Fallout 4

Are there any mods out there that remove the T-45 from the roof?

I want to play a power armor pilot playthrough, and start with a raider suit working my way up to the X-02 so that suits very existance ruins it.

Unless the raider overboss suit outstats it.

You could just not use it...

The problem with attacking 'Neutral' Settlements is that Preston and the Minute Men STILL will turn on you for doing so. You basically have to abandon the questline at that point.

Makes me consider if you can force F4 into an unwinable state if all the factions hate you?

It kind of annoys me that the game doesn't give you a sense of control over... Anything really. We're repeatedly told we're the leader of the Minutemen or the Raiders, but the other gangs send us around like we're THEIR underling and not the other way around.

I mean, I get that the dev said have to give us some quests to pad out the DLC and get us to interact with the other gangs, but could they not be arsed to give us quests that, Y'know, only the "Overboss" could do? It seems like they put very little thought into their world building here...

I could, but it will be there, taunting me.

If you don't want to be tempted, disassemble it and scrap the pieces. Having the empty frame isn't really an advantage when it's unarmored.

You cannot scrap Power Armor pieces.

You can sell them, but you can't do anything useful with them. Unless there's a mod where that's been fixed, of course.

Power Armor should have been scrapable.

I bet it was early in testing but some idiot put his fully upgraded X-01 suit through the shredder and started yelling about it.

You know, the same reason why stimpacks and other chems weigh something now.

Nope. Weightless in New Vegas:

Same for Radaway.

Stimpacks and Chems had weight in New Vegas as well I believe.

Hey,at least you can use the frames for barricades.

Just in case you guys didn't know yet, each Raider faction leader gives you a legendary weapon after the Nuka World storyline is over IF they're loyal to you.

The Pack gives you a Furious Rocket Bat, and The Operators give you a Relentless Suppressed Scoped Operators Handmade Rifle. Don't know what the Disciples give because I killed them.

I'm not sure if this was already mentionned on this thread.

If not, I'm sorry to break the news, but it seems ps4 users won't be getting mods for Fallout 4 after all.

Not surprised to be honest, but it's still a sad situation.

Aw man, that stinks. I bet a lot of Playstation players are jealous of Xbox players right now.

What's up with Sony lately? Not allowing mods in Fallout 4, increasing the PS Plus price for everyone except Europe...?

The fallout is about what I expected from the news.

I am going to be honest, I have doubts the blame falls on sony here.

Betsheda has NEVER coded well for Playstation, and one of the earlier posts mentioned that they couldn't get custom audio to work.... as well as having less overhead to work with on the more powerfull console, that only has a 2gb OS footprint instead of 4gb....

My bet is they never could get it to work, and with additional issues due to there bad playstation coding, just scrubed it.

I'm not an expert on this subject, but my understanding was that this was an issue that was mostly relegated to the PS 3/X360 era, no?

PS 3's Cell microprocessor was apparently particularly ill-suited to run games in Bethesda's engines. But currently the PS 4 and X Bone share the same microarchitecture, no?

Shouldn't this have mitigated the problem? Or is there another reason why Bethesda would have issues coding for sony products?

Either way, I'm willing to take their word for it on this one. I was able to play it for a bit on my brother's ps4 and the stability and quality of the game has greatly improved compared to past Bethesda titles. Plus, they've proven that they can get it to work on X Box One.

No, it is still highly present in the new generation as well, once agian the game operates with less overhead on a system with 150% more room for overhead (6gb of free ram vs 4gb), and still has memory leaks pressent.

It is not as bad as last gen no, but it is still there.

The Xbox is a special case in that it is literaly windows 10 with low level access removed, absolutely no special coding is needed to get non-script mods to work, you just need premision from Microsoft.

Sony however uses a Custom OS, so even if the architecture is the same, it is like porting a Windows Game to OSX, both of which ALSO share the same Archetecture.

This is a classic Todd Howard thing. Deception is the wind beneath this man's wang. If he wasn't sure, categorically and one hundred percent sure, that Sony would approve mods, he should have kept his and his minions' mouths shut about the issue.

It doesn't surprise me that this happened - Bethesda has always had a shaky relationship with Sony ever since Fallout 3.

And the shit has already started to hit the fan.

Got it. Thank you for the explanation!

Oh god, my sides

I've never heard that expression before.

On a different note, I hate how this news has allowed one of the most annoying subgroup of gamers to start yelling again.

I'm talking about console fanboys of course. Comments sections across the web have errupted into juvenile arguments about wich console manufacturer is the best and how they had long predicted the downfall of Sony.

Every passing day makes me realize how happy I am now that I've cut myself off of most social media.

Much as I laugh clutching my DD-214 blanket when reading about the fuckery still going on in the Army... (laughs clutching my console mod blanket)

Like I said, the fallout of this news was predictable.

Tam: Give it a rest for fucks sake the wonkery is tiring. The man didn't lie they tried to bring it to Playstation and shit fell through. Welcome to real world where shit happens.

That sucks for the Playstation crew sorry guys.
