Suspension of disbelief is a big part of what lets me get into games, personally and that little moment really bothered me.
He could have just said, "maybe if we could get a dog to track the scent..." instead of specifically referring to a character he had never met.
It's a small thing, but that really took me out of the moment.

Fair enough. I just sort of handwaved it as Dogmeat always traveling with your character even if you're not explicitly taking him out as a companion (since he cannot work at a settlement like the others). Not the neatest segue but certainly not "shit-tier writing" either.

Nah, the only faction you get locked out of is The Institute obviously. Well the Railroad too, but that's par for the course given Brotherhood's hatred of synths.
Also yeah, energy weapon cells everywhere with that. Loved it!

I haven't been addicted to a game like this in... what feels like years. No matter how much I play I want to play more because I feel like I've accomplished nothing.
Also on the topic of settlements - they seem to grow over time and as you liberate more areas. My ex-main area
is up to 15 population.
Decided to move my main hub to the
because it's so open I can make a completely awesome city with my own imagination. Already got my weapon emporium, working on the other stalls as I get more bottle caps.
Argh. Want to play more.

That has happened to me, but reloading a save fixed it. Have you tried zoning into a building?
Hopefully someone can clarify this for me.
I understand that workbench shares its contents with all other benches in a particular settlement.
What about when you build say a generator and then "store it in workshop", or you store a chair in the settlement that already exists in workshop?
I appears to me it does not store it in the actual workbench, and not in your inventory, it just remembers it in the workshop build menu. So if I built a generator, and stored it in workshop, then decided I wanted to build another, but only have parts for one generator, it will say (2) next to it, indicating I can build 2 generators, 1 I have the parts for, and then one I already built.
Things you store in workshop appear to be tied to that settlement also, correct?

Seriously, yeah I'm taking my time too. I think most of my time has gone to building settlements now.

I did the quest up until he asked me to join brotherhood, but I hate military structure so I rejected the offer and it seems most people don't like them, Piper had some sarcastic comment about it after we left, yeah I'm not feeling those guys.
Do all NPC have different skills or abilities for combat? I could tell dogmeat was really awesome at distracting enemies and keeping them still. I can't tell with Piper all the time, she seems to be getting better as time goes on, and she's not much of a fighter so I'm surprised I never hear much about how she actually feels about combat.

I mean it's not like it's a contest of who can go the longest without entering diamond city. It has useful content outside of the main story.

I just entered Diamond City for the first time last night and I have been playing about 40 hours or so.
I have been trying to get there for like 20 hours but I keep getting distracted. lol

Doesn't really offer much to begin with. I only find myself ever going there because I know they have a doctor for when I run out of Radaway. Other than that I've only done a one sidequest and the main quest there.
I was in the 10s before I entered. Only entered to get Piper as my companion since her perk apparently ups discovery exp when you get it..

29 hours, level 11, only 8 quests done in total. (optional ones too not even main story ones.).
Not even close to Diamond City.
I have a lot of Nuka Quantums though

25h in and not even touched the main quest, standard for me in a bethesda game...;-)
aparently the minutemen is always safe whoever you go with. siding with one of the other locks you out of the 2 other major ones

I'm gonna have to try that
Guy can roar and scream at you all it wants, he's gonna get ROASTED.
Just do the first 4 codes. The terminal only locks for 15 seconds if you fail.
It's not that hard, first chose a random word, if it has a likeness that means that the word has a correct letter in a correct position. So look for other words that have similar letters and similar positions and narrow down from there.
I got there in about 5. I purposefully sought it out early just so I could fast travel to it for the useful services it offers, not so much for the quests.

It's easier when you find a word with 0 correct characters, then you know at least what to not to look for. If the word "FOUR" has 0 matches, then you know to skip "LOOP" because it has an O in the second position. Or if a word has zero matches and ends in an "S" or an "ING" you know to skip all the words that end with S or ING.
Yeah...mmm. I must be brain dead or something because I find it very confusing and seem to get locked out all the time from not figuring it out.
Yeah that makes sense.

If you do it like that. Best way is to do 3, then back out. Then you can retry without the lockout timer
Hacking definitely needs to be changed for future FO games, not to mention there needs to be more than just lock picking and hacking.
Little trick to make it painless is to just guess the first 3 words in order, if it's not any of those, quickly back out and mash the activate key to get back in, rinse and repeat.
Becomes more useful for Advanced/Expert terminals, don't really need to do it for Novice ones.

OK. I need some help. I'm level 10 and I'm on a mission where I need to follow the dog to find some guy and I think I hate this game. I looks bad, it runs bad, it doesn't play well... BUT I think it might be partially my fault. Am I under leveled for that part? Is there a good way to approach the missions in an order of difficulty? It feels like I'm missing something...

This settlement stuff is confusing.
I go to my settlement and everybody is like "You know, people have been complaining about the bed situation... not enough to go around"
I've got 14 beds and there are 10 of you I don't understand how this is a problem.
Also how do you make money from supply lines/shop stands? It says the store generates income, but I'm not sure how.

Really loving this game so far. The first 5-10 hours or so felt like I was looking to find something to attract me tbh, but as soon as I started building/improving my Sanctuary settlement, it all clicked. Been having a blast going out and exploring the wasteland now, especially with the idea of scavenging anything I can to build up my epic tree-fort of doom. I especially like the companion

We just finished the quest at the
Den where
That was actually one of the more memorable missions that I've played in a game in a long time. The way it was acted (especially the dialogue) was fantastic, from beginning to end. Also loved that little glitch at end where
What does this mean?!?!
Aside from that, still a little confused with how to trade and fully use the supply lines. Disappointed with the lack of info, but first-hand is the best way to learn I guess

Weird glitch in Lost Patrol quest. I've done everything to a point where it asks me to "speak to Danse" to complete the quest. The problem is - he already took me to the Airport before I finished the Patrol quest and now he's a companion and I can trade/talk to him, but there isn't an option to tell him that I completed the quest. How do I complete it now?
13 hours in and I haven't even had a glimpse of Diamond City yet. Don't think I'll be entering any time soon as long as I have a lot to explore and side missions to complete.
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
I wish settlements had large wave defenses and similar challenges. It's annoying to fast travel to a settlement only to see 5 super mutants get murdered by my defenses. Like, why did you even need my help? 86 hours in though and I kinda just wanna rush to the end so I have stuff to do on my second playthrough.
Do you get what it means when it says "x matches"? It means that the same letter is in the exact same spot in the word.
15 hours later and I'm finally going to Diamond City for the first time lol.
I have no idea how you don't get bored of the game.
I'm 45 hours in and I'm starting to tire and I've nearly finished the game.

Ugh The USS Constitution quest is bugged for me. I'm at the point where I need to enter the Corvega Assembly Plant, but entering any of the doors glitches the game to a black screen and a continual loop of sound effects. The game crashes and I have to reload, but I cant get in there to get the part 
sooooo, after going to
(do we still need to spoiler this after 1 week? like doesnt everyone know what the 4 factions are by now? anyway), you get a new type of Railroad sidequest, to kill
