Level 17 with some really great gear and about 40% of the map explored and I still haven't even done the first main quest story. Game is amazing so far. Having trouble finding more Power Armor parts though. Got 3 other frames with nothing on them.


Also found this sexy rifle today!

did...did you craft like a warehouse just for your power armors? :o
 
Decided to leave my stuff at Sanctuary. Only valuable things there are the Minigun and Fat-Man. If they get raided I'll be a little annoyed, but I rarely use heavy weapons anyway.

Found a brilliant pistol with a suppressor and good upgrades already attached. Shame to move on from the first one you find, but needs must :P
It was in Sully's toolbox in the quarry. Bit odd that you find out he's essentially a Raider, but it has no impact on his quest. Hope I can drain the quarry at some point to explore it properly.

Also found another suit or power armour in the wilderness, but still have no idea how to dock them or repair the broken parts.

My dream of a sniper rifle/revolver build is falling apart before my eyes, finding fuck all ammo for either.


How exactly do you Clear a location?

Dogmeat is great, but I might recruit Codworth just because
he supposedly has a quest line
 
Any good settlement building tutorials? I am having huge difficulty at building a house from scratch as most walls don't connect correctly. What sucks is that you don't get all the materials back if you scrap something you built so you end up running out of them pretty fast with all the trial and error involved

Wondering this as well. Built a small house and one guard station and then gave up after that.
 
How can one steal from a raider? o_O and why would a minutemen make a big deal about looting the enemy? haha

okay so you know how sometimes raiders have power armor? they're not inside them when you meet them, its when the combat phase starts that they go rushing to them. what happened was that i saw the armor and sprinted to it to see if I could take it and if I couldnt i was going to guard it like a dog to make sure none of them gets in it cause who likes fighting enemies in power armor? they're already bullet sponges as is. It turns out if you're quick enough you can take the armor but it counts as stealing. so the minuteman won't go inside of it and if you take any of the parts from it the minuteman throws a hissy fit cause he doesn't like stealing. Even if you put your own parts into the frame and take them out later it counts as stealing even though they were originally your legit parts.
 
no zoom button for real? makes me a sad panda :(

doesn't everyone play these games zooming at everything all the time? i thought we all did. but now i apparently can't and i'm sad and nobody else seems to care.
 
I seem to remember applying stimpacks directly to injured body parts in previous FO titles but can't seem to figure it out in FO4 any help?

I had an option in orange to ask him again why he was
draining the place up.
But i didn't know if it was anything that would change the quest. Did you get this?
 
Framerate isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

On ps4. I've only had some drops during the fight inside the car factory, only with several enemies, Molotov and the like going off. Outside of that, it's been a surprisingly stable experience. Any hiccups should be able to be patched out with only minor if not even noticeable sacrifices. Overall its great. I'm playing on hard mode so a stable frame rate is key and largely it has been.

Where can I store my armor? Especially that one from the powersuit at the beginning is very heavy.

I took it back to Sanctuary. Also the gas stations have the yellow rigs for them.

Did you guys activated the army robot near Sanctuary? What does it do?

Also, is the scrapper perk worth it?

The green one that is in the junkyard? i did, he just stayed put and told me not to bother it. i shrugged and moved on. I thought i was gonna have to fight it.
 
Is there a cooking station anywhere in Sanctuary? Can't find one anywhere, and it makes me wonder if I somehow accidentally scrapped it earlier. You can't even build one without having Local Leader 2, and the toasters that I setup keep magically vanishing.

the big black one thats in a junk yard? if so i activated it too and even selected a destination for it but it doesn't move, it just stands there. I just said fuck it and went on my merry way.

First house on the right as you enter Sanctuary from the bridge.
 
Guys a bit of a n00b question but sentry turrets and sentry guards are kicking my ass. I can't even get close. Are these possible to kill at lvl 7?

If you leave your settlement to the left, keep running and you'll go around a corner to the left. Before you get to the bridge there's a cooking station on the left.
 
Why is my generator refusing to connect to my switch? :s

Try moving the switch. My switch was kinda 'inside' the object I wanted to attach it to so there wasn't a clear path from the switch head to the generator.

Are all the companions as annoying as Dogmeat? Everytime a close a gate he runs up to it to open it.

No. He was super annoying and always in the way. I've had a few humanoid companions since him and they've all been helpful and out of the way.

Pretty much the same with me, heh.

I use grenades and molotovs. Get behind cover after you throw them. Or you can snipe them from a long distance away before they see you.

I believe that robot is very bugged.
You are supposed to give it commands in that terminal by that building. You can use it to defend nearby military bases apparently. Thing is that it's very bugged and that doesn't really work, you gotta use console commands and stuff to reset it then it carries it out. I am avoiding using console commands since I don't want to mess up achievements or anything.
 
Love that when it's Halloween in game
Diamond City has a bunch of Halloween decorations up. Very neat touch. Hope they do the same for when it's Christmas.

Also [Confidence Man quest spoilers]
I miss the old awkward Travis on the radio. Him being all confident isn't as funny. Kinda regret doing that quest so soon.

youre insane, before i found that quest i tried to see if i could get away with stealth murdering him
 
If you're talking about the
Corvega assembly plant then you want to gather up as many frag grenades and molotov cocktails as is reasonable and apply them liberally to your enemies. And there are a lot of enemies there, inside and out, and a number of turrets. Work on your throwing arm! There is also a somewhat hidden path to get inside the plant through the large pipes. This may help you avoid some enemies. Also the enemies can shoot through the grate catwalks that are everywhere.

This is about the 2nd Minutemen quest

I went there right away after helping the Minutemen get back to Sanctuary. I'm level 5 now and have cleared out what seems like every enemy but there's still apparently one or two lurking somewhere since the quest hasn't finished. I assume it's a very finite completion solely based on killing them all and there isn't some sort of item or something I've just missed?
 
Ran into a
mole rat last night that had two mines attached to it. I shot it and killed it when it jumped at me, but it blew me up and I was so confused. I thought I stepped on a mine / shot one on the ground or something. When I respawned I noticed it actually had mines attached to itself and I flipped a shit and immediately ran away only for it to take a shortcut around a building and kamikaze me again
. This game is awesome for those little moments you'd never expect lmao.

Did you get the
Deathclaw
?
 
Is the perk (forget the name) that gives you 20% extra damage for non automatic rifles worth it? (Increases if you keep adding to it as well) debating dropping some into it as I feel completely weak even with my upgrades guns at level 10 so far in combat. Also, does it apply to shotguns?
 
There is a 100% bar under. You have to plant like 10 plants i think. Of one of the ones that they suggest. I went with the widely popular TATOS. Also, your quest could be bugged.

Do you know what I have to do for the next step? The defense one?

I got into defenses and build some, but the bar just doesn't progress and I don't have or know where to get the circuitry and other components for the turrets.

I placed a barracks, and two turrets next to it right in front of the bridge to Sanctuary. That cleared the quest for me. I didn't have to add anything to it.

Ah. this is good to know. I was tempted in using control command to set my carry weight limit to something that doesn't over burden me all the time.
 
I like the gameplay, characters and environment designs a lot so far, the only thing grinding my gears is diamond city. I may have to mod it myself in creation kit to be 10x larger. Wish I could find that post about Skyrim village sizes and the 150m mountain
