Hide helmet?

[Stacker55]

anyone know of a way to hide the helmet. like 75% of the gear completely hides all the work we put into our character faces, it seems dumb to put in such a detailed creation tool then force us to cover it up

[Bansheebutt]

You're not forced to cover it up.

And in my experience, it's like 20%. As in, I've found about 10 pieces of headwear (Not counting Power Armour.) and only two of them cover the face, and they're Gas Masks, so I don't know what else I would expect.

[Soulstices]

Yea. I had to play the entire game without a helmet :(

[Stacker55]

i'm not forced to cover it up in the same way i'm not forced to equip a weapon.

i still say its closer to 75%. i dont count all the random hats and glasses that have low to no stat bonuses. maybe if you're playing on easy mode you can get away with wearing sunglasses and a fedora but i need all the survivability i can get. i just wish i could see my awesome face i put an hour into. i've literally NEVER seen it since i got my first real helmet.

guess i have to hope someone else feels the same and makes a mod

Talk about false equivalency.

A weapon deals damage, signifcantly more than you could ever do with only fists.
Most helmets offer a meager defensive advantage to only a single part of your body.

And difficulty is irrelevant because 200% enemy damage is still 200% no matter what you put on. You're still going to die in 4 shots at the most outside of Power Armour.

i dont really care bout the face. my character looks like ♥♥♥♥ anyways xD

[lol why am I here?]

its been like that since F3 and FNV and all TES games, if you want to see your face, you dont wear headgear, simple as that. its called RP.

You can find an army helmet and wear that ..it provides very good defense and doesn't cover your face..you got hard hats and mining helmets, and a bunch of other hats to wear... too

Since there's no mods for hiding armor yet(evidently rather hard to do) and nothing in game to hide it you can change the values of your own damage resist and whatnot to match the piece of armor you don't want to wear through Console Commands, use the ` key;

player.modav damageresist <amount>
player.modav energyresist <amount>
player.modav radresist <amount>
also works for a lot of other variables

Note: modav adjusts the value up or down by the specified amount, and changes are relative to the current value. For example, if your Carry Weight is 500, player.modav carryweight 150 will set it to 650 (500+150), while player.modav carryweight -150 will lower it to 350 (500-150).

Oh and if you had armor with that added a special stat use:

player.setav <stat> <amount>

It adds the amount to the stat as if you leveled, so perks would unlock with the increase

You pretty much are if you want to have as much defense as possible while being able to see the work you put into your character's face. Like OP said here:

You must play on very easy or something.(@bansheebot, not OP) I want to be able to wear say, my power armor suit while also being able to see my face, on Survival difficulty. If I took off the helmet of the suit do you have any idea how harder it'd be since I'm running a melee build?

Uh, I guess? Meager defense advantage? On my fully modded MKVI X-01 helmet I have 320 DMG resist, 240 energy resist, 150 rad resist. Sure sounds meager to me! And no, have you heard of full combat armor? I seriously doubt you'd die in four shots wearing that, depending on what enemy you're facing.

Or you could have the same bonuses while seeing your face like every single one of those games you listed have a mod for. Which, you'd think Bethesda would ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pick up on and just put it in the game themselves. MMORPGs have an option built in most of the time, why can't Fallout 4?

is this child really wanting this game to be some stupid mmo or what ever.... get the f off dude. if dont like the game leave... or just keep your helmet off

How is he a child for wanting to see the character's face that he worked on at the very beginning of the game? Where in his two posts did he say "WOW ♥♥♥♥ THIS GAME I DON'T LIKE IT"? He simply wanted a solution for this flaw of the game.


Seven days late but I don't care. This thread is full of pricks being an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to OP for invalid reasons.

take armour off, wear cloth, lower difficulty, sorted lol. at least thats what i've done. I find its pretty balanced.

Yeah, according to the Nexus forums it sounds simple but it isn't, lol. This sounds like a decent idea though. Might do it, thanks!

I play on normal and run around in a sequin dress with glasses. I don't really feel forced and I'm already level 28

Some people like a challenge with their good looks, I guess that's all I can say.

then don't lower the difficulty?
Wearing clothes ceates a challenge by itself, i was just mentioning how to reduce it, that was the whole point lol
