Thread by @Worthless_Bums

Alright, new thread for this. The basic idea is a permadeath run from Fallout 76 > 1 > 2 > 3 > NV > 4.
#Fallout76123NV4

Lorebreaking inspired by this comic xD

https://twitter.com/Worthless_Bums/status/1077111059197165568

Seeing as how there's no endpoint in 76 I'll cook up some condition(s), e.g. a mutation combo.

It might be interesting to deliberately have a condition be... to not set off a nuke.

Need Chameleon + Unstable, no serums or deliberate mutation farming?

Goody goody toon might stop at Signal Strength?

There's a question of how I want to "import" toons between games, but I think it should probably work like this:

- Establish a build in 76.
- Start at level 1 in FO1 & 2, just build loosely according to 76.
- Tale of Two Wastelands 3/NV might start carrying over progression.

There's just no good way to import from 76 -> 1/2 anyway, and you'll quickly break the power curve on 1/2 trying.

Having done 3/NV before it might not even be good to carry progression over to 4, just start at level 1 every time I can, just following the initial build spirit.

I'm gonna be so mad about the stat tracking. So mad.

This all sounds grand until I realize I'm going to die in 1/2 like fifty times before making it to 3.

Someone who is not me please make a 76 mod for saving face templates, please and thank you.

I forgot how to work the 76 controls so I have the most boring ass photo id card now I hope I die.

Being Well Tuned is important.

Wait, is this new??? MILKING MAH COWZ.

Hrm it didn't give me milk, tho. Maybe random chance?

Ah-ha, milked another one and got mah milk xD

Brahmin milk removes rads. Good for a toon allergic to radaway or something.

Don't remember all these packs of level 1 scorched on the way to Morgantown. New, I think.

Fasnacht event more or less reaffirms that 76 needs goddamn text chat.

This is good shit but goddammit WE NEED BASIC CHAT FUNCTIONALITY THIS IS LIKE APPLE'S ONE BUTTON MOUSE NO YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL IN A GOOD WAY.

I kinda wish chronologically this would end on 76.

Oh goddammit, @austin_walker was like TIME TRAVEL and I looked it up and IS THIS CANON??? xD

Or is this more like New Vegas style Wild Wasteland.

A 76 > 1 > 2 > 76 loop does not appeal to me since that means I can't go back to 3/NV/4 xD

I just realized a time loop from 4 -> 76 would actually be really cool because unlike the single player Fallout games I can't console command/save edit my character in 76, so reloading my character in 76 is a literal bookmark in time.

Unless like.

Parardox.

And I have to try and kill my doppelganger.

Maybe you get reset to the moment you wake up in 76. Start level 1 again.

WHAT

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT

AGES INTO BOURBON

GET VACCINATED, YOU FUCKERS.

I wonder if there's like... one specific weapon all Fallout games have that I can carry through.

I still like this mission.

shitfuck

"Just shortcut through the southwest route, Bums. It'll be fine."

Still only five character slots? Bah xD

So apparently the hunting rifle isn't even really through all the games, in the sense that it changes caliber. Hrm.

I feel like that counts enough. I mean you live a hundred years you can learn to re-barrel xD

No pipe rifle in FO1 so D:

Laser and plasma rifles exist throughout but boy if you take that you are gonna get tooled early on in FO1/2, eh? xD

Also I guess the classic laser rifle is not the same as in the 3/NV/4 games.

I guess I could see if there are mods for FO1/2 weapons for 3/NV/4 that already exist in 76.

Too bad 1/2 don't have revolvers. A cowboy run woulda been great.

Hrm. FO4 does not have a 10mm smg in vanilla, but I could mod that in...

So in terms of ranged weapons it seems my options are:

- 10mm pistol
- 10mm smg (FO4 modded)
- Minigun
- Hunting rifle (ignoring model/caliber)

Or we just go with the usual "in the spirit of" and use whatever the games have available.

Coming up with punny names is a full time job.

This is an extremely important part of these runs and I will in no way be tearing my hair out regarding hours slept and items scrapped.

NGL I'm considering ignoring some of these xD

Alternately I will play in a very... loot-frugal way xD

Hrm, maybe 76 already tracks some of these, so if I screenshot the stats and only play this character until I hit FO1 that might be easier.

