[Meryuma]

Do you need to have someone as a companion to romance them? Cos I want Piper to be in lesbians with me but there's no way I'm leaving Dogmeat behind. I got the Attack Dog perk and everything.

Piper is best lesbian.

But yeah.

That feel when you can't go home to your gf after a long day roaming the Commonwealth with your dog :-/

also I kinda wish you could romance Travis? idk I'm weird

[Imperial isa]

Vertibirds really need a second door gunner.

I'm waiting for when the GECK for fallout 4 comes out so there's a non-faction related vertibird flare.

Vertibird Attack Gunship when? :<

I'm guessing soon after GECK release. I mean, they had em for F:NV with the mod "Enclave Commander"

Fuck vertibirds. I want artillery with non-shit range.

I mean, kind of this too, since "hurr you have to cover the commonwealth in guns to get respectable coverage" is kind of lame.

Calling in a dedicated Vertibird Gunship would be 10x better support though.

[Imperial isa]

All so how about it don't land till you clear the LZ

[Antartican Empire]

My PC barely runs it. But I love it. Especially that in the story they have (MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD)

grey and grey morality, and you can join 4 factions like in NV. An I never could have guessed that Father was Shaun. I expected that the institute "invasion" was the final mission(I secretly wanted to join them ever since I heard from them on FALLOUT 3), but no, it was my son leading the evil corp.

And the gameplay changes made it more fun, to replay the game. Also Survival difficulty forced strategy and PsychoBuff.

The only time when a transport vertibird is even useful is whenever you're traveling to somewhere overrun by enemies. Otherwise, it's just basically slow fast travel with a minigun you can fool around with.

That what i was using it for but it landed while i was trying to kill the enemies in the LZ.

Lol at that garbage mod.

XRE Vertibird was quite possibly, the single greatest Fallout mod of all time.

How was it garbage?

Yeah, kinda sloppy, but it was alright.

@all hating on me and my anti-fallout post

fallout 4 is nothing but like 10 quests
all of which have a horrible load of cons to them

you can, a. Finish with the minute men (AKA boring radiant quests)
The institute: A bunch of science people who are the most morally good and reasonable side, but worse off for the commonwealth
The railroad: So boring that I couldn't even pay attention to anything (Plus the Delphine voice actor, hated her)
or The Brotherhood of Steel: Kill everyone who's not a human! EXTREMISM! F*CK ALL THE HATERS WE ARE SUPERIKOR!!1111!!

so yeah
honestly It's NOT enjoyable after you finish the story
that's to say without mods, or the DLCS
but for now, it's a hunk of mediocre story and mediocre game

I mean these are literally old Napoleonic style mortars with a range of bare 1.5-2.7 kilometers.

Oh shit, I didn't know /v/ played nationstates!

Also, Institute definitely isn't most morally good, or even close to reasonable.

You probably rushed through the game anyways.

Thanks for the hugely simplified and mostly wrong plot synopsis that proves you didn't really pay much attention to the story or what you were doing. :>

I mean these are literally old Napoleonic style mortars with a range of bare 1.5-2.7 kilometers.

get mad

I mean, when your ultimate weapon in 2288 or w/e is some 1700s shit, that's just proof that your faction a shit tbh.

Tell that to the Legion.

>implying the legion weren't garbage that I practically wiped out by level 10

edit: also at least their howitzers were fucking modern.

These guys can literally build sophisticated laser weaponry from scrap. Why can't they make artillery that's actually useful more than ten feet away from the nearest settlement?

You come off as the type of person who rapidly clicks through dialogue and refuses to do any kind of reading or in-game research, only to complain about how stuff wasn't well developed or written good enough. The fact that you think that the Institute is the "morally good" choice and your entire synopsis of the Railroad is "boring" confirms this.

inb4 opie doesn't even have fallout 4

[Husseinarti]

I mean if a little tittle tattle in 2077 hadn't happened, yeah I could see that being a valid point.

These mortars are literally the best mechanical achievement anyone has been able to accomplish. Capable and accurate artillery is hard to produce even today. The artillery the Minutemen produce and use in great effect has a circular error probability (CEP) of less than 100 meters all the time. Even current modern artillery guns such as the M777 score around 50-200 meters of CEP, depending on conditions. The only artillery systems that produce a CEP near this are the M114s seen in New Vegas and the MLRS used by the Enclave of which both are prewar in design. The M114s have the advantage of already pre-plotted and know where their enemy is going to be.

Along with this, we see that the mortars of all of a standard design, which was something that was only partially true until the industrial revolution, when parts could be produced the same way in large numbers. These mortars have a solid concrete base, which has the ability to traverse their guns 360 degrees around and seem to have a good degree of elevation as well. In this, the guns also have some kind of striker design instead of a fuse system which canon of the mid-19th century had.

In this, we come to the cartridges. Semi-fixed cartridges, in which the shell (Which is of a high-explosive fragmenting design, again something that not everyone can just produce) is loaded after the charge is. The charge is loaded separately before the shell is. These shells have a primer on the base of the cartridge. This is evident in the rate of fire and that there is now fuse system on the gun.

Then, we come to the FO/FDC system. By simply throwing a smoke grenade, you get highly accurate, properly timed, and highly effective (If you throw your smoke right) artillery. This means that the FDC is on fucking point. No need for corrective shots is fucking outstanding.

The only people who have done achievements near this are the Brotherhood, but airships don't clear ground, they just sit to allow for ADA to engage them. The Institute doesn't count, as they have been working for allot longer than the Minutemen artillerymen.

[Licana]

Oh yeah, and they do this without being remotely trained, experienced, and often without being able to directly see the target or even the smoke while lacking in any sort of appreciable ammo storage or any real way to actually make what they use....because video game. :/

They just need 400000000000000000000000 guns all over the commonwealth to get respectable coverage and saturation.
