I found a little lake down in the southeast of the map with some mirelurk hunters and a mirelurk king (the first of either I had seen).

After clearing them out, I started destroying any remaining 'lurk eggs. After I started to shoot them, the screen began rumbling like when the Mirelurk Queen appeared at the castle. My framerate tanked, rumbling continued but...nothing happened? I was really expecting another big confrontation so I'm still not really sure what that was all about.

It's actually a lot like what I'd imagine the surface of Venus would be like, especially with all the lightning storms, only without the insane heat and pressure of course.

Yeah, I don't know..


I found an irradiated flamer once, which seemed like it would be totally broken since it's supposedly adding 50 damage to a weapon that's balanced for 15 or so per hit, but it was sadly still really wimpy and not that much more effective than the base weapon.

Is it safe to change your character's gender using the console and then visit the plastic surgeon in Diamond city? I don't want to trigger some weird bugs.

I remember in F3 using the race change menu removed any toughness and other damage resistances abilities you had, I don't know if it also applied to the sexchange command.

Loaded my save before leaving the vault because I wanted to try melee out and it overwrote all of my other saves. There goes 18 hours, guess this is my new playthrough.

This thread moves fast, so maybe this was addressed in the last bunch of pages I haven't had time to read, but your saves probably aren't gone. The game has a system where by default on some of the load menus it will only show saves from the last character you've played. You can press a button ( y on the 360 controller, not sure what it is on PC keyboard defaults) to bring up a menu with all the characters you've played and choose whose saves you want to see. Look for the "Select Character" key on the loading menu.

It could be because it's at population cap, which is your charisma + 10. Alternatively, maybe it's under attack and you can't send settlers to places that are under attack.

So I just did that Supermutant tower quest where you rescue the Shakespearean Actor and his Mutant buddy, Strong. Apparently Strong is voiced by Sean Schemmel, aka Goku.
If I didn't ask Strong to follow me as a companion, where can I find him again if I want to have him later?

Can you get that dress without using the console?

If you're on PC, C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\Fallout4.ini and change the value of "bDisableAllGore=0" to 1.

If you're on console, I don't think you'll be able to change it.

This must be like my 2nd legendary armour item that isn't a raider left leg with -15% damage from ghouls or some nonsense.

The raider that carried this thing was a loving prick. He carried a .44 and mutated, and took off 75% off my HP with a single hit.
Get used to it. Once you start seeing them mutate, basically every legendary fight will be a game of "break one limb, enemy refills health, now kill them for real".

^^^ I have begun to turn off radios, but I build jukeboxes everywhere because the classical music is pleasant enough. The lack of music is egregious enough that at this point I'd say it ought to cost the game a full point on a review scale because a half-dozen songs is a laughably small number for a game series which has become known for its music and soundtracks.

I was griping early about hard leading to rando bandits being able to nearly destroy me in power armor, but the trade off is the loot is way better, and I appear to do mostly the same amount of damage to them as well. Mirelurks are a lot buffer than in FO3 though.
.308 and .44 absolutely wreck them. Avoid lasers. Go for the legs.

It's a good thing you can rename your gear. The auto-naming thing drives me crazy, I had to rename my armor just so the name stops changing who I swap upgrades. I switch to CHR boosting clothes when stopping and with the default naming it's a pain to re-equip my gear, because it's all over the pipboy menu rather than clustered together, I don't need to know what mods are equipped game, thanks. It's also a pain when picking up modded armor from enemies and having to strip the upgrades off to find out what tier it is.

Weapons are okay since you can use favorites to hotkey them, though good luck scrolling through multiple recoil compensated combat rifles to find your kitted out one. So yeah, name your gear it helps.

Also, can I just go on the record as saying Travis is loving great. Every time I open up a new voice clip for that dude it just tops the last one. I kinda don't want to do the cheer-him-up quest because I think he's loving hilarious as is.
