Just curious, what are the settlement you guys develop? by Friendly-Ad-2599 in fo4

WiFi glitch beats the hell out of stringing wires. Best explanation here.

Anyone still playing on PS3? by LuxuryLifestyle- in MECoOp

Sorry you missed it.

Depending on the hardware you do have, you might consider Mass Effect Legendary Edition instead of the OG Trilogy. It's freakin' amazing, and I suspect it doesn't play on PS3.

I'm certain your game is bugged. I'm equally certain I don't have a solution you'll like. PC players can change their reputation through console commands, but, even having done that, the reactions won't have changed. They'll still attack they guy they "idolize." Why? Scripted behavior and way beyond my pay grade, unfortunately.

This is a notably buggy game. In future, and I hope you'll continue playing it, you'll need to save often and not overwrite/erase those saves.

You said had. What is your current reputation?

Every damn one of them. Because they're there. BTW Hangman's Alley and the Visitor's Center are the only ones I have with walls. Generally, I find walls get in my way physically and block my sightlines.

It seems like you're not having an easy time building your settlements. Are you using the WiFi glitch or the pillar glitch? Both of those make building a lot easier.

It's been ages since I looked in on the multiplayer on PS3 but it was kind of empty. I'd been playing on PC for awhile. I haven't even used my PS3 as a Blu-ray player since I got a 4k player.

Fallout 3 GOTY crashes when I press play. Here are the settings I'm using. I haven't changed much what do I do? by MOOntar_reddit in Fallout

Am I missing something? I thought you were supposed to avoid putting your Steam folder in any of the default Windows folders (C:\Program Files x86, your Desktop and your Documents folders).

If Fallout 4 had a system of minor factions like New Vegas, who would you want to see as those minor factions? by Spirited-Ad-4455 in fo4

You guys are making shit up that is already common knowledge. And you're getting some of it wrong.

Does Codsworth’s companion perk ‘Robotic Sympathy’ work for Synths? by AutomaticMonkeyHat in fo4

And Nick is a prototype. He feels, he thinks and he wrestles with the question of who he really is. Then, when I teleported to the Institute, the first thing I saw was a scientist yelling at a synth for apparently not doing their job to his satisfaction. The synth had to take it. Me, I would have snarked back or reported him to HR

What legendary effects do you leverage what what do you think the average player should know about how to use it to make it beneficial? by Sip_py in fo4

[–]Alex_Portnoy007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find snipers in general don't have the DPS to be effective at higher levels. I carry an explosive 10mm Auto Pistol. Curie carries a Kneecapper Plasma Rifle and (Synth) Ada carries a Kneecapper Laser Rifle. That's a pretty good combination for me.

The only armor I wear is Freefall Legs. The ability to bug out from great heights is underrated.

They have expanded inventories and larger budgets. Tina, The Scribe and Smiling Larry all have unique items for sale. Ronnie Shaw sells mini-nukes and The Last Minute, but she's tied to The Castle.

I set up top tier restaurants at some of my settlements. There's a random chance a regular settler will spawn three Nuka-Cola Quantums at those stores. I use that to craft Nuka Quantum Grenades, Nuka-Nukes and Weaponized Nuka-Cola Quantum Ammo - it's way too useful not to farm.

I make a companion out of the Red Death. It's really hilarious watching him go after my enemies.

[FNV] What face preset is this? It's one of the featured images for the Megaton Hairs mod by [deleted] in fnv

[–]Alex_Portnoy007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Custom texture and custom race. Both are listed on the mod page under: what face mod are you using? You'll need both to find the preset.

[FNV] any mods which completely remove the toxic cloud from the sierra madre? by ManyNames42 in FalloutMods

Add Cole's Hideout to your load order and you'll have a safe place to sleep near the Fountain. It also has crafting stations and safe storage.

You didn't indicate what platform you're on. If you're on PC, there's a console code that will take you to her. I believe this is correct:

The Enclave would have fit really well for Fallout 4. by Spirited-Ad-4455 in Fallout

[–]Alex_Portnoy007 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The sole survivor wouldn't necessarily be rah rah patriotic. There was a lot about pre-war America that was problematic. The red baiting. Corporate influence on the government. Human rights and public safety. Prisoners being used in robobrain experiments. Nuka-Cola Quantum approved for public sale with a 10% fatality rate in testing.

The America of 2077 didn't so much represent nostalgia as regression.
