We also run into some raiders-we literally turn a corner and bump into one. I already found them scary to deal with: when they hit top speed they're lightning quick, and when I encounter a pack they're all over me and Curie. The shooting was coming from some raiders fighting ghouls around the corner. I look him up and discover he's the credit card con man, so no great loss there.

Turns out the person I kill is Parker Quinn, now known as The Charred Remains of Parker Quinn. I have no interest in dying and winding up back at The Castle again, so when I hear some shots nearby and spot someone at the end of the street I just fire without thinking. I'm still a little edgy as a result of the encounter.
Fallout 4 [m] update#
In fact, the survival update makes combat damage greater for both you and your opponents, which may be why the head popped off this super mutant so easily. Survival mode hasn't lessened the impact of my deadly bullets of death. 50 sniper rifle with enemy tracking scope and incendiary rounds. A super mutant and his super-mutated dog first hear us, then charge us. This a very dense area in terms of buildings, and it doesn't take us long to run into trouble. Maybe I should have started my game back at my main settlement, standing in front of a big box.Ĭurie and I head out, and worried about the increased combat damage and the fact that enemies are no longer marked on the radar, I crouch-walk for the first ten minutes. I call Curie back over and stuff as much as I can into her pockets-which isn't much since companion carry weight has also been nerfed-but I still have to drop tons and tons more loot. Ammo has weight now too, and I've got hundreds of rounds of ammo I never use. Having dropped 200 pounds of loot on the ground, I'm still over-encumbered. So, I take a leisurely jaunt through my inventory, discarding the things I don't need, then the things I probably won't need, then the things I most likely will need, and finally, stuff I really, really do need. In fact, if you're over-encumbered for too long, you'll actually begin to damage your legs. Carry weight in survival has been cranked down, and most formerly weightless items like Stimpaks have been given mass so you simply can't take everything with you. Over-encumbered with questions about where everyone's hair went, maybe.Īpart from Curie's curious chrome-dome, the other I thing I pick up on is that I'm way over-encumbered, far too much to run, even in my beefed up power armor.

Being bald myself in real life, I'm happy to inhabit an entire world of baldies. I hope this weird bug remains part of survival mode, though. I'm afraid to go look for Dogmeat as he might be hairless as well. When I climb out of my power armor a bit later, I notice my character is also bald.

It's hard not to notice that for some reason she is completely bald, however. With me is my companion Curie, in human form, and she's apparently in the mood to flirt with me. Turns out I'm at The Castle, one of Preston Garvey's many, many, many goddamn settlement locations. I haven't played Fallout 4 in while, so I experienced the old "Where the hell am I?" feeling when loading up my last save. You can read all the details here, and I'll go over more of them as they come up. You need to eat, drink, and rest or suffer fatigue which lowers your immunity and eventually damages your health. Your adrenaline increases the more kills you get, but sleeping lowers your adrenaline levels. If you want to save your game, you have to find an available bed and get some sleep.
Fallout 4 [m] manual#
Here's the basics of the new survival mode, which is in beta: no more fast-travel, no more manual saves, and even most auto-saves are disabled (which I personally think is stupid, but we'll get to that).
