Fallout 4

Yeah, the cl off thing in the ini works nicely, I found that earlier today too.

the real reason for power armor, to survive flying around in vertibirds.

Or sometimes even when you AREN'T flying in one.

I just assumed it was difficulty scaling. Do they get smashed as consistently below survivalist?

Ya, they get owned even at regular difficulty. I once ran across one that was actually landed and fighting super mutants. I tried to run over to see if I could use the gatling gun on it, but some jihadi mutant blew it up

Yeah it seems like they're supposed to crash. I almost shit the first time i saw it because it landed 3 feet away from me lol

they def are weak.

I had a fun encounter the other day. Settlement wanted supermutants killed in order to join Minutemen. Its north. I run up, and pull out my .308 combat sniper rifle. I am a bit too far away, shots aren't landing. As I pack up and start to run closer, a vertibird comes in from the north, on the other side , dropping some BOS troops, and attacking the mutants. I loose line of sight, due to a fence and hill, so need to run around, to get los to start sniping again. By the time I am set, the vertibird goes down, I think IT exploding killed both paladins in powerarmor, possibly a suicider mutant as well. But both PA BOS paladins died too. I kill off the mutants, who all won the BOS VS Mutant fight. I grab some loot from the mutants, then collect BOS tags and some loot. As I, enter the buildings to get the rest of the loot, I come under fire from a minigun, and can hear another vertibird. At first I thought, another BOS?, and why the hell are they attacking me again? (had a BOS patrol aggro to me the day prior for unknown reasons. Seriously, I fast traveled to a place, and they were attacking me as soon as I loaded.) Dive for cover, heal up. and then engage when ready. Its Gunners in a Vertibird. I snipe the guy manning the minigun. Try to snipe the pilot. but I guess it won't let you? forces you to target the bird itself.
But then seriously. 5 shots was enough to down it. double shot .308 combat rifle 5/5 rifleman. Didnt even need to sneak attack it.
Funny part was I totally died 3 times, and had to quickload to avoid it crashing INTO me and killing me. the house I was in only had 1 exit, and the house itself was not protecting me. had to run TOWARDS it, to avoid it.

I got the sense vertibirds weren't tuned well for survival diff after a couple hilarious attempts as a doorgunner where getting plinked by a few mutants killed me before the behemoth even noticed. Eventually I just went on foot and cleared that place out with few problems.

Kinda silly that they'd let that happen then. They should've maybe coded them to leave trailing smoke after taking too much damage. It would effectively be the same thing but it would be more immersive to see heavily damaged birds under repair at the airport than just a random boom and a loot pinata every few minutes.

This was kinda cool. I've been to Boston quite a bit but it's usually straight from my conference/meeting to the hotel and the airport. After driving there the first couple visits I learned to take cabs for every subsequent visit, so I've only seen a few of these landmarks:


Boston's IRL freeway network is like a game of cities:skylines played by a chimpanzee, but all those overpasses ingame seems to suggest that Boston in the Fallout Universe never got their Big Dig tunnel system.

To remove FakeLights on the character go to Documents\Mygames\Fallout4\Fallout4.ini and under [General] add this line sStartingConsoleCommand=cl off or you can download ENBoost and disable it from there. If you want to remove fog too you can also add setfog 1 0 like this sStartingConsoleCommand=cl off;setfog 1 0

Btw, I meant to mention this but got distracted by copy and pasting the sweetfx file... I don't recommend using setfog 1 0, only cl off. It turns off all fog, both indoors and outdoors. I can sort of understand why someone might want the indoor effect gone, and there's a mod for that:Remove Interior Fog. Using a global command that also turns off the outdoor fog is an awful idea.

Fog on:
Fog off:

Load the two images into separate tabs if you want to more easily see the difference by flipping between them. I wasn't sold on it at first but now I think I like fog-off better. It's good that it doesn't remove the mist that comes from water (that's a fountain downstairs), just the fake volumetric fog that is placed all over.

Is there a better non-unique base melee weapon than the super sledge?

I didn't find anything better, no. Even with uniques I still used the sledge in Jet Pack Power Armor in true Assault Terminator style.

Boy do I suck at this game-- it makes me rage and want to go play Wasteland II again. I think I'm just getting too old for this 3D bullshit (waves cane menacingly). After years of mouse use, aiming with a PS4 controller makes me feel like I have Parkinson's, and VATS isn't an always available alternative with the way AP works.

In my first five hours of play I've probably died fifty times on one of the first missions (bandits at the car factory). Either I was doing something majorly wrong, or they sure as fuck don't sugarcoat things at the start. It was either dudes literally off the screen with perfect Molotov and grenade aim that never miss, or my fucking dog runs off screen to get pulverized, or I'm standing at a wall corner and throw a Molotov that for some fucking reason hits the wall and kills me instead of landing where I aim *rage*.

I keep coming back for more but man do I ever suck at the combat part of this game.

Corvega is a deathtrap of a tutorial for what to expect out of the rest of the game - mostly because you most likely don't have half the tools you'll want for your particular play style. Game gets easier by leaps and bounds as you reach 30+ and have a stockpile of several ammo types and the enemy difficulty curve levels off to near stagnant.

Speaking of which, do knuckles/boxing gloves/power fist count as unarmed or melee?
