick because of how bad it is

big dog · September 06, 2016, 02:49:54 AM

this is fallout 4s equivalent to lonesome road

big dog · September 06, 2016, 03:45:46 AM

brotherhood and pack raiders fighting alongside one another...really makes you think

Jono · September 07, 2016, 05:08:43 AM

I finally finished the main story for Nuka World after doing the shitloads of side quests that came with it. I managed to be on good terms with the Operators and Pack just like how I planned.

I got the Nuka Cola T-51B armor and the X-01 Nuka Cola Quantum armor, even though finding all the star cores was a pain in the ass to get that set of X-01.

I got some Raider settlements and now Preston hates me lmao but I don't plan on doing any more cause I've had enough settlements to last a lifetime.

I have to say after all this is that this has been my favorite DLC for Fallout 4.

The only thing left to do now is do some more side quests and explore the areas I couldn't get to when the power was off.

big dog · September 07, 2016, 05:19:12 AM

fucking disgusting

BaconShelf · September 07, 2016, 05:26:45 AM

Man I love scavenger hunts, I'm so glad nuka world accomodates my tastes

Nuka recipes
Star cores
Cappy poster things
Scav
Space suits
Giddyup buttercup horses

Thank you bethesda for your top notch quest design

big dog · September 07, 2016, 05:33:54 AM

radiant quests are fucking shit
remove radiant quests
remove legendary system
more unique weapons

that's a quarter of the way to significantly improving fallout 4

BaconShelf · September 07, 2016, 06:19:59 AM

how did they get away with it?

There's nothing inherently wrong with radiant quests, as long as they're not replacing regular quests and still have some variety. Slyrim's thieve's guild (And dark brotherhood) quests were great because they gave a variety of objectives in a variety of locations, so you could mess about and come up with new ways of achieving the objective. On top of that, you were working towards something by building TG rep in each city, then unlocking new fences, stores in the Thieve's Guild and that sweet Guildmaster Armour set.

In Fallout 4, the problem is that all radiants are just go and empty a dungeon, which is exactly what you'd be doing anyway. There's no feeling of accomplishment or anything like you could get with, say, a reputation system.

Radiant quests are nice to have but they shouldn't be there at the expense of other content. They're a cool idea by themselves.

Bethesda can't even follow their own lore.

To be FAIR, he said that they don't need to eat. That doesn't mean they can't eat, or that food doesn't satisfy them.

The first image is pretty funny though.

Centaurs are certainly more creative in design, but that wouldn't make any sense lore-wise. Centaurs were the result of throwing a bunch of random shit into FEV, in the way the Master and other Super Mutants would definitely do. But the Institute wouldn't be that careless, they would meticulously create some "perfect" companion for Mutants.

I don't understand this business of EVERY pre war company had some dirty secret going on. Like, when you enter the office of some prewar institution, it's like they all have to be dumping nuclear waste in the lake or selling weapons to criminals or something.

Not every business is some shady corrupt organisation. Well, unless secondclass is in charge of writing the lore now anyway.

I don't think you understand how fucked up the pre-war Fallout universe was. You can even go back to the first game and see that.

Considering Bethesda likes to shoehorn in as much stuff from the earlier games as possible to remind you that their game is meant to be Fallout I'm surprised they didn't put centaurs in.
