Question Can I progress the game if I encounter a glitch?

1 Upvotes

My game glitched while completing the quest with Nick where you enter Kelloggs memories. When I got out of the machine the doctor didn’t que the dialog to continue and I don’t want to go all the way back to a previous save. I’m playing on PS4, is there any way to finish? Like if I go to Virgil’s cave will he be there?

Discussion Ranting about companions

Upvotes

I am SO SICK of dying due to cait blocking a doorway leaving me unable to get behind cover when I need to reload 😭 is there anyway to stop them from
Blocking your way? A mod to make them “walk-throughable” or something? I usually command her and make her walk in rooms before me but she always runs back to the doorway and just sits in it…she can shoot around corners, I can’t even do that so it’s not like I can copy her and hold the doorway…if I step in as much as I have to to be able to shoot the enemy in the room, cait instantly takes the doorway spot leaving me trapped in the room with no cover…I like having a companion for the extra carry weight and distraction in fights but she makes it IMPOSSIBLE to clear out buildings. We’re fine outside but inside she gets me killed more often than anything else

When I go from a holstered weapon to drawing the weapon it makes an ungodly sound. It also sometimes crashes my game. I've tried downloading mods to change it but nothing has worked.

Please help. I have 300+ hours on this character and almost 200 mods.

Discussion The CC quests that require finding a holotape or note to start are dumb and obtuse.

0 Upvotes

I find it incredibly silly that in a game as guided as Fallout 4 that the main way the bulk of creation club content requires you to start a quest is through finding a tiny little holo-tape in the sphincter of some skeleton in a shitter out the back of a supermarket. It means you're constantly worried about missing out on content when going through areas and I often google the location I'm in or checking the installed section of my mods mid game to make sure I haven't missed some cool item I paid 30 bucks for with the creation bundle.

I think that when you enter the area there should be some indication of "heyo there's a side quest here, don't exit through the roof of Hubris comics without looking at a desk with literally nothing else on it and that you're conditioned to run past automatically after 11 years of playing this game. DONT MISS THIS!"

Highlighting the tape and notes like how you can with scrap tagging might be a solution, or maybe starting the quest automatically when entering the area with the quest start item and tagging it with a marker to then start the quest properly and exposition dump you like it normally does. Idk. Just a little tiny hint might be good. Or maybe I'm spoiled by years of quest markers and I need to gitgud and examine the dust particle of the environments more to make sure none are holo-tapes

Discussion Maxson being a little baby. Spoiler

21 Upvotes

I just completed the base game quest line and was able to keep the Minutemen, Railroad, and Brotherhood somewhat happy by blowing up The Institute. After completing this, talking with some of the NPCs, they seem okay with how I handled The Institute.

Talk with people on the Prydwen, they even seem okay with everything. But when I go to talk with Maxson, he keeps ignoring me. Like.... come on dude. I am still knocking out quest for the BoS, and you still want to sulk. Come on bro... You didn't even have to use Liberty Prime and I probably saved thousands of lives. You should be happy that they are gone, and keep the peace between the Commonwealth and BoS.

Question Mods to use alongside Moribund world?

0 Upvotes

I wanna have that kind of apocalyptic dread feeling and look and I've seen some videos with Moribund world that looks very yellow and spooky and I am not sure if maybe that's only in certain areas but some parts still seem pretty clear like around sanctuary. Right now I am using Moribund, true storms and lightweight lightning. I have a patch that is meant to combine these but not sure if maybe any of these might make it feel less apocalyptic or something.

Question Does "You're special" book duplication glitch still work on PS4?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I completed Fallout 4 Goty years ago on PS4 but never managed to max out all of my perks.

A couple of days ago, I found out that there is an exploit that allows one to gain an infinite number of stat points.

So far, I've tried 2 glitches suggested by Google AI but can't seem to be able to get them to work.

One is dropping the "You're special" book on the ground and then picking it up at the same time as Dogmeat. The other involves scrapping and modifying a weapon at the same time at the workbench.

Has anyone here managed to get these exploits to work on PS4 recently?

Thank you!

Advice for a better long range weapon?

1 Upvotes

I've got a wounding combat rifle with the .308 receiver that seems to be the best thing I can get. I've got Rifleman maxed. It's got 135 or 185 damage... I forget... plus the wounding effect. It's got 203 range or something like that, high accuracy, and a 49 ROF.

I haven't done any of the DLCs yet. I haven't even finished the story either.

I've been going to Dunwitch Borers and trying different guns on the same Raider Veteran on Very Hard difficulty (at level 67) to see what works best.

I've got the Overseer's Guardian, but it doesn't do VATS well at range and the wounding rifle seems to be more effective outside of VATS anyway.

I've tried Spray N Pray (without maxxing Commando, maybe I should try that) and the wounding rifle needed 5 or 6 rounds to drop the Veteran, where Spray N Pray needed tons of ammo pumped into it.

I maxed out The Deliverer and maxed Gunslinger. It was pretty good at close range on head shots, but has crap long range.

I tried a wounding combat shotgun thinking maybe getting close would destroy enemies. The wounding rifle was still better.

I've got a base gauss rifle and a modded one that does over 400 damage, but the wounding rifle is still better.

Kellog's pistol with Gunslinger maxed wasn't impressive. I've tried an incendiary 10mm pistol maxed out. Not impressive either.

Missle launchers, grenade launchers, sniper/hunting rifles with really low rates of fire aren't fun. I've got some miniguns (no Big Guns points) but the way they have to warm up to fire is annoying, and they rip through ammo.

The wounding rifle can pick stuff off from far away in or out of VATS, and it fires pretty quickly out of VATS.

Is there anything that I'm not aware of yet?

I legit just told someone no I don’t want to help and she disliked that??? I get she a good character but how is me not wanting to collect some mutated ferns a selfish thing???? This is why I don’t play fallout 4 and only new Vegas. Cause I don’t see how it’s selfish for not wanting to do a quest that I can simply go back and say yes later. Why I like NV I can simply tell them not right now and it won’t matter

Re Enabling Survival Mode with Console Commands

4 Upvotes

Good news! Thanks to someone on steam, I have figured out how to re enter survival mode and do it infinite times!

cgf "Game.IncrementStat" "Survival Denied" -1

That is what you enter your first ever time after you exit trying to fix a bug. But if you try it again, it is suddenly impossible! Here is the solution to fix that!

cgf "Game.IncrementStat" "Survival Denied" +1

It was an integer overflow. Do this before then the initial minus 1 to get access to survival mode.

Credit to Menthy on steam.

Hope this reaches out and helps a lot of players!
