Do You Listen to Outside Music While Playing Fallout 4?

[WC4L420]

I usually listen to Tool in my survival game while I walk around. But in Far Harbor, I find the "Swamp Song" is just perfect to listen to the entire time there.


Anyway anyone else listening to music while they play? And what are you listening to?



I felt like posting the lyrics to show what i meant about it working good. And yes I know the song is about getting in someones head. But that's only if you think about it too much. :)
My warning meant nothing.
You're dancing in quicksand.
Why don't you watch where you're wandering?
Why don't you watch where you're stumbling?
You're wading knee deep and going in.
And you may never come back again.

This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a stupid, belligerent ♥♥♥♥♥♥.
This bog is thick and easy to get lost in
'Cause you're a dumbass, belligerent ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

I hope it sucks
I hope it sucks
I hope it sucks you ♥♥♥♥♥♥
I hope it sucks
I hope it sucks
I hope it sucks you down

Wander in and wandering.
No one even invited you.
And you still stumble and suffocate, suffocate
Why don't you care!?

Wandering around got you in.
No one even invited you.
And you still stumble and suffocate, suffocate
Why don't you get out while you can?

Listening to anything other than music from 1930-1960 is completely unacceptable when playing fallout.

You gotta remember, the year was 2077 when the bombs fell. So any music made between the 40's and then is acceptable to listen to. :)

After all it's plausable, bands that existed after the 40's in our timeline, could have happened in Fallout's timeline.

Plenty of Miracle of Sound!

usually local NPR on the radio behind me, classical to replace the missing in-game classical radio.

if DC Radio actually progressed through it's song list like it's supposed to, I'd probably listen to it for a while. It short-lists itself and burns me out on the same 5-6 songs.

Old world radio boston mod..if you dont know...then your missing out. that is all

[Haunt Fox]

There's a pesronal radio mod out (PipPod) that lets you play up to 40 of your own songs. Or so it claims, I seem to get shortlisted about halfway through (but it has versions where you can just have 10 or 20, I think.) It's a good addition with the Old World Radio and More Where That Came From, especially since there's no country-western stations (I like bluegrass ..and calypso.)

And while the music I pick is ... a little more recent than the 50s stuff, I did more or less try to keep with the theme (Rush's "The Body Electric", for instance.) Or this 70s gem that at least talks about the older rocknroll:

2077 is when the bombs fell but the game still has a 1950's theme, why bethesda did this I still don't get.

I think the original authors did it, and well, if you lived through the Cold War, watched the movies and read the comic books, well, you'd see that this is what Fallout is pretty much based on (hence the comic-booky mutants and ghouls, and giant rad-monsters - straight out of B movies and comics.) Hence why the clothes are about 100 years out of style, too. :)

This sounds like something I should try tonight.

I think the art style is called retro futuristic if I'm not mistaken. I believe Retro was attempting to make a comeback in the 90's but fell short with the Grundge wave sweeping over the world at that time. Or at least the U.S., not sure if the rest of the world became grundge fans.

Heh, when I see the word "retro" nowadays, it usually seems to be applied to the "second Brit invasion/New Wave" stuff I listened to as a teen in the 1980s .....

Because instead of progressing through military development as we did in the real world, there was pretty much global peace, so opposed to military development, they pretty much produced just for civilians. Up until the resource war, when war broke out again. Except due to nuclear power sources for everything, technology progressed much faster as there weren't limits on power storage. If we tried to replicate FO power armor, we wouldn't have a powerful enough battery. It would die too quickly, opposed to the hundred year fusion reactor built in to the in game power armor.

I always hear the word "Retro" being used for old games.
For me though, I just call old games, the dark ages.

Don't get me wrong I loved me some Sega Game Gear growing up. And I owned an NES, Super NES and an old grey gameboy. (which is still have the gameboy actually XD) I just moved on to the games we have today. The Dark Ages still exist on my laptop though.

Lol I actually listen to diamond city radio or nothing when I am playing fallout 4

Swamp song has actually been in my real life screaming at the clams sound track for nearly 20 years now. Clam harvesting is long boring repetetive work in constant mild pain. It helps me to go into a sort of meditation an scream/speak different songs while I work. Swamp Song ,Sweat, Undertow are probably the longest running songs in my head.
