I paid 20€ for it and I'm happy, it's not the best game ever but if you liked previous fallouts this is pretty comparable. Enjoying this more than I enjoyed vanilla Fallout 4 actually!

Should've capped at 50 and also have blueprints account wide, and the ability to trade items to your own characters. I would definitely play more, using alts, if these problems didn't exist. yeah plans really need to be account wide and stash account wide or something agreed on the infinite scaling being a problem hopefully one fallout fixes this or something

Melee in power armor is EZ mode. The hunting rifle is very good. The problem is, for at least the first 25 levels, all you can build your character for is survival. It’s pretty challenging as a survival game until you figure out all the systems and break it, which is even more fun IMO. Pure stealth is super viable at later levels, melee or ranged.

VRViperII posted:Melee is very good. Melee in power armor is EZ mode. *sigh* I would so much like to try out proper melee, but there's not enough SPECIAL points to go around and the limited respec possibilities (only after lvl50 and only 1 point at a time, wtf... I guess it's better than no respec at all but come on) stifle me since I'm a pussy and I'm afraid to go face to face with big hulking monsters without a sufficient buffer of armor and HP so I'm building towards being good at ranged already at lvl10 (2 str, 1 end) maybe I'll make a totally new character for melee later?

If you dump a bunch of strength while leveling to do melee (Which helps you ignore ammo during a time when it is hard to come by) you can easily switch to shotguns and heavy weapons later since their perks are mostly all in strength. Please more strength gives you more carry weight and give you access to a number of perks which help you reduce the weight of many things like ammo and chems. Also there is really no ranged stat unless you are relying on VATs. The only thing stats give you for ranged are slotting perk cards and for rifles you need 9 in perception, 12 if you want tank killer as well I think? If you are playing by yourself and also since the new expansion now has people putting some points into Charisma is good (atleast 4) so you can run Lone Wanderer perk and also pass 4+ Char test.

Hmm thanks for this, I had no idea shotgun perks were strength related. Now it just gets worse though ... I want perception for VATS and perks, strength for carry weight and perks, agility for stealth and AP, endurance for HP if I go melee and intelligence for repair/modding/crafting (this one maybe less necessary, but I just like it) is Luck very important? Every guide I see says it's one of the most important things if you use VATS, and I do use it at times, but it seems a "meh" stat, I mean I guess criticals are good but I often forget to even use them, and there's times where I don't even use VATS at all...

What I ended up doing to try different builds was make alts. Since some peeps are interesting in melee, let me chime in to reiterate that unarmed builds are soooo strong. One main restriction is that you can’t be in power armor. Also to deal with scorchbeasts you need to put some points into shotgun perks. Even just the rank 1 of the shotgunner perks gets 30% damage boost, but the cripples from the enforcer perk are the biggest thing. Load tons of points into strength and agility anyway and you’ll have ample room to include the shotgun perks. Before I forget, for newish players be careful of the endurance trap. Despite this being marketed as a survival game, endurance is one of the least useful lines for most builds. Some folks like radicool and ghoulish perks for niche builds, but for most of your general purpose builds you still don’t want many points for endurance. Imo fireproof is handy though as it lets you eat scorchbeast sonic attacks with minimal damage.

If you go VATS yeah, you're gonna need a fair bit of Luck, For most builds you want at least three points there anyway for maxed Bloody Mess. Five point of Int are nice to have too for Gunsmith.

I run 1 point in endurance so I can run good doggy and just eat canned dog food all day, and then 3 more points for vaccinated because I hate getting diseases constantly.

thanks for the build tips  so putting up to 3-4 points in any stat is never a waste, except for END apparently (lol) due to having nice perks or being useful for derived statsbtw it's pretty jarring that if you follow the "old" main quest you're supposed to chase this drat overseer on her paper trail and it seems it will be some kind of end-game thing but you literally find her at her house in what is basically a newbie-zone you get sent to early on, and then you have to be level 20 to work with her? While I still have to follow her "paper trail" ?

If anyone is getting annoyed by diseases and don’t have (or ran out of) disease cures, there is a water fountain that will cure any and all disease. Nothing in the game points you to it afaik so it’s easy to miss. At the Whitesprings, just NW of the building icon on the map look for a little gazebo. Water fountain there heals all diseases.

I never knew about this one. However I remember one of the scout badges has you craft disease cure from plants in any given area, and the forest one was very simple. Something like Firecap, something you find in rivers, a crop, and boiled water. You just find some fire caps, then walk along a river getting the other thing, and water, and you can make like 10 in one go.

As a bored 7days addict, discovering this game was a mistake. It's everything I wanted 7days to be minus vehicles and zombies. After a weird run in on the public server, I decided to pay for a the private server for a month to get know the game myself. I made a two tile into a 9 tile "treehouse" or suspended house. I'm looking to expand this from a 3x3 into a 4x4 in the higher floors. Pretty sure this is structurally sound.

Finally got the suppressor for the lever action rifle and now I can't decide between melee or ranged again. I'm spread kinda thin on my perks across the board and without unyielding I couldn't be both right now. Unyielding is def gonna get a nerf at one point.
