But.. but.. these inbreds are too stupid for such a thing!

I should really finish this game. I'm just about to meet up with Kellogg again, even though I'm close to level 50 from doing side quests and stuff.

I hope Nuka World is more satisfying to work through than Far Harbour, which ended rather.. annoyingly for me.

Bought this cheap a few weeks ago and have to say I really struggle to get in to this game for some reason. Now it's not as if it's the game type as have played fallout 3 along with new Vegas and the dlc plus elder scrolls since morowind.
Something just seems off to me, has anyone else felt this way.

I chalked it up to the voiced PC, and the world feeling fairly empty, along with not really liking any of the factions, other than the brotherhood.

Yeah it felt pretty empty to me in the first few hours of playing. Seems like all those boarded up Ruins are there just to fill up space. Have enjoyed building a settlement mind, wonder if that will be a feature in the next elder scrolls game after the card one.

I've been playing on Survival Mode the past few days.

Been loving the challenge. I went in blind, not reading any playthroughs or tips and such and its pretty challenging, but starting to get easier as I build more settlements, which give me places to sleep and re-up my rations/medicine. With Survival, its like around every corner is something that will kill me in 2-3 hits and it gets pretty intense. Just focusing on Endurance and damage reduction as skills at the moment.

Hoping to be level 30, the recommended level for the final DLC, by the time it drops. Also need to explore the other DLC that I never touched after I took a hiatus playing.

Played Nuka World for a bit and well, it's piss easy when you've specialised your build into a stealthy breaking and entering type.

Also, met a character from Fallout 3, who is having the time of her life right now!



You know what that means.. we got us a new scavenger hunt!

I feel this way, and I chalk it up precisely to the fact that I did spend so much time with Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, and Fallout New Vegas.

I'm just burnt out on Bethesda games...they all start to feel like the same game after a while, and even though Fallout 4 seems a bit more polished, it feels stale because it's not different enough than the previous Fallout games.

Any conversation options to offer to do the horizontal bop or plough her bean field?

So, is it me, or is Nuka World even emptier than Far Habour? It was fun, and attacking my own settlements is cool (and feth Preston, glad he got all huffy and I told him more or less feth off), but there's not a ton of difference between settlers owning a settlement, and raiders, except that raiders don't have supply lines I think.

Just a lot of sarcasm in my case.

feth gak piss witch.

I'm supposed to talk to someone, but he's right next to a fighting cage with two dogs in it, having a go at one another. I thought I'd wait out the fight, as it's hard to have a conversation with dramatic music playing and a growling bark every other second, but no, they don't die or shut up. Whoever thought this looked cool didn't think it all the way through, fething idiot.

I just started Nuka World, and oddly enough found an AK right away (maybe that's intentional). Bugger. I already had an AK mod, but I uninstalled that for this, and bam goes all my ammo. :(

Those Gunners at the train entrance were terrible. I don't wear power armour, but wear a jetpack. I flew onto a roof, but had to jump all over the place because the amount of grenades they were spamming (another would drop before the first went off). Must be an engine limitation with line of sight caused by jetpacks (the NPCs seem to not cope with those things well at all).

Nice to see that you need to uninstall/ reinstall your UI mods to have to get the DLC to work. A bit odd, but UI mods change world reference values leading to crashes. Never seen that before in a Bethesda game.

Fallout 4 seems to be fairly stable for me, though it oddly seems to crash during gunfights after a while playing. I'm not sure if its the lighting or the casings causing it. The system I'm running can cope with the game on Ultra settings at 60, so it is a bit strange. :(

Well gak, I was forced to buy the overpriced full-auto sniper variant and mod it into something useful back home. >:|

I'm not liking this DLC, it more or less forces you become either a Raider and get the full experience, or kill the leaders, wipe out everybody else in the park, just to save the slaves, but at the same time losing out on a gakload of quests.

Also, the Hubologists are back, they're on my "to kill" list for sure.

Playing that first segment on the train Ito Nuka World couldn't help but feel it needed work. It doesn't take that much to have the player hold an overhead rail instead of just standing there like a tool (though the game could do with more player animations during dialogue in general - the NPCs have them...).

Its a pity that day 0 mods had to come out to include the AK and robot parts into the main game, rather than only being available in the DLC zone (or in the case of the parts, not at all). Hmn, though saying that, and only having just started playing the game, is there a mod which adds more robot parts to the Automatron DLC?

I didn't know the DLC included Raiders in it till that first area actually. I hate the goody good player character dialogue options the game forces you to use constantly (you always sound so chipper), even with spamming the sarcastic option. Hopefully this DLC lets me play the ass I always wanted my character to be (I started out with a prim and proper Vaulter, but now they're decked out in Tats and shrapnel. If only there were mods to paint your guns and armour, not just the Power Armour paintjobs).

Well, this DLC does allow you to paint the Chinese Assault Rifle in four different colours.

As for the raider gangs.. We've got clowns who remind me of the Joker gang from Batman Beyond, murderers who are really unoriginal and boring, plus the dandies whose metal armour looks like tuxedos and whatnot. They're okay I guess..?

At least I can look forward to my character wearing the pin-up space suit soon.

This one allows you to recolour pretty much any armour/clothing, as well as swap Legendaries, wear any armour over most clothes, Ballistic Weave everything and give Nick a new hat:

Can't find it on Nexus though, so being a console peasant I don't know if the Bethesda.net version is any good to you.


Speaking of mods, does anyone playing on Xbone have any hidden gems to recommend? I'm pretty happy with the selection I've got a the moment, but I'm always looking for new stuff, particularly weapon/armour/clothes mods (there does seem to be a dearth of good clothing mods on console actually).

without spoilers, if you haven't done the quests for them, do them. I laughed at the end.

with spoilers

Yeah cupcake, next time.. get the fething tags right..

Whoops real sorry, added an s, realised my mistake... and my internet drops -.-

Well, only way to get even now is the next time I spoil something minor to you.

Seems fair. The only rational response then is to never use the internet then.

Hehehe, no worries.

So is Nuka World worth downloading then? I got the season pass, but if it's awful I won't bother downloading it

Thinking about disabling my mods so I can start a Survival play through, and to enable achievements again (seriously, I've missed out on loads. Thanks Bethesda, FFS).

Does the F4 script extender count as a mod for the purposes of tainting your save file with the Mod tag? I did F4SE manually rather than through nexus, so disabling it will be a bitch to do without getting f4 up.

It will be downloaded automatically if you've got the season pass enabled.

It's ok, it's smaller (and emptier/shorter) than Far Harbour, but it was fun for a bit.

There's a mod on the Nexus which enables achievements with mods.

Its smaller, and yet still emptier than Far Harbour??

ERROR DOES NOT COMPUTE

I think there's MAYBE ~15-20 fast travel markers, and they're spread over maybe 6 chunks of land or so. I'd have to boot it back up and make sure I've found everything, but the map isn't that big, and the quest chains are pretty short (mostly "go here, clear this area, give it to a clan", which has no effect as far as I can tell offhand)
