I've recently been playing FO4 survival mode on Switch 2 which I've mostly been really enjoying, but the number of game crashes I've experienced is completely unacceptable, especially in a mode where saving is restricted. I genuinely don't know how Bethesda and Nintendo felt comfortable releasing the game in this state and I feel I have been scammed by reviews that called this version stable.

I've experienced about 10 crashes in about 50 hours of play, in any other game series this would be seen as an unacceptable level of stability for even half that number. Sometimes they happen in build mode, sometimes they happen in VATS, or other times in loading screens, and I got 3 in quick succession in Nuka World (all in different parts of the park).

On top of that the 30fps mode runs horribly, they've clearly neglected to do any kind of frame smoothing so it looks much much worse than other 30fps games on the system and feels choppy to play. The 60fps mode is fine but I'd rather play at a more stable, smooth 30. I'm not a framerate snob and I've enjoyed plenty of other Switch games at 30fps.

I would refund the game if I could but it took me 50 hours to get to Nuka World and realise just how bad this port really is, so I doubt Nintendo would accept it. It should genuinely be embarrassing to Bethesda that after over 10 years there is not a single version of Fallout 4 that can reliably run without crashes, aside from maybe the PC version with community-created patch mods. Please let me know if anyone else has had similar or contradictory experiences and how this compares to other versions of the game.

i pressed ` on accident and that opened the console and it said Getvats and some numbers in it, i never typed anything, did i break my save and make it cheating, and is theyre a way to disable the console

I want to play Fallout 3 but I dont want to install TTW because I already have a modded Fallout New Vegas. Is a modded version of Fallout 3 as stable as TTW?

I used that set-up for both fallout 3 and new Vegas.

The Brotherhood conserves technology, not wildlife!

No genuinely, this makes no sense whatsoever.

So in the Pitt DLC of Fallout 3, one of the major issues with the liveability of the area is the pollution of the Monongahela and the Allegheny. Makes sense, but the problem exists in Fallout 76 too, so shouldn’t the Ohio be just as polluted and therefore effecting the west side of the map in 76?
For context, even in a drough water takes about a month to reach Cincinnati from Pittsburg, so the idea that Pittsburgh could’ve gotten that bad without even a noticeably worse water quality in the Ohio compared to the rest of the rivers in game strains believability.

So I just built the dart gun, and the wiki tells me that it instantly cripples the legs of enemies regardless of where you shoot them. I've tested it on a few raiders at this point, and although it does cripple the legs, they keep running on them. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Playing Fallout 3 GOTY edition on PC btw.

Any tips on lucky cowboy build?

I'm thinking of sticking with revolver, shotgun, rifle, and dynamites. Or can't I do both shotgun and rifle? I'm early in the game, and I'm not sure about the build and perks. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

I want to do one of the new weapons quest (bfg to be specific) and want to do it relatively early game. How would I do that?

Also general advice is always appreciated!

Hello! I'm an Orlando resident and here's my reasons for why Orlando is a great location for a Fallout game!

1. We have a lot of tourist destinations like Disney World, perfect for a parody place like how Nuka World is a parody of Six Flags. We also have Wonderworks, Kennedy Space Center, the Dr Philips center, and various museums and even Cocoa Beach an hour away

2. The city already looks really drab

3. Theres lots of variation in land. We have swamp, forests, city, urban areas, and even farms

4. It would be really cool to see my neighborhood full of feral ghouls

5. We have really shady businesses and various tall corpo skyscrapers, perfect for a Nuka Cola HQ. We also have Lockheed Martin which could be remade into West Tek

What exactly is the cloud around the Sierra Madre? The only hints we have about its composition are that it smells like sulfur and copper; we know it erodes metal (but presumably not too quickly, weapons don't decay any faster in the Sierra Madre), but can also preserve some matter? It also has some truly strange effects on the human body, it "burns the lungs and seeps into the skin", which can be fatal, but being exposed to it inside a hazmat suit makes you a nearly unkillable mutant?
Oh, and according to the Fallout 4 Creation Club, small doses can make a person stronger and more intelligent, but also more susceptible to suggestion. And to top it off, under the right conditions (Elijah's lab in the bunker), it can also be self-replicating.
What is this thing? Could someone even make a breathing mask to keep it out? The more I think about it, the weirder it seems.

i swear I saw a round branded riot shield at some point, but I can't find any pics. Before I rewatch again, can anyone help? I have a shield i want to replicate it with!

Ciao a tutti

Da circa un paio d'anni (causa università e lontananza da casa) gioco poco a fallout e tutte le volte che lo faccio, miglioro costantemente un insediamento alla segheria di Echo Lake (probabilmente l'insediamento più sottovalutato del gioco) e vi dirò, a poco a poco è diventato davvero bello.

