Fallout 404: GECK Not Found

[The_Jackal]

If you're talking about the port-a-diners, no. I tried one a few times then gave up assuming it was just an animation and would never actually work.

Rolling towards quincy today, just outside the atomic toys factory, I see a vertibird with a few people around it. No problem, must be a few brotherhood, they'll make some snarky comments because they weren't invited to the synth shoot and fireworks, whatever.

Nope, gunners. Why are gunners hanging out with a vertibird? Well w/e, they'll just start shooting at me, right? Hey, why's that one climbing in, is he going to open up with the minigun? Huh, never seen the ai do this before. Nope, it's taking off and straffing me with a legendary gunner flying it. Bwah?

This is.....new?

Yes, at later levels they get Vertibirds.
Killing the 'bird kills all of them though, making for easy XP unless you installed a mod to make vertirds tougher... Looting can be hard though.

A Legendary in a vertibird is basically a free item.

You cannot bypass the pacification field while Brainless and thus trigger the end event.

Not actually accurate. The brain needs to be inside the field with you, but doesn't need to be installed in your head - leaving it in its tank in the Sink is good enough to fulfill the requirements.

So I am going to do a You only live once Challenge for Fallout 4. I am looking for rules. Here is what I have so far.

1. Hardest difficult not allowed to lower it. Survival.
2. Can not use Any health items food or medicine.
3. I can not heal Radiation damage or stunt it with meds
4. I can only heal from level ups and perks if I can get to that level
5. Level up does not heal Radiation can only heal radiation from the Solar Powered perk

Should i put any more restrictions on?

No. Fairly sure you have enough to insure you don't get far without running a ninja.

I would suggest changing from Survival to Very Hard, as the upcoming changes to Survival Mode mean that you will die of starvation long before you die of wounds.

I would argue for allowing you to blunt radiation damage with chems like Rad-X. No taking rads off with Radaway, but it only makes sense that you be allowed to keep as many HP as you can.

[cavalieredraghi]

I also did not take into account Limb damage.

[cavalieredraghi]

Also A Challenge for the new Survival mode would be fun to create as well.

[Balmas]

Question: Are you allowing yourself to take Life Giver? After all, the third rank gives you slow health regen, which is powerful under this ruleset, even if it is strictly speaking not really in the spirit of no healing.

Plus, it requires you to survive to level 20, which let's be honest, doesn't seem likely.

[cavalieredraghi]

It is either that or get to level three solar power which does the same but only from 6 am to 6 pm. I was thinking of giving myself Lifegiver to level three yes. I actually already started playing so far, I am only level 3 at the moment then the division came out.

[Triaxx]

No healing, means no healing I think. But then again, the massively insane damage F4 gives and the way rad damage works, it's probably impossible to avoid damage.

[rooster707]

Can people take things from your workbenches? I had half my Fusion Cores disappear today after an attack, and it turned out Cait had them.

[Calemyr]

Not to my knowledge, no. They can take from any other container you place, though, which still annoys me.

Why would you put a weightless item down?

Well You Only Live Once is a challenge designed by other Fallout Players, Only one has not yet been done by Fallout 4 standards. It is extremely hard since you have to delete your save once you die.

[KoboldNations]

Yeah, we need a patch for that. I have no problem with them taking my power armor when raiders come, because they usually get out after the attack, but I have a "Display Desks" area where I shove things that I never use but are cool on top of desks at Spectacle Island. I have like 30 settlers there, and I have to go through every one of them to find out who took my Shiskebob.

[rooster707]

So I don't use them up when I move my armor around.

Only safe way is to build a house with two floors, and then remove the sairs But seeing how Brahmins tend to spawn in the roofs I'm not sure even that's secure enough.

[Triaxx]

Which is why I only display things at Red Rocket, because Dogmeat never steals my stuff.

I'm aware of the Yolo rules. I'm still watching Many A True Nerd chew his way through a Fallout 3 Yolo. He's in the midst of The Pitt and down to a mere 73 HP. He's not expecting to survive the Arena. I have slightly more faith in him. I think he's going to go down on the way to Addams AFB.

"Crap, where's my legendary Fat Boy?" -MOOO- "Damn cow burglars..."

I don't even bother with settlements because of that. Never satisfied, constant drain on resources, getting pulled out of whatever I'm doing by the warning that the settlement's about to fall when I never got the quest in the first place... Just gets old.

[Alpharius?]

Okay, I finished the game with the railroad but apparently piper's quest in diamond city won't trigger. Is this a glitch?

I have two settlement that actually have settlers, Starlight Drive In and Spectacle Island. I have Starlight Drive in set up for an Arena whenever Wastland Workshop comes(on my main character, on second I keep blank in wait for mod), and spectacle island for just making cool structures and showcasing my collection of stuff. I have a table with tons of Nuka Cola Quantum, an entire floor of legendary weapons, half a floor of power armor, half a floor of legendary normal armor, a floor full of beds and settlers along with trading shops and such, a single floor with that serves as a fortress of solitude(because it is only accessible with a power armor jetpack),and three floors of a wall with a Space Invaders alien from the lightbox pixels.

Yeah, that takes up half the island. The other half is essentially Completely Farmland and such.

Spectacle island is amazing.

Possibly. Companions can bug if you're in mid conversation (or supposed to be) but you map out. This can happen more often post ending if you don't completely talk to them right after setting off the thing from the top of the building. Was piper with you during the end? If this is the case there a npc faction reset that can fix it w/ console commands, if your on a pc.

I could be misdiagnosing this but it sounds like the culprit. Will piper talk to you in general?

She will still talk to me in general it's just she won't ever leave and head to diamond city. Also she was not with me at the end if I remember right. I haven't completed the post campaign missions involving that gang so could that make it so I haven't technicaly completed the campaign?

So are you not getting the option to dismiss her when talking to her? I'd suggest the remove from faction solution discussed in this thread and see if it works.

did you hit the button and set off the nuke?

What I've done in the past is put my storage areas on upper floors of buildings, placed the fast travel mat up there, and then removed the stairs. That way only myself and my companions can enter it.

[LibraryOgre]

So, playing TTW... does anyone actually blow up Megaton? I simply can't imagine doing it.

I didn't on either time I did the quest. There is nothing that town did that makes me think to breakout the spf 6-million suntan lotion. Perhaps if they made the town out like Nipton supposedly was, all Sodom and Gomorrah-y... perhaps then, but...
