  1. I think the water begging npcs actually show up in your settlements eventually and even that prisoner npc the super mutants haul around even if you can't get the dialogue after killing all the super mutants they run straight to sanctuary and just stand there for a while. I can see why it would be a good idea to recruit those unique npcs though because they are always in danger of friendly fire from the player. The fat man launcher comes to mind first because sometimes you just wanna wipe those raiders off the face of the earth or take down a deathclaw and be on your way but nope those two idiots standing around the campfire talkin bout mirelurk sammiches just had to be there didn't they? Once you get all of them recruited it is just the chems vendors and that one gunner guarded vendor dreth oh and some other chems vendor and another vendor. Dreth actually seems like she was supposed to have dialogue based on the options you get talking to her but for some reason they left it out.

  2. The modern firearms mod has one with many options for it but you will have to "fix" the modern firearms mod so it doesn't screw up your game. Just search my posts for a recent thread where I posted what to do in order to fix it with FO4EDIT. The best function it offers is the ability to switch between single fire and auto fire but I am hoping all these uber detailed gun modders on nexus get together and find a way to use F4SE to do fire mod selection and add in additional types like three round burst or switch weapon mode too like switch to underbarrel masterkey or underbarrel grenade launcher like the modern firearms mod does but without the screwy way it does it. The MF mod can switch fire modes because it just exchanges whatever weapon you have equipped with an exact duplicate only with a different receiver but if you have two of the same base gun in your inventory it won't switch so if someone can do it with F4SE that would fix the issue and maybe these uber gun modders around here can remake the MF mod somehow hopefully anyway. Would be nice to have this kind of mod that changes ALL vanilla guns to work with a fire mod switch and have modded guns too like a framework mod. We already have armorsmith extended and weaponsmith extended mods so this fire mode thing would fit right in.

     

    The only problem with the m249 in the MF mod right now is the 100 round 5.56 clip it blocks out the player view unless they aim down the sights. There are two 1st person animation types to try and fix this but they both don't quite do the job so I just avoid that 100 round clip and go for 200 round box clip or 100 round .308 box clip instead oh and we don't have any custom reload animations for that mod either. Dam it would be badass to see an m249 reloading properly:-)

     

    Be warned once you sort out the MF mod and get it working you will get all OCD trying to get juuuuuuuust right firing sounds. After using the P90 mod I am getting spoiled on all the sound details for reloading and stuff and not having it for any of the MF mod guns lol.

  3. There is an alternate start mod on nexus you might take a look at that for some inspiration. I was hoping someone would make a mod where he didn't kill the player spouse but instead lied to her and said the player was dead so she leaves with them and lives out her life in the institute raising shaun. The only problem is all the dialogue would have to change about kellogg that has anything to do with saying he killed her.

  4. I just discovered there is a vanilla version esp from the mod I linked to here and it doesn't have any requirements for other mods YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I may have kinda sorta answered my own gripe er question:-)

  5. I pick up maccreepy and give him a desert tan camo beowulf gun from skibs gun mods and some kewl combat armor he repays me by sneaking directly in front of me while I am sneaking and trying to snipe winlock and barnes and pals at the edge of their bridge outpost. I just watch through a scope in disbelief as he sneaks back and forth directly in front of me instead of staying off to the side and taking shots like he should be doing. Companion AI in F4 is just plain crap they can't fight they can't figure out there is a ghoul right in front of them until it hits them and they won't fight if you leave them waiting somewhere.

  6. I won't play fallout 3 or NV because of dogmeat I don't want to see animals die and then puppy replacements show up wtf? I don't think you can leave dogmeat at your player home in fallout 3 or nv can you? you can leave dogmeat at sanctuary in fallout 4 and it really sucks how he is involved in the main quest later on I hate that. Beth just can't make a game where you go off and do whatever the hell you want to do, oh no we have to do it their annoying crap way every time. Even worse than dogmeat that wounded dog encounter during the part of the main quest to follow dogmeat and he attacks the wounded dog wtf? Cringe worthy stuff WHY is it in there?

  7. Why are you using scrapper corpse highlighting when you also have westek mod installed? Just switch to thermal after the fight and find everything easily. You could probably do without some of those mods that just tweak things here and there minor stuff. Try to reserve five slots for major mods that may come out in the future just in case who knows what people will make for this game in the next year. Most of the games for this year are going to suck and are sucking so people are just going back to games like this and some online games probably overwatch and we get another call of doody time grind at the end of the year. Gaming is gonna be really boring for a while unless you like some of those boring games.

  8. The faces of asian npcs in this game are total crap they look worse than awful I am not asian but if I was I would have wrote a dirty letter to beth already about it. I wouldn't be surprised of someone did that already too. Why are their faces so dam screwed up? The eyes are so far apart they are about to bust out of the face and go flying off in opposite directions lol the noses look worse than michael jackson wth? Doctor amari for example doesn't even look japanese and neither does kasumi or her mom. I have to think the people at beth drink a lot while working there is no other explanation for it.

     

    Has anyone fixed these faces yet? I found this mod http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/9363/? which helps a lot but it requires a bunch of mods I wouldn't touch with a barge pole and I still can't install CBBE yet I am waiting (probably forever) for some fixes to it like dismemberment and texture fixes. I'm gonna try editing out the master file requirements with FO4EDIT and then go into CK and see if I can't fix it somehow so only that fancy hair mod is needed. Talking to Dr. amari is really creepy and other npcs too. Almost all of them look like a smooshed clay sculpture in a kindergarten class.

  9. I logged out and closed my browser I have it set to not remember history or cookies and stuff. Restarted my computer browsed nexus for a while without logging in and everything seems ok. Logged in and same so maybe something going on with cookies like you said or it was coincidence I signed off the moment something was fixed somewhere else like cloudflare or wherever.

