Hotkeying loadouts

Post » Wed Dec 02, 2015 8:15 am

This would be awesome if Fallout 4 allows you to hotkey loadouts from your pipboy, similar to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyH4vrve1io. This could be very useful for random radiation storms (rad suit, RadAway, Med-X etc) or different combat scenarios like indoor combat (heavy armor, non explosive weapon) or outdoor combat (light armor, explosive weapon).

Apparently the favorites menu was revealed at Quakecon, and it's radial, a circle, and that they had Stimpaks hotkeyed (and there was even an animation of the Stimpak being used). I really like the sound of that - I loved Dishonored's quickmenu (I know other games have used a radial menu, but it's the first one that comes to mind).

Skeptical to see that happen consider the quick selection is a wheel, can't see how the pip boy ui could smoothly support that either.

Sounds dope. I'm hoping the Pipboy also has a sort and search function to quickly find what you're looking for.

Oh, hotkeying entire loadouts so that everything you've currently got equipped gets swapped out with something else? Yeah, that might be a bit too much - I think just being able to fast-swap weapons is enough, I don't need to change my entire set of equipment in one hotkey press. I generally don't even carry more than one set of armor.

I've played games with loadouts before and I never really liked it. It's a little too convenient. I mean, it's not really hard to go into your inventory and change your clothes as it is.. but it adds a little bit of time consumption which is a teensy bit more realistic than magically changing all your clothes and weapons instantaneously.

We PC owners probably need FallUI as fast as possible! :) Not for pipboy... but for everything else.
