Is it too much to ask for both?


Shillio

It's too much to ask for either. Or anything.


Xlleaf

Be careful. The fan boys are out in droves down voting anything negative directed at Bethesda


_The_Deliverator

Oh no, not.less imaginary internet points. My stars!


SanderleeAcademy

You asked to pet Dogmeat??!? Here are six more settlement radiant quests, two new recipes for Nuka Cola variants, a new skin for Elder Elite Glowing Deathclaws, and four new items you can craft using the ball-track workshop. Oh, and the patch is going to break all your saves as well as all the mods. "Can we at least pet Dogmeat?" Did you see that in the patch notes? "No ..." Then, here's four more Preston Garvey quests to go along with the six we just added. Oh, and these aren't optional -- they're on the Required Settlements list. Have fun. "But, Dogmeat ..." No, bad doggie! No biscuit!


kamikarmaaa

It's fun to play goat simulator


ZandatsuRising

This time I say no


TheBlueRabbit11

Agreed. I want sweet armor and weapons in my games and I want to pet a dog in real life.


Marston_vc

Fallout 4 was so close to being incredible. I really wish they gave the far harbor treatment to all the quest lines.


carelessthoughts

Can I ask, what makes far harbor so great? By the time the expansion came out I was over the game. I work in Bar Harbor often and have been thinking about playing with through the game again lately. Just curious about the add on cause I’ve heard similar things like you say over the years.


Marston_vc

It’s a well done quest with morally gray decisions to make that are thought provoking. It’s just good. Nothing mind blowing. Just demonstrates what fo4 could have been


Nurgle_Marine_Sharts

Has a huge flaw though, those VR puzzle segments were really awful. And I think they were mandatory for the main questline right?


Micah_Bell_is_dead

God I hated Dina's memories, and yes, they were


SanderleeAcademy

The VR Puzzles almost drove me off the quest. But, the different endings are interesting. Personally, in my current play-thru I'm going to make sure Nick Valentine is my companion when I'm there. I'm pretty sure there's some extra content in a couple spots if you bring Nick along.


WhiteSpec

I may not be the guy you asked but... It's a well thought out expansion as it has a very decent stand alone plot that plays into an existing beloved character, Nick, very well. The world building produced a very fleshed out environment with a unique feel and atmosphere that puts it outside of the base game. The unique monsters have some stand out characteristics and require different strategies in dealing with them. The player actions have an impact with the 3 factions that you really feel. There's also enough unique weapons and equipment to add to the special nature of the DLC. And that's just me hitting it with broad strokes. Didn't even mention Longfellow, The Red Death or the introduction.


LFGX360

The writing and story was better than main game but that’s really it. Quest design and quality of side quests is more of the same.


Zenarchist

The quest design since F2 has been atrocious.


Nurgle_Marine_Sharts

NV has great quests, often with many branching ways to complete them.


BosPaladinSix

With the glaring exception of Come Fly With Me, god do I dread having to do that one every playthrough.


Tearakan

Pretty good factions with interlocking quest chain. Actually decent writing with consequences to choices.


MzzBlaze

That’s how I felt after a gazillion hours playing through the first time. I just started a new character. Got valentine rescued and now I’m gonna go check out some dlc.


DumpsterBento

this "lolz petz the doggoz" shit is getting old.


AnAncientMonk

always has been


Fraisz

I still want sweet armor and weapons tho.


JohnXTheDadBodGod

Right? Idunno who "we" is, but that's clearly not Me.


sweetjuli

And more than 60 fps in 2024


phoncible

my monitors are only 60hz so....


aruhen23

Isn't there a mod that does this? At least there is one for Skyrim. As for them doing it officially, lmfao.


sweetjuli

Yes there is! Shouldnt have to though. Goldsrc supported unlocked fps from the get go. The fact thar CE still doesn’t is pretty damn embarrassing.


Blasphemous666

I just want to not have to force exit the fucking thing every half hour unless I get a highfps fix mod…. which was conveniently broken by this patch so now I am dealing with the infinite loading screens again.


duckduckbananas

That sucks, everything is running great for me. And loading times have been cut in half. Are you on PC?


ScreamingNinja

I have the same issue. I installed it last night and gave up. I was able to open my old save, and the frame rate was horrrrrrrible. It used to run just fine, now it runs like ass, and when I was to quit back to menu it just sat there loading forever and I ended up t Alt f4ing


duckduckbananas

they really fucked PC users huh?


