( ?° ?? ?°) Dat Radiation Suit...Musings and Observations

Post » Sun Nov 29, 2015 10:49 am

* The Radiation Suit is epic this time around. It looks fantastic, much like a cold-war space suit/ fighter would look. The air tanks on the back make this look super . I would proudly walk around in this bad boy all the time, rather than hide and use its ugly predecessor sparingly in FO3/ NV.

* The ambient music. Unnnnh. So good. It's simply epic. Was clearing out the Coverga Assembly plant and got caught in a bind with limited ammo. Raiders started piling in from the upper floors, forcing me to the bottom. I found the little raider den/ rest camp area and funneled them into this area. *Cue epic showdown music* One by one i dropped each Raider when they stepped in...the odds were overwhelmingly against me....I went all out with this fantastic music playing in the background. Never felt this way, emotions when playing a game in an event like this....it was amazing.

* I'm really liking the layered armoring system. Really excited what other options we get later on in the game through DLC and (console) mods. I'm currently seeing metal/ raider/ leather options. Do they expand as I level up or is that pretty much it?

* Starting off small with a house. I'm currently modifying the Red Racer station where I found Dogmeat. I put a bed and a door in the room behind the counter. Is there any way to add doors to the door-less frames next to the garage (not the actual garage door...found the button to close it)?

* I'm really liking the voiced protagonist. It adds some flavor to the voiceless character of FO's of the past. I think it's a step in a different, but good direction. I became extremely attached to other voiced protagonists I've created in the past such as my Femshep from the Mass Effect series. Overall, I like the voiced inclusion and think it's a breath of fresh air.

* Still relatively upset about the exclusion of visible weapon holsters. I know most folks are in different camps on this, but it bugs me that it was included in all prior Bethesda releases (TES and FO) yet it's not in their newest iteration in 2015. To top it off, there's literally a shot gun strapped to the back of the male and female sole survivor on the box art (male outside/ female inside). I'm hoping this is later implemented in an update or mod (Xbox One console).

* I heard you can equip Dogmeat with goggles and a scarf...where can I get these items and how would I go about him equipping the equipment?

1. Liked the look of the suit as well.

2. Goosebump-time.

3.

Spoiler
I′ve seen Leather, Raider, Metal and Combat so far

4. Yes, you can place doors. Select a door you like and fit it within the doorframe. You might have to rotate the door.

5. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don′t. But overall I like it so far.

6. Time will tell.

7. You can get armor and more from dogs all around the wasteland. Then all you have to do is "trade" with dogmeat, transfer the items over to him and manually equip them. Companions no longer equip better gear automatically, instead you have to tell them to.

Yeah. The radiation suit is great. And radiation is dangerous enough in Fallout 4 to encourage you to use it. I wouldn't think of going anywhere in Fallout 4 without my radiation suit now that I've got one.
