It’s kind of amazing how quickly #ExtremeSurvivalMode turns into a wantonly absurd and absurdly wanton #TotalExterminationProtocol

Either I need more challenge or more nuclear fire, can’t decide which

Would you look at the size of this Behemoth???

It’s marauding the road to Vault 81 next to Chestnut Hillock Reservoir

Holy frikkin’ ginormous Deathclaw Matriarch. Didn’t want to risk running away, so had to sneak past it, in power armour. Only possible because of the deafening roar of the rainstorm.

Northeast of the Lexington ruins, between the Red Rocket station and Mystic Pines.

#ExtremeSurvivalMode is far more gruesome than your average “Saturday-Morning” Fallout game

#aSWCreatureMadness includes that brutal laser and plasma weapon gore mod, as seen below while rescuing the Quincy 5 from Raiders in Concord… which no longer feels particularly heroic

Here are some screenshots from my new #ExtremeSurvivalMode playthrough, just to show you how pretty it is compared to the vanilla AE

That #SimSettlements2 #CinematicMode theme sure is heavy-handed

Except at the Castle, where it’s exactly the right amount of epic

#Fallout4 #AnniversaryEdition #SurvivalMode is only very-slightly less annoying than #VanillaSurvivalMode

I mean. I’ve made it as far as Level 64, fully aligned to #BrotherhoodOfSteel before the jaw-clenching tedium has forced me to downgrade and revert to #AStoryWealth #aSWSurvival

It really is just a better survival experience, with all the bells and whistles

I suppose a vanilla #Fallout4 #SurvivalMode playthrough as a palate cleanser after #AStoryWealth was ill-advised

Once you go full #aSWSurvival there’s no going back

One thing I’m really not enjoying about the #SimSettlements2 “going to war” questline is how captive settlers, allies, and even your own soldiers keep turning hostile on you (probably because of script-lag)

It keeps causing some serious, game breaking glitch-outs, such as the inevitable consequences of your posse of followers mercilessly executing the captive settlers you just liberated from the Gunners

*Captain-Picard Facepalm*

The #SimSettlements2 questline is really involved. It felt like seizing GNN HQ from the Gunners was an end-run. But my god, that was only the beginning.

Okay, I take that back. I thought this was going to be another #ScorchbeastQueen, but while the #MirelurkGodqueenDeathkillerSupreme was very much a #Fallout76 style bullet-sponge, it wasn’t in fact impossible to kill

Overall, I appreciate how #SimSettlements2 motivates rebuilding the Commonwealth through an improved Main Questline…

However!

I wish the questline would take into account that I’ve already rampaged my way through Gunner’s Plaza WITHOUT an army. And it would also be nice if the questline factored in the whole Depravity/Outcasts-and-Remnants/Project-Valkyrie/Reformed-Institute questlines that somehow remove the Brotherhood of Steel and Institute from potential allies to recruit for the assault.

Still. I’m finally going in with the Minutemen and the Railroad. Oh yeah. And a hefty supply of Deathclaw Relay Grenades.

The Gunners are so screwed. Muah-ah-ah-ah-ahhhhhhhh.