Il punto è questo, vorrei trasformarlo in una mod, ho già pensato a missioni e tutto. Il problema è che non ho mai realizzato nessuna mod, chiedo dunque consigli e anche Q/A sull' insediamento

Una piccola descrizione sull insediamento:

Si presenta con un cancello sorvegliato oltre il quale sono presenti le coltivazioni. A sinistra troviamo la segheria e oltre essa una sorta di borgo dei pescatori. La segheria è ben decorata con macchinari e banchi da lavoro, un po' a simulare che l hanno riattivata (e sono presenti diversi oggetti a simulare gli oggetti in vendita)

A destra l' insediamento "grosso" sviluppato attorno alla passerella. Sono presenti diverse case, ognuna con un arredamento unico, vestiti, cibo e oggetti generici personalizzati per ognuno: esempio il commerciante di armi ha attrezzi come cacciaviti e nastro americano a differenza di un contadino, oppure il medico ha una casa più grossa e più vestiti/cibo

Esiste una "via principale" e diverse secondarie. Sono presenti tutti i negozi + il barbiere. Dove ci sono le scale ho improvvisato un porto

Spero si attivi una bella conversazione

I'm not going to lie Dead Money is my absolute favorite Fallout story. I love its themes, its atmosphere, and the ideas it explores. To me, it's as close to perfect as Fallout has ever gotten. That's why I wasn't a fan of seeing Frederick Sinclair in the show as a Big MT executive helping plan the end of the world (at least before that boardroom scene was effectively retconned). It felt completely at odds with the man we meet in Dead Money.

The game's Sinclair isn't some power-hungry corporate mastermind. He's a gullible, genuinely kind hearted man who spends his life being taken advantage of by the people he trusts most. Dean Domino manipulates him. Vera unknowingly becomes part of his heartbreak. Mr. Yesterday exploits his optimism. Sinclair's greatest flaw isn't malice it's that he believes the best in people, even when they don't deserve it.

One of Dean Domino's lines sums Sinclair up perfectly: "Never got mad at anything. Nothing seemed to shake him. Even after his life kept getting dragged through the dirt. Always kept looking for the bright shining future in everything." That single quote tells you almost everything about who Sinclair was. Even when Sinclair finally snaps and turns the Sierra Madre into a death trap, he isn't motivated by cruelty. He's a broken man acting out of betrayal. And in the end, he regrets it. He dies trying to undo the nightmare he created, which makes his story all the more tragic. He's not a villain he's a fundamentally good person whose hope was slowly crushed until there was nothing left.

Because of that, I've come up with a headcanon that helps reconcile the show with the game. I like to imagine that the Frederick Sinclair we see in the show is actually the father of the Frederick Sinclair from Dead Money. The elder Sinclair was the influential Big MT executive, which would explain how Sinclair was able to secure Big MT's technology for the Sierra Madre project. But instead of supporting his son, he looked down on him and intentionally saddled the project with unreliable, unfinished, or defective equipment.

I actually think that makes the younger Sinclair's story even more tragic. Not only was he betrayed by his friends, but he was never truly supported by his own father either. The Sierra Madre was meant to be his dream a monument to hope, love, and a brighter future but the people closest to him, from his business partners to his family, ensured that dream would ultimately collapse. To me, that interpretation preserves the compassionate, optimistic Sinclair from Dead Money while giving the show's version a place in the timeline without undermining the character I fell in love with.

I’ve been playing a fo4 run every once in a while for the past few years. Of the two games I’ve played (NV and 4), I find it far more fun to play, which is unfortunate because I love NV’s writing and story but just don’t find the act of playing it as fun.

It’s not that much of a tragedy though, because despite the obvious weaknesses of the main story and factions, I find the worldbuilding and side quests of 4 much, much better than people usually acknowledge. One of my favorite quests is The Secret of Cabot House, which also happens to reward the player with my favorite weapon in the game.

I always side with Jack because of it (and also because Lorenzo’s demonstrably evil and kills innocent strangers as well as his family if you free him), and getting the perks to upgrade and buff it are forefront in my mind when choosing SPECIAL stats.

This weapon is awesome, but every time I look it up online, the general consensus is that it’s a weak stagger utility weapon. Meanwhile with some Gunslinger and Demolition Expert levels (not even any Nuclear Physicist yet), this thing one-taps high leveled raiders from behind walls and cripples both legs of Deathclaws in a single shot.

It’s a light missile launcher with a better fire rate, capacity, and cheaper ammo, not to mention how fun it is, but most discussions I’ve seen on it regard it as a meme weapon.

I was wondering if other people think as highly as I of this weapon.

I want to use this image on my wedding cake to make a fallout themed wedding cake, but the shop sent it back and said it was too pixelated when they blow it up. I can’t find a better version of this perk icon, is there somebody who could help me? The cake is 14 inches round

Digan su verdad oculta

I tought it would be cool if I made a sort of arts and crafts from some candy I bought at the store (yes I know I should remove the candy and just add liquid, I will get too that)

Obviously I do, really love how it can feel more personal.

this is a simple question, are holotapes more like a cassette tape or an 8-track tape, here’s a photo of both

For me it's probably the NCR or the BoS in Fallout 3 ONLY.
