| [FO4] found an easy to way to quickly raise affinity with all companions Posted: 09 Jul 2017 10:08 PM PDT when you ask a companion to join you, the game doesnt tell you but it raises their affinity by 30 points, equivalent to one [X loved that], and it resets after you complete a quest. so after i complete a quest i go back to red rocket where i have all my companions and go around asking them to join me, quickly trading one for another one. i havent used strong or cait at all but i just got them to "admired" in a surprisingly quick amount of time. i hope this isnt common knowledge and im being redundant;; personally havent seen it mentioned before though [link] [comments]  |
| The song "Begin Again" from Dead Money and Old World Blues needs some acknowledgement. Posted: 10 Jul 2017 08:20 AM PDT Every once and awhile a thread comes up discussing everyone's favorite songs in Fallout. The one that I find a strange absence of is one of the game's original songs, "Begin Again" by Vera Keyes that plays on the Mysterious Broadcast. This is sincerely one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my entire life, New Vegas circlejerk aside. I may sound like I'm exaggerating when I say that it sends shivers down my spine but it does. I'm sure that a good majority of players haven't heard but my lord I beg you to. It's easily my favorite song in the series, even if it makes me really sad. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jul 2017 01:31 PM PDT So I finally completed the MQ after playing the game for a year, and ignoring all the game-play and dialogue issues, what bothered me the most was that your character assumes that Shaun is still a baby. I get that they want to believe that he is alive, but why would they keep saying that he is a baby. This is especially irritating after first talking to Codsworth who says its been 200+ years and then in Kellog's memories where you see a 10yr old Shaun. Yet your character is still saying something like "I'm looking for Shaun, he is just a baby..." What makes it worse is that this is the only dialogue option for nearly half of the MQ. Can someone please explain if there is a reason for this. Maybe I missed something. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 10 Jul 2017 05:19 AM PDT http://i.imgur.com/rZZlVya.jpg I really loved this. I thought it was beautiful yet very creepy and unsettling at the same time. Moments like these are what I play Fallout 4. Reading all their log entries was great. [link] [comments]  |
| do you feel like they should get rid of not being able to fast travel while indoors? Posted: 10 Jul 2017 11:32 AM PDT i mean, i get the purpose of it when it's like a dungeon, because then it would be too easy to just go back to a town and heal and drop off your loot, but think about how many times you've sat through a minute long loading screen just to get outside of a building, so that you can immediately go into another long loading screen so you can get to where you actually wanted to go. seriously, think about it. if youve played a lot of bethesda games like i have, all those minutes have added up to quite a few hours. it just seems so arbitrary in so many situations.

| Why do so many people imply New York was obliterated? Posted: 10 Jul 2017 02:57 PM PDT Theres no evidence for it in lore. The nuclear bombs were far more radioactive then explosive, and the BOS even mentions they saw very tall skyscrapers on their way to the Commonwealth [link] [comments]  |
| Some screenshots I've taken in Fallout 4. Posted: 10 Jul 2017 06:07 AM PDT Here are some screenshots I've taken in Fallout, I took them a while ago, they're not in the best quality because I used steams screenshot thing. Hope everyone likes them! [link] [comments]  |
| Has anybody been able to achieve 60fps in cities yet? Posted: 10 Jul 2017 12:06 PM PDT I tried so many that reduce clutter, shadow distance tweak, great fps boost, optimized vanilla textures, draw distance, enb boost but no matter what I use, if falls below 25fps. Outside the city is fine it only happens inside. It's not my hardware, I have more than the recommend specs to run it at very high graphics. I heard buying 2 gtx titans should barely run it smoothly right? [link] [comments]  |
| Just went through the grandhcester mystery mansion... Posted: 09 Jul 2017 08:08 PM PDT Finally went up to the attic to come across the girl! I OPENED THAT DOOR AND DAMN I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK! YOU GOT ME GOOD BETHESDA! I was in such a rush to chase that little ghost I didn't care about anything else... tunnel vision [link] [comments]  |

| There's a landmark missing from FO3 Posted: 10 Jul 2017 01:21 PM PDT The National Cathedral. Located in NW Washington the National Cathedral, the Cathedral is a massive Gothic structure that provides an overlook of the entire city from the observation deck. While it was only officially completed in 1990 construction began in 1907, long before the divergence of the Fallout timeline from our own. While it may not have been completed by the time of the Great War, it is also possible that the increased atomic technology could have sped along the construction. At the very least there would have been a partially complete, hulking, Gothic edifice of stone overlooking Washington. The Cathedral could have been an excellent site for either a full-on cult like faction, perhaps some sort of offshoot of the Children of Atom that has adapted the Episcopalian relics and Cathedral to it's own purposes, or at the very least, it could have made an impressive setting for yet another battle with Super Mutants or Raiders. Either way, the National Cathedral could have been a great location for some post-apocalyptic action. Any thoughts? A link to a picture of the Cathedral: [link] [comments]  |
