    Found a “Guns and Bullets” magazine in Doom.

    After failing a previous attempt, I finally finished Fallout 4 + DLC's with No Weapons, No Armor, Permadeath and on Survival Difficulty. This is how I did it.

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 07:25 AM PDT

    After 13 parts I finally managed to beat the game without using any weapons aside from bare fists, with no clothing items that give me any damage or rad resistance, no companions, on Survival difficulty and without dying once.

    Fallout 4 gives a lot of options in playstyle straight from the beginning and so I made sure my character build was made so I could take a few essential perks at the very beginning, together with making sure that other perks were only a few SPECIAL points away.

    So I started off with:

    • Strength 9 (For Rooted)
    • Perception 1
    • Endurance 1
    • Charisma 1
    • Intelligence 6 (At 7 you have Chemist and at 8 you have Robotics expert, both are vital.)
    • Agility 9 (For Blitz, the single most important perk for the entire run as well as sneaking in general.)
    • Luck 1

    I started off the run by helping Preston and the others in Concord, saving them from the raiders by carefully using sneak attacks and Blitz. The Deathclaw can easily be taken care of by acting as bait in a nearby building and letting Preston take potshots until he finally kills it. I did this because I wanted to go for the Minutemen ending, seeing as this one is the easiest by far.

    After that, I helped them out at Sanctuary and started doing settlement quests for Preston, sneaking to the settlements at night because this was much safer.

    I also did the beginning of Diamond City Blues during this, up to the point where you disrupt the Chems meetup. This was done purely to get the huge amount of drugs that were a huge help for the rest of the run. Jet especially is vital for running away from certain death situations and that's why I also said that Chemist is so important for the run.

    After taking enough settlements, I started Retaking the Castle. This proved to be the first major hurdle of the run. As the Mirelurk Queen was very strong and every minutemen who wasn't essential died within seconds. In the end, It turned into a long game of cat and mouse as I had to keep the Queen's attention from Preston and the one other essential minuteman away long enough for them to get up and damage her. Once she was dead, it was time to focus on the main quest.

    For the main quest, I immediately went to save Nick Valentine from Vault 114. At this point, I had gotten enough drugs and perks to make the game a lot more managable. Using sneak attacks and different drugs whenever needed. I kept this playstyle for the whole playthrough, though there were still a few quests that were difficult in particular:

    • Hunter/Hunted: I used the recall code you can get from Mama Murphy so the Courser was no issue, the main problem was getting to him. Greentech Genetics is an incredibly hectic building to sneak through and in the end I had to run past the majority of the enemies in a Jet-fueled sprint.

    • Defend the Castle: The Institute's attack on the Castle proved to be another difficult quest. It basically being a harder version of Retaking the Castle as waves and waves of different enemies came in and the Minutemen who were there to help quickly got slaughtered. Fortunately, Preston was still essential and by keeping the attention on himself, I managed to kill almost everyone with sneak attacks.

    • Restoring Order: This quest was only difficult because of a huge mistake on my part. By the time I did the Automatron DLC, I already had Robotics Expert, making robot enemies trivial as long as I could sneak up on them. The problem was however that I forgot I needed to get Master-level Hacker to skip the final major fight against the Mechanist's robots and had to fight it because of that. It was a close call, with a bunch of robots all around and constantly using Jet & Stealth boys I had stocked up. In the end I managed but only just.

    • Taken for a Ride: The final DLC went by quite smoothly, aside from the very beginning where I took on Colter without the use of the Thirst Zapper. To do this, I had to use critical strikes over and over again as that's the only way to damage him without using the water gun. The best way to do this was with Overdrive, which gives you a 1 in 4 chance to score a critical hit even outside of VATS, no matter your Luck. Though I tried my best to prepare and did a bunch of test runs with different characters, the entire fight still took about 2 hours and 15 minutes, leaving me with no food, water, drugs, 80% of my health gone to rads, dying of thirst, only able to walk due to exhaustion, a crippled arm, and multiple addictions.

    In the end, if you're looking to do a fun challenge run of the game and are up for something difficult. I highly recommend it! I also have some tips for those that do want to try:

    • Do Diamond City Blues as early as possible because the drugs you get from that help A LOT.

