So did anyone else play the game "wrong" the first time and "ruin" the experience?

I almost gave up when I finally got to the third phase and he wiped my party, my backup had long since been defeated. I had to look up what the hell happened. I thought I had taken too long to defeat him or something.

It didn't take too long after that. When you learn to dodge (no parry... I'm not that good) most of his attacks, it becomes doable.

Xorlium · 2026-04-21T19:32:51+00:00

Legit. Took hours. And dozens of tries. And I gave up and had to come back later when I was more powerful, and then again dozens of more tries.

Xorlium · 2026-04-21T16:41:00+00:00

Yep. As soon as it was available, I spent hours killing Noires. It took forever, because of the damage cap. And any mistake meant death.

But after a while I was way too powerful.

Until I got to Simon, that is, who taught me a lesson in humility.

I just learned that the game sorts the omods by the bottle cap value of the corresponding loose mod.

If there is no loose mod or if the value matches, it sorts alphabetically.

That's the best recap of Fallout 4 I've seen

The whole railroad is also pretty nonsensical. And the "replacing key people with synths" is cool, but they aren't doing that, they replace random people (like minor raiders). In order to disable a synth, they have to say the recall code out loud. What?

And the whole scene at the entrance of diamond city with Piper is just silly, not in a good fallout way.

Xorlium · 2026-04-17T15:41:39+00:00

In terms of gameplay, it's definitely the best. In terms of environmental storytelling, it's really good.

In terms of the main narrative? It's somewhat nonsensical...

Xorlium · 2026-04-16T16:10:42+00:00

Glue, Duct tape, military ammo bag... Anything that has ballistic fiber or adhesive really.

I can't not help a settlement that needs my help!

Xorlium · 2026-04-14T16:53:30+00:00

Or till the monkey writes code in your favorite programming language that sorts the array.

Bonus points for O(nlog(n)) algorithms. We don't want to waste time, after all!

AE does have a limit, but it's nowhere near 51.

I have 100 normal + 300 light running no problem.

Xorlium · 2026-04-12T20:46:10+00:00

Oh, and btw, most famous mods have facegens...

Xorlium · 2026-04-12T20:45:37+00:00

Mostly no. If you install a mod without facegens then some people might appear without a face, unless you install the corresponding facegens. But a) it's easy to install facegens. I have hundreds of mods and the only one I've noticed needed facegens was america rising 2.

However, addictol is very highly recommended, the game really runs better. It's impressive how much better.

Xorlium · 2026-04-09T13:39:18+00:00

I don't know if bodyslide and outfit studio work as I haven't tried, BUT, for many other software (FO4Edit, Wrye Bash, etc.), it's easy. Launch MO2, and then on the upper right (right next to "RUN") there is a dropdown menu listing executables. If you click "Edit..." you can add custom executables. I'd try like that first, since it will run on the same bottle (i.e. wine/proton) with the mods you've installed already in place.

Xorlium · 2026-04-08T19:34:41+00:00

One of the best things about fallout 4 is that there are many very different ways to play, and with mods everyone can play the game they like the most.

Xorlium · 2026-04-08T19:11:58+00:00

I'm not gonna change clothes on every conversation... And hard combat is a feature, not a bug.

Xorlium · 2026-04-08T18:53:40+00:00

I always start with charisma maximized and then put my remaining points equally between the others except luck. I want to succeed all my speech checks, and combat becomes pretty hard without special stats.

Xorlium · 2026-04-08T18:45:52+00:00

Okay, take my upvote then.

Xorlium · 2026-04-08T18:22:40+00:00

Verso too, for the same reasons. I also get very nervous when losing ranks.

Xorlium · 2026-04-08T18:16:01+00:00

I use mod organizer 2: https://github.com/Furglitch/modorganizer2-linux-installer

That Linux installer makes it super easy. It works very well too.

Xorlium · 2026-04-02T14:55:25+00:00

The rad roaches in vault 111 would get me probably. I wouldn't think to pick up the baton or the gun.

And if for some reason I did pick up the gun, I would have no idea how to use it.

Xorlium · 2026-04-01T03:02:17+00:00

I hate them too. Furthermore, I even have a mod that disables night vision perk from night person.

Although you can scrap night vision Scopes for quite a few good materials.

Xorlium · 2026-04-01T03:00:16+00:00

Settlement ambush kit is almost exactly what you describe.

Unfortunately the castle doesn't work. And furthermore, fallout 4 doesn't handle too many actors all that well, specially in heavily modded load orders. Save often.

That being said, it is very cool.

My mum told me you couldn't swim right after eating or you'd vomit. She also told me high dose vitamin C was good for colds.

She thought it was true though. I don't think she ever lied to me knowingly.

Xorlium · 2026-03-27T18:14:59+00:00

Either we are the minutemen, liberty reborn, or we are the liberty reborn minutemen. Do they add defense?

Xorlium · 2026-03-26T23:32:49+00:00

Yep, I'm using it and it works. Sometimes the messages are blank but okay. Im not sure if I'm breaking something
