SMILINGMOON Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) Everyone chasing you with fists and sticks? Majority of enemies I come across have guns of some sort, mainly Pipe guns. So far, roughly one-in-ten enemies have a melee weapon. Sometimes two melee attackers might be in a group but it's quite rare to see more than that. I'm not sure if you're over-exaggerating a little about "everyone" there for effect. If anything, more people should have melee weapons and guns should be rare as Giddy-Up Buttercup feces.ÃÂ As for industry, it isÃÂ pretty much non-existent, except for a couple of Post-War "companies" that especially deal in weaponry. And they're not anything like the Pre-War companies, who mass-produced thousands of units per day. Also they are not prevalent, in the Commonwealth especially. Gun Runners, for instance, barely made it out of New Vegas. Most trading done isn't weapon-related at all, food and water being the most precious of commodities. So the Commonwealth shouldn't have an abundance of decent weapons or any at all. The people had to make their own, hence the Pipe guns almost everywhere. Mix the distinct lack of high-quality firearms with the Brotherhood of Steel, who keep a relatively-tight reign on the population's advancement into technology and the chances of guns should become even less than it really is.ÃÂ From what I've seen, there are too many guns in the Commonwealth to correspond with how guns are made and how trade works in the Fallout universe. Supplies would take a very long time to reach anywhere. And that's it they even reached their destinations, given the hazards of the Wastes.[/quote Also fair, can't argue with some. I just think melee npc should carry 2 weapons, (melee) and simple pistol for far away intruders. I think raiders and gangs should have good ballistic weapons . brother hood of steel should keep the fansy energy weapons for them selves. I think 2 or 3 out of 10 NPCs have melee weapons makes it 30% to much for me. In the USA there are way more guns then people at home, where have they disappeared lol.

MightyZ0G Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Please tell me honesty what you like more VATS or bullet time? honestly? I'm not that bothered but as I play without enemies marked on the Compass/HUD, VATS is more useful to me.hit the button and enemies that your character is aware of get highlighted. you can cycle through targets and occasionally you spot a mine.all bullet time would do is let me run in blind then slow time when the manure hits the windmill. I rarely use VATS though, but then in games with bullet time I rarely use that either. would someone armed with a melee weapon charge an enemy armed with a firearm in a combat zone?yes. ever heard of bayonet charges?in WWI, when Highland Regiments charged, the piper would charge with a set of BAGPIPES.so in a world where firearms are in short supply and ammo even more so, there is nothing wrong with enemies charging with baseball bats or tire irons, people have charged into battles with less effective weapons in the past and probably will in the future.the effectiveness of charging is dependent on the nerve of the person being charged. one little waver is all it takes to make them miss and panic them. it doesn't work on you with raiders, but that doesn't make it wrong or even unrealistic.

That's why charged at enemis . and they used gas it was better than bullets at killing at that time. In the USA people have way more guns(at home) than actual people, so it can't be that scares after the war in 2077. VATS is more useful than bullet time for detecting mines but.......

H4RDC0R3V1B3Z Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 You have to remember it's been over 200 years from the point at where you join the world, to when you are able to interact with it once more. Over those years, the majority of bullets and guns would become useless. Gunpowder and primers don't last very long at all and they certainly wouldn't last 200 years. Nor would the guns, without constant maintenance and cleaning. Also, think about where the majority of guns are kept. Military sites. Gun stores, in civilian areas. Both of those places would have been prime targets for the nukes and you can guarantee that nearly all (if not 99%) of the weapons would have been destroyed. Then you have the very little of what was left over being used by scavengers and people trying to survive. Those guns would have broken, been stolen or melted-down for other purposes long before you came along. So no, there wouldn't be many guns left over.

Gruffydd Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Personally I'd much rather have a place with some history to it than a generic nest of skyscrapers. I liked the Boston setting, especially the lore around Goodneighbor.I like settlement building. Gives me something to do once I've explored all of the dark corners of the game and completed the quests. I loved playing NV but I'm done with it. I liked most of FO3 but I'm done with it. With settlements, especially with the right mods, it lets me continue to roleplay rebuilding parts of the Commonwealth even without a quest.I definitely prefer VATS to bullet time. It's Fallout, not the Matrix. VATS is part of the lore, and this isn't a FPS. At least in this version it's not freezing time, though.Only issue with weapons is it seems silly to be able to make a reliable gun out of a handful of pencils, a few tin cans, and a cigarette lighter.So many ghouls (non-feral) roaming around and nobody remembers how to sew or make a quilt? Especially with that whole 1950s thing going? Seems unlikely. Would like to see more pre-war knowledge starting to circulate, especially in areas with lots of old nonferal ghouls.A larger play area with more nonessential interesting sidequests, or nonquest areas to explore that have interesting stories if you're paying attention, would be nice.
