Just so you know, napalm burns under water. So it is conceivable for fire to persist if you jump in water after being hit by a flamer.

[@ryanconner3659]

This was also my first thought. Also "cars are bulletproof"... yeah okay.

[@kingofhearts3185]

The game seems to use gas powered flamethrowers given the range and appearance of the vanilla flamer.

[@BloxYourSelf]

same with oil, like bruh

[@deeznutz862]

@@kingofhearts3185 The flamer upgrades literally referance napalm. It's not the same with oil, oil will float to the surface and burn on the surface. Napalm has oxidizer, that's why it can burn under water. Stock may use gasoline or natural gas which will not burn under water.

[@SkrimpKing]

@@BloxYourSelf except flamers and molotov cocktails in Fallout don't use oil...it's much more believable to jump in water to put out a fire in game than to not be able to.

[@sweetmcnasty]

Graf's Security Fences is a great mod. It cmes with two different angles for sloped fence pieces. Sometimes it's tricky to get the fence pieces to snap but they eventually do. Much better than than FO76 fence with more variety.

[@indecisivewolf5620]

I passed by that sitting mod on the Nexus but now I realize it's something I absolutely need.

[@SifuSonic]

I couldn't imagine building settlements w/out Graf's Security Fences- I've had since day released. Perfect vid for it also (immersion)-a MUST HAVE

[@hughmoore3251]

👍 9:54 - One of my favorite animations in the game is an enemy trying to "shake off" a headshot. Kind of like how a dog shakes off water. It's hilarious to me.

[@freeasabird30]

Well, if you have some armor on your head and it actually stopped the bullet, it would feel like you just got punched in the head so yeah, i'd be a tad dizzy after such an event, as taking a bullet to the head and living, i would have to shake my head to.

[@wallmarkberg9289]

10:27 Also to note: Super Mutants, Synths and Ghouls are also affected by this mod

[@jackpitman15]

I feel like to a degree synths should tank more damage since their skulls are made of metal maybe you could argue for super mutants but their heads are pretty small in fallout 4 so their probably weaker in general to headshots too

[@pisto308]

"You have become addicted to immersion mods"

[@-Belshazzar-]

As a combat medic (irl) I can tell you the last thing you want to do if you are on a fire is jump into water. The chemical reaction will make your burns more severe. The best way is to suffocate the fire using a blanket (non flamable one!!!) or rolling in sand or on the ground. Just so you know. Would be cool if someone made a mod where you can roll on the ground to put out the fire if you are on fire. Thanks for the video btw

[@Quantum_Noir]

I really like the mod "Talk Like Arine" makes you look just like Arnold Schwarzenegger You're really buff!, You sound like him, you even say his lines, it's really fun talking to someone thinking your a synth and you say the line from Terminator, "I Am a Cybernetic Organism, Living Tissue Over Endoskeleton" I've said to everyone I come across and it's so funny for some reason, love your videos btw dude

[@HattaTHEZulZILLA86]

I LOVE using the rifles in the Rifles Rebirth mod...

[@upstant2304]

[@echos5823]

Good to see people are making immersion mods without making the game punishing and more difficukt

[@All-Fur-Coat_No-Trousers]

I'm with you man- immersion is essential to the Fallout experience. Whatever we can do to flesh out the fantasy and make it more convincing serves to heighten the role play. Lore is a bit more flexible when it comes to modding imo, but it's still a consideration.

[@darkman4747]

There is a mod that makes molotovs and flamethrowers set people on fire fore more time, so the Water setting off fire mod could be useful

[@Tangomango1720]

Been loving maim + scourge for immersion

[@Stormpriest]

Maim fixes the headshot issue in that it makes headshots lethal especially for an helmeted characters or NPCs

[@Stormpriest]

Unhelmeted, sorry I was using voice to text and it screwed up again

[@d.l.hemmingway3758]

Thanks DD for these mod reviews. I am looking to improve upon my vinilla game and spice it up some.

[@GamePassHolic]

Hey Dak just wanted to say thanks for the mods and all the YT content. I'm patiently awaiting your Halo inspired Mauler mod. You showcased it on your to-do list awhile back and and it looked so good. Hope you find time to work on it soon :) Much love.

I wish I knew mod stuff. I want to a mod that basically turns FO4 into a nice mix of exploration and Tower Defense. Your settlements get attacked you gotta have the defenses for it and the world is just an open sandbox with NPCs that give radiant quests for decent rewards. Just a nice zen loop of building, looting, shooting

[@mikeburgess1688]

I seem to remember a mod in the creation workshop that had to where you could make waves of enemies attack your settlement. I never got it to try out, but maybe that might help with what you are describing?

