Yeah you get exactly one fusion core for the PA when you first get it and mine ran out before the sequence at the police station was even through

I found two i think, can't exactly recall, in Lexington area. One was in the super market and the other in that giant chemical place with raiders.

I haven't gotten very far yet. How do I refill the health of Power Armor bits? Because my Power Armor lost a few bits in the tutorial Deathclaw fight and I'd like to put them back. I don't see them in the Armor Workshop. Should I just scrap 'em and build a cool post-apocalyptic bong out of them?

Also: This has probably been posted, but here's a good INI tweak guide. I turned off the intro video and adjusted the FOV to be a little nicer, and it worked out pretty well!

I was going to laugh at “tutorial deathclaw fight” but Skyrim had a tutorial dragon fight so I guess it was a given

Exit your suit by a power armour station (yellow frame thingy - there's one in the garage at the Red Rocket gas station) and then interact with it. It'll bring up an interface where you can repair and mod the various armour parts.

There's also one in the downstairs part of the Museum of Freedom (where you get the armor) behind a locked gate you can open either by picking or the terminal where you save the Minutement.

Sorry, but dog armor doesn't have stats, it's just cosmetic.

Companions are immortal and heal up after a fight so just don't stim them unless you have to

He goes to a doghouse. Sucks, but you gotta look for him. I ended up demolishing the doghouse I found him in at Sanctuary and building one next to my base.

I don't understand the complaints about this game. As soon as you get to the part with the molerats it's clear that everything is on a whole new level.

My god they put no effort into the writing or the voice acting. It's just awful, this dialogue is so bland. None of your responses have even the slightest bit of character to them. If they didn't want to put any effort in they should have just gone balls to the wall here's a drunk couple from Boston we found at a Red Sox game we pay them in beer and they are our only voice actors. At least they would have put some emotion into the lines.

If you're constantly running low on adhesive for crafting, this amzing tip was posted at NeoGAF. I can't believe I never noticed before that the vegetable starch you can make at cooking stations was an adhesive.

Game is pretty good, if you like this type of game. If you expected anything else than what you get here, you must not be familiar with Bethesda and I'm sorry.

Speech checks still seem to be semirandom which sucks because it just incentivizes quickloading until you get it. I liked the New Vegas system where it showed you the number and how far you were from it so it so you could weigh your booster consumption, no probabilities involved.

The house building stuff is really cool but there's a bug with a fair few items like bottles and antique globes and so on where if you stand them up and travel away and then come back the items clip halfway through the surface they're on and that makes me very sad :(

They made the feral ghouls scary and strong too. Maybe I just suck but I'm dying a lot on normal and loving it.

Regarding the male VA, I don't think it's necessarily his fault, as there are times (few and far between) when he sounds alright. I particularly liked the cadence with which he says "I'll find who did this . . ." when you open your wife's pod, which sounds really loving ominous in a "I'm going to psycho murder a lot of people" kind of way. But then the dude gets out of the vault and immediately turns into a meek, whimpering little pissant who can barely form questions without sounding like he's about to cry. I think he's just been badly directed.

Two questions: Am I just not seeing it, or is there no way to see what my current weight is and what an items weight is when looting? I'd like to know that before picking everything up like a vacuum.

Also, is there any way (other than altering the .ini) to set the deadzone on the controller in game? It's making lockpicking way more difficult than it needs to be.

There's also one hidden in a cave under the first Red Rocket (you gotta go down the road some and then turn around). You'll eat a bunch of rads trying to get at it though so be careful. Maybe cook up that roach meat you've been holding onto and eat one before you grab the core (it'll be pretty obvious)

Yeah, Sarcasm in this game ranges from purple-Hawke to 'spitting in the face of a man with a minigun and power armor'.
