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

Preston with heavy shadowed combat armor looks pretty baller. I don't even really want to give him power armor

[Ad Bot]

[Mrmii21]

Daaamn that's sick
I bet you could do that with your own char
Just get a Minutemen hat and Suit and wear the armor over it and you'd be set

[Regulith]

Okay now I'm ACTUALLY mad about the Power Armor paint thing

I spent over 9,000 caps (not even joking) on Atom Cats paint and it only works on T-60s, what the forget is up with all these paint jobs that only work on the second-best armor?

The X-01 gets what, Institute paint (which requires completing the game so what's even the point) and coatings that give you some negligible bonus resistances? I'm upset

... how do I get this french robot
I go to vault 81 and theres literally nothing left for me to do

You have to talk to the little girl at the end of the tour and do the quest to get her cat back, when you return her father mentions that the kid that gave you the tour is sick, should be straightforward from there

There are reports of things not working right (surprise surprise) so if it didn't go smoothly you might have to look up a way to bypass stuff

[Spartan923]

Well stuff, I did the cat quest, but I never got a tour because the little stuff ran up to me and tried talking to my back while I was walking away

[CypherX]

good suggestion. not as nice but close. prestons shoulders are just a little narrower and it looks better

[Regulith]

Well stuff, I did the cat quest, but I never got a tour because the little stuff ran up to me and tried talking to my back while I was walking away

Justice

Some things to try:
- Help some of the other Vault dwellers with their little tasks, leave the Vault for 24 hours and come back
- Complete the "Confidence Man" quest and wait for Travis to mention Vault 81 on Diamond City Radio
- Find the starting parameter for the "Hole in the Wall" quest and use it with the "setstage" console command

[Darryl McKoy]

I saw that cat run out of the vault so I chased and then killed it, can I still get the quest?

[Bushido]

i had the same 'i solved the quest too fast' problem. just leave, do some stuff then come back

also so bear with me here: it's already been established that curie's mind is portable and was readily transmitted between her original body and a synth's

suppose we were to take curie and put her in, say, a deathclaw

like we know for a fact that deathclaws are sapient and capable of complex tasks like talking and maintaining a forgetin vault (on some level) so it stands to reason they are at least capable of science, and maybe it might be necessary to note that it would be a synth deathclaw but that still comes with the fact that synth brahmin exist. the real question is would the world benefit from a 12-foot-tall scientist who can turn invisible and punch through a foot of metal armor with her bare hands

[Ceist]

the world would greatly benefit from her just being a human.

so you can forget her.

[Rally]

I have 110 fusion cores.

150 :^)

[Ceist]

150 :^)

what is it, a competition now?

[Satan From Wreck-It-Ralph]

the world would greatly benefit from her just being a human.

so you can forget her.

nobody said synths weren't conceived as lovebots

[Zloff]

t-60 helmet + x-01 everything else

[comr4de]

the t51 is just not bulky enough for me

the t60 in that respect is cool but it's just bigger tougher t45 and doesnt really have much identity

id really like to see more post-war designs. like, not anything official like the enclave's armor but maybe something geared as essentially a large environmental suit, or something designed to be a construction vehicle, and they're all made out of stuff metal stamped into crude but effective shapes and they all have weird stuff going on like the construction suit makes you stupidly powerful in melee and the environmental suit gives you a lot of resistance to energy and poison but next to none versus ballistic projectiles

A bit late to the game but I find it difficult to believe that the BoS hasn't figured out how to make their own power armor at this point. Like, they dunked the Enclave, occupied the loving pentagon, and now have an implied fleet of airships, but they can't figure out power armor? Beth pls

[HULKHOGANWWFWORLDCHAMPION]

anyone know any tips for upgrading power armor? do I even need to at level 18?
