Anything good for the UI yet? Like commanding companions or sorting loot better.
AFAIK the only mods for that right now are the ones that rename items into something like "[junk] Piper's Supermutant Dildo" so they're sorted better.

There a some silly mods, too. I think I remember one with The Moon from Majora's Mask (but I could be wrong)?
There are lots that change the XP gain "cha-ching" into something else or remove it altogether, I've noticed.

There's a mod that plays this whenever you level up. It's great.

What noise does it play default? I've always liked New Vegas'.

It plays one of these. I think it's randomly selected.

there's the one that changes the dialogue to actually show what you're going to say, but it reveals that your dialogue options amount to "yes, yes, yes, yes"

simple: take the least polite "yes" and never do the quest
unless you mean minuteman assignments, because the fact that you actually travel to the settlement that needs help shows you're already committed to doing it

Apparently if you complete a set of 7 Sentinel's armor pieces (and weapon), you become completely invulnerable while standing still... :o

At 15% damage reduction each that comes to a total of 105% damage reduction, so the numbers check out.

Not sure why I'd bother when I can just storm forward in power armour and unleash the PAIN TRAIN (perk) on my enemies though.

Fallout 3, Oblivion and IIRC Skyrim all had 85% damage reduction cap; you sure FO4 doesn't too?

That might not apply to the legendary modifier, though given the way that armour has been overhauled for FO4 it's possible that normal armour doesn't even have a cap anymore since the whole thing works differently.

FO4 definitely has a scratch damage mechanic of some kind, but I think the cap is much higher than in previous games.  Maybe a minimum of 1 damage from an attack or something.  I know that standing around in power armor and eating pipe gun bullets still hurts me, despite the fact that my DT is many times that of the gun's damage, but it's insignificant damage.

That was in NV as well, I believe, though it applied more to enemies than to you. You'd still deal some damage if their DT exceeded your weapon's DAM, but it would be pretty paltry.

So it seems the modding tools are coming out in April. Between the first two of the announced DLCs, which might make everything but the pokemon arena part of the second DLC redundant for PC.

And a reddit dataminer found the survival mode changes, which were confirmed by Bethesda. No date on it, though.

Survival Mode is PERFECT except for save points (what is this, 1995??) disabling fast travel, and disabling enemies on your compass.  Like, with all the quests that take you halfway across the commonwealth, why in god's name would they make you walk the whole way?
