The Commonwealth Gallery!, A Fallout 4 screenshot thread Options

[Rihanae]

Hey!

I basically added this as Fallout 4 screenshots may get confused in the general thread... and seeing as the Fallout 4 players on here are quite small for now I thought it would be nice for us to have our own separate space so our screenies don't get drowned out in the screenies on the general thread (not that FO3 &NV screenies aren't gorgeous of course!

Thanks folks! I really appreciate the feedback.

Renee- Vivid Weathers is a weather mod from our wonderful PC community. The main mod just loads in an even chance of having all the weathers in the game. The modder has also given us season plug-ins that are simply autumn, winter, spring and summer. He has also made a Silent Hill plug-in that is just fog, lol.

Obviously you just load one season at a time (or just use the lowest one on your mod order) and it blocks the weather that does not suit that season. Autumn is rainy, thunder and fog, Winter is rad storms, light and heavy snow, Spring is slightly clearer weather and Summer is lovely blue skies with some thunder.

Autumn is more like England weather than north-east USA, but I guess he did that so that it feels different to the spring.

I plan to use "Spring in the Commonwealth," a mod that adds new grass growth to simulate the return of warm weather after I have finished with winter. All in all these mods are really neat.

Acadian- Thanks for the Buffy approval. I started out Chalice as a scientist type and somehow she is ending up like Buffy's twin. Not that that is a bad thing, of course!

I agree with your comment on Morthal. That area from Morthal to Windstad Manor was my favorite area of Skyrim. I must love bleak weather.

SubRosa- Thanks for another Buffy tick of approval. Our little bow girl does have one lovely pony-tail. Chalice is following in her wake!

The fog does look very Silent Hill. There was one point last week where I came out of a building after using the campsite mod overnight and discovered a massive pea soup had descended over the whole Commonwealth. And I mean pea soup. It was so thick that I had to look down just to see the road I was trying to follow. It was amazing!!! All I needed was the radio static to alert me of enemies.

mALX- Thank you so much!!!!!

It is hard to say much about the weather mod other than it really is fantastic. When you see it running the mist and fog look heaps better than the screen pic can really do justice. Every day is just rain, mist, fog and now little snow leading into heavy snow and radioactive storms. I love the oppressive heavy feel of each day in the Commonwealth and enjoy hunting in the ruins of Boston.

The horrible weather also has the side bonus of causing me to get lost when I am traveling- as every place now looks so different, lol. Bethesda's Fallout has very, very boring weather and has little variety in cloud features, the game now has so many cloud layers I have lost count.

I do not want to say much about Chalice's dark side as it is related to the way some of the various quest lines are playing out. My character is really at the crossroads though- which way, light side or dark??

Acadian's Quest has yet to play out. I must go back to Far Harbor and get some more of that done.

I will post some more Fallout pics next weekend.

Well, if it adds oppression to the game, I'll stop complaining then!

It does obscure the screenshots, but if it offers you a more challenging game, then that is fine. Does that fog come indoors too? Can you even see enemies attacking while out walking? I bet it makes the game scarier to have them popping out of the mist!

Anyway, sorry for the griping, that was one of my big beefs in Skyrim was the fog everywhere - even indoors! I guess fog isn't one of my favorite things, lol.

Oh, you should see SubRosa's skies; she has "The Red Sun of Krypton" in one of her Fallout games! It was cool and really gave the feel of a post apocalyptic life - ozone burned out, sun burning the remains of ground to a crust and it kind of explains the lack of vegetation and why the once colorful buildings were now faded to varied shades of gray. It was fantastic! You could imagine people having to wear their shirts tied around their head to survive that intense sun, (my kind of oppression, plus it enhanced her screenshot; lol)

Anyway, I'm dying to know about this dark side, you have perked my curiosity now! I'm going to hunt it on YouTube, lol.
