RE: Doom Guy and PTSD... Maybe he *does* have it, and he's just approaching it in a different way than others. Whereas other people might show depression, paranoia, stuff like that, he instead embraced the madness and took on a "f*** the world" attitude, which most would recognize as an unhealthy view in a normal person, but really helps when you're walking around punching Hell in the face.

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

I really want to get more into making my own games of late, I keep moaning about the stuff id like to see so I feel I should stop moaning about it and try and learn.

[Psychosplodge]

Was feeling sorry for myself post dentist last night so had an other couple of easy hours on gamedevtycoon, before going back on fallout 4.

I became bethasda alternate releasing "mature" fantasy and post apocalyptic games either rpg or action/adventure. averaging 8-10s. One made me about £200m. Most got £50m-£100m Also appear to be the most popular booth every year :D

Gott I checked my machine gun turrets. Ones a mk5 the others a mk7. Moved them and put missile turrets in their place :D

Then went doing the arcadia quest and had to give up on the last puzzle cause brain wasn't having it. I'll get it tonight.

[Erik Setzer]

Then went doing the arcadia quest and had to give up on the last puzzle cause brain wasn't having it. I'll get it tonight.

The last one's a PITA. Basically you have to travel to different areas, and remember to pick up your blocks as you go (especially when you're done with one spot and backtrack to others). That puzzle made me hate life and all living things for a few hours afterward. Apparently the reward's worth it. I'll have to go see. Got distracted with Overwatch the last couple days.

[Psychosplodge]

Oh I'll get it. I was post filling feeling sorry for myself. Still at least the hole in my tooth is gone :D

I am playing Hard Reset Redux, made by the people who did Shadow Warrior, so very similar. just with robots instead of daemons. quite nice comic book sequences before each mission.

Lol @ those bingo cards, I wish Nintendo would make a new 2D metroid game again already.

[Kirsten]

well Nintendo are apparently only bringing Zelda to play, so I think that bingo card is much too big :P

Xbox One dashboard update, yes please. the current one is a total mess. how the hell did they take the excellent 360 one that was clean and clearly laid out, and spoil it so utterly? same for their webstore, absolutely awful piece of ****. how do you get a webstore wrong in 2016? it shouldn't even be possible any more.

The webstore pisses me off. I can't figure out how to sort anything, or find older games I might be interested in.

It's probably not a surprise my XBox One's catalog of games is currently Madden 16 (which I bought it to be able to play a non-screwed-up version of... thanks, EA), Halo Master Chief collection (friend pushed me to get it so we could split-screen the campaign), Disney Infinity (sadly canceled, so I better get those Star Wars figures ASAP), and a bunch of free games from EA Vault or Games with Gold, and backward-compatible games from my 360's collection.

Plus, y'know, PC is just better.

[Kirsten]

you can sort by release date, it just includes stuff that hasn't been released yet in that. so if you want to see what has been released this week you have to go to page three or four and take a guess.

Nice! Now to catch up with the DLC we already have.

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

Must say, I am dissapointed* - it might be a good game to be fair, but not what I personally want from a new Quake. I badly want to play a remake of the original. I did not like any of the sequels but the original is my fave game of all time and the reason I got into both HP Lovecraft and turned me into an industrial music fanatic!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sa-6fQyNkZo

* the music is f**king cool though

I hope they will eventually do a new single player game. I want to see a remake based on the new Doom engine with the Lovecraftian elements turned up to 11. There have been some good mods for the original that upped the lovecraft stuff such as the Quoth mod (which even added my fave lovecraft aliens, the flying polyps among others) but that just makes me want a remake with those elements even more. I don't think I've even ever see any other lovecraft FPS, the closest I guess is "Dark corners of the earth" but that is really more of a survival horror than a proper FPS.

ID if you ever read this and you make a more lovecraftian quake game, ill do the soundtrack for free :P

EA are also doing Star Wars Battlefront : X-Wing.

[Erik Setzer]

Bleh. First of all, calling it "Star Wars: Battlefront: X-Wing?" Freaking mouthful. And on the PS VR? Nah. It'll probably be the uber-stripped-down controls for BF, and mostly a gimmick game.

Let someone other than EA develop SW games, and give us a real successor to X-Wing. I'm going to get real sick of Disney if they keep letting EA turn beloved Star Wars game franchises into stripped-down nothing.

