Nah, I'm not complaining about it not giving me a warning, I wanted to become enemies with them, but speaking in general for all players, if players aren't paying clear attention to their selections and are not aware of consequences they may be surprised they can't go back to the institute or change their mind later.
So the other night I did the
quest...
Quest Spoilers follow:
Taking Independence
Quest Spoilers follow:
This quest was terrible. The clearing of the courtyard was fine. The boss fight against the Mirelurk Queen was frustrating but that was mostly on me for not bringing my best equipment. I found the missile launcher and worked out a pattern of keeping out of sight, killing spawns for critical bar, and then launching critical sneak attacks at her spouts. Tedious but still in line with my current build.
My biggest problem with the quest came after I killed the Queen. So you have the boss fight which the climax of the quest... Then you have to go around and tediously clear out all the remaining egg clutches? It took me like 10 minutes to find them all and then the quest done flag still didn't flip so I had to travel away and rest. But anyway... making me go around and finish up boring busy work after a big exciting boss fight is TERRIBLE quest design. Really soured me on the whole quest line.
Side note: the reason I didn't have my heavy equipment with me was that it took me a long time to work my way over to that part of the map and the game would not give me any fast travel points near the quest start. So it was either go through with the quest with what I had or fast travel back and do the whole hike over again. Fuck off with that noise.

You also get one for the T-60 if you finish the game with the Brotherhood, but otherwise you'll need to build it. I equipped my X-01 with one to do the final mission, when they presented me with the other one I was like "gee, thanks guys".

I decided to leave Sanctuary with my second character. Building up the Red Rocket as my personal base and the Drive-in as a settlement.
It's starting to look pretty cool.

Can you get all the faction trophies on one character? I've gotten to molecular level in the main quest and you've gotta
am I fucked if I already picked?
choose a faction to help you
Not unless you reload old saves,
Ad Victoriam is impossible to combine with a bunch of Institute and Railroad quest achievements and The Nuclear Option is impossible to combine with Nuclear Family.
Oh, and you're not fucked yet, you can still side with The Brotherhood even if you didn't choose for them in
The Molecular Level
Underground Infiltration
The Railroad

Oh, I was excited thinking it was for your character, not Power Armor.
There's a pc mod for that.

Do you know about the others sans
the institute?
Just saw your edit. Thanks! I'll have to make multiple saves then i suppose.

Picking one turns the other two hostile.

Its also cool to walk on the bottom of the ocean in Power Armor.

Ah good one, I'd actually forgot about that. Other than that I don't think I've found anything!
Not yet in
The Molecular Level
Mass Fusion (for the Brotherhood at least, The Railroad only turns hostile the moment you betray them, at least if you go with The Institute and choose The Railroad for The Molecular Level, like I did).
You can just use a Rad-X or Hazmat Suit for that, though.
Why would you? Rads from swimming are pretty much negligible IMO unless you go for hour-long swims, especially since RadAway is so incredibly common. I pretty much always had a stockpile of 100 RadAway's. Everytime I needed to use one, I would find three more.
Neither are really uncommon, I just would use a Rad-X if I didn't know how long I was going to be under.
Haven't played it yet, but the base building has me intrigued.
From what I could gauge in here, no matter what you build though, the AI just spawns randomly close to the settlers when an attack happens?
Bummer if so, this could basically be a nice little turtle up/Tower defense mini game inside of Fallout if the outer walls and turrets would actually be useful.

I heard there was a power armor underwater somewhere.
But it's not wasted as there is water everywhere and you don't get any rads from it.
All but one AI spawn outside the settlement.
Last night I ran into someone named Art, engaged in a gun battle with an indentical person, also named Art. One had a shotgun, the other a pistol, and they were exchanging fire and changing cover positions across street corners. I wanted to see which Art won so I stayed back and watched them fight. In the middle of it a bear (thingy) jumps out of nowhere in between then and then focused fire to take it down fast. I though they'd brofist, but no, back to shooting each other.
In the end pistol Art won; the range was too much for Art #2's shotty. Figured it was a bug.

The twist was, I plugged Art #1 as he walked away. Turns out he was a synth. At least I avenged Art.
whaaaaaaat? I've beaten two out of three ending (almost all, very close) and I haven't met him

Thank you sir. I just managed to get rid of it. I had a kidnapping quest (same type as bugged but in a different settlement) and it went away. So i assume that a quest in that area or a quest of the same type should resolve the bug.
So I finally finished the main storyline. First time in a while where a game hasn't had (in my opinion) a clear-cut "good" option.
What I did:
Now it's kind of like... "what do I do now"... I want to keep playing, but part of me feels like since there's really no end-goal anymore, what's the point? Great game, though. Tons of fun.
Maybe I'll start my next playthrough.
What I did:
Even though I wanted to help the Institute, but couldn't bring myself to kill Desdemona and the Railroad, as I had done all of their quests. THEN I felt bad for killing Father and destroying the Institute. Why couldn't I be allied with both? Ugh. Next playthrough, I'll probably try the "Evil Scientist" .. put all my points in INT and PER and actually become the head of the Institute while destroying the other factions, aside from the Minutemen of course.

You can also talk to them if you catch them before the gunfight.
It only just occurred to me that one of them was a synth, and it was probably the one I left alive.

This sounds super- entertaining. Any chance you can post video?
If you kill a synth, you will know since they will have Synth parts on them when you loot them.

two ways ether mod it with level 4 science and level 4 armour or get it through the brotherhoodql quest line

Yeah, I ran into them really early in the game and so didn't know this. So I never realized they were missing.

Thats a
companion
only for EXP/Caps/weapons. the fetch quests have nothing to do with the story.
This was one of my earliest Random Encounters, tho I arrived in time to talk with them. It begins with
the real Art pointing a weapon at S-Art and both telling you the other one is a synth. You can convince the real one to not shoot with a charisma check which leads to S-Art attacking you both as a thanks you.
Wow, that looks great! Are you using a mod to increase the amount of items you can place?
Still looking into that drive in on my own time.

Do you guys no of any armor that can replace the vault suit? I'm getting sick of it
Are you sure you're talking about fetch quests? The BroHood should have a main quest at all times I think
