Do I get another chance or is that it?

I'm 55 hours in and I just crave more all the time. I think it's still a solid upgrade both visually and gameplay wise compared to the older ones, and as much as fun.
One thing I'm very pleased with, I think it's the first time in a Bethesda game I feel the companions are people, not just empty shells that follow you around. They have a lot to say in different situations.

That's why I don't feel bad for using the unlimited SPECIAL glitch. In the the beginning I knew nothing about the game and specced poorly. After 10 hours the game began to feel boring. But now after putting 10 in AGL and VATS'ing endlessly I'm really having fun.

It's a very fun world-exploration game. It's a very crappy role-playing game. I am one of the hardcorest RPG fans on this entire site. As long as I remember that I'm not playing an actual RPG, I'm having a good time. When it tries to think its people, I get really annoyed and shut it off for a while.
If you're the RPG fan that can still find value in things despite their pedigree and supposed genre, you may enjoy this as much as most people. If the fact that it continues to strip away elements of its history in favor of simplified mechanics and Sims-lite fluff content bothers you, maybe wait a while.

Cel shading mod?
Thank you. Guess I'll wait then.

Here is the thing. The gameplay is fantastic, best of the year. However, the stripping down of player agency with a completely predefined character, worse-than Mass Effect dialog system, removal of skills, removal of weapon condition, allowing points to be put into SPECIAL with every level, not tying shooting too heavily to skills/perks, etc has pissed off a lot of people, myself included. Fallout 4 pales in comparison to New Vegas and isn't really an RPG anymore. I can't help but imagine what this game would be like if Obisidian made it, even if they were forced to go with the same setting and having a voiced protagonist.
Just aim down the sights while you're behind something, it'll automatically have you peak out from it.

What? no. At least, nothing I've heard/seen allows that.
The game has no level cap, so there's no reason to have a respec option. Plus you level like a bat out of hell.

Need help understanding this:
I just finished the Lost Patrol quest where you

follow the trail of the ambushed BoS patrol. I made it all the way to the old dude Paladin at the end in his bunker. As I was talking to him, I tried using a persuade option. It failed, and he got pissed and started shooting at me.
Piper and I killed him - have I just lost out on other BoS quests? I hope I didn't just end any chance I had of doing a BoS quest line.

I really, really miss the dialogue from FNV. It's so much better. I also prefer skill points to how they have it now.
The world exploring, quests, combat are all great though.

On PS4 I get something similar sometimes but the color is black squares its really weird!
Walk up to a wall or other object until your weapon lowers, then you can press the aim down sights button to peak out, release button to return back to cover.
It's a very useful mechanic, and it's bizarre that it's never explained in game.

How can you make electricity come into a building ? I have to take off a wall to be able to connect the cable (generator is outside)

It works on a proximity basis, items will run off a power pylon or power socket / switch for about 2/3 building squares.
So as long as you get the wire to a pylon within 2/3 squares of the items you are trying to power, they will get power, you don't need to wire each item to the generator, or run wires through walls (even if you do run wires through walls, they can and will clip through, no need to take the wall down), I just stick a couple of pylons on the roof.

Make a 'window': doorway wall with a fence in the doorway. There's one that slots into doorways.
But it would be awesome if someone has a better idea.
Nope just vanilla xbox one version. It also does it on some shadows, super annoying. I'm not running from external usb.

Just finished the game and I'm glad it's over. If someone had told me that the story was written by M Knight Shyamalan.. I would have believe them.

Just run the wiring around the building exterior walls, unless the building is huge the power should reach all interior lighting, tv, etc.

The good or the bad Shyamalan?

LOL I think I had the exact same thing. It was one of the Brotherhood quests to clear out the area and he was sitting behind a crate like that.

If you asked Shyamalan he would say the best. Although it doesn't go full Shyamalan..
Explored a very strange building today. You enter into it from a street, then it's kinda like a maze with traps set in it. You follow a bunch of street signs that point you in certain directions. Some lead to dead ends. Then you find about 20 scales( the kind you weigh yourself on) on the ground, and right behind them are a bunch of grenades hanging from strings on the ceiling. Followed by a room full of those little robot monkeys. Then you eventually find a
that is being guarded by a turret gun. Right after that I got killed by

Is there a way you can craft appliances? I've built a house and want a fridge to store all my nuka colas
What is that ?
I'm hesitating about starting the BoS quest at the police station,
does it lock me with the brotherhood or does the faction choice come later ?

New Vegas fan myself, and it doesn't feel to shallow, it's very fun to play.
*The perk system works pretty well, and makes it fun to plan your character. I was hesitant about the removed skill system, but I think this works well.
*Companions are much improved. Design, dialogue and relations.
*Dialogue system has it's up and down. Worse then New Vegas, but not truly terrible. At worst, it's still much better then Fallout 3 at least. But I do miss more skill/perk checks.
*Much improved crafting system.
*Very content heavy, more then New Vegas. Will reserve judgement on the writing until I have beaten it .

so I can do all the quests for BoS and Minutemen right? I dont have to pick a side? at least not until it asks me to?
While shooting things and exploring was fun for a couple of dozen hours, it honestly really just made me want to re-install FO2 or NV
Personally, I'd suggest you wait at least a couple of months unless you really, really want to play it right now
Hmm, yeah, actually saw the same thing on XB1, when I tossed a frag grenade into a group of Raiders. The ensuing smoke from it appeared as white squares on screen.:/

Nope. Found out a few days ago and have only found 1 dud. This comes after 250+ hours of fallout
Wait, what on the bracket thing? Do you move further out or something?
They move further apart depending on how well you are hidden.

How do I scrap apparel? Do I just transfer it to the workbench like the rest of my junk?
