Well there is that, but in regular combat no. I'm pretty sure Bethesda came out and said that Dogmeat doesn't die. That was my first question after the trailer came out.

Didn't find anything super interesting down there, just a few items that may be for side quests I haven't found yet. Be careful in the basement of the parking garage near the supermarket, there's a mega deathclaw in there.

In other topics there is very good news for Liberty Prime fans. He still says all the over the top patriotic poo poo while lobbing nukes.

I was just loving around and ran into virgil's laboratory after going to explore ground zero, then traced the boundary and found sentinel site prescott, which I presume is going to be fleshed out later because all I found in there was a shitload of ghouls and dead children of atom, and there were like 5 or 6 other things that popped up on the map that I didn't explore. power armor is for the rads in the glowing sea, though there's one of those super annoying glowing one ghouls in the sentinel site

You stumbled into one of the later BoS quests at Prescott. If you poke around the sea some more you'll find a radio tower that can be powered up to reveal three signals. One brings you to a plane crash, one to a cave with a full set of raider power armor, and the third I haven't figured out yet but it may be tied to the Ham radio in the buried church.

I found a gun kind of early on and threw it in my stash thinking it sucked because it was just a pipe rifle. Then I saw it again and realized I could turn it into an automatic death hose.





edit : it's not unlimited ammo, it's just you can shoot till you run out of .38 ammo.

Cool, I had guessed as much. Seemed like a pretty big area to have zero explanation.

Alright so I just finished bombing through the main storyline taking the BoS route. Minor spoilers about the end battle: You get to go through downtown Boston with Liberty Prime and then nuke the Institute's underground facility. There's a bird's-eye view of the nuking which is awesome, and it leaves a big water-filled crater in the city Major spoilers regarding Shaun: I told the real 60 year old Shaun that I betrayed him just because I wanted to see the Institute burn. Shot him in the face and took the ten year old Shaun synth with me. He believes that he's the real Shaun and wants to live with me.

The game just dumped me back into the world after a short cutscene with no credits or the traditional "where are they now" slideshow. BoS storyline still has more to go apparently.

The part where the BOS show up was pretty awesome.

My roommate was rattling off some of the criticism that's been leveled toward FO4 and it sounded like it had been ripped right out of games:

"You can't just be a dick to people and be evil. So it's really limited the role playing settings."

"The interactions are too simplified so you can't see exactly what you're going to say to people."

"The crafting process is too easy now."

He also said Skyrim was bad and plays Eve so I don't really value his opinion on computer games.

I agree with the second one, dialogue trees work better. The third is just bizarre. Cause I really want to spend all day reading a wiki, that's fun.

Is there a trick to healing limbs I'm missing, or am I hitting a gamebug? (PC)

My legs are at like 75-80% (not enough to say crippled yet) but it's making about 10% of my total HP bar red.

Easy, right? Just like in the old fallout games, open my Pipboy, go to status, wait... I can't choose any of my limbs on the Pipguy? I can only press one butan for stimpak and one for rad meds?

Then when I back out, I shoot up with the Stimpak, and it doesn't get rid of the red or heal the limb.

Sleeping didn't work either.

Haven't gotten far enough to find a Doctor yet.


Am I just missing something basic with a UI change or are my saves borked?

Red is radiation damage. It's different this game, radiation reduces your maximum available health. Take some RadAway.

People that complain about the dog getting in the way inside buildings have clearly never owned a dog, or owned a dog over 60 pounds.

I'm starting to wonder if using the scrap command in workshop build mode is a better idea than building a mod that consumes an item. I've used a bunch of gold watches for springs and poo poo, yet I have no gold in my workshop.

I need to start modding weapons instead of beating legendary mole rats to death for sweet loot.

speaking of crafting, apparently adhesive is super rare? So there's a way to get an unlimited supply of it by farming foods, turning them into vegtable paste, then breaking it down to 5 adhesive. read dat poo poo hur https://www.reddit.com/r/fo4/comments/3sezph/psa_there_is_an_unlimited_renewable_source_of/