[Mr Mystery]

I'm still left wondering if SW:BF was meant as a sort-of paid for test bed.

I totally agree the Starfighters (main reason I bought the game, also being starved of X-Wing action) was truly woeful, and poorly executed (STARS. THE CLUE IS IN THE NAME).....but given that disappointment can be spun into 'but now we've done it right, arfle arfle BUY OUR STUFFS, which I totes wouldn't put past EA....

I've pre-ordered the headset. If it turns out to be a gimmick, it turns out to be a gimmick. Won't know until I've tried, and I can still sell it on if I winds up largely 'meh'

If nothing else, it'll provide good YouTube and Twitch fodder.

I don't think I'll run too many experiments on people, but building a Vault could still be fun.

I have to say, though, the first two DLC sound like they're taking some folks' mods and turning them into official DLC that's fleshed out and works 100% (because it's being made by Bethesda, not some gamer sitting at home trying to figure out how to make sure something works right). Not that I terribly mind, but it does just seem a bit odd.

[Psychosplodge]

I do want the craftable armour racks that work. What's the point of Fancy armour sets if you can't display them? Plus then I can go hunting for parts to display just for the lolz.
The lift will be intersting for multi story buildings.

[Erik Setzer]

Yeah, it'll be nice to have this stuff actually work pretty seamlessly in the game. Then I can have my really nice looking shops for armor, weapons, stuff like that.

[Erik Setzer]

But if the sims has taught us anything its the people are complete and utter *******s to computer people in their charge. What will people do to vault dwellers when given the actual tools to be an utter *******?

Just saw a wonderful illustration of this point. Someone asked on the Sims reddit about quickest Sim death, and gave his own story. To make it short: He opted to create a homeless old bum and set up a lot to mimic an abandoned playground; Sims come over to welcome him to the neighborhood; he opts to have the old bum hit on the attractive young blonde and keeps building "Romance" until he gets the option to "Try For Baby in Bush" (the same bush he was using as a toilet), then opted to "Try for Baby in Tent," and apparently that was too much for the old man and he croaked, leaving an impregnated young woman covered in filth.

I can't help thinking as I read the story, "Buddy, this kind of stuff, even in a video game, is what gets you on 'special lists.'"

[Mr Mystery]

No, according to Viz, it's an Abba-cuss, declared by the four members of Abba in yet another disappointing and mis-leading prize for young Gilbert Ratchett.

[Psychosplodge]

Is an Abba-cuss like a Razzlestack but with more variety?

[Erik Setzer]

File under things that sound horrible out of context but are perfectly acceptable in a video game:

"I locked a man in a room with glass walls and watched until he died."

Actual context: Playing Sims 4 and opting for an Evil person, I went with an aspiration called "Public Menace" or something like that. Along with progressing in the Criminal career and stuff like that, it requires you to witness the death of someone else. Well, I wasn't about to wait my whole life for that. I had a couple of people who'd pissed off my Sim upon arriving in town, so I targeted one of them first (funny enough, he was the husband of someone who was quite friendly toward my Sim) and locked him in a bathroom in the museum, after breaking the sink and toilet. Apparently you need space to die, so after three in-game days when I let him out from frustration, he made a beeline to the side of the street and died, before I could get to him. Meh. So then I targeted another guy who looked like a roided-up douchebag and had laughed once too often while stopping my Sim from slapping the crap out of him. Invited him over to my Sim's place, talked him up, asked him to check out this nice clear room... then left it and locked it. Took a few days but he finally keeled over for good. The Grim Reaper showed up, I chatted him up and made a friend with Death itself, and that was it. Aspiration achieved!

The Sim is also Mean and a Kleptomaniac, who apparently carried a large Bag of Holding and/or Pym particles, because so far she's* stolen multiple liquor cabinets from bars, two DJ booths, a set of knight armor, two large televisions, a couch, multiple loveseats and benches, various plants, an entire floor's worth of art from a museum, and plenty of chairs, plus a couple of computers (well, four, but she sold two for some nice cash). Virtually the entire house is stocked with stolen items, and the highlight was when a friend (and coworker) came over to visit and sat down and started using a computer taken from her home.

