Fallout 4

I agree. It'd been nice for more choices but it sort of makes sense that he may say to hell with it since nothing is improving. It would have been nice to use nuka world as a way to build and army of your own to restore things. I think bethesda's going to go back to the old way of things more as they've seen how unhappy folks are. Multiple choice has always been part of the games going back to the first one. I'm taking a break from the game since i can't get the trophy to pop, i wish i'd listened to folks about Warframe sooner. It's free and it beats the ever loving hell out of destiny.
 
When I did that part last night I was thinking "Oh man the crazies are going to be sending them death threats!"

I've found more complete X01 sets in this DLC than the entire game. I've found two and then that one that is locked at the Starport thing.

There are plenty of X-01s around anyhow. Without touching any of the DLC, I had 3 complete and one almost complete sets.
 
I agree Bethesda really did drop the ball on this game when it came to the story and choices compared to the past games. Everyone dislikes New Vegas but it gave you the most choices out of all the Bethesda fallouts when it came on how you wanted to play.

I didn't dislike New Vegas at all. It had some problems, but every game has some problems. I agree that there is a distinct lack of options in Fallout 4 though.
 
As near as anyone can figure out it was a prototype prewar and they finished it post war. Bethesda doesn't really adhere to canon sadly, just like the T60 was around before the war yet the t51 was the pinnacle of development and it says so in the games. I got so many x01s now lol. I'm just sick of playing the game so i'm off doing other ones until either that trophy gets fixed or i get the urge to grind.

I just went and counted, I have 4 complete X-01s and 2-3 incomplete. They're useful for different paint jobs but that's about it. Once you get through all of the DLC and finish the game, there isn't a lot to do except want to shoot Preston in the head to stop him from giving you all those stupid missions. I've got all of my settlements so heavily armed and armored, I hardly bother to shop up anymore unless I absolutely have to. They could take on an army of deathclaws and win without me.

Maybe I'll go running around in the Glowing Sea in my underwear with a pipe pistol on Survival, see how much fun that is.
 
I read today on Bethesda's website that Sony straight out refused the mods as is proposed by Bethesda. Won't happen. I'm buying an XBox One today, that's decided. Won't throw out the PS4, but I've been wanting to have both anyway for a while, this is just the push I needed. Don't have a gaming PC, don't plan on buying one, so both consoles under my TV it will be.
Questions though : is the S version worth waiting a few days for though ? And would the Xbox and PS4 really benefit from a 4K TV over a standard full HD ?
Many years ago I declared that Sony was dead to me. I forget what they did. I think it was when they removed the backward compatibility with the PS2 in an update. Now I have a new reason to say Sony is dead to me.
 
I... am increasingly bitter at how railroaded I feel as a player. Spoilers ahead, in case anyone wants to wait and see what goes on in Nuka World... Okay. So you get to a point in the main quest where you have to choose either to go out and help the raiders take over all your settlements in the Commonwealth, or else take 'em all out there at Nuka World. No middle ground. No "wow -- that territory is already all yours?" You also can't be selective. You can't just take out the Operators, for instance. As soon as you attack any of the raiders, all of them are insta-hostile. Fighting your way clear is... interesting. It's apparent the intention is more than "for those who want to play the bad guy for a change". What it actually ends up being is "you have to be the bad guy -- all other choices lead to messy death*."

[*Unless you're very tough, very well armed, and very quick on the stimpacks.]

I'm getting very frustrated at everything to do with Fallout 4 being so full of potential... but then stopping short of delivering (the cut BoS ending), or forcing an outcome where you can see another way out (take over the Institute and work with the other factions as its new leader, for instance). I was only just starting to explore Nuka World after becoming the new Overboss, and was already figuring I wanted to free the traders, let the Pack have Safari Adventure, kill the heads of the Operators and turn the rest into well-paid security, sic the Disciples on the Hubologists, get the power back up, and turn it into a New Vegas of the East -- a destination for traders and travelers coming in out of the wastes, a beacon for refugees from the Pitt... An anchor point for helping re-establish civilization...

...But the DLC seems to actively work against that beneficial of an outcome.

I removed a comment about the factions in the main game because after posting I read the rest of what you posted and you said basically the same thing.

I am going to start this tonight, but for Nuka World, the generic NPC's give you the clue.
Some of them keep telling you it is OK to kill people, just don't get caught. So the trick is to kill the various raiders where there are no witnesses. There is also supposed to be a quest to kill the leader of the group who get the smallest amount of land. On that quest, the other two leaders help you out. So my plan is to kill the third leader and then pick off the raiders one by one until there are only a few left, then kill the other two leaders. Assuming they raiders don't keep respawning. Although I only really care about killing off the Disciples. The other two groups are more interested in caps than killing so they may get to live.
 
Honestly i'm not going to be in much of a hurry for fallout 5 after this, i'm taking a very long break because this damned game won't pop a trophy i've done more than enough requirements for. This last DLC only was worth playing for the trophies as there was about as much storyline as you got with the vault dlc and the robot dlc to be honest.
 
When I did that part last night I was thinking "Oh man the crazies are going to be sending them death threats!"

I've found more complete X01 sets in this DLC than the entire game. I've found two and then that one that is locked at the Starport thing.

Suppressers.

Jumped on last night while waiting for the Destiny DLC to get up and running and had zero interest in the game. I guess I'm off Fallout for a while. I was playing the Far Harbor DLC and just couldn't get into it.
 
A lot of folks are having trouble getting into it, it's the way they spread the DLC out. One person mentioned that by the time the DLC hit everyone had stopped playing long enough to forget what they were doing before they left off. I'm going to go back in a while and try and get this last trophy. One thing i noticed is everyone said they like New Vegas more than this one suddenly lol
 
I'm only on my second game so I've been messing around with a lot of building mods. I've now got a crazy building built up the back side of the Starlight Drive In screen with a big lookout tower on top. Oh and a bar with a nice view up there as well.

BTW, if you're wearing power armor, there's an indicator that shows when you spotlight is on, then there's a blank one under it. Is that for jetpack (which I never use)? It's obviously an indicator for some other accessory, but I've never seen anything there. It would have been nice to have a night vision addon for your helmet (really Bethesda? You never thought of that?).

New Vegas is awesome. I've played through that one 2 or 3 times.
I have no interest in starting over with F4 any time soon.

The game is amazing in terms of graphics. I like the weapon/armor crafting although I was just as happy with the system in New Vegas and having to repair them all the time.

Just like the other Fallout games I feel like the decisions you make throughout the game don't have the appropriate consequences.

I'll eventually burn myself out on Destiny and go back to F4. It's the whole reason I bought the Xbox One.
 
Yeah this fallout had the worst dlc and least amount of choices that mattered. It kinda feels like parts of the story just didn't get included and it feels unfinished as they didn't even give a trophy for survival mode like they usually do.
 
The thing I like the least is building communities. I stopped responding to "X is under attack". So of course one of the DLC's is to build a vault. Yeah, that place has been attacked two or three times already.

I like that part it just didn't go far enough. The defense rating makes little to no difference in people being kidnapped or the settlement getting attacked. I've made impregnable settlements with overlapping fields of fire that no one in their right mind would attack (except an organized army or BoS) and Raiders still attack it. Heck some attacks start with the attackers just spawning inside the settlement. I know Raiders aren't smart, but c'mon!
 
I just armed the crap out of the settlers and have a ton of turrets aimed at the spawn points, virtually nothing ever gets through.
