My goodness this game is so addictive. On a bright sunny day the game looks phenomenal! There is a lot of combat but I am on easy so it's not too bad. Personally I love salvaging and building sanctuary. I have plated 10 hours already and still have not been to Diamond City. Sanctuary looks great though!!!

How exactly does food work? I have six plants and one person tending to them yet it says I only have 2 food. I'm confused on how many plants/varieties you need for each person. Currently there are only 5 of us so I don't know how many plants I need. However, I am also doing a mission which will gain another 2-3 settlers so how many plants in total will be needed? Any help would be appreciated.

Also, is one person tending crops enough? And, does the person/people who tend also harvest them or do I have to do that myself?

Here is a good base building guide.

http://www.usgamer.net/articles/fallout-4-base-building-guide-food-water-power-defense

When you add more crops you have to recruit a person to harvest them. While in the workshop menu, you can tell if a crop is being harvested by the color, Red means nobody is harvesting it and yellow means it is. The only thing I do not care for is that you generally have no idea who is doing what, outside of seeing people working on crops. If you start building stores, it can become confusing but I found a trick to keep track of what everyone is doing. As you are out in the world pick up clothing and hats, etc. You can trade with people and put clothing, hats etc in their inventory and equip it on them. So you can have the crop workers all wear a certain look, etc.

They are in the perks section of the pip boy. You need to have a 6 in Charisma. You have to be level 14 to access the second perk.

Picked up a 133 rated shotgun last night, once I get leveled up and get to Gun Nut level 2, I'm putting a drum on that bitch, then level 3 to put a quick eject drum. I should have done the gun nut sooner.

Currently I have three settlements up and running.... Sanctuary, Oberland and a third one which I forget the name of. Last night I took out Kellog. The Kellog and Valetnine missions are two of the longest missions I have ever done. After the Kellog mission I saw the Brotherhood of Steel airships... I said I would help earlier... Maybe that was a bad idea???

So clearly I misunderstood and put six perks into charisma (top of the page). Now I see what you mean... you need to unlock the 6th box underneath charisma. Damn! Anyway you can reset your pipboy perks on console?

I have gone the simplistic route in regards to my home base. Working on the 100% Bobbleheads and Magazines, so they are spread out to keep track. Now on the flip side, you have absolutely no idea how much copper went into making the last part. 120 light boxes, required 12 full size generators, etc, etc.

Having played this game now for over 24 hours and seeing how it's such a struggle to find copper... I truly appreciate this video. Out of curiosity, other than Diamond City and trade caravans, are there any other places where you can trade supplies with vendors (outside of the ones you build yourself?).

You can do missions for every faction up to a point. That point varies for each faction, as to when you start pissing off the other factions. Do as many side questd as possible, find the Railroad if you have not yet.

Find Goodneighbor. Some really fun quests can be found there and two vendors. They are located in the Boston area. There are a couple vendors in certain areas, one is really close to Sanctuary.

K. Characters in the game have warned me from going south due to too many monsters. The North-west seems pretty free on menacing creatures thus far. I have been using this elite wasteland gear I found rather than my power suit as I only have 3 fusion cores. Is there a point in the game or area on the map where it's pretty much crucial to wear your power suit at all times?

Far Northeast will have some Deathclaws and they will show up in the Boston area on occasion. I would save the power armor as long as you can for trips to the extreme South West section of the Map. Really bad things roam there, plus a bunch of radiation awaits you.

They toned down the Deathclaws way too much. They used to scare the shit out of me but like you said a shotgun or missile launcher puts em down in a just a couple shots. Assaultrons, especially when you get a Legendary one that is a Dominator are probably the most difficult for me.

My first battle with one early one to save the Minutemen was a lengthy one, but that was obviously early on with piss poor weapons.

I don't think I've faced a Dominator yet, but found an Assaultron on a bridge and it raped me a couple of times with a dozen raiders before I defeated them.

Everything was going well... and then...

I set up a supply network between Sanctuary and Oberland Station and another supply line between Oberland and Templines Bluff. Sanctuary only had 13 people due to its distance from everywhere. However, Templines was up to 6 settlers and Oberland was up to 8. I build a Medic stand in Oberland and a trader stand in Templines. I have a plan to make all of my master shops in sanctuary...

