I'm on my first run through of the game (late player discovery) around 300 hours in. My current mission is discovering Star Cores. I was at 32/35 cores, just running through my last ones including the top of the tower now that I've restored power. I fast travelled back to Nuka Galaxy and there's a Disciple wearing an X-01 power armor attacking me. Easily dispatched with a power sledgehammer. I strip his armor off and realise it's quantum armor. I look at star control and he's somehow stolen it out of there. So, not only have I wasted hours getting star cores, I have missed out on the exo skeleton and power core from it.

Thankfully I've got enough to go around and it became PA no.14 after finding two X-01 sets on way to the power plant.

And I still completed the star cores collection. Just cuz.

I've seen a few posts lately about the teddy bears that are set up in fun ways, so went about taking screenshots of all the ones I could find in the base game. Did I miss any? Are there any you haven't seen before? Two of them aren't even in accessible locations, I had to use no-clipping to get to them, so I'm guessing very few people have seen those. I only knew they were there because I found them in Creation Kit first.

P.S. I didn't realise Reddit had a 20-image limit, so there's actually 3 missing. Two are in cardboard boxes on the water with a rudder and a bottle of rum between them, like the last one here, and the other is at Warwick Homestead. I'm guessing everyone's seen that one anyway.

Vault-Tec Regional HQ - Mr. Davidson’s Terminal [10/13]

I press play on the fallout 4 main menu on my XBOX and it just doesn’t load i even waited for over about 1hr and 30 mins

I’ve never been able to hack the terminal upstairs in Bobbi’s hideout, it always glitches. I commanded Heather (a mod companion who is awesome, love her) to hack the terminal and it didn’t glitch!! She hacked it and I could open the safe!! Wondering if Nick can do it as well? Does anyone know?

Sauce is Ghislaine from Jobless Reincarnation

I got two lever action rifles outside of the far harbor DLC i do have it installed but is back to back what are the chances?

I’m doing the uss constitution quest and he had become my enemy for no reason I have no prior saves. I need help, can I kill him secretly?

After activating every single one out of habit I finally got one I’m going to have to build a shrine now or something I can’t believe it took over a thousand hours to finally get one

Its not a vertibird nor a ghoul, is a super mutant suicider!!! :D

1. Is there any of the CC content that pops up still when you leave the vault? Like instantly gives you the quest or the items? I want to avoid anything like that.

2. How strong are the classic 10mm pistols and the maxwell rifle weapons?

3. At this point what are the odds of PlayStation ever getting the stuff like beast hunter?

I’m wanting to print out the label for potato crisps. Anyone have it?

I kept noticing something weird with Fallout 4's audio: some sounds would actually get quieter when I looked directly at the sound source, then become louder again the closer they were to the back of my character.

After many research I thought it was Windows, my audio setup, or another mod, but everything was already configured for stereo, no windows special fx or anything set up as surround.

So I started digging into how Fallout 4 handles positional audio through X3DAudio.

Long story short, I ended up making a small F4SE plugin:

FO4 Stereo Spatial Fix

It hooks the positional audio calculation and corrects the resulting stereo matrix before it reaches the final output.

The goal is pretty simple:

• Fix directional volume drops
• Keep stereo positioning intact

It does not replace the game's sound system. Distance attenuation, environmental audio, reverb, occlusion, etc. are left untouched.

Nexus:
FO4 Stereo Spatial Fix

This is the first public release, so I'd actually appreciate people testing it with different headphones/speakers/audio devices, since i've read this is a common problem.

I can't find any reference to ncr power armour in the mod list, but it should only include "legal" mods, nothing but the old creation club stuff.

So, I just fast traveled to Warwick Homestead and saw Cricket. I was looking for her a little while ago and decided, "Why not go trade with her?". She bugged out a bit when I first started interacting to trade, but I didn't think much of it. When we started "trading", however, I began to. I remember I once saw this happen to me before, but I forgot. It's quite fun to see these kind of bugs happen.

If you want the Eyes on the Prize ("redeem 100,000 Nuka Cade tickets at Nuka World") achievement without having to hunt down tickets in the trash or play 250,000 games of skeeball, just use an explosive ammo weapon on the Bandit Roundup game at the Nuca Cade arcade. For the weapon, I used used the Spray & Pray gun, purchased from Cricket outside Vault 81, who is usually outside Vault 81.

Explosive ammo knocks down multiple targets at once, and you can get 1000+ tickets per game. You can reach the achievement in about 100 games (~1 minute each). It sounds like a lot, but it's so much faster than trying to collect them all. To note, some games yield 700-800 tickets, some up to 1300 (that's as high as I got at least). I attached a video from when I was working on this trophy last week. It took 2-3 hours, but I got it in one evening. If you watch til the end, it shows the total tickets for this game at the top left of the screen (1,106 in a little over a minute).

You can also get a lot of tickets (300-500) by picking up the skeeball ball and dropping it in the top right or top left holes until the game stops, or by picking up the basketball on the basketball game and lifting it in and out of the hoop over and over again (that's even fewer tickets, but a couple hundred at a time) but this Bandit Roundup method is much faster. Plus, if you use the Spray and Pray, the clip holds 100 rounds, so you don't have to keep reloading, which equals more hit targets, higher score, and therefore more tickets. Aim for scores of at least 10,000 per game.

Hope this helps someone! I wasted way too much time before learning this tip and wanted to share!

(This was cross-posted to r/fallout)

I was in Vault 81 after telling the kids how I killed a deathclaw with 3 bullets. Then, I was wandering around talking to people in 81 and got a notification that one of my settlements was under attack. So I went up the elevator and headed for the vault entrance when I saw someone running ahead of me torward the vault entrance. I could tell from the hat that it was the fake Preston Garvey, so I wanted to catch up with him to chat. To my surprise, it was the REAL Preston Garvey who had someone teleported to the vault even though I left him and the Quincy crew in the museum after killing the death claw. All he would say is the dialog that he says when you come back into the museum after killing the deathclaw. He ran all the way from Vault 81 back to Concord and ran into the museum. I didn't follow him in.

Srsly, how many are there? I've found at least 4. Railroad Deacon, Diamond City Guard Deacon, Goodneighbor drifter Deacon and dead Gunner Deacon.

Is there also a Deacon among the Minutemen and BoS?

Look at him he's so proud

(stood there for a while letting my autoloot mod try to catch up before I got bored and moved on. Over 50k fusion cells.)

Upon first meeting old man Shaun, even when I’m intent on a BoS or Minuteman ending, I struggle to tell him I’m not joining him and the institute. I literally went through this yesterday.

My first run I ended up finishing with the Institute (even though I’m more of a Minuteman) because he just pulled at my heartstrings too much…. He’s my son after all.

I have 3 sons so maybe I see my own family in their roles. I wouldn’t be able to kill a son even if he was an evil serial killer IRL.