| Is Far Harbor a sign that Bethesda learned/is learning from their mistakes? Posted: 09 Jul 2017 04:03 PM PDT Maybe it's the optimist in me-but knowing how Bethesda looks to mods a lot to tell what they can do better, I'd assume they also get a general consensus around the entire community. (At least, they better, or the future isn't very bright) They changed survival and people loved the changes. They made Far Harbor and that seems to be a good DLC. Do y'all see this as hope for the future? I do. But as previously stated I'm often an optimist, and could see why many people think of a more negative outlook on the future of this franchise. I suppose I have a little more faith/trust in Bethesda to fix their mistakes than the average person might. Thoughts? [link] [comments]  |
| War Never Changes, Chapter 1: The American Dream Posted: 10 Jul 2017 08:36 AM PDT Hello! I am u/moxdogthehound, and I write things. I did a Skyrim series called The Last Dragonborn, which was a novelisation of my Skyrim playthrough. It ended up being over 40,000 words, which I'm pretty proud of. I took a brief break, and I've come back with a brand new series I want to share with you all. War Never Changes is my Fallout 4 playthrough/novelisation. I only have the one chapter so far, but there will be a lot more in the week to follow. If you enjoyed this, or didn't, please, let me know in the comments what did or didn't do it for you. I do these series to practice my writing, essentially, and the only way for me to improve is by receiving feedback from you, the reader. If you did enjoy this, you might want to consider subscribing to my personal subreddit, r/MoxdogTheWriter. That's where all of my stories get posted, and if you do decide to subscribe, you should know that I genuinely appreciate your support. I hope you enjoy! I stood, hands perched on either side of the sink, staring into the fogged up mirror. The steam cleared slowly, revealing a foggy, distorted version of my face. "War never changes." I spoke the words deliberately, as I stared intently at the vision of myself that was slowly becoming clearer as the water droplets cleared away. "You're gonna knock 'em dead at the Veteran's Hall tonight, hon." Spoke Nora as she appeared at my side. I looked at her through the mirror, admiring her beautiful features. She smiled at my reflection, which caused me and my reflection to smile back at her. "You think?" I asked. I'd been deliberating on that particular tagline for weeks leading up to tonight's events, and I was still unsure about it. "Absolutely." She said, her face breaking into another of her comforting smiles. "Now get ready and stop hogging the mirror!" She laughed, before reaching up and tousling my auburn hair. I leant forward and made a final inspection of myself; my beard was trimmed, and my hair was long but neat. I stepped back and pecked Nora on the cheek, before moving out of the way to allow her to use the mirror. I stepped out of the bathroom and headed into the kitchen where Codsworth was floating around. He turned at my presence and spoke in his crisp, robotic English accent. "Ah, good morning, sir! Your coffee." He said, rotating to present a coffee pot. "173.5 degree Fahrenheit. Brewed to perfection!" I grabbed a coffee mug from the table and held it out whilst he poured the steaming hot coffee into the mug. I held it up, savouring the aroma of the energising potion. "Thanks, Codsworth." I said simply, before moving over to the bench. I glanced at the front page of the newspaper; more of the same. I took a sip of coffee and placed the paper down, electing to grab the comic book instead. Grognak the Barbarian and the Jungle of the Bat Babies. It was my favourite, but I'd read it a thousand times before. Getting restless quickly, I stood back up and walked around the small kitchen. From the other end of the house, I could hear my son, Shaun, begin to cry. As quick as ever, Codsworth stopped what he was doing. "Ah, sounds like someone made a stinky! I shall attend to young Shaun." He spoke, his words sounding quite comical with his accent. I heard Nora chuckle behind me, startling me slightly. I was a difficult person to sneak up on, yet somehow she always managed to. "You know, I was nervous at first, but Codsworth's really good with Shaun." She said as she flicked through my discarded newspaper. I moved over and stood in front of the television, savouring the slowly cooling coffee in my hands. The news anchor was delivering the weather forecast for the next few days. I looked out the window, admiring what I saw. We hadn't lived in Sanctuary Hills for long, but it was a beautiful neighbourhood. Clean streets and beautiful gardens filled my view; it was a nice improvement over the ghetto-like conditions I'd lived in throughout my childhood. The doorbell rung suddenly, breaking