So, I've been travelling with Piper and got to the part where you go to the BoS airship and was really surprised to see Nat standing around there and now she follows me whenever I have Piper around. I'm not really sure whats going on.

did they take out 'let's go sunning' in the radio playlist

i mean they still got anything goes so they got the #1 song but then forgot to bring back the #2 song
also it feels like they added a lot of songs from the GNR extended mod but maybe i'm insane idk

i guess for gameplay discussion: this game is kinda super disappointing as a RPG in the sense of like character defining or freedom of choice affecting the world in tangible ways
but it's almost made up by how dang fun lasers are drat they're real satisfying in this game. i wish the laser musket stayed relevant for longer as a viable weapon because it's hilarious- i never noticed that it's a makeshift lasergun stuck on top of an actual musket until now

So apparently some non-hostile generic NPCs can spawn as Legendary, too. I just went back to the Cambridge Station and there was a Legendary Brotherhood Aspirant wandering around.

If this happens to you, btw, you can pick their pocket to examine their special drop and even steal it.

My little sister was doing the quest to help the radio guy and during the bar fight she switched to fists to make it look real but it made gunshot noises and they exploded into blood even though she just punched them and her companion didn't shoot them and then the bartender yelled at her. Player Choice Ftw.

Walk up to one of your settlers in construction mode and press Q to have him establish a supply line to another settlement. All settlements linked by supply lines will automatically share resources like food and water between them, and the inventories of their workshops are linked as well. You can link several settlements together in a long line and they'll all count as linked to all other ones in the same network.

Not necessary, the house that belonged to a secret drug dealer in Sanctuary has a Chem Station hidden behind it. In Workbench mode you can pick it up and move it next to the rest of your crafting stations.

I don't think you'd be able to use any 50's era songs then.

My dad has this old national geographic describing an expedition in Alaska to find a volcano, the native guide is one of my ancestors and they described him as "a keen native intelligence," and was very complimentary about him, if extremely racist. The culture during the 50's was very racist and misogynistic by our standards, but I look forward to being prejudiced against cyborgs.

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.

Is that the fort that has a lower level door elevator access seems blocked off by debris and cabinets? I was sort of assuming those magically disappear via plot magic at some point.

EDIT: Also, I want a mod that destroys a weapon by breaking it down into its component mods.

I had a legendary knight drop from a vertibird. Hoo boy, was that some chaotically fun times. He eventually got taken out by a mutant suicider along with the rest of his squad. They had like 300 fusion cells on them too.

Also, goddamnit. The radio transmitter at Castle is still bugged. loving hell. This better not ruin my game or cut me off from any content.

I didn't realise this but apparently entire sections of the game can revert almost entirely (maybe due to quest stuff?) even after you've cleared them.

I cleared super duper mart, including the power armour raider on the balcony near the entrance early on. Later I got the Brotherhood mission to clear that map and when I went back there all of the mobs had returned, as had almost all of the loot. It was really weird. Power armour guy was there again with his Fat Man etc - the only things that were missing were the fusion core in the basement and the armour on the brotherhood corpse at the end (both of which I looted on my first clearing)

I'm really rather surprised by this. I swear neither previous fallouts or skyrim worked this way and it's really weird to have everything respawn in a zone. Has anyone seen this happen elsewhere or is it just this one location?

When dungeons are uncleared they seem to get all of their static loot back, yeah. Though the mob composition can change. If it didn't work that way people who played one save forever would eventually run out of junk to repair and build with.

Fair enough. Felt really weird because a load of other missions let you just say "oh yeah I've already done it" when you get the mission later.
