Castle In The Sky Fallout 4
Tiger3050 2 points 3 points 4 points 3 months ago thank you for your comment here my modes = the plan = the castle in the sky = the workshop g2m = vanilla extensions = the royal port, if there is something else I forgot I answer you.
Bethesda’s recent flatscreen-to-VR ports, Skyrim VR and Fallout 4 VR, face a few common challenges in terms of immersion. Neither are perfect, but at this point in time, both games represent something VR users haven’t had yet: vast and rich open-world adventures that offer a high degree of customization and replayability—so called real AAA VR games. Not to mention Skyrim’s many texture and weather mods that can give the aging title a serious facelift. With Skyrim VR being so computationally cheap when compared to Fallout 4 VR, you can afford to toss on pretty much as many non-UI changing mods as you damn well please. The winner here is clear. Role-playing ExperienceWinner: Skyrim VRBeing able to choose how the story unfolds is a large part of what makes modern RPGs great. Having the ability to select your path can make the difference between being swept up in a story, and being swept along in the story, and in that respect not all RPGs are created equal.I’m at first tempted to say Fallout 4 VR outdoes Skyrim VR in pure choice thanks to its multiple endings, which provides a slightly different terminus to the adventure. But that doesn’t mean Fallout 4 VR offers a better role-playing experience in VR just because you can get to the end in a few different ways.
Image courtesy Fallout 4 WikiAs a voiced protagonist in Fallout 4, you’re not given the freedom to define your own role and build upon the character’s lore. Instead of having the ability to choose which response is right for you word-for-word, like in Skyrim and older games in the Fallout franchise, in Fallout 4 your responses are bland, and voiced by someone else. This essentially tasks you with piloting another, fully fleshed-out person instead of filling in the gaps yourself, which is weird in VR when the voice coming out of your head is someone else’s.In Skyrim, the world’s lore is rich enough to provide you with all the information you need to construct your own personality, be it a Nord stealth archer abandoned at birth and forced into imperial service in Cyrodiil before landing on the scene as a deserter, or the daughter of a mage family that was blackballed from every major magic college in Tamriel except Winterhold in Skyrim.
You have that freedom; it’s not just a male/female selection screen with a few avatar sliders that defines you.While Skyrim’s end goal is more simplistic than Fallout 4’s for sure, I found it left an appropriate ‘RPG gap’ for me to fill in myself. As a developer, you can choose to close those gaps for a variety of reasons and still have a great game, but just not as great of a role-playing experience. Leveling UpWinner: Skyrim VRGaining new abilities and growing stronger is a core element of what makes Bethesda’s RPGs fun. What should be a gradual increase in natural skill acquisition ultimately becomes an exponential increase in your ability to do interesting stuff. In both games, you’re rewarded with points you can spend on special abilities, and although a few years older, I found Skyrim’s perk/skill acquisition system much more natural: you simply have to engage in your chosen activity to get ‘better’ at it. Perk Chart from ‘Fallout 4’In Fallout 4, you’re given a simplified Perk chart featuring selections in Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck. You can basically choose whichever skill you want provided you’ve put the points into your ability first and have the required level.
This, essentially, means you can upgrade a skill you’ve never used. Image courtesy Nexus ModsIn Skyrim, the time doing something you actually like doing directly translates into better skills in that area, and because it’s a ‘perk tree’, choosing correctly is salient to forming a unique character with unique abilities (unless you go hog-wild and spend an ungodly amount of time maxing everything). Main criticisms of this system are that it’s not flexible enough and you have to spend too much time grinding for secondary skills like blacksmithing or enchanting, taking away from the more primary abilities like Destruction, Armor or Lock Picking. Both systems appeal to different playing styles, but Skyrim’s way of letting you progress in levels is decidedly more conducive to natural gameplay in VR. User InterfaceWinner: Fallout 4 VRBoth games are menu-heavy experiences, a design trope that unfortunately feels like an unnatural relic in VR.
But Fallout 4 really has something going for it that Skyrim VR just doesn’t: the Pipboy. Pipboy in VR Photo courtesy BethesdaIt, as far as user interfaces go, is a golden gift to the VR version of Fallout 4. You can lift up your arm and fiddle through settings just like you’d expect to if you were magically thrown into the Wasteland. Skyrim VR is virtually unchanged from the flatscreen version UI-wise, making it second place by a long shot, given the way that the same old menus from the flat version just pop up and float in front of you. CombatWinner: Fallout 4 VRNeither combat systems are perfect; you can’t naturally sheath/holster or draw a weapon, and there’s zero hand presence to speak of.
