IIRC any guaranteed armour spawn that gives a full set will be X-01 if found past 30.

Nope. Wait for mods. Not being able to rechamber the .44 or pipe revolver to .50 is dumb.

Is there a fast way to scrap all of your junk? As in, the stuff in your inventory? Do I just drop it then go into editor mode, or can I just put it in the workbench?

I haven't really dicked around with building much. I just built one house in Sanctuary and gave the 5 people beds and said piss off. Lol.

I'd be glad to contribute.

While I'm on the spree of asking annoying questions (haven't asked any in this thread before this, just made commentary),

Is there a shop within the institute? I saw someone 10 pages back or so mentioned getting a plasma rifle within the institute, not sure if he meant he bought it or just looted it.

I think I'll just hold off on the power armor so I can get it at level 30.

Is there such a thing as 'safe storage' in this game? I know that in other Bethesda games if you put poo poo in a container then left for long enough your poo poo would disappear. I need to store my fat man and minigun.

You can just shove everything in the workbench if you don't care about RP.

Just craft boxes. I crafted 2 wooden boxes and just tossed all my poo poo in there. Go to any settlement.

also found out the answer to my question. I didn't realize google answered all questions already. :thumbsup:

That's actually not part of the quest, you just have to do some of those stupid Radiant "go solve some settlement's problems" quests and eventually you can do it.

So Piper is really hosed up in my game. I can't initiate any dialogue under the Talk option unless I click on follow and stay a few times and eventually I can get into the Talk menu. When that finally works, whenever I ask her something, my screen goes totally grey with some wacky lines in it until i move the camera out of the 3rd person conversation view. If anyone has any ideas for a potential fix I would be grateful. Is there a console command to reset her somehow maybe?

As is not being able to rechamber the SMG into .38, considering you can rechamber the .38 pipe gun into .45

How the hell you're supposed to waste .45 ammo on the SMG I don't know, I need it all for my combat rifle.

you can buy spray n' pray from a wandering merchant which is a smg that does +15 explosive splash damage that comes with a silencer. its loving ridiculous.

So I found a cool bug. If a mini-nuke hits you in VATS, it doesn't do damage! I was attacking some Gunners outpost near the coast and I fire a critical missile at a Legendary Gunner Commander, when the slowmo kicked in the camera panned to a mini nuke which was fired at me by another Gunner. It hits me square in the head while my missile flies towards my target. When the VATS sequence ended I hadn't taken any damage.

I just tried to start a new game and the exact moment i'm given control of my character after waking up i'm stuck. The game will not recognize any keyboard input other than the escape key, tilde, and quick save/load. 360 controller gives the same result. tcl does nothing. Reloading the autosave from in the house doesn't change anything either.

Great it's actually all of my companions. even in earlier saves... What the gently caress...

edit: I went back to a pretty old save and everything seems ok. Only lost about 3 hours... Moral of the story is, check your companions every now and then cause something done fucks them up.

I did see that and was considering getting it but I only just manage to break even with a tricked out and perked up combat rifle, so I really can't spare the ammo.

I tried using a pipe SMG type thing but it didn't work too well around Boston. I think the assault rifle can take other ammo types but I don't have the skill to make the mods for it.

I want a decent bullet hose that doesn't conflict with my main precision rifle. As it stands I can kill most things with the combat rifle, it just takes a while because I have to pick shots and it doesn't work too well when I unload the thing.

Yeah, I had this too, super loving annoying. If you load the save (from when you started heading to the vault) it should work fine, but it's still some pretty serious bullshit.

Edit: Wait, you reloaded and it happened again? That's REALLY hosed, I only had it happen once.

Is any else getting instantly killed by none-legendary SMG equipped Mr. Gutsy? All the ones I've encountered are able to literally shoot a thousands rounds per second of perfectly accurate .45 rounds that kill me in power armor in half a second.

Fake edit: gently caress the guy who programmed how fusion cores are used, power armor should be defaulting to fusion cores with the LEAST amount of charges left, not popping a fresh one every time; now I have eight different fusion cores slots sitting in my inventory instead of a neat stack of 18. :argh:

I recommend making a save right before you get into the cyro chamber. Then you just have to keep loading and redoing that part. It took me like 8 times on my wifes character, didn't have it on my main character.

It's not too hard to figure out based on the character. I got codsworth to adore me for upgrading a piece of power armor. Cait likes it when I do drugs, pick locks, and steal, and dogmeat just loves you cuz he's a dogge.

Strong hates so much. He hates it when you use computers or pick locks. He hates it when you use Charisma skill checks. He hates it when you mod armor. I think he just hates THINKING in general.

But I think he loves it when you eat people and is the only companion who does so. Pretty good guy to have on your side if you like chowing down on the flesh of fellow humans.
