Oh yeah, I decided to give power armor another shot, but can't find the free one they give you to start. If you eject from it and leave it lying around does it despawn? I looked near the Museum of Freedom and couldn't find it.

Usually the location of all power armours that are yours should be marked on the world map. Unless perhaps you left it inside some building, I don't know what happens then.

The day you see a camera come into our courtroom, its going to roll over my dead body.
Quick question--

I have a minuteman based quest that sends me to a place called Sanctuary Hills. When I first get there, the settler I'm supposed to talk to is dead and there's a Mr. Gutsy ranting about a curfew who tries to kill me. After I take him out, the settler is still dead, and the quest marker tells me to talk to him, but I've tried looting him and moving him around but nothing progresses it. Thinking I might have screwed something up I reloaded from an earlier save, but the settler was still dead when I got back, but there was a squad of Gunners who had presumably killed him this time instead, trying to extort me for safe passage. Is this quest broken or am I missing something obvious?

Klopp's 13pts clear thanks to video ref

Lets talk Vaults, because exploring them and their backstories has always been my favourite part of these games. I've found 5 so far, which I think is all of them. Big old list of spoilers ahead:

Vault 75 is selectively breeding strong, intelligent fighters for the military. Parents are allowed in but separated (I think they were the first researchers?). Kids are raised by robots/researches until age 18, when they "graduate" and are either harvested for their genetic material (and subsequently used for IVF treatment), join the researchers, or culled. I think the suggestion is that the kids who broke out became the Gunners? That's speculation on my part though.
Vault 81 is the living vault that was secretly used for disease research and houses Curie, the second best companion in the game (after Dogmeat of course). Her quips about cleaning up and filing reports are the best.
Vault 95 is the addict vault, residents when through withdrawal and a rehab programme for 5 years before a secret room containing a shitload of chems was opened and everything quickly went to poo poo.
Vault 111 is obviously the cryo vault.
Vault 114 was supposed to be full of Boston's elite who were housed in slum-like conditions, but either wasn't finished or wasn't used?


I think they did a really good job of fleshing out all of the vaults in this game. Each one has a defined purpose and the terminal entries are well written.

On a side note, has anyone found how the FEV was released in Boston? I saw a reference to it in a terminal in the Institute but nothing else.

Even if it is missing for some reason, Power Armour is pretty easy to replace.

I'm hoping someone makes the Red Rocket garage bigger once the GECK is released, I want an Iron Man-style garage just filled with different types of power armour.

They were assholes in NV too, weren't they? I don't think they were xenophobic but it was clear that they were weird and creepy shutins who only give a poo poo about hoarding tech.

If someone other than you puts it on, like a raider or companion, it stops being "yours" and no longer shows up on the map.

It only displays the last suit you wore on the map though. Which is a problem if you leave cores in your suits because RADIANT AI can just up and decide that it needs more armor and get in suits that you leave cores in.

I like the middle ground they are in 4. In 1 and 2 there wasn't ever really a good reason why they had labled bases around cities if they just wanted to be isolated off hoarding technology. 4 makes their goals have some sense at least.

I really dislike it when people shoot down whatever someone is saying by saying "lol it's just <whoever we're making fun of> who cares what they say," it seems disingenuous, and makes everyone jump on someone without really knowing, or having an opinion on the subject on hand.

of course, I once used glue the wrong way so what do I know?

I just finished the story with the institute, and it's really bugging me that I can't go back to the airship or even the airport to do some looting. I got to hang around in the railroad's base so I assumed it would be the same but apparently all that stuff is just gone forever. There was good stuff in and under that airship.

Is there an easy way to tell from a distance if someone is hostile to you or not?
I've been in a few situations where I have walked towards something that looked like not a raider, but they just start shooting at me anyway. If had known I would have shot at them first.
Example being the cathedrel in Cambridge - walked in and there was a named preacher fighting a bunch of ghouls. I helped him out but he started attacking me when all the ghouls were dead.

I found a room in Fort Strong with a Fat Man. You can catch a glimpse of it through debris, so I ran circles around the place trying to get in there. I got frustrated and noclipped in and that room literally has no legit entrance or exit, but plenty of bunkbeds in adjacent rooms with loot. That room is literally a guntease. You can't get in without cheating.

He'll go to any of the random doghouses in sanctuary. I just stored most of them and put two over by the power armor rack now my dogs hang out where they can be found.
I'm not sure if it's the doghouses or the food bowl, but he definitely likes to hang out next to the blue plastic dogfood bowl I left by the workbench in sanctuary, so I moved a doghouse there as well. The Abernathy farm cat will follow its food bowl around as well.
