So I played Falloit 4 pretty heavily in December but kinda quit cold turkey after Christmas when I was 4+ days in at lvl 51. It's a personality thing, I over-indulge and burn out. Anyways, I was a bit underwhelmed at the time by tue pacify skill as there were two problems. First, the enemies seemed to become unpacified after I stepped too far away, even if I never left the same room. Which kind if defeated the purpose of trying NOT to kill them. Secondly, my companions would still fire on them and they'd go hostile again.


So I just started playing for the first time since the latest patch and noticed that pacified enemies stay pacified now until you leave the area, which seems like a quality change. Also, I started riding solo and carrying around a well-loaded syringe rifle with non-lethal darts. It allowed me to control the fighting preventing stray bullets to provoke pacified enemies to hostile again. The syringe rifle gave me a 30 second reprieve should my first pacify attempt fail.


It's working rather well and is a nice change of pace from just gunnung down everything. At lvl 3 I can trade with anyone I pacify and loot them anyway. When they follow me however they don't seem to quick travel. Would like to see that added. Also, the feature is still buggy. I pacified Cinder yesterday and yet she still kept fighting me. Instead if having another "pacify" command appear when I targeted her, I just had the "command" option appear as if she was already pacified. Also seeing it go off as if I successfully pacified enemies I didn't intend to pacify. Just randomly. Anyways, not sure if Bethesda has tweaked this skill any but it sure seems like they have. Still needs tweaking though.

Pacify is a great step foward for Fallout.

they do? boy would i be happy if they fixed this. boy have i been complaining about undue expiration ruining the perk )

I pacified a number of raiders in the subway station where Cinder is. It's a fairly large area. I ran all the way down a subway car and back up everyone was still standing there with their hands in the air.

yay!

just tried and walked a peace stag half the way from greygarden to sunshine tidings without it turning on me!

i'm happy!

rest in peace, Sole Survivor,

long live The Friendly Forester! )