I decided to send a settler from Oberland to Sanctuary to get a supply line from Sanctuary to Templines Bluff in order to get triangular trade. I fast traveled to Sanctuary and that's when all hell broke loose as I was attacked by 10 synths. They took out my generator and 4 of my turrets. It's going to take awhile to repair the damage. Really frustrating since I had Sanctuary defence at 64 and completely locked down the two entry points with towers, guards, turrets and walls. How did they get in? I guess it was just a game mission kicking in because now one of the people in my town is a settler synth???

You get random attacks on settlements that pop up on the screen (and are easy to miss because they stick it on the misc quests). These are timed events and if you miss them or get there late, they will tear up crops and damage defenses. Just wait until you get 25+ settlements out there. Gets a bit annoying.

In one hour I have been attacked three times by Synths. Ever since I did the freedom railway mission it has been non-stop. Attack one went after generators and turrets while attack two was at the main gate and attack three was within minutes of the 2nd attack and all of my food was destroyed. I am broke now as all my money goes into repairing the damage done. Wow!

Out of curiosity, is there a cap for maximum amount of people a settlement can have? I have 18, 10 and 9 at my 3 settlements. The development bar at the top is still good. Sad that there is a cap as to how much you can build though. Also, it would be great if you could meet people on the roads and give them directions to your settlements. The map is amazing but it just isn't populated with enough people. Lot's of monsters but more people needed IMO.

bdoughty
12-31-2015, 11:03 PM
20 is the max I have had, though I have seen people with 21. It seems to be tied in with how high your charisma level is. My map once showed 24 in Sanctuary but the extra people were traders.

There are a few people (non-companions) you meet randomly that you can send to a settlement. I can recall of at least 5 off the top of my head. They really meant for the settlement beacon to do they work, while you are off killing feral ghouls and robbing them of their toothbrushes and fancy hairbrushes.

Lucky you! My vacation ends tonight and I'm back at work tomorrow. That's okay though as I played the hell out of this game for the past week (49 hours and some odd minutes...).

Honestly the campaign is fun and for a person new to the franchise the story is very enjoyable. I really am more interested in the scavenging and exploration rather than shooting though. Plus, I love city builders and am having a blast building and defending my three settlements. Each one has 17 people. I have discovered several other settlements areas but have not built beacons as I want to make sure the settlements I have all have walled perimeters first.

I think the #1 tip is VATS is your friend, not just for killing things but to avoid stepping on the hundreds of landmines and traps in the game. #2 Autosave often. Don't try to play this like Call Of Duty because you will end up dying, a lot. Like I mentioned to Jaymo, turn the difficulty down a notch since you are new to the series. Difficulty can be changed at anytime and does not affect achievements.

The only thing he misses is that that not only do the conduits offer a sphere range for lights, that do not require copper, the same goes for the power pylons. So pylons are not always the middle link to creating power. The advantage to conduits are for when you have a large and tall building. The knock is that you have to use a lot of copper to run between the conduits.

What is the objective of this game? How do you win the game? I'm not sure you can answer that without spoiling something for those who play but, if you can, please do.

I've watched a friend play this game a bit and I wasn't impressed at all. That is probably because I don't know what the point is, though.

Kind of dumb questions but I'd appreciate an answer. :)

bdoughty
01-04-2016, 02:54 AM
There is a main objective and it would be a spoiler, also this objective is not the end of the story. The game really does not have an ending per say, there are some closure points but there will always be things to do. You deal with different factions and based on how feel about each will affect those closure points. It's a game that pretty much let's you play it how you see fit. Like building? You can do that. Exploring and finding loot? Yup. Want to kill stuff? Multiple ways to go about it, from a straightforward shooter to more of an RPG type setup (VATS). Go at it stealthy or guns blazing or you can run the whole game with just melee if you choose.

The game does allow you to hand the controller off in share play so I recommend doing that before passing final judgement.

Played for what felt like 5 hours lastnight (think it ended up being around 2 hours). Majority of that time was walking around like a pansy trying not to get killed lol. Think playing Dead Space. Most of that was due to being new to the game.

Found out early on how important having strength is when I hit my carry weight limit. Had to drop some stuff in a trash can. Didn't ask but will that stuff remain in the trash can until I come back around to it? If so this game got even more awesome (doesn't take much for me I guess). Or can a Raider come by and scoop it?...even cooler if so.

Going to play some more tonight when my son goes to bed. Really interested in finding out how to break down stuff that I've picked up also.

Yes, whatever you leave in the trash can will be there when you go back to it.

If you have a companion, you can unload the stuff with them as well. Eventually when you level up and choose the strength perks far enough, you can even fast travel when overencumbered. That's a nice perk.

