Bethesda just released their beta to Steam with some additional details about what the update includes. It seems they've added a number of extra settlement customizations.

Opinion: My personal feeling is the settlements need more than just "stuff". I can't even get my settlers to use half the settlement they're in and half the fun of defense turrets is watching them mow down raiders... but with a defense so high you never get raided? Still holding out for some major settlement changes to make them worth investing in.

Yes, yes, add the hundred more things that add no gameplay value, that modders have already succeeded first, and that should've been there from release. Well done, Bethesda. You smart good.

Hang on, why does no one else ever cover these updates? Is Korin the only administrator on this forum? :confused:
 
I guess it's a good thing they started to be honest about "being in beta" at last.
/edit: "Support for add-ons"? Is that official mod-support? There's no option in the launcher, though...
/edit: Nevermind, it's in-game now. That's actually nifty. Will probably break, but still nifty.

Did they fix that TAB bug with the pipboy yet or is it still there?

Well they added the raider clutter but where is the option to start or join a raider faction to put a settlement with a raider look to use? Not that settlements were that useful to begin with.
 
Yeah it's not going to be jarring at all to have Piper living in a house surrounded by flesh-bags.
Cause I doubt the NPC's will comment on any of this morbid stuff.

Of course they won't. Look at this. Even Piper, Preston and Valentine, who were all practically authoritarian about being good people, did not give more of a fuck than a couple of off-hand comments. Bethesda's brand of "complex" writing and AI, ladies and gentlemen.
 
Oh boy, signs. Oh boy, crafting items that add zero gameplay. How about a new feature, a quest pack with actual choices involved, or new weapon/armor packs? And about time some of these bugged quests got fixed.

Well, the news team can post this kind of stuff but Korin is the unofficial Bethesda lover AND administrator AND he does a good job so there you go. He also seems to be active on here quite a bit since he is keeping this ship afloat.

Korin for prez 2016.

Oh and I just saw my favorite phrase being repeated by another puppet:

"Relax. I'm tired of fans acting entitled about mods and the Creation Kit."

:wtf:

I'm starting to think these kids don't know what that word means.
 
lmao, those Beth fans are saying that modding tools are a gift. If those tools should be considered anything they're closer to a pre-order bonus, as in people are buying the game because of the modding kit and mods.

Quiet! You're giving Bethesda more ideas - oh what does it matter, they've probably already thought of it two years in advance.

Because Bethesda fans would just hate it if they couldn't use their cannibalism perk because one of their companions might leave. That would mean there were actual consequences for your actions.
 
Yea companion likes/dislikes in Fallout 4 are insultingly stupid. They make no sense whatsoever and were given ZERO effort.

The likes/dislikes of companions is just a spit in the face of anyone who thought they were getting a Fallout game.

"Oh you want to interact with characters? Ok go pick those locks over there and then Piper will tell you she's in love with you and sleep with you." Yea that is not acceptable effort and there is no reasonable defense of such things.

And that would be fine had they actually done a decent job of writing the Romance dialogue. The moment you romance a companion, be warned you are in for the cringiest dialogue in the entire game.

I guess this so you can pretend to be evil while crying about your missing kid.

It's not evil... it's mal-adaptive coping.