Bonus Evil points: Widow of the first "victim" invited my Sim over. Chatted her up, became very good friends, stayed the night, all that goodness... and every time I wasn't watching, my Sim would nab something (the couch she'd just been sitting in, the TV, and something else). I felt a slight bit of guilt when I saw a kid's room, but they didn't have kids, and she wasn't pregnant, so I'm not sure what that was about.

(Also, kudos to ol' Grim for, during the chat, saying, "I've been awful busy lately, all these new pools are drowning me in paperwork.")



*I play male and female Sims both. And a variety of sexual orientations (respectfully!). It allows for more stories to tell. And most of the time they're good people! It just felt like fun to play someone evil for a change, and a lady mob boss just sounded cool.

[Psychosplodge]

I found my first none quest wild fog crawler last night. Blew its legs off and killed it at leisure.

Pretty much finished farharbour, think there's a synth sidequest and a giant fogcrawler to hunt down. Went back to the commonwealth to do some upkeep with the newer items.
Built some nice barn accommodation at three farms, individual bedrooms for all, lot less space than the shacks I was using before. Then threw up some beacons, see if I can fill them with settlers.

[Mr Mystery]

Is an Abba-cuss like a Razzlestack but with more variety?

Nope. It's the four members of ABBA swearing in union, when of course Gilbert was hoping to win an Abacus. For some reason.

Still not as bad as prize of a Cordless Screwdriver and Bag of Nails. Turned out to be a trouserless robotic driver for a prison guard, and Jimmy Nail's scrote.

Or the Public Toilet he was hoping for, when he won a rented cuddly toy licking a divebar.

[Erik Setzer]

individual bedrooms for all,

I really need to do that when I get back to my settlements. Right now it's pretty much barracks-style, with any space large enough dedicated to lining up rows of beds for people to sleep in.

If I want to get really "cute" and micro-managing, I might rework some buildings so that people sleep where they work. I.e. shops have rooms above them and the merchants are assigned to them; farm is located close to farmers' sleeping quarters; etc.

[Psychosplodge]

I'll probably do that on my next playthrough with some of the better shop mods installed.

[eldargal]

I finally got around to finishing my first FO4 playthrough last night, forgot most of what I'd done. Started a new one, just started the Minuteman quests, having fun shooting peeps and building things.

I'd wait till next week though when the steam summer sale is due anytime now

[Aegwymourn]

The part you quoted is what has me worried. Since it only lists the specific DLC. I mean sure it is cheaper than just buying those individually. I just don't really like purchased DLC. Although Blood and Wine for Witcher 3 is probably one of the few that has really impressed me. Totally worth it IMO.

[Aegwymourn]

Update. Bought the season pass and it only includes the three pieces it specifically talks about. Messaged steam and asked for a refund. The three pieces it does come with are cheaper to buy separately....

[Gotthammer]

Only comes with three as only three are out. Others coming out end of this month, and then July and August. Season pass is for all six

[Aegwymourn]

Dunno. Normally with the pre-purchase doesn't it still show up as purchased though? (its been a while) When I clicked on them they acted like they were not part of my account or that I would have access to them. Eh, not a huge deal either way.

[Psychosplodge]

They've barely been announced its probably just down to that. I expect to get them with my existing season pass.

Yeah, that's what's going on with it. The description was written at the time they only had three items to announce. They did say there'd be more, which has recently been announced, and that's why they bumped the price up.

The season pass might be on sale during the Steam sale. Otherwise, one possible option is G2A, where you can get one for under $30:

https://www.g2a.com/fallout-4-season-pass-steam-cd-key-global-2.html

Just select someone with a high rating. I've gotten a few things through G2A and it's all been good. (Just avoid the "random Steam keys"... they're super-cheap for a reason. It's pretty much all cheap games you likely haven't heard of, most of which are meh.)

[Psychosplodge]

Played with the new stuff last night. Got all three of the new achievements.
Disappointed with the glass display cases - work like the skyrim ones so sooner or later whatever you put in it is going to vanish.
The weapon racks work quite nicely. Same for the armour. Power armour stand could have been lit better.
Lifts are fun to set up :eek: Did take advantage of one to scrap everything at hangmans ally and rebuild from scratch. Looks terrible but three times the floor space now.
Set up a factory operation at the marina. Disappointed in the available clothes from the loom. Wanted to build mechanics overalls, farmhand outfits and army fatigues. None are available options.
Also enjoying finally having a non-broken glass window to use in building. Some of my bed sheds now have wonderful views over the wasteland.

