Probably not nearly as far long in the game as most of you probably are, but holy shit, I just had my first
Suicide Bomber
Super Mutant encounter at the
Water Plant after discovering the Mr. Handy greenhouse/garden
.

Damn this game is so good.
 
Ever get the scarab gun in Halo 2? It's like a mini version of that.

I don't think I discovered the second location you just mentioned, but I did clear the first, holy balls was that crazy at level 7.
 
I'm just trying to get into building my settlement. Am I supposed to enhance pre-existing structures, or build my own from scratch? Trying to add to one seems to be... finicky, and I don't want to waste a ton of supplies only to have it not work.
 
Noticed that Elder Maxon's voice seemed familiar. Sounds like Mr. Jefferson from Life is Strange and it turns out it is the same voice actor! Derek Phillips is his name.

12 hours in and this is how I feel about the game entirely.

Combat especially is really awful(at least on Survival diff.). I was hoping for a tactical challenge, not "Point-blank pray 'n spray while backpeddling!" Way too many engagements that are pure attrition as enemies close distance with insane speeds(and are mostly melee focused). I can barely even switch to a proper close quarters weapon using the quick menu by the time many of these things are clipping through my character model and hacking away(from my initial prone 'stealth' hit). The only real upgrade to AI from FO3 is that Super Mutants and Raiders love tossing grenades/molotovs with the same impunity as Call of Duty now... (well, the MGS-esque stealth awareness states work better than before at least).

Maybe I need to embrace the stupidity of it all and just lower it down a bit(like the gifs I see of dumb violence). I fear I am stuck between just blowing everything to hell with ease or dealing with the turgid and occasionally frustrating mess that is Survival. As an RPG, this is just the worst.

At least the exploration and quests still have me somewhat engaged and curious, but Bethesda has given us better in that department too from what I have seen and done so far.

Makes sense that you should practice retreat on a high difficulty. In order to counteract hard enemies, I plant mines and use other preparatory weapons at my disposal. I also like to be stealthly in my encounters, overall I'm not having a hard time with the combat on survival. I enjoy it on this difficulty and I think the AI is a big improvement over the previous games.

So far I've found three settlements, but I don't like any of them and so haven't started building. The build sites in the north west are so limiting. Did I read correctly that junk stored in one workshop is accessible from all of them?

On a storage note - what are safe containers to store things? I'm lugging around a rocket launcher, minigun and power armor parts that I'd love to store but I don't know what's a safe place to do so.

In order to access the junk of one settlement, you have to have a supply line connected. For example, if you store all your junk in Sanctuary, in order to use that junk in the Red Rocket Station, you have to have a settler assigned to a supply line from Sanctuary>Red Rocket.

In order to do that, you need the 1st Local Leader perk. So if you're at Sanctuary, in workshop mode, you tap R1 at a settler(Can't be named), and then connect him to the Red Rocket and you can use the supplies from Sanctuary at Red Rocket.

....and it's best to arm the settler with weapons/armor, just in case since they can die.
 
Oh wow, I was just scavenging materials at the West Everett Estates after clearing all the Super Mutants and just saw Spoiler:
The UFO flying overhead and then crashing somewhere far away
. Thought it was pretty cool and made a clip of it below. Also sucks that there isn't a New Vegas "Wild Wasteland" type perk in this but I'm guessing there's random events in the game already.

So just got back to my settlement and my power armor is missing everything besides the helmet. The first time it decided to move under my house. Fucking bugs man.

I'm glad I never use power armor or else I'd be REALLY pissed at my shit just disappearing

That's the best way to do it but I don't like how these are almost universally the best tactics.

I ended up playing on Normal and Easy and just switching between. I just don't like the aggro tactics, doesn't feel like a fun way to play the game IMO.

I agree overall the AI is much improved over all Bethesda games though, especially the enemies with guns, their actions feel a lot more realistic.

But the general aggro melee groups I don't really like on harder difficulties.

Maybe it was stolen? If you leave the fusion core in, someone can take it. Even your ruddy settlers.

I haven't seen this yet, but it is in an area with a bunch of super mutants? Saw talk about that both pre and post release and there was even a news article with a thread here on GAF about it. If it's that one it's a known issue, last time I looked going back to and older save obviously gets you out of the elevator but it's still broken if you try to do it again.
Click to expand...

It was in For Hagen. Luckily for me closing the game and relaunching it and had no issues. Not sure how or why, but someone else had a glitch like it and they said when it wouldn't work they heard the elevator music and when it didn't glitch out they never heard the elevator music, which mirrors what just happened to me.
 
I'm liking this game a lot more than I thought I would. The music, the voice-acting, the battles, all very good and fun. Nice game to play just to destress from the day too.
 
Since I had no takers on my other question (I think, thread moves so fast!)... maybe someone can help with this one.

