Fallout 4

I'm trying the lost world overhaul. Basically turns it into either stalker or metro (you can choose).

turns out I'm not trying the lost world mod. Along with a good many other almost mandatory mods now, they require all the dlc. I only ever bought automatron.

I've decided I'm going to pick up the season pass just to get at some of these mods so I'm waiting till it drops in price again. Not paying £27 when it's been as low as a fiver on many occasions.

In the interim I've loaded up the Horizon total overhaul. Holy shit a lot of work has gone into this.

I've removed all the creation club stuff from my game. I have got some other cool mods on though that add to the game in a lore friendly ways.

Ammo breakdown & crafting - req gun nut
Satchels & backpacks - req armourer
FO76 encumbrance - not forced to crawl, use AP slowly to walk and can't sprint while encumbered
Settlement beacons - craft beacons you can put in containers with a load of junk you've scavenged and a local settler will retrieve and return it to a settlment

I'm still waiting for the current gen update before I go back in. My biggest problem with this game is my lack of willpower, every time I start a new game I tell myself I won't be duping the special book - but every time within a couple of hours it's 10's or more across the board (you can get insane stats in survival mode). One day though, I'll do it properly.

is this your own self-restraint that fails rather than an accidental game world bug?

I'm finding the survival a right old bag of challenging fun. Healing is over time and now makes you thirsty & rad meds lower immunities meaning you can't just charge into situations or blast your way out of them so creative speech or planning is employed more often.

Last night's simple excursion was over hearing a couple in the diamond city taphouse arguing and the man stormed out. Turns out the bartender has been schtuppin' his wife and he wants to confront him. I agreed to follow him inside as backup and got my 100caps upfront. When the bartender challenged me I just said this is 'Nowt to do with me, I'm here to watch' to which the husband realises I fucked him over. Did I say I was playing as the evil bastard?

A gunfight ensues and the bartender kills the guy. He now wants me to cover it up and offers me the skinny on a drug shipment but we need no witnesses. I loaded up on food and water and head down to the meeting point to see 2 people chatting and 3 armed guards.

I can't survive a 5 on 1 gunfight in survival and don't know how useful the bartender is. Since you can't save unless you sleep, I spent time sneaking around setting up some traps before lobbing a Molotov in to set them off. While they're dealing with the fire and bartender at one side I flanked and shotgunned them to death.
After the firefight, I interrogated the drug mule Trish to find but that there is a secret chem lab somewhere but she wanted me to guarantee her safety, high speech lady that I am I pushed for the info first but it failed and I had to behead her with a machete. Had to. I swear! I looted the med crates, 60 each of mentats, jet & buffout and went back to diamond city to sell it all.

I genuinely have no recollection of this quest on previous playthroughs but not being able to save scum sure does add some tension to proceedings. I'll be off to the factory to see if I can find this secret entrance later.

How significant is the update for this suppose to be? I've got it on Series X and am feeling a bit Fallouty but I might wait if it'll be worth it. Just an FPS bump (assume it's 30fps now?) or a proper makeover?

Might just continue my NV playthrough instead for now

Not feeling Starfield, although the mention of a supernatural element at least makes it marginally more interesting

Guessing the consoles don't get reworked texture mods?

One of those and ENB + preset and it can look purdy.

It's amazing how many glass bottles you find all over the place in this game. Never really cared for them before but now I need to keep hydrated, I'm hoovering them all up so I can fill them up with a water pump

It already runs at 60 thanks to the framerate boost thing that xbox did.

Update delayed until next year. Probably to give them time to monetize mods like they have with Skyrim.

Spent years making an empty boring game in Starfield to then focus on their next project, a next gen patch of the game no one liked. Fucking hell Bethesda just do New Vegas!

I've actually been looking forward to it too...

Just seen this.  

This is the video I used.  





It dupes the same way as any other item using the scrap/store method - the trick is making it scrappable in the first place.

Well, shit. It’s actually a thing!
