DUST is the ur example of how stupid modders are when it comes to difficulty. Adding a booby trap grenade outside of a spawn location doesn't make the game difficult in any way. Adding in tunnelers and high level enemies everywhere against people that are only level 1 also doesn't make the game difficult.
Modders have no idea what proper progression is and have no understanding of difficulty. They're the type of people that think the Dark Souls aggro mod is the "true" way to play Dark Souls.

He's referring to how caesar breaks tribal affinity by forcing tribes to breed with other tribes, then get raised by people who usually aren't their parents, so they're loyal to the legion, not to their tribe, like the dog tribes of denver. NCR enthusiasts extrapolate that he obviously means racemixing when the idea behind that was lifted from how the romans did it, and it's between tribes which are cultures and family groups, not races. Such as the dog city tribes and the machete wielding tribe can both be white but get mixed so they're neither tribe now.

Her dad doesn't give a fuck about her. He probably relaxed in town a bit, and was fucking some slut for a while while doing some jobs, until moving on and Cass gets this massive daddy complex where obviously he died or something happened cause he'd never abandon HER, because clearly she and mom mattered and as such she needs to respect him and the name, and do him honor and shit, and to Cassidy she's probably just some other kid he whelped on a woman before going to save new people.

In case any of you haven't seen it, here's a bunch of info on 76. It's going to be worse than 4 in every way. Here's a great highlight on its improvements from 4's awful dialogue system:
>The big difference between Fallout 76 and the other games in the series is you don’t engage in conversation with most of the NPCs. You still hear what they have to say, but you don’t have dialogue choices to steer the conversation or mission in a different way. Bethesda likely has a number of colorful NPCs that players will grow fond of, but they hope the most interesting beings in the wasteland end up being the other human players. They want them to be the real storytellers.
>>15543078
I'm assuming we're able to fix it from the ground up, and you don't mean "what mods could you add to fix it". I'll explain the minimum of what I think needs to be done to fix the game. First of all, removed the voiced protagonist and bring back a dialogue system similar to NV or even better 1/2. 4's dialogue system is irredeemable garbage at it ruins any chance of salvaging the game because it is so heavily restrictive and limited. Having the protagonist voiced further limits the number of options. I'd rather the NPC dialogue be limited too, so only a few lines are voiced, to enable much more writing and dialogue. Which leads into the next point, have more dialogue. Be able to better explain your character's reasoning and motivation, and allow perks and stats to impact dialogue choices. Have NPCs be better able to explain their stances and their faction's ideals in more detail. Give more role playing options.
Change the player character's backstory to be more open for a better role playing experience. You don't even need to change the backstory too much. If they insist on making the character pre-war, they're not Nate/Nora, but instead a random resident of Sanctuary. Game starts out similarly, Nate and Nora have their baby with them but your backstory is undefined. Have a short section where you can walk around the town and get to know the neighborhood before the bombs drop. Have some buildup for why you may or may not give a fuck about your neighbors and Shaun, even a tiny bit, because as it is, there is no buildup for why the player should be emotionally invested in any of these characters at all. Vault Tec rep comes, you go to the vault, etc, scene of Shaun getting kidnapped plays out similarly, when you wake up everyone's dead. You get the choice to investigate Shaun's kidnapping if you want, or if not, since your character is a relatively blank slate to encourage role playing. Being forced into a specific character with a specific backstory and specific personality and specific family and specific occupation ruins an extremely large amount of roleplaying potential, this is the minimum that is required to still have some direct connection to the plot.
Overhaul the Institute. Give them an actual goal. Explain what the fuck they're trying to do. Remove the Super Mutants from the Commonwealth entirely. Maybe have a handful near the southern border who migrated from the Capital Wasteland during the BoS's purges of them. The Institute mass producing Super Mutants and dumping them in the Commonwealth for no reason whatsoever was retarded and went against any half-assed attempt Bethesda made to make them anything but the villains; if they're doing FEV research, have them exterminate any Super Mutant they happen to make. Virgil will be the sole Institute-made Super Mutant who managed to escape, maybe change his motivations for leaving depending on whatever they decide to do with the Institute overhaul. I'm not even going to bother going into detail on what else could be done better for the Institute because almost anything is better than the fucking mess Bethesda made with them.
Fix Power Armor. Power armor should be rare, require training to use, and shouldn't be handed to you 10 minutes after leaving the vault. Fix story inconsistencies with T-60 and X-01. Make T-60 either some rare stuff that only went into production very shortly before the bombs dropped or something invented by the BoS post-war. Give lower ranking BoS members T-45 armor, only have Paladins and up in T-60. Change X-01, have a single suit available, add some stuff tying it to Enclave power armor; maybe have it in an ancient long-abandoned Enclave bunker (or have a terminal from the BoS discussing the Enclave's history) mentioning they discovered a prototype of it and used it as the basis for their APA. Remove Raider power armor
I've only gone over the backstory so far, not even getting into gameplay, and I hit the post character limit and had to trim this.

