Fallout 4

Then your questions have been answered.

I'd imagine having no settlers at all would put your risk at attack at 0. After all, I don't really know how the game would react to no settlers, turrets, or even supplies for raiders to destory.

That reminds me that I need to go build up Starlight Diner as a settlement. My major problem is ALWAYS never having enough space and spending twenty mins spawning things like Fat Men and then scrapping them to make the bar drop lower. Incredibly annoying when I don't otherwise know how they expected us to build anything.

When I was playing on my PS 4 (this was a while back), there was only me and Dogmeat and a single Super Mutant spawned as an attack on my Red Rocket. I didn't get any pop up, unless that only works when far away from the settlement. I was just moving between Sanctuary and Red Rocket at the time.

I'd be perfectly happy with a large settlement, if it meant having my own personal army I could actually send to do stuff.

Oh when I am actually going to beat this game.

Nothing went wrong this time - played through Trinity Tower and kept dying because BLASTED KEYBOARD CONTROLS and me leaving mines in all of the wrong places, a lot of dumb, user-error deaths really.

I felt absolutely terrible bringing Piper up there to fight Super Mutants - and again I still can't picture the Sole Survivor fighting these thigns all willy nilly, but that's old hat at this point. I went up there without Power Armor (because screw walking and draining the core) and took most of them out.

But, I feel so unfulfilled. I turned my character into Negan from The Walking Dead, made "Lucille" with a chain-wrapped baseball bat, took Damage Resistance + 10 and that Melee/Baseball bat perk. It was fun for awhile. But still, a little boring.

So I went back and made Yoshikage Kira from Jojos Bizarre Adventure, because that just seemed too precious to ignore. 7 Intelligence, 3 Luck, 2 Strength, Medium Endurance, a 1 for Charisma, I forget what Agility and Perception were. To anyone unaware, Yoshikage Kira is a villain in the Jojo series, a serial killer with supernatural powers who likes to kill women and take their hands as trophies, and sometimes take them out on dates. The idea of him settling down and plotting to kill Nora made me chuckle. I made his chin sharp, his hair blond, his eyes blue, and his skin as smooth as I could trying to make him look like an anime character, and I messed around with his cheekbones to get the facial expression right.

Now I'm looking for a purple suit to wear and having no luck. I'm biding my time on the way to Diamond City until I can get all of the explosive perks and basically being a jerk to everyone I encounter. I shot Preston in the back with the laser musket and took maybe a 1/20th of his health away. Decided not to pursue that path and just followed everyone back to Sanctaury.

But being Kira I don't want to help anyone, or get involved with anyone. I just want to live a quiet life in peace. A life shattered by nuclear hellfire that plunged the world into two centuries of darkness.

Exceptionally hard to do when you don't have a Stand that makes things explode, and the entire surrounding region is trying to kill you. I'm hoping someone makes a mod that makes everything you punch explode so that this fantasy can be realized. The idea of Kira's ordinary life getting interrupted by the nuclear apocalypse is too funny to me.

I also got hit by my first radiation storm ever since I purchased the game and it was right in Sanctaury, shortly after leaving the Vault. Scared the piss out of me.

Still debating using the Bethesda mods now or waiting until the end. Holstered Weapons seems like a good place to start.

Since Tannin is now working with the Nexus team to make a more modern Nexus Mod Manager, I've had some time to gather my thoughts and hopes for what the new software will be like. Since a lot of Fallout 4 players mod their games, it seemed appropriate to talk about this here (at least, as far as my tired brain can reason).

(Some of these may be a bit silly).

• I wanted it to be named Nexus Mod Organizer (NMO) to indicate the bridge between the two programs.
• It should have NMM's game scanning to seek out the games I want to install mods on and MO's system of adding folders to keep data folders clean.
• MO's profile system to not only have separate saves, but different mods across characters and also named profiles.
• NMM's folder system to keep my mods organized when I need to find a mod in a specific category.
• That said, MO's way of organizing priority would also be good.
• Load Order Optimization Tool as part of the package.

That's all I can think of right now. There's probably more, nothing is coming to mind at the moment.

Personally, I'd have liked a more intuitive 'These mods are in conflict, how do I resolve the issue?' Option panel. At the moment, I can't quite tell exactly what the conflict is and which I want to go with. Particuarly since the panel options are basically a Mathmatitian's Answer.

So the Skyrim fancy edition seems to be a mess.

When do us PS 4 people get mods? Aren't we supposed to get them after it comes out?

Ps 4 Skyrim players have mods to use already. Fallout 4 mods have no set release date as of yet.

So I turned off my mods, aiming to finish off all the achievements. So I loaded my old Mad Mark save. I had forgotten how ridiculously tough he was, lol. Actually building a vault this time.

Vault is code for drug den in this case.

Partly, lol. Also part armory, part ammo factory, and part indoor farm to churn out tuns of vegetable starch.

And we've finally returned to the android hunt.

So fucking Nisha gave me a mission to put a shock collar on... a super mutant suicider. To my credit, and more proving that Mad Mark is the real deal as Red Eye would say, I did it. Dunno how I managed it, but I did.

So... what happened to Edna?

Wow, I thought you only get human targets for those radiant quests.

Hmm, figured they'd use the tanner skin for the ranger armor mod but I guess that would've been too on the nose. How I missed our lady of death and quips.

I love how these past two episodes have given the Storyteller people who don't get annoyed with his storytelling. I like this.

I liked everything about that episode.

And yeah, it's refreshing to see him deal with captive audiences for a change. The old annoyance was amusing for a while but it wore on me.

I've never seen a single storyteller vid, so I've got no clue or context for what that means.

Random pandering for suggestions: I have a board with the Furious effect, should I name it the "Board of Education" (after the one from FO 3) or should I name it "Board to Death"?

The series often has people just get annoyed by the Storyteller going on and on about the history of the wasteland.

I'm partial to remedial skull crushing.

@melon: The storyteller series has morphed around a lot since its inception. Originally it was just lore videos about fallout then they had the storyteller come in as a framing device and then they had a season with an actual plot featuring the storyteller and Major Tanner, NCR veteran ranger and all around arse kicker. It was pretty popular because the two played off each other well and the plot was fairly interesting. Then they were going to do the follow up season in f04 and all they had to due was wait for the mod tools which should be out a month or two after launch at most....

Yeah, people in-universe don't usually like the Storyteller very much. He's actually had to shoot people before because they just wanted to kill him.

It got annoying after a while because we fans actually love the vids.

Oh, in-universe. I thought it was a fandom outverse thing.
