[MEGATHREAD] Fallout 4 || Contraption, Vault-Tec, Nuka World

[Bushido]

the thing that i really like about the fo4 companions over the new vegas companions is that all the new vegas companions have enormous sweeping quest lines to them that end up actually factoring into the endgame and that means a lot of your companions are extremely important people

like arcade looks pretty simplistic and understated until you start talking to the guy and suddenly the remnants of the forgetin enclave come out of nowhere
you talk to veronica too long and youre wrapped up in a decision that will directly determine the fate of the brotherhood of steel
too close to boone and eventually you end up going toe-to-toe with the entire cottonwood cove camp and trash everything and everyone inside

the only ones who really fall out of that pattern are cass and rex and raul maybe (if you don't count him turning into zombie desert batman as 'enormous and sweeping')

but then like curie on the broadest scale is just a cute science girl who can shoot a gun straight and likes to help people who might end up doing something significant (actually probably considering synths are straight-up immortal?) but ultimately right now shes just content to wander around being nice to people and like cait is just some goober on All the Drugs in the World with a tragic backstory and strong is just

strong

you could argue dogmeat, valentine and x6 are all pretty big players but they're not like earthshakingly ginormous like the remnants showing up out of nowhere in invincible power armor to kick the legion's collective balls and that makes them actually feel more worthwhile

Bushido you're just in love with Curie quit it.

[Bushido]

listen just cause i want to ding dong the french girl does not mean that i cannot have opinions on the scottish lady or lois lane or strong

[Tayasaurus]

yeah well i liked curie first

fight me

[Cybersix]

i miss boone though. and ED-E. they were my brothers. i gave boone salvaged power armor and he would always snipe stuff 400 miles away from me, was good times

Can't wait until someone mods in Boone

[Bushido]

i want the explanation for boone's presence in the commonwealth to just be that he's forgetin lost

like the reason why boone doesnt travel alone is because boone does not know where the forget he is going and he's always had someone to follow around; his spotters, maybe manny at some point, and then eventually the courier

post-game the courier has no reason to stick around and it seems perfectly reasonable for them to split up until boone tries to walk back to novac and oops massachusetts

Some of the bugs in this game are absolutely hilarious. The fo4 subreddit is almost my new favourite place

This one is golden

speaking of mods, im really excited to see what new weapons modders can make. the weapon mod system is goddamn amazing, so I'd be excited to see what modders can do with it. I want to mod the stuff out of an M4 or something

[Bushido]

all i want is an icbm toss

that's a lie. i have a list. where should i send this

[Ipquarx]

opinions on the scottish lady

wait, who

[Ceist]

wait, who

Cait. who's actually irish.

She's pretty rad but has a boring side quest.

[Darryl McKoy]

Cait. who's actually irish.

Yeah but the voice actor is actually Scottish, which is why many people either think Cait is Scottish or has a very bad Irish accent

I really enjoyed the companion quests in NV, it made them more of a person and less of a ball and chain that runs into my grenades, soaks up my bullets and makes witty and/or repetitive dialogue.

The super sledge in fallout 4 looks completely different from the ones in 3 and NV

Fallout 4:

Fallout 3/NV:

I didn't even know the Super Sledge had a rocket on it in FO3/NV until the loading screen said so, they finally added it this time around

I found an x-01 torso and right arm yesterday, everything else is 60e with hot rod flames(b/c I'm too stingy to spend resources on other coatings), anyone know where I can find other x-01 parts?

Anywhere you can find a Power Armor Frame should have a very good chance of being X-01 at that point

Installation K21-B (Abandoned Shack) in the Glowing Sea has one and if you're currently on good terms with the Institute you don't have to fight anything to get through, I found the entire upper body of an X-01 earlier
