Weapon modification is pretty cool, but I really wish that they would give you more Real Guns and let you make cobbled together improvements rather than the rusty pipe guns you get for the first twenty hours of your playthrough.

Also, when my gf was watching me play last night: "What is that thing called? Yao guai? Oh, 'Monster' (fight happens) JESUS I can see why!"

Those things are terrifying, especially since I tend to run into them in the middle of nowhere at night.

I've read that you can sneak up to enemy dudes in power armour and pick pocket their fusion core, which shuts down their suit. Maybe that works for Preston's power armour as well?

There are armor pieces and then there are armor sets. Sets will cover everything except for the head and are usually the worse option. On the other hand, you have the option to build things piecemeal: a jumpsuit for clothes, then individual piece on each limb and chest on top of the jumpsuit (usually your vaultsuit at start). You cannot put an armor piece over top of an armor set

Where can I find some energy weapons besides the laser musket? I'm about level 7 now, and I've done Concord and the Corvega Power Plant quests. So far nothing but pipe guns, though I did find a sweet SMG.

Do yourself a favor and just do the mainquest until you get to diamond city, and then keep doing the main quest. It isn't like New Vegas where you can just go wherever you want at your own pace.

Also get the rank 1 gun mods perk and turn a short barrel shotgun into a long barrel heavy shotgun with reflex sights. Wrecks ghoul packs in just a few shots, and everything else too.

Isn't Shi-Town from the old games in the ruins of San Francisco? It's population was descended from Chinese POWs.

Obsidian at one point said they'd like to make a game set in the Los Angeles Boneyard, right in the heartland of the NCR. Considering how bad the NCR is at managing their trade routes from raiders, you could still maintain that lawless feel.

Does Preston not know who or what the Vault Dwellers are? It always seemed like common knowledge before, but Preston only gives a cursory challenge to your character's questions. "You don't know what a loving Ghoul is? You're not from here, eh?"

Is it too much for me to expect that Shaun's kidnapping actually happened decades ago and I was frozen again before escaping. That's probably giving Bethesda too much credit.

Binary maths.

The way you store negative numbers is by putting a 1 at the beginning of the number in binary.

Nope, not exactly (for integers, anyway)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two%27s_complement

It's more like negative numbers in signed integers count down from what would be the very largest value that can be stored in an unsigned integer.

Also I really hate that there's no snap on building stuff. I cleared out an entire loving house and I want to square a new building on the foundation so that I don't have foundation sticking out, but to do that I need to line the first wall piece exactly square with the foundation or I will forever have a building that is off the foundation a hair and I'm OCD and that will give me an aneurysm

christ

If you put a wood floor over the top of the foundation it kind of works, as the floor lengths are just as long as the walls. The whole system is super glitchy, but I did manage to build my 5 story mansion on top of the gas station while the workers can live in the lovely prefabs on the ground. It's too time consuming though.

I really, really loathe this main storyline and I hope the kid is long loving dead and I accidentally got frozen for another 100 years. The further I get into the game the more I realize its not New Vegas with some baller rear end new graphics and that is making me unbelievably sad.

I'm exploring as much as possible hoping to find neat little side quests and poo poo but so far they seem to be pushing "DO THE MAIN loving STORYLINE" really hard. Disappointing because the main story sucks some hard dick and being able to Go Wherever Do Whatever from FONV was probably the best quality of the game. Also this base building garbage is horrible and whoever came up with it needs to be beaten.

I'm glad I took the perk for no companions though because goddamn the dog is awful and gets in the way constantly.

So far the game is doing some things spectacularly well and other things spectacularly Bethesda-ish.

The thing I really hate about this story line is that you have literally nothing to go on, no way of knowing when he was kidnapped, by who or even when it happened. To kick the main story off apparently you have to listen to the babbling of a literally insane woman and do what she suggests. They could have at least left some clue behind like accidentally dropped their business card for bad guys incorporated so you have something to go on.

How does happiness work for your settlements.

The laser musket is one of the coolest weapons I've seen in recent memory. It's really a genius way to essentially make a bolt-action laser gun.

Now, the whole idea of turning a crank to "charge up" a laser is a bit silly but I'll be goddamned if it doesn't feel so loving good in combat.
