Glad to see you're still enjoying it wolf. I recently started playing again myself. Still using one of the ReShade presets you pointed out. :)

Aye - its a fun change from Skyrim for me. I have done a pure melee and a mixed melee/shooter so far. Debating a more intellectual sniper (pure gun overall) type next with more focus on crafting.

Aye still playing - just started my third play through. Same character although different focus. First play through was my more or less vanilla and "get to know the game" one. The second was meant to be my canon game (for use with DLC and expansions) but since I was itching to play again, and wasn't sure about my choice with BOS, decided I would do one more - timed to be a decent level when expansion comes out next week.

All shots are recent as I work on setting up mods and my ReShade/ENB preset.

You just like to break my computer, don't you? :D

You really are very good at this. Did you study photography or something?

@Jaz: Lol sorry Jaz and thanks :)

@Ripper: Thanks - just practice and following by example. I made a few friends who have a back ground in the arts and/or photography, while learning how to make presets in SweetFX, ReShade, and/or ENB for Skyrim and FO, and they take some phenomenal images. They gave me a few tips and I try to follow some of their ideas but I lack their visual eye.

So I mainly just do casual stuff while playing. Over time you do pick up some skill and finding the right angles or field of view or perspective in making shots. My only real talent is visual organization - I am pretty good at say moving furniture and objects around visually in my head to come up with ways to say set up an office or living room or the like. In game this translates to being able to see an image and rotate it around in my head and somewhat get ideas on what might make a shot look good.

I use just a few core console commands - TFC 0 (unlocks camera from character but leaves game running, TFC 1 (unlocks camer and freezes game), SGTM .1 to 1 (changes game time speed with .1 being slowest and 1 being normal), and FOV (field of view). Less often will use TC (take control of NPC to move them) and TAI (disable AI).

Just one example I might have a character doing an animation (like running) and I will set the game time to .1 so they are moving in super slow motion. Use TFC 0 to unlock camera but keep game going - so will circle around with camera looking for a good position as the character is running in slow motion. Then use TFC 1 to freeze the game so I can then get a good angle and FOV with the camera.

Story shots I will get a lot more elaborate (with poses and such) but many I just do a single TFC 1 and take the shot pretty much as is. Just easier if you lock the game first and rotate the camera to a good angle.

This page takes forever to load. ;)

Still love it. :)

Guess that would be my fault :p :-)

Fuuuuuuuuuuu. This thread makes me want to buy Fallout 4 just to play dress up every time I come looking at the screens.

edit:
GMG had 33%+20% off on it and I caved in… I'm now an owner of Fallout 4 and into the backlog it goes.

A few more randoms including a female character. A friend of mine in Germany is playing it now and he has done some cool settlement building, especially the Castle. I wanted to see what it looked like so he sent me a copy of his save game and I loaded it up and took a bunch of shots for him. Was rather fun loading up his game on my PC and seeing how it looked since he was playing vanilla and I have a variety of texture mods - yep he did all this building with vanilla.

So first shots from his game:

Cool. I wonder how your friend restored the castle walls?

I will ask him as it was vanilla game play. I think from the size thickness possibly built up walls around them? His character had top intelligence and all the science perks and building stuff - not sure if there is something you can make that would cover the or fix the walls.

Got an answer for you Thrasher:

Cool. I wonder how he laid the foundations over the embankments with clipping.

Not sure. I don't do much building as I use arrow keys for moving - so unless I install F4SE and a key mapping mod or remap to WASD whenever I want to make settlements - I can't move while in workshop mode (except for auto run/walk).

Your pics are absolutely beautiful, Wolf.

My son was so enamored with your pics that he begged me to allow him to play FO4 ^^.

Heh sorry about that :) I mainly share shots to share my enjoyment but also to show what can be done with the game using mods and post-graphic processing like ENB or ReShade. All my shots are always done 100% in-game and never edited in any way (beyond changing size when they are uploaded to Flickr).

Does take some time and effort though. Lots of time finding the right mods and graphic preset to use but that is part of the fun for me. Most shots I take while playing the game. If I see a good shot or place for some I might pause for a bit to play with the DOF, FOV, and unlock the camera but otherwise its the way my game looks. I took a couple of short videos as well although they are just super short examples as I was trying to see if I could get FRAPS to make a decent video or not. They get really downgraded in quality on Youtube so I decided to not make anymore (at least not until I can figure out to get somewhat better quality).

And no need to be sorry … I finally allowed him to play as he's growing up fast and I know he's able to cope with topics and presentation.

Crazy beautiful images, like always. I need to take a look at these ENB settings and whatever mods you have installed (i saw them on a previous page). Still didn't play the game apart from the intro and a bit in that first town you arrive in.. I try to stay away for as long as i can to let the modding community thrive and make great stuff for the Ultimate Experience(tm) ;)

Do you enjoy it more than Skyrim, or is it about the same?

Thanks Vurt. I think I have about 93 plug-ins right now and maybe 150 mods total. Small compared to many. Mostly immersive style mods and lots of textures and such to make the game and characters look nice - as I like great visuals while still keeping true to the aesthetics of the game.

I am on my 5th play through and about to start a 6th once I work out the details in my head. I would say that when you balance out all the pros/cons for FO4 and Skyrim I like both about the same.

Skyrim gets a massive plus for being fantasy and vikings/Norse related - two big favorites of mine. Its main negative, for me, is companions are just rather lame and shallow.

FO4's main pros for me are the better companions (especially Dogmeat) and the better graphic effects especially rain and god-rays. It's main negative, for me, is that it isn't high-fantasy setting.

I prefer exploring more in Skyrim as I like nature and scenery better. But I much prefer the combat in FO4. In Skyrim I never played harder than normal simply because the combat didn't interest me too much - at least not once I got up in levels. I enjoyed the early levels of stealth play but never really got into the combat as a main factor.

In FO4 I play on survival mode and use mods to lower experience gain and make things a bit harder. Really like the combat challenge. I also like exploring but not like I did in Skyrim. I am more focused on quests, companions, settlers, and combat in FO4. Skyrim is more of an escape into a fantasy theme park. Granted its been 6 years almost now and the first few years I was more into combat, quests, and all that so I have to try and balance my feelings towards it now and what it was like 4 years ago.

Anyhow this got long enough. Lets just say I like both games a lot and they are two of my highest ranking personal favorites.

Interesting to hear your comparison! That settler-thingy, is that any fun?

I also prefer fantasy, it's my favorite genre, though it's also a bit dependent on mood, for example i absolutely love STALKER and the atmosphere in that game, i don't think either new vegas or FO3 were as good.. might do some tree mod for FO4 just like i did for the other FO's, to make it more STALKER'ish..

The settler aspect is one I enjoy but not like other people do. A whole Sim-Settler community of people has risen up with mods and things. I like them as just part of the base game. I have a couple of simple mods that adds more variety to the settlers looks (Better Settlers Mod where I use the basic install options) and two small mods that add bathrooms and kitchen stuff that fit the them plus a shack mod that just adds some extra options to shack building - again all fits in with the game. But I don't go gung-ho on settlements. Rather hard to on survival mode with less carry weight for junk and no fast travel anyhow. So I enjoy it but only within the basic idea of helping settlers get their basic needs met and building up a few things.

I do like building up my own home, usually at Red Rocket, but while I will put hours into making a nice home my goal is to always make sure it fits into the world. No high rise mansions with swimming pool, Jacuzzi, and modern furniture :)
