      @@WillowPlaysGames The guides how how I make challenge videos? I'm happy that they helped! Honestly I had no idea people were still watching those old guides. I have a bit of a more efficient system of doing it now, maybe I should update those
      Either way, I love the way you present everything. The cut outs of the in-game assets with the green PipBoy like boxes with the text are awesome! There's actually a royalty free text called "Overseer" you can use that looks extremely close to the official Fallout text, but all of the O's have a cross through them, so it sometimes looks a little awkward depending on what you're using the text for

    What about a baseball challenge? Baseball bats and baseball grenades as primary weapons. Rock-it launcher is ok only if you use only baseballs/baseball related items as ammo. Only clothing/armor allowed is baseball uniforms or a diamond set of city guard armor. Armor that goes over it can only be leather. If you wanted, there's a mod that let's you find the unique baseball bat "Lucille".

      @WillowPlaysGames  Рік тому +16

      I think overall this is harder than the hardest normal difficulty. It doesn't particularly matter if enemies are bullet sponges because the tactics I use to avoid damage will just mean fights take longer.. The player character being squishy is much more difficult to deal with imo because it requires me to play more slowly and strategically than I normally would.

      It's debatable whether Very Hard is more difficult even if you only consider the combat and even if you ignore the fact that the Survival character shows up to the fight with much less gear and probably debuffs. The only arguments I've seen assume that you are at max adrenalin but fail to appreciate what a two edged sword adrenalin is.

      The size of the balls on Bethesda to make a game where you can't save.... like, you've literally never developed a functioning game.
      Save mods for survival are a must, and I think being unable to select what you'd like to implement (for example hunger, thirst etc on very hard) is such a dropped ball. The fact that there are dozens of mods to fix up survival (balancing, saving, camping, etc etc) is testament to just how poorly implemented it is.

    Didn't realise it was your first challenge video until you mentioned it 😂
    I can't remember the weapons name, or if it was just a legendary/W perk, but I'd love to see a Survival limb crippler challenge, leg and arm shots only with it.
    If it's a perk then preferably on a weaker weapons though

    Challenge suggestions? I would like to see a casual playthrough of you on survival honestly. If not that then maybe a "no weapon upgrade" run on survival? Or melee only? Or only Laser weapons because I´m basic and like shiny thing :)
    As for the quality of the video it´s really solid. I especially like your "no glitches or exploit" rule. It´s just clean, high level gameplay with a deep understanding of the mechanics. I love stuff like that.

      I did a modded playthrough on my first channel here's a link to the playlist. ua-cam.com/play/PLkWNfo-30Q5oGMSWCzf7sBeBh5PkzLGc-.html
      fair warning though, I was learning how to make videos back then and getting comfortable talking so it's rough.
      Thank you for the suggestions! I may do one or all of them!

    I pretty much beat the vast majority of the game with pipe pistols not because of a challenge but because of necessity. A normal pipe pistol to build crit, then a revolver to pop 'em.

    The healing can be mostly mitigated with Medic. Strong back is a must as a bad back is a horrible disadvantage. Chemist and Medic have synergy. Aqualad makes travel faster and safer. Take every rule for beating the game on Very Hard or lower and throw them out! On survival the perks that are a 'waste' are the ones you want! Good video.
    Oh 'keep radiants in the commonwealth' is a mod!
    You get fusion cores in home plate at least sometimes. So paying the 2000 caps is a worth it. Also there's one under concord.
    Build beds in every settlement.
    Nicks default weapon is a pipe revolver pistol. You didn't have to give him one but I'd have given him a fully upgraded one as well.
    Bashing with a pipe weapon is using it!
    Giving Mama Murphy drugs makes the main quest easier!
    Can you beat Fallout 4 without taking any weapon using mods? No Big leagues, Iron Fist, Heavy Gunner, Rifleman, gunslinger, commando or demolition expert? See the female character probably knows squat about weapons the guy is the ex-soldier. So poison, charisma, luck, dog and companions! Also arty strikes and minutemen flares.

    Heh, the UA-cam gods blessed the, also your run is not invalidated. As MANY different UA-camrs have used the partners that are required in a quest to fight people. Especially for weapon specific runs. The logic being as long as YOU don't instigate the kill, it does not count. Companions do tend to be a no go as you choose to bring them along, though for since you have been having them use the pipe weapons (which have horrible accuracy and waste ammo) I think it is fine.

