Iv ejust been messing around so far. I did the quests for the minutemen to clear the power plant, and i joined the brotherhood of steal. dont have quite enough materials to rebuild sanctuary so im thinking about going to diamond city for the m,ain quest. anything else i should do before that?

You can scrap just about everything in Sanctuary for materials. Just scrap a few cars and some of the completely destroyed houses and you should have enough to rebuild
 
After completing the game I decided to create a new character. The issue is a lot of the game focuses on building. That means you need the local leader perk in charisma tree and that does limit choice. Wish doing supply lines at least wasn't a perk.
 
Good thing: taking sweet screenshots with the help of console commands.

Bad thing: realizing that at some point those same console commands can screw up your character's walking speed until you restart the game. (I'm pretty sure it's a bug because why would hiding the UI and activating the free-roaming camera change your walk speed, but there it is.)
 
So I have a question I really need answered about the Brotherhood of Steel Quests - very brief and early brotherhood of steel spoilers below:


So I'm up to a point where I need to make a decision whether to inform the brotherhood of a certain event, or go against them, and I just wanted to make sure I've completed all their quest's before doing so.
From memory, it seems I've only done about 2 actual missions for them
1) clear fort strong 2) investigation with Clark
So my question is, are there any more Brotherhood of Steel quest lines?, are there only 2 quests for them in the entire game?, am I safe to move on and dis-abandon them?, if there are more major quest lines (not just farm hunting), where can I obtain these?
 
Just spent 40 minutes in an intense sniper standoff with the fine assholes at
the lighthouse with the gamma guns that wreck your health
. It probably doesn't help that I explored all the way out to the east coast before reaching diamond city but ehhh...

Exploring the coast is so much fun, tge games visuals and excellent fog really make parts of the coast eerie. It gives me huge Point Lookout vibes which is amazing considering that's the best Fallout location.
 
You guys weren't lying, low 20s for FPS on PS4 in Cervega. Still having a blast.

It's strange for me. On xbox one it was really bad my first time through with a general build character but I just did it with my unarmed/max survivability build and it was so much smoother.

Also wow my unarmed character is no joke, just rolled through there like a beast. Might switch to it even thought it sucks not having lockpick or being able to do speech checks. One punching guys is a blast and not having to worry about radiation as much is real nice.

Ive only done those two also (not counting the repeatable crap). Is escorting a rookie to teach him one of the repeatable ones? Because I have that but havent done it

Exactly what I did. Also agree about Point Lookout.

see i haven't seen that quest either, who do i speak to in the brotherhood to get more actual quests?

Is your walk speed being slowed down?

If so, try hitting caps lock.
 
Man fuck you and fuck all of you creative mofos. I hate you all :(

How? Look at that shit. If you told me that was a random raider bar in the game id believe you. You know what I built? The stupid pre-fab metal tube house, put a bed inside and one of those red rocket signs on the roof. Thats my house ;_;

I'm going to take that as a compliment! Glad that you like it!

What's the whole point around settlement building? I feel like I'm missing the point as to why I should be bothering to do this boring crap.

You don't have to do it at all, and if you find it boring then you shouldn't bother. Ultimately it's a mini game that can get you some extra caps and gear if you build things up enough.

Personally I'm quite enjoying building up each of my settlements and getting more and more settlers and trade routes set up.
 
I need to rethink my armour approach. I gave up using the extras and went with the Brotherhood Fatigues. Things were fine for the most part until a couple levels ago. What's a recommended lvl 16 armour set up?

Continue with the settlement quests, get the M
inuteman
G
eneral's
U
niform
and never look back. That is the recommended lvl X armour setup, if you want to save space for loot.
 
Build some stores. They raise happiness.



So, so. I am level 25 and have encountered maybe 10 legendary enemies on normal. Got a nice sniper rifle and shotgun out of it so I'm happy.

I'm on hard at the same level and I've run into maybe about 30. I just got special gear that increases lockpick safe zone. It basically separates it into three easy zones. I can pick advances locks in seconds. Great Cus lockpicking was getting on my nerves.

It was a loveable fuck you, was that not clear? One ban on behalf of this game is enough thank you very much :p

What perks and special are you focusing on for the unarmed build?

Money. Supplies. Vendors. It's worth it. Mind you don't have to make things pretty. Throw some shacks, turrets, beds, and assign people to farm and man the shops and you're good.
 
see i haven't seen that quest either, who do i speak to in the brotherhood to get more actual quests?

Hmm im pretty sure it was the same guy that wanted me to investigate. The captain guy, not the main one

I did do a metric ton of those police station quests before I realised they didnt end, unless that was raising some hidden faction meter /shrug
 
you mean the dude based in the airport?

No up on the ship. The one that "greets" you the first time. Hes like "youre doing great I think its time you teach some nooblets"

Edit: oh and there's also the lost paladin quest, you can either get it from him or like most of us, you got it from the radio signal
 
So do you have to do something to get more setters? I've powered up the one radio station and took
Castle
but I haven't seen anybody new. I managed to recruit one guy with a Nuka Cola in Diamond City. Do I have to do something? Build beds or some crap?
 
ohh, the leader?, or the paladin guy that brings you to the brotherhood?

Not Danse the companion, the guy with the hat. Black dude, second in command or whatever his rank is. Hes on the control room with a bunch of squires.
 
Oh man I forgot about the radio on the pip boy lol!

Can enemies hear it? They can see your pip light of it is on which I assume why there is an icon that lets yea know if it is on.
 
I came across some dude called Art, fighting a super mutant, then i try to talk to him and he says something, I go exploring a bit and find
a dead body with the name of art and the same face
. Turns out hes a random encounter with a pretty cool story but I missed it cause of the super mutant attacking him randomly.
 
Is there a benefit to playing on Survival difficulty? I've put in 6 hours so far on it and I'm curious. Do you get better drops or is it negligible? It's not even difficult (you just can't be dumb) but the crawling slow recovery is kinda annoying so I'm thinking of dropping down if there is nothing to really gain.

Exact same thing happened to me.

Do you get better drops playing on hard or very hard instead of normal?

ill check it out, currently my main quest mission is "do this or inform the brotherhood", hopefully this mission doesn't override all the side quests available :(

EDIT: got it!!, thanks!!
 
I just finished exploring
the glowing sea
for the first time

That was REALLY cool. I definitely wanna go back, and I found some stuff
the sentinel site
that I want to spend a little more time exploring too. Maybe when I'm a little less scared...

It does by the way. When you choose who to inform it locks you out if the others I hear. Did you do the lost paladin quest?

Also that Art event is very short. Cool but short.
 
What difficulty do most people play on?

I only play Survival but when I found out it's artificial difficulty where you do half damage and they do like x3 I went and got the mod on Nexus that puts everything back 1:1.

You should not be dying to Raiders with Pipe pistols in Power Armor lol.
