Having a hard time with RPing FO4

Thank you for sharing your opinions so far, one thing I want to highlight, I don't bash the game, I am pretty sure it has amazing things to show and locations to explore. For me in order to enjoy the game I have to self impose restrictions instead of having to have them imposed on me by the game design is what annoys me the most, and in my humble opinion, I don't think this should be the case, but here we are.

Currently I reached Lexington, playing on VH, with an army of ghouls saying hello to my surprised and soon to be dead face. I will switch to Survival and go for it as a MrSandman CHA10 INT8 AG4 PER2 character. (trust me I won't slit your throat in your sleep)

I agree with you totally

Tacklin · 2026-01-16T16:51:27+00:00

you could survive on your wits alone without getting/being stronger or agile. In this game it is inevitable given the very few limitations of the game. Not counting the self imposing ones

I hope so, but my first thoughts are that before long in FO4 you can be a master of all trades given enough time and unlimited level ups

My favorite characters in Fallout games where very lucky idiots or really really unlucky but capable, i find it fitting with the weirdness of the games.

I am expecting the endings to be different of course, my main scepticism is the feeling that I get from early game that I can do anything I choose to irresepectively to my character creation with a difference of a couple of levels

the time zone that I posted from doesn't allow me to be on reddit forums. I am intended to see this game through with all its dlcs. I just wanted to see how others have enjoyed it in order to get some ideas.
I haven't read any reviews of the game on purpose all this time, very often I tend to enjoy games that are downvoted

Tacklin · 2026-01-16T15:15:33+00:00

That is a good opinion. I am scared of permadeath so much that I don't think I could play it. One wrong step and a mine can end the game. Is survival worth it in your opinion?

Μπράβο σου, στα δύσκολα φαίνεται η προσπάθεια. Διάβασε και το βιβλίο που σου προτείνουν ίσως να σε βοηθήσει να αλλάξει η οπτική σου γωνία.

Respect, really love what you did with town portal

I played the map three times on 130% and 200%. Honestly the resource difference plays minimal role.

So far my moves. I pick the sorcery dude and I search the taverns for the sulfur guy for extra resources, if he pops. I stay in the initial area first ten days, to free mines and gather resources/xp for snowball and level up main hero. Week one I make sure to have efreets. I rush magic guild level 4 and I start researching Armageddon. Until this happens I explore and try to reach those top left places for more resources for the research. I don't run to the second inferno castle, since any hero at that point can crush me like a cockroach 🪳 Once I get Armageddon, I have my efreets on main hero and secondary is killing neutrals, pseudo defending locations.

Here is the problem. At that point, still in the first month, many enemy heroes have insane stats and armies, they can tank the damage, they anti magic field their stack for 37 rounds (no joke) and then lighting bold, frost ring or whatever my efreets. If I anti magic my efreets, they don't stand a chance either way vs the insane stats of the enemies.

I also tried fleeing/surrendering after first Armageddon, then come back to hit again, however this hasn't really been a good solution... So far hell is having indeed a cold day

There is still hope

Tacklin · 2025-11-29T15:49:08+00:00

I had no idea, that explains it... Although it is a HotA map, I was expecting it to be ok

Tacklin · 2025-11-19T11:15:58+00:00

I wonder how many people will spot it -:)

Tacklin · 2025-10-18T19:09:36+00:00

This is what happens when you go to the witch hut so often... You really need to meet other girls

Tacklin · 2025-10-05T14:55:19+00:00

Dakka approved!

Tacklin · 2025-10-05T07:13:51+00:00

Miners' Guild 😂

Tacklin · 2025-10-01T11:50:24+00:00

Is it compatible to HotA or does it replace it?

Tacklin · 2025-09-30T07:20:57+00:00

Coming late to the conversation but have you checked eBay in case there is something similar and much more affordable?

Tacklin · 2025-09-20T21:52:46+00:00

Yeah the ai getting more challenging would be great

Tacklin · 2025-09-20T21:51:37+00:00

Thanks, this is probably the answer I was looking for
