No issues here, over 6 hrs in. A few frame rate drops here and there, but nothing like I've seen in the DF articles.
That wasn't my screenshot, but it can drop from raider dogs.
I did find this video that shows where to get some armor for him:

It's safe to store weapons and apparel in the workshop right?
Yeah, I did. That's weird. I guess I'll do something else for the moment.
It runs perfectly fine on Xbox one for me -- using a 7200rpm drive though. I'm sure there are dips here and there but nothing that has stood out or broken my immersion
Couldn't you just take the power supply out and then no one can steal it?
I modded a double barrel shotgun as best I could last night. It takes most feral ghouls out with 1 shot on hard, but I'm running out of ammo for it after coming across a few too many groups of them.
Really considering dumping dogmeat. His barking and random disappearing acts are driving me nuts. Plus it sends my dog into a fit. Only other option is codworth. Worth it? I really enjoy having him as a mule though since im a hoarder and only have 3 strength and no strongback perk.
Thoughts?

Loving Codsworth here. He tells jokes, provides water, and is a fucking raider slayer. Dude's great!
What? you are waiting for a crop to give out a veggie?
I thought the mission just asked you to make a few plants until a meter on the bottom left is filled out. I think i planted 10 Tato plants and it marked that objective as done.
Codsworth can also be a mule. For me he's been ridiculously strong, solo tanking a bunch of ghouls despite being on hard.

Power armor can be stolen? Cooool.
That's one thing I was wondering, when I heard 'Oh you can leave your power armor in the wasteland and it'll be there later!' I thought, "Hmm...why wouldn't a raider want to go in and steal it? That's stupid."
Glad to hear it can be stolen.

I just killed 2 legendary enemies and for some reason the game wouldn't let me loot their bodies... quite frustrating.

So I've just done
and I've started
so I want to know if I
.
Also I've done the quest at
, when do I get the next quest for this line?
Synth Retrevial
The bunker hill battle quest
need to do this quest to continue in the main story then get the option to choose my side
Also I've done the quest at
the castle
This needs to be shown here. hahahaha
Unlimited.
Playing on survival mode is brutal, but I love the challenge. On one quest inside a building., I ran into 3 legendary and a boss whom all could kill me in 2 hits. And, let's not even talk about how much HP they have. To have enough bullets, my only option was sneak attack, run / hide and repeat.

I'm so glad i'm not the only one that heard this. It really threw me off at first.
Because I have no seeds, I wait for the plants to pop out fruit so I can plant those. I don't know where to find others.
Right where you talk to the robot, the is a little round circle clue, you have to note the number (the first of 8), press to activate a little sentence, then just follow the red line, it can be a little tricky to find it.
Just go to the neighbors that have the Tato fields. I forgot the name. Just grab all of them Tators and plant them.
Oh snap. Where are they located?
Does that mean he or she will shoot unlimited nukes?
He can't.
Where can I recruit that companion?
Also, does anyone know at what point I can recruit

Good question...
aw man did I just fuck up a quest?
so back at the start of the game when you do the quest with the Brotherhood of Steel guy (not gonna spoiler tag that, its 2 hours into the game, and saying the brotherhood of steel is in a fallout game is like saying diablo is the boss in a diablo game tbh), he gives you a chance to join them as usual, I said I'd think about it and Ive had a quest to go back to the police station for like 20 hours now because I was afraid it would interfere with the minutemen stuff.

