dd209 posted:Whew. FINALLY 100%'ed it on PC after playing almost every day straight since release. The 100% settlement happiness one was a pain in the arse and extremely buggy, however. I wouldn't recommend doing it before a patch. I have about 80% of all the skill/unlockable magazines in the game world and max relations with most of the companions, so there's still stuff to do if I feel like it, but at level 77 and after 125hrs of playing I'd say I've seen and experienced pretty much all the content worth noting in the game. I was a little let down that there were no hidden unique bosses of note, like the Legendary creatures in New Vegas. Yeah, I've no idea how to get settlements up to 100 percent, even after fixing the weird tv issue. Beyond that, the only thing I have left to do is try and find some sidequests I haven't gotten to yet, possibly gathering the last two bobbleheads I've missed.

isndl posted:Generally speaking you want Instigating (double damage on uninjured targets) or Double Shot (fires a free bullet for more damage) on a sniper. You should also upgrade to a Combat Rifle as the chassis for your sniper, it does almost as much damage as a fully modded bolt-action (maybe more with .308 receiver, I haven't checked), with super plentiful ammo and the ability to fire semi-auto to clean up lots of dudes at once or follow up on anyone who survives your initial shot. Combat rifle, that's different from the combat shotgun? I know my sniper rifle and axe are my mainstays plus my wounding Flamer/Big Boy on Dogmeat for especially big targets like behemoths, what else should complement that? I've converted my Righteous Authority to an automatic laser weapon, but I'm not sure if that's optimal. I feel like I should have an optimal automatic non-heavy weapon (ie not the minigun) to burn through all the ammo I've been collecting as a primarily melee character. I figure an automatic weapon would be good for hairy situation if I'm being overwhelmed by a bunch of enemies and need to spray a crowd and retreat. So far, my strategy has been: Outdoors: Sneak snipe stragglers at a distance to thin the crowd, then go in close with melee VATS Indoors: Sneak then melee for first strike, then lead around and dance with Jet as I chop down foes.

Beyond that, the only thing I have left to do is try and find some sidequests I haven't gotten to yet, possibly gathering the last two bobbleheads I've missed. The most commonly reported bug is that leaving the settlement seems to randomly cause a massive drop. Though it's been speculated that this is a deliberate choice (to represent the player's importance) there are pretty consistent accounts (including my experience) of the bug deriving from beds not being detected properly, with the settlers complaining about there being nowhere to sleep. I tested staying away from the settlement between 94 and 99 happiness and saw it continually increase as I did radiant quests and travelled around a bit. I went back to make sure it was rising from 99 to 100, then went off again, and when I emerged from a building in Lexington it had dropped to 83. Reloaded the save, stayed there for a few minutes and it hit 100. Other players insist you have to stay there for like half an hour. It's a real mess. Anyway my approach was basically the same as everyone else - dump all your companions to another settlement (they count as part of it and fill up slots despite contributing nothing), 21 settlers, level 3 clinics everywhere (though I had a clothing store for that seamstress and a random bar), TVs everywhere, something like 150 paintings all over the walls. Water and food don't seem to make any difference so long as they're equal or greater than the number of settlers. I had 200+ defence but people seem to get by with much lower.

MisterBibs posted:Is there anything related to the shack SW of Sanctuary, right off the little pond big enough to actually show up as a small water dot on your map? I'd normally chalk it up to just random scenery/loot, but a) everything is set to Owned and b) there's a random cat there. When I've gone there, there's an NPC wandering around just named 'Trader' who sells some generic stuff. I assume it's her shack.

Your Dunkle Sans posted:Combat rifle, that's different from the combat shotgun? Combat Rifle is different from the Combat Shotgun, yeah. It shoots .45 rounds and is commonly found on Gunners. For a backup weapon I have a Wounding automatic pipe rifle, just in case I run into something with ridiculous damage resistance. I used to have a laser shotgun but left it in storage once I realized I no longer needed it thanks to the better performance of the combat rifle.

You can pick off a straggler without any alerts if they're far enough from the pack, seems to be some combination of distance and line of sight. Enemies also do not know your general location off the initial alert if it's a one-shot kill, and the alerts fade more quickly as a result. Finally, you can get perks for damage multipliers with silencers which is the only way to get more damage off the muzzle mod slot, and this combines very nicely with the high base damage of snipers and sneak attack bonuses.

Post story stuff: I sorta hosed up and didn't play dumb after the Bunker Hill fight, which shoehorned me into working for the Minutemen. I want to do the Railroad quest where you gently caress over the Brotherhood, but they're not giving me any new missions beyond the radiant quest stuff. Am I boned?

I asked earlier, but once again, is choosing which faction to build the teleporter with a point of no return? The Minutemen are a bunch of wieners, and I hate everything related to them, but the alternative is replaying like 3 hours of the game.

It even lops off limbs/arms mid-VATS so ghouls et al end up looking like the Black Knight from Monty Python's Holy Grail after a few swings. Its even better if you have Blitz unlocked as a perk. You become a teleporting melee death machine.

The Minutemen I don't know about, but following the Railroad questline, I built the thingamabob and used their tape in the Institute. Afterwards, I visited the Prydwyn (had already done a bunch of quests for them beforehand) and Marty Stu chewed me out for not using their tape. Then he sent me back in to retrieve Doctor Li and continued giving me quests right up until the Institute asked me to assault the Mass Fusion building. At this point you can warn the Brotherhood and get a notification that stepping into the Vertibird with Ingram will make The Institute hostile (by extension failing the Railroad quests but not yet making them openly hostile iirc) whilst stepping into the Institute teleporter will make The Brotherhood hostile.

Is their DPS way better from the improved fire rate or something? When you get a legendary modifier like Wounding or Staggering, an automatic can be amazing. As far as raw damage goes though, they don't offer a whole lot more for the amount of ammo they consume.

Not being able to warn Des is a common bug for Underground Undercover, from what I understand it's still not clear what causes it, Des just shows as being permanently busy. I had a different, apparently much rarer bug with Underground Undercover, where the quest never progressed past "continue working with Father", well after it should have changed and given me the warning to pass along. I ended up progressing the quest through trial and error on the console to the "warn desdemona" phase so I could turn it in.

Can Deathclaws get mangled in fence geometry? I was building some low rent housing in Starlight Drive-in and heard a gunfight erupt. As I turned around to help out I saw the characteristic Deathclaw shape flailing around. Then the shooting stopped, and I saw gibs everywhere which I had assumed were my mauled up settlers with leather armor and all the modded pipe guns I never use anymore. Nope, just a Deathclaw body with every limb, hand and head blown off around the fence with 5 settlers and 2 hmg turrets looking at it. Are settlers really that competent? I did watch one of my provisioners walk through college square and gun down all the ghouls, so maybe they're fine?
