I thought that had more to do with asking if you fucked dogs and stuff. But i've probably played too much of loverslabs mods in my life.

Oh right, something to add to the actual thread.
What I learned from Fallout 4 was that for intelligent scientists, no one in the Institute thought to add in tracking software or a tracer tag to synths before they go out.
I also learned that apparently all it takes to change the caliber of ammunition you use is to just put in a different magazine!

The receiver. Receiver. Barrel intact.

IIRC weren't there mod options available where you could just switch between 308 or 5.56 just by switching the mag type in the modification menu? I remember this really flustering me.

Nope, only capacity and the type of magazine itself, not caliber.

Well, still retarded. I dont know how this got past Q&A that somehow all you need to do to use a higher caliber is fit it into the receiver! I'm not sure if this or the combat shotgun from 3 is worse.

What's wrong with that?

Well, you feed the ammunition from the magazine at the front, which somehow ejects rounds out the back and either doesnt use over half the barrel of the shotgun itself, or somehow feeds the shells backwards to work like a proper gun. Either way the design is entirely insane and would make much more sense to just work normally and have the drum magazine at the back, near the trigger.

Ah I see, I thought you were talking about the combat shotgun in Fallout New Vegas.

Nah, Obsidian did their Riot Shotgun really well. I enjoyed that one.
Dr Fallout

Yeah that's the one.

Where'd That 6th Toe Come From?
I would of liked it better if it had a stock.
CourierC-212

A stock would be nice to brace against the recoil, but I also like the smaller size of the gun without the stock myself. I cant remember if there was a mod for a stock for it in the game though.

Oh, you can see a nuclear bomb from roughly 50 miles away ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MASSACHUSETTS.

If you mean the one at the start of the game, you're so close to the explosion itself you and the rest of the vault dwellers should logically have massive serious burns, if not dead or blind from the flash. Hell, maybe fallout 4 doesnt really make sense because its the last fevered thoughts of the burnt sole survivor?

Again, if the map is to represent Massachusetts then there's no way in hell you would be able to see that nuclear explosion. Only one bomb is dropped in the Glowing Sea and we see the result of that with miles and miles of in-game miles separating the two.
If you actually only assume it to represent a much smaller area and compare it to Boston's size then it's still at least twenty miles away and the minimum safe distance from a bomb's blast radius is 13 miles (where you suffer 1st degree burns).
In short, they were well past the safe distance area but for some reason showed the bomb much much closer.

Well by the distance and sight of the bomb, it must have been a hell of a nuke. Who knows. Might even be beyond the strength of a Tsar Bomb.

The Chinese apparently really had a thing for shock and awe.
Also salting the Earth.
Of course, if the gameworld is supposed to represent Massachusetts then that bomb leveled hundreds of miles and turned them into irradiated hell.
And according to the Yangtze Captain, he deliberately MISSED.

Yea, makes ya think what the worst case scenario would be. Course Bethesda is pretty terrible when it comes to having an eye for realistic measurements. Theyre a bit out there like George Martin on things like that. Odds are it was supposed to just look impressive, rather than be realistic, like the mothership Zeta gun from Fallout 3.