Better roleplaying. You had actual retard dialog if you had less than 4 int I believe. It only got progressively worse until you hit 1 int and then all options were "guh uh gah hahuhhahuh" and other retard babble. NPCs would also react accordingly. You could also ask questions yourself with a little text box so you could get more info than what was provided by the game. Stats and SPECIAL also affected dialog in certain ways.

1/2 had a lot more options for stuff like low Intelligence runs than the later games had, that's what I meant. It's not really something from the system itself, as NV's system could handle that too (and had a handful of low int choices). It would have been more accurate for me to say "handle it like 1/2" instead of saying to use its system, because by just saying to use a system like it I didn't get what I actually meant across properly. But also what >>15543420 said too,
>I'd imagine only important characters having Va's (and animated heads) make it easier to flavor text for random assholes since you don't have to pay someone to say lines for it.
Giving every NPC voiced dialogue for every line has always been a mistake in Bethesda's RPGs, the writing always takes a hit so that they can save money and work on voice acting.

I'd love to see this brought back, since it allows the player to find hidden details through proactive questioning instead of just passively going down the list, and it leaves it to the player to ask about things mentioned in passing. Though I think Bethesda would be scared to try implementing something like this again after their sloppy attempt in Morrowind.

Bug fixes first and foremost.
Nothing matters if the game doesn't work, and vanilla doesn't work.
Second, better performance: even with mid settings it's hard to keep a steady 60 fps thanks to overcrowded city cells and the awful shadow system, also some menus run like ass.
Third, rebalance health scaling w levels for all actors to avoid the "everyone is a bullet sponge" endgame.
Fourth, rewrite the institute into a less idiotic faction, and rewrite the end game to allow for more compromises.
There's a bunch of minor issues too, but those are the major ones IMO.

> I'd rather the NPC dialogue be limited too, so only a few lines are voiced, to enable much more writing and dialogue.
Why do you expect Bethesda to write more AND better?
I would bet they would write more becasue it's cheaper, and much worse because there's less time for each line and less feedback: they might even resort to procedurally generated dialogue for filler.
>Change the player character's backstory to be more open for a better role playing experience.
Blank slate means it's harder to write good dialogue because you can't rely on built in motives and characteristics.
Couple that with step above, and the current writing would look great in comparison.
Unless you plan on cutting out a bunch of content, which honestly could be a good idea.
>Remove the Super Mutants from the Commonwealth entirely.
Then you need a tanky human-like enemy to fill the gap, and giving even more hp to raiders is not a good idea.
>>15543446
>the writing always takes a hit so that they can save money and work on voice acting.
I disagree strongly, because the writing is not better in books, terminal entries, and similar.
Voice acting forces to cut down on volume, but since it can be done in parallel to the actual writing it doesn't steal time from it.
Beth dropped the ball on writing in spite of VA giving them less to write, and it is worrying.

