Did they get rid of waiting?

No, you just need to sleep or sit on a chair

 

[Arjen]

How often are you guys using the power armor after the first time you get it? I keep forgetting I have it stored at my base even though I have a good supply of cores at this point. Probably would have made some of the tougher encounters I've experienced so far pretty trivial.

Only once in a mission full of mirelurkers, there was one standing there at the start so I thought might as well.
I'm playing a sneaky character so power armor doesn't really seem fitting.

Just sold my minigun 😯 are they hard to find? I haven't had ammo since that first deathclaw fight

 

[Beelzebufo]

No, you just need to sleep or sit on a chair

So yes haha

 

[marrec]

I've found 2 others since that first Deathclaw fight.

 

[SocksAndShoes]

So yes haha

No he means the options to wait appears once you sit down.

 

[Flying Toaster]

I have found one and a store has one so you should be fine.

I am swimming I cores though I have 10 at the moment

 

[TheAssist]

hmmpf, played the game for 10 hours so far and it already froze my PC two times.

never change bethesda, never change ...

I have around 4000 ammo for the minigun. You can find the ammo pretty easy.

[Lashley]

So yes haha

So no

The option to wait appears as you sit.

Waiting from anywhere has been removed, yes.

 

[33-Hit-Combo]

Is the fusion core you put in out of juice? or is the person dead in the frame? you can't take the frame if somebody died in power armor.

Oh what! No way

All the hoarding and needing to store supplies makes it really hard not to abuse fast travel.

I usually avoid fast travel in open world games but I'm finding it hard here because it seems like I'll eventually need everything I pick up.

 

[BLunted]

Does anyone else feel like guns don't do any damage at all? I'm a level 11, normal difficulty, and I have about 15 different weapons but none of them do any damage.

It definitely feels like there is some MMO syle RNG in this game. I abandoned a 20 hour game due to the same thing you ran in to. I was getting nothing but crappy pipe weapons. I started a new build that has 10 luck, and have gotten better drops off the bat. I dont know if that is coincidence or not. I dont have gun nut or science perk yet, but now I am drops with mods that I am not even able to craft myself.

 

[FartOfWar]

Once you have Bobbleheads how to do activate them? Do you need to place them somewhere? If so, how?

 

[vgamer1]

On PS4, running into a glitch where I turn invisible while crouching (kinda looks like stealth boy), and it renders my pip-boy useless.

 

[Steiner84]

ok, when and where will i be able to trade? Im at tenpines and me, codsworth and the dog are packed full. i need to get rid of the stuff!

 

[Beelzebufo]

No he means the options to wait appears once you sit down.

So they got rid of the option to wait at any time, which is what I was asking. Resting is different.

 

[Kamina777]

You listen to AM radio?


I like the radio fella. He sounds scared and depressed and a bit reserved which is a nice contrast to the usual radio personalities we get.

Back when it was one of the better options, yes. He doesn't sound depressed though i'm sure he's supposed too, he has a very modern passive sarcastic tone that doesn't fit with the vibe of the world, I stopped listening to the radio altogether because of him.

All the hoarding and needing to store supplies makes it really hard not to abuse fast travel.

I usually avoid fast travel in open world games but I'm finding it hard here because it seems like I'll eventually need everything I pick up.

I excuse it by limiting myself to only fast traveling back to a workshop to dump my junk and then running back out from there.

It's just an excuse though lol

You know you can store items at the workbench right.

 

[antitrop]

You can build a Bobblehead Storage Case in your settlements, but I think it's just for show. Pretty sure the Bobbleheads activate just from picking them up.

 

[Blitzrules240]

Yeah they are radiant quests

Damn...so I guess I can stop doing them eventually and move on to Diamond City. I figured there would be a cap or something.

 

[arts&crafts]

Found a distress signal.