That said, Fallout 4 VR has a distinct advantage over Skyrim VR thanks to its gun-heavy combat system.When appropriately outfitted with glow-sights and scopes (which now work, although at launch they didn’t), you can play the game basically as it was intended. VATS, the slow-mo targeting mechanic, is also something that works really excruciatingly well in VR. Giving you time to line up shots and feeling the thrill of accurately dispatching several enemies in one go is really satisfying. Image courtesy Fallout WikiaSkyrim VR on the other hand offers some fun in the magic and bow-shooting department, but falls flat on its face when it comes to melee combat. No matter how hard you try, it’s nearly impossible to shake the omnipresent feeling that the 20 pound broadsword you’re carrying is really just a balloon animal that you can waggle back and forth to magically do damage to enemies.
‘Wow’ EffectWinner: Skyrim VRI’ll fully admit this this a matter of taste, and not based on anything objective in the slightest (we’re all different, right?), but this bears mentioning. Trekking over a mountain pass to solo-fight your first dragon is without a doubt one of the most exhilarating (and terrifying) moments I’ve had in VR gaming to date. There’s a lot of variety in the world of Tamriel, and as a result Skyrim VR is packed with those sorts of moments when you look around to say “wow, that’s pretty,” or “wow, that’s terrifying,” or “wow, that’s scary.” Skyrim VR is full of “wow.” Image courtesy BethesdaFallout 4 VR is mostly a grey, drab and dirty world, and that aesthetic personally doesn’t lend itself to those breathtaking moments of pure awe. There are of course moments when you drop in on a Mutant running with those terrifying nuclear suicide bombs, or look out over the Wasteland from a Brotherhood of Steel airship, but I felt like those were too few and far between.– – — – – The VerdictIf you’ve been keeping count, then you’ve seen that Skyrim VR has taken a majority of the categories, so by now my personal verdict is probably obvious. Here’s a quick recap of the talking points:Skyrim VR leaves more of a ‘gap’ for pure RPG’ers thanks to an immersive lore, is better optimized for lower-end systems, has a better overhead for all sorts of mods, a more natural skill leveling system, and a clear ‘wow’ effect (at least for me). Despite offering magic and bow-shooting, combat takes a hit by being largely melee-based, and UI is a straight port from the flatscreen version making a menu-heavy system worse.Fallout 4 VR offers a rich and vast world that sacrifices pure role-playing immersion for a definitive story, has a less natural (but more flexible) leveling system, good combat thanks to guns and VATS, and a more natural UI thanks to the Pipboy. Shaky VR optimization keeps it out of the hands of some VR players though, leaving less graphical overhead for the more fun additive mods.
Yes, that’s kind of my point too. You can be unhappy about the fact that you don’t get native Rift support, but you can’t claim this article is “irrelevant”, since many people have played FO4VR on the Rift using several techniques that are widely known.And if you’re not willing to do that, then like I said, you have lots of Rift exclusives to enjoy instead.If you take the notion that you can just play a Rift exclusive instead of FO4VR as some kind of slight, then you need to realize the hypocrisy of that sentiment given the obvious fact that the Rift platform is the king of exclusives. Just suck it up and enjoy what the platform you have chosen offers to you. At the launch of Fallout 4 VR—for whatever reason—Bethesda didn’t support Oculus Rift natively, something that was remedied on launch of Skyrim VR.
Even up until today though, the company hasn’t added the Oculus Rift badge to its list of supported platforms on Fallout 4 VR, leaving it in a grey area. Yes, it technically works thanks to OpenVR, but you’ll actually have to map the Touch buttons yourself by going into a beta branch of SteamVR and opting into the “openvr-inputemulator-temporary – Temporary branch”. So out-of-the-box VR support for all SteamVR-compatible headsets isn’t perfect on Fallout 4 VR.You feel this is brushing it over?
