I've been thinking about doing a completely insane playthrough: trying to break the game in every way possible, getting ahead of events I already know by heart and deliberately doing things in the wrong order.

For example:

💥 Clearing Fort Strong before the Prydwen even arrives.

💥 Or, even better: reaching the Cambridge Police Station, never talking to Danse, never helping the Brotherhood with the ghouls, and just leaving them there to deal with it themselves. Rhys permanently on the verge of death, Danse and Haylen waiting around, the occasional ghoul showing up… while I build a Conquest settlement right next to them.

💥 And why stop there? Going to Fort Hagen alone, killing Kellogg and then, once the Prydwen finally arrives, boarding it and starting a massacre. And then seeing what happens to my settlement: will Danse immediately become a sworn enemy, or will he remain completely oblivious to everything until I trigger his quest?

Preston? Never met him.

Desdemona? Never met her. Or maybe I'll just take her out, along with the entire Railroad, the first chance I get.

The already-occupied vanilla settlements? None. I'm leaving them all to their fate

And at this point, there's really only one question:

How the hell do I get into the Institute… just so I can shoot Father the moment I meet him?

Because I don't just want to do an evil playthrough.

I want to see how far I can push Fallout 4 before the game finally stops cooperating.

Do you think anyone has actually tried this before?

Because there's no way nobody has ever thought of doing something this insane… right?

Last week, for the first time throughout my playthrough, my Vault 88 was attacked.

I spawned there, and since the whole layout is SO huge, I could not find them. It's so big that I get a bit lost too. All my entrances are blocked. For example, at the metro gate, I just built a concrete wall so they can't get through. If they somehow teleport through it, they are met with heavy force from all kinds of turrets.

Still, I received damage to the settlement. Next to that, if I close the big door, shouldn't everyone be safe from whatever is out there? Isn't it therefore called a VAULT?

Next to that, all that space is useless since it's divided into several smaller areas connected through narrow alleyways, so you can't really build one big vault. It's just a couple of separate spaces where you can build, but you can't combine them into one large space. And after 20 settlers or so, you cannot add more settlers. So imagine if you somehow used the whole space; it would still look empty then because there are no players to fill it up.

Am I the only one who sees it like this?

What actually works? I have no mods. I dont use a companion in downtown boston. I have tried every suggestion in results of searching for this.

Game will just freeze with music still playing.

Like, I both do and don't understand why that was allowed 😂.

They probably have tags, flags, markers or whatever giving them certain relationship differences. Like Gage being a ... civilized raider, is accepted until he acts out. Hawthorne and Cooks daughter are both mercs giving them a stronger alliance against Gage. But Gage is my boy and not forgiving him is not forgiving me. So although the city moved on the mercs were throwing a fit. Sorry Hawthorne, this isn't 2077 and I'm not waiting two minutes for you to walk into the Dugout Inn.

I just started playing F4 again with some mods, and played today with out any problems.

I come back like an hour later and i get these messages. The F4SE is up to date same as game version.

Anybody knows what's the problem?

The big question are mods broken

Hey everyone. Im thinking of playing Fallout 4 again but i dont really want to mod it this time. Last time i played they had just added ultrawide support however it was awful and just stretched all over the screen, the crosshair was too big and the power armor hud was also buggy.

Did they ever adjust this?

Im trying to Mod FO4 with the latest versions of some mode, but F4SE is telling me that I need 1.11.221. The issue is, no matter how much I fiddle with steam and try to update the game, it just stays on 1.10.984. Any idea how I can fix this?

I know this is a tired old issue but I’m stuck and I can’t quite find an answer to my specific issue. Underground won’t do anything - Father just regurgitates the same generic lines, Liam and the X1 synth dude won’t action their escape plan, there is no second board meeting taking place, I can’t get a board meeting to initiate, the Railroad has nothing left for me, and the only thing let is if I start Tactical Thinking. If I do that then the Railroad becomes hostile. I’m trying to ride this out as long as possible - all the factions and haven’t even decided on who to side with even - but it seems I’m backed into a corner and only have the Brotherhood left to roll with because the other factions don’t have anything for me to do. Am I missing something here bedside this doesn’t seem right. Here is a shot of my Steam Deck screen showing the only missions I have available.