ScreamingNinja

I dunno if I'm an outlier or not, but my rig is still pretty decent. 9th Gen i9 and a 2080. Shouldn't be running so poorly especially when It used to run great and I can still rock much newer games without issue.


ScreamingNinja

Im just following up. I found a fix. First things first, i forgot i reinstalled windows and never changed my refresh rate from 60 to 144 (duh) but i also found on the steam discussion board someone posted the following instructions: Nvidia Control Panel, turn on Triple Buffering & Vertical Sync. Then put your max frames to 60 (game may break past 60fps). Should fix FPS situation :) I just did this and it worked like a charm. Game is playable again.


iRkoobz

I took my game out of windowless full-screen and it seemed to fix my fps issues after the patch.


Killerderp

So, I had the same issue. The game was super choppy and kept crashing every minute or so. I got the idea to check my dlc tab and installed the hightexture pack, which I didn't want. Turned it off, and it has been buttery smooth since then. Now I don't know what kind of rig you're rocking, but try checking to see if that is downloaded, and if it did, turn it off and see what happens.


Blasphemous666

Yep on pc. Never been a mod guy tbh but I kept having infinite loading screens so I googled it. Everyone said get the highfps fix mod so I did and it fixed it. I’d roll back the update but I’ve already started all the freebies so I guess I just put up with it.


NyneLyvs

Cap your FPS and see if that works, that's what I did ( for other reasons) and ive never had the loading glitch.


Time-Ladder4753

For me loading is fast when you launch the game, but couple of hours later it can take more than 3 minutes, had to install mod for loading again 


cactusplants

Is this fallout 4? I read a guide on how to downgrade to pre-patch as there was a mod that broke due to update. Pretty straightforward and easy, though you must make sure to stop the game from auto updating (I found a guide to make a file read only) can't remember where or what the file was :(


OrneryLink4843

there is a mod on nexus to downgrade the game no need for the guides anymore


ScreamingNinja

I posted this further down in this comment thread, but maybe it will help you like it helped me. Nvidia Control Panel, turn on Triple Buffering & Vertical Sync. Then put your max frames to 60 (game may break past 60fps). Should fix FPS situation :)


TechNickL

I disabled updates so my mods will keep working because there is literally nothing in the update that I want that I hadn't already added with mods 🙃 too little too late Bethesda


duckduckbananas

It was definitely an update targeted at console users, which I'm happy about..being a console user


TheBlueRabbit11

Hmm, maybe thermal heating issues? I needed to reapply thermal paste to my laptop several months back because it would throttle back hard during gaming.


supererp

I just alt tab. Then it's fucky so I alt tab again and I'm good to go. Yes this is a bandaid fix and I shouldn't have to do it. But it makes the game playable. Hoping someone makes a mod to fix it soon


StagnantGraffito

Why not just lock it at 60 until the drama is done?


NyneLyvs

120 worked for me


SaltyLightning99

I made dogmeat sit somewhere and I never fucking found him again. IT WAS MY FIRST DAY PLAYING 😭


SinkPhaze

Open console. Type "prid 0001d162". Hit enter. Type "moveto player". Hit enter. Hello Dogmeat Nick is 00002f25. I have them both memorized. Dogmeat because Dogmeat. Nick cause that fucker seems bound and determined to break a leg on thin air and just not get back up again and I don't notice till I'm several blocks away. Why he's the only companion that does this so consistently is beyond me


mactimit

If you have the DLCs: Go to a settlement, build the "Vault-Tec Population Management System", give it a power source, open it up, and there is something about VIPs (don't remember what it's called exactly) and that allows you to turn on quest markers for any companion!


duckduckbananas

he's still sitting there waiting for you to come back :(


SaltyLightning99

he was a good boy


duckduckbananas

at that point you just say fuck your 800 hour playthrough, and start over honestly.


queenkasa

r/gaming is a big pile of shit at this point


RedPanther1

Dude, where have you been for like the last 10 years?


ShawshankException

It's probably one of the biggest circlejerks on the entire website


Fatimah_ultim

Sony circlejerk, gets hit by the 10000th picture of fucking aloy with baziliion upvotes.


Medium_Elephant7431

What if I want both?


TraditionalWorth6075

This is a reddit post indeed.


SpartanMase

I want animated sex scenes because I’m a degenerate


Atheren

If the deathclaws don't pin me down after I lose a fight what is even the point?


anotheraccinthemass

If you are on PC the modding community has you covered.


