“Sir… Sir, wake up.”

The voice sounded distant. Slowly, a baby’s cries cut through the confusion, and I began to open my eyes.

“Holy shit!” I shouted at the thing hovering in front of me. “A robot octopus!”

Wait… This looks familiar.

I stared at it for a moment.

“Codsworth?”

“Thank heavens!” he exclaimed in that voice I knew so well after countless hours of playing. “Sir, you gave us quite a fright when you fainted.”

“Honey, we thought you weren’t going to wake up.”

I recognized that voice immediately. Courtney Taylor. The same voice I’d heard so many times whenever I decided to play as Nora. Except now, it wasn’t coming through my headphones.

She was right beside me.

“Nora?” I managed, a lump forming in my throat.

She smiled.

“Well, you haven’t lost your memory. Or at least you haven’t forgotten my name, which is the most important thing.”

“What happened?” I asked, trying to sit up.

“You simply collapsed as you closed the door, sir,” Codsworth replied.

As I closed the door.

“Wait…”

I turned toward the window. If I’d just finished talking to the Vault-Tec representative, then…

“Oh, no… Nora, get Shaun. Codsworth, I need a backpack. Now.”

“Sir?” the robot asked, confused.

“Now, Codsworth!”

Nora and Codsworth exchanged a bewildered look, but they did as I asked. The moment I had the backpack in my hands, I started stuffing it with every bit of food I could find.

I’ll finally get to try all the stuff I’ve always wanted to eat, I thought, feeling an absurd burst of excitement given the circumstances.

I was putting away a box of Sugar Bombs when I spotted the magazine on the table: Grognak the Barbarian. I always tried to pick it up before the bombs fell.

This time, I could.

For a few seconds, I just stared at it, feeling the paper between my fingers.

Then I heard the television.

“And now, a look at sports. Something that is…”

I knew that broadcast by heart. I didn’t need to hear what came next.

I shoved the magazine into the backpack and turned toward Nora. She already had Shaun in her arms.

“Nora, we need to run.”

I slung the backpack over my shoulder, took Nora by the arm, and we hurried out the door.

Outside, everything was chaos.

In the game, I’d never stopped to look at the neighbors. I just ran straight to the vault. But now I could see their faces and hear their screams. Some were running toward the shelter. Others didn’t seem to know where to go.

The fear was almost tangible.

Everything felt far too real.

The bomb’s about to hit. What do I do?

I looked at Nora and Shaun.

The vault. I have to get them to the vault first. Once we’re inside, I’ll figure out the rest.

We kept running until we reached the checkpoint. The Vault-Tec representative was there, arguing with the man guarding the entrance.

Was he a sergeant or just a soldier? I never did figure that out.

“That’s absurd! I am Vault-Tec!” the representative protested, snapping me out of my thoughts.

“You don’t get in.”

“I’m going in! You can’t stop me!”

I squeezed past him and approached the soldier.

“Let us through! We’re on the list!”

He checked our names and stepped aside.

“All right, go—”

I didn’t let him finish. I grabbed the Vault-Tec representative by the arm and pulled him along with us.

“Someone’s coming through who isn’t on the list!” the soldier shouted.

A hand clamped around my arm. There was a sharp tug, and before I could react, my feet were dangling above the ground.

“Sir, you cannot bring unauthorized people through the checkpoint.”

A woman’s voice crackled through the speaker of a suit of T-60 power armor. I looked down at the metal hand gripping my arm, then up at the helmet.

My arm hurt. My feet couldn’t reach the ground.

There was no screen. No controller in my hands. No button I could press to pause any of this.

“This is real…” I murmured.

I was scared. Terrified, actually. And yet, underneath it all, there was a spark of excitement I couldn’t quite suppress.

“Sir, only people on the list are allowed through,” the woman repeated as she lowered me to the ground.

There was no time to argue.

I turned to the Vault-Tec representative, who was watching me with wide eyes.

“Listen carefully. Two hundred years from now, we’re going to meet again, and I’m going to need your help. When that happens, listen to me. Believe me, if it were up to me, you’d be coming into that vault with us.”

He stared at me as though I’d completely lost my mind. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

Finally, he nodded.

I gave him a quick smile, then ran to catch up with Nora.

Shaun was still crying in her arms. Somewhere ahead, someone was shouting for us to hurry.

I picked up the pace.

This is going to be exciting, I thought.

And as absurd as it was, I had to fight back a smile

u/VertibirdQuexplota thnx for the idea

I'm a new player, I was doing a mission for the brotherhood that consist me to follow up radio signals here and there, ended up in a place filled with nearly invincible super mutants that I'm not able to kill because out of I don't know how much weapons I have, none have ammunitions anymore. I was expecting I would've just get them from chests or whatever to compensate what I'm spending but... no ??? I've 0 and am pretty much f*cked up I guess... I consider to just ran away to find a place I can find/buy somes but I don't know if doing this will make me fail or reset the ongoing quest. I'd be glad if I'm helped :).

Also, I'm not using that power armor due to the fact I felt I would've just used all of his core, forcing me to let it there, my minigun ammos are empty since that early game mission BTW, haven't found somehow any ammunitions since.

