Got F4 on ps5. I haven't played it since ps4 years ago so there's a lot I forgot lmao. So far codsworth, dogmeat, ada, preston, danse, piper and deacon joined.

I have piper following me now lol. I've been following seniorbill's guide. Got the overseer guardian gun from Vault 88.

Anything you would recommend? I read something about how doing Nuka World early apparently is useful.

Never actually used Cait much iirc. Is she worth the trouble? I remember she was good at picking locks lol and you could get her to break her addiction. I remember making Curie human.

I heard PS4/5 suck ass as a port. But well.

Good, that gun is a bit broken in the base game.

Just play the game and get some legendary combat armor. There's a lot of traders who had those armor effects.

If you don't invest perks in Locksmith, she's better to unlock some advanced+ locks. She's the only one who like you being violent thought.

True. And you can romance her to get Lover's Embrace which is pretty broken too.
I remember making Curie human.
She's the best.
 
why would you do this
honestly, not surpising considering who it is.

honestly, dogmeat is the best because of both lone wanderer and attack dog perks that can make you tanky as fuck even in survival difficulty, if i recall the unofficial patch makes lone wanderer not work with dogmeat unlike vanilla FO4...
EVERYONE ELSE SUCKS.

I found Cait okay when I was playing. If you cure her addiction she'll turn into a straight-edge weiner about half of her likes. Still very easy to keep her topped up because she likes you picking locks and doing other basic shit.

One of the few followers I remember being annoying to actually ingratiate yourself to was Strong because he wants you to act like a violent retard as often as possible. Interact with anything beyond smashing it? He dislikes it. It makes sense but the constant whining from him made me leave his ass waddling around Sanctuary Hills.

Strong always felt like a companion better fit for something like FO3 as a evil karma follower. Every follower in 4 feels like they can fit every morality alignment except evil, most of them hate murder and doing some other mundane thing. Strong is just the like one exception to this rule besides Gage who's a dlc companion.

I don't really remember FO3 doing an "evil" one well. The closest I recall is that shady jackass in Megaton you could recruit if you were neutral or lower. He'd just bellyache if you got too high of Karma and fuck off. Never quite understood why Sergeant Gutsy would also get angry about your karma when its a military bot. Felt really arbitrary.

Does Gage also belly-ache I never bought Nuka World because I've never been big on 4.
 
Ironically its not broken. It was on sale cheap and I was bored.
Are you playing the Anniversary/Next Gen edition? If so, it is indeed broken, because the game itself has been broken by updates over the last few years and the only way to unfuck them is to manually downgrade to an earlier version of the game. This is only possible on PC.
Oh, and if you're playing Anniversary edtition, the game just forces dozens of crappy, poorly made mods that destroy any semblance of balance the game might have had by giving you extremely powerful items early on, the game even points them out on the map for you the moment you leave the Vault. You got to wonder just what the point of being a new Fallout 4 player is nowdays, the only way to enjoy the game is to have esoteric knowledge of how to fix it and that requires years of personal experience or hours of research looking into guides/downloading mods.

It's PS5, so it's a given. I don't think PS4/XBOne got the Next Gen update and so didn't get Anniversary.
Now if only they weren't so mangled in the console porting process that SE support is a pipe dream.
Oh well.

GoG allows easy rollback instead of needing the tedious Depot shenanigans or just flat installing specific versions. Not exactly esoteric anymore, though i don't know if they got Anni/NG set as the default branch as all of my GoG installs are via actual installers instead of the shitty client.
Got F4 on ps5.
All that being said, why? Both for 'got on console' and 'got for current-gen console', if you're willing to elaborate.
Anything you would recommend?
Most of my recommendations prerequisite PC for Script Extender, mainly for stability. I think America Rising 2 has a bethnet posting so you could probably grab that at some point once you get bored of the basegame mainquests.
Cait is okay but don't bother with curing her, the companion perk is shit (brief AP regen below 25% HP) and she's far more useful in her current state anyways (before curing, she'll use chems in her inventory during combat).
Same goes for making Curie """"human"""" but that's mainly because Automatron exists and the restorative she provides afterwards isn't worth it.
I read something about how doing Nuka World early apparently is useful.
Its loot is L30+ by default and both the pre-placed items (re: nuka PA of both varieties, guns, etc.) and the random shit you'll end up with (handmade rifle, also etc.) outpace nearly anything from the basegame for until around L45 or so.
That being said, it will kick your ass if you don't wait, and you'll blitz it if you do. Really a question of whether you want to have fun with the DLC or not.
I'd recommend Far Harbor over Nuka World.

I originally had the goty edition on ps4 years ago before I sold it. So its the standard game on ps5 but with all the dlc. No anniversary edition though because it sounds blah to me. It's been about 8 years since I had beaten it on ps4.

Now if they could port 3 and NV that'd be interesting.
 
Nuka World only works if you are melee-cannibal.
Generally i just play the DLC until the invade part to the Commonwealth with Gage perk unlocked. At that point, i just blast Swank into oblivion and all the other motherfuckers.
 
The first time I played through Nuka World, I slaughtered all the bandits immediately and was surprised that it was over at that point and decided to rummage through the rest of the map anyway. I thought, "I love these setpieces, what the fuck am I doing here? Is there a purpose to this?" Only to later find out that there's only a purpose to any of it if you team up with the raiders which makes Preston perma-hate you. Whatever, at least I got some cool nukabot parts to transform Codsworth into a vending machine that only dispenses death
Fallout is just a merch brand now.
now?
 
one of thr 23423525 mods i downloaded let me kill preston because he is an enclave operative lmao
Thuggy's Outcasts and Remnants, which hilariously if done in that manner conflicts with Thuggy's Depravity/Diary of a Madman rather violently.
They're not great mods but there's at least effort put into them. For example, they violate canon less than the show does.
 
I played all the games, excluding BoS and 76, and have no plans to watch the show.
It was obvious that it was going to suck. Game to movie adaptations are basically always shit. I can't think of any good one.
It's basically just a giant reference-fest for Redditors written by people with only a superficial understanding of the material they are adapting. The whole intention of such adaptations is to hook up normgroids who never played the games or jerk off the consoomer type "fans" so they can do the soy_face_pointing_at_thing.jpg while watching this slop.
Yeah but usually they're at least not openly malicious towards the source material and the original fans, just incompetently and carelessly made. This show is clearly written to piss OG Fallout and especially New Vegas fans off on top of also being terrible on its own merits.
