Institutionalized is the start of Act 3, and Act 3 can be longest or the shortest act depending on how you play.

Got it, thanks for the heads up!


I think USGamers wording may have been misleading -- it's the start of the final ACT, not nessecarily the final mission.

 

[Replicant]

I actually had that. I told everybody about Bunker Hill (wich made it kind of stupid since nobody attacked me but everybody was fighting). I freed the synth for the railroad.
I had the conversation with father on top of the CIT but I didn't got banished and continued working for the institue and everybody else from there.
Guess I convinced him not to fire me

LOL. Well yeah, you did. For me it's the reverse. What Shaun said there triggered my BS meter and I have had enough of pretending that I was okay with what he's doing, which I haven't been okay ever since he said it back when the two first met again.

But I think you have one last chance prior to Mass Fusion event. But this time it won't be honest conversation. It'll be a complete backstab, I think. But hey, "Revenge is a dish best served cold" after all so go for it.

Does anyone have a picture of the in-game map with every location shown? For some reason the ones I find online are either missing locations I have or they are some interactable map.

Can certain companions affect settlements? Maybe one of my settlement is pissed off because I sent strong there and all he does is whine and wants to eat humans.

[JoeNut]

No surprise they're making another already, considering how long it takes after all the voice acting is finished i would imagine they started before F4 had even shipped.

Waiting for the DLC is killing me, i don't want to play any more until it's out

So I'm 9 hours in and I've probably spent about 5 of those masquerading as an interior designer.

This isn't a fallout game, I don't even know what it is but I sure am having fun.

I have a legendary pipe rifle with no mods and a regular pipe rifle fully modded. Is it possible to remove the mods from my regular pipe rifle and transfer them to the legendary? If so, how?

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Question: I am looking for an attractive outfit for my female character that can be upgraded with ballistice weave and enable me to cover it with armor when necessary.

So far the outfit that Cait wears is the only thing that works. I was so upset that Road leathers can't be upgraded either cuz I loved that look.

 

[Recall]

Game complete, level 55 as of now. Nothing left to do but wait for DLC reviews.

Build or attach standard stuff on the modded rifle, the good mods will be added to your inventory then attach the good mods to the legendary

Not sure whether it works for Legendary items but I know that it's possible for normal weapons of the same type. if you change one of the mods on a weapon, the one that was previously equipped ends up in your inventory.
Then if you try to change your mod on the legendary weapon the material requirements should be gone.
Haven't actively tried it myself but I think it should work. Should be quite easy to try out.

Holy shit I totally forgot about the ballistic weave. I was never able to use this since one of the P.A.M. quests was bugged for me so I could never finish it.
Oh man I gotta do this shit asap. Gonna do railroad stuff from now on.

What was Bethesda thinking with the Freefall Armor Legs? It is impossible to get up there unless you glitch or cheat. You'd never have enough AP to get there with a jetpack.

It's a strange one, as though they forgot to add a normal way to access them. I'm sure I got them once by accidentally falling from the top at some point

I had to use the trashcan glitch to get there.

I got there with power armor and Nuka Cola Quantum. You definitely don't need to cheat or glitch.

I'd also add, if playing on PC there is a mod for unlimited jet pack AP - flying around the commonwealth stomping on groups is a good laugh

Ah but I still need to spend the materials on creating the standard mods for the non legendary weapon?

Yes (unless on PC and modded)

I'm on (what I think) is my final story mission, or damn near close to it

The Nuclear Option

. I was wondering if anyone had any good side quests to recommend? My favorite so far has been " Last Voyage of the U.S.S. Constitution." I've done a fair of amount of side quests, but I'm sure there's some enjoyable ones I missed.

How did you do this? Were you on PC and had the Quantum bound to a hotkey? On console you require a minimum of two button presses while maintaining the thrust button. It's easier to use a trash can.

As with a lot of games with companions, I'd say fully exploring their quests to be more fulfilling as they actually have personalities and there feels like a sense of relationship progression (Valentine's in particular).

I think I have enjoyed finding out about places rather than completing the side quests associated with them if that makes sense. Places like Salem, Dunwich Borers, etc

I used the drug that slows down time and used a Quantum.

Jet and Nuka Quantum have a purpose you know!

The first cubby is the hard one. The second can be made in one jump.

 

[Bedameister]

The Freefall Armor Legs sound like fun but I think I will keep my combat armor legs that each grant 10% faster movement. Feels so good.

I've been trying to find videos of people doing it that way, but I've only found glitch videos.

to be fair Legendaries can Drop acrobat armor which serves the same purpose as the freefall armor.

I followed this video to get them. It took me a ton of tries. No glitches needed.

I hope the DLCs add more scopes with peripheral vision.

 

[Bedameister]

I hope the DLCs add more scopes with peripheral vision.

First of all I hope the DLCs will add new weapons. This game really needs at least one decent shotgun. Also an AK74/M16 style assault rifle.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Is it just me, or does Dogmeat stick a lot closer to the player now for some reason?

I don't remember him blocking my path and breaking my momentum so often at launch, when I had him with me for nearly the entire game. Now I just feel like whenever I'm going somewhere I need to navigate both the landscape and him blocking my path.

 

[Psychoward]

I wouldn't mind the lack of variety if the customization wasn't so damn linear. There are some neat options but they should all be replicated again in rank 4 so the objectively best setup isn't shockingly obvious.

For any Xbox One fans who want the season pass but missed it before the price rise.

newegg.com still has Xbox digital codes for the season pass at $29.99

It turns out the Wiki article was wrong. Cait Corset cannot be upgraded with Ballistic Weave.

I was upset, because Road Leathers and that Corset are sexy (without being overly sexual) outfits and I wanted to make them my main article of clothing.

Sigh. I just ended up going with the Minutemen outfit.

Hopefully more outfits will be in future patches/DLC

The Railroad gives you ballistic weave. Thats about as big as it gets.

I have to admit that its really a damn shame that they patched out the duplication glitches for the settlements on consoles.

If you go online and see many of the amazing settlements people put together. Many of those required an insane amount of resources to obtain. Many used glitches to obtain those resources.

If a player wants to use a glitch in a SINGLE PLAYER game that cuts down on boring grinding then why stop them? Who is it hurting?

Im currently doing my second playthrough of the game and I am certainly tempted to take advantage of some glitches rather than just constantly grinding back and forth to get all the perks I want.

 

[nortonff]

Any impressions on the new patch?

 

[LightOfTruth]

Downloading the patch now. It's 2.351 GB (PS4). I had no idea this came out on PC already.

I'm personally just hoping for performance improvements.

brb, duplicating resources first before updating.

Protip. Delete the game install and patches, reinstall offline, and glitch away.

Game saves are not locked to patch level for some reason!

Nice, was about to get that Rank 4 soon anyways.

And I'm so going to make a Raider settlement. Dress all my settlers as raiders.

Also I probably will make a small settlement just for strong nicely decorated for him. A nice place far away from me so I don't have to listen to his stupid crap anymore

On xbox one, Does installing fallout 4 to a WD usb3 portable external harddrive give any improvement to load times?