(honest question). I agree with this. Thumbs upI WANT TO BUY SKYRIM VRI WANT TO BUY SKYRIM VRI WANT TO BUY SKYRIM VRNowI love Skyrim, it is so light on hardware,while other games like witcher 3 take 200 GB,Skyrim can do with 20 GB HDD spaceYet Skyrim is superiorThe special thing about Skyrim is thatu really start believing that u live in that worldand after owning so many powers, homes, dragon, status etc.u feel nostalgicalso it gives u withdrawal symptoms when u have finished the game andthere is nothing to doTHAT IS THE LEVEL OF EMOTIONAL IMMERSION U HAVE—–I urge Betesda to:1. Make it infinite by constantly adding some modules after every say 3 months2. Start selling hardware too to make it run. My eyes are on intel NUC, Hades Canyon + VR headset( oculus, psvr with mods, and also on Android vr etc)3. Keep it compatible for playing with Xbox / Logitech controller 7104.
Castle In The Sky Full Movie
Why not sell a latest headset independent of PC/XBOX/PS, load it directly on its h/w such as on Samsung phone for Gear VR etc5. Start a cloud streaming service which processes all GPU elements (in cloud) and simply streams images only to user so that any user of any hardware can use it.6. Allow customization to such extent that users can upload their own 3D image (of face & body) for use of their character and also of their family/friends too keep them alive even if they become dead.7. Dont let it die. Fantastically written comparison. Pretty much agree on all points and this is why I really wish Bethesda had chosen to make a VR version of Fallout 3 instead.-Wouldn’t have near the performance issues of 4.-No immersion breaking player voice and many varied and interesting dialog options.-They probably would have had enough rendering headroom to implement a more natural scope system.-(IMO) Capital Wasteland was a much more interesting world to explore.
With more meaningful characters and quest lines.-Could have released on PSVR too.-And you’d get to keep the intuitive pipboy interface, and gun based combat.Just sayin Bethesda;p. Skyrim VR is currently the winner for me. Find the Touch controls good, intuitive in Skyrim VR. Wish they’d sort out Fallout 4 controls to work with Touch, and have more and better graphics options for higher spec systems on both. Fallout 4 interface is terrible and the graphics were disappointing even on non-VR, although mods fix them, they made similar mistakes with the VR versions. Why should others/customers have to complete developers work, with mods, after spending hard earned money? Get your act together Bethesda.
I’ve done the start, and cleared out a mine on the way to Riverwood, and just arrived at Riverwood. So far I’m a lot less impressed than a lot of people seem to be.Pros:– Archery, pretty cool– People charging at you are quite intimidating– Dragons are.king scary– Interiors look alrightCons:– Outside looks really bad, especially the distant stuff – I find it hard to feel much wow at a distant mountain when it’s just a blur (I’m on an original Vive).– Skyrim’s actually quite a dull game! Maybe it picks up later, but I really found exploring that mine a chore. I don’t remember feeling that first time round, maybe things like Witcher 3 have spoiled me.– The UI is a bit of a faff. Strange that they didn’t rejig it more.– Combat is clunky. I get queasy with direct motion so I’m using teleportation, and I really don’t feel very agile in a might. Backing away is particularly difficult, especially since it takes one of your hands out of action.I’ll persevere for a while, see if it grows on me as I get used to the movement and combat, and I’ll avoid as many tedious dungeon explorations as possible, them, if it still hasn’t, I’ll give Fallout 4 a try instead.
I’m using the Samsung Odyssey headset on WMR, which I think provides possibly the best visual and the tracking is awesome. I have 1080Ti and high end CPU and I think that makes the game amazing – haven’t played on lesser gear – it is so incredibly smooth. The world is amazing – looking up at that huge moon is stunning as so many other visuals, I kind of forget about the gameplay.
There is so much more detail than you see/notice in the 2D version on a screen. I find the controls a little difficult to get used to and wonder if they might not be optimized to Windows mixed reality controllers. I’ve only had one session (a 4-hour long one, mind you) and I can stop thinking about it and am looking forward to getting back into it.The biggest problem is that I am so small in the game.
Everything is giant and I have to look up at everyone. Is there a way to fix this? It’s not just a height thing. Everything is huge. A cabbage is bigger than a basketball.
People are already complaining about things not working as intentded. Most of these are bugs in the code, and cannot be solved with a workaround.