If you go to the gas station by Sanctuary, that's where you'll find Dogmeat. He can carry up to 125 I think.

Or if you don't mind the extra legwork, just remember where you stashed it. I've done that a few times.

Man shit can get real at any moment in this game. Got jumped by what seemed like a pack of wild mongrels...which I thought I killed one but that bastard took 6 close shots from my shotgun. Ended up getting killed then.

Next was ravaged by a pack of feral ghouls. Only saw 2 of them. Shot at one...next thing I know I was running from 5 of them lol. Right into a group of raiders on a bridge. Didn't make it out of that one either.

So now I walk around pressing VATS just to make sure it's clear where ever I walk :D. Had to park the dog...he gets in the way alot of times and ends up getting banged up. Nothing is stealth about him at all

If you plan on going it alone, which is what I do because companions are a pain most of the time. Be sure and level up the "Lone Wanderer" Perk. You can take a lot more damage and add up to 100 weight you can carry. Third perk is the best giving you 25% more damage. Of course you have to wait until lvl 40 for it.

Yes each perk has four or five levels to them with increasing benefits.

bdoughty
01-06-2016, 10:41 AM
Every time you level up you can put a new perk from your pip-boy. You can put points in perks based on how many stars you have for each SPECIAL category. While you can add stars to bump up the SPECIAL, it is better to concentrate on the perks (which are the items under the top SPECIAL attributes) first. For the Lone Wanderer you need to have 3 stars in Charisma. Go down 3 levels and you will find it. As you level up perks the next perk will require a higher level.

A good video on perks.

What is the highest settlement happiness you have seen? I have been playing for quite some time and still have not seen 90%. I have done all the things people post on the internet to raise it, except for spending hours in a settlement walking around and tinkering with things just to keep people happy. Yes, the minute you leave to do something, happiness will drop and I simply refuse to go that route as there are nuka cola bottles to collect and raiders that need killing. Everyone in Sanctuary has a job, their own bed, in their own cubicle and clothes that give them higher charisma. Have all the lvl 3 stores and even added 5 more lvl 3 Medical stores to keep everyone working. 3 full blown water purifiers, 250 defense, statues, paintings, chairs and radios in every bedroom. Nothing works. I do not even care about the achievement, this is more of a me versus the programmers who came up with this bullshit system that is happiness. Hear a fix maybe in the new in the PC beta patch. Even so I want to do this before they make it so. Only 1% of PS4 gamers have achieved this and that seems high to me based on my experience. Problem I have is there is little else I can do. My settlement has reached full capacity. I have to destroy one thing just to create another.

Do not set up supply routes :D

Are you able to kill the routes?

Normally this game would be right in my wheelhouse in going for a Plat. Unfortunately a few of the achievements are tied into winning the game with all 4 groups (I have completed it with two of them). There is one group that I would never roll with because their logic is batshit crazy and one that I thought I would until I reached a point in it's story arc.

Yeah, in fact I just did that today. Just go to any of the places in the route. Take a seat and hit wait and they will eventually show up. All you need to do is go into the workshop mode and press (square) to move them to another settlement which will no longer have them as a provisioner and turn them back into a settler. Rinse and repeat until all the lines are gone.

Yeah I'll have to figure that out :D I know there are at least 3 or 4 supply routes to Sanctuary because that's where all my mounds of materials are.

Or just set up a new settlement, but I'm assuming it'd be easier to build on Sanctuary.

As you go along, if you don't use the power suit much and just rely on better armor, you'll have more power cores than you know what to do with.

To get your first companion, you can go to the Red Rocket gas station right by Sanctuary to get Dogmeat, or you can go to Diamond City and find Nick Valentine and his detective agency. The key thing once you get a companion is to trade with them and equip them with a good weapon and armor. You transfer it to them then highlight it on them and hit triangle to equip it.

She was the first one that I successfully romanced into a lesbian and she gives you candy and sweets. Then I went with Cait but she was more fun on the chems. I have used most of the companions for at least a short period and I would say Nick Valentine was my favorite.

I just roll solo now, kicking it in my full suit of X-01 Power Armor and jet packing to places you guys can't get to. There are those who wear power armor and those who spend most of their game sucking down stimpaks like they were skittles. I look like a badass destroying the Commonwealth. You guys look like.

