@GnomeSlice should there be some text or something?

GnomeSlice

No, click on it.

It's a community ad.

Just an image.

Get it voted to +6 and it will start showing up on the frontpage.

GodEmperorDune

yeah but i mean why are we promoting it?

i know how the community ads work

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune Because it's @Sterno's kid.

@GodEmperorDune Because it's the shit

@GodEmperorDune I don't know how it started but that's how people here refer to Sterno's kid.

Helpful Fallout tip if you're in a firefight.

I think I'm going to spend some more time settlement building today. Did a fair amount of story yesterday.

Mad Scientist

I just noticed how powerful the damage mods you get with the Gun Nut I perk are. I only noticed the basic ones before, which were rather underwhelming

Yuuki

17:08

I love that you can name your equipment. I can't wait to get my hands on a Junk Jet and call it "The Loose Cannon".

Right now, my slightly modded Combat Rifle is named "Vera".

two bugs

You're a loose cannon cop, @Yuuki!

Yuuki

Also, the combat shotgun is extremely OP if you manage to get it before Level 5.

I found mine in a random shotgun trap.

Q: How many pieces of armor and clothing can you wear?

I was a bit surprised just now when I loaded my game again and went into third person view by accident that my character seemed to be only wearing underwear with a few pieces of armor on top. It turns out that I was mistaken and that you can wear individual armor pieces on top of your actual clot...

Q: Can you share items between workshops?

I swear I read an ingame hint that said Workshops would share my stuff between them, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I have a settlement at Sanctuary and Red Rocket Truck Stop, but I can't access my items I added in Sanctuary at RRTS. Am I mistaken in remembering that you could do this, or ...

It was always pretty OP in my 3/New Vegas experience

Yuuki

@twobugs But it's even moreso since you get it so early.

two bugs

17:10

Hm, true enough. I can't wait to really dig in to FO4 tonight.

Yuuki

Just the fact that it's a 12-round magazine/clip instead of the two round double-barrel is incredible in and of itself.

two bugs

Had only about an hour to play last night :(

Unionhawk

@AshleyNunn initial investigation seems to lead to the robot

Yuuki

"Speak Softly" is so great for tight quarters like going into abandoned buildings.

Frank

Now. Work on my current kit, or play Tales of Vesperia?

Yuuki

17:12

@Frank Which one's your current kit?

Frank

@Yuuki Picture, or just a name?

Yuuki

Picture would probably be best, but I can google a name.

kalina

@Yuuki communications towers

Mad Scientist

@Yuuki Is that different from the regular shotgun (which is already much more powerful than the simple pistols you have at the beginning)

Frank

That one.

I don't know your daughter's name so I'm naming her SkyDrift because I love that game so much.

BAM

Yuuki

@MadScientist IIRC, your first shotgun is the double-barrel which only fires two shells before needing a reload.

two bugs

Combat Shotgun has a drum magazine. Because, you know, why not?

Mad Scientist

@Yuuki That's the one I have right now, just modded to 93 damage as of now

Though that might count the rifle perk, not sure

kalina

best gun I found so far is the night-vision advanced assault rifle

which is just rediculous

Yuuki

@kalina I haven't even found a base assault rifle yet.

kalina

17:14

and of course the recoil compensated boosted fiery laser rifle

which sets fire to things while going pew

two bugs

@kalina But is it ridiculous?

Yuuki

I did modify my pipe rifle to have a night vision scope though.

Unionhawk

@Yuuki and its kind of underwhelming for a double barrel shotgun

kalina

@twobugs I care about people who correct my spelling less than I care about my spelling

Yuuki

@MadScientist I prefer the combat shotgun even if it might do less damage because of the larger magazine/clip.

two bugs

17:15

Look, I think I deserve to be set fire to. It's a rite of passage on The Bridge and I haven't had my chance yet.

Yuuki

> rite*

Mad Scientist

@Yuuki Haven't found that one yet

Unionhawk

Don't do it it's a trap

kalina

@twobugs since that's how you feel about it, there's absolutely no chance of it happening

Yuuki

Huh. Apparently Dogmeat can equip bandannas and collars.

two bugs

17:17

:(

Fine, I'll just continue my life as a non-immolated Bridge user

kalina

I thought the start of Fallout 4 was properly depressing, and very abrupt

Unionhawk

Yes

two bugs

Yeah, they just kind of throw you into things. Bethesda did a good job with it.