Not much, actually >.>

I wonder how pacifist I can get away with to reduce my manual stat tracking.

Marsuuuuuuuupial.

My weird pacifist build atm. Haven't engaged in any combat yet.

You still take radiation damage for collecting dirty water with 3x Lead Belly womp womp.

Hrm. Not sure if I can do this quest without fighting. Pretty sure this will let me craft the booze stuff tho.

1) Yay, made it outside.

2) I like how this implies it's 164 proof.

As one does when drinking moonshine.

Oh great I gotta hump it halfway across the map without dying now.

Moonshine blackout ftl.

I have succeeded where my last toon did not xD

Random but okay.

Nice. Seems to be a non-combat daily for this.

Nukashine has condition? WORST ALCOHOL.

I can't seem to age the Nukashine into vintage. Not sure what's up with that.

Maybe the condition has to drop off in the fermenter?

Okay yeah, seems to be the case, or it just takes a while. Nice CC @rje

I've set up a little camp next to Flatwoods and all I'm doing is making booze and milking brahmin.

I can live like this perpetually because the brahmin milk removes radiation.

Some automated turrets = pacifist run unlocked? xD

This would work without Lead Belly, the 3x Lead Belly just makes this extremely trivial since you take no rads from food or drink.

Rum is the easiest booze to make at this location since I have snaptails growing on the river bank.

I just need boiled water, wood, snaptail, and sugar (made with wood and snaptail).

Area also good for healing salve ingredients. I haven't actually used any stimpaks at all yet.

The vintage nukashine bottle looks like a syrup bottle with the little handle thing near the opening.

What is that for, even.

Finding nuclear material in the early areas to make nukashine is a pita, tho.

I found @MOOMANiBE.

I wonder if doing the marksmanship training course at Camp McClintock violates a pacifist run.

I mean, I already have turrets at my camp, so probably not? xD

Failing the agility course because the waypoints don't update is feelsbad.

Hrm. Well. I guess I don't know if I can do a pacifist run in 1 or 2 anyway so.

Huh. Just realized this character hasn't been vaccinated yet. I wonder if I can get the blood samples from already-dead things.

I wonder if I can subvert top of the world and the eastern bunkers and just head directly to Belly of the Beast.

Ah, Sugar Grove. The resting place of several of my permadeath toons xD

Three's a crowd.

So uhhh. I did make it to the Glassed Cavern. At level 9. What even? xD

There were two sbs but they were sniping something else so I snaked in.

Binoculars are great don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

They don't look like that, tho >.>

I MADE IT.

I took a quick peak as I was sprinting by the sb but I don't think I saw her body?

Might only spawn if you're on the quest, dang.

(Yeah, I died. RIP this toon. Wanted to see if I could skip the quests.)

Oh her body is there, but she doesn't have the ID card thingy. Too bad.

It's actually not that hard, especially with Marsupial mutation, to run that gauntlet. I just got cornered in the first lefthand tunnel from in front and behind. Whoops.

Seriously I wish 76 tracked all these character stats separately so I didn't have to do it manually.

Okay that was fun flirting with a pacifist run, but I think it might be time to swing a melee toon.

Eh? EHHHH??

You know what I've learned my lesson from Bengeance I'm not good at melee early game stick to rifles.

Okay. Dying from fall damage is embarrassing.

I think I'm getting tired I will create my next toon but not play them xD

Going better since I can kill things now xD

Robosexuality.

Oh. I don't have a quantum.

"Energy Weapons: The amount of condition damage heavy energy weapons take per shot has been greatly reduced, and they should now last 4 to 5 times longer before needing repairs."
Oh. Okay then xD

This has become a tradition for all my permadeath toons xD

(In case you were wondering -where- my last toon fell to his death... yep xD)

JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBUS. Fucking explosives xD

When the scorched are too loud and you're trying to nap.

Back on my bullshit.

The dress stabilizes me.

A very on brand rifle looted.

My gameplay is actually slowed waaaay down because I have to manually record stats, so I'm okay with this.

Explosives are boon and bane in permadeath runs tbh.

Doesn't hurt to keep it on hand. Just in case.

See, you never know when you need to jack up some wendigo's day.

I have overestimated my abilities, time to leave xD

*Runs around swamp at night.*
*Remembers mothman.*
*Hides in building.*

Not the mutation you want to get in the middle of a legendary fight 46 levels above your toon xD

Eh.