    • Try to avoid dangerous situations and dont be afraid to back off to retry later.

    • Myrna in Diamond City sells shipments of Fertilizer and shipments of Plastic, allowing you to make your own Jet when needed. You'll run out soon without it.

    • Get used to the stealth system in this game and use Blitz to help with this by teleporting in between enemies when you can.

    • Level up Sneak immediately to the point where you no longer trigger mines, you don't want your run to end because you accidentally didn't see one (like my previous one did).

    For those who enjoy this sort of thing, I'm currently also doing a challenge run of Fallout New Vegas where I don't allow myself to be hit once by anything

    If I wanted to roleplay as the descendent of the 26th American President, Theodore Roosevelt, how should my character be built?

    Don't know if this'll be for NV or 4, but the idea of running around the wastes with the policy of "Speak softly and carry a big stick" and beating the shit out of raiders with said stick sounds neat

    Just played fallout 1 for the first time so far it’s..

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 08:50 PM PDT

    Interesting, I really didn't know what to expect even seeing some gameplay before but it's just interesting.

    It holds up really well for a game that's nearly twice my age.

    I don't want any spoilers but mainly due to the fact the games so old it's confusing as hell. I would really appreciate some tips on where to go from the beginning and some help understanding some of the games mechanics. Also just some general tips some people might not know.

    Fallout Parody: Letter of Suggestion to Surrender to Elder Elijah

    Posted: 22 Mar 2020 03:13 AM PDT

    This article is a parody based on the "Battle of Helios One" between the Brotherhood of Steel and the New California Republic mentioned in the Fallout: New Vegas plot, which is not in line with the actual game plot.

    It also parodied Mao Zedong's letter of Suggestion to Surrender to Nationalist Army Commander Du Yu Ming in 1949 during Second Civil War of China.

    ______________________________________________________________

    This is the letter to Elder Elijah, Paladin McNamara, Paladin Hardin and all Mojave Brotherhood of Steel members in Helios One power station:

    You have now reached the point where you will fail. The Ramos squadron has been annihilated on the evening of the 15th. The Lorenzo squadron has turned around and fled. You have no hope of moving closer to them. Do you want to break through? The Republican Army is in all directions. How can you break out? What are the results of your attempts to break out these days? Your power armors and energy weapons are also useless. We have more power armors and energy weapons than you. This is the fortifications and explosives. Look at the battles these days. Isn't it ten times more powerful than your power armors and energy weapons? Your Taggart squad is over, and your unit's casualties is more than half.

    Although you forced many Scribe and minors from the Hidden Valley into the army, how can these people fight? Over the past ten days or so, under our siege and heavy blows, your position has shrunk greatly. You only have such a small place, less than a mile straight, so many people crowd together, and we can kill a bunch of you with one shell. Your wounded soldiers and family members of the army follow you to grief. Your soldiers and many cadres don't want to fight anymore. Your Paladins, Knights, Scribees, should be considerate of the mood of your subordinates and family members, cherish their lives, and stop making them unnecessary sacrifice.

    Now that Ramos has been wiped out, Lorenzo escapes to Bunker No. 13, and we can concentrate several times your strength on you. We have only forty days in this battle. You have lost ten squads of Sato, eleven squads of Ramos, eight squads of Taggart, five squads of Stanton and two squads of Watkins. A squad at the Eldorado gas station, a squad at Neil's shack, you lost a total of thirty-eight squads. Except that Schuler led three and a half squads to surrender and Torres led one squad to surrender, the remaining thirty-three and half squads were all wiped out by our army.

    You have already seen the end of Saito, Ramos and Tagget. You should follow the example of Elder Maxson IV of the Lost Hill and immediately order the entire army to lay down their weapons and stop resistance. We will guarantee the safety of your senior officers and all officers and men. This is your only option to survive. Think about it! If you think it's good, just do it. If you still want to fight, then fight again, after all, you are going to be resolved.

    Do you like the way Bethesda did the factions of fallout 4?

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 10:53 PM PDT

    Like how you get into their ranks, how you meet them, what they do after they defeat their big bad, basically anything related to the faction.

    Posted: 22 Mar 2020 01:02 AM PDT

    Hi, saw the game on sale and I'd like to try it again, played it a bit on PC but l couldn't run it properly and l wonder:

    1) Is the performance good enough on a regular PS4?

