the pipboys values fluctuate as provisioners enter and leave settlements, as named settlers bug out (this is sanctuaries big problem) and as unnamed settlers get flagged to give their stupid "radiant" quests

Me too. I made a poo poo load of defenses for my base though I feel like sanctuary was a bad place to build my poo poo. Is there any way to move all your settlers over to a different settlement?

So I feel really stupid but I am completely unable to figure out how to use a grenade during VATS..? I hold the RB button like I would outside VATS and nothing happens if I tap or long press it, or if I hold it and pull the trigger it just queues up a shot with my gun. What obvious thing am I missing? :saddowns:

The obvious thing you are missing is that grenades can no longer be used in VATS.

Its stupid, but sadly true.

Hardly a spoiler, but still...

Sarge, the sentry droid, below the minute man base, is he hackable and can you get him to guard the castle later ? Or is he just a normal mob ?

Good question, I still haven't experimented with the Robot Expert perk but I imagine that'd be the only way.

I've just confronted Kellogg and I feel real bad that I had to kill him. It was funny, though, because he said "You know how this has to end, are you ready?" And I asked him back "Are you?" and emptied twenty modded shotgun rounds into his face from close range in 1 second. I don't think he was.

? I gave Dance an x-01 helmet with the pip-boy lighting, had him equip it (you have to manually hit the equip button in the trade windows with companions to get them to equip stuff) and he hasn't taken it off for like 25+ levels.

If you can find fusion cores in containers because you have SCrounger I'm going to need to get me some perks in that. At Rank 2 Fortune Finder is definitely paying for itself, I'm finding caps in everything. Filing cabinets, medicine chests, Synth enemies who normally never drop caps, everything.

I think that's it. Apparently they're ammo.

e: A fusion core powers gatling lasers, so it's ammo, so you can find it very rarely (or relatively commonly with scrounger) in ammo boxes and all sorts of things such as that

Excessive hoarding can do a number on some of the main quest's dialogue. I'll keep it spoiler free:

Science Man: Here's the plans for a HyperTechno Megatool. You're certainly not going to build this yourself!
Engineer Man: Jesus, you want to build a HyperTechno Megatool? gently caress, you're going to really have to work hard to build that, to say nothing about powering it up, because-
Dad Of The Year: Okay, built it, powered it, and got all the cables connected. The sparks and glowing means I did it right?

Are there any obvious hints as to the potential direction of a Fallout 5, barring a New Vegas type situation? Fallout 3's The Replicated Man quest was so out of sync with the tone of that game that it made the setting of Fallout 4 a little easier to swallow, even if I found the idea of a game taking place in post-apocalyptic Boston odd at the time. I haven't seen anything like that yet, unless I'm blind.

Have you tried running the game in borderless windowed, or vice versa if you already are? I had a hang-on-load issue that was fixed by temporarily loading the game that way once and then setting things back. Not sure if it'll work for you, but worth a shot.

Yes and it's shockingly easy once you know what to look for - highlight the settler in build mode and then look below the build options for the button prompts, and choose "MOVE" :)

It's just context sensitive so you never know it's there until your focus is on another area of the screen.

I don't see the need for caps when I get 30+ purified water at half of my settlements every time I fast travel away and back. :whatup:

Also just found a legendary combat shotgun that fires two rounds for the price of one. :snoop: I think that's a good note to go to sleep on.

I guess the scrounger thing might explain why I have over 50 fusion cores sitting in my inventory right now (and the fact that I only rarely use power armor). I haven't really felt the need to do the purified water thing because I make plenty of caps off the junk weapons/armor I pick up. I use the water from my many many purifiers to craft so much adhesive and oil that I'll never run out again.

Some of the legendary shotguns are crazy powerful. But my explosive one keeps crippling my limbs if things get the slightest bit too close before I fire. :(

Strong is quite talkative, but he's also a moron and he criticizes you for looting or wearing power armor constantly

But he does say how much he likes fighting with you after you get kills and yells at enemies he can't reach and hits stuff with a sledgehammer