The Security Fences mod looks pretty good.

[@thebigsucc030]

Ur a great KZbinr and I love these themed mod bundles but a video idea would be different load orders for Xbox and pc surrounding different themes such as immersion like this video or like a load order surrounding the desperados overhaul or the snowy landscape mod

[@Dafunco]

Hey, for damage and dificulty I recomend ranger mode, is a simple mod but it tweaks fallout 4 to have almost the same gameplay as a shooter, mutant enemies are hard to kill and human ones depend on the weapon and ammo tipe

[@ghosthero0806]

one thing that i've used ever since i found it, is the Real Time Cover Penetration Framework with 50 BMG cover penetration. in real life, even a .22 can punch a hole through a 2x4, so it makes no sense that an enemy hiding behind the wimpiest piece of cover you've ever seen is completely protected from bullets. now i just pull out a .50 and their cover goes byebye.

[@kadindarklord]

What I look for, more than other things. Are gun mods that are integrated into Level Lists. I don't want a Mod that puts a gun in a specific place and I just have to go and get it (or worse, makes it something you have to craft at the Chem Station.) I have added a fair few. Not for my use, but just to have some weapon variety in the world.

[@jaildawg1971]

the security fence mod would really sweeten things up playing FO4 in 2022

[@whydontyouwork]

Awesome video, most people just think about graphics mods.

[@richard6907]

I know you've done a vid of M.A.I.M recently Dak but I thought I'd give it a mention in case anyone hasn't watched your vid yet but would suggest it for anyone looking for a challenge even when up against low level enemies if they have a gun then there is a chance they'll headshot you if you have no helm then you're done out here!.. and vice Versa...pair this with a NPC less accuracy mod and less guns and loot mod and it makes for intense gun exchanges.

[@JustDevon1]

[@NotKenBlock94]

Does anyone have a good replacement for Tactical Tablet since it got removed from Nexus?

[@jeffsteve5626]

Is there a good mod that would overhaul health of creatures? Like remove health leveling and make all creatures (including player) take effect from endurance instead of level?

[@Alteroxx954]

Bursting through the door with a shotgun is definitely a thing i'm gonna aim to do now lol

[@SynthLizard8]

6:12 It always bothered me a bit that nobody converted the cars to at least be wagons of some kind or at least be motorized or Brahmin powered. I know that Brahmin karts from half a vehicle was a think in Fallout 1 and 2 but from then on it was soley Brahmins that were used for caravans.

[@tigrecito48]

7:24 some fire will persist in real life under water if its a chemical fire.. although a gasoline fire from a molotov or flame thrower should go out.. but... that oil would be on ur clothes and on the surface of the water so if you leave at the same point you entered you might reignite.. if you want actual realism

I rarely catch fire with a body of water near me, and most of the time the flamethrowers kill me instantly for some weird reason, but I think I need the remote posibilty to save myself by jumping into a river.

[@DegenerateDak]

Tbh it’s very rare that this mod will save you, but it’s nice to have the option lmao

[@unused0011]

Love mods like this

[@MauMenzori]

Realistic mods are also my favourites. I wonder if anyone will ever recreate my favourite survival mod from Skyrim in Fallout: Campsites + Winter (I can't remember the exact names), but it was one where you'd freeze to death whenever you travelled north after walking too long. You'd have to build a camp site, and warm up inside the tent. Alright, I know we already have a campsite mod here in F4, but its not the same vibe... you don't need to go out and collect branches or coal to start a fire, for example. AND we don't have frozen zones in the Commonwealth, but still... with proper ENBs, one could turn it into a Metro wasteland and benefit from using a survival mod like that.

[@manuelurquiza7546]

I mean, the realistic headshots makes the game 100x easier and it makes sense to me, but is also good to compensate and apply the same things to your character in that case

[@GRY2048]

I think there is a way to apply the Water Puts Out Fires using Spell Perk Item Distributor. But i don't know if it supports adding stuff to the player character.

[@julianlopez5490]

What face mask mod is that at 10:05?

[@littledragon4792]

Speaking of realism, I think there is a mod that adds magazines for pistols and (some?) rifles. I would like to see you display/review such a mod, or even such mods (plural), if there are several that deals with that subject. I think you have already spoken about a mod that adds logical reload of revolvers/shotguns that still have bullets/cartridges left, right? To me, carrying around a thousand loose bullets in a (magical?) backpack, and just cock the gun to instantly reload 5+ bullets is a bit immersion breaking, though it's been standard for FPS-games. It made my inner immersion nerd happy when I found mods for Project Zomboid that added magazines, (storeshelf) boxes for bullets, and even speedloaders for revolvers. Suddenly I had to prepare more, and carefully consider whether to swap a half empty magazine to a full, or hope I would get the time when it was empty. It also added a fun conundrum, as you may find an empty gun, or a magazine for a gun you don't have.