It's so fundamentally flawed that you'd have to basically make it a different game. It follows the Skyrim formula of you having to play it for a while before realizing how fucking shallow it is. The only thing I like about it is the power armor but it's ridiculous how common it and the fusion cores are, allowing you to play the whole game in god mode if you so please. My main gripes are about how little gun variety there is and the modding system being a shallow piece of shit. The randomly generated loot and enemies are just MMO levels of boring and so are the "dungeons" where you fight against the level scaling enemies through a linear tunnel and find the exact same loot that you find everywhere. Enemy variety is also a big fucking mess, just adding a new skin, more health/damage and adding an adjective before the name does not a new enemy make. The quest design for the most part is also MMO levels of boring "go here, kill/loot this, come back and recieve caps." with hardly any stories or intriguing characters. Lockpicking is WORTHLESS because there is nothing behind any locked doors and all the safes have pipe pistols in them. The terminals are mostly useless with very uninteresting and badly written entries in many of them. The dialogue system is a joke and so are the voiced main protags so that my grizzled, scarred old man character sounds like a young man. Many say that the combat system is an improvement and it is in some points but the enemies dodging bullets is bullshit, especially when they do it when you're sniping them with a silenced rifle while unseen. Deathclaws also get stuck into a dodge dance when you shoot at them with a fast enough weapon and I'm pretty sure they have some immunity frames while dodging because they kept dodging my homing missiles even though they exploded in their face. Haven't played the story yet, just dicked around in the wasteland, so can't comment on that but from what I've heard it's not gonna be much better.
I could almost swear that they were going make Fallout 4 have multiplayer and very late into development decided to split it into 2 games because they needed more time to implement it.

Have you guys tried the Survival dificulty?
I'm not sure I get how that mode is suposed to work. The base game was boring as shit since it was braind-dead easy and I restarted with Survival enabled.
My first couple of hours were great. You had enemies you had to fight, others you had to flee, strengthning your economic base is more important and you gotta be carefull instead of sprint running everywhere.
BUT: I get the distinct feeling the game was NOT made for this sort of experience. For the first couple of hours, I got Stalker flashbacks constantly, specifically because everything resembled the Hobo-phase (a bit more boring since you can't quicksave near bandit bases, thus you add a 3-5 minute trek back to your loading screens).
But after playing a couple of hours, Preston gives me a quest to head south and help some settlement. Well, I'm lvl 14, got some half-decent weapons, sure. On the way there, there's the ghoul attacking the brotherhood guy, and you can stop by to do that thing, but even if you press on to the settlement, they'll give you a quest to kill some guys right near the brotherhood guy anyway.
The problem arises when you get near him. Ghouls spawn in dozens and even with some metal armour, two shot you. Some of them even ignore the heavy-armor Paladin and go straight for the player character. From 3 diferent directions. At this point, the closest bed I found was 5 minutes of walking from there. And while you're trying to fight ghouls, there's a chance you'll agro the raiders too so they join in on the fun.
I hit ESC for a minute and got to think about my options:
>suck it up, reload 15 times until the fight goes my way and no raiders are agroo'd, deplete my supplies substantially in doing so
>bring the power armor and trivialize the entire thing back into boring brain-dead easy
I once again recalled Stalker and compared the Exo Skeleton to the power armor and suddendly realized the difference. The Exo is a natural upgrade on your progression. A stepping stone to reaching the Monolith.
The Power Armour however, is a "Skip Fight" button: enter this thing to render all combat moot and progress.
And therein lies the biggest hurdle I found with this game: there's moments where they stack so much shit against you, it's either a clusterfuck of luck and blowing through resources to get through… or you get the Power Armour. Fatman wielding raiders on high ledges? Get Power Armour, or get lucky.
This pattern kept repeating for my next 10 levels, and I'm just curious if there's ever gonna be a time where my character is strong enough to walk around without PA and not get killed with 2-3 shots.

Yes, thanks to infinitely scaling health and finite damage scaling.
Also git gud, the ghoul assault is much easier if you bring an appropriate weapon (such as a combat shotgun w decent mods), use the stairs to get on the elevated walkway on the perimeter, and place mines half-intelligently: if the ghouls are touching you you're doing it wrong, Remember to save some AP to VATS out of a tough spot.

>It follows the Skyrim formula of you having to play it for a while before realizing how fucking shallow it is.
Unlike Skyrim, the combat is ok. The numbers in it are retarded, sure, but everything else in it is the best beth has ever managed, by a long shot.
>My main gripes are about how little gun variety there is and the modding system being a shallow piece of shit.
Even without mods, gun variety is pretty ok and it avoids NV's problem of having gun types with 1 good gun plus 5 inferior variants.
The modding system is shallow for sure.
>Enemy variety is also a big fucking mess, just adding a new skin, more health/damage and adding an adjective before the name does not a new enemy make.
The game needs better AI, in short.

