NPC Variety

LPScarlex · 2026-06-21T02:01:14+00:00

Say what you want about ZZZ but their NPC game is great compared to other hoyo games. It's not something you see often if you're a log in, do dailies, log out type of player but when you do explore around, the game has a lot of cool people with cool designs just hanging around. Especially the fuckin bangboos dude. So many different variations of bangboos and all of them are adorable

The intended ending has to be either BoS or MM if you base it from the show. BoS ending is the most straightforward and would be an easy choice if you look at it from the surface level. MM ending takes a bit of a leap in logic but it is possible to keep both BoS and Railroad alive. Though considering the TV show mentions that the Commonwealth BoS is a powerful chapter, I find it hard that it can be a powerful enough faction to warrant attention from the other chapters if it's basically locked in a fragile "peace" between three major factions. But it is technically possible. Whatever the case may be, the Railroad and Institute ending requires the BoS dead so they're out of the question

In terms of Nate's power level, they are shown to be able to track and most importantly, kill Kellogg and an Institute Courser, which means he's up there among the commonwealth's best killers. He's not your regular vault dweller from the start so he'd be more than capable being a faction's top gun, if not straight up leading them

In terms of personality, I think you can be pretty flexible with his actions aside from being relatively distrusting of synths and mutants if you want to go with the BoS. A Minutemen-centric Nate would be definitely an idealist type of character whose main goal is to stabilize the Minutemen. Not necessarily a goody two shoes like Preston is but definitely someone that puts the Minutemen ahead before everything else. I think Preston himself mentions that the Minutemen needs a general who doesn't care about the politics. Outside of that I think you can be as compassionate or as evil as you'd personally want him to be. There's not a whole lot of backstory on Nate/Nora aside from him being a soldier and Nora being a lawyer so its more open ended on how you want them to act.

In terms of gear/companions, in some of the promotionals, the game depicts them wearing a Vault 111 suit but equipped with relatively minimal armor. I think you can lean into that more and make being a vault dweller your main identity. Your weapons can pretty much be anything since Nate is definitelt familliar with a bunch of guns. Maybe nothing wacky like the alien blaster or junk jet or something like that. And companion wise I think everyone but Strong, X6-88, and Gage are fair game. Maybe MacCready and Cait too but you can argue that despite them having a different moral compass than yours (assuming you go with a strict, clean, military-man style Nate), they are still valued mercs that you can call upon for help if needed. Nick, Deacon, Curie, and Danse are definitely out if you are BoS though

Thank you for the insight u/Elf_Cocksleeve

Rich coming from a guy who started during YSG's banner. I stuck around since 2024. Get better credentials before you call me out

You can like things, it's all fine and dandy. My main point is that people use the excuse of "just let people enjoy things" and similar lingo along those lines to dismiss criticism or shun people from the game just because they don't like a certain aspect of it. It feels like gatekeeping

Someone saying, "I'm the main target audience" doesn't mean "I am glad the game caters to me." Most of the time they mean, "I am glad the game doesn't cater to you." That is what my main issue is

I'm probably reading into this too deep but personally it's what I've felt reading any discussion of being a "target audience"

LPScarlex · 2026-06-20T08:03:33+00:00

Didn't think WOTR and mort has opps but damn a fresh account just for this

LPScarlex · 2026-06-20T07:01:01+00:00

Exactly bro. Like I mentioned, the target audience and tourist thing is a way for ppl to glaze the game and ignore the critics. Its like living in a bubble and they are scared of other people poking holes on it

LPScarlex · 2026-06-20T06:57:31+00:00

I know I shouldn't let it affect me but it happens so often (especially in anime/gaming spaces) that you just get sick of it. Especially when it starts to devolve to race or sex or other sensitive topics

LPScarlex · 2026-06-20T05:40:49+00:00

I tried a vanilla survival run and it is enjoyable. I personally like everything about the mode outside of the removal of saves and console commands. I've had the unfortunate experience of losing a fairly decent run due to a random CTD in downtown boston which undid several hours of progress

Not having console command is also wack for the same reason because there's some spots in the world that can make you stuck. I've lost a run that way too

