I should download this. It may not be the next Fallout game that we want to capitalize on Fallout's sudden resurgence in popularity, but the Fallout 4 next gen patch will certainly be a welcome addition. Hopefully they can update the mods that I use.

Conversely, I started up a new game of Fallout New Vegas after spending three days troubleshooting why my game wasn't loading its master ESM files. It wasn't that it was overly complicated or anything. I just couldn't be bothered to do it any more than five to ten minutes at a given time before breaking off to go do something else.

I traced the problem back to FCO 3.0. It was installing the Russell companion patch ESM despite me not having the master file nor it loading the master file itself. It refused to work for obvious reasons. Disabled it in the load order, and it works flawlessly.

I don't even feel like playing FO4 right now, but might as well check out the updates.

Saw that they jacked up the price of the GOTY edition due to this update.
Made me shake my fist.
Yeah, apparently the sale ended a few hours (?) before the update went live. A coincidence, I'm sure.

Hmm, I guess these are some type of Creation Club (?) quests, maybe not altogether different from the extra fan-created content that was packaged with the Skyrim Anniversary edition. Graphics do look a little better, but there don't seem to be additional graphical settings -- at least any I can remember.

This. I don't play Fallout for this shit, and it is an annoyingly larger part of the game than I would like.

I dont mind settlement building it can be fun Ive built some cool things in 4 and 76. The problem is FO4 had way too many settlements for us to create, when instead the game wouldve been better off with only a few player settlements and more pre built areas. Hell 1 settlement but you can place the workbench almost anywhere like in 76 wouldve been perfect imo.

The best part about Fallout is exploring, but there is zero exploration involved with our own builds and that is why I really dislike 4.

Getting some X-02 armor at around LV35 is pretty good, if I recall. I usually wait for some to spawn in the LV40s at that one abandoned high rise cell with a tankbot, assaultron, etc.

The best guaranteed location is the easily missed second location at the National Guard Training Yard. Most people know about the loose piece or two that spawns in the armory, but most seem to miss the complete suit inside one of the shipping containers in the northwest corner of the yard.

That being said, that CC armor from the Black Devil quest should be the toughest. If you disabled the radio station you'll also get access to a unique mod for the chest armor. As a heads up, unless it was patched, you should always disable the station anyway since it bugs out and only plays through the songs a single time before going silent for the rest of your playthrough.

There are reports that, of course, the next-gen update breaks mods on PC. This was to be expected. Hopefully modders come back in to fix these mods, which include a bunch of stability patches.

If you go near the shipping container as a low-level character, though, I think it locks in the power armor as a crappy, low-tier variant. There are radiant quests and a ghoul-clearing job in Bunker Hill that bring people out there, so it's not unheard of to accidentally mess it up. That's my main reason for seeking out a separate cell, anyway.

But yeah, I disabled the radio and got the special mod. Haven't installed it or anything yet, though. I usually don't do too many power armor renovations (other than brighter headlights) until I can go right to MKVI-tier upgrades. Maybe on Hardcore mode or somethin'.

Yeah. I tend to self-curate my exploration a bit to avoid certain areas at certain times. Like, I'll go to Wattz Electronics at level 13 or so to make sure I get the Protectron issue of Total Hack magazine and leave before reaching level 15 and triggering Automatron's battle nearby. Then I won't even go into Boston until I'm level 20+, with a goal of getting the full T-51 armor set to spawn on the river barge at the eastern half of the city. Then I avoid anything near the NGTY until level 30+ to ensure the X series armor spawns there.

But now that the Hellfire Armor is in the game by default you can get a stupidly strong set just by walking up towards Saugus Ironworks.

Well the update has been, quite predictably, a total shitshow. Wiped out all my mods on XB and slapped me with a '0B free space' bug that causes re-downloading to fail half the time. Not even gonna bother trying to redownload all the Creations if it turns out I need to reinstall the whole damn game to begin with.

*shrugs* Whatever. I have zero motivation to baby another Bethesda game spending hours trying to get it to work while they stumble drunkenly through another major update. Game was already broken for four years, so I'm not gonna lose sleep over it continuing to be broken.

Apparently the Fallout London mod is delayed indefinitely, because while they can update their own core code, they also have dependencies on other mods so it's up to when all those are updated.

People are still modding Fallout New Vegas, Skyrim, and Oblivion. You know, actual good games. Fallout 4, for its flaws, is a decent enough experience that people enjoy modding it.

Personally I still think there is a chance that Bethesda nukes their planned DLC for Starfield the way Bioware nuked the Quarian Ark DLC for ME: Andromeda. If that is the case then I'd expect them to push more cash shop stuff for Fallout 4 for several years.

Sounds par for the course that a highly anticipated next gen upgrade from Bethesda would be a mess.
I luckily bought a physical copy for ps4, so Ive not had any problems with it. It sucks that youd NEED it to get the upgrade instead of just being to upgrade the digital version.

As I recall you only need one settlement, Sanctuary. Nobody forces you to build or develop the other settlements.

Outside of factional requirements, you just need a place to build a story macguffin. The Railroad will have you set up a Settlement, while the Minutemen require something like 8 to access The Castle and gain their unique firepower.
