I have taken a break from the game but once they bring out the new survival mode I will make another run-through and do all the DLC. Really wish they would hurry up with the creation tools for consoles. Not expecting much but it would be nice to have a nuclear winter and other seasons. Lucky ass PC owners and the seasons project.
Just saw this article from yesterday regarding survival mode and all the other stuff.

Only save when you sleep and no fast travel. Yikes. Sign me up but I will have to get used to dying a lot.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.
Yeah I'm definitely doing to play it that way next playthrough. I just wanna go and do everything first at the current difficulty.Originally Posted by bdoughty

Wow! Would love to see seasons on console...
Fallout 4 New Survival Mode Overview
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.
Yes! LOVE IT ALL!

It's too bad you cannot toggle on and off the above features. I really like some of them but to me in a game like this, fast travel is a must.
I think it adds to the danger with enemies on your way to where you need to go.

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.
Has anyone found Gene yet? I think buying his Junkyard Dog is the key to 100% on a settlement. I've been combing the roads for him lately with no luck. Google search show that people have truly found him anywhere and everywhere.

I came across Gene in the Combat Zone.
I have spent a few hours looking for Gene to where it's become a game within the gamebut I've discovered some new areas in doing so like Covenant.

You run into the guy who wants to sell you a credit card? I assume he is a scammer but figured I should check to be sure.
Jaymo, I have some blinker fluid and it can be yours for a really cheap price. I will even cover shipping and handling.
Yeah, what machine would you swipe it on?
I told him to fuck off.

I know... I know... But just wanted to make sure it's not a secret accomplishment or something.
I did the same thing. I had plenty of caps to spare so I just bought it. Nothing happened other than losing the caps.
