Will definitely be on tonight playing
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...).Quote:

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.
Starting it up now.
Going to look through first pages on where to start out at. Going into this completely naked as to what to do lol
BD? JB? Anyone....? Can someone give me a crash course on using power. I get the power lines but I have no idea what all the conduit choices are for. What does each do? Anyone have a guide?
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.Quote:

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. :)
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.
Thanks for the answer. :up:
Yes, whatever you leave in the trash can will be there when you go back to it.Quote:

Sweet, thanks.Quote:

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

Yeah got him lastnight shortly before stopping for the night. Didn't know he could carry anything. I just got into the town part of Concord and stashed it in the trashcan there. Most of it is small stuff but I'll store it with him then if that's the case.
Yeah go to him and hit X then trade.Quote:

Oh yeah, I have Deacon decked out in my armor hand me downs :DQuote:

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.

Dogmeat is really bad around traps.

:D See what I mean. He just goes about his own business..while I'm trying to slowly walk around and assess the area. He's barking and running off and shit.
How does the perks come about? Once you up all the stars?
I saw that perk and was very tempted. I get 150 carry weight with Deacon anyways :)Quote:

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.

I used my 33 and 34 level ups to get Gun Nut 2 & 3 so I can get a quick eject drum mag on my 133 OVR shotgun. Now it has 32 in each clip! LOVE IT!
Damn it I haven't chose a single perk yet then. All I've done is choose what I wanted my level up star to be. Going to check that when I get home for lunch now lol
Those wacky Deathclaws. Only one thing scarier in the Commonwealth.
Spoiler: show

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.
I cannot get past 81% for settlement happiness in the 4 settlements I have. I'm also stuck at 18 people. However I cannot send anyone else to the settlements with 18. Is that because I have provisioners in the towns?
Population is based on your Charisma rating plus a base of 10, so 20 is the max.Quote:

Have a garden, some defense and some water pumps
I'm just now to the town of Overland.
Still find myself tip toeing around trying not to get attacked by something lol
I don't really worry about the town numbers unless there is some red.
You know there is an achievement tied to this? Who are you and what did you do with JB?Quote:

Are you able to kill the routes?