Unionhawk

Suddenly, everything is going to shit

All at the same time

Yuuki

"how many times can we kick the player in the teeth before we actually give them a gun"

here, have some nukes

oh and your significant other can have a bullet

two bugs

And they take babby

kalina

and then you have codsworth gibbering on for 15 minutes once you do get to start the game

MadMAxJr

BUT YOU CANT GET NUCLEAR FALLOUT OFF OF TILE FLOORS KALINA! It's important to him.

#robotworldproblems

Yuuki

Apparently, you can get your humanoid companions to wear power armor.

And they don't drain the fusion core.

kalina

the only thing I find missing in Fallout 4 is copper

I've spent more time searching for copper than I have playing the story missions

Yuuki

17:21

Copper for buildings and adhesives for equipment.

MadMAxJr

Get the perk to extract more rare materials. I get copper out of lightbulbs.

kalina

no I've got loads of adhesive

Yuuki

Those two seem to be the limiting factor ingredients.

kalina

wonderglue and duct tape all the things

Yuuki

I always run out of adhesives first before I run out of any other materials for equipment modding.

Apparently, you don't lose materials when you use the unscrapped item in crafting.

MadMAxJr

17:24

I saw a drum of Mr.Handy fuel. I hope Wadsworth doesn't need regular supply of that.

Yuuki

The unused components just go into some kind weird limbo until a change is made to the workshop inventory.

kalina

@MadMAxJr not that I've experienced

Yuuki

@MadMAxJr Nah, you can scrap it for oil and stuff.

two bugs

@Yuuki wat

That's very... Bethesda

kalina

oh yeah there's plenty of bugs

SaintWacko

17:26

@Yuuki Ah, good to know

kalina

and it's obviously just reskinned TESV

MadMAxJr

It's the Creation Engine alright. It's got a few enhancements past the Skyrim point. But there's a fair bit of re-use.

SaintWacko

I'm enjoying it so far

Q: What does a Scavenging Station do and how do I use it?

I'm at a loss here. I've built a Scavenging station and I assigned one of my settlers to it. I can't seem to harvest anything from it, use it in any way or see the benefit of having one. What is the purpose of this thing?

fallout-4

Unionhawk

Yeah, even if it is reskin TESV, I enjoyed skyrim and I'm enjoying this. So, whatever.

Yuuki

17:28

@SaintWacko Just remember to drop something and scrap it to move all your limbo components to your actual workshop.

SaintWacko

@Yuuki drop something and scrap it? What do you mean?

kalina

the only thing that has been out of place to me so far is when you first meet Trader Rylee

who is in a vault suit from vault 81

and as the first person I've seen in game wearing a vault suit other than myself

you'd think there would be a conversation option to go with it

MadMAxJr

@SaintWacko Drop stuff in a settlement, go into workshop mode, scrap the item.

kalina

and there isn't

MadMAxJr

This breaks it down into raw materials, and there's an easy 'store all junk' button on the workbenches.

Yuuki

17:29

@SaintWacko When you craft stuff in the workshop, you can use items instead of raw components. If you do that, the remaining components go into a limbo inventory.

The components in the limbo inventory aren't added to your workshop inventory unless you manually scrap something.

SaintWacko

Ah, alright, good to know

MadMAxJr

Items in workbench inventory are usable throughout that settlement.

SaintWacko

I've only just gotten that laser rifle thing, so I haven't looked into these systems much

MadMAxJr

To share between settlements, you need the perk that lets you setup supply lines.. Boooooo.

SaintWacko

@MadMAxJr But only in that settlement?

Oh

MadMAxJr

17:30

Ah, the LASER MUSKET.

SaintWacko

Yes, that thing

Yuuki

@MadMAxJr I have the three-crank mod on it and it's great.

SaintWacko

I'm not very far in yet

MadMAxJr

I'm quietly hoping 'That Gun' is out there in the wasteland.

SaintWacko

But I'm enjoying it

Yuuki

17:31

@MadMAxJr If not, you could always make it yourself.

MadMAxJr

My 10mm is pretty beastly so far, but Fallout has had a soft spot for the gun from Bladerunner. :P

SaintWacko

Yeah, I really like the mods system

I'm afraid I'm going to put most of my perks points into it

MadMAxJr

Don't settle for the gun you have. Settle for the gun it could be tomorrow!

kalina

that 'r3tr0 t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m' guy is retrosaur right?