Spoiler

Has anyone located the guy saying he is stuck at Fiddler's Green Trailer Estates? I really wish the game would allow you to view subtitles on radio broadcasts. He says "stuck in a ___" and I can't understand what the hell he is saying. Sounds like bunkery. People using distress signals have little broadcasters beside them, right? edit, damn nevermind I finally found it. Hidden very well. I wonder what else is hidden in these little areas like this.

I got that distress signal too but couldnt find the place. Is it close to where the signal can be found? I wish they added a quest or updated your map when stuff like that happens.

Dude, give me a hint or five on where to go. I gave up looking for that dude after about 10 or 15 minutes of searching.

 

[PapaEmeritus]

Wait, how do you pick up things like that? I'm using a 360 controller btw.

This was exactly why I loved Dying Light

Ya, shooting the oxygen tanks on the back of those zombies in the yellow suits never got old.

I broke into a train station so that may be it. By Lexington I think

 

[TheBez]

I love how you find power armor randomly in the wild
Feels really rewarding

I found a lake with a downed jet in it and decided to go for a swim. A few steps under the water and voila, theres just a suit of power armor.

 

[Calderc]

Where the hell does Dogmeat go when you send him back to Sanctuary? Wee fuck has tons of my loot and I cant find him anywhere!

 

[Dad]

What's it mean when an enemy mutates during combat?

 

[WhiskeyKnight]

The one I found activated automatically when I picked it up.

 

[gabrielt16]

They become legendary. Happened to me with a ghoul. It mutated into legendary glowing ghoul.

 

[WhiskeyKnight]

He's in a dog house at the very back of town.

The dog house is behind the wrecked building at the far end of the circle drive.

 

[Steiner84]

yeah, uh, no.
didnt know that. but, still, where can i trade? or rather, how long will it take to find a trader?

 

[Neverfade]

The quest to go to Diamond City is pretty early. There's traders there.

 

[antitrop]

They become legendary. Happened to me with a ghoul. It mutated into legendary glowing ghoul.

Huh, when it happens to me they're already Legendary. The mutation just seems to be recharging its health bar like it was a WWF game on the NES.

 

[Arjen]

yeah, uh, no.

There are a couple of traders pretty close to the starting area.

 

[NoSkillz187]

Is there a way to mark a house as mine? Like have no one else try to sleep in my bed? Or maybe I should just make one house at the movie theater with no food?

Is this possible?

 

[brokenbeans]

How's the toughness perk?

Idiot Savant is nice 4 INT for me.

 

[Chuck]

i really hate the way the settlements look in this. no matter what you do it just looks like garbage glued to more garbage.

 

[Arcipello]

ill just leave this here

the relevant gun perks are pretty essential here. That and/or getting good weapon mods is key to keeping up in terms of damage, I feel.

That being said, yes, having better luck will randomly get you higher quality weapon drops.

thanks guys

Yeah, this is how it's been happening to me too -- they also seem to start glowing? I'm not sure if that affects their abilities at all but the health recharge is the main way the mutation fucks you over.

 

[hobblygobbly]

Anyone know of the significance of these particular non-interactable objects?:

Spoiler

monkeys with the cymbals that clap and eyes flash when you near it? I see them now and then and can't interact with them. They're kind of creepy.

 

[Mr. F]

Yeah I kind of wish there was more aesthetic options than ramshackle post-apocalyptic, kind of takes the wind out of the idea of rebuilding/starting anew. A newly built wall from proper gathered materials shouldn't always look like it's full of holes/falling apart.

 

[aravuus]

They become legendary. Happened to me with a ghoul. It mutated into legendary glowing ghoul.

They're already legendary before mutating.

 

[Sloane_Ranger]

Anyone who has gone further into the game ... are there settlements with better 'real estate' than Sanctuary and Red Rocket .. bigger plots / more resources / etc ... just wondering peoples thoughts before I go even crazier than I have at the Red Rocket building stuff ...

 

[Laughing Banana]

Yo... what's the deal with stupid settlers sleeping on MY bed in MY house that I built. I legit stared at that idiot for a good 20 seconds contemplating on rewarding her stupid ass with a shotgun to the face, sleeping on my bed like that :/