Fallout 4 DLC plans announced:
https://bethesda.net/#en/events/game/fallout-4-add-ons-automatron-wasteland-workshop-far-harbor-and-more/2016/02/16/77

Automatron - March 2016 - $10
The mysterious Mechanist has unleashed a horde of evil robots into the Commonwealth, including the devious Robobrain. Hunt them down and harvest their parts to build and mod your own custom robot companions. Choose from hundreds of mods; mixing limbs, armor, abilities, and weapons like the all-new lightning chain gun. Even customize their paint schemes and choose their voices!

Wasteland Workshop - April 2016 - $5
With the Wasteland Workshop, design and set cages to capture live creatures – from raiders to Deathclaws! Tame them or have them face off in battle, even against your fellow settlers. The Wasteland Workshop also includes a suite of new design options for your settlements like nixi tube lighting, letter kits, taxidermy and more!

Far Harbor - May 2016 - $25
A new case from Valentine’s Detective Agency leads you on a search for a young woman and a secret colony of synths. Travel off the coast of Maine to the mysterious island of Far Harbor, where higher levels of radiation have created a more feral world. Navigate through the growing conflict between the synths, the Children of Atom, and the local townspeople. Will you work towards bringing peace to Far Harbor, and at what cost? Far Harbor features the largest landmass for an add-on that we’ve ever created, filled with new faction quests, settlements, lethal creatures and dungeons. Become more powerful with new, higher-level armor and weapons. The choices are all yours.


And more important, that this is only the beginning. We have plans for more. More than $60 worth of new Fallout adventures and features throughout 2016. Given the expanded DLC plan, the price of the season pass will increase from the current $29.99 to $49.99 USD (£24.99 to £39.99 GBP; $49.95 to $79.95 AUD) on March 1, 2016.

Beyond add-ons, we’ll continue to offer free updates to the game, including new features like the recent weapon debris for PC, and increased draw distances for consoles, as well as more optimizations to gameplay and quests. And something that we’re really excited about, a complete overhaul of Survival Mode that changes how you play the whole game: food, sleep, diseases, danger and more.

I may have snag the season pass for this at $30 and have it ready for when I buy Fallout 4 in maybe April or May.

The bits we’ve done, and me recently playing it, it’s absolutely some of the most fun I’ve had playing Fallout. I mean that honestly. It changes it in a good way for me, but it might not for everybody.

We’re doing things like you can’t save, it only saves your game when you sleep. You can’t fast travel. There’re all of these diseases. We’re trying it all. It’s a different experience. We’re not trying to make it a ton harder. It’s harder because you’re doing more things. We want the combat to feel different, as opposed to just being a bullet sponge.

Only save when you sleep and no fast travel. Yikes. Sign me up but I will have to get used to dying a lot.

Fallout 4 New Survival Mode Overview (http://www.gamespot.com/articles/fallout-4s-new-more-challenging-survival-mode-expl/1100-6435071/)


Saving

Manual and quicksaving are disabled. To save your game, you'll need to find a bed and sleep for at least an hour.

Combat

Combat is more lethal for everyone. You now deal, but also take, more damage. You can increase the damage you deal even further with "Adrenaline" (see below).

Fast Travel

Fast Travel is disabled. If you wish to be somewhere, you'll have to physically travel there.

Weighted Ammo

Bullets and shells now all have a small amount of weight, which varies by caliber. Heavier items such as fusion cores, rockets, and mini-nukes can really drag you down.

Compass

Be sure to keep your eyes peeled, as enemies will no longer appear on your compass. As well, the distance at which locations of interest will appear has been significantly shortened.

Adrenaline

Survival automatically grants the Adrenaline perk, which provides a bonus to your damage output. Unlike other perks, the only way to increase your rank of the Adrenaline perk is by getting kills (hostile or otherwise). The higher your Adrenaline rank, the higher the damage bonus. Sleeping for more than an hour, however, will cause your Adrenaline rank to lower. You can check your current Adrenaline rank at any time in the Perks section on the Stat tab in your Pip-Boy.

Wellness

You'll find it difficult to survive without taking proper care of yourself. You must stay hydrated, fed, and rested to remain combat-ready. Going for extended periods of time without food, water, or sleep will begin to adversely affect your health, hurting your SPECIAL stats, adding to your Fatigue (see "Fatigue" below), lowering your immunity (see "Sickness" below), and eventually even dealing physical damage to you.

Fatigue

Fatigue works like radiation but affects your Action Points (AP) rather than your Hit Points (HP). The more Fatigue you've built up, the less AP you'll have for other actions. The amount of Fatigue you've accumulated is displayed in red on your AP bar.

