    PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

    I'm sorry if this has been brought up before, but can we talk about the Steel Pickaxe? The swing animation looks funky. Not James Brown funky either, like Rick James on yo couch funky. I get that the speed of swings for basically everything was buffed (and that's been fantastic for prison shank...

    PC B155 was nowhere near ready for public stable.

    I can get 50-60 in the snow, but I've had to tweak the settings to make it so. Saying that makes me feel like I'm bragging though.

    This is normal for some time. RNGesus giveth and taketh away. In the perception tree, Lucky Looter, will give you a bit of a boost to your loot level to help with loot itself. 1-2 items will be fairly normal for the first few days, in my experience. If you're wanting to get to level 3-4 early...

    PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

    Well, attempt #1 to recreate the "zombies know where you are upon loading back into a game after logging off" was a failure. However, when I logged out (again, night time) I had what sounded like 2 around me, but my little eye meter was showing 1. Now that I've logged back in, it's showing 10...

    I like this. I thought Courier Special, since 44 Special is a caliber that 44 magnum can fire (and I prefer to shoot for the preservation of my wrists), but Courier Six is also really nice. With the tag: "Deliverin 6 packages to the dome at 1300fps" as the description lol.

    I think this is saying that, everything is 10% less, but Forged Steel and Electrical Devices are an additional 5% off; so not so much they're not considered a forge recipe, but more that you're getting an additional bonus on top of the 10%? Not a dev obviously, but hope that helps.

    Apologies, by Courier Special, I was trying to provide an idea for a gun name that wasn't directly taking a weapon name from the game (NV) itself (adam mentioned the Ranger Sequoia--I'm partial to the Mysterious Magnum). So Courier Special to shoutout to the PC of New Vegas, and obviously make...

    Nah, AKs are notoriously difficult to ruin. You could drop one in a pond for a few years, rinse the mud out and it'd fire. Glock likely would too. The simpler the design, the lesser the firearm is to FTF. Bolt Action rifles can take an astonishing amount of punishment before they start acting up...

    No no, Bethesda didn't let go of Fallout. Like how Rose never let go of Jack. The difference in the analogy, of course, is where Jack and Rose were floating on a door in a freezing ocean, Bethesda is sitting in a liferaft holding onto Fallout by the foot shouting "I'll never let you go!"

    PC Melee combat and Spears are still broken

    Early game spears are very weak. Once you've thrown (heh) a few points into them, they start to pierce (heheh) through that muck. Just gotta poke around with their playstyle a bit is all. The range isn't actually as limited as you'd think, it just seems that way. Try slinging them a bit more...

    Yessir, been a fan since FO2, but in reality, New Vegas is where it's at. Maybe that's why the Desert was so fun in the new game I started... If we can only get a legendary "Courier Special" revolver when legendary items hit...whoo boy lol. - - - Updated - - - They did stop making it. It's...

    Oklahoma here, boars are no joke! I'd also agree; wild pigs are mean as hell, would like to see some randomized behavior between skittishness, agression, and being aloof. And now that I'm thinking about wildlife, I'd love to see raccoons. If there was ever a forest critter I'd never mess with...

    I'd like to see coyotes in more biomes also. We have them around here as well, especially at night as you said. Can hear them hollering. Now the real question is, is it kai-oh-tee, or kai-oat? Cause 'round here, we call 'em kai-oats. Mountain Lions though, I'm happy with staying in a singular...

    PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

    I don't know that I've issued out my thanks yet for this new experimental Alpha, so let me go ahead and do it. First of all, I came from console. 3 years or so of it, before my wife surprised me with the birthday gift of a PC. Seriously among the best gifts I've ever received, besides my kids...

    PC Alpha 18 Dev Diary!!

    Ah, something I thought of that happened the other day. Going to try to replicate it. The other night I ended up logging off during the night time in game; there were zombies around my little house, but they didn't know where I was. I was crouched and waiting it out because I'd upped the...
