You think that's illegal? Heh, watch this.
Power Armor and double barrel shotgun made the Corvega Factory very cathartic.

I think some of these raiders would have run for it after i've mown two dozen of them down but no, it's all "LETS GO METAL MAN" and charging me with a tire iron.

I've been playing for 5 hours or so, but I haven't got really any meaningful upgrades. My armor is the drifter outfit, although I think I'm supposed to be piling up those various leather parts on top of my long johns? For weapons I use the laser rifle and a double-barrelled shotgun.

Had to turn the difficulty down when I found Ack-Ack the minigun raider and her pals downstairs of an antenna. Chopped me to pieces, I tell you what.

Next stop is the Corvega factory.

Are automatics viable at all? I didn't really bother with them because I seem to waste too much ammo with them, plus I love bolt action rifles too much. I love this weapon customization system, I have a rifle for every situation and it's great.

Yeah, that's the upside of removing the old skill system, you're no longer limited to one niche of weapons. I pretty much carry around a weapon for each ammo type, a rad (literally) sword, a variety of grenades, and a missile launcher for emergencies. When I find an awesome new weapon there's nothing stopping me from just picking it up and going to town without being gimped because I don't have the relevant skill.

Though that means I'm always half-overloaded, so now I'm kinda wishing for a mod that allows Codsworth to lug around all your weapons in a big old golf bag and hand them to you on demand like a proper caddie.

There Diomedes aimed and stabbed, he gouged him down
his glistening flesh and wrenched the spear back out
and the brazen god of war let loose a shriek, roaring,
thundering loud as nine, ten thousand combat soldiers
shriek with Ares' fury when massive armies clash.
Man, I got the Silver Shroud costume and it's dope as poo poo, but I know I'll never use it because armor is just so much more effective.

Settlements get more happiness the more defenses you get, and there are special happiness generating items, but the game doesn't say what they actually are.

So I bought a totally-not-stolen brahmin and sent it to my settlement and it arrived safely.

Now what is it good for? Can I get another one and breed them or something vaguely useful?

edit: also can I build fences somehow? I can't find anything in the categories that looks like a fence, I'm kinf od weighing making a paddock out of baby cribs or some poo poo.

Well that's just awesome, if you wear a Mining Helmet and activate your pipboy light, it turns on the light on the helmet instead :haw:

Not only is it a nice touch, it's actually a way better flashlight than the pipboy light too.

Also dogmeat found a teddybear somewhere while I was looting Sunshine Tidings Co-op and was playing with it :kimchi:
You can also mod the light color, the final mod is "vault-boy" which gives a green beam and the outline of the vault boy in your face. It's annoying as gently caress.

I'm told the Castle has some pretty cool-looking armor to grab in there. Is there a main story quest that takes you there, or is it a side-quest you have to do a bunch of Minutemen quests for? (Or do I kind of just have to go there on my own?)

Why can I no longer send companions and special settlers back to Sanctuary? It's grayed out on the list and I've had to divert some to Red Rocket.

Do I need to build more beds or somethings?

Can I ignore the assholes in Sanctuary without anything bad hapenning like people dying and then missing out on quests and such? I just want to focus on making a slick bachelor pad at the red rocket station. It's so easy to use that as a base of operations.

That is usually the case, yes.

There's a reason why I make entire dorms for settlers. It's an illness into itself.

Keep doing the MInutemen quests and you'll eventually end up there. Keep doing them some more, and you'll get a decent set of armor.

Probably posted before, but oh my god I just found Grognak's Axe and hacked apart a glowing one with it just before taking this screenshot. It rather trivialized the fight because a swing from the axe in power armor knocked down the ghoul. So I just knocked the ghoul down, waited for it to stand up, hit it again, repeat until victory. :iia:


Edit: Although this axe is awesome, it looks rather underwhelming in the power armor fist. Need to find something a wee bit bigger.

I changed the resolution in windowed mode to something low, exitted out, and then set it back and could play as normal.

I spent the first several hours of gameplay finding as many of the SPECIAL bobbleheads that you could get from the get-go. Some of them were really tough for a new character, but it was a lot of fun. In one of them I had about a 30 minute firefight with a legendary raider and his crew.

I noticed that any radiant quests (like the BoS stuff) will restock the area it's located in. I cleaned out the train station under Cambridge, went back later and got a cleansing quest from Rhys, and everything I had looted was back in its original position. I guess, if you really wanted to, you could save scum and double dip on crafting materials.

I'd honestly say the companions in this game are more interesting than the ones in NV.
That might just be because I spent most of that game with boring army dude Boone though.

I'd imagine most people who can will do this. There are also armor upgrades that will raise your carrying capacity and power armor of course.