  10. I don't think anyone will ever actually start WWIII there is just too much money to be made scaring people into thinking it will happen. First it was we need more nukes to counter their nukes now it is no longer mutually assured destruction it is instead partially assured destruction thanks to all forms of missile defense and EMP devices. So the new arms race is improved and advanced nukes that can evade defenses and missile defense that can counter those advanced nukes so you see where this is going? cat and mouse forever like virus and anti virus it will never end just MOAR money goes into it so it will go on forever. The military industrial complex has been around for thousands of years just as long as humans have been able to make large amounts of weapons and have large guberments to use them. Someday there will be the threat of interplanetary WWIII not just this world yet the same arms race will go on and on. Until the passions of humanity actually change we will be doomed to repeat our collective stupidity over and over again more like insanity though.

  11. That tape said the female agent was going to get paid for the launch codes but we don't know by who. The tape implies that the bombs had already fallen when the two people in that room had their confrontation so who would be able to pay anyone anything after WWIII and why would anyone money be worth anything at that point? I find the whole thing very strange or badly written.

  12. Yeah the wikis found from google search say vault tec started the war but it seems like the enclave may have played a part in it too they were all master race butthurtz about everything and wanted to get rid of everyone else. All this un specific plot stuff is yet another reason why I think the next fallout game will be a reboot. They have a great opportunity here to tell the whole story with multiple starts either as some character hanging out with the troops that eventually become the BoS or as a member of the enclave or a member of vault tec or whatever. Tell us the whole story and let us play it out this time no more stuck in a vault for hundreds of years crap.

     

    If we get another fallout game it would be an extreme bore fest if it started out the same way all the others have. Of course that would line up with beth current strategy of turn everything into a dam MMO and micro transaction us to death for it. I seriously doubt we will ever get another single player game out of them and most likely we will get some VR garbage in the near future. No I am not going to wear some stupid thing on my face and get eyeball herpies or whatever you call it from not wearing a VR goggles jimmy hat every single time I put the things on! Where am I gonna buy those jimmy hats the corner gas station? Oh thats right I have to order them from amazon and wait two weeks for the slower than slow post office to gripe about not getting enough business while taking forever to deliver them because UPS shipping is extremely expensive or dropped off at the last minute to the post office anyway so uh... fiuck VR then it won't last lol.

     

     

    I would like to think the enclave started the war to facilitate their crazy ass agenda because govts typically don't really want to actually fire nukes at each other there is just too much money to be made with saber rattling long term to justify ending it all unless at least 75% of a country would survive a nuclear war and even then... they would still rather have the money so it would take an extreme actor like the enclave to actually fire anything.

  13. Melee combat is only fun when you get mod added melee weapons that are really good and use VATS to hit someone with them. Watching my character wearing power armor beat the crap out of a super mutant with a giant hammer or sword is all kick ass space hulk kinda feelz but the regular melee attack animations really suck. I only do melee at higher levels when I have time to get the perks going for it. Custom combat armor overhauls all major faction armors they have their own texture setups and stuff I haven't tried that supermutants mod yet. Supermutants are really boring they are just comedy relief most of the time. They are not the stealth boy spamming scary monsters they were in fallout 3 or new vegas. I use the mercenary mod but it has a lot of bugs and I don't like some of the armors like B90 armor for example it looks terrible for females and the textures really sucks. Mixing the mercenary armor with custom combat armor looks good though.

  14. Almost done building the basics of a settlement and I get to placing light fixtures so I plop one down over a doorway and notice it doesn't appear to be working either completely off or the bulbs are on but no actual light source coming out then I scrap it and attempt to place different light and when I place it.... BAM CTD FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate this bug why the hell is it happening? I have mods that extend light source brightness and extend power radius if that matters but I have read some google search results that have the same problem with no mods installed.

  15. I think those aid options were for xbox users and I never used them. The message must be something written in the scripts then instead of the message thing but since we don't have the source files for the scripts we can't see what the scripts actually are. All LL stuff I mentioned you have to do before starting a new game because it all runs at game start not just before you encounter the unique items in the game world. When I first started playing this mod I got MF mod weapons right away like the mp7 instead of the 10mm pistol I got so many AKs I could scrap a bunch of them for parts and have the bestest gun in no time but nothing else no vanilla weapons. All the melee fighters were gone replaced by shooters it was really boring without some crazy guy running at me in the middle of a gun fight with a baseball bat. I use custom combat armor mod and it does specific things with combat armors for different factions using it like gunners and raiders and BoS which MF mod totally conflicted with.

     

    Just thought about this, maybe I am not seeing the messages because I use the lite version of hotkeys mod not the full version? I mean the lite version works why bother with full version anyway? So it must be something only in full version that shows those messages. I was looking at the v2.5 beta files esp and found additional messages in there for ammo type switching.

  16. I thought about that a long time ago but I haven't seen anyone doing it yet. The most effective thing for settlers is giving them better guns than crappy pipe weapons. They seem to have the worst aim with pipe weapons maybe something with really long range and some overpowered gear to increase their perception so they can hit something farther away? That might cut down on the run up to deathclaw with pipe weapon syndrome they all seem to have.

  17. I hate to think about how much trouble users had with jammed ammo in vietnam and they had to take their whole gun apart to fix it while some jerk hiding in the bushes was shooting a perfectly working gun at them. Who knew the way door knobs worked would change the world in such a huge way?

  18. I'm still doing this the manual way and I set my plugins file to read only so the game can't screw it up. I decide the load order not this game and not some mod manager that can get things wrong, I am the mod manager for me screw everything else lol. Yeah it sucks to sit there and edit one line at a time but that is not something constantly done just every once in a while.