I got T-51 and I'm wondering if I can bring it through all the games. Save game editing for 1&2 maybe?

I mean. Of course this is what you get for expending like 200 rounds of .308 killing it.

New patch today. I don't care at all about the new survival mode because it's basically just PVP. Weapon rewards are nice, tho.

Also you can bring "adventure" toons over. Shoulda started everyone on a clean slate.

Nah.

Wait, Fireproof gives explosion damage mitigation now, too?

ENDURANCE SUDDENLY USEFUL.

I feel like this might be worth getting.

They really need to give stat boosts to clothing other than the tattered dress tbh.

Creepy ass gnomes.

*Nopes out.*

This run is going great meaning I'm going to die soon. Wendigo cave next so weeeeee xD

Okay here is my lackluster Imgur link for this run so far:
imgur.com/a/jQtCapo

I have rank 2 Sneak and I'm not sure if it does absolutely nothing or if it's the most overpowered shit ever.

Upgraded to R3. Committed now, I guess xD

Pretty in love with my bolt action .38 atm.

Side note: Yes, R3 Sneak is pretty great. Sneak attacks all day.

Witch witch is the witchiest in witch witchinia.

I thought I finally found a friendly mothman but I got closer and he turned hostile and disappeared :|

Wait... why do I have TWO broken uplinks? o_O

Yeah... this Sneak perk is overpowered.

"Do you wanna be a Skyrim stealth archer except you have massive range?"
"DO I."

I wonder if I should even bother adding a suppressor.

Walking either North-South or West-East in your hex tile game.

I leveled up from 0 xp. I assume this was < 1 xp xD

Dawn on my swamp farm.

Eventually I hope we can get multiple permanent camps and I can specialize. That would be cool.

"This is my fusion core camp."

"This is just for corn and razorgrain to make nukashine."

I almost died because a scorchbeast attacked then a super mutant with a minigun attacked then I ran into a minefield thank fuck for med-x xD

I got addicted to psycho.

Look, game, those super mutants were like twice my level and trying to murder me.

I haven't found a single lifesaving legendary armor piece this run. Makes me nervous xD

I'm almost level 25 but never got the Excavator quest. Hrm.

Roleplay wise I guess I shouldn't know it exists.

What if I don't cure my psycho addiction. Can I carry that through all the games. How bad is psycho addiction in FO1/2? xD

Like mechanically in 76/4 it's dead easy to cure, but Cait had that shit for years, right. There are junkies everywhere.

Gonna... pop some psycho and think about that.

What if the psycho addiction makes me not want to use non-psycho-based chems.

*Slowly removes med-x from hotkey.*

Psycho lasts for 3 minutes, which is about an hour of game time.

How much psycho would an addict take a day.

Interestingly psycho addiction is different across most of the games.
fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Psycho_ad…

Also like... it only takes a week to kick addiction in 1/2?

I feel like if I say 4 psycho a day my entire run will grind to a halt as I sell all my gear for psycho.

Also like... what vendors even sell psycho.

I guess the Enclave med vendor, but I'm pretty far from accessing that.

Alright I'm gonna roll a die. Fuck it. 1D6 SEE HOW MANY PSYCHO SATISFIES MY CHARACTER PER DAY.

I rolled a 2. Okay, I think I can manage that.

This would be easier with the psycho recipe xD

It's fucked that we still can't play as ghouls tbh.

Psycho doesn't seem to fit a sneaky sniper toon. Maybe I should change up my playstyle.

Sigh xD

Healing salve model in the world xD

Hrm. Would this reduce my required psycho per day by 30%? xD

One way to counteract the psycho addiction strength penalty.

Whiskey gives me +4 Strength now xD

The worst Predator.

Piece of shit motherfucker ambushed me in broad daylight. Hopped into power armor and shotgunned him in the face a few times and he disappeared like the coward he is.

This keypad locked safe had nothing in it. Hrm.

🎵 Well, show me the way 🎵
🎵 To the next whisky bar 🎵
🎵 Oh, don't ask why 🎵
🎵 Oh, don't ask why 🎵

I hate the Coming to Fruition quest because the fire turrets are such assholes.

Glad this shit went down before I got here xD

I killed a level 62 3* but it was a long way away and it's dark and I can't find the corpse to loot :|

Ah-ha.

