Fallout breaks. I spend hours playing, avoiding everything that can cause major issues (such as settlements), only to have the Companion AI screw up completely and can't stop them from standing two inches away from me at all times, walking, running and stealth. I'm done. I'm done trying to fix everything and I'm done trying to play, because it will always break at some point. No matter what you do to try and alleviate the plethora of issues this game has, does it ever truly make any difference? You potentially fix one thing and another breaks anyway. It's madness. It always ends the same way. Me pissed off and feeling like I've wasted so many hours, so yeah that's uninstalled for the final time and I won't bother again. Time to play something that won't cause a controller fling lol.

Edit: I shouldn't reply when half asleep. Totally misread what was there lol.

I've always thought it quite strange that every weapon you pick up is in perfect working condition without any need for refurbishment. The idea is fairly simple (at least from an idea point of view, but not sure of the technical side of things). Not utilising a repair system such as New Vegas, but adding "broken" junk weapons into the loot tables. Basic broken weapons beyond repair, that can be scrapped for resources or sold for a few caps. They could use the same models without modifying them to look broken. Classed as a junk item with varying resources when scrapped. I know you can scrap functional weapons, but finding the odd broken one in a container mixes it up a little. Some weapons have been in containers for decades, yet they still work perfectly. Finding the occasional buggered one makes sense. Too little, too much? Just wondering about thoughts and whether or not this is either interesting or possible to pull off. I can't make this myself sadly, as I have no PC but perhaps it sparks some interest for somebody else. =)

I've been using CROSS Crit Gore-verhaul for nearly 100 hours and it's fantastic. It only works when a crit happens on biological enemies such as Deathclaws, humans and Super Mutants. You can change it via in-game holotape (or MCM on PC, I assume) so that the effect occurs on every death though. Definitely worth a download!

If stealth is too easy, it's definitely worth trying out Search and Destroy. I'm loving it so far, makes the game far more realistic and dynamic, with groups noticing nearby gunfire and going to investigate (even if it isn't yours!).

Just wondering if anyone here has found any decoration and/or building packs that have Raider themed bits and pieces. More than vanilla's paltry offering of a few spiky things and cages. Even more so, themed within the Nuka World factions. I would love to build a proper Pack settlement, all bright and crazy, random colours everywhere. But most of the building mods just add vanilla stuff, such as swimming pools and housing. Children of Atom styled things would also be welcomed, as I'm leaning towards feeling Atom's Embrace as time passes. I know, I'm on Xbox asking a PC forum. I just don't use Discord and have exhausted my search capabilities. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, it makes sense that the other enemies notice their friends wandering about looking for somebody. It would be weirder if they didn't.

Yeah, it's doesn't necessarily fit but it makes a nice sound and overall, it's a great weapon (made even better by Weapons Overhaul Redux). Always weird development choices in Bethesda games. Surely the return of the Chinese Assault Rifle would have been a better fit? Considering it was in previous games and available in other parts of the US at the time. The occasional rifle could have made its way across the country. But yes, for now the problem isn't quite so annoying as with WO-R, I can simply reload the weapon with the same ammo, using an ammo swap and it resets the RoF. Thankfully. Still a pain, albeit less of one now.

If you're not interested in standard quests, then Fallout 4-76 is probably a good shout. It removes pretty much everything and gives you freedom to do what you want without following the main quest line. As for references to Shaun, it's a hard thing to avoid if you're not using a complete overhaul such as 4-76 or some form of main quest removal, because it's necessary to progress through the story.

The RoF bug is an automatic weapon (the Handmade Rifle, for instance) will randomly increase its Rate of Fire by a rather large amount, typically ending up in the 300s. This might sound like a good thing, but when your 90 RoF rifle fires, the sounds and animations are all screwy, not to mention it's very immersion-breaking (at least for me). "Like an automatic radium rifle, the handmade rifle with an automatic receiver will occasionally have a glitched high fire rate; i.e., with the powerful automatic receiver, the fire rate may be 113, or 374. [verified]" This has been a vanilla issue for as long as I can remember and happens across any mod weapons too. I recently experienced this problem with Wasteland Melody's Service Rifle. If you haven't experienced it, then I think you're very lucky, because it annoys me on a regular basis lol.

Is this ever going to be fixed? It happens constantly and I'm getting sick of having to swap out receivers time and time again just to sort out this ancient bug that never got squashed (as with most Bethesda games).

Ah, the snapping on the sides. I recall something about it being tricky to do and that's why SWG doesn't have that function. But my memory is spotty at best. It could well be possible now with people learning more ways to create mods. The sheet metal is indeed missing, but you could use Workshop Rearranged to place some metal and/or wood wall panels (not actual walls, but various panels within the mod for "repairing" holes in structures). It's not a perfect solution, but could perhaps give you something close to what you want while waiting.

What details does SWG miss exactly? To me, they are a perfect replica of vanilla windmills, from what I can gather. Multiple styles, airplane and junk, all snapping. Just curious why they aren't good enough, I suppose lol.

Yeah, it's frustrating. While I don't mind these mechanics being present, the lack of a toggle on/off option for certain things in games always annoys me lol. But there is an increasing amount of this hand holding in Bethesda games, as the years progress. Some of it due to the target audience being much younger than myself (as an example) and I think there are a lot of bad choices during development. But I digress, before I ramble off topic too much! Hopefully there is an answer, as you say. I'm trying out Anti Auto Aim on Beth.net, but it seems to work a little too random rather than constant. Shame you can't get a peek at the .ini lines used, to compare it with Disable Magnetism. The joys of being on console. Best of luck with your aiming lol.

Workshop Rearranged has them.
