Not too stupid
Is there any way to turn bloom(or whatever this is called) off on PC? The green crap around the aimpoint on sights makes it impossible to see anything at night.

Well I can see everything, just not the drat thing under my bright rear end green sight.

Do the quest a tiny person gives you in that location that requires you to leave that location. When you've come back to turn in that quest, go to a place of healing in that location.

Go visit it again, and make sure to talk to everyone. If nothing happens, make sure to do any outstanding quests there. There is absolutely something that does happen. Don't unlock the terminal yet.

Yeah I got that drop too. Saves my rear end cause my dudes not really build for fighting and Piper aint much help, even with an "enraging" laser rifle.

Anyone know what happens when you max out a companions affection? Aside from being able to romance them, do you get a quest from them?

Asked this in the other thread but I'll put it here too I guess:

I just did the quest Human Error on my good guy character, and I'm not sure I did the right thing. I sweet-talked my way into a meeting with the doctor, and I refused her offer and killed her. I figure this is the good ending, until I go back to Covenant and all the PTSD-addled citizens attack me and I have to kill them all. Am I overthinking things, or did I mess up and take the eviler of the two sides here?

The only reason I question it is that the people in Covenant seem innocent, they were tortured, found out to be human, and sent to this place to rehab.

From what I understand, you can give armor and poo poo to companions and they should wear it. I tried to give armor to dudes in the starting town (Im still early in the game) and nobody will wear anything. I gave them all pistols and ammo and they seem to have equipped them just fine though. Is there anything I should put on these dudes? Also, I noticed you can trade with codsworth, but he's got nothing to offer. Would he benefit if I gave him anything? I'm not going to use him as a companion. Speaking of companions: I'm using Dogmeat. I've tried to put things in his inventory to get him to wear poo poo, but I havent found any kind of armor for dogs yet. I noticed he wont wear a harness (obviously this harness is made for BDSM raider types, not dogs... was worth a try though) and he also wont even wear a dog collar. I guess those are meant to be worn on your arm for some loving reason, and not your dog. :confused:

Once you give Dogmeat some cool stuff like Doggy Goggles or Bandannas, you have to go into his inventory and select Equip as well.

I can't tell you if you're missing anything, but I have the same bug on PC, so you're not alone. There are several search results on reddit for the same issue, but no solutions so far. I was able to turn on noclip and stop every single object in the building from falling in order to turn in the quest, but somewhere in the mix the door to the outside world disappeared, so there's no way to exit the police station. Getting on the roof and entering from there doesn't work either.

Did you try closing the app down and restarting it? As I discovered, loading a game doesn't always put you in the exact same state as before.

Slogged through Vault 95 and ended up finding the Heavy Weapons Bobblehead but part of the Vault was blocked off by a Master terminal. Luckily I had a perk point so I saved before the door and bought the perk, and proceeded to clear out the rest of the area. Behind the door was just more mobs and turrets, and just not any good loot at all, not even containers. A suspicious room at the very end, a "detox" chair, but I couldn't operate the terminal because the chair needed a subject. Am I missing something?

It's because of the way your character holds the gun. The shoulder clips into view of the camera.

If you assign a settler to any plant it will automatically cue up for 6 food production total (12 0.5 food plants or 6 Mutfruit plans).
I don't get it, I keep making more food resources and my settlers can't work food better than 1:1. I feel like this is a giant timesink, the more I invest in the base building the more they want. Also for all the effort I get nothing in return.

The difference between difficulties is mostly that enemies deal more damage and you do less (also I think legendary enemies spawn more often on harder difficulties)

The PC interface/controls are pretty awful but personally I still prefer KBM in this game. You should probably test both and see which one you like more.

Lack of Legendary enemies will lead you to finish this game without any funny weapon you get from that guys. But bullet-soaking is real and very stupid.
