#fallout1st — Public Fediverse posts

No #Bethesda for the last time I DO NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN YOUR INSIPID BLOOD MAGIC CULT RITUALS devoted to—get this—IDOLATRY OF AN ENTITY WHICH WITHIN THIS FICTIONAL UNIVERSE IS IN FACT A REAL ANIMAL MISTAKEN FOR SUPERNATURAL AND DIVINE

Get a fuckin’ grip. It’s just a giant fuckin’ radowl. Actual historical descriptions of the mothman cryptid were indistinguishable from the Middle-eastern legend of the Djinn, mystical entities worthy of fear.

So hey. Would you please kindly allow me to drop a nuke on Point Pleasant and exterminate the entire Cult of the Mothman from my playthrough once and for all? Maybe as a set-up for the “true” djinn-like mothmen’s return to post-apocalyptic Appalachia?

PLEASE AND THANK YOU

I finally did it. I finally pulled it off. I stabilized enough violet flux to craft the combined +100 carry weight mods for my X-01 power armor

In the process I accidentally woke up the Scorchbeast Queen…

But hey at least I snapped this really pretty photo.

Ground Zero between West Tek and Huntersville was a decent choice, paired with the Bloatfly Syringer strategy. Still a tediously extensive process to farm high-radiation fluids this way, but at least I finally got enough.

Unfortunately by the time I tracked down any glowing mutations in the blast zone—by bee-lining for the deathclaw on the ridge overlooking West Tek Research Center, which I knew would survive the blast—all my violet and fluorescent flux went inert and there weren’t any sources for them in the blast zone. So now I have to speedrun a silo yet again and pick a more suitable high-population site with all the right flora and… JFC

Watching the mushroom cloud rise on the horizon from Foundation though? Most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

Ahhhh my first Prime Receiver, and what a weapon to upgrade it with: a three-star legendary Prime Gauss Shotgun!

#Fallout76 #Fallout1st #Fallout #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

Oh yeah I randomly completed my bobblehead collection this week and have been so distracted by wanton and gratuitous nuking of Appalachia that I very nearly forgot to share

#Fallout76 #Fallout1st #Fallout #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

You know what? Solo speedrunning all three silos in one day really is too much. And I still fell short by exactly one unit of high-radiation fluids for the flux I needed to stabilize. Every ghoul in Morgantown let me down.

Still. I got some spectacular screenshots.

Had to take a full #NukashineBlackout break to get the fuck away from Grahn, whom for sone reason started trashing my workshop in the blast zone WHILE REFUSING TO TRADE

But get this! I came to with an empty bottle of Nukashine on the cliffs _directly overlooking_ Site Bravo—so it was clearly meant fo be

Or at the very least it’s my unconscious mind saying, “stop wasting time and finish your speedrun slready, you can explore the blast zones once all of Appalachia is burning”

#Fallout76 #Fallout1st #Fallout #Nukashine #EnclaveFaction #SciFi #Gaming #Xbox #XboxSeriesX

“New #Fallout76 challenge: solo speedrun all three silos in one sitting and nuke the fuckin’ shit outta Appalachia” sounds great in theory

But the actual target is always such a tough choice…

Still, my priority is to harvest a metric shit tonne of raw violet flux, with fingers crossed for enough horrific mutations along the edge of the blast zone so that I can also harvest sufficient stabilizers.

So I _think_ the border between the Mire and Cranberry Bog is the best choice.

Of course, Morgantown is pretty good too. And sooooo mannnnyyyy feral ghouls. Ah, I’ll nuke that again next from Site Bravo.

New #Fallout76 challenge: solo speedrun all three silos in one sitting and nuke the fuckin’ shit outta Appalachia.

I’ll show the Overseer a new arms race. Muah-ah-ah-ah-ahhhhhhhh

#Fallout1st #Fallout #EnclaveFaction #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

Welp. It’s official. I just beat a Level 100 Glowing Deathclaw to death with a Gulper Smacker

#Fallout76 #Fallout1st #Fallout #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

Now that I can freely solo speedrun the silos, I have only one objective for all of Appalachia

Seemed only fitting to commemorate this with my own abandoned silo shelter. Only wish I could launch strikes from here.

Although funny story. Those two Scorchbeasts and their army of footsoldiers I mentioned above?

I killed them all with my handmade rifle, showed again below.

It’s a bloody beast—with the hardened automatic receiver, literally liquifying the Scorched with the sheer concussive force of the rounds.

#Fallout76 #Fallout1st #Fallout #SciFi #Gaming #Xbox #XboxSeriesX

Of all the recent additions to #Fallout76 by far the most intrinsically offensive is the “fear attack” from cryptids like the Blue Devil and Wendigo Colossus

Like give me a fuckin’ shit—I charge into danger and brutally slaughter these half-assed excuses for monsters. I’m more wolf than the Blue Devil ever could be. I don’t run screaming. I pull out my blade, get right in its face, and carve it up into a Christmas ham. My playstyle should render such “fear attacks” as impotent as these cryptids themselves

And just now? In the deep dark of Cranberry Bog, after gutting two Scorchbeasts and liquefying their entire army of petty footsoldiers, I hunted down and slaughtered a Yao Guai horde down to the last mutant bear, while also fighting off an army of Super Mutants (including a Behemoth), and THEN pulled out my blade to carve up the Blue Devil, just because it was dumb enough to get in my way

AND YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE I’D RUN SCREAMING FROM A WEREWOLF’s HOWL????