[eldargal]

I spent a long time and ridiculous amounts of concrete and steel building a factory at Red Rocket:
https://s32.postimg.org/6kx5dcvhx/redrocketfctory.jpg
Really happy with it, walled up the side entranced, turrets at the main entrance and some guard posts with armed bots patrolling. a staircase up to the main building protected by a curtain wall which also hides generators and a water pump. First storey has a robot crafting station, second living area for the two human inhabitants, Piper and Tina de Luca with bathroom, beds and furniture. Then three storeys of factory space, most of which is empty because I'm suffering from steel, copper and screw shortages and I don't have the perks to build the factories I want yet.

Bankrolling everything with ten large water purifiers at Sanctuary, plus a bunch of market stalls.

[Psychosplodge]

I got the third scrapper perk last night, and the amount of materials you recover from scrapping weapons dramatically shoots up compared to scrapper two.
I remade my red rocket bar into a large conservatory :D
Put in a 3 story 3x3 block with displays on the ground floor, beds on the first floor and the second floor is currently empty(someone needs to re texture the lifts for proper numbering)
Think I might build the teleporter thing on the second floor.

Luckily my steel,wood and glass supplies are still huge. Did run out of concrete though from levelling all these places for building. Still mostly using barn walls.

[eldargal]

Yup I need to put perks into that too, weapons are the easiest source of steel and screws. Clearing out a den of raiders or super mutants and getting 10 or so weapons usually nets about 80 steel with little effort with only one point in scrapper.
Post pics.:p I only just realised the barn set included glass windows which I would have used in my factory. Not sure if I can be bothered tearing the concrete windows out or hope someone makes a mod to add glass to them.

Concrete shipments are the way to go, cheap, abundant and much easier than hunting for bags of the stuff. Even better if you install the better shipments mod.

[Psychosplodge]

Think that's the warehouse set, the barn came with farharbour and has the clean intact wood walls.
Oh I know I went and got a couple from diamond city to continue. I find the clipping together of the barn walls better than the concrete ones so I'll probably have to go and remake the cinema for a second time. Without dropping power to the beta wave emitter, wouldn't want fluffy to go wild again.

I'll take some screenshots tonight. I might record some videos walking around at some point just to give a better idea.

Definitely going to have to grab some modded factorys at some point.

[Kirsten]

these posts make the building system seem far more attractive. maybe I will play it again at some point.

Just the added components make it much better than at release.
Looking at some of the building mods available adds even more choice, and better functionality.
My second game will be awesome :D

[Kirsten]

it wasn't exciting enough to finish a first play through, certainly wont be making a second :p

[Psychosplodge]

250 hours in and still haven't finished my first yet :D

[Kirsten]

good lord, madness :p

I probably played about 40

[Psychosplodge]

I've rebuilt sanctuary and starlight drive in twice.
Hangman's ally once.
Everywhere else just the initial build.

But now I'm trying to properly organise my settlements for various production.
Max out the farms. Max out the scavenging at the none farms. Surplus water wherever I can fit it.

[Kirsten]

definite madness

[Psychosplodge]

No madness was when I was chasing provisioners across the wasteland to dress them in the right outfit.

[Kirsten]

'come baaaaaack, you must wear these dungarees!'

[Psychosplodge]

Currently its some variation of military fatigues/greenshirtr&boots/gunner guard plus heaviest combat armour I had to hand setting the route up plus a yellow flight helmet.
Though obviously some of the early ones weren't set up like that so needed hats or odd bits of armour from not having full sets. Also initially they had combat rifles, then laser weaponry, and now I'm giving them gatling laser/miniguns when i get the chance.
Though the newest couple of routes have sentry bots with assaultron laser heads and heavy weapons.
Far harbour has a couple of robots, two dudes with as above, but the flight helmet replaced with a green hood/assault gas mask.

[Kirsten]

it was a staggering failure on the part of Bethesda not to tag every active NPC with an indication what they are doing. I hated trying to assign roles to people in busy settlements.

[Psychosplodge]

That's been patched. they now have a symbol on the build screen.