MadMAxJr

Yes.

kalina

17:35

I'm wondering if he's even played because all of his questions regarding Fallout 4 are things covered in the game

(like Shaun missing)

two bugs

@kalina That's true for everything he asks for every game

Or at least all of his recent stuff

Unionhawk

I mean, a man asking about the ending on release day is already suspicious to me

two bugs

Questions for MGSV and Halo 5 were almost verbatim and, surprise surprise, were just as easily answered in game

kalina

well how Shaun is older than his mom is covered in literally the intro sequence

two bugs

I maintain this is exactly the same as saying "Wow, I just read all the Harry Potter books. One thing confused me though... so Harry is a wizard?"

kalina

17:37

and as for "where to find Fusion Cores", there's an allay way onto an island covered in security bots that always drop 2

MadMAxJr

I assume it's just rep farming.

Unionhawk

Ooo

Duly noted

kalina

I haven't even bothered with the power armor really

it was too much messing about

almost like it's a feature designed to slow down your progression through the game

Unionhawk

Me neither so far, but I've gotten blown up a lot, so.

two bugs

@MadMAxJr I think the ending stuff was trolling. I mean, his ending question mentions several things that happen outside of the spoiler tags

MadMAxJr

17:38

I was caught off guard. Ron Perlman doesn't narrate the intro. But he is the TV news reporter that reports the bomb drops.

Unionhawk

@twobugs BECAUSE PEOPLE HATE SPOILER TAGS

kalina

@Unionhawk well it also doesn't suit my playstyle at all

Unionhawk

CC @FRANK

kalina

stealth doesn't work in a massive power armor suit that makes the earth shake

Unionhawk

This is true

MadMAxJr

17:39

You could stealth in power armor in 1 and 2. You just needed your friend stealth boy.

two bugs

I mean it was more: "spoilerSephiroth stabs Aeris/spoiler but why did Sephiroth stab Aeris?"

kalina

the worst of it is

the dog sounds exactly like a group of molerats running after you

so I'm forever going ZOMG NOOOO oh it's you

two bugs

I accidentally told Dogmeat to stay once and he just stood there as numerous enemies attacked him. He was very stoic.

MadMAxJr

I get the prompt 'Dogmeat found something' and then spin around and I can't see the dang dog.

two bugs

Dogmeat should be able to interface with your Pip Boy, like DD could in MGSV

MadMAxJr

17:41

I saw a doghouse in Sanctuary. Will Dogmeat settle in a doghouse if one is provided?

kalina

not that I've seen

although he does wander off when I'm in one of my settlements

usually to sit next to the food

MadMAxJr

I'm happy with him. Fairly accurate dog. Wanders around in a large circle around you at all times.

He'll play aggressively with a teddy bear if given one.

SaintWacko

I'm not sure if this was scripted or just something he does, but when I first saw him, I was inside a Red Rocket and he came up outside and put his paws on the windowsill

kalina

he was playing with a toy bear a minute ago

SaintWacko

17:45

At least, I assume that's Dogmeat?

kalina

while I was getting shot

-.-

SaintWacko

Doesn't seem to have a name yet

MadMAxJr

He does that occasionally. I came by and he had his forepaws up in one of the loops of the gas overhead support strut, looking at me through the hole.

kalina

in other news I just approached the minutemen hideout and launched a fat man, killing all of the people on my side but leaving all of the enemies they were fighting alive

> Password must be between 6 and 10 characters, contain at least 1 letter and 1 number, and cannot contain special characters.

No, your password policies need updating

Unionhawk

That's a small set of brute force

MadMAxJr

Password maximums are dumb

Unionhawk

Especially at 10

MBraedley

It makes me worried that they're not storing the password securely.

Or rather, that they're actually storing the password instead of a hash.

kalina

what the... Sanctuary now has 16 people in it

MadMAxJr

10 plus one per charisma point is the limit.

Unionhawk

So 20 is an upper bound then /didthemath

MadMAxJr

Well there are ways to break past the 10 point stat ceiling, so possibly more.

kalina

18:02

interesting, I just went to sanctuary and it only has 10 people

and now the map shows 10 as well

in fairness I was standing there shooting and she ran in front of me

Dallium

can you make your settlers scream 'Mediocre!' as the turrets gun attackers down?

There's a perk that lets you shoot them without retaliation.
