Eivion Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I've only hit up the second faction hub, but I'm enjoying it a good deal as well. The characters, story, and the general atmosphere of the area are all pretty damn nice. I'm digging the new creatures. I haven't fought any higher level stuff, but even the low level creatures seem to pack a bit more oomph than their levels would suggest. I'm not one of the many obsessed with level action rifles, but I can't deny I quite like the weapon here. Also seems like we have new legendary effects along with some of the perks adding addition ranks. Definitely make sure to bring Nick along. It also looks like factions from the main game can have an effect on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Thanks for the info. I heard that Nick was the best one to bring along for this. Just gotta track him down. I have him running supplies from The Mechanist Lair to well, somewhere. Can't remember where I sent him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Found a really shitty bug after I installed Far Harbor. After installing it, I can't enter Power Armor. I keep getting a message that says "Cannot enter at this time". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 That sucks. Unrelated to Far Harbor: I keep having this glitch where the population of Oberland Station doubles when I'm not there, which makes the happiness score plummet. As soon as I'm actually there the population returns to normal. It might help if I add enough beds to accommodate the inflated population, but there's not a lot of room in the settlement, and I'm currently a bit short on resources.

Michael Sweetser Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 There's a bed glitch of some sort - it's happening to me in Abernathy Farm. It can happen anywhere there's already assigned beds - sometimes the game doesn't count them properly. From what I've read (I can't find the link now) you can cover the glitched bed with a rug (which apparently covers everything) and then group-select the whole shebang away (either storing or scrapping). Create new beds and it'll fix it. I'm having some framerate issues on the PS4 in Far Harbor because of the fog, but I'm loving the story so far. By the way, no spoilers, but check out the raider and holotapes in Haddock Cove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 The bed/happiness settlement issue is something I've heard just about everyone deal with. It's got something to do with the Pip Boy. I've heard of different fixes like not putting tvs or juke boxes in settlements. I've also heard that fast traveling from some settlements is what triggers it so what you should do is walk a little ways from the settlement and then fast travel away from it. The fast travel one seems to work for me sometimes and my issues have somewhat lessened by not putting tvs in settlements but they're not 100% fixes by any stretch. And I think it's an issue with all settlements. I've had it happen at Hangman's, Oberland, Starlight, Nordhagen and Sanctuary. Sanctuary is the worst one though.

Michael Sweetser Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Yeah, Sanctuary glitched for me as well, but Abernathy is doing it far worse. Also, I have been just inundated with settlement attacks since Far Harbor. Plus I'm storing all my cages at Abernathy right now, which isn't helping the attack rate. Re: Haddock Cove, because to heck with it: The outpost has been built up by the Husky Family... Bray, Luke, Rowan and Braun. The latter three are gone, and you find Bray dead, with two holotapes that tell the story: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Couldn't resist and clicked on the spoiler. Did you name those guys yourself with a mod or is that an easter egg by Bethesda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwoy2j Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 That's awesome! So have you had problems with using Power Armor since installing Far Harbor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert C Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Is Far Harbor like Point Lookout was, where you can go back and forth whenever you want, or is it just a one time thing? I'd like to take a look around the place now, but I want to wait before I really dig into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Done two settlement quests for Far Harbor and I like the spin on them. One is a mixture of your basic defend the settlement with hunting down raiders, only one of the settlers will be pissed and travel all the way to a location to take out the enemy with you, The other a monster siege/repair job that is both awesome and frightening.

Michael Sweetser Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 I've been very happy with the DLC mission variety. I enjoyed the DiMA memory missions as well - a fun combo of Lemmings and tower defense, using the workshop mode to build. As a tip, don't forget you can store the blocks in the "workshop" while you're running around the map. Knowing that early would've saved me a LOT of pointless running around. Also, you can fall off the map - you'll be beamed back to start and asked if you want to quit the simulation, but with no ill effects. Also, if the bugs die, more will respawn, so don't worry if the sentries pick one or two off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I heard anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't evacuate the Institute, all the gorillas and everyone died, and yet, I have a pet gorilla bashing intruders' skulls in at Abernathy Farm. The dude's defense AND happiness. I call him George. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sweetser Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Beat the DLC, and it was pretty awesome. By covering up DiMA's secret and basically not being a dick, I was able to get everybody living together in relative harmony. Even saved Kasumi, who stayed in Acadia. I can't wait to go through this with my planned synth build, join the Institute and the Children of the Atom, and burn the world to the ground. Right now, while I'm cleaning up stuff like the Islander's Almanacs, I finally sent Nick home with full honors (meaning, I let him keep his power armor) and hooked up with Longfellow. I gave him The Fish Catcher as a weapon, and he is just WRECKING shit with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. There were quite a few people complaining about that on the Bethesda message board when WW came out. Then again all anyone on that board does is complain. And you get a like for calling your gorilla George. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Evacuation was definitely supposed be required for Gorillas. I wonder if they silently removed it in one of the updates because of the mass bitching people did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Would make sense. I'm sure most everyone had already finished the main quest by the time WW was released. Not really fair to restrict access to a feature based on a choice people made before the DLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I evacuated the Institute just b/c most of your companions hate it if you don't. I think I was traveling with Piper at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't gotten into Far Harbor yet b/c of the power armor glitch. I meant to jump into it a bit yesterday b/c they have fixed that glitch but I got distracted by a bunch of settlement attacks and "defend the checkpoint" side quests. By the time I was done with those, I had to head out for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