It’s best to just learn to avoid them. This guide will show you a list of errors & problems in Automatron and how to avoid or solve them.Can’t rename AutomatronsSome people are complaining about being unable to rename their robots. Once they choose the name and accept it, the game just reverts it to the “Automatron-XXX” format. This is a known issue, and there’s nothing you can do about it, if you’re experiencing it.
Try to color-code your robots, and wait for a patch. Automatrons disappear inside Mechanist’s LairThere have been reports of robot companions vanishing into thin air while doing the mission inside Mechanist’s Lair. It seems to be tied with having Sentry bot legs, so avoid using those until you’ve finished the mission. The robots get stuck in door frames and disappear after a struggle. After they do, there’s no way to bring them back – not by way of the Robot Workbench or the command console. Save often and in different slots.Automatron not working on PS4Sony is working to prop Automatron for the North American PlayStation Store. Some people in Asia have also been complaining about not being able to download it.
Automatron Settlers Not WorkingSome players have reported that, after assigning a robot buddy to a post in a settlement (vendor, defence, field work), they glitch out and stop functioning. Vendors don’t offer vendor dialogue, field workers tend to the crop, then freeze after picking it up, defense bots stand with their backs turned to the guard posts.There’s nothing to be done until a patch arrives, so just stay patient and don’t waste time on robot settlers if they don’t work out on the first try. Codsworth Customization Hat BugCodsworth, your old robo-butler, can also be customzied at the Robot Workbench. Something isn’t working right, though, so if you put him in the machine, he’ll lose his ability to wear hats. You don’t even have to change anything on him for the bug to appear.
As soon as he sets foot onto the metal plates of the workbench, he won’t be able to use headwear anymore.It’s obviously not working as intended, so we presume it’ll be fixed at some point. You can basically choose between the vanilla Codsworth with a hat, or an upgraded one without a hat. Automatrons Turning HostileThere have been reports of Automatron robots turning hostile and attacking the player as soon as they step off the production line. There’s no explanation for this kind of behaviour.
It’s not supposed to happen, but there’s a lot of things interacting here, so it might take some time until it’s repaired. If this happens to you, simply avoid creating new bots until it’s fixed. I play on xbone and had same issues. I tried reloading the fight midstream, reloading the game and had no luck. Luckily I had save right as I entered the final room. I checked the room right before it and saw that there are 5 robobrains but they are inactive.
Now, I have the gun and science perks maxed out so all my guns have the recon scope on them. What is cool about it is that once u aim ur gun at a target it will mark it with a red diamond.
The target will keep it even when u r not aiming at it. What is weird Is that the diamond appears for the first bot but when I shoot there is no reaction. But when I bumper click it shows the health bar. So I shot it until it was dead. I then repeated this with all of the bots on the conveyor belt. Once they were all dead I saved and entered the final room. I killed all of the bot waves.
I also have the robot perk maxed out so I can hack them and incite them. This makes them my allies and they kill other bots for me which speeds up the fight.
Anyways I killed all the bot waves and the cut scene happened without issue. I was allowed to speak with him. I am guessing that the game wants those robo brains to be used but it can’t as the door is closed. The killing of the bots could be a prerequisite for the cut scene to happen. I’d say try finding an earlier save, kills those robobrains before entering the final room and you should be good. Another bug I’ve encountered: Interior cells are not loading properly. Tried 2 different cells, the Federal Ration Stockpile (not Automatron-quest related, AFAIK) and the Fort Hagen bunker (which is).
I can see enemies & bits of clutter sitting in the void, but floors/walls/ceilings/every other damn thing is completely invisible. I can see sky above and all around, and water far below.
Hoping someone has a suggestion, or Bethesda comes out with a fix, because the DLC is unplayable in its current state. This is on Xbox One.
Fallout 4 Castle Cleanup
On PS4, level 143. Everything went smoothly through the main quest. Problem started with the side quests from Isabel.
Third quest to eliminate Rogue Robot glitched on me. I killed it, but the quest remains open.
Other than that, I’ve not had issues others have mentioned.Honestly I’ve had more trouble after the 1.4 patch, mainly with settlement counts going haywire, like 48 settlers, 0 beds, 0 water on settlements that are 20/30/400 with a defense pushing 800. This squirrels happiness faster than anything and it’s a real PITA to have to go back to the settlement, open workshop, travel out of bounds, and then fast travel out to fix it every few hours. Given that robots count as settlers and their happiness seems to fix at 50% I’m leery of adding robots to settlements that are already having attitude issues thanks to this glitch. So when I entered the mechanists lair, I originally had ADA with sentry legs, that caused a lot of problems so I’d recommend changing those till the end of the mission.But the main problem was the objective to stop the mechanist had already been completed before I even got to see it.