>bring an appropriate weapon
I'm actually having troubles finding ammo, not guns. I must have played for 12 hours and haven't hit Diamond City yet. Probabbly a big mistake. I got an energy rifle from a Synth patrol and that has been serving me well. Not as good against ghouls though.
>place mines half-intelligently
AHAH, no. I played enough Fallout before to know what happens when you place mines around friendlies: they'll step on it, and either blow you up in case you were near or survive, turn around and fill your head with plasma.
At best, I could rush some of the entries in the area, mine them and fall back, but then I find 5 ghouls on the stairs and it's a diceroll wether my nerdy-9-INT character can hit shit before dying.

You will still die several times faster than normal, enemies will take obscene amounts of punishment, and healing from stims will still be slowed significantly if you havent taken the perk for it.

The 2 luck perk should solve that.

The BoS friendlies should never leave the perimeter, place the mines slightly outside on approach and that's one entryway covered.

>the combat is ok
Yes. It's ok, it isn't good enough to carry the whole game though. The game fails in all other aspects. I never ran out of ammo or money after a certain point and since I am a diligent looter in all RPG's I had enough of everything at which point the looting and killing become all but meaningless. The only thing that ate money was upgrades and after those it was nothing since I don't give a shit about the base building. I was just murdering people and only looting the legendaries and I had to repeatedly ask myself why I was even playing. I've explored a pretty big chunk of the wasteland and found maybe 2 areas that were interesting and seemed like they were designed by people and not a computer. I guess the companions are decently made at least if I had to say something positive.

I generally play with Enhanced Shaders ENB because it's the one that is the most consistent all around. I have a soft spot for Blackout, especially when wanting to take screenshots but the high contrast and over-saturation makes some locations and some lighting conditions look like fucking ass. The issue I have with most ENBs is that they make games look like a shitty instagram filter so for the most part I tend to grab one that preserves vanilla atmosphere and edit the preset to my autism.

You can't fix a game that is shit at its core without having to remake it from the ground up. What are the "redeeming" qualities about F4 even?
>the combat
Yeah, it's better than any other Bethesda game to date but it doesn't hold a candle to any half decent RPG shooter or shooter with RPG elements out there
>the world/sandbox
Too bad is not used well
>the weapon customization
Too bad that there are maybe 10 effective combinations of mods, unless you're into it for aesthetics
And that's about it. Bethesda needs to get their head out of their asses and hire a couple of decent writters and for fucks sake they need to invest in a new engine this shit is getting old. If any other company released a game in the state Bethesda games are released their stocks would take a hit, they'd put the franchise on ice for a bit and would have to slash the price of the game within the first month.

Independent ending is shit from storytelling perspective, as the courier is controlled by the player and is blank enough to assume the player is controlling him nearly completely. How the fuck do you go on with that? For example, what would a courier with good karma do? Maintain New Vegas as it is? Expand it? Ape one of the other factions, but in courier's own way? There's too many possibilities and contradictory motivations to make any sense of it. It's "imagine your own plot" situation.

At the time I hoped Legion would've been a mainly military force and only part-time realm.

Her DT sucked balls, and who the fuck needs a Stealth Suit anyway when you can just use a stealth boy instead. What a piece of fucking junk, I'm glad I never used her and always left her alone in the middle of nowhere.

How about just giving her to raiders?

Let her be used and abused by dirty race mixed raiders high on jet, like the piece of junk she is.

You sons of bitches you think you can just get away with that? What kind of bad karma NCR Couriers do you play as?

It's like you want to violate the NAP with your shitty junk of a waifu.

Anon that's what I'm saying. A bad karma NCR Courier is the worst kind. While a bad karma House Courier is obviously the most superior

People that use anything but the default colour for their HUD are worse than Satan.

Alright, which S.T.E.P guide or other place should I use for my next New Vegas experience? I plan on spending 1/2 to a full day modding, so whatever autistic detail you can get on immersion I'm down for

I can think of a few drawfags from here who would draw that kind of stuff.

STEP guides are 90% useless for beginners, they can be a good starting point and source of neat mods but you need to know how to fix shit manually, be ready to cut out mods that don't play nice, and never let your guard down or trust the author not to put in a time bomb saying it's "good practice" or other bullshit: the official STEP guide for skyrim had a mod causing save file corruption in it for something like 3 years, saying it improved stability, nobody bothered to test it, and all it took was one random comment somewhere else to have it removed.