At least it's actually a 3*? xD

Huh. Level 25 cryolator. I could find a use for this.

I'm just saying if this toon makes it to New Vegas she's gonna be a legend.

Me yesterday.

I got this shot of a mega sloth a while ago forgot about it. THE SHROOMS.

"Wow there are a lot of challenges involving getting wasted."
- Me, playing a drunkard, apparently.

Oh, Party Girl does not prevent me from getting addicted to alcohol. Hrm.

Ah nice, my first lever action this run.

Oh the reloading is fixed, too. Nice.

I stole someone's cargo and now I have a wanted bounty of 10 caps this is probably not ideal for a permadeath toon xD

That's fine I am sure I can get my mutation combinations and continue in Fallout 1 before someone kills me.

>.>

<.<

(I think I'm fucked xD)

This run got a lot spicier than I intended.

I'm hiding. I sure hope it wears off eventually? xD

lol Three dudes hunting me

IT'S A TEN CAP BOUNTY GO AWAY xD

Whelp, it's time for dinner I guess. It does not clear or go down in half an hour, apparently.

I sure am learning a lot about hiding from players hunting you down with pip-boy lights xD

Wish I had more stealthboys on me.

There's a weird GONG sound and the wanted icon pulses. It seems random.

Maybe it's players mousing over it on the map?

NGL watching people run by you not seeing you is a rush xD

I just realized I don't even know if there is a timer.

I just assumed there was a timer.

What if there's no timer.

I'll just stay here eating rotting meat as long as I can, I guess xD

I M M E R S I O N

*Looks at pile of meat I have.*

Creeping out to secure provisions.

I hope it doesn't come to this.

Roleplay-wise running out of psycho is gonna force me out of here.

FALL OFF, YOU DAMN BOUNTY.

I just wanna say that I say the "steal" popup on the locked cargo.

But also it was a quest like all the other supply drops and gave me the pip and map marker circle and everything.

In retrospect dying over that would be annoying xD

Oh. This change happened in January. That's just how it is now: supply drops are player owned by whoever called it.

So you can't even summon supply drops for newbies/lowibes without getting them wanted.

This is A Bad Change. As bad as the Feed the People quest reward change.

BOE/BOP loot incoming with instanced dungeons, I can feel it.

Yeahhhhhhhh I don't think your bounty/wanted drops off :<

Whelp gonna see how far I can go xD

Turns out if you go to the middle of nowhere no one tries to fast travel and hunt you down for 10 caps xD

Considering it tbh.

I have 8 plasma grenades fuck you, whoever ends up killing me.

I think I'm being ignored because there's a dedicated group farming queen on this server.

Almost out of psycho. I can't even try buying it off players with wanted.

This is gonna be interesting.

"Look in Camp Venture."

This character has not been there yet and no map marker.

WHELP xD

Oh a marker showed up. That took... a while xD

Feels meta but my odds of survival are probably better on the weekdays.

Gonna keep going till I'm tired. No one's bothered me for the last hour and a half so, just trucking along the main questline.

The tiny chinck chinck sound of reloading the lever action is nice.

gimme dat psycho

There is an insect wing buzzing sound near me but I can't find it and it is making me so anxious.

I don't know why there's so much psycho in an asylum but I'll take it.

This place had like 8 psycho total. Keep me going for a while xD

I never completed basic training on this character ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

I coulda sworn I did? Too many characters, forgetting who did what xD

I did basic training, I just lost my soldier certificate? Goddammit.

So it turns out if you're wanted other players can annihilate your camp with impunity :X

Oh. Actually this makes more sense regarding a mutation combo for immortality, yeah? xD

Oh no. Time to stop playing for now xD

Uhhhh so. Logged in and my wanted status and psycho addiction are gone?

Is that how that works?

Pretty sure FO4 did not have an addiction timer but okay.

So the addiction dropping is a bug. I will play as if I had the addiction, although not being able to console it in annoys me xD

And no one can agree on how long it takes wanted status to drop off. The wide range of answers suggests it is dependent on the actual cap bounty.

My camp site is good but there's no wood around me and I ran out of wood making booze.

Burning down the trees around you to make alcohol seems very human.

Also, my corn seems to respawn faster than my razorgrain. Too much corn. Razorgrain is my second bottleneck, after wood.

