should I keep rocking survival mode

To be completely honest, I both love and dislike survival mode at once. The fact you can't see your *level* for dehydration, or food, or tiredeness is part of that, but also yeah it makes the game hardcore; a single randomly placed headshot from a random bot will kill you. It definitely adds more of the vibe I always wanted from fallout to the game, but it doesn't make sense that I can shoot a hooligan three times in the head with the same gun he has and then he just kills me with one shot. I think "survival" mode in games needs to not just "make it harder" but extend realism, if I shoot a hooligan in the head and they take a bit of damage and shoot me in the head right after and kill me from full health, that's not good balancing. Curious to hear what people have to say about enemy balancing here.

Is there a better armor setup?

Hi! I trying to find a better armor for myself to boost my physical protection. Right now I wear:

  1. Cavalry Elite Uniform (Clean and ballistic weave)
  2. Mountbatten's Hat (Ballistic weave)
  3. Heavy riot police chest peace (Max upgrade, asbestos lining)
  4. Heavy metal arms and legs armor (Max upgrade, for some reason they provide better physical armor then heavy riot variant, with the exception of chest peace)
  5. Apache Knee Pad (+1 physical armor)
  6. Apache Gloves (+1 physical armor)
  7. Camo Cape (+5 physical armor)
  8. Expired Combat Rebreather (+6 physical armor)
  9. Jagimet Shoulders (+5 physical and energy armor)

In total I get 450 physical and 392 energy protection.

Is there any other armor that can provide better protection? Or it's maximum (besides raider power armor MK2) that I can get?

Update: Thanks for all your tips! I swap some peaces and end up with this:

  1. I swap Heavy metal arms and Heavy riot police chest peace to a Greaser Jacket Coat (ballistic weave)
  2. Swapped Camo Cape for a Greaser Jacket vest (ballistic weave)
  3. Swapped Expired Combat Rebreather for Enchantress Shawl (ballistic weave)
  4. Added white mask (+1 physical armor, although it's should give 17, but it's bugged)

In the end I managed to get 665 physical and 629 energy defense!

What’s the current state of FOLON?

I check in every six months or so to see how it’s developing technically in terms of balancing and optimization. How do you think it’s improved since release?

stealth issues

Hi,
I always play stealth builds in fallout, in survival mode. In base game it was too op. In horizon it was ok i think.
I have tried it in london there when you need the cross with the ferryman, stealh is useless and random hooligans one shot you.
as spoiler free as possible, is there many of these 'events' in the future when i cannot use stealth?
will full armor + high level help me to overcome this? I tried at lvl 12.
Or stealth builds not so feasible here?
Thanks!
Attila.

Stuck on Angel Arc

Hey fellow Wayfarers, any help you can provide would be appreciated. I have reached the point of the Angel arc where the quests are to kill Eve and Arthur. However, nothing I do will trigger the quests to progress. I've went to the underground bar and talked to the barkeep - nothing. Went to Camelot - nothing. Other threads on reddit identify the same issue, but they are very old now, so I thought I would inquire if there is a solution now. I really don’t want to use a console command if possible. Thank you in advance!

Getting to submarine

What's the intended method to get to the submarine? I did it once and it was very difficult, and I reloaded an older save. Now I'm attempting it again, and the same problem. It appears there was an intended method to jump there, but there's massive gap that can't be jumped across. Maybe it washed away, maybe it's only for those with a jetpack? But I am forced to swim partway, and at that point I am underwater too long - it is too difficult to jump out of the water onto a board. There are just to many loading of saves (in survival). And then there's the trip back to shore again...

The damaged hazmat suit really is minimal protection, it's no different from just using my normal armor.

Is this a bug or is it indented that I practice the jump into and out of water as fast as I can?

Crashes immediately after a black screen

Fresh install, fresh install of Windows as well.

Was able to play for a while but now when I click launch, it opens a black screen for less than a second and that's all I get.

I've verified all files via Steam. Made sure the version didn't update, set bfullscreen to 0 and as it is a Windows machine, I restarted it.

What might I be overlooking?

Empress out of reach

I have a hazmat suit on and loads of radaway but she's just too far from shore for me to get proof that I have killed her. Suggestions?

How the hell do install radio mods manually?

I am trying to install the radio stations that got my attention in the Sounds Of Ol' Blighty mod on Nexus, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to install them manually.

Modded profiles on Vortex for both GOG and Steam FO4?

I recently bought a new PC and is setting up everything. I own FO4 on both GOG and Steam and was wondering if the following is possible:

1: Install the GOG FO4 for only playing Fallout London. I would like to use Vortex to add different profiles to have different mods runs in Fallout London. Should I install FO London directly from GOG or base FO4 first then the London mod?

2: Install the Steam FO4 version 1.10.163, the pre- NextGen “update”. Can I install this version directly from Steam or do I have to downgrade from latest version? What is the best way to downgrade if that must be done?

3: On the Steam FO4 version I plan to use Vortex to install different FO4 modded profiles for my different runs.

- And here is the problem: Can this be done? Can I install 2 versions of FO4, GOG and Steam, and then use Vortex to make separate profiles for both? So in some profiles it runs GOGs installed FO4, and in other profiles it runs Steams FO4.

If yes, then how do I do this? I haven’t tried installing this yet, so hopefully I might be over complicating this by seeing a problem that’s not there?

If no, do you have suggestions on how I should do it otherwise?

Sorry if my english and ability to explain the problem is bad. Hope you understand, if not then just ask me for more details.
