**** Official Fallout 4 Thread ****

Has there been an update? The Num.0 used to be the default quick Stimpak button but that doesn't seem to work for me anymore? Is there anyway you can re-assign it :(
 
Yeah, that's the one! The key along the top is a bit out of the way for my freakish, left handed style...

So, anyway of reasigning it?

You get a warning at a very critical point towards the end, bit not prior.

I only recall one mission that had ramifications from another faction when they were both asking you to do the same but opposite for each other, but it didn't affect progression.

You should be able to assign a stimpack to 0 (or any other number) in your favourites. The 0 on the number pad should work the same as the 0 on the main keyboard (as long as numlock is on).

The patch did make some changes to the use of the numpad - it made them available for remapping. So it's possible that they have been remapped in your installation, but you should be able to remap them as you please.

Not always. It will (or at least should) warn you if it's a clash serious enough to break the quest chain for another faction (you do have to choose sides towards the end of the main quest line) but it won't necessarily warn you about a faction quest that reduces your reputation with another faction, not even if that's the final straw that reduces your reputation to a critically low level.
 
Fallout 4 just went all the way to 11 for me... twice!

First was
doing the USS Constitution mission. Sided with the robots and that ending, well it had my sides splitting. I'm not sure how much use the cannon will be vs missile launcher but a feelgood mission.

Second was
finishing Silver Shroud. I'm not a fan of comic book stuff usually but this somehow hit my "wah wah" chord. Had already seen on Reddit you need to work hard (or a deal of luck) to keep Kent alive and finally managed this after several attempts. To then get a progressively upgraded silver shroud coat as armour was the icing on the cake, all my other pieces now donated to companions and this is all I'll wear (except when Power Armour needed).
 
I'm strangely irritated by the lack of washing and cloth manufacturing in the Commonwealth. It's been over 200 years since the collapse of civilisation and nobody has bothered making a clean mattress even though they're had a few stable villages (e.g. Diamond City) for at least a century. It's implausible. People would rather sleep on a clean straw-filled sack than a filthy ancient mattress and in that time they should have developed something better than a straw-filled sack. Some plants can be used to make cloth - why is there no evidence of anyone trying? I have settlements producing enough purified water for 20 times the population - why isn't anyone washing themself or their clothes? Why aren't they tidying the place up a bit? There are weeds and debris all over settlements - the settlers are even leaving skeletons lying around!

Obviously, it's because those things weren't written into the game, but the lack of an explanation for these apparently unrealistic things irritates me.
 
There are numerous clean mattresses in the workshop, but I guess that Bethesda thinks people would be too busy simply trying to survive to worry about that - bigger fish to fry etc.
 
I still have problems with Sanctuary, the moment I leave it somehow has insufficient beds and happiness drops, when I'm in it, more than enough beds. How do I solve this bug ?


What is the button to move items around btw ?
I also accidentally marked ceramic items, how do I remove this mark ?

There's at least one where it doesn't, there's a Brotherhood quest that makes you enemies with the Railroad, no chance to back out, no choices in the conversation and no going to the Railroad and saying "Look the Brotherhood asked me to do this, but I'm siding with you guys" options, even talking to the quest giver makes you enemies with them.

This has always been the case in the fallout games tbh and is something that has always annoyed me. I get that the wasteland isn't the nicest place to live, but it is ridiculous that people will live work and sleep in such conditions that it would be incredibly simple to improve. People in diamond city sleep on a dirty sleeping bag on the floor with crap all around them and can't be bothered to knock up something better and tidy up a bit.

My favourite is the NCR embassy in New Vegas... So mr ambassador, you have been living and working here for 20 years or so and nobody has bothered to remove that skeleton from the empty room, or all of the general rubbish that is lying around your office?!

Detail like this has always been poor in these games. I've learned to ignore it tbh!

I'm at the point now where I just want the game off my hard drive! So I'm cheating all the way through to the end, started cheating after I found the ammo for that big robot thing. It was becoming boring and tedious, especially having to go back to respawning areas I've already cleared just to do a quest! Plus loading with every new area in/out of a building was zzzzz worthy.

Same enemies, no love or care for any of the characters and generally it doesn't pull me in as much as Fallout 3 or vegas did. I'll complete it and come back to it much later when more of the community has updated this pos.

With The Witcher 3 I was engrossed, I loved the world, the characters, the story and the DLC's. I spent many hours on that from start to finish!

Opposite for me, once I got bored of the combat Witcher 3 was a tedious dialogue crawl with no rewards for doing anything. :) Both decent games mind.
