dragonslayer2k12 Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 This has been bugging me for a while now about fallout 4 the way storage is handled in general. Where does all that stuff you pick up in game really go? Does it go up the player butthole? it doesn't make any sense where are they putting that stuff? This is how it should be handled... You have to wear a backpack of some kind to carry more than a few things. You can wear one underarmor clothes and whatever armor pieces that can be worn over those and carry one pistol holstered one grenade of any kind after that you must wear a backpack or some carrying pack to carry more things. There could be a small pack that goes around the waist, I've been playing with modern firearms mod for years now and usually wear one of those belts with packs stuck on it for my character. So something like that could be used to carry small things like small junk or of course keys and cards and quest stuff. Then if you want to carry bigger things around you need a backpack of some kind. You can only carry one big gun it would have a sling to hold it on the character either slung over the back or in front of in case a backpack was being worn. If you want to carry more than one big gun you can't but you could take it apart and store the parts in the backpack for later use. One rifle type weapon could be slung over the back like we have now with these wearable weapon mods but if you have a rifle and a big gun you are slowed down a lot. So the belt pack and back pack alone don't slow you down just when you have a big gun or both a big gun and a rifle. Now with power armor there could be a small pack system like that one backpack mod for power armor here on nexus it uses automatron assets. But there could be a big storage box mod that is worn on the back of the power armor and you just keep stuffing it full. If you want to access that box just stop and drop the box on the ground behind the power armor.... maybe it is on two heavy belts and the box lowers straight down behind the PA then get out of the PA and go access the box. The box can be dropped and left too it doesn't have to be stuck to the PA so it would be like worsin's mod where the jetpack is just another thing that goes on the PA frame. With the small belt pack you get x amount of items you could stick in there and some items would take up one slot while other would take up two or more kinda like resident evil 4 inventory just you don't see that whole graphic it is just to explain how it would work. So the pack handles space and it increases carry weight. There could be a few different types of waist packs some hold more than others and a few different kinds of backpacks some hold more than others but either way you couldn't just haul it all out of an interior cell or whatever you would have a limit where you really could not pick up one more thing. This limit could be increased with perks over time so there would be x amount more space in each carrying device depending on what level of perks you have say strong back or lone wanderer perks for example. I started looking for portable field scrapper equipment and similar mods then I got this bug to write this wall of text. I really hate just magically carrying around stuff and feeling like cartman from southpark carrying things around in his butt then crapping them out later lol.
