I'm curious if anyone has played the game heavily loaded with intelligence/charisma and nothing else. Obviously not like the guy who beat it without killing anyone, but is it really possible to talk/hack your way through the game with minimal confrontation? I guess I'm imagining like an intelligence/charisma/luck build with almost no skills in combat.
Well, no, I guess not from a pure self benefit perspective. You might miss the lieutenant's hat, but you'll get captain ironsides hat which is better anyway. Me personally, I like my fallout world with a little more insanity in it, and a rocket powered naval sailing vessel full of crazy robots is just the sort of thing I like to keep around more than whatever minor loot I can keep in a box.
Yeah, I was ok with letting them do their thing on their perch. Perhaps in a DLC we would be able to get them to water. I only attack those that attack me though, for the most part.
Yea I liked the crazy robots but I wasn't sure if there was loot worth taking. The only place I really want to go crazy on is vault 81 (the pristine one?) and Goodneighbor
I haven't made it to the covenant yet or the institute. And I'm still making use of the brotherhood. I'll eventually kill everyone on the airship and airport.
All of a sudden Covenant showed up on my map as an undiscovered location. I'm not sure when or why that happened.
I'm in your system. It's a pretty interesting quest. Be careful which companions you take there though
Oh and I murdered everyone in the covenant as well. I just stumbled on it and thought it was another raider place until the people had names when I went into vats. They opened fire on me though first
Maybe if you spent less time building sweet forts and treehouses you wouldn't need so much help with the actual game.
Yea I really want to murk those two places. Think I'll need to take my super mutant with me though. Could see human companions not liking that.
I think I might do some save scrubbing and just destroy Diamond City. Everyone except Piper's little sister gets murdered
I really want to join the BoS as they have the best equipment and shit for my not-highly-specialized player but holy shit are those guys asshats. They go out of their way to be dicks every time you talk to them. I keep giving them another chance and they're all "OBEY." And their leader looks like a hipster douche. Railroad is tempting but I think my next character will be a true stealth specialist so I'll save them for that playthrough.
yes. its close to skyrim. i have a few problems with the game but overall id still give it a 8.5-9/10
Settlement building can be pretty much ignored, but you will want to upgrade armor and weapons. To do that you'll need to have the right components which you get by finding and scrapping random items.
I just feel like we are at a point in gaming where when games are packed with content, it should be good content. I can't even play Fallout anymore and I haven't even been to the institute. Im not hard to please, I mean, ffs im having a great time with CoD and I just started playing Dragin Age which is a great time thus far. Fallout is a disappointment. Hopefully next time, less minecraft and more quest variation and better gunplay mechanics. But I tend to think after the eleventy trillion dorrars it made, Bethesda isnt gonna prioritize thise things going forward. Oh and btw, I wouldn't be surprised if even now I have more hours logged on Destiny than you do. I enjoyed it for a long time but that half ass 40 dollar expansion, and the fact they're killing support for a year closes the book for me on that game.
I have no idea if this has been posted in this thread before, but I just saw it today, laughed, and thought it might answer your question. Minor spoiler warnings I suppose
Fallout has never had good gunplay. It's like they want to force you to use VATS. Much like with Bioshock, Fallout suffers from a serious lack of auto aim (or whatever you want to call the magnetism most fps franchises use). I think you've had more play time than me since you started posting in that thread (just checked, i'm at 856 hours, you're at 769). I haven't dedicated as much time to it as others because I basically refuse to get on there just to do Nightfalls/Strikes/Bounties. I will respectfully disagree with your opinion of TTK, I thought it was a significant step in the right direction in many ways despite the "year off", which is probably in the best interest of the series as a whole. If this was an instance of a sub based game not spitting out content I would understand the complaint but that's not what's happening. I mean, who really gives a shit about $40 anyway.
I think you and I are certainly the polar opposite where Destiny is concerned. Im just tired of Destiny feeling like its almost there.
Me too, but that doesn't mean I have stopped enjoying it. I have faith in Bungie, just not Activision.
1276 rust with 1752 achiever with 2091 gayvid with 904 i should be ashamed of letting david be ahead of me.
Idk how chiever finds time to jerk off *edu nvm he prolly dies like me and rubs one out every time Odin joins the party
Seeing this has me suprised because I thought I probably put more hours in Destiny than I had any other game. But across 5 characters in Borderlands 2, I had 30 days played
That shit has to include time spent in orbit. I have a pretty bad habit of just leaving my console on. But either way, yeah, I've definitely spent some time with that game.
Just started my second character after about 3 days of gameplay, game is much easier to manage on the second go-round. Going strictly stealth type build. Believe my SPECIAL this go-around was 2721583, stopped one short of each perk in the tree that I wanted in each category to account for Bobbleheads. Wanted to make my main settlement at the Castle this time instead of sanctuary but quickly realizing I'm going to have to do a decent amount of gameplay before I'm strong enough to take on that Mirelurk Queen.
If I've just overlooked it I apologize in advance, but luck in general, and idiot savant in particular, is pretty op. It doesn't even seem to matter what your intelligence is, it seems to proc all the damn time, and getting +1997 exp because I slept in a bed and finished an easy minuteman quest is great. and if you like to use vats, the critical synergy in the luck tree can get pretty silly, I might go with one character just straight gonzo with luck, and frankly I think almost any build I make is gonna have to incorporate a bit of it. even bloody mess, which I used to hate in the first two games because it made it so damn hard to find the loot on the body, is nice for basically anything with general damage increase, and if you go nuts, turning your enemies into grenades when you shoot them. I love stealth characters and its my go to initial type for fallout games, so you do you allothersnsused , but talking about character builds just got me thinking out loud and somehow I ended out thinking of almost the exact opposite, a kamikaze fool, just rampaging through the wasteland like a force of nature, inexplicable and absurd. might not be enough to keep the thread alive, but might as well give it a shot
Charge the paddles, let's give it one more try I understand folks who don't care for it, but I'm pretty damn happy with quite a few of my settlements. I've enjoyed the post apocalypse sims aspect of the game, had a lot of fun playing amateur architect and creating some fallout-ish structures and communities. I don't think I'll bother with it for replays with narrower focused characters, but it's been a fun part of the game for me to explore.
I took a break for a week or so when my destiny itch came back. Gonna pop fallout back in tonight most likely.
Couple of nice convenience additions in this latest patch, like a simple status window telling you what your settlers are assigned to, and the ability to build workshops in home plate (probably says a lot about me with how happy I am to avoid a loading screen, also, yay!)
I officially cant finish this game. Went to liberate the castle and killed all the lobsters, got to the point where it asked me to power on some device, device required a large generator that needs 10 pieces of aluminum to construct. I has 6, destroyed everthing in the castle and got one more. Shut game off, will never turn back on. Trading for dying light and the new dlc asap.