me out of my reverie. Nora called from the kitchen bench, not looking up from her paper, "can you get that? It's probably that salesman. He comes for you every day." I walked over to the front door, just as the newscaster switched to sports. I opened it, revealing a short man wearing a suit and tie covered by a large yellow coat, with a matching yellow hat on his head. In his hands was a sturdy-looking clipboard with the Vault-Tec logo emblazoned on the back. "Good morning! Vault-Tec calling! Mr Fitzpatrick, I assume?" He asked, taking a step forward. I couldn't tell if he was genuinely that cheerful, or if it was an act. "Mornin'" I answered back simply. He paused for a brief moment, before the cheery speech returned. "Isn't it? Just look at the sky out here!" He said, before clearing his throat. He looked directly at me for the first time, before launching into his pitch. "You can't begin to know how happy I am to finally speak with you. I've been trying for days! It's a matter of utmost urgency, I assure you." I looked at him quizzically. "What's so important?" "Why nothing less than your entire future! If you haven't noticed, sir, this country has gone to heck in a basket." I nodded at this, thinking about the dire food shortages plaguing parts of the U.S., and the violent riots occurring around the nation. "If you'll excuse my language." He continued. "The big kaboom is… it's inevitable, I'm afraid. And coming sooner than you may think. If you catch my meaning. Now, I know you're a busy fellow, so I won't take up much of your time. Time being a, um, precious commodity… I'm here to tell you today, that because of your family's service to our country, you have been pre-selected for entrance into the local Vault. Vault 111." "But there's room for my entire family, right?" I knew he spoke the truth about the 'big kaboom'. It was inevitable, and having a Vault as a backup was a good idea. But I wouldn't be going anywhere without my family. "Of course. Of course! Minus your robot, naturally. In fact, you're already cleared for entrance. It's just a matter of verifying some information. Don't want there to be any holdups, in the event of… ahem… total atomic annihilation. Won't take but a moment." The way he spoke so cheerfully about the end of the world didn't sit right with me. "Sure." I said. "Let's do it." He worked through his checklist, verifying the information with me. After he ticked off the last box, he looked up from his clipboard and smiled at me. "Wonderful! That's… everything… Just gonna walk this over to the Vault! Congratulations on being prepared for the future!" With that, he turned and walked off. "Uh… Thanks again!" I called out after him, before closing the door. I turned back to see Nora sitting on the lounge, looking up at me. "Hey, it's peace of mind. That's worth a little paperwork, right?" "For you and Shaun, no price is too high." I said, flashing her a quick smile. She laughed at this, a heart-warming sound that made me remember why I married her. "Good answer." I winked at her and grinned. "I have my moments." I could hear Shaun crying again from the other end of the house, as Codsworth floated back down the hall. "Mister Colin," he spoke, "Shaun has been changed, but absolutely refuses to calm down. I think he needs some of that 'paternal affection' you seem to be so good at." "You heard Codsworth," Nora called from her seat on the couch, "go on." I walked down the hall and entered Shaun's room. Lying in his cot, wrapped up in a blanket was my beautiful baby boy. I looked down on him, my heart filling with happiness, as it did every time I saw him. I reached down and tickled him, and the crying stopped almost instantly. From behind me, Nora's voice spoke again; she'd managed to sneak up on me again. "And how are the two most important men in my life doing?" she asked, wrapping her arms around my muscular waist. "Spin the mobile a bit. He loves that." I did as I was bid, spinning the rocket-ship mobile that hung above Shaun's crib, the soft accompanying music playing as well. "How's my little guy? Much better now, huh?" "At least he's stopped crying." I said, looking at my wife. She looked back at me and smiled. "Listen, after breakfast, I was thinking we could head to the park for a bit. Weather should hold up." "And do what exactly?" I asked. From the living room, Codsworth called out. "Sir? Mum? You should come and see this!" He sounded panicked. I didn't even know his programming allowed for him to sound panicked. I rushed out to the living room whilst Nora grabbed up Shaun and followed. We stood there, watching the newscaster. What he was saying filled me with the icy cold feeling of pure fear. "Followed by… yes, followed by flashes. Blinding flashes. Sounds of explosions… We're… we're trying to get confirmation…" The newscaster spoke slowly, the shock clear in his voice as he looked around the newsroom at the crew members clearly behind the camera. "But we seem to have lost contact with our affiliate stations… We do have… coming in… confirmed reports. I repeat," he said, looking directly at the camera, "confirmed reports of nuclear detonation in New York and Pennsylvania. The TV signal suddenly cut out, replaced with a generic 'Please Stand By' screen. "My god…" Nora whispered under her breath. My mind switched