Fallout 4 (Official Thread)

[King Sun]

Im waiting for the game of the year edition to drop. I can't lie im a little disappointed by what people are saying about fallout 4

 

[MenacingMonk]

Never could get into Fallout, I own all of them except 4 but I never beat any of them. Closest I came was New Vegas

Almost picked it up the other day for 30 but I'll wait until black friday, might find it even cheaper

Why you gonna wasting your money?

Why you gonna wasting your money?

It looks fun but I don't really like paying much for games unless I know I'll enjoy them

I do like the Fallout series but I just don't stay interested enough to finish the games all the way

 

[Arcavian]

The mods make it even better

 

[Bathing Ape]

Dlc look trash too. Thats whats stopping me from copping again

Sorry that I don't want to put 75-100 hours into a game

For the Fallout series, it's worth it.

GOAT stoner game too

Might revisit 3 first and see if I can get into it

The only game I've really put a lot of hours into is Garry's Mod and I'm almost at 200 hours on that

Skyrim is my next highest at 80 hours, never did completely finish it though

I've never played any of the Fallout games and I can get this one used for about $18
1) Is it worth that price (I'm assuming yes)
2) Would I be able to just play this one without knowing anything about the other ones? (For what it's worth, I played Witcher 3 without knowing anything of the previous ones)

It's fun for the time you have it, the gunfighting is ridiculously tight and accurate... the only problem is the passive missions repetitiveness..

If you can cop it for only $18 it's a steal.

Gonna get to raid all the settlements I put so many hours into building

Man, compared to Fallout 3 and Fallout NV, we really got shytted on with the DLC for Fallout 4. Only 2 story DLC (3 if you count automatron, which you really shouldn't). I liked Far Harbor. I look forward to Nuka-World, but from what I've been reading, it looks pretty gimmicky

If you are able to use all these and get them to work you can make the game look a lot better than it does out of the box, as good as photo realistic if you want to use one of those type of ENB ( I don't I like my fallout game bright and vibrant and colorful). You are going to need a pretty good system to run these though. For reference I have slightly overclocked SLI 980's , I7 4770, 850 EVO 1TB SSD, a 2k monitor, and 32 GB of RAM. For best results you will want to install the enhanced wasteland preset first because it is an ENB...then you want to install the Vivid Fallout pack because it is going to change the majority of the textures to whatever res you want...and then you want to do the individual things like moon, starts, creatures, power armor etc and overwrite when it ask you so you get those individual textures updated, as the individual update textures for items is always better than an overall pack, but you need the overall pack for things that don't have an individual texture pack...

This is just the tip of the iceberg though in making the game look better...you can also use mods like the raider overhaul mod, Raider Overhaul WIP at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community , that makes the game completely different, new types of raiders and weapons and armor...

Looking at my load order I cam currently running the game with 115 mods...and I have 168 mods in the load order, the others are deactivated because I didn't like them or they didn't work or they conflicted with something else etc. I can give you a list of all of them if you want but be warned, gameplay mods are going to break whenever they release a DLC or whenever they do an update of the game. As many as I have I always have some that break and you have to wait until the mod author updates the game. For example their is a mod called craftable armor size that just about always breaks when a DLC is released, because a DLC has new armor, and for some reason Bethesda reclassifies all armor in the game when they do a DLC, so then the person who made the mod as to go in and update the mod to match the new armor list so that you can change the size of the armor again.

It's pretty tedious work but if you system can handle it then nexus mods has a mod for every single thing you would want to change about this game. Feel free to hit me up about whatever as I have probably put as many hours into modding this game as playing this game...and I have played it enough to finish it with every faction you can finish the game with...

I made outlet mall, I may have used all the mods lol