ONLY 8/10 SLOTS FILLED

INEFFICIENCY

Is it too much to ask for a lifesving armor and an explosive weapon? xD

Hot take: survival mode sucked out a lot of the asshats from adventure mode.

Wait, I can bypass Belly of the Beast and go straight to Bunker Buster? o_O

I wonder if this is an out-of-order thing like top of the world and abbie's bunker or an actual skip.

Hrm might have stalled out here. Can't check the painting?

NOPE IT WORKED, JUST SMASHED MY HEAD AGAINST IT xD

The last time a permadeath toon took an Enclave photo here they died like an hour later.

Let's hope this doesn't doom this run xD

Sugar Grove is also such an asshole location because of the assaultron in there. NOT A COWARD RUN, THO.

It was a robobrain this time. Interesting.

Is it better to be lucky or skilled xD

Still not really feeling these frames tbh. I should make more of an effort to try, tho? xD

It's been over an hour so she's doing better than that other dude xD

https://twitter.com/Worthless_Bums/status/1112489495348297729

Almost got gibbed by an exploding legendary gutsy. Usually you get a few seconds but he was on top of me and basically detonated right as he died o_O

Rank 2 Fireproof probably saved me there, reduced it by 30%.

My stealth level is pretty ridiculous atm, I'm walking right up to enemies.

Robots are the toughest enemies, literally in the sense of hp/armor but also they detect me way better than ghouls/scorched/biological things.

1) My sneak is so good my sneak attacks has caught up with my creatures killed, and
2) I have cooked almost as much food as creatures I have killed so I apparently wake up and cook some food and go "I will kill this many creatures today."

I'm buying psycho from the medical robot in Whitespring. That's what it's come to.

Game telling me to take a break xD

"Can I milk you now?"
"No."
"But I'm thirsty?"
"Moo. Not my problem."

If only it was explosive xD

GODDAMMIT

Oh my psycho addiction popped back. I did't see a message about getting addicted again.

Wonder if that might just be a UI issue then?

Hello, chameleon.

Original immortality combo was chameleon + unstable but I guess adding in healing factor for the trifecta xD

Still need an actual definitive endpoint to exit to Fallout 1. And figure out some kinda alternate start there...

https://twitter.com/Worthless_Bums/status/1108540677024112646

I'm not gonna say Fireproof is mandatory, but it makes scorchbeast sonic screams basically useless and protects you from your own explosives so pretty A+ in my book.

I might actually want explosive radius now? xD

HRGLLRRLRLRRL EMPATH

*Radaways.*

Randos trying to PVP with you.

Go to the survival server and get spawn camped. I'm just trying to stomp some legendaries for a quest xD

I know he's trying to chase me away because I'll spawn low levels. Meta knowledge, tho. Best for my toon to fuck off xD

Is it meta interference if i log on main and shoot him in the face.

Escape Artist doesn't seem to work?

This toon just keeps getting instigating legendary weapons. Which is great except they're all 1 stars xD

NGL collecting all that dirty water also gives me an excuse to get mutated xD

My cow ran away?

Vintage Nukashine as RNG teleporter.

I REALLY WISH ESCAPE ARTIST WORKED.

The silent running part does seem to work, but I can never go from danger to caution or caution to hidden.

Line of sight, distance, doesn't matter :|

I WAS JUST MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS.

Don't look down.

Okay, I need to start figuring out if I actually need to launch a nuke/kill SBQ to finish this or not.

Watching all these tutorials because roleplay I M M E R S I O N.

... oh.

Whelp, I have all three of chameleon, healing factor, and unstable isotope.

Now what, Bums? xD

I forget that you can get mutated from any radiation source, like even from eating food and drink that give any rads.

How'd you get your longevity?

Drank some gourd soup in an Enclave bunker.

I was gonna ask how my character would know this happened to her, but... I get the feeling she knows.

Whelp, gonna take stock of my character stats, build, and stuff before moving to FO1.

Oh boy counting locations discovered is gonna suuuuuuuuuuuuuck xD

Holy shit I just realized how terrible 2x psycho a day is gonna be in FO1/2?

I count 183 locations, but I feel like there is a strong probability I miscounted xD

I took screenshots, may need to join them and mark them off as I count xD

Why do I do this. Why am I this way.

190. So not actually that off xD