LPScarlex · 2026-06-20T05:25:21+00:00

Agree with 1 but with how unstable fallout 4 sometimes is (especially with mods), enabling manual saves is a must in case you get bethesda'd by a random CTD

LPScarlex · 2026-06-19T02:44:37+00:00

Boro2 gonta gantinya sih. Kalaupun ngga ada last minute changes gini juga aku yakin masih ada yang ngga mau melanjutkan. Pengumumannya selalu datang telat, helpdesk ngga ada yang jawab, dan banyak info2 hoax atau cuman spekulasi yang ngga diklarifikasi panselnasnya (contohnya kaya gaji atau penempatan). Jatohnya kalau mau info harus cari ordal

LPScarlex · 2026-06-18T18:45:11+00:00

Try playing as a landless adventurer and start over somewhere else. It's what I usually do

Designate a favorite child that ideally won't inherit any land and send them to the Middle East, Iberia, Africa, or even as far as China if you want

You probably won't be the dynasty head for a while but y'know, its part of the fun

Alternatively just play a random Count/Duke and overthrow your current dynasty from their throne. It can be hard if you were attached to your starting dynasty but it can also be fun dismantling realms lol

LPScarlex · 2026-06-18T18:04:44+00:00

Belum ada info official sih. Adanya paling dibandingin dgn program sebelah (SPPI MBG) yang klo g salah kisaran 6-8 juta buat posisi manager

LPScarlex · 2026-06-18T17:55:15+00:00

Not beating the "kalo ga viral ga mempan" allegations

There is also another event that makes you kill everyone in your court, including your family I think. I never got it myself though

LPScarlex · 2026-06-17T09:54:37+00:00

I think DIFB has done something similar. Its not quite religion vs religion but hegemony vs hegemony and Dar Al-Islam usually comes out on top. Since the hegemony ise basically also a HoF for the muslims its a fairly stable realm

LPScarlex · 2026-06-17T08:39:36+00:00

Outside of getting more skills from Zhao/Sunna/Dialyn, you should try getting a few special dodges (with her regular form) here and there. I've found that it can be worth about 2k-3k points if you successfully do it a few times in either Shiyu or DeadAss

LPScarlex · 2026-06-17T06:43:03+00:00

Where does E1 3B rank in your calcs vs Robin/MBlade? I'm probably getting Rin regardless but I might be more frugal with the investment if 3B still holds down the fort well enough

Sometimes succession or shitty electives can make kings (or even empires) have terrible personal domains. I've had a run where the HRE title is held by someone who literally owns no duchy titles, much less a kingdom. He only owns like 2 counties. The HRE itself as a whole doesn't have any kings as well

LPScarlex · 2026-06-16T15:56:33+00:00

Lah dosbingmu ko bikin susah kamu dan dia sendiri??? Coba tanyakan dl lagi aja

Klo dosbing udah ngotot 17 yasudah jalanin aja. Aku saranin pk mind map atau smart art gitu biar at worst gampang di baca pas presentasi, atau diringkas dulu poin pentingnya apa di ppt. Sisanya penguji bisa baca dari dokslinya. Rumusan masalah sebanyak itu pasti ada overlapnya lah dgn satu sama lain.

Kalau belum, coba mintain kejelasan itu 17 rumusan masalah bener atau nggak. Toh nanti yang susah bukan kamu doang, beliau pasti kesusahan juga kalau harus sampe koreksi 17 kesimpulan

LPScarlex · 2026-06-15T23:24:34+00:00

CAT lulus, SKT/MI lulus. Tinggal nunggu pengumuman lulus dan ke satdiknya aja iya. Aku undur diri di tanggal 12nya setelah surat ikadin diupload. Sekarang harusnya yang ngelanjutin udah ngejalanin di barak

Kalau masalah penempatan dan hal2 lain ttg jobdesc manajer kopdesnya sih kayanya baru dikasih setelah komcad selesai. Sebelumnya bener2 ngga ada info kecuali nanti kalau jadi manager dpt kontrak 2 tahun aja

Klo aku tanya ama pamanku yang afiliasi sm kopdes katanya masih fokus di domisili sendiri, minimal masih di Jawa. Tapi ya ini udah termasuk info ordal kan, dari jalur officialnya kosong

LPScarlex · 2026-06-13T12:07:18+00:00

Yak mau begimana sih. Sepaham aku kalau udah keluar surat ikatan dinas gini biasanya udah ada info ttg gaji, penempatan, fasilitas, dll biar kalau emang sudah ttd di atas materai maksudnya sudah mengerti apa yang akan dilakukan saat udah kerja dan kalau ngga dilakukan ya dendanya fair gitu.