[Kirsten]

that is a bit better then

[Psychosplodge]

But yeah that's originally why I used to dress them. Road leathers and a hat for farmers when I started as easiest thing to find on a raider corpse :D

Now if only the loom produced farmhand clothes.

[eldargal]

There have been a very good little tweaks like that, you can also see which settlements a provisioner provisions under their name and when settlements are attacked a siren sounds rather than just a little pop up note.

Yeah love the rundown look to it, looks industrial as f**k

[Gotthammer]

Many thanks :)


Which shop mod are you using?

If you mean to give the shops "stuff", it's Immersive Vendors (http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10039/?).

Also the greenery comes from Regrowth Overhaul (http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/9656/?)

[Psychosplodge]

Yes that's exactly what I meant. :D
I was looking at that one and convenient stores (http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/5181/?) and better stores (http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/8621/?)

[Gotthammer]

Get all of them for variety? :p

I might try it for shiggles.

I like it, and like seeing a consistent sort of style through all your builds. And what did you use for the glass parts? Think I should give some of my settler sleep cubes some windows that aren't just holes in the wall...

I used the invisible furniture mod (http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/13343/?) - lets you place down markers to trigger animations like eating noodles or sweeping as seen above. Good for making things a bit more life like. Also can have even more people hammering away in sanctuary! :p

[Psychosplodge]

They're the half height non broken glass window under warehouse>walls They're from the new DLC. Before that most of these buildings would have had blank barn walls from farharbour dlc. And before that any building was done mostly with the metal side from wooden walls option.

This week has mostly been a wander round playing with the new parts.




And last but not least of places I visited last night, Sommerville place or whatever its called in the SW.

Also Thanks :D

I like the idea of giving the settlers their own space if possible, though still often end up with half of them in a "barracks" of some sort. I might start assigning guards to a communal block as they never actually seem to use their beds.
I tend to build the flat rows as a makeshift wall so I can funnel raiders etc.
When I redo sanctuary again I think I'll make a square of 4 rows with my guards given sleeping bags in the diner. Then put my stores in the central square that'll produce. My death match arena might have to go though.

Really nice stuff 'splodge. Share a similar design philosophy to me, I usually start with a barracks style set up just to get bums in bed, then work on expanding it to give more space to each settler. How is the new DLC for internal walls? Big frustration for me is the lack of snapping internal walls and doors.

Thanks.
The barn/warehouse stuff seems to snap to anyline on a floor piece even as part of a large floor if you persevere(before I was sticking windows in the L shaped prefab wall was a quick and easy way to do it but it still doable with walls). The windows have to be rotated to the correct facing or won't allow the next section to snap to it. Roof pieces are trickier and sometimes need temporary walls building and deleting to get the layout you want.

[eldargal]

I'll have to experiment with it more. I had a good build last night, but discovered my plans for a high rise factory at Red Rocket won't work out, factory bits really seem to need a lot of flat space.:( So its just a plain robot factory now.

Envisioning Hangmans as a kind of military checkpoint, going to shove everyone in uniforms at some point.

Also, a little test I did of concrete fortifications, really happy with how they came out especially the walkway which was tricky to make work:
https://s32.postimg.org/uvtmyk4md/forttest.jpg
Sanctuary will eventually be surrounded by walls like this, taller around the front and sides where enemies actually approach from.

[Gotthammer]

Like how the wall & walkway look. Also the trading post design is very good, I'm a fan ;)

Also I'm really liking the new light-up posters.

[Psychosplodge]

Nice market.
I've started using the picnic table in my bars cause the chairs are attached.
I'm really not getting on with Hangman's ally.
Next time round I'm going to add the better settlements mod which has the barricades like at the airport and steal your checkpoint idea.
That walkway looks tricky. Though If I set some of them up the concrete walls will probably fill the gaps better than the current scrap fences at sanctuary.

Light up posters? Not seen those

[eldargal]

The walls extend all the way back to past the second blue house to the right, then intermittently between houses until the furthest house on the right near the oak tree which is open bar for turrets and guard posts. I'm selling 300+ purified water a day with the second tier barter perk just to spend on concrete shipments. It is, as the kids say, ridiculous.

Th trading post will end up looking different to yours at some point.:p It was going to be a barracks, the stairway is to connect it to the battlements but I thought I'd better actually build the battlements first then worry about that so made it a market instead. The new posters are great.

