Perks I want the most are
Armorer, Locksmith, Aquaboy, Local Leader, and Science.
S - 3
P - 4
E - 5
C - 6
I - 6
A - 2
L - 2
I just don't know if Aquaboy will be worth it.

That it is. Too bad it didn't apply to pipboys though.

Some people are getting it for $35 because Amazon accidentally game three Prime savings discounts.
Find fresh pack of Duracell batteries.
Really, find fresh batteries (Fusion Cores).

Shows in cart.
If you have prime, and has to be a console version, add it to your cart and get to the confirm order page.
Don't have the game, but i heard you need a powercell which will drain with usage.
You can still use the armor when it's empty, but it'll be slow.

BTW, we still don't have confirmation what Shotguns will fall under, Rifleman or Heavy Weapons?
Seems like a lot of people want to go down Endurance to get to the aquaboy perk. Will definitely be interesting to see if there is any substantial underwater exploration or benefits for grabbing it.

Dude I agree.. Aquaboy being END 5 is really messing up the build I want. According to other Gaffer's there's a good amount of water in the game so I'm stuck with going for End 5.

And how do I charge it ? Do I only need to have it in the inventory ?
Niiice
Have a Pip Boy Edition coming in but the thirst to play at midnight is too real. Trying to offload that key and get a digital copy for tomorrow, haha.
Afaik armor uses Fusion Cores automatically / straight from your inventory as long there is any left.

What kind of build would you recommend for playing survival difficulty? Does it matter?

Wow the PS4 preload came down in a few hours for me! I was like 
since usually it takes 5hrs to get a 2gb update lol.
since usually it takes 5hrs to get a 2gb update lol.I've just been using NukaHub. Just mouse over the attribute and perk names to get info.
Challenge will come more from management of your resources [HP, food, stimpacks, ammo...] than from what perks you have. I think all builds that would be viable on e.g. normal will be viable on survival, you just have to be more careful in general. It will get easier after few levels and when you get geared up.

Wow, I never knew this wtf. It $45 for me since I work at Amazon. Thanks!
Currently looking at:
S: 3
P: 4
E: 1
C: 3
I: 4
A: 6
L: 7
Basically trying to build a stealth character that can craft standard weapons/armor and unlock/hack. I might move a few stat points around depending on how soon I can get bobbleheads but I'm pretty set on this at the moment. Hopefully I don't regret missing out on some high level charisma perks, but I plan to travel alone.

I'm sure it'll be possible for non-Aquaboys to explore underwater. Respirators and such.
Fallout rarely forces you into a particular playstyle. (Although it often rewards such.) If it did, it would be impossible to role play.
Failed your speech check? No worries, that's what the guns are for!

I always used Gopher's Advanced Recon mod, it'd give you an underwater breathing apparatus. I'll bet by the time I start my 2nd play through he'll have made an equivalent but..
Fuck it, if it turns out to be bunk oh well.
Heard early stealth will be tough as fuck, keep that in mind.

Ok sounds good, I was afraid that STR and critical would be a requirement.
I don't feel very confident in my build however, will it suffice?

So are we able to customize the wife even if we don't use her? I'd like to customize both of them because why not.

Lead Belly would be a must. Getting health back from food and drinks without radiation poisioning would be absolutely necessary. And maybe Chem Resistance. Taking Jet and Buffout without getting addicted would be pretty useful.
I think so. I've seen the character creator being used on both and then you select one or the other. Not certain though.

Without spoiling you, Charisma will be highly useful.

I'll work on her because why not. I'm always curious as to what type of female character I'd make. I'll still go with the male to continue the legend of Alphonse Bino.
Yes,the usual dude at streamcountry is streaming,playing as female char but thats about the only thing that might be interesting seeing as hes messing around with console commands
Guards rockin those Boston accents
The guy yesterday was an idiot and thought this guy would be better, but this guy seems to be equally worse. Better than nothing though, especially if I mute it, so thanks!
Modding... Modding never changes!

Yup. Todd Howard said you can customize both characters and that you play as whoever you are customizing when you leave the character creation screen.
Why Int 9? Also I would consider Str 3 for Armorer perk, to get those armor mods.
Unofficial OT's are new hotness.
OT goes up tomorrow morning early, I think Ninja said 10AM CET.
Nice, I really think I'm going to be insane and just drop all my points into it.
OTs don't happen until official release day anymore.
Are you already playing on PC? I'm still looking for someone who knows how to downsample to show some good PC shots.
Day of release.

Reasons for Charisma in F4
The Charisma tree is actually insane.
Initially, I didn't have much in Charisma because I just shrugged and thought the following
"Skills for my dog? Meh, whatever, I'll probably use humans and not care much about the dog."
"Shops in my settlements? Meh, whatever, why do I need more shops? I can find stuff to buy at other places."
"Turn enemies passive and potentially protect me etc? Meh, whatever, if you're good you shouldn't need the help." (oh how little did I know... Survival mode is laughing at me atm)
A) The dog is ridiculously powerful. I have had plenty of moments of jaw-dropping and saying, holy shit my dog is actually a terminator sent back in time to fuck up post-apocalyptic bandits for me. And when you skill him up, he can get nutty. Watching Dogmeat single-handedly skullfuck an enemy while you just sit and watch smiling is one of the most rewarding elements of this game, IMHO
B) The shops aren't "just" shops, they generate revenue for you depending on how big your settlements are and once you're running a steady network of settlements and pulling survivors in constantly, you make bank on this. Think Assassin's Creed style passive income, with the initial set-up cost paying for itself ten times over eventually. This feels a lot like that, it may be one of the highest reward-per-point-spent skills in the game.
C) I cannot even begin to tell you how pointing a gun to shoot at something, only to have it suddenly stop rushing you, and then actually turn around and attack his friends instead can just instantly shift the course of a fight. It is a-b-s-u-r-d when it goes off at the perfect times.
Trust me, don't ignore the Charisma tree. Don't make my same mistake. Many levels of leveling it up later in the game in regret did not make me happy, every level up is a huge deal.
I'll write up some other tips when I get a chance post-BlizzCon because I feel like there are a lot of things I'd do differently starting from scratch knowing what I know now, but for now this is my big one.
PS. Once we have maps and guides on where to find the Charisma Bobbleheads, this obviously won't be as big of a deal. Right now, I'm playing without them (and probably would anyway, ...probably... ...maybe) so I don't have that luxury. I suppose you could plan for +2-3 Charisma once those are available. Either way, plan for +1 Perception right away because the first Bobble you find is in a very, very obvious spot very early in the game, and it's a +PER Bobble.