Sickness

A comprised immune system and a few questionable decisions can end up getting you killed. Eating uncooked meat, drinking unpurified water, taking damage from disease-ridden sources, such as ghouls and bugs, or using harmful Chems all put your body at increased risk for various ill effects. When you are afflicted with an illness, a message will appear onscreen. You can view specifics about your current illnesses by navigating to the Status section on your Pip-Boy's Data tab and pressing [RShoulder] to view your active effects.

Antibiotics

Antibiotics, which can be crafted at Chem Stations or purchased from doctors, heal the various effects of sickness.

Bed Types

The type of bed you're sleeping in determines the length of time you are able to stay asleep. A sleeping bag will save your game and may help save your life when you're desperate, but it will never allow for a full night's rest and the benefits that come with it.

Crippled Limbs

Crippled limbs will no longer auto-heal after combat and will remain crippled until healed by a Stimpak.

Carry Weight

Exceeding your carry weight reduces your Endurance and Agility stats and periodically damages your legs and health. Think of your back!

Companions

Companions will no longer automatically get back up if downed during combat and will return home if abandoned without being healed.

Enemy and Loot Repopulation

Locations you've cleared will now repopulate enemies and loot at a significantly slower rate.

Plus it kills the whole sleeping in a bed concept to save. Get in trouble, run away and fast travel back to a safe place with a bed. It definitely extends the length of the game and is one of the reasons "seasons" would make a great addition for consoles. Giving you something new to look at while you make your way back to Sanctuary or Diamond City for the umpteenth time. On the bright side there will be far less loading screens. ;)

That is what ticks me off about the PC guys getting the official creation kit first. The PC guys already have tons of modifications. We are the ones still playing vanilla fallout.

03-20-2016, 06:58 PM
Too much stress for a video game! For the past five days I am sitting at Mass Fusion. I informed the Brotherhood but didn't get on the Vertabird as I have the popup that basically says if I choose ne over the other, I will be permanently hostile to the other side. I also disassembled the transporter to get me into the Institute and have several institute missions (including the Synth rebellion I am in the process of building) I read that IF I take sides with the Brotherhood I will automatically be at war with the Railroad. My goal is to bring down the institute, support the Minutemen and still have good relations with the Brotherhood and the Railroad.

Any thoughts gents? Someone online suggested to shoot a director in the Institute and then I will get banished but I don't see how that would change things? My biggest issue is that I want to stay on good terms with the Railroad and the Institute while staying loyal to the Minutemen so that I can still do the missions for the three groups.

JBHuskers

You're going to have to eventually choose a side. What I did is create two save files. One for siding with the Brotherhood, one for the Institute.

03-24-2016, 01:23 PM
Finished the game last night. I ended up getting the ending I wanted. I went with the Minutemen and I ended up being at peace with BOTH the Railroad and the Brotherhood. Desdemona and I are good. However, the Brotherhood's leader won't talk to me because I didn't do "Liberty prime."

I have been playing this game non-stop since Christmas and building settlements has been so much fun. There are still lots of things to do.... But with the main mission done I'm not sure if I will come back to the game that often. The game is phenomenal! However once the main mission ends the replay value drops a lot (for me).

I need to finish Witcher 3 and Just Cause but I also want to try out the DLC as well as go back and play Fallout 3 so I'm not sure what is up next for my gaming schedule.

She was not a very good one though. All that time in Sanctuary and she never put together that Sturges was a Synth. The one that shocked me most was that Magnolia was a synth. I had girl on girl action with her, only to find out she was a frigging robot. Shame on you Bethesda, shame.

I didn't know Magnolia was a synth. FYI... I don't like that Paladin Danse is a Synth. Since I chose the Minutemen his storyline never kicked in. However, the game no longer sends him back to the Pyrdwin so essentially he has been exiled even though his story line never kicked in.

Some of it is lazy writing to try to get anyone to side with the Railroad. If you look at the trophy stats the Railroad was the least finished faction. The only redeeming part of the Railroad is Tinker Tom gives you Ballistic Weave armor that is some of the best in the game but you can get it well before you have to side with the Railroad.

Danse being a synth is trying to get you to feel something for synths. Then you have Nick Valentine the gumshoe synth, loved by Diamond City because he saved the previous mayors daughter.