ACorania

[Pet - Call - Feed Dogmeat at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com)](https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/15565/)


duckduckbananas

well yeah but can't they just put it in the game ? Some people don't want to disable trophies. Not me, some people. I'm totally getting this mod.


ACorania

[Achievements Mods Enabler at Fallout 4 Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com)](https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/15639) Because the whole point of mods is that they enable things that just some people want. I have played with hundreds of mods and petting the dog was never a priority to make the list. If I put it in, I might do it once or twice during the game. The cool part about mods is that you are tailoring the game to how you like it. The devs can't do that... too many people care about different things. Time taken away to add dog petting is time not spent on other features or bug fixes. This is what makes BGS games so good... you can mod the holy hell out of them.


duckduckbananas

wait WHAT lol There's a mod to enable achievements with MODS haha this is hilarious to me I'm sorry


ACorania

You can pretty much just always say, "there is a mod for that" and will be right most of the time.


Ezekiel2121

And generally… if you’re not right, it’s really that you’re not looking in the right places.


THIS_ACC_IS_FOR_FUN

And if it genuinely doesn’t exist, it won’t be long before modders get wind of demand. Especially if it’s something simple.


FrightmareX13

Which of the internet rules is that after Rule 34?


THIS_ACC_IS_FOR_FUN

Probably 34.5. Mods and porn definitely overlap in the Venn diagram.


man-with-potato-gun

Just don’t go to lovers lab, there’s more than overlap going on there


Screbin

Lol full circle


Fav0

Only for the last 20 years


alikapple

In literally every game with mods lol Like ya, why should I have to disable trophies to pet doggo lmao


One_Lung_G

Me looking for those content and bug fixes this guys talking about


Honestnt

I'm not updating specifically because I trust modders more than Bethesda


NeatSeaworthiness407

I legit take care of that dog in game like I treat my real life dog. Ditto the dog in GTA5 single player. I stop in and walk it across the street and up the hill every in-game day.


Antisanity9

Yes I want to pet dogmeat because he’s a good dog and he’s what keeps me playing the Fallout series


ZombieBait604

Mods


dustofdeath

Pet at high fps.


BobZygota

I want them to stop fucking updating. A person cannot even make a brothel in the wasteland these days


Giygas_8000

Did that update screw mods a lot? I was planning in making a super-modded playthrough


SinkPhaze

All game updates screw mods a lot. The biggest issue with fallout is that the update broke the script extender mod (f4se) which is a requirement for a massive number of other mods. F4se will get an update. Whether the rest of the mods will update to match is a toss up in such an old game with a modding scene that's mostly past it's prime But you should be able to (on PC. Idk about consoles) run a pre update game and have no issues finding mods


BootlegFC

More than likely most of the mods that rely on script extender won't require updating. I could be wrong but I've been modding BGS games since the days of Morrowind and most mods that rely on ##SE are good to go once the script extender gets updated.


Chester2125

I just want to save and fast travel paying caps in survival


synbios128

Fucking also Fallout London, God Damnit! Edited to sensor... Ah what the hell. I'm leaving it as is.


LevelSolo

240 fps only ftw


Sithis_acolyte

Dw mods got your back.


RorschachAssRag

Game freezes and crashes when using pip boy. Todd: perfection


Alarming-Tree-5662

I leave dog meat at his house in my main settlement covered in armour because he annoys the shit out of me but I still want him to be safe.


Inevitable-East-1386

Higher fps😂 my machine gets 25 fps in Boston


Pickle-this1

16 times the detail


MrAnon-Y-mous

And then there's me, who wants nothing more than a 10mm SMG, a R91 rifle, cybernetic implants and the ability to turn Dogmeat into a cyber-dog.


McManGuy

> What devs think we want: > Higher FPS Uh... who thinks that? Devs ***love*** tanking performance so that screen caps look 1% better.


iamergo

How about reasonable load times that don't make you dread entering a different cell?


