Fallout 4 Post-Release Bullshit

[Jeff Kelly]

Enclave Power Armor = best Power Armor

[Surlyboi]

Yup. With a shark paint job.

[Threash]

Had a room packed with 3 synths and one synth leader, tossed a frag grenade in, got a bunch of exp pop ups and everything is quiet.  Until i walk in and the Synth leader is on the floor sitting propped up against a desk legless but alive and proceeds to light me up with his auto laser.  Fuck, i love this game.

[Surlyboi]

Ye like dags?

[Sky]

I was beating on a skull robot and doing ok, but he leapt in and his head opened up and turned into a laser and fried me.

Watching some dudes fight super mutants, they were armed with flamethrowers and it was foggy out. Had a wicked creepy WW1 vibe, looked intense.

[Surlyboi]

Saw some raiders actually manage to take down a vertibird in a random fight. Piper almost ate it in the wreckage.

[Sky]

Seeing a few interesting evolutions in areas I'd previously done quests in as well as references to my activities on some computers. Still not very far along, but still some nice small touches to push the verisimilitude.

[Quinton]

My first encounter with super mutants was stumbling on a roving band of them, and getting tackled by one that rushed me, carrying a mini-nuke.

That earned me the "Touchdown" achievement.

[Tannhauser]

I find killing by mines and grenades very satisfying.  Saw a super mutant across a courtyard with a building at his back.  Threw a hail mary since it was so far way and it detonated after one bounce killing him.

[Falconeer]

So satisfying. I found myself in trouble in a Water sanification plant full to the brink with mirelurks and especially a very nasty Legendary Mirelurk. After dying a couple of times in less than a second, I devised a plan: lured the thing in a hallway and backpedaled while dropping landmines (about three of them). The beast stepped on all of them and definitely felt it but refused to die, but didn't feel like chasing me around some more corners, so it stalked me and trapped me in a dead end. From there, I tossed three or four grenades against the wall angling them so they could bounce against the wall and straight on the monster, and a few seconds later I got the Ding! XP! message. Mission accomplished.

Disappointed with some weapons:
- Flamer: Weaaaaaak. Damage output is like spraying them with cold water. Toss molotov and unload shotgun shells instead.
- Minigun: Looks cool, but it's not really good enough for even light targets. Inaccurate at medium range and ineffective against medium armor at point blank. Deadweight.
- Auto rifles in general, not worth the low damage, high recoil. Terrible in VATS, poor pay off in real time. I rather just do rapid taps on Laser Rifle since it's wayyyy more accurate. They also make better crit builder in VATS.

Frag mines are just auto-win as long as you're not fighting dudes with grenades. Find a corner, plant frisbees. Ding. Assaultron goes down quick with 2-3 of them and shotgun to the face.
I haven't crafted a single weapon mod since I don't have the perks, but seeing as how I can't do the Jumpjet/Tesla without Perks, I guess I'm screwed anyway. Kinda disappointed I can't pay someone to mod my Power Armor.

[Falconeer]

Full dialogue mode. Yes please.

All the weapons are poop on their own. I think Bethesda wants you to max out one of the damage boost perks, because at full rank you get double damage and bypasses a lot of armor.

[Merusk]

Yeah, they're VERY "pick a path" with the weapons. I played around with cheatmode because I was frustrated with low damage and wanted to see which would be most effective. The difference between zero points and even a few points in a specific weapon category is massive.

However I really dislike how they've split-up the categories as the perks aren't intuitive. The 'energy weapons' perk is gone, with Nuclear Physicist only affecting Radiation Weapons, of which there are 3. The Agility perk is ALL automatic weapons, regardless of type. So Automatic lasers, rifles, shotguns, plasma weapons, and Pistols are covered under this one perk. However single-shot weapons are split across three different perks. Plasma thrower is under Heavy Weapons, Pistols have another perk in the Agility Line and Single-shot rifles are under Perception.

Kinda fucked.

Seems like Agility is THE stat as it gives you sneak, most weapons and VATS boosts. Int (for Medic, Gun Nut, Hacker, Scrapper, Science and Nuclear Physicist)/ Charisma (for settlements) are the second strongest stats.

[Threash]

The V.A.T.S melee distance increase at 9 agi is so hilariously OP, you basically get the range of most guns.  Glad i went with a melee build for my very hard playthrough.

My Legendary Incendiary Minigun is very nice for when an unexpected Deathclaw appears. Unfortunately, it results in me running out of Minigun ammo though. Plus, you just look really silly running along in power armor holding a pistol.

[satael]

Ran into a dead legendary raider & friends. After sneaking around trying to find what had taken them all around I noticed some gooey body parts  which turned out to be from a super mutant suicider.

Epic encounter with "a" Swan  This game!

[jakonovski]

I found a .50 cal pipe rifle with a silencer and night vision scope. One shot kill on super mutants. Fuck yes.

[Yegolev]

I would like to be able to craft bullets.  I assume this problem will go away later.

It did for me when I was like "this is not Silent Hill" and I went into offline mode and am abusing the ever living fuck out of the infinite money bug at every store in the game before continuing.

I'm not buying anything but bullets and I never take extra money from the store, I'm just uhhhh, not playing this fucking "Bullet Economy Simulator."

[Khaldun]

I spent a LOT of time to kill a certain Queen Mirelurk. That was fun. I could cheese it a bit but it still took some care.

[Sky]

I'm ok with relatively uncommon bullets. It's only been an issue a couple times. Bullet sponges tend to mean 'come back later' or 'find damage type weakness'.

Really loving this combat shottie I found and upgraded. I usually hold off with my ammo until I can make it worth it with a decent gun. Skipped regular and double barrel shotties, and even with the combat shottie I waited until I found one with some decent mods already. Now I've got a nice close combat weapon to complement my mid (tuned for AP) and long (tuned for accuracy and dmg) range rifle set.

[Falconeer]

The Scrounger perk, from the Luck branch, helps a lot with that and it takes only 2 LCK to get it.

[Threash]

I had to kill her fast, that acid spray was making me go through my dwindling stimpack supply fast.  My entire mine stockpile and a couple mini nukes right into her mug weren't enough to drop her.

Just give yourself bullets #pcmasterrace

[jakonovski]

Eh, one point in the bullet finding perk and you'll never lack for ammo.

[Ironwood]

A hashtag, Trippy ?  OMG.   

[Trippy]

I know, I know.

At least it's not an '@' symbol.

@Trippy What's the console command?

[schild]

and.... does it lock out achievements 

[Merusk]

Console commands don't lock-out achieves.

god bless

[Trippy]

In the previous ones using a console command would disable achivements for that session, but if you save, quit out and come back in the achievements are back on. Not sure if FO4 is the same.