[Erik Setzer]

I really want to play with all the new stuff, but I'm still trying to get through Far Harbor. Keep getting distracted, and then there's also my controller acting up (I think the wires are a bit damaged inside, might end up having to replace it soon). But then there's stuff like doing insane things in Sims, playing more Marvel Heroes (especially as it's got a "birthday" event going), Overwatch (ridiculously fun even for someone like me who isn't amazing at FPSs)... And now a Steam sale?!? I already have a desktop covered in games I need to play! But so many items in my wish list with savings...

I like how people are building their Sanctuary Hills setups, but I can't do that on my main build any more without scrapping the whole thing. I used various mods including one that, after you'd been with the Institute long enough, let you build stuff with Institute walls and all. So I scrapped all the homes and built some nice clean metal buildings for shops, workshop, bunkhouse, meeting house, bar, dance club (seriously), a brick school house (with the Coal Hill sign in front of it, of course), and even a small church with pews lined up facing a lectern, candles for lighting, and an upstairs living and "consultation" area. (Fun fact: Garvey and Piper are both religious, to some degree, and will sit and pray in those pews. Haven't noticed others, yet.)

I have another play-through where I'm trying out the Brotherhood, and that Sanctuary is more wooden buildings. It's a bit more spread out because I haven't got enough stuff to build things yet, but there's a diner/bar/general store, bunk house, private home, a building with separated shops (in their own rooms with doors for entry), and even a sheriff's office (complete with a couple of cells).

I feel like it's not really "brag-worthy" when seeing all of the stuff other people do, but given my tendency to get distracted, I think it's not bad.

Thanks, inside is fairly sparse, but then I'm thinking of it as a military style checkpoint so it suits it.:) Need to find more military fatigues for people.

I'll give it a try, though the reason I installed Fraps ages ago was because I wasn't happy with steam screenshots but maybe they have improved hehe.

[Gotthammer]

My Hangman's Alley currently has two people in it, both on supply runs so is even more sparse at the moment lol :p Kill more Gunners - get plenty there

Main entrance to Sanctuary has now been fortified:
https://s31.postimg.org/dbxc4movf/fortifications.jpg
You can see the beginnings of the barracks to the left, with the magic floating floor. Need to add some turrets and guard posts, going to see if I can fit two of the smaller ones up on the battlements so they will stand there and keep watch.

[Gotthammer]

Looking good :) The Settlement Keywords mod has a mat thing for guard posts you can use on the battlements if you can't get the others to fit.

[eldargal]

Oh good, I wondered about that, thought I'd try and check if I can get the actual ones to fit first heh.:)

[Kirsten]

I was having fun fortifying Sanctuary, then the attackers materialised inside the settlement, so I didn't bother any more

Trying out a new fortifications idea using foundations as extra thick walls with window walls as the battlement:
https://s31.postimg.org/7epvnlfez/bastion.jpg
Takes up more space and it would be quite time consuming replacing all the walls I've already built but it will make it much neater and faster than what I've currently got. I wish there was a solid half height metal or cement wall I could use as battlements, the walls don't look quite right. but maybe I'm being fussy.

they are all icky, and their plot lines are just knee jerk nonsense. 'we must destroy everyone not like us, because reasons'. or you could co-operate as you have no real reason to oppose one another... 'no, go kill all those others'

His personal quest or the main quest investigation? I thought there were at least three types of radiant quest, not so many individual quests I've found so if I'm missing something would be nice heh.

[Gotthammer]

Kill Kellogg, get his brain scanned, go to Virgil, kill the courser, go talk to Tinker Tom at the railroad who will analyse it, go back to Virgil, get the plans for the teleporter, give them to Sturges and follow from there & you will destroy the Institute with the Minutemen.

[Kirsten]

I am looking forward to these other two huge games Bethesda are going to do, will be nice to shake it up a bit. Skyrim was fun but Fallout 4 just felt too thin and soulless to me. a bit more variety of open world games would be awesome. some nice sci fi perhaps.

[eldargal]

I think it's my favourite out of the three Fallouts I've played, followed by FO3. I'd say the FO3 story was better, but the FO4 world is much better and more engaging, and the settlement stuff is great fun. I'd love a good scifi open world game though.