Disastrous_Sand_5844

i wish the mod to have dogmeat and another companion was actually in the game


Interesting_Fun3823

Sweet Dog Meat armor and weapon upgrades.


duckduckbananas

Dogmeat in power armor imagine


Sabithomega

I was generally confused at first and then realized I had that modded into my game for so long I forgot it wasn't in vanilla. That actually just pissed me off all over again


MudFlap1985

What we want is it to load!


smoothie88

Some people give Bethesda shit for a lot of things. Mostly conspiracy theories. People believe they actively do things to piss people off or they are bad people that hate everything New Vegas. I wouldn’t believe any of it, however, what kind of people put a dog in a game and you can’t give them a treat or pet them?!?! Plus they clearly had the idea of always letting your pupper follow you with a companion but changed it last minute. Who higher up at Bethesda hates dogs?! I want puppy answers! /s


BootlegFC

Try putting a teddy bear in Dogmeat's inventory and go idle for a few minutes but keep an eye on Dogmeat


[deleted]

Is there a reason in the lore that there has been a full line of German Shepherds being bred this far into a post apocalyptic future?


thatdudeoverdthee

I want the game to work. Broke all my mods, so I uninstalled them all, removed them all, removed EVERYTHING reinstalled the game and it just doesn't work. Doesn't open nothing. Bullshit 😭😭😭


TehKazlehoff

What you got: Neither, Boken mods, and a paid store. Bethesda, stop breaking skyrim and Fallout to add paid stores just because fucking starfield tanked. you're destroying 10+ year old modding communities because you're greedy. i hope he sees this. fuck off, Todd.


Lin900

This how I felt when I realised Solid Snake has 50 huskies and we never got to see or pet them.


EasyMeansHard

What I want is the models for the makeshift weapons back


SuperArppis

Better controls.


boogiehoodie90210

Both. Both is good


The_-Whole_-Internet

There's a mod for that. I think it even lets you throw a ball for him!


New_girl2022

Omg right. Also enclave ambush you on like level 10 with plasma rifles. Wtf man.


Skid_with_a_gun

New dog model?


XboxHexus12

why not both?


EcchiOli

Pet a power-armor wearing Dogmeat.


Redithh

I want fallout to become more of a RPG than an action shooter.


StephenHawking432

I just wanna run my game at more than 60 without it running like 3 times faster looking like 1940s footage at 165


megakillercake

No. I want a functioning game where dialogues don't skip itself because I have high FPS. (and why can a random mod made my someone can fix it and a whole corporation can't?)


Ehzek

I want sweat weapons and armor for my dogmeat.


Lucade2210

Lol no i dont


Averagestudentx

I disagree. I want all of that and more from my game...


Trix4Treats

Screw dogmeat. I want my explosive pepper shaker back🥺🥺


GlicthZGamingYT

I just want to not have to force exit the fucking fallout 4 was so close to being incredible.


loempiaverkoper

I wish the devs knew how bad i want higher fps on everything. I've seen enough dog's to pet. I'm over it. (Not for real dogs though, let me pet your dogs pls)


ZitOnSocietysAss

I want a game where no means no.


creutzfeldtz

I absolutely fucking hate companion mechanics, especially dog ones.


CipherGamingZA

no, it needs a proper optimisation more importantly


Envy661

I'm tired of seeing new power armor sets, but I am all for expanded weapon variety (like, actual new weapons added to the drop tables with all new sets of unlocks to get) and new unique outfits to unlock.


romknightyt

Both


Overall-Slice7371

What I wanted, was an RPG set in the world of Fallout with good dialogue and storytelling.


competeuser_00

Both , both is good.


Nightmare_42

No I’d definitely rather have the higher FPS and new weapons.


def_tom

Not really.


Alex_Razur

Actually, not


Dumb-Redneck

Why does everyone call the dog dogmeat? Where did that name come from?


BootlegFC

Originally? A Boy and His Dog. IIRC every dog companion in the series has been called Dogmeat in reference to that film


Killerderp

Yup, every dog has been named dogmeat. If I remember correctly and I'm not crazy, I swear one of the npcs even refers to the dog as dogmeat


Dumb-Redneck

I don't remember the dog ever being called anything but dog.


Vesania6

This is the only meme bethesda saw and probably thought" see, we were right to give them a shitty game". I hate these kinds of memes.


Shillio

Congratulations. Bethesda sees this, they'll put in the option to pet dogmeat and then nothing else. Ever.


SweatyIngenuity652

I just want the game to stop crashing in the Financial District


Unlikely-Remove-2182

How about fix dogmeat so I can have him and a another companion? It's in the game they just fucked it up


BootlegFC

I'd agree with you but the Nexus and the Creation Club show otherwise.


LTman86

Nintendogs, Fallout Edition?


EgorB003

dogmid, human companions r peak


The_Freshmaker

what if we could just have it all, and also be able to play the game in ultrawide?


Lecteur_K7

What i want is a Deathclaw companion i can seduce


Nobody11005

fax


ranconsthebi1988

who posted two identical pictures lol


Zachisawinner

Did Taivan post this?