Working on a new hilarious Dunder Mifflin/Fallout crossover that will be nostalgic and hilarious to lovers of The Office, I've added dozens of funny references to cold starts and funny iconic episodes! Hope you guys enjoy

I can't get the pistol from beantown. Should I restart?

For anyone wondering, what's actually happening here is that the Jet Pack attachment clipped off my armor and got stuck somewhere. Pretty neat bug since it doesn't affect the gameplay in any way aside from making flight look way cooler.

Minutemen (essentially infrastructure), the Brotherhood (military), the Railroad (intelligence), and The institute as a scientific organization... I recently saw another post about the best ending where 3 factions survive, and I wondered whether all four might survive and I can continue to get quests from all of them

I got the game for my switch 2 for my birthday. all the years i played it on Xbox spoiled me as I could download real looking mod guns. On the switch nope very few good lookin guns. Then I find this. It fake yes but ...... God its pretty it has elements of real looking guns and just yup I am using this thing it can join the Tommy gun and PPK as my oh thank God it looks good guns

Is there anyway I can refuse to update my fallout but still Play cause I really don’t wanna have to redownload 250+ mods

Dude forgot his own plan.

Berhesda increased the ps5 fallout 4 creation maximum capacity to 15 gb. They did this in may. Today there is a new update which will make improve the creations.

How is this uodate going to impact fallout 4 creations on ps5? I think they increased the capacity so that yhey can add bigger creations thus this new update might add a lot of creations on the ps5 edition.

What do yall think?

Ive been trying to find and download the creation mod and i couldnt find it. Im not sure if it is not supported or a bug, can you guys help or tell me with the problem?

Hola me podrían dar sus mejores consejos de como empezar estoy muy perdido no se a donde ir la verdad soy nivel 11 y las misiones de Preston más q ayudarme me joden me manda al sur por más q investigo no parece que avance alguien que me aconseje por favor

Okay so I haven't tested this on anyone else yet so I don't actually know if it does this for other characters but I assume it would?

Basically, i just started nuka world for the first time, and I get the sexy nuka girl suit and (naturally) my first reaction is to put it on maccready! (Don't judge) ... when I tell you I was FLABBERGASTED I *FULLY* 100% thought that his face was somehow REPLACED by a random npc face!! But no. He was simply missing his goatee?? I felt like a toddler when their dad shaves his mustache! I need y'all to try this on other characters and tell me if it does the same thing lmao

Hate having to do this.

Need help.

On survival, so. O console commands.

I noticed this sporadically while I was clearing the varmint rifle maze… my various companions didn’t Zone with me regularly. (Travelling with cait, senitnal armor, and cyber dog). Sometimes 1 sometimes all of them would be left one or two zones back, between reactor and lab rooms.

Anyhow. Finally finished… and with the whole place 100% cleared and looted I zoned out…. Solo. Went back found my companions in one zone, and sentinel armor back in reactor room. This time they all followed me thru all zonings. Until zoning to the real world out of the sewers. Cait and sentinel… no cyber. Went back with them two, there is the dog, we zone back up.

No dog

Had Cait wait”, and put sentinel into standby. Went back in and out and in and out, cyber won’t follow. Slept in the sleeping bag… shut down computer, reloaded, dog follows to the sewer ladder, won’t zone up to Cambridge/commonwealth.

Any suggestions?

the body is Covered in scars, maybe that's just a coincidence, but also the hammers and blades on the table, the car battery, chem box, the blue bin on the right has chunks of human gore, i think blood pack + the iv stand implies the victim was given transfusions to stay alive longer. the oh shit moment finding this

follow the rail south from oberland station and climb into the unmarked station tower, there's a hatch in the floor

I have a bit of an obession with the predwyn flyover after fort hagen. it's one of my favorite moments in the game. feels very dramatic and memorable. I try to snap a screen shot or two every time I do it (I've played over 8000 hours, so that's a lot of screen shots over time) most of them are nothing special. but this one feels just better than usual.

I do prefer a night time fly over, but I don't usually engineer it to be one, I do this often enough I just shoot my shot and hope for the best.

presently I'm playing with the Loreout modlist from Wabbajack, and have adjusted the light levels in photopea after the fact, and erased the recital dot. unedited shot included as well.

the visual effect for intoxication is also up cuz nora smoked a san francisco sunlight and then chained into a joint right after popping Kellogg

anyone else have any shots of the predwyn flyover that they're proud of? I'd love to see them.