[Kirsten]

see I found the world to be empty and totally unengaging. you couldn't interact any way other than shooting, it didn't really feel alive to me. bit dead and barren. and the factions all annoyed the hell out of me. usually you want to be the min protagonist, but in this I just found all their problems so stupid and tedious, they should have acted like grown ups and sorted themselves out.

[Psychosplodge]

There definitely seemed to be less you could do with speech options. It mostly came down to shooting your way through everything.

[eldargal]

So I just found out last night that conduits work like wires except they can go through walls and look a lot neater.

[Psychosplodge]

They didn't look neat when I was running them, but I think they're probably meant for the concrete.

[Psychosplodge]

I love that aerial build.
That's terrible about the save.

[Gotthammer]

Thanks, I have an unreasonable love for scaffolding lol.

And yeah not happy about it, everything was furnished and lit and just >.< On the plus side should be faster to build it the second time and can improve on things a bit. Do wish there were half size vertical walls though, or at least not semi-destroyed looking ones, would be very useful.

[Psychosplodge]

I've only used the prebuilt to give me a good fast travel spot at the lighthouse, and a little bit to make a ramp onto a walkway I added to taffington boathouse. Might use it to remake the construction site from my current tower block.

- - - Updated - - -

barn walls. there's a decent half hight solid red wooden wall.

It can just about be seen under the windows on the row of shacks here

http://i.imgur.com/eKxJrRF.jpg

[Gotthammer]

My love of scaffolding and gantries is from real life so this update is great for me :p Only issue is that walls don't snap to it, so had to attach a regular wall piece to the frames as sort of a starter.

Oh I meant half vertically so half the width of a normal wall piece, so like can have staircases with doorways rather than half the wall being open. There are ones that are sort of damaged, can see them on the rightmost house in my pic above by the staircase leading to it - just wish they weren't beat up.

It's from the Commonwealth Shorts (http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/7898/?) mod - the Vault Girl outfits (strength, of course :p ), and her armour is heavy combat armour legs and sturdy arms upgraded to the top tier material - polymer I think?. Also a good combo with the summer shorts outfit (esp with ballistic weave so you've got 110 ballistic and energy resistance lol)

I modded the synth armour so it's all shiny and chrome :p

Haven't started it up again yet to see but hope not - didn't crash so should be ok. Also only about half done - still needs lots of decorating and furniture added, and am going to extend the gantry to go over the pre-existing house and build more stuff on the other side too lol.

And yes, build a giant gantry factory too! :p

Also built up Taffington Boathouse as a heavily fortified Minuteman base and called it "The Fort"

"Unintentionally"... suuuuuuuure it was :p



It actually was, before my final evolution my creature was a blob with arms and raptor legs, a dolphin like mouth and a tail with spikes and a venom sac on the end.
When I did the final creature building I had a new mouth that was a bit horse snoutish, and then I realised I could rotate the spine and make them stand up, and then once it accidently looked a bit like a standing horse yes I then moved the spike off the tail :D

It was pink all the way through though :)

- - - Updated - - -

So its all back and working now?
Very cool.

I need to go back to taffington boat house and redo it now we have new stuff to play with.

[Gotthammer]

Not sure I'd say it's all working - it always rains there, like all the time non stop. Had to console the weather to get the shots above. It started raining right after the last one... Also couldn’t build food/drink vendors for a while, they were just gone from the menu there, and later appeared but were greyed out.

Yeah going to tear down my Sanctuary tavern and rebuild it with the warehouse & barn parts. Then work on County Crossing since there's nothing there yet lol

that is so wrong :D

[Erik Setzer]

Sharing not bragging Erik, share some pics :D

Need to get in-game and sort some out. But my main character's primary settlement is so clean... Mostly Institution buildings and such, in arranged order. I feel like I want to do a new game just to build a "proper" settlement like other people have. But I'm not sure I can do what people are doing, because it's not structured enough for me. Looks beautiful and looks right, but I have a hard time doing a building where the windows aren't perfectly symmetrical, for example.

- - - Updated - - -


I was having fun fortifying Sanctuary, then the attackers materialised inside the settlement, so I didn't bother any more

I just skipped on walls and built a ring of turrets for that reason. I mean, hell, if they're going to magically show up inside the walls, might as well make it so the "wall" turns around and unloads on them, right? Works well, too. An assault from Deathclaws got mulched before they got close.