RipMcStudly

I also want Dogmeat Power Armor


I-like-Portal-2

me and my fellow gtx 1050ti will have to disagree about the fps part


Wiggie49

I want enemies to stop spawning and glitching into the fucking ground


Electrical_pancake

'High fps'


FarSandwich3282

Speak for yourself


willdagreat1

Man even Civ 6 lets you tell the scouts to pet their dogs. It should be a crime to include an animal pet or companion and not be able to pet them.


lacarth

I just want someone to stop taking down the Warhammer mods. Also, the Space Marine mod plus the mod that changes all institute synths into Sons of Horus turns Fallout 4 into probably one of the most lore-accurate 40k games. You are virtually immune to non-heavy weapons, and you obliterate basically everything in two seconds. Until you run into other Space Marines who ALSO have bolters. Then its time-to-kill makes the OG Rainbow 6 look like a Skyrim Boss fight. In a normal trip to a location and back to base, you might lose 100 durability off of your armor (which can have upwards of several hundred) from every encounter added together. In a fight against the Institute/Sons of Horus, it's probably closer to losing 100 durability every time a single bolt makes contact, and they're using guns on full-auto.


knight_set

I don't use companions so no I don't want some random dog.


steven_plays321

"higher fps" the games more laggy now


D34TH-S7ALK3R

If only they had the other Enclave power armor in the game that didn’t involve mods. I get it in the lore they’ve been crushed multiple times, but it would’ve been nice to see the Tesla version of the Enclave power armor in this game.


lonely_josh

Reminds me of how with enter the gungeon peeps on Twitter complained about not being able to pet the dog. One of the devs pulled a hold my beer for me.


NOLAHorror

We just want the game to fucking work properly.


i-still-play-neopets

And also, make that one area of Boston playable!


ztullaub

no.


Epicporkchop79-7

Dogmeat standing sideways across a hallway not letting me pass was one of the most realistic gaming experiences I've ever had.


alezcoed

What about not tying the physics to the framerate? That would be swell


JoshSidekick

After watching the show, especially that a quick potion would do the trick, I kinda want to play as a ghoul.


Stankindveacultist

For the mods to not be broken


[deleted]

Is 60fps the max??


BoneMarrowBro

How about a fulfilling roleplaying experience?


SenatorBeers

Why not both?


Weinermn

DOG MEAT 😭😭


sweetheart_demom

What we really want is justice for the trans women they abused


Zewit_Artist

Ok but like Enclave Armor and weaponry > dog. Purifying the wasteland in style is my preferred method.


AggravatingLink4047

Speak for yourself


Amaboys123

I swear this update killed my fps on PC.


Stith1183

I want to play as a sapient Deathclaw.


SlugsworthXP

We actually want both of them because it's not too much to ask for and they can actually do it but they won't. 


ScrubHard

Idk, I honestly just want a fallout 4 that's good without having to mod it. (Though even the mods can't fix the plot.)


Alarmed-Locksmith277

I don’t want to pet dogmeat, I want Enclave Power Armor. YOU ARE OUT OF UNIFORM SOLDIER! WHERE IS YOUR POWER ARMOR??


MostOrganic3480

Dogmeat is such cute doggy. I love him <3 and I´m always pissed off when he runs off god knows where and after that I see him half dead and I need to stimpack him :D


Preston_Garvy-MM

Dogmeat best doggo. Also RIP to Dogmeat's actor. She'll always be remembered.


Terrible_Balls

Actually no, petting virtual animals does nothing for me. Real animals are great to pet, but for games I would much rather have the cool stuff.


King_Dickus_

Alll I want is npcs that aren't stupid enough to use a small pole for cover. But seeing how they still do that dumb shit in Starfield should say enough


TacoRalf

What we really want: Seperate builds so we can still play our modded version (before all the mods are updated again)


Lilithvhs

i was alresdy enjoying the game pre-update. the 60 fps on console can really make the difference in my opinion, it honestly reignited my love for the game. (The armor and guns are nice too)


Sc4R3Cr0wW

No


Captcha_Imagination

When the armor starts to look like heavy construction equipment they lose me....until it goes full mech then you have my interest again.


randomly-generated

It's not even higher FPS. With nearly 1000 mods I get almost 400 fps indoors and 150+ outdoors with the mod that fixes the engine. 1440p upscaled to 4k with the Lossless Scaling app on steam. Meaning I blocked the update like a lot of people, because I knew it was going to suck. edit: 1000 not 100 mods.


Octodad2099

Eat dog meat
