Really? It gets you out of extra quest and out of occasional blood baths. I know of two side quests that it kept me from having to kill a lot people.
Fuck Strong (not literally, of course, because gross) but he's the WORST companion. The most boring too.
I put him in the Sunshine Co-Op thing where it's full of dead ghoul bodies. He should feel at home with all the dead body to eat. /sorrynotsorry

The majority of them just give you a bit of exp and change the dialogue a bit. Maybe you'll be able to get an extra 100 caps or so as reward for a job. Totally not worth investing points in Charisma.
I had a set of Charisma gear that I would put on each time I visited a vendor, though, since higher Charisma will make the prices better for you.

Guys is it just me or does Diamond City Radio sometimes play certain songs again after a while, while it has not played all the other songs yet? For example The end of the World, a few minutes ago I heard it and a few songs later I heard it again. So at first I thought the tracklist was probably very short, but that's not the case when I look it up on Wikia. Actually there's a song from Fallout 3, I don't want to set the world on Fire, but I haven't heard it at all yet. What's up with this?

Well, sort of..... Someone posted the steps a few pages before:
Probably more of a glitch but still, better than the other alternatives?

This might sound crazy....
I was walking along the road, back to my settlement at Starlight Drive-In when I saw a man standing in the middle of the road up ahead... I continued on my way and while he was still a good distance away, he held up his arm and waved at me, then disappeared.
I thought maybe he had fallen through the ground, so I used TCL to check and there was no one there... I looked around to try and find any followers or Brahmin but there were none.
I had saved a little bit before, so I loaded up my save and followed my steps back to the spot. He wasn't there, nor were any NPC's on the road or nearby. They have always been in the same spot when I loaded a save, so if it was a trader, he would have been there again.
Anyone else see this disappearing man?

Well then, I saved and reloaded. Still think I should have gone with my initial instinct. We'll see how this plays out.
Edit: yep should have stuck with my choice. This is what I originally thought would be the case early in the game. Not that it's bad but I was hoping I wasn't right.

I'm starting to think it's not possible for me to finish this game. As somebody who likes squashing the quest list, this game makes me anxious when it keeps growing the longer I play.

Yea certain songs repeat way more than others
It does huh? What an odd decision. So I don't want to set the world on Fire is on jt?

My brother really enjoyed him as a Companion. He's neither here nor there for me...
Cait surprised me a lot, didn't think she'd be so useful and her story so sad. I like Curie a lot too, but I haven't seen what she becomes when she
gets her body
Codsworth and Dogmeat are great too. I
Nick is probably my male pick. Danse is too uptight, MacCready is too pesky, Garvey too much of an idealist.
Haven't played with Deacon yet...

That's glorious. I like your version of the story better.

This seems to always be the case with games that have a "random" playlist. GTA4 was the worst offender.
Having now reloaded and gone through the conversation I'm kind of bummed I questioned my decision. Though I would have missed a lot of info.

I had a charisma of 2 only and have passed orange speech checks. Charisma improves your chances, but it is a random dice roll essentially.

Ah screw it I'm starting over.....the completionist in me won't allow to move on with my life because I accidentally sold the Broadsider and after I checked all the shops and retracing my steps I found no trace of the Weapon so I'm reseting.I even deleted the game install and I'm going to rebuild my PS4 Database just in case afterwards once I reinstall the game.
-So far what I learn in my two previous builds is that roleplaying Perks wise is hard since the Perks are too broad in this game.
-Focusing on one specific Weapon type isn't fun because the amount of Weapons in that specific Weapon category is very limited thanks to the Weapon Mod system artificially increasing "Weapon Variety" when that "Variety" isn't there once everything is said and done because you modded a weapon to the max capacity. Example-There's really only 4 Non Automatic Ballistic Handguns in the game:.44,10mm,Deliverer,and Pipe Gun (Weather it uses .38,.45 or.308 ammo).
-Don't touch Settlement's right away or you will forget the rest of the game exist.
-Try to hard save more than once a day lol

Lol, I was reading the wiki, apparently if you romance more than one character the game does adapt to that. It seems Piper doesn't want you sleeping around and if not in your party and you are pulling crap she can be seen in Nick's office asking him to keep watch of you. Hilarious if true. I KNEW it was out of character for her to be okay with you being a player.

LOL BRO!!! I literally did the exact same thing, shot him right in the head as soon as those doors opened. I had a save before shooting him though just out of curiosity. lets just say he wouldn't think much of it

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
Not to say it never happened, but it was a much more valuable skill in New Vegas.
What the hell is with the weird armor upgrades in this game?
I just realized I can put ballistic fiber on hats...but only some of them. Currently trying to just make my character look good with a matching hat for maxson's coat, but the hats I like don't let me upgrade at all. Newspaper boy cap I can though, for an insane 110 resistance. But the Military Cap which looks super similar can't be at all.
Formal Hat? Nope. General's Hat? Nope. Battered Fedora? Yup, can weave it to 110. Sea Captain's Hat? Nope. Makes no sense. I now have 270 defense with the newspaper boy hat and basically have to wear it and not another one I like the look of more.

But, man, wouldn't it have been glorious if the game actually let you run with that story?
*SPOILERS* Like, if they let you
kidnap the Synth Shaun, take him back to your settlement, and work with the Minutemen or whoever to eliminate the evil Institute?
If only Bethesda's systems allowed for more open-ended narrative.
Are you on PC? I'm sure a mod will be coming that will allow it on all clothes. Feels dumb it's available for MacCready's Duster but not Preston's.
She is SO THIRSTY for my character. I don't want to romance her and the option to romance her kept popping out. I just wanted her perk before I ditched her.
.....
Oh God, I sound so awful now that I said that outloud. Still, is there any advantage of doing her mission after I got her perk?
PS4 sadly, lol.
It's already weird enough that armor has a 'thickness' without really showing you which doesn't allow armor pieces overtop, but I have no idea how these upgradable hats are even decided.
It does. when you highlight a piece of armour or clothing in the pip-boy, it will flash which slots on the body that piece of armour occupies.

Yeah this felt really dumb to me because I wouldn't mind going through the game with Preston's Colonial Duster but the Defense is too paper thin for the difficulty I'm playing on so I went with MacCready's Duster.

Does Marowski actually do anything to threaten you after you refuse to pay him? He seems like a chump.
(small side quest) Kid
is up there with my favorite moments from this game. I was laughing when
. First time the dialogue really matched up with my intentions (
)
in a fridge
I sold the kid to the creep for 200 caps and then killed the creep. Kid called me an asshole
As I told the kid I was just tricking the guy for his money, which is what I hoped I could do
...I have no idea how I never noticed that, wow.
Still, the hat thing seems dumb unless I am also missing something there.
Aw shucks...

Yeah, I have no idea about that either
Hrm, seems more random than the other games, or maybe I had more charisma points.
Welp, might just roll with it or choke on some mentats.

If you're playing on PC, you ain't doing it right unless you have this mod installed: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1801/?
Can't say I've ever laughed this much playing Fallout 3 or New Vegas... or most games actually. Call me childish.

All those make me sad that I suck so badly at customizing characters.
I wish they had an import feature like Mass Effect (if I recall right) did, that let you use other peoples creations. Would of rather done that and tweaked it than try to make my lame ass character look good. lol

Is it even worth upgrading early levels of armor (like leather/raider pieces), or should you just wait until you've picked up high-quality equipment before getting into that stuff?
I'm afraid I'll upgrade a bunch of pieces of equipment, which will in turn drain me of half (or more) of my resources and result in me not being able to upgrade the better stuff that I'll inevitably stumble across somewhere down the line.
