Anyone knows how can we open the dev console now? I have it enabled in all the config files but the key doesn't seem to work. Has anyone used the console?

Funny story.


Gunners have vertibirds, its rare, but I got attacked by one when I raided one of their camps -_-, damn thing was...quite easy to kill actually just keep shooting it.

Quad barrel guided rocket launchers are your friend.

Im tempted to get one, I have a triple barrel one, problem is it weighs over 30+ pounds, not even the fatman weights that much.


I gotta make a comment about combat, I hate how you can't take cover, well, you can, but its very poorly implemented, and you take damage while in cover anyway.

THAT and the endless supplies of grenades the enemies have, or in the rare child of atom enemies, NUKE GRENADES, SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE FUCK!. They throw it so accurately and so fast and far that I think im playing STALKER for christ sakes.

Just decked my armors to reduce explosion damage, Im sick of dying to raining grenades.

Also, Gamma guns are useless when you use it, but when enemies use it you die, very quickly. cuz its RADIATION damage, and radiation seems to only work on you! , seriously, thats fucked up.



On a side note, I feel the gunplay is much more fluid, I don't have to rely on VATS anymore, because the aiming inst as clunky as NEw vegas or FO3 were at certain occasion, that and you don't have to rely much on criticals, and headshots on vats only EVER work when you got Macgready's killshot perk (Flat 20% chance of headshot accuracy in VATS is a god-send).

[SIERRA-116]

Perhaps you used the Gamma Guns on the Children of Atom that were Nuka Grenading you.

They have high resistance to Radiation. My Advice? Use a Hazmat suit and prioritize like a bat out of hell those not using Gamma Guns.

Meh, I killed them all with my 50.cal hunting rifle, (Rank 3 scrounger lets me find 50.cal bullets in packs of 10 at minimum in most containers, got like a thousand of them already)

Nah, I tested it on raiders, its radiation, thats about it, Raiders even without much resistance to rads, still take forever to die to a gamma gun.

Probably because theres probably a base threshold for all humanoids on rads, like the 1000 rad maximum in FO3 and NV.



What build are you guys making?

Im a semi auto expert here

no explosives, nothing, just combat rifles and hunting rifles, also shotguns.

with some lockpicking here and there.

Solved the console issue; seems the game didn't like my spanish keyboard. Had to set it to english, and all solved.

Just found out many foods give you far more benefits than just healing. Those mirelurk omelettes that restore AP are a godsend when you find yourself about to get gangraped by a legion of PA-ed raiders.

Killed a legendary raider a while ago, and what did I got? A ''Never Ending Combat Shotgun''; it seems you CAN actually have Bottomless Magazines and WITHOUT relying on cheats. That's a new one...

Nonetheless, I just gave it to one of my settlers; reloading has never been an issue for me so I didn't want to let go off my Lucky Combat Shotgun.

However, it seems I lost Dogmeat; I sent him home (Red Rocket) after a quest where he was needed, and he never arrived. He must've gotten stuck on the way there, and it was quite far away. Wonder what can I do to find him...

^ Try build a doghouse, dogmeat will rest in it.

So I just completed Fallout 4's main story, and replay the game again.

Fallout 4 take a huge leap from Fallout 3 and New Vegas in term of gunplay, the shooting is smooth and most of the things are improved. I like the change about VATS and you have to make decision quick.

Animation is also improved, the characters feel more lively, Deathclaws and Ghouls feels more scary, gun reloading animation improved and executions are included.

Artstyle of 4 are much Modernized but remain nostalgia, they actually bring back the tight Vault suit from Fallout 1 and 2. Power armours are actually similar to power armours like 1 and 2(they make you look taller and bigger). However some of the weapon designs bothers me, left handed weapons(hunting rifles and laser musket)? Are we back at 2002? Weird looking Assault rifle, what happened to Ar-15 rifle from New Vegas? Though I do love the redesigned laser guns, plasma and Gauss rifle.

The story of Fallout 4 isnt very "Spacial" but the characters actually have "life" that make you feel attracted to them. However the facial expression still feel kinda dull, could be improved. I dont have much say about voiced protagonist. However, what it also lacking is the freedom to be evil. This game kinda forces you to be a good guy, you can be a jerk but you still have to do good objective.

Feature in Fallout 4 is like "Take one step forward and another step backward", the crafting does make junks more useful but you cant actually make weapons yourself. You had to pick them up or get them from people you killed to mod it. Also few things that bother me is, no reputation system? No companion tracker on map? RNG power armour spawn based on level(or luck?)? And no ammo crafting/conversion.

Also not sure if I am lucky, i didnt encounter game breaking bug in my playthrough. So far I enjoyed Fallout 4, my own personal score for it is 8.5/10 could be better. Now we wait for DLCs and other Fallout from Osidian studio.

Installed some mod to make the game's experience better, I do suggest darker night and realistic indoor lighting.

Loving this game so far. Could care less about story (LOL I HAVE KID), I LOVE the setting and gameplay so far. Hoping to find an interesting female companion soon. The crafting is always a lot of fun (reminds me of The Last of Us), and the town building is just like Disney Infinity.

[Scrapmaster]

Im the worst dad in the world.


All my workshops have turned into sprawling farms with gun's shit, heavy machinegun and laser turrets defending and more than 8 people in each.

Meanwhile my son is...somewhere, I know where he is...but...why bother

Can't exactly do local leader because I got like 2 in charisma (1 due to a bobblehead XD)

[SIERRA-116]

Trust me, if you want good Settlements, you NEED Local Leader.

[Scrapmaster]

I ain't wasting 4 lvls just in charisma, hellllllllllll no.

I never used charisma in any fallout game, and im not about to start using it now

This is the best its gonna get it seems.

[Feathers]

I actually decided to get a chunk of charisma this time because I never tried before haha.

[SIERRA-116]

Unfortunately, SPECIAL Checks now seem to be focused on Charisma. People are annoyed with that.

[Scrapmaster]

Not a problem on pc. And I dont mean mods, you can quicksave mid dialogue. And do those speech checks even with 1 point in charisma, basically just keep quickloading until you get a success on that red speech check.

Sad that they ruined the perfectly functional and balanced speech and barter in new vegas

[SIERRA-116]

You can quicksave on console too.

[Scrapmaster]

You can quicksave on console too.

Wait whut? thats new, you couldn't in earlier games.

[SIERRA-116]

Yup. Pause and click quicksave in the menu. Very handy mid-conversation.

[SIERRA-116]

So, I made a Fort.
