A tip for when your weight starts creeping up with only default items. Build a storage container next to the place you craft weapons. Crafting modes sit in your inventory and over time eat up some weight (should be a 0 weight but for some reason it is 0.5 for every new thing you craft). Dump them in the storage when you do not need it and add it to inventory when you
Finally had my first mission get completely glitched for no reason whatsoever. It's not a Bethesda game until you get that first broken mission.
Question: when I unload my loot/transfer do I have to go back to that same spot to get all that stuff or will it still be in my inventory if I go to a workbench somewhere else?
Early on, you'll have to go back to the same spot. Eventually though, as part of settlements, you can set up routes for your settlers so that all of your supplies are available at any settlement you have a route for.Quote:

I personally prefer a stealth/sniper approach. Whenever I get to an area that I think has enemies, I'll crouch-walk so that I can get the drop on them. Doing that, you get additional damage for any enemies that don't see you. If you can get a long range sniper with a silencer, you can often pick off an entire group without them ever finding you. FYI, manually sniping while holding your breath is better than using VATS.Quote:

Drop down the difficulty, you take less damage and give out more damage. You are new to the series and there is nothing wrong with dropping it down and bringing it back up later.
Yeah I might do that and pick up the strategy guide. I noticed there are no difficulty related trophies either so :plat: on Very Easy here I come. :nod:Quote:

I'm starting to build up the community at the Starlight Drive-In a little better...I put a wire fence around the heavy radiation area in the middle of the parking lot :D I also built a house that holds 6 or 8 beds.
As for Sanctuary, I wish I could put a lock on my door, that bum from Diamond City sleeps in my bed!
Ran into him a few weeks ago, was a nice surprise, until he started speaking. Sent him to Sanctuary to hang out will all the other companions I sent there. Not using them with this character. They tend to be more of a nuisance than help.
Regarding that heavy radiation area.
Spoiler: show
Regarding the bed
Spoiler: show
Ahhh very cool. Thanks! I thought it would be more fun to put a fence around it to where when you walk the parameter, you won't get any rads :D
I sent him to Sanctuary too :D
Regarding the old lady at Sanctuary....
Spoiler: show
Got a gift card from HHGregg for furniture delivery.
Not buying a TV just yet so may use it on either this game or Starwars....hmm

It's tricky since the game does not tell you what characters are already doing, if anything, Also you could be taking them off something important like working crops and thus dropping the food supply. I tend to use only settlers and provisoners (you can borrow the caravan leaders to run a store if you catch one coming through town) but the companions and the original guys you save are really glitchy when it comes to working stores. Also when you do get one up running with a worker, check your workbench (transfer) every so often to collect profits.
One little thing I have been working on. You probably already know you can build a pool table. By itself it is kind of a lonely looking thing but you can also collect all the different balls, cues and sticks. Just drop them on the table, from the junk section and you can press and hold the object to move it around. It would have made a neat achievement to collect everything and get it on the table. Still missing three balls but I have a nice little billiards room with all the bobbleheads I find and a couple racks full of the magazines you collect. Need to add a bar but I made the building too small.
So many little things in this game make it great. I really hope they do plan on extending the settlements/objects/etc as part of the DLC. It's a great little addition to the game. Go do mission, come back to home base, build a little something, rinse, repeat.
I did all that and days later no one is manning it. I wonder if I store it in the "warehouse" and put it back out there it'll do the trick? I dunno.Quote:

Well I have COD for multiplayer and my "play something different" other than sports games fix lol.Quote:

Speaking of which...you ready to get back on the TGC grind yet! :D. I'm ready to get some rounds in against you
Just to make sure, you did physically build the store or are you talking about the one that already exists in The Castle? You have to have the Local Leader perk x 2 to build them and have people run them.

If you see me on just hit me up and I will stop playing Fallout and hit the links. Have not touched it in some time and still have only an hour or so with Rory. Still need to play NBA2K16 and NHL16 for the first time. Fallout 4 is just eating up all my time and I need to take some breaks from it.
Yeah I physically built the store in Sanctuary and have the perk.Quote:

Anytime you post and image from the URL below it does not show up for me. It shows to be png but is the extension "webp" some kind of image format from google. Maybe it only shows up in certain browsers, Firefox not being one of them.

It's a direct image url from Google Plus since Imgur is blocked at work.
What do you do with armor when not wearing the power armor? Go piece by piece? Or I got this Cage Armor real early in the game that has 24 and 27 for damage resistance.

Answered my own question. Found a nice piece of chest armor and combine the rest of the pieces, it was much more protection than the cage armor.

Here's the first house I built. Nothing too fancy. Once I beat the game I might go all Bob Villa on Sanctuary.

When doing the regular armor, I always go piece by piece. Much higher damage protection but can make you look a bit foolish early on with some of the raider combos available.Quote:

Power Armor only when absolutely necessary and sucking down chems/booze with Cait as we try to destroy the world and obviously, all of our brain cells.
Will try to get a youtube of my setup.
When scavenging what does the magnifying glass next to the item name mean?
With the home base and collecting materials, I pick up almost anything :D especially with oil or screws.

When you are out of an item, you can click a button to have it show up for research. Meaning there is a magnifying glass next to researched materials you find, to help you decide what needs to be picked up and put in your junk inventory.
I did this with a low level character so it needs a lot of work but it sports a basketball arena, the middle section is my Minecraft-esque inventory station and finally my house (minus any beds to keep out any of the NPC's).
Change it to 720p for HD.

My big complaint right now, as it was with Skyrim are the "radiant quests." Each faction has them where you save someone, get some tech, clear out an area, etc. The one that is most annoying me right now is the Minutemen. Three times in a row I received a kidnapping report from Abernathy Farms. All three times Mr. Abernathy's daughter was kidnapped. At some point Mr. Abernathy needs to consider locking her ass up because the Raiders seem to have some sort of "Big Lebowski" thing going with her. I just finish the quests and never turn them, to avoid Preston Garvey from giving out even more quests. Some of these are time sensitive and failure leads to unhappiness or damages at the settlement. At least with the BOS you can just say you are not ready for another mission. Really wish I could stop "random settlement is being attacked." Half the time I never see it pop up on the screen. Those are all timed and failure results in a settlements crops being knocked down and most of your defenses need to be repaired.
Just finished the Silver Shroud quest and is easily the best one I have played so far. I wish more quests were this detailed.
Thanks for the shareplay opportunity last night BD. Game was a blast to play. Definitely on my radar now. Never thought I would be building a basketball court in post apocalypse USA...
It was fun watching someone else learning the game.