      @@WillowPlaysGames Yep! No issue, so for future challenge runs, it is best not to have companions unless absolutely necessary and not to worry about the npc that are forced to be with you. (Danse when raiding ArcJet or Deacon in clearing the Switchboard) Hopefully that helps ya out!

    can you beat FO4 as the spy from team fortress 2?
    can only use a .44 magnum revolver and a combat knife. you also need to wear a clean blue suit and a sack hood (cheat in the 2 armor pieces and the knife at the start if you want)
    side with the railroad as they're you're literally a spy in the institute
    overall, its a stealth build and you should try to backstab targets when possible

    Hey, when you’re on the vertibird fighting the behemoth, if you don’t shoot and let the behemoth destroy the vertibird, you rag doll out of it and survive (at least I did in power armor) I have a clip of it. But just in case you didn’t know you could do that :)

    The dialogue skipping bug might be due to having an unlocked or high refresh rate, theres a simple mod on nexus that can fix it if you want to play with over 60fps, or you can lock it at 60 and not use the mod (but be aware that achievements might not be unlockable unless you use a mod that enables them again), i also suffered from this mid playthrough because i happened to change from my old 60hz monitor to a 144hz one and dialogues started skipping all the time and it was annoying as hell lol

    "Everyone's favorite doggo"?
    I feel like that only applies for FO4 with how in-the-way this Dogmeat can be. And he's not a cyborg dog, which automatically makes him less cool than Rex from NV. But FO4 Dogmeat is still a good boy. Most of the time at least... He has his annoying moments, but he's still a good doggo.

    It just works.

  • @Shockpoint

    Honestly, if the game is requiring you to use a certain weapon and/or kill some things to progress and that would mean "failing the run", I think they're fine to use. The minigun is fair game as long as it's used only for that bit. You're using the challenge run items for everything where you aren't forced, so it works.

    I just realized, I think this is a Spaceballs reference. I looked it up; King Harold's password is 12345. In this case, it's the mayor's password, and it's 123456 lol Has to be a Spaceballs reference, but of course being America it would not make sense if it was a king's password nor a prince and well making it the president's password would be a bit too convenient or on the nose I think. So going with the Mayor of Boston seems reasonable.

    I actually completed this challenge inadvertently when they first made survival difficulty what it currently is. Stealth build with a Nocturnal pipe bolt-action rifle gives you a lot of leeway in ammo and carry weight, few enemies will be able to survive more than 1 hit. For anything that doesn't kill, a barebones rapid pipe SMG normally does well enough, with or without a legendary effect. The pipe revolver is a decent middle ground if you only want to carry one weapon, but it will be weaker than the bolt-action, slower than the SMG, and heavier than either.
    Keep to the basic stock and long light barrel and you can keep a suppressed .50 cal pipe rifle at less than 9 weight, leaving you plenty of room for food and water or more ammo. If you side with the Railroad you can add armored linings to many clothing items which can bump your defense up a few hundred points even without wearing armor, plus you can get Deacon's perk for bonus sneak attack damage. If you like using VATS, you can save Cait for an AP regen boost, and help out MacCready for a substantial boost to headshot accuracy.

    Lots of youtubers are going with the pure wacky meme challenges. If you happened to merge wacky meme and hardcore challenges together, I think this would be my new favorite channel. Or hell, just give more hard challenges and I'll watch. Ideas are a bit scarce though for the base game since this game has had a lot of creators look at it. The big meme challengers have been avoiding mods though for a 'pure challenge' feel. If you look for some mods that up the difficulty, like Frostfall, or even just added mods for more weird challenges like repaired faction dialogue for the different games or new player quests, etc.
    If it sounds a bit rambly, it's because it is, but also because there are just a lot of ways you can do challenge videos. Just a bit of advice, if you go down this rabbit hole it's probably what this particular channel will basically be locked into and may not give non-bethesda/challenge games the same priority in the feeds. So just be a bit mindful if THIS is the channel you want those challenges on.
    Oh, and if you don't take advantage of the way this episode blew up soon you might lose it's momentum. Good luck!