How do I
unfreeze time
during the "dangerous minds" quest? I
accessed a memory and now time has stopped. Can't seem to start it again

I must be missing something obvious, halp

Lol, never mind. Had to quit & restart

I love being stealthy in these games sniping, pick-pocketing, and stabbing people in the back but the one thing I dislike about the sneaking perk is that at rank 3 it makes you invulnerable against any traps.

I haven't been doing this at all lately. I can't bear Codsworth judging me. Maybe I need to start leaving him behind...
 
Just got a Brotherhood of Steel quest that asked me to
attack the railroad and steal PAM or something. I shouldn't do it if I side with the Railroad more than the Brotherhood, right?
 
Game is a blast, too bad about the frame rate at
some places. Just modified a two barrel shot gun to shut down enemies on close encounters (80 points of damage per shot). Corvega factory was really entertaining with it.

Yep always take the fusion cores out. They are super valuable anyway too, and I'm pretty sure don't weight much of anything?

I don't care about the fusion core as i've grabbed a million since then and that still had the one I grabbed at the start. But are you seriously telling me people would steal parts right off my suit I had stored in its own stand? I doubt the game gets that specific.

...it definitely can be stolen if you're not careful. Specific parts? Maybe if a raider who already had power armor came by..
 
Can there still be random occurrences in this fallout?
I just fast traveled to a seeming random location and a ufo crashed near by. I went to it but there was nothing there minus a crash ufo and some blood
 
Is it worth it to spend 2.000 caps to buy the house in Diamond City?

Anyways, just running around in the city, doing the Blues quest (
I let both the guys died so I can get the maximum caps <sorry Paul, 800 cops is way too tempting and you're asking for 500 caps? I don't want to kill you but I will let those goons kill you in the firefight, lol>
), and the
Diamond City DJ
quest--now up to go to the location where the
Inn proprietor getting kidnapped
. Hopefully I don't have to babysit him/he can die or anything like that....

Running with Piper is a bit pain in the arse since there's a lot of stuff I wanna steal/hacked into/lockpicked in Diamond City *phew*. Hopefully it doesn't take long to maximize her affection points or whatever since I do want that companion trophy at the very least, hahaha.

The
standoff scene in the Diamond Market
is very LOL though, as they actually let me
loot the brother's corpse including all his clothes
and no one looking at the scene even batted an eye to this, hahaha.

speaking of random events i got a weird one when i returned to the
crashed flight
Usually there are a bunch of minutemen there but this time i got
raiders fighting ghouls except the ghouls were named like people, i only remember the names Ms.Summer and Mr.Donohue, i think it was an entire family
. Perhaps it was referencing something but it got completely lost on me.

So setting up a defense in my stronghold and keeping it in my own personal bunker is useless because the game just made the decision somebody would steal it simply because I don't take the parts off each time? Beautiful.

Eh, it's simply the ai interacting with the environment like they always have.

I'm sure if you put a blockade around your bunker they couldn't get through it.
 
How exactly does the food harvesting work? I see you can assign a settler to a crop, but what if you have like 20 crops? How are you supposed to manage them?

That's in the middle of Diamond City though... unless it's at the bought house?

I put my Power Armor at my 2nd floor of my built house in Sanctuary and no settler has tried to do funky business with it. Or any other items in my house. Maybe it's the "No Entry" signs I put up on my house's doors? Hahaha.

Click to expand...

You assign person A to a crop and if you put other crops A will automatically tend to them until he/she has the maximum amount of crops he/she can handle. More crops? You need more people to handle them. When you highlight a person in Build Mode when he/she is near the assigned items the game will highlight the things (in this case, crops) that he/she is currently assigned to.
 
I think I already missed the
alien crash
event. Now that you guys said you hear it crashing, I remember hearing something fly by and crash ages ago but i looked up and didnt see anything so I carried on :/

No idea where this was either, it was many hours ago :(
 
I can't for the life of me figure out why my happiness is dropping and has a down arrow. They have everything! TVs, furnitures, beds, water, food... The works.

They're still bitching? Why? No exclamation marks in build mode OR at the workshop tab on my map. Don't know why to do anymore!

This is the red rocket settlement by the way.

Pretty sure the location is the same for everyone. You can just google the location or find it on Youtube.
 
So after a steep early difficulty curve, my weapons and level got good enough that I've pulled ahead, and bumped the difficulty up one notch. Not it feels about right again.

A wonderfully epic assault on a car manufacturing facility (I though it would be a small bandit hideout - turned into an hour + assault on a huge building) has been the highlight of my play so far. I'm still bummed I can't find a house/settlement that doesn't suck, and I don't understand the settlement/container systems at all, so I'm still lugging around too much stuff without any place to store them. I don't want to go too deep into questing or I'll have to ditch a ton of valuable stuff, so I'm feeling kind of stuck and discouraged right now.
 
I just came across two of the exact same NPC in a raging firefight. Name was
Art
.

Does this have any story significance or was it a glitch?