in to soldier mode; my mission was to get my wife and son safely to the Vault. "Let's go!" I called. "We need to get to the Vault now!" I opened the door, just as the sirens started sounding. The quiet street was now chaos. A booming voice called, "RESIDENTS OF SANCTUARY HILLS! IF YOU ARE REGISTERED, PROCEED TO VAULT 111 IMMEDIATELY." We ran down the street towards the path that lead to the Vault. A military Vertibird flew overhead, whilst an APC parked at the end of street. Soldiers climbed out and began ushering civilians towards the Vault. I kept hold of Nora's arm and lead her through the mass of our neighbours. We crossed the small wooden bridge, passing a couple arguing over whether or not they should bring the suitcase. The lush green grass and the beautiful array of autumn leaves seemed so ill-fitting considering the impending doom that could be unleashed upon us at any second. We arrived at the gate to the Vault area, which was guarded by a ranking Army Officer and heavily-armed soldiers in suits of Power Armour. The Vault-Tec rep I'd spoken to only a short time before was engaged in a heated discussion with the Officer blocking the gate. "That's absurd!" he screamed. "I AM Vault-Tec!" The army officer roared in his face, "NOT ON THE LIST. YOU'RE NOT GETTING IN." "I'm going in!" The Rep yelled back! "You can't stop me!" With this, one of the soldiers stepped forward and began spooling up the large minigun he was holding. "Woah woah woah, ok!" The Rep said hastily, before stepping away to the side. I pushed through the crowd, coming face to face with the army officer. "We need to get in! We're on the list!" He glanced down at the clipboard. "Infant… Adult female… Adult male… Ok, go ahead." He said, before moving aside to allow us to pass. He nodded at Nora as she passed. "Good luck ma'am. And God help us all." We ran up the path, were a Vault-Tec security guard awaited us. "You two!" he bellowed. "Follow me!" With this, he turned and ran up the path, leading us towards the Vault. The Vertibird I'd seen fly over came down to land, the rapidly spinning blades buffeting us. We ran past as the guard yelled again, "Step on the platform! In the centre!" We ran and stepped onto the platform, joining a group of our neighbours who were already waiting. An alarm sounded nearby, and the order to send us down was given. Nora huddled close to me, and I spoke to her, trying to calm her. "Almost there. We're gonna be ok. I love you. Both of you." "We love you too." She said back, gazing up at me through fearful eyes. I looked out over the hills, just as a gigantic explosion erupted in the distance. A blinding light grew quickly, and even from our considerable distance, we could feel the heat of the explosion. I'd heard mini-nukes exploding when I was in the service, but that can't prepare you for the intensity of a nuclear warhead exploding; it sounded like the end of the world. A huge mushroom cloud rose from the detonation site, as the nuclear blast caused the whole sky to turn a hellish colour. The platform we were on slowly began its descent, as a storm of dust and debris raced across the landscape towards us. The platform sunk low enough that we weren't torn to pieces by the sheer ferocity of the winds, or any loose pieces of rock or wood that hadn't been incinerated. I looked up as the nuclear-powered hellstorm raged overhead. The doors at the top of the platform closed, clanging shut. The light of the hellish red sky was replaced with bright industrial lighting. The roaring wind vanished, replaced by the sounds of adults sobbing, and Shaun wailing. The elevator came to a stop at the bottom of the shaft, and I mentally prepared myself for my new life in Vault 111. I hope you liked this. If you did, don't forget to swing by r/MoxdogTheWriter! If there's any feedback, please comment or message me. Thank you! Have a lovely day! [link] [comments]  |

| New Vegas with Portuguese subtitles? Posted: 10 Jul 2017 03:12 PM PDT Ok, so I know that Portuguese is not a mainstream language for games of this magnitude, but I was wondering if anyone knew how I'd find this so my GF would have an easier time playing it. She's shown interest in the game, but it's too heavy on the English side of things for her. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 10 Jul 2017 02:31 AM PDT I'm working on a Fallout roleplaying forum and I want to include a group that settled on an old Sports megastore. After settling they became amazed by the equipment and started to believe that the place was an old Pre-War temple and that each sport was dedicated to pleasing a god. As the years passed their beliefs, mithology and society evolved. Now they are a warrior society that thinks that diying in battle is the only way of going to the Essadim, a corruption of the word Stadium, a Valhalla of some sorts. Their warriors would divide depending on the sport:
Thing is. Should this group be tribal, a fully fledged faction or raiders? I cannot decide. What do you think? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 10 Jul 2017 01:30 PM PDT The war was only between china and america right? So what happened to europe? Was it hit by the bombs too, or is there a normal prospering civilization? Maybe the brotherhood with their advanced technology is from there. [link] [comments]  |