Pretty much this. Though I usually go it alone as companions are a PITA. So instead of wasting points on strength, just add the to Lone Wanderer perk, assuming you decide to go solo. You will be able to carry far more stuff quicker with the addition of taking less damage. * Bear in mind there are some quests that force you to use a companion and for these segments you lose the perk, so you need to put a couple points in the toughness perk. If you plan to shoot, instead of melee, never go higher than 3 points in Strength to begin with. This gives you enough to be able to access the Armorer perk to improve combat and power armor.

I will give one bit of advice that I wish I knew on my first run because finding adhesive is a bitch, not to mention adhesive is required to make most modifications. As soon as you can build water purifiers in Sanctuary City do so. The bigger the better. These will help you make a lot of caps quick as you will get an amount of purifies water in your workbench ever day or so. Make sure and store some of the water, then find and plant as much Corn, Mutfruit and Tato as you can. Combine these with Purified water and you can use the stove to make Vegetable Starch, which is an adhesive.

You can't kill Preston or any of his crew outside of Mama Murphy. To be honest these two will be the ones you are least likely you would want to kill out of the group.

Well my favourite aspect of the game is building settlements. I really spent the most time exploring and building and try to fight as little as possible. The story is good but you don't need to rush through it as the replay value drops after the main story is finished.

bdoughty

Early Far Harbor Impressions:

Very minor spoilers but I will hide them for those not wishing to have anything spoiled.

Pros:

Love the atmosphere early on.
Only completed two quests and one was a pretty kick ass misc quest. It leads you to a vault and a robot murder mystery.
Big map, of course we already knew that.
A few new perks levels added. Lone Wanderer now has a 4th perk for example.
There are three or four new settlements, I have not seen them yet but was mentioned on another site, plus there is a trophy for unlocking 3 workbenches.

Cons:

Runs at about 15fps. Who the heck tested and approved this shit Sony? It is not unplayable but apparently all the fog bogs down the poor PS4. When they force a companion on you it does feel like a slide show at times.
The two new guns, Harpoon and Lever Action Rifle are okay. Both do descent damage but the harpoon spears are not plentiful, same for the Lever Action Rifle. It uses a 45-70 bullet. It's like the hunting rifle with a slow as shit reload. Also Arturo was not selling either of these ammo types so it may be limited to Far Harbor.

WTF:

You can have sex with a robobrain.


Would be amazing if not for the framerate. Still fun but hard on the eyes.

I think Bethesda said that it is the biggest DLC Land Mass they have ever made. Larger than Shivering Isles but there are less things to do on the map. Will play some more tonight and see how much there is to do. People that got it early say there is at least 20 hours worth of content, maybe more for those like me who like to explore ever nook and cranny.

If you have not done the Automatron DLC, it has a little beef to it and the last section is pretty lengthy.

bdoughty
05-20-2016, 06:59 AM
Nope and I have played almost 10 hours so far and hit 90%+ of the locations (many unexplored but wanted to see just how much was out there). The framerate is crap but I already covered that. It almost helps me when shooting (non-VATS) as it slows my aim movement down. There is an animation bug with the lever rifle that forces you to reload 5 bullets, even if there are still bullets. No biggie as it is not that great of a gun.

Now this is not a spoiler but a warning in advance. There is a tower defense/puzzle mini-game. I repeat a tower defense/puzzle mini-game. Ugh, this I actually despise as you are forced into 5 tedious levels of getting code from one area to another. Each more tedious than the next. Outside of that it has been just fine. Oh and I ran across a RAD Chicken and it was dare I say, radical? Then I shot it. :D

On the building front, there is only one settlement that I am going to spend any time on as it is really open and partially on a beach. There is another one that has a ton of resources. Wood and concrete out the ying-yang. Also you can run supply routes to Far Harbor. A bunch of new items to create with the DLC. You can build barns and a bunch of other stuff I have yet to mess with.

I generally use VATS to target enemies and go back to shooting normally. It is much better gunplay and the credit to that is they poached one of the Bungie guys (https://www.vg247.com/2015/11/05/fallout-4-gun-handling-inspired-by-destiny/). Destiny still feels much better but you are also dealing with guns in F4 that are much less accurate to begin with.

That said Destiny does not have RAD Chicken!

Do you like the idea of building custom robots? Automatron allows you to build robots using different parts (protectron legs, assaultron head, sniper arm, etc.) and upgrade them similar to power armor.
Do you enjoy building settlements? Wasteland Workshop adds new building materials & models.

I just started playing the Automatron DLC today and finished it in about 4-5 hours... though it seems like there will be un-ending repeating tasks associated with it after you finish.

