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

[Harm94]

I have a few questions about the collectors edition, (which I NEED)
-will it have a digital download? like a code for steam, 'cause I have no disk drive on my PC, so I can't use a disk.
-when can I preorder it? I have a few paychecks until I have 120$, so will I be able to preorder in the future?
I really can't wait. No other games sate my thirst- see you guys in 5 months

Well you don't have to immediately install your purchases. Your games will be in the cloud until they are ready to be moved into your computer..

Your forgeted, you have no chance of getting the CE for $120. Everyone is out of stock
You may have a chance to get one http://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/3ael8m/those_who_missed_out_on_the_pip_boy_edition/

All American retailers are sold out iirc

Has Bethesda stocked it on their website yet?

Just went back to play New Vegas. I hope they remove the early game ability to one shot kill people while sneaking.

just get a Lead Pipe (usually from the Goodsprings Gas Station) and dump a few points in Melee Weapons and you can pretty much kill the majority of NPCs as long as you're hidden.

there's even a guaranteed Stealth Boy in the schoolhouse so rip Goodsprings lol

I don't want the combat to be that easy...

[ZombiLoin]

they still haven't removed the handicapped bullet sponge enemies

[Foxscotch]

lol what job do you have where $120 takes a few paychecks to get?

well even if that's not what he meant, the kind of paychecks that adults who have to pay bills get

the stealth mechanic has stayed broken for a long time. in Skyrim i managed to stay hidden in a corner from 4 bandits looking at me when my Sneak was at 17 and i was carrying a heavy as forget iron shield.

i'd pray for improvements, but i honestly don't see it coming anytime soon.

Unrelated:

Praise Todd and Pete, the true gods of gaming.

The fools, they should be praising Brian Fargo and Chris Avellone for coming up with Fallout in the first place. Back in the early 90s Interplay wanted to make a sequel to their Wasteland game, but EA had the rights to it and refused to sell it. So EA went off to go make Fountain of Dreams which sucked and Interplay decided to make a spiritual successor to Wasteland which was Fallout.

Those guys are like the founding fathers of cRPGs.

Bethesda needs to reintroduce the old Damage Threshold mechanic which allowed armor to eliminate damage completely rather than rely mainly on the Damage Resistance mechanic which only reduces damage rather than eliminate it. In addition to that they should focus on improving the AI so that mobs will take cover more often or try to flank you or sneak up on rather than shootout from the open or just charge at you.

This would be more interesting than just dumping bullets into a guy with a very high DR.

yeah i hated Enclave Soldiers in 3 just because they have the type of power armor that sends their damage resistance to the loving stars. i just use a Missile Launcher because i don't want to waste ammunition or weapon condition fending off the bastards.

love the damage threshold mechanic in New Vegas but it really doesn't matter for some weapons like the Minigun because 5mm rounds reduce target DT by 5 points so you can just go balls to the walls nuts with that.

EDIT: because the Grunt perk is a thing thanks to the Honest Hearts expansion the Assault Carbine can generally be better if you get the extended magazine mod for it.

[Harm94]

Another thing to that would be interesting is having the enemies be more engaging in vats. Like you take your shots first, then your enemy gets to do a counter attack on you in vats.

[ZombiLoin]

You should be able to enter bullet time instead of VATS if you want to play it that way. Makes sense, right? It would give players who don't use Action Points a reason to get those perks and use Jet.

[Dreams_Of_Cheese]

bullet time is a great mod in FVN and FO3, so it definitely works. imo its more fun than vats