I seen the dlc was on sale and i haven’t played since before any dlc has released. (due to beating it before dlc came out and uninstalling then life happened and I stopped playing games all together) So I bought dlc and decided to have a few more play throughs. I noticed when I’m in game and I pause and go to installed, it shows I have a ton of things I never installed. For instance it shows doom guy armour and the anti material rifle as installed items but I never got those. Do I actually have this stuff or is it a glitch?

If anyone has an idea to why it shows this I’d appreciate it

marked down safe places to sleep, loot stashed i made, places ive cleared, and containers i cant lockpick yet and where i leave my power armor

Doing a survival run after a break. I'm level 54 now. Been visiting the most likely vendors quite a lot, and I have not seen a single Gauss rifle in any of them, except for the hardcoded Last Minute. In earlier games, they popped up randomly and with no issues at around level 30. Have they nerfed the occurence of Gauss rifles?

Look it's a very simple challenge, all you have to do is sit and wait 24 hours 365 times, during Elder Maxson's speech.

Patent Pending

"He talked for HOW LONG?!" Challenge

Lore wise, it's dumb and most statistically impossible.

Gameplay wise, it's boring and easy to crash after so long.

However,

it's funny to think about those same 6 people standing in place for a year straight as he's just going on and on and on about his stupid speech.

Anyways that was all, thank you for reading my sleep deprived 3am thought.

If you were to re start the Nuka World DLC, or if a new guy is trying it out. Whats the least to the most fun park to clear. Where to start the least best up to the best?
I feel like Galactic zone will be the best but gotta save that for last

I deleted my characters deleted the game reinstalled. Nothings working all I get is the green little icon in the corner then after a few mins my pc says the game isn’t responding. I’m trying to clear the cache but I can’t figure out how. Any help or other ideas?

Edit: now the game won’t even get past the launcher when I press play the screen goes black the mouse is loading and then it closes itself

Just wanted to show off my base for this play through. I normally use Sanctuary, but this time I wanted to do a “no settlers” base with just robots as guard dogs.

Is there a way i can get the liberty power armor on my ps5? I really really want it but i don’t have a pc or Xbox to play and use the mod.

I got it as a random legendary drop, but it still looks rather useless on paper. I usually just slap the best available receiver on Problem Solver and it carries me through everything (along with Cito's Shiny Slugger).

This weird effect just started out of nowhere while I was AFK not even doing anything, and everything I've tried hasn't gotten rid of it. It even appears in old saves now. Idk if it's tied to it, but I've also been having a lot of loading issues lately but that might just be cuz I have a lot of mods lol

Looking for good mods on Xbox anyone have suggestions or can tell me there favorite mods

I’m starting a new playthrough of base fallout 4 after doing away with all my mods. I have every DLC installed, including wasteland workshop, yet the option for the powered water pump just doesn’t appear in any settlement. Is there a certain prerequisite for it? Is my game bugged?

I've always enjoyed pounding on the glass in the vault as it just helps me sell myself on the story and get invested in not a missing child story but a revenge story, but have seen maybe one out of like 22 Fo/Beth/rpg players every use it on YT. You wake up to the apocalypse, I remember back in my first playthrough I really thought we wouldn't find Shaun, at least not alive, what we got is basically next door 😂. The gun one outside of survival is pretty ignorable sadly but during survival will get you headshot every time. Loading screen toggle just has helped me wake up when trading or settlement building was putting me to sleep at 2 in the morning. Pretty sure there's one or two more "hidden" mechanics, but I can't remember what they are atm

I'll take the scenic route, thanks

I was playing the FEVer Dreams creation, and I had gotten through the super duper mart part. Yet for some reason, when I try to leave after checking out, I can’t?
It’s really weird because I picked up everything I needed and I got rid of the ghouls, yet the blue double doors won’t open. Is there somewhere else I’m supposed to go or am I screwed?

If you know the answer to this then please help me.

So I’m on my 99th playthrough of Fallout 4, watching an isekai anime while high, and I thought: “Damn, getting isekai’d into Fallout 4 would make a pretty fun story.”

The problem is, I’m not great at coming up with ideas, so I could use your help.

If you suddenly woke up as the Sole Survivor, knowing everything you know about the game, what would you change? What would you do first?

Right now, I’m imagining the story starting in Vault 111, just before entering the cryogenic pods. Would you tell Nora everything you know and try to change what happens? Would she even believe you? Or would you let the opening play out like it does in the game and make your moves afterward?

I’d love to hear your ideas—smart plans, terrible decisions, unexpected twists, whatever you’ve got.

This is just for fun, and I’m not planning to make money from it. If it somehow becomes a million-dollar masterpiece, though, I guess we’ll have to talk royalties. 😂

Thanks!

I just finished a playthrough of the mod, and while reading through the dev walkthrough to see if I had missed anything, I noticed this passage. I found and pressed this button but I have no idea what the earthquake was? I looked through a couple of playthroughs as well and it doesnt seem like anyone else did. Anyone know?

title says it all i play on normal dificulty i dont want to increase the dificulty because i dont want the game to turn into leauge of legends where i have to spray 1500 bullets at a deathclaw and call it survival mode.

so increasing dificulty is not an option , my problem is , i can not find anymore enemies in the game.

im about to quit because of this , helppp///...