    2) Are there hair/armor mods on PS4?

    3) Is there a website to see the mods before buying it?

    4) Are there game breaking known issues

    5) Is the GOTY edition worth it?

    Thanks for your help :)

    Edit: thanks again to everyone, seems like there's everything l wanted and more!

    Is fallout 76 fun?

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 11:24 PM PDT

    I don't care about bugs or the subscription services or anything like that, all I want to know is if the base game is fun/worth it to play. Is the story any good, does the multiplayer affect the game that much? Basically is it worth the 60 or however many dollars to buy.

    Remaster Fallout 1 & 2

    Posted: 22 Mar 2020 02:41 AM PDT

    I think it'd be relatively cool to see the old fallouts remastered in a first/third Perspective, I play on Xbox mainly and I've dumped hundreds of hours into Fallout 3, NV, and four, (I have played 76 but I noped out of it) and it would be cool to play the old ones to have something new and cool, but it would also be cool to have a whole entire solo game but that's not the point.

    Did the nuclear blasts from the great war melt the ice caps?

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 10:44 PM PDT

    And if so, how would things look like 100 years after in America? Couldn't the flooding have destroyed American cities, causing a bigger problem than the blasts?

    "Games like Fallout give us an opportunity to consider how our actions now shape the future and to make decisions that push us away from any post-apocalyptic scenario becoming a reality"

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 09:46 AM PDT

    THR published a very interesting article regarding how games apocalyptic scenarios are a reflection of how our actions are the result of the end of the world, not the event:

    A pandemic has swept the world. Supplies are running short, and we're forced to make do with what we have. The streets are empty, save for those who traverse them out of need or foolishness. True leadership has all but disappeared, and we're beginning to understand just how elusory money is. And then there are the people.

    If they're not physically infected, then a certain kind of mental degradation is setting in as this new world drives them with a compulsion to devour, making quick work of store supplies and leaving empty shelves in their wake. They are, as they have always been, consumers to the end. And what's that sound? A haunting rendition of John Lennon's "Imagine" serving as the only soundtrack in this hell.

    Fallout offers a look at the aftermath of nuclear devastation following The Great War. Far Cry: New Dawn also features the aftermath of nuclear war, though this time it was a war fought against doomsday cultists rather than soldiers. Mad Max, a hidden gem in the current gaming cycle inspired by George Miller's film series, sees the world descend into madness after gas and water shortages. Horizon: Zero Dawn finds mankind laid low and forced to revert to primitive ways after the A.I. meant to save the world goes out of control. Days Gone features a world overrun by Freaker Hordes, not-quite zombies and not quite human, while those that remain of humanity are driven by death wishes and hedonism. And The Last of Us, the best of this bunch, features an outbreak of mutant Cordyceps fungus that has left most of humanity transformed, and the rest hurting and hostile. Those are the ways the world ends, and they certainly give T.S. Eliot a run for his money.

    Maybe for the first time in decades since the cold war, we are living again on a look-a-like apocalyptic situation caused by men, by a single chinese man decided to eat bat soup, and because of that, mother nature decided to punish humanity.

    This another reminder to humanity, that, all someone has to do to end the world, is just push a button.

    Looking for a good fallout ttrpg

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 09:45 PM PDT

    Im looking for a good tabletop suggestion for a D&D style rpg but set in the fallout universe and uses a system that feels authentic to the video games (Specifically Fo:NV). I know there's something called Fo: Wasteland warfare but i don't personally know anyone who has it. I Also know pathfinder/starfinder have a conversion but i don't know if there system translates to what im looking for. Alternatively, and what i have currently been doing is trying to make a homebrew system but the best i can translate is the S.P.E.C.I.A.L stat system, beyond that im stuck. Any suggestions?

    [F4] Noob here. I feel like I'm just wandering around and getting my ass kicked.

    Posted: 21 Mar 2020 02:54 PM PDT

    I'm at Level 15, but I have no idea how to upgrade from here, I have shitty armor and it's getting harder and harder to beat the missions so I've been wandering around trying to level up through easier side quests. Not sure I'm doing this right. Also, haven't been making settlements happy or anything, I'm just trying to progress the story.

    Any advice appreciated!
