I can't decide whether or to get this or just replay New Vegas. I realize that the RPG systems (leveling and dialogue) and writing are probably not up to NV levels but I tried to replay New Vegas earlier this year and found it be cumbersome and maybe a bit outdated in character control.
Can anyone maybe clue me in to how movement and combat feels compared to NV? Does it control better? I'm really on the fence for this one.

Oh, no worries man. It took me a while to figure out too. Wish there was a better system to find companions.
It ain't funny man! Luckily I managed to recover the helmet and a fuckin leg before they were destroyed. Fuck you Garvey!

I was hating the settlement feature as its too much of a time sink to get enough parts to make something worthwhile.
Until I found unlimited supplies mod(bat file) and now I'm addicted to making the most bad ass forts I can dream up. I can make the treehouse I always wanted as a kid.
Unrelated. I love having high stealth and pickpocket perks and stealing the power core right out of someone in power armor. They're forced to get out of it. I took one out of a BoS and he was forced out of the suit and was essentially walking around in his undies holding his chaingun.

Can anyone tell me what armor this is on the main protagonist?
it's from the main storyline

The combat control is damn near perfect in comparison to f3/nv. If you're accepting of fewer RPG elements then you'll enjoy it.

Haha I gave him that too but he still gets wrecked. Playing on hard, by the way.
can't you just give him something else and equip it?
you get more xp I guess

So...I'm terrible at this game, or I'm playing it wrong. Never played a Fallout game before, but I have played Skyrim and Oblivion.
That being said...I die all the damn time. I keep running into enemies that seem over powered for me. I have very basic weapons but limited ammunition. For example, I'm trying to clear the Veteran's Military Cemetery for one of the minute men missions. Get to what I think is the last room and get pulverized. I'm level 8 and have dumped points into endurance.
Are there some good places to go for early game weapons or armor that can help me out?

Pop one before turning in a mission, INT still increases the amount of EXP you earn.
You probably need to start crafting. I turned a like 14 dmg pistol into a 37 dmg pistol with better accuracy. You can double your armor pretty easily by upgrading it as well. Make sure you put on armor like legs and arms that go over the top of something like your default Vault Suit.
It won't let me equip any piece of armor except power. It has to be a way to make him get out like a command but I don't see it. Fuckin hilarious anyway. Sometimes I wish I could take out his fusion core and leave him in the wasteland.

Can you not? I take fusion core from BoS all the time, forcing them out. Not sure about companions. Can you ask to trade and just pull it out?
You turn them into Grapemenats that boost charisma by 5 and laugh at charisma checks and sell the rest of the useless drugs (apart from Psycho).

Guys, please help! I unlocked the Local Leader Perk but have no idea how to connect supply lines between two settlements. How does this work? Thanks!

If you have it on PC Project Nevada mod makes the controls and shooting a lot better. 4, in comparison to NV, is a pretty big step back from an RPG system stand point.
Look at a settler in build mode and press Q/equivalent console key on PC.
Workshop mode hover over an NPC and there will be a supply line option in the UI at the bottom.
I'm slow catching up on this thread so if this has been answered sorry, but I found one last night. Follow the Minutemen quest line (from your cowboy hat bro in Sanctuary) and two settlements in you get sent to a boathouse on a lake. There's a trap inside the shed next to it that disarms to a combat shotty.

In my opinion, I think Project Nevada is a must have for New Vegas. It doesn't change the core systems, but it enhances what's there and adds a few nice extras.
I wish the slow-no feature tied to your AP from Project Nevada was a part of F4. I hate having to pop pills to get that feature. Soon enough I suppose.

You can be lucky it was only a combat shot gun. I once ran into a

I know when armor gets destroyed when I wear it, it shows up in my own inventory. That's a bummer if it's gone. Can you give him a new outfit to switch to?
You probably have to remove him as a companion and go into sneak mode and try and pick pocket him to get the Fusion Core.
So are Fusion Cores rare or in limited supply? Up til now I've avoided using my my Power Armor, but I have 3 full fusion cores and a partially used one. Does it make any sense at all to find a location, fast travel back to get my armor, wreck shit, then bring it back home? Or am I setting myself up for harder times later if I use it up now.
Gauss Rifle's use energy, sure. But they fire projectiles

I wasted so much damn resources when I was building my fortress yesterday. Trying to figure out what peices do what and I kept scrapping pieces I didnt use not knowing I get less back when I scrap it. Basically wasted all my steel and wood. Dammit.
I might reload an older save. Not sure If I even want to build it in Sanctuary. Thinking I might go for the Drive in theatre. I think I got the building mostly figured out now. Now I gotta play around with the power sources.

As a general rule for fun, if you ever hear gunshots in downtown Boston, go towards them. Wrapped up last night with a 20-minute war between the Brotherhood, some Gunners, and some super mutants that had vertibirds and mininukes falling out of the sky. Some of the most fun I've had with the game so far.
Maybe I'm wrong but Gauss Rifles is a proyectile based weapon.

I only use the armor for tough jobs.
I'd say use it however you like. I didn't because I wasn't sure about how bountiful FCs are and figured it better to conserve them, but now I have like 5 full suits and almost 30 FCs. So it's not that bad.
Plus if you get Pickpocket you can apparently steal them from BoS and other PA'd enemies and NPCs, as well as buy them from vendors. So if you like PA use it. I wouldn't necessarily explore with it on, but I wouldn't be afraid to use them now rather liberally otherwise.

I barely used my Power armor and saved up about 10 but there is a point in the game where you are going to want it for one of the later missions because of some radiation. It took me about 2 and a half cores to complete the mission. So to be on the safe side I would keep 2 handy.
Lame. This is one change that I don't like. Chems don't seem nearly as useful now.

Won't use it myself. Besides, it seems a bit of a hassle.

I know it is, but in previous games it fell under Energy Weapons. It uses magnetic fields to propel a 2mm metal ball.

Lower your INT the better, but it does work. It's random. Been a God send for me though.

When you gain experience, vault boy will appear at the bottom of the screen with a hilarious goofy laugh.
Its the best when it happens at he end of the mission. I've watched me go up 2 whole levels more than once because of it.