[Erik Setzer]

Thanks, and if I had known that I would have started working for them sooner.:p But yes going to betray the hell out of those barstuds.>< At what point do you get the furniture?

Can't remember when you get access (especially as my settlement building is modded like mad), but you can go pretty far with them without having to actually do anything that betrays your personal morals too much. You do have to be careful, though... I helped the Railroad against them and, without saying too much in terms of spoilers, there came a mission that I think is necessary to complete to help set up the Railroad's plan to destroy them, and it sets you up as an enemy of the Brotherhood (everyone's fighting for the same prize object).

Actually, come to think of it... that probably explains why in that play-through I never saw, erm, a "certain thing" that showed up in others.

SPOILERS to explain below.

The mission in question is one where you go to get a nuclear reactor thingymabob from a building. Institute wants it to finish their self-sustaining reactor. Brotherhood wants it to power Liberty Prime. So I'm guessing that by going and getting it for the Institute, that prevented the Brotherhood finishing LP and setting it loose.

- - - Updated - - -


they are all icky, and their plot lines are just knee jerk nonsense. 'we must destroy everyone not like us, because reasons'. or you could co-operate as you have no real reason to oppose one another... 'no, go kill all those others'

Isn't that kind of like the real world, though? Like, depressingly realistic?

I still have an ancient iPhone 3G (not even 3GS), so I can't even see what this Pokemon GO! stuff is all about, but it's all over my Facebook wall. Nerd groups, RPG groups, friends... so many people talking about it.

The whole "get outside and move around" part sounds nice, but in Florida in the summer, if you don't have a car, you don't do that (highs are already in the 90s with humidity making it "feel" above 100 and making it that much worse). So not sure I could participate anyway.

(As for my phone... I've gotten so much flak on how old it is and needs replaced. Can't load many app updates, can't download Uber, can't even use the apps for the company I work for. But hey, I mean, it still works for phone calls, emails, and basic web browsing.)

I've got a windows phone. I felt lucky to get the pipboy app :D

(for those who don't know in the handheld games eggs are hatched based not on time but how much you walk around in game - in Go it's based on distance walked (though measures are in place so if you're moving too fast, like in a car, it won't count), so they've attached the phone to their dog so while they run around it hatches the egg)

Is the drone remote catching pokemon?

[Gotthammer]

Yep, controlling the drone from the tablet and the phone from the laptop.

[Psychosplodge]

brilliant.

[Psychosplodge]

Backed to banished last night again. About to cross 300 people, Got 32 farmers and eight different crops. Need to look at setting up orchards next.

In Wellington, New Zealand, there’s a gym located by a fountain. The problem? That fountain is in the middle of Wellington Harbour. Not that that’s stopping some dedicated trainers who are boating out there to claim it. According to the daring players, Team Yellow seems to have the advantage here.

[Psychosplodge]

lmao. That's one way to do it.

[Mr Mystery]

#pokemongo?

That's not very PC now, is it. It's bad enough you want to assault the mentally handicapped, but you also insist on using a slur to describe them.

Just played 'Gone Home', which was a PS+ title last month.

What a beautiful game. If you can, get it and play it

[Psychosplodge]

Isn't that a visual novel?

Didn't you consider Sakura swim team?

[Mr Mystery]

Kind of...I guess?

Really good game.

[Psychosplodge]

Maybe you should try the Bible black one...

Its a story told from a first person perspective and exploration of a house. It's a really good show of how to use games to tell engaging and moving stories. I was in tears at the end.

[Mr Mystery]

Even I, with all the emotions of a house brick, was welling up.

[eldargal]

It's a great game. I spent the first 15 minutes expecting to find corpses or a demonic summoning circle or something though.

[Mr Mystery]

Indeed!

Oddly satisfying, even though all one really does is just wander around in a surprisingly linear adventure.

Either that, or I just got it right first time.

[Psychosplodge]

Finally finished fallout 4.
Just sped through it from the building the device part last night.
Think I've managed to finish it on good terms with the three non institute factions.
Also remembered to help virgil out.
Got a cutscene anyway.

Have to have a play tonight and see where I actually stand with them all.
