How do you tell if it is a male Brahmin or a female Brahmin? Strong is always asking for 'Milk of human kindness'. I have plenty of empty milk bottles but don't want to try milking the wrong Brahmin.

As an avid user of mods, Im used to updates and patches breaking the game for me.  All par for the course.
 
But what was the whole point of the patch yesterday?   Save to exit or some such.  Whatever.  
 
Hopefully the new version of F4SE is up today and I can get back out there and maybe finish this game before Christmas.

I haven't a clue but it didn't break anything for me.

I haven't a clue but it didn't break anything for me.

Vanilla games didn't get broken.  Just those of us running mods that require F4SE.  It's all good now.  Usually Im at work when all of this happens and the fixes are posted up by the time I get home.  

And they changed it for the Survival peeps so you can exit to save or something like that.   

I'm not a heavy modder. I only have two mods installed. One gave me a few quests in new areas added to the map and rewarded me with some 'Rogunz' pistol and the other gave me a Mini Nuke Minigun.

Mini nuke minigun?     The original doesn't do enough damage for you!?  
 
I came across that mod again the other day, so I spent a moment just looking at the screen graphic shaking my head.  

It's just a tad bit on the overkill side of things. I bought the Big Boy Legendary Mini Nuke Launcher from the merchant in Diamond City that launches two Mini Nukes at the same time. That is plenty for almost every enemy on the map. I just got the Minigun mod for shock value. It does take a whille to 'spin up'.

In the Bethesda Fallout games I don't use the miniguns that much.  I think just because of their bulk and that "spin up" they need.  Same with the Fat Boy.  I think I gave up on that weapon because I had a tendency to blow myself up as well.  
 
In the first two (three) I used them all the time.  I especially liked it when you could catch the guys lined up.  Target the guy at the very back and hit the fire button.  

I'd like to get that Legendary Explosive Minigun but it is hard to find. The ammo for the Minigun is plentiful which is one of the few appealing things about them for me. They're really not accurate at all and the spinup time is ridiculous. I have a Gatling Laser with awesome damage abilities but it too is hampered with a stupid way too long time to spin up.

Yeah, the explosive mini gu is my go-to. You can air juggle people and launch them way in the sky. You just have to be cautious in close quarters as the explosions can do damage to yourself. I left Fo4 installed and will await Nuka world. Until then, I started Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. I miss the RPG elements and the story is so confusing but I'm still having fun.
