Shotgun Sally type character build

[StormWolf01]

Heyas Everybody!

TIA for taking a look.

 

So, have you ever seen a mod, that just screams at you "TRY ME! TRY ME!" ?

I have come across one such mod. A revolver shotgun. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/31240

I am a huuuuuge fan of revolvers, both IRL and IG. And we all love our IG shotguns :D

Best of both worlds! Right?

I'm gonna install it, and try it out on my test character later tonight. Along with the Magnum Revolver mod https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/17170 for the long distance stuff. Then probly do some tweaking to the both of them afterwards.

 

Also gonna take a look at this too, as a sidearm. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/33066 tho it may have some bugs that I don't wanna deal with fixing, in lieu of some of the other stuff I wanna throw together.

Have to test it and see.

 

But yeah, this has actually got me kinda peaked. I've been wanting to try out a different kinda character build, and I think, I'm gonna go with the "Sarcastic Jerk" personality type for this one. (Ya know, where you use the "Sarcastic" dialog response every time that it comes up?)

Haven't done that before, and it sounds like it might be fun.

 

Also thinking about plugging in a generic companion or two, and doing some facial reconstruction on them, to have along as a "posse" (fire support).

 

Really wanting to go with a gunslinger kinda theme on this, but at the same time, I've also kinda got an idea about mixing it up with a bit of a "West World" kinda bit, and throwing the main character in as a gen 3 synth.

 

So what are your thoughts and suggestions? I'm really NOT thinking about going completely wild west. Maybe something along these lines as far as garb? https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/31330 I'm kinda liking that denim duster. Or maybe one of these. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/31312 maybe that black and gray camo.

 

What's your thoughts about going with the Synth route?

 

Anything else that you might wanna add in?

 

Cheers, and thanks in advance!

I've never been a fan of the shotguns in FO4. The double barrel requires reloads and the combat shotgun fires very slow even on automatic. I never felt that going in close and personal was actually a good idea with this thing.

 

I already usually go for the sarcastic response tho as most of the things people say in FO4 begs being made fun of.

You mentioning the double barrel and it's reloads makes me think of something else about the IG shotguns that really annoys me. The fact that the way that Butthesda did them, they ALL have a dimpled primer. They've already been fired! I'm not by any means a "realism cop" but come on here!

I may have to look at some of the shotgun shell retextures.

Now granted, they did this with pretty much all the in game ammo. But it's Very noticeable with the shotgun shells.

 

I most definitely agree Aeons. The vanilla shotguns from this game leave something to be desired. Especially the Combat Shotguns. Granted- the cycle rate does have to be a tad bit slower due to the shape and size of the round. I mean, we're chambering a round that is essentially FLAT at the business end, so we wanna make sure it gets in their correctly. But not as long as it takes the CS on auto, it's pathetic. I can pull the trigger WAY faster than that, in semi. Almost makes the upgrade worthless.

 

Watched a vid on the Magnum Revolver last night. Thinking I'm definitely gonna have to speed up that reload a bit.
