I will, however, admit Bethesda's solution to "I heard this dialogue before" is fantasic, clicking through dialogue scenes and hearing my character uninterestingly go "Uh huh", "Yup", "Right", "Sure", is pretty fantastic.

Are there any 5mm rifles in this game? I have all this ammo but don't really want to cart the minigun around anymore.

Yeah I drop my minigun into a box when I ditch my power armor. Too heavy. Only practical if you build for the heavy weapon perks and strength.

When does this happen? I built up the settlement like the guy said, and as soon as I put up defenses he thanked me and that was basically it. I've also helped both Minutemen related town quests.

At some point he'll give you another quest to clear out an area (a drive-in cinema, I think) and establish a new settlement there, which includes putting up a radio tower to attract people. Consider taking it down or moving it to another place once you get a few people there, otherwise the place will soon be overflowing with more people it can support.

I only have like 3 str so I was kinda pissed off when the game handed me the junk cannon gun at the end of a string of like 20 enemies and a longass dungeon. Even dogmeat was already overloaded.

Is there a perk or something to allow you to scrap items without a workbench?

I'm a stealthy sniper kind of person, so you're not the only one. Power armour doesn't interest me in the slightest.

That definitely would have made more sense. The game is getting praised for allowing polyamory (which is obviously just Bethesda being lazy and not adding any consequences for romancing every single companion), but I think it would have been much more progressive to be able to have a couple where the woman is the fighty one.

The Male Player was established as a former Soldier. Maybe she has the same background and they met in the army?

Or maybe its CHIM.

Also is Codsworth better to adventure with than Dogmeat?

There isn't a single military spouse I have met that -doesn't- know how to shoot and maintain equipment. It's something important to one of them and it sorta just phases over the the other over time.

When I'm crafting weapons, am I not able to take parts off one weapon and put it onto another? If I have two pipe pistols, one has glow sights, another has an auto receiver, can I not take a part off one and put it on the other? Scrapping guns only gives me steel. I thought the whole gun crafting thing was like "it's worth it to pick up guns because you can use them to make your current gun better."

You fucks? What the poo poo? Dude nothing is stopping you from never even getting in any power armor in the first place.

And once you get it you can just get out and never get back in.

This is the dumbest loving thing to complain about. You never have to use power armor ever. What in the gently caress is wrong with you. It needs to go away? gently caress off.

It actually has nothing to do with minecraft and instead is because weapon crafting mods were extremely overwhelmingly popular for New Vegas.

So go gently caress yourself because gun crafting is super awesome.

You can take parts off one and put it on another, but most slots can't actually be empty so you'll have to craft the lowest level possible thing, swap it with gun A, then take the part from gun A and swap it with gun B, leaving you with a leftover basic part. The good news is you can hold on to that basic part forever and use it for future swaps.

Don't scrap them. And yes that is the whole point.

Doesn't seem that way, but hopefully I'm wrong. e: guess I was wrong.

Keep in mind that it appears your character is too stupid to put water into a kettle to make soup. Instead the character has to go find water out in the wilds despite having been smart enough to build a powered water purifier with a motorized turret guarding it.

Uh the crafting perks are loving awesome and let you make OP guns of death?

Even if you find a +2 pipe pistol off some guy, maybe you want to upgrade the scope or the stock? Maybe you find a +2 pipe pistol and then you find a long barrel serrated dagger heavy pistol and you combine the two into a +2 long barrel serrated dagger heavy pistol?

Its super good dude.

Yeah you can't just snap parts off, sadly. The solution is to make a "default" part on one you want to release, like for your glow sights, replace them with standard iron sights. You will then have a set of glow sights in your inventory. Go to your auto pistol and go to glow sights, it will say Install, instead of build.

I have 3 recruitment beacons, 13 beds, 18 water, and 15 food. Why isn't anyone else showing up to my settlement? (it has 6 people)

Codsworth is kind of funny, but he doesn't like it when you pick up random junk, and will chastise you for going through ancient lockers. He just wants you to be your pre-war self. I got kind of annoyed and traded him for the dog. Danse is a poo poo head too, but I'm in love with Piper. i hope she'll travel with me, because there's just something about her dumb bullshit newsies act that I just adore.