As well, there are other DLCs planned. Someone cracked open some files and it sounds like there will be a couple more workshop DLCs and also one called Nuka-World (Disney World style DLC?).

When I'm headed into battle, I save right before I kick off the festivities, like just a little bit ago at Satellite Station Olivia, took one step in the door and saved. I'm paranoid about saving now.

Since you will spend a lot of time looking at the pip boy in the game, go to the game settings and change pip-boy auto save down to 5 minutes.

Make sure auto save is on for fast travel, sleep, wait, etc. Pretty sure they are on by default but better safe than sorry.

Slowly coming along. When I called it a night last night, I was level 12, just shy of 21 hours in and called it a night while I mulled over my first true decision.

While doing some exploring and checking off dozens of locations to visit, I made it to Covenant and started Human Error. I passed the speech check with the mayor, so when I approach the Compound, I won't be fired at or anything, but instead receive a friendly welcome in.

Now I'm trying to decide what I'm gonna do. Do I let the girl die (and have to kill Dan since I told him about the Compound and he's already left to join me there), or do I save the girl, piss off Covenant and then have to systematically wipe them out?

I searched for a way to try and accomplish both (save the girl and keep Covenant friendly), but it doesn't look like it's possible.

Haven't played this in forever. Need to get back into it as I was really enjoying it.

Ever since I tried to go all gung ho in that building that I shouldn't have, haven't played since lol

You should play it more and let me provide the play-by-play and color commentary.

Have you gone up to the second level of Diamond City yet? Just a mention because quite a few people tend to miss it and there is a potential quest that will bring you a good chunk of stuff that will lead to some serious CAPS.
You mean up into the stands? If that's what you're referring to, yeah, I've been up there. I think I've been into every single building, even the Mayor's office, to swipe everything I could. It was tricky in a couple spots since I had to try and get hidden outside a door in the middle of a walkway so I could lock pick my way into it.

But as far as I can tell, at least everything inside a building, I've cleaned out. The only stuff remaining in Diamond City is everything outside the shops and stuff, which I can't get because of Diamond City Security all over the place.

What's the quest? The only quest I've picked up from going into the stands was Diamond City Blues, but I haven't done anything with it yet other than initiate it.

Ah, yeah, I've initiated it, went into the bar, saw the fight, ran into what's his name down in the market a day or two later and initiated Diamond City Blues, but I haven't actually proceeded with it yet.

I have about a dozen missions waiting for me to continue and complete the next objective. Maybe tonight after I get done with work and dinner, I'll jump on and progress that one.

SmoothPancakes
05-26-2016, 06:56 PM
I haven't used it very much. Still have like 20% left on the very first suit you get in Concord.

Have two other power suits sitting next to my main one in Sanctuary that I've been using to harvest parts from, along with one I've left just sitting in Diamond City for no real reason.

I think I'm up to 15 power cores now sitting in my ammo inventory since I rarely ever use the suits.

Despite my complete failure in Survival Mode, I am doing a no power armor run through the whole game and DLC. Since I never use chems it makes it fairly difficult but I know where most of the missile launcher pricks are hiding.

The two toughest fights are in the DLC's. The one in Far Harbor comes out of nowhere and I had fully upgraded T-60 power armor on and barely survived.

It is much thicker but as you can see from the video, the XB1 handles the heavy fog much better than the PS4. So the standard fog in the game should not be an issue for you.

Especially with a Sony console on the technical side. I never had a major technical issues playing Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Oblivion, Skyrim and all the DLC's on the 360. Bugs out the wazoo but the framerate was stable. Oblivion was the only Bethesda game that played better on the PS3, of course it was released a year after the 360 version.

The thing that amazes me about the game is that I am still finding a bunch of new stuff and this is my 5th and final run through of it. I will just keep using this character until a new Fallout hits.

So this one is my Platinum walk through. Meaning I have to side with the faction I dislike the most (hint Desdemona). That is all I lack to get it. The funny part was I held off on the Minutemen quests just to see what Garvey would do if I already unlocked all the workshops.

Slight spoilers and a pretty big find for me.