I had sparks, a hostile and invincible eyebot with no hitbox follow me around and attack ADA not allowing me to get past the doors. I managed to get around sparks but as I progressed down, and got to the mechanist he was already aggressive and like sparks was invincible with no hitboxSomeone help. I have had the disappearing robot bug, the Machinist attack immediately and my settlement stats go nuts like others have posted. What upsets me is that Bethesda Beta tested this DLC (supposedly) and they had the nerve to double the price of the season pass.
I am on PC and have to admit that the modders at Nexusmods.com did a better job at robot companions with the Robot Home Defense than Bethesda did with Automatron. Because of the Machinist attacking bug, the entire gameplay to finish the DLC quest line was 3 hours.
Not money well spent. What a disaster. I’m having a difficulty issue. I’ve been playing the game on survival, character at level 65, I can pretty much walk through almost all legendary enemies with ease, but these robots wipe the floor with me! I have ballistic weave, DR and ER around 300 and something, using fully modded Ritcheous Authority with damage output of over 100 energy per shot and a 6 crank laser musket for sniper sneak crits, and I can’t even kill the second robo brain group, which are only at level 40 or so!
Dropped artillery on them, multiple crit shots, and I barely kill off half the group! And this dlc is listed at level 15 what gives? Hey everyone completed automatron on ps4 and it was quite good i must say i gave codsworth a serious upgrade and even made a D347-TP hover bot like in borderlands 2 but heres the thing.When i bring Ada or Codsworth with me their parts they fight with don’t fall off not straight away not even after taking damage yet when i play with my custom made automatrons they’ll fire one bullet or cell or whatever and both arms blow off (this also happens whether or not they have been hurt by an enemy) is this a glitch because its frustrating,Jordon. Sorry but at this time there is no fix for this issue. You’ll just have to either load a save before the robot disappeared or make a save and hope Bethesda fixes the problem in the future. When I first completed the last quest of the DLC my Automatron disappeared without me even noticing because it was (or at least this is when I last saw it) during a fight with a lot of robots in the room and I just proceeded through the building till the end without really keeping tabs on my companion. When I finally did notice its absence, it was already too late because both my quick save and all autosaves were after the incident occurred so I was and am screwed.
It had like 7 legendaries so it was a big bummer. Since then I found it therapeutic on my fractured heart to create 12 new robots in the original’s image so the empty feeling can be at least partially filled. This game is becoming more and more of a demented way of teaching why to constantly and obsessively save. Good luck though! My my robot is gone. I created him when i first got the DLC. He was an awesome robot and i loved him.
One time, while building in the Mechanist’s lair, he disappeared. I searched back through the whole place and couldn’t find him.
Fallout 4 Castle Mods Nexus
I opened up the workbench and couldn’t find him. I switched to a different companion and sent him to the Mechanist’s lair and couldn’t find him. Please help me, he had a lot of valuable resources on him and i used a butt load of materials to build him. The mission wouldn’t even start for me over the radio. No matter where I was or what I did the radio wouldn’t work.
So then I just went to where u have to eliminate the hostel robots to start the mission. I get to the part where I need to install the first thing on Ada and everyone in the sanctuary just keeps attacking her I can’t craft on her when I’m there because everyone is shooting her but not me. So I went to another settlement to try and craft Ada in the robot work bench and every time I push craft it does nothing. It’s tweaking so much I can’t even play the missions.
EXTREMELY ANNOYED. Hey there, I’ve had a problem where upon creating a robot in the workbench or trying to add parts to it, it will immediately throw the robot into the air killing it instantly. Even if I succeed in making my follower before that happens, I can barely modify it as things are invisibly when highlighting certain parts of it, changing legs will change the head. So on and so forth.I do have mods installed though none actually affect the automaton DLC themselves other than the one allowing your basic constructed one to be a random base bot. IE sentry bot, assaultron ect.
I don’t know how to fix this and it’s just an annoying problem I have right now.
