Fallout 4

Does the season pass include the cheaper smaller DLC's or only the larger ones like Far Harbor?

All of them...it's worth the price, IMO, even if you just want to get the Far Harbor. As you can get the pass right now for 25 and that's the price of the Far Harbor pack alone.

The pass is $30 right now unless you know of a discount somewhere?

Re: Fallout 4

So, the Survival mode, I just assumed it was just "enemies take 3,000 bullets to kill; you take a bullet to the calf, and you're dead" kind of thing.

Is that correct?

And with the DLC, would it still be that way but with the food/sleep/disease angle added in? I think that would be cool, but if it was still that enemies are mega powerful and my HP was lowered, I just don't think I would be able to hang.

I don't think it's through the dlc that they're adding the hardcore mode elements, that's a free update. But there is some bullet sponginess in survival mode, it's not overly difficult though.

I don't know if you ever played hardcore mode in New Vegas, but it's pretty great if you're looking for that added rpg element.

Re: Fallout 4

Unrelated question: how does the season pass work? I'm assuming it allows me to digitally download the dlc, and that it's an annual subscription. But once it runs out, am I still able to use the dlc?

It lets you download all DLC once each becomes available. Its just buying it in a package deal instead of piece by piece. It does not expire.

You buy the season pass once pay the $30 or whatever that new price is, then you get all the DLC forever. Just like any buying any other DLC. Think of it as going to Costco or Sam's club and buying in bulk. You are buying all of the DLC for $29.99 instead of $39.97, if you bought the 3 announced DLCs separately.

Re: Fallout 4

Sounds pretty good. I think I'll be buying season pass prior to March 1st.

Wife got me this for our anniversary. The only thing is that the controller cover doesn't match my blue controller. uploadfromtaptalk1456040484648.jpg

Re: Fallout 4

Reddit user claims to have extracted some game files and got info regarding the upcoming Survival mode. Beyond the usual eat/drink/rest there's some hardcore stuff.

No manual or auto saves. You have to find a bed and rest for at least and hour. No big deal except, there's no fast travel either. Ammo has weight. New adrenaline meter that increases your damage for every kill. It lowers after resting.

Less major, enemies won't show on compass. You'll deal and take more damage. There will be Sickness you can get from eating uncooked meat, unpure water, damage from ghouls etc. Antibiotics can be crafted to heal it. Bed types determine how long you can sleep. Crippled limbs stay crippled after combat till stimpak use. Companions don't auto revive after combat and will return home if abandoned.

Edit: There's nothing in there regarding weapon degradation.

Players will have access to official tools, available for PC in April and Xbox One and Playstation 4 in June, allowing them to build their own content, Todd Howard told Game Informer.

Re: Fallout 4

Really curious to see how curated mods will be on console and if mods that use a script extender will be allowed.

Re: Fallout 4

Here's the full Fallout 4 Survival Mode update:

Weighted Ammo - "Bullets and shells now all have a small amount of weight, which varies by caliber. Heavier items such as fusion cores, rockets, and mini-nukes can really drag you down.

Compass - "Be sure to keep your eyes peeled, as enemies will no longer appear on your compass. As well, the distance at which locations of interest will appear has been significantly shortened.

Adrenaline - "Survival automatically grants the Adrenaline perk, which provides a bonus to your damage output. Unlike other perks, the only way to increase your rank of the Adrenaline perk is by getting kills (hostile or otherwise).

"The higher your Adrenaline rank, the higher the damage bonus. Sleeping for more than an hour, however, will cause your Adrenaline rank to lower. You can check your current Adrenaline rank at any time in the Perks section on the Stat tab in your Pip-Boy.

Wellness - "You'll find it difficult to survive without taking proper care of yourself. You must stay hydrated, fed, and rested to remain combat-ready. Going for extended periods of time without food, water, or sleep will begin to adversely affect your health, hurting your SPECIAL stats, adding to your Fatigue, lowering your immunity, and eventually even dealing physical damage to you.

Fatigue - "Fatigue works like radiation but affects your Action Points (AP) rather than your Hit Points (HP). The more Fatigue you've built up, the less AP you'll have for other actions. The amount of Fatigue you've accumulated is displayed in red on your AP bar.

Sickness - "A compromised immune system and a few questionable decisions can end up getting you killed. Eating uncooked meat, drinking unpurified water, taking damage from disease-ridden sources, such as ghouls and bugs, or using harmful Chems all put your body at increased risk for various ill effects. When you are afflicted with an illness, a message will appear onscreen.

Antibiotics - Antibiotics, which can be crafted at Chem Stations or purchased from doctors, heal the various effects of sickness.

Bed Types - The type of bed you're sleeping in determines the length of time you are able to stay asleep. A sleeping bag will save your game and may help save your life when you're desperate, but it will never allow for a full night's rest and the benefits that come with it.

Crippled Limbs - "Crippled limbs will no longer auto-heal after combat and will remain crippled until healed by a Stimpak.

Carry Weight - "Exceeding your carry weight reduces your Endurance and Agility stats and periodically damages your legs and health. Think of your back!

Companions - "Companions will no longer automatically get back up if downed during combat and will return home if abandoned without being healed.

Enemy and Loot Repopulation - "Locations you've cleared will now repopulate enemies and loot at a significantly slower rate.
