Okay, I sent Dogmeat to Sanctuary when I got a new companion. Where the hell is Dogmeat in Sanctuary? I can find all the other party members I sent there with no problem, but I can't find Dogmeat.

 

[Kyoufu]

The only thing bothering me so far is the AI grenade spam. Sat outside of a door while an aggroed super mutant threw about twenty in a row.

Yeah, that has to be the worst thing about the AI. Grenades do a ton of damage.

Molotovs too.

 

[Chitown B]

The ease of searching/looting containers/desks/bodies is much appreciated. Such a time saver, simply scanning over them visually. Only now I often bring up my Pipboy trying to close the window like old times.

lol I do the same thing.

 

[Trace]

So either I'm terrible or I'm under leveled.

Raiders at the

power plant

are kicking my ass. I'm level 5. This is one of two quests available to me. I have shit weapons.

Use power armor + minigun.

 

[The Illiterati]

Where am I supposed to find the item gear for building?

Desk fans, typewriters, adjustable wrenches are a few possibilities I found. You can mark an item for looting as well to make it easier to find the rare ones.

Look around in the backyards of the houses, he might be sleeping in a dog house

 

[Tagyhag]

Do settlers just randomly start coming to my settlements after a while? I have extra beds/food/water but haven't seen anyone yet.

Also man, I really wish connecting wall corners wasn't such a hassle, it can look really ugly.

Question.

If I lose my power armor is there a way to track it down?

Likewise for companions (like the dog)

No idea on companions, but the last suit you wore shows up on the map:

Just a suggestion, you think you can arrange your armours in a circle, like in the Iron Man movies? Thought that would look cool too!

I might do that but I don't want to move everything again. I'll consider it for the next bunch.

The Power Armour is so damn cool. And is going to make a Tony Stark playthrough so appropriate!

Yeah the way they've done power armor in this game feels a lot better. It is a separate entity instead of sitting in your inventory like a dead weight

 

[jtar86]

I sent a companion back to sanctuary and can't find him or dogmeat. Where the hell are they?

 

[d9b]

I'm gonna rant about it in here.

THIS GAME DOES NOT HAVE SUBTITLES IN THE INTRO! :

I'm DEAF and even though my husband tells me I'm missing nothing, it STILL IRKS me like SO much. Is there a TRANSCRIPT anywhere???

EDIT: Never mind. I found this, just posting it here for others to read in case they're like me.

I support this. Intro was great and I hope Bethesda will add subtitles to it, in one of the next patches.

No you need to place a radio antenna thingie.

Also I was looking for Dogmeat after sending him back but couldn't find him either.

 

[N° 2048]

Why can't we fucking rake the leaves and bushes? They even clip through new things you place on top sometimes :|

 

[kaskade]

Finally got the game installed but I can't decide if I want to play as a male or female. I modeled them after myself and my girlfriend. I'll have to sleep on it, it's too late to make these kinds of decisions.

 

[Smushroomed]

hmm i scrapped a bunch of guns and their mods didn't show up under mod inventory

am i doing something wrong?

 

[Teknoman]

How do you get more than one power armor to sit in one location anyway? They have to have multiple power armor hangers? I had the first one you find, then ran into another near a robot disposal facility, but now i've only got the one that I found recently.

 

[MadD4mon]

You have to unequip the mods first ie replace them with standard versions. Otherwise you scrap the mods too.

 

[HamsterPackage]

Is vats not available after I get a gun? I feel stupid. Ps4 BTW.

Joined MM and BoS how to join the railroad thing?

I am totally going to do that with all the power armors.

Does anyone know which containers are safe to put my items in? I'm at sanctuary and i don't want to lose anything.

Shit, really? Damn.

 

[d00d3n]

Where is a good place to have the player stash? Transfer stuff to the workshop?

 

[Mister Megative]

Am I missing something regarding the visuals? I see people complaining that "it looks like shit". Are we playing the same game? Character models are just ok, but the world itself is gorgeous.

 

[Soulflarz]

Can't get the medical center station to say cleared

I killed everyone, searched the whole area, still no luck

I guess I'll ask- when it says cleared, is it only meaning the inside if it's a building, or the area surrounding it too? Can all areas be cleared?

Some interiors are really bad. I'm 8 hours in, loving it, my goty, but some interiors are trash.

I believe that is how many you can make with available resources.

That's the game's biggest problem when it comes to presentation, is that its graphics are so incredibly inconsistent.

 

[Zukuu]

Lol, the first legendary drop that I will be using. This literally just doubled my damage with my sniper rifle. Tho, I mainly use my 120dmg OP shotgun, I snipe in the over-world quite often due to hidden damage. It doesn't even consume extra ammo or anything, it's just double damage (same non-legendary rifle did 73 damage).

Now I need that modifier for my shotgun. lol

 

[dejay]

Is it me or are the key mapping options very limited?

I changed my movement from ASDW to SDFE like I always do, but E is always take, so I'm constantly walking up to drawers and taking clipboards and other crap. In build mode I can only walk left and backwards, which isn't great when I'm trying to scrap things.

Am I missing something or am I shit out of luck?

E is always the take shot command in Bethesda games.

 

[johnsmith]

The scrapping mechanic is going to be the death of me. Of course I spent an hour scrapping everything in sanctuary. Of course. Resisted the urge to do it in the gas station too so I could actually continue with the game.

I think i found a money making glitch, a guy in

Spoiler

vault 81

pays 75 caps for jet... I had over 200 jets from a previous mission which i immediately sold to him and now i feel like i have way too much money for this stage of the game, i'm only level 9. Maybe it's just due to the order i'm playing certain quests.

 

[Denur]

This is my first Bethesda game. I played for a few hours on PC (Ultra settings), got hooked and had to force myself to stop playing and to eat something. Installation from disc went smooth and took about 45 minutes (including the Steam update). The graphics are more than good enough to create the game's immersive atmosphere. Being more used to games like Half Life, cycling through the available weapons takes a bit getting used to. Too bad I have to work the rest of the week and can only play in the evenings.

 

[KZXcellent]

Yeah it looks like if I have a quest tied to 2 NPCs it'll break whatever the second one is. What a bummer.

I think I messed up, and have to restart my file? I really hope not, as this is my first Fallout game and I spent hours collecting/exploring and would really hate to lose my progress.

Early game spoilers:

I'm on the quest where you get the Fusion Core/Power Armor and help Preston take out the raiders. I wasn't aware of the mechanics entirely and grabbed the mini gun/power armor and went to work. After a short time I realize my P.Armor is out of energy and I'm low on mini gun ammo, only to find out that I have to kill a Death Claw. I'm level 3 and can't seem to take this thing out. Reading up online I guess the game expects you to use your Power Armor obviously, but that is no longer an option for me unless I can find another Fusion Core.

Is there any way for me to kill this Death Claw without my Power Armor? He kills me insanely fast and I've been looking for ways to get another Fusion Core but have had no luck. Am I missing something here?

Did the exact same thing. My work around was simply bait him out into the open, then run inside any of the buildings at the end of the street. He's too big to get inside with you and just keep shooting him. He'll run off eventually. Rinse repeat.