I do all that but forget one workshop, still there was a really long pause (much longer than the typical staring game you have with Garvey) as the game was going down a checklist of places to send me after he finds the one I missed. Did that and it rolled from finding/clearing settlements to helping them. Pretty much what happened the last four runs. So I am at the point in the Railroad where PAM has you clear out a settlement and I thought this should be interesting. Well it appears Garvey has no clue about Spectacle Island. Now I have been there numerous times to get the bobblehead but that, fighting the Mirelurk Queen/King and the cargo area was the length of my exploring. Well son of a gun there is a workshop there. You have to clear out all the creatures plus one other task that I will not spoil. I tore it down and got 4000 wood and 600 metal, which is way more than you get tearing down Sanctuary. Plus an Island to build on. Would recreate Gilligan's Isle but no Palm trees. So a nice resort for 20 lucky guests? I would but after seeing what this guy did on the island (on a console) would make anything I attempt look like a Motel 6 in comparison. (http://imgur.com/a/gY6PJ)

First Bethesda needs to pull their heads out of their asses. Finally get my account verified, only to be given a failed log in prompt a couple times. Finally log in, 15 seconds later I'm instantly logged out because of an error.

Get logged back in (having to reenter my Bethesda account name and password every fucking time), try to favorite or download a mod, get kicked back to the log in screen with more errors. All of this being done through the mod option in game on Xbox One. After logging in 10 different fucking times only to keep getting kicked back to the log in screen 15-30 seconds after logging in, yeah, go fuck your mothers Bethesda.

Well, after giving up on mods yesterday, I settled for just advancing my story.

During the night, I emptied out Lexington, assaulted Corvega (with about 5 different return trips to Sanctuary to empty mine and Codsworth's pockets, finished off that first minuteman mission related to Corvega, finished up Hole in the Wall in Vault 81, as well as just plain finished up every and any mission in Vault 81.

Also went and fought off some supermutants attacking Tenpines Bluff and finished off the mission at Thicket Excavating. Also did a little bit of exploration south of Lexington, discovered some new places but still have to actually go in and loot them as I was already loaded down to just shy of being overloaded at the time.

So I am assuming you did not keep the vaccine? Did you or a companion get bit by one of the diseased mole rats? If so check the player status page. Leaves you with -10 hp that can't be cured. It's like losing a level, so not a big deal but annoying nonetheless.

Yeah, I chose to save Austin. I'm sure I probably did get bit by a mole rat, but I couldn't find anything saying I was diseased or had -10 health.

I had Codsworth with me as my companion, and since I knew going in that I was going to face a protectron, some turrets and other fun crap, I wore my power armor during the mission, so maybe that kept me from being bit or infected. I'll have to take a closer look when I get on in a bit.

Playing the Automatron Expansion this weekend. It's not bad it's just that... well... it's a very mediocre expansion IMO. I like the concept but I find it doesn't add a lot to the game. I am excited about Far Harbour but I want to finish Automatron before beginning that adventure.

Still plugging along! I've put in 3 days and 10 hours of gameplay. I have discovered probably 65-70% of the map. Everything from Sanctuary east to Finch Farm and south to Corvega. Then around Diamond City, I've explored from Beantown Brewery to the Mass Pike, and then all the way east and north to Pickman Gallery and the sea.

So I just have left to explore the entire area between Cambridge and Bunker Hill, over around Nahant, the part of the map directly east of Saugus Ironworks (fuck those guys and their fire!), East Boston/Boston Airport, and then everything south of the Mass Pike.

Granted, that's just discovering things. I still have probably a couple dozen already discovered buildings that I have yet to actually enter and clean out of supplies.

If I remember right, I'm level 30 or 31, have started finding X-01 power armor around the National Guard Training Yard, so I have a main power armor of X-01 Mk V helmet, chest and legs, with T-51e arms, so I can hold my own pretty well in tough fights with it on.

So far, for companions, I've jumped from Dogmeat to Codsworth and am currently rolling with Strong just for his ability in battles and for his top carrying capacity. Makes it easier to clear out multiple buildings with less fast travel back to Sanctuary. Right now, between the two of us, we're able to bring back 680 pounds of loot per trip, which will increase once I start unlocking the Strong Back perk.

Probably once I get Strong Back to where I can fast travel while overencumbered, I'll switch to Piper.

I've heard Danse is good. I'll probably roll with him once I actually find him. Hell, I still have yet to complete the find Nick Valentine quest. I haven't met the BoS or Railroad yet, though I have found the church/end of the trail for Road to Freedom.

I've been primarily exploring and lately been clearing out quests for Goodneighbor. Closing in on the end of the Silver Shroud, then I'll go back and finish up Unlikely Valentine.

I have 15 different quests active right now, so those will keep me busy for a while.