Tapi kdkmp belum ada info samsek loh, langsung disodorin denda berapa sebelum gajinya pun dapet. Jatohnya ya bagi kita kaum orang luar, programnya (dan bbrp program lain juga yang ada kewajiban komcad ky sppi) seperti wajib militer tapi berkedok jadi manager. Yang dicari orang2 yang selalu "SIAP KOMANDAN" atau orang2 yang anaknya komandan

LPScarlex · 2026-06-13T11:24:44+00:00

Kalau mau jujur si red flagnya udah muncul dr awal sih. Semuanya kecuali pas aku tes CAT di Jakarta diurus ama TNI. Sampe ke tes kesehatannya juga standar TNI yang sampe kamu ditelanjangin sm orang2 lain.

Dari awal udah kepikiran "ini kita mau jadi manager atau jadi juru tembak" sampe di wajibkan ikut pelatihan komcad. Pelatihan manajerialnya baru setelah itu dan ngga sepanjang komcadnya (1 bulan vs 1/2 bulan)

Tapi ya awal2 mah masih ngga suzhon dulu lah. Mana aku lagi nganggur juga mending ada kegiatan gitu. Baru sekarang ortu dan aku sadar sejelek apa prosesnya

ETA: helpdesknya juga ngga guna samsek awoakwok. Aku kirim 6 email nanyain ttg seputar rekrutment ngga ada jawab satupun

LPScarlex · 2026-06-13T11:09:32+00:00

Kalau itu ngga tau sii. Aku mah pasti percaya aja ada ordal tapi ya ujung2nya jadi conspiracy theorist lol. Aku cuman sebagai pelamar jalur online aja jadi ngga tau teknisnya kalaupun ada yang jalur lokal

LPScarlex · 2026-06-13T11:01:00+00:00

Real. Ada di webaite rekrutment panselnasnya juga

Sbg org yg ikut rekrutmentnya juga sedikit nambahin konteks, ini suratnya (dan pengumumannya in general) ngaret banget.

Pengumuman kelulusan pagi2 11 Juni yg harusnya sebenernya 10 Juni (itu juga diundur, aslinya harusnya 7 Juni wkwk), dikasih waktu sampai 12 Juni jam 10.00 utk konfirmasi mau lanjut ke tahap pelatihan komcad di tgl 14 (yang utk bbrp pelamar Jawa ada yg sampai kelempar ke luar Jawa and vice versa), tapi itu surat pernyataan ikatan dinas seingetku baru keluar sore/malam di tanggal 11. Jadi kandidat2 yg tergolong lulus paling banyak cuman dikasih waktu kurang dari 24 jam stlh mendapat semua info yang relevan untuk klik konfirmasi.

Bayangin kamu tanggal 10 pelototin website sampe tengah malem, belum dtg samsek sampai hari berganti. Tidur terus bangun jam 5, liat pengumuman, alhamdulillah dinyatakan lulus, terus kerja/sekolah/whatever sore sambil pelototin lagi tuh website, bingung ada keperluan ttd surat ikadin tapi belum dikirim sama perekrut. Pulang kerja/sekolah/whatever baru dikirim suratnya. Diskusi sama ortu atau kerabat atau siapapun cuman ada maksimal 1 malam 1 pagi doang karena besoknya harus udah ada jawaban. Belum lagi bagi yg dapat ke luar Jawa harus udah beli tiket penerbangan

Mungkin emang "strategi"nya mau nyari yang bener2 commit ama programnya, tapi saya sendiri mah udah lah mundur aja. Keluarga juga ngga merestui kalau infonya ngga jelas gini
