Fallout 4

[UnderOpenSky]

Excited for the new adds on. Although my gaming time has reduced to a tiny amount. I'll be lucky to finish the witcher this year at the rate I'm going.

 

[Epona]

Of course they called it Far Habor. Because they want to make use of all those Bostonian accents.

FAAAHHH HAAAAAHHHHHBAAAAHHHH

If there isn't at least 1 NPC that says "Did you park your car in the Far Harbor Yard?" I'm going to want a refund!

Come to think of it why isn't the a recipe for "New England Mirelurker Chowda"?

i played ten minutes of the Witcher and wasn't wild. The combat while alot batter than Skyrim, still annoyed me, but most of all I could not stand the main characters voice. So to be clear, I'm chasing after the nudey chick from the flashback because I want to get into her nickers? I have to admit swords and sorcery has never been my favourite genre so, hmmmmmmm.......

 

[8den]

No reports on the DLC?

 

[ohmyliver]

I got a season pass, so it automatically downloaded. It's basically adds a robot crafting station (and a shortish quest) where you can make your own robots. You find schema for new limbs/heads/etc from robots you kill. It's quite good. You can make robots who can lockpick for your, or hack terminals, or heal you.

I've almost got to level 100 on my main character and some of the tougher robots in the DLC have been challenging in a way that deathclaws no longer are.

Finally got our PS4 plus "Fallout 4" and "GTA: V" on Saturday.

Not done much so far apart from visit Concord, build a few things, kill a few raiders and get killed by a security bot that I knew I shouldn't fire up but did anyway

Mr.QofG's is playing "GTA: V" but has to have the surround sound down really quiet and the door closed 'cos sounds travels a lot in this house and the small one is asleep directly above and he is perhaps a little young for some of the, ah colloquialisms in there

 

[Vintage Paw]

Does anyone have the DLC? How is it?

 

[ohmyliver]

Do you like robots? Would you like the ability to craft robots? Do you want to battle robots? Do you want an electricity gun? If the answer is yes to all of those, then it's great.

Basically it adds a new quest, a couple of dungeons, some more guns, a new armour type, and the ability to craft robots. You fight the Mechanist (who isn't the same Mechanist as in Fallout 3). Apparently if you fight the Mechanist in the Silver Shroud suit you get additional dialogue.

Picked this up a couple weeks ago, now on level 25 and there's a sudden proliferation of missile launchers. Really loving this one.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

I so want to play this. Except won't have any time for months

 

[8den]

I cannot find the silver shroud around. I left it near Lenny for fucks sake.

[8den]

Oh the rifleman perk plus some ninja shit and converting the overseers guardian to a 308 is a killer

I stick with my knee capping plasma rifle. The leg crippling thing almost breaks the game, 20% chance means that you've got a very good chance of reducing say legendary chameleon death claw into a creature that lies twitching on the ground as you slowly shoot it to death with your worst gun.

I'm looking forward to playing the new survival mode

 

[poului]

Many, many chuckles to be had.

I've never seen seen the legendary death claws is his lob bottle cap mines run away from the mines and fire at the claw/mirelurker queen. 3 bottle cap mines kill anything

 

[ohmyliver]

Been playing the new survival mode. In short a lot more fragile, no saves except autosaves when you sleep in a bed, disease, carry weight.

I prefer it, makes the game more sneaking around trying not to be ambushed not looting absolutely everything and picking battles wisely.

I've lost a good 3-4 hours of game play by playing in a hung ho way though.

 

[8den]

Is there no fast travel?

I'd like to play it but the lack of fast travel and auto saves would be a major turn off.

Yes, there's fast travel, you just click on the location on the map in the pip boy iirc

Eta you mean In survival mode don't you

 

[ohmyliver]

not in survival mode.

 

[ohmyliver]

I find that changes the game in a good but also annoying way.

It's annoying to have to slep back to sanctuary, especially with the reduced carry weight

But it means that those weapon/armour/etc stations, and random matresses etc are much more useful.

 

[Vintage Paw]

I keep meaning to go back to this. I'll likely get all the DLC -- should have stumped for the season pass really. I never finished the main story. Never even met the Railroad.

 

[ohmyliver]

The other thing is that disease is a thing and food and water matter much more. Antibiotics are rare unfortunately. Spent a good few hours with various infections and ailments before finding the only antibiotics I've found so far. You also need chemist level one to craft, which means it's a good few levels away for my dumb but lucky riflewoman

 

[Vintage Paw]

I realised the other day what a bad idea my potential future build was. I wanted a brawler, full on melee, probably bare fist when I can get away with it, everything in strength, endurance, a few extras... and since I'd been utilising the wonder that is the far more intuitive and helpful explosives/grenades system, she was going to use them a lot too.

Then I remembered that the same button for heavy attack is the one for throwing a grenade. Fine if you're at range all the time (with only the occasional mishap when a mirelurk gets too close), but a potential living hell if you're melee.

I still want to do it though. I love explosives in FO4.

 

[ohmyliver]

I've found that survival mode has dragged me right back in. I like that it feels like there is more of a narrative structure because of the lack of saves and fast travel. I'm currently just about to attempt to clear out the super duper mart because I've found an armour station and have enough leather and cloth to upgrade my armour, so long as I find adhesive I'm good. Then do I slep back to sanctuary, or push on to diamond city. It's getting dark and I'm tired so finding a bed is probably the first thing to do.

 

[ohmyliver]

I've also found that as ammo now weighs, using a missile launcher is pretty much very high strength/power armour limited as each missile weighs 7, which with a carry weight total of 125 at strength 5 means that I had to leave 10 of 'em in a safe...

Do you still have to do settlement defence? Because that would get properly shit.

 

[8den]

not in survival mode.

Yeah presumably when mods come out (for the console) I'll take off ammo carry weight and the autosave and sleep bits. I just don't have time to play the game that way.