so now I just did the stuff with Nick in Fort Whatever, killed the dude that kidnapped Shaun, and when I exit Fort Whatever, there is a HUGE ASS BROTHERHOOD BLIMP flying above with a bunch of helicopters, with a new military signal that says "all BoS personel report back to the police station" and gives me a new quest to go talk to the dude at the police station. So did I pass the point where I could do that first quest to join them, seeing as they are reving up for...something aparently?
go do the radio signal quest that a guy is asking for help in a tower for Strong
So, after deciding which of the 15 Fallout 4 threads to continue posting in, here is Today's Joeboy's Pros & Cons:
Pro - Enemies & Difficulty
This sound similar to other Fallout 3 veterans' thought processes when playing?
"Oh look. Some ghouls. Well, I'll give them a fighting chance to get closer while I chose which weapon to wield for annih-OHGODFUCKGETITOFF!!!!111!"
Previously in Fallout, and Bethesda games in general, enemies are pretty cumbersome, lackluster, and generally boring. True to the term of bullet sponges, rarely did they require strategy, cunning, or even guise of caution. Now? Oh ho, now, its another ballgame. I decided to try on Normal to start with and I am REALLY glad I did as the new normal in Fallout is a lot more difficult than Fallout 3. What makes it great too is not that the enemies are super tough now, but more than anything, they are fast.
From ghouls to mongrels to those fucking soft shell Mirelurks (aim UNDER the shell, locational damage is in the game), enemies' speed has improved to the point that you have to decide, and quickly, the actions you are going to take. This has been coupled with making them quieter and the music not immediately move into combat mode. This gives them a couple of second jump unless you are being real observant.
Its very strange because, where Fallout 3 felt like enemies were sprinkled everywhere, they seem more sparse in 4, but are far deadlier. This is all REAL good news though as it makes combat more challenging, more exciting, and more rewarding without going cheap with just require more direct hits on them (See: Dragon Age 2 for a prime example).
Con - Dialogue
I gave it time, was open-minded, but that dialogue system is not working. And I don't think its the wheel's fault. To keep the Bioware comparison going, they achieve strong results with the wheel. Problem with Bethesda's go at it is the options fail to even sporadically convey the results. Rarely did I run into instances in Mass Effect where my chosen line did not match up with tone, but has happened a few times with me so far in FO4. Too often, they just go with a one word option, or even just Yes, No, Maybe that just cheapens it in general.
Let's be honest: Bethesda has never been good with dialogue. I'm all for them trying new things to IMPROVE their systems, dialogue included. But this doesn't improve the system and, frankly, doesn't streamline it either. Instead you sit there wondering about what your options will entail, befuddled.
Overall - Still loving it, the atmosphere, the base building, the exploration, and the combat so far. GOTY? Probably not, but I'm not even in the realm of regretting my purchase.

Alrighty Gaf. What's a good build for a Power Armor play threw? What should be the focus perks and what my specials should look like?
Is anyone even doing a Powe Armor run?

Abernathy Farm
Abernathys and get the locket quest.
Companions only have unlimited ammo for their default weapon, if you equip them with another weapon you need to provide ammo for it too, and it does run out.
Okay, so I'm officially balls deep with this game...
19 hours. Level 20. I went with a 9 Charisma, 9 Intelligence character with a view to finding the corresponding Bobbleheads. I just like talking my way out of fights when the opportunity arises. I've avoided main story stuff until this play session and I've just met
and gone after
.
Thus far, I'm really enjoying this game but there's no denying this is a Bethesda game. They definitely haven't turned over a new leaf with their game design. Which is fine, by the way.
Okay, a few gripes/questions.
Is it me or is the radio mostly just ripped off from FO3 and New Vegas? I know they're classics and they're trying to invoke the same nostalgia but I want new songs to fall in love with.
I specifically levelled the armour and weapon modding skills because I wanted to get into that but it feels like I never have to components. Anyone else having this issue?
Anyone else think this game is too bright and colourful? I miss the green and yellow hazes of FO3 and New Vegas respectively. I know nuclear storms can blow in but they're uncommon and just aren't the same.

Find some of the build areas in the game and scrap all the stuff that's in them. You'll have plenty of materials to build new weapons and armor. You can also scrap some gear for some of the rarer materials.

was really loving this game but I think i'm done with it due to the assigning resources mess. I can create and place my water pump; however I can't assign anyone to do.
Any help or ideas?
BTW, I know i'm very early in the game.