[@sneakyreads]

What is the pistol mod?

[@Knightofcalamity]

What’s that insect animation on the start of the video where the big stabbed him

[@Rigel_Chiokis]

If a fire weapon is using napalm, jumping into water won't put the fire out. Napalm has it's own built in oxygen source. Even fire fighting foam won't extinguish napalm. :)

[@TheSpectacledSteve]

May I ask what is the sniper rifle mod on your thumbnail and also at the beginning of the video?

[@tings.]

Very late comment but do the destruction objects from splinters cause fps drops? Reminds me of rust, sometimes when raiding all the walls falling apart acn cause pretty bad lag, idk how the engine would handle it in this case though

[@tylerhodgkins2034]

Could you do a mod list order that puts all the immersion and realistic mods into one load order please i have been dealing with making my game crash on my xbox trying to make Fallout as immersive and realistic as possible.

[@crimsonrunner01]

Day 2 of asking dak to review return of the classics power armor mods

[@ForWeAreMany]

Also, if i am correct, you can also use landmines placed in front of doors and shoot them to effectively use them as breaching charges, if Splinterz mod works the way I think

[@domenikrodrigez3646]

And also grenades can destroy doors, but sometimes behind destroyed doors we can see bright white light and some other graphic bugs.

[@natefalcun743]

What pistol do you use for the headshot mod. The one handed animations are really clean. It looks like 1911 but which one?

[@zesherm]

Can I askwhich weapon you are carrying, specifically the one with the diamond City logo

[@falloutdetroit8884]

weapon at 3:18 Dak?

[@tigrecito48]

3:14 one thing i really hate about fallout 4 is how there are tons of seats everywhere and water everywhere and you keep accidentally drinking dirty water by accident & sitting down by accident.. i guess i could change the letter on the keyboard that allows sitting? i just find it odd that the devs set drink dirty water on the ground and sit on chairs as the exact same key and all the other stuff you do like loot bodies, fire weapons, open doors etc.. 2 things that are really slow animations and you will almost never want to do, but that could get you killed and ur gonna often be accidentally clicking them.. the mind boggles how no one in bethesda didnt test this and think "is this gonna be annoying?"

[@chicopjota]

what happens like if the holstered weapon mod does not appear to work, do you reinstall or backup/paste the .ini file then just reload?

[@JTL1776]

@DAK. PLEASE make a modlist just adding all the lore friendly. realism and immersion mods you've already reviewed into a nexus collection.

Hmmm I’ll look into that

[@Nosirrah2112]

The biggest immersion boost i found was the damage mod. You crank up the damage going both ways so a few rounds of 7.62 actually can kill you or the enemies. It makes it much more realistic for urban combat.

6:16 “it’s bullet proof” uh Dak, I don’t wanna sound like an ass but you and me must be shooting different kinds of cars, cuz I shoot through scrapped cars in the same kinda shape that’s in game all the time at my local range. Maybe like a .22 won’t pierce? But like any rifle from .223 on up is goin right through that thing unless u hit an engine block. And with some calibers that ain’t even enough

[@trainershade1937]

I mean, when it comes to the bullet sponge issue: it shouldn't take as many shots as it does in general to kill most unarmored targets, regardless of if it's to the head. Though a mod that implements realistic damage would have to be a proper overhaul. It's much simpler just heavily modifying the incoming and outgoing damage multipliers. Along with getting a mod that makes legendary enemies a bit less stupid (namely, the fact that them mutating seems to multiply their damage output by 2 or something).

[@jasonmorrow3204]

What mod do you use for the added Gunner classes?

2:35 if you have the breakable doors mod can enemies also break doors? it would be kinda cool for enemies to be able to break defensive walls & doors like 7 days to die cos fallout 4 ur pretty much 100% safe.. just wall everything off and a ton of turrets at the entrance.. ur immune

Ofc, unless u disable the headshot module in MCM for MAIM, then if u want 1 shot HS and have MAIM in your load order, why u bother waste an esp for that realistic hs mod then instead of using the same feature in MAIM 2 that is more up -to -date and overall better, since it also apply to you + u get the helmet reduce damage feature, and no patch needed.