Get it through your head, #Bethesda — human beings are the ultimate monsters, both the creators and plague of the Wasteland. Every last mutant filth cryptid should be running away screaming from US.

And me? Most of all.

The economics of #Fallout76 are particularly infuriating. There’s no way to profit. There’s no way to break even. There’s not even the opportunity to barter.

Get this:
- there are presently 8 different currencies you have to use, most of which can’t be exchanged
- there’s a single pot for all NPC vendors per day per user per currency
- the exchanges that do exist are per week per user
- there’s some bogus scaling formula so you never get back what you give; say you sell enough to get all 1400 caps from a vendor, then every other vendor in Appalachia is broke; then you buy 1400 caps worth of merchandise, and all vendors have about 1/3rd the sale price in caps
- repeat the process three times and both you and every vendor in Appalachia is completely broke, no matter how many caps you start off with—I’ve lost over 20k caps in one transaction this way, and still felt like I walked away with nothing
- you know why? when you have no means to profit, everything loses all its value

It doesn’t matter what you do, or how you play, it’s a losing game that bleeds you dry and mocks you for it.

There’s also an unofficial #GitHub repository for fans to track issues in #Fallout76

It too looks like it hasn’t been updated in a couple years. Maybe the sheer volume of bugs just became too much for the community to handle…

https://github.com/bugthesda/Fallout76-Issue-Tracker

#Fallout1st #Fallout #Bugs #Fallout76Bugs #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

The #Fallout76 bug report page on the Fandom wiki is fairly out of date, in the sense it hasn’t been updated in a while—and yet almost all the bugs listed are still present

God help me there are so many more to add, that I’ve just stumbled across accidentally in play—god knows what I might turn up with a systematic method

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout_76_bugs

#Fallout1st #Fallout #Bugs #Fallout76Bugs #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

There have been so many new bugs introduced in the last couple updates to #Fallout76

The glitched-out snallygasters are pretty obnoxious—they’re already one of the most vile and repulsive conceptualizations ever to seep forth, pustulous and gangrene from the most perverted of human minds; but when they suddenly and inexplicably manifest the ability to teleport RIGHT IN YOUR FACE WITH NO WARNING that’s a fair bit worse than the revelation that the Blood Eagles are becoming the new Gourmands

But what’s really got my gut tied up in a rage-knot, is that the dev-team is clearly and painfully incapable of even basic arithmetic

It’s bad, people. This update should never have made it to production

#Fallout1st #Fallout #SciFi #Gaming #Xbox #XboxSeriesX

More and more each update, playing #Fallout76 feels like an instance of the sunk-cost fallacy

#Fallout1st #Fallout #SciFi #Gaming #Xbox #XboxSeriesX

Still the best Nukashine ditch I ever came to in

#Fallout76 #Fallout1st #Fallout #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

Nukashine really does take you to the strangest places… but jamming alone in an empty speakeasy only entertains for so long before you’re driven to drink yourself to blackout

#Fallout76 #Fallout1st #Fallout #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox #Nukashine

Nothing ruins #Fallout76 faster than needing to claim a workshop just to harvest resources.

Well. That, or actually putting up with multiplayer. JFC. The game is literally unplayable without your own private server. So why the hell am I even required to have the whole thing online when it would run so much better locally on my #Xbox?

(and oh yeah sure I would just go back to Fallout 4, except it’s basically abandonware now with some real showstopper bugs making it impossible to progress past Sanctuary)

#Fallout1st #Fallout #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #AngryTirade

Who says you can’t craft a truly stunning handmade rifle?

#Fallout76 #Fallout1st #Fallout #EnclaveFaction #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

Hmmm which of these achievements am I most proud of when they’re all so monumental

#Fallout76 #Fallout1st #Fallout #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox #XboxAchievements

Level 200 🤘🏻

#Fallout76 #Fallout1st #Fallout #EnclaveFaction #SciFi #Gaming #Xbox #XboxSeriesX

I knew as soon as I’d managed to successfully solo the launch mission I wouldn’t want to do anything else, but…

#Fallout76 #Fallout1st #Fallout #EnclaveFaction #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

It took me until Level 191 to successfully solo a launch on Private Adventure last night

Yes, I know it’s supposed to be impossible to pull off alone

No, I am not sorry

#Fallout76 #Fallout1st #Fallout #EnclaveFaction #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

Level 150 🤘🏻 And just as casual observations:

- orbital strikes are a lot more fun than launching nukes, with only a fraction of the BS
- Watoga really is the best city in all of Appalachia—y’know, once you get all the robots to stop trying to murder you on sight

#Fallout76 #Fallout1st #Fallout #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

Damn I look fine in my Enclave Officer’s uniform

“General Phoeron” has a certain ring to it, don’t you think? Muah-ah-ah-ah-ahhhhhhh

#Fallout76 #Fallout1st #Fallout #SciFi #Gaming #XboxSeriesX #Xbox

I’m one of the #Fallout fans who is all over this. I can’t wait!

#Bethesda apparently knows this and wants to #promote the #Fallout series by giving away the #Vault33 jumpsuit, from the show to #gamers who #play #Fallout76

I’m playing without #Fallout1st, so apparently it’s #free to everyone

Hurry up and hit the #AtomShop before 12 pm EST. I’m pretty sure that’s when they stop giving it away.
