Dungeon design is fantastic this time, so many little nooks to explore and multiple entrypoints that can entirely change your approach. Adaptable environments for different playstyles, too.

Skyrim really disappointing with it's single route, looping dungeons and I was worried Bethesda would continue that design. Glad they shook it up, so far every one has been fun, detailed and rewarding.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

biggest gripe with this game is waiting.

by far


annoying fucking decision. I am stealth i need it to be night and when i fast travel there's a chance it'll be daytime. then I'm fucked.

Should have camp beds. But then the rested bonus would be op.

 

[GravyButt]

Is the cap collector perk worth it? I think thats the bartering one.

 

[Chitown B]

meet me on the court if you wanna get dunked on.

lol. How to you pick stuff up? on Console.

 

[ManCannon]

60ish hours in, barely progressed with main quest and have been exclusively rolling with Dogmeat by my side so I figured I'd mix it up and take

Spoiler

Cait

out with me on some repeatable BoS quests... Can't recall who suggested it but DAMN.. equipped her with

Grognaks Axe

and she is totally wrecking shit!

 

[UCBooties]

Stupid questions:

1. Is there any way to strip mods off of weapons that you find? I found a pistol with a grip I want, can I get it or the components from it somehow?

2. Please tell me there is a way to scrap stuff from inventory at a workstation. Dropping shit on the ground to manually scrap it is ridiculous.

Hold X on ps4

Honestly I'd go with the perks that lower the cost of buying. You need rank 2 in that to open the large stores in your settlements anyway.

 

[Steiner84]

it's

the crater of atom.

it doesn't really serve any purpose and doesn't have anything too interesting, unfortunately. if there is something to it, nobody's found anything yet.

but you can go there?
might check it out.
best take my hazard suit with me i guess.

1. Replace if with a different mod like the stock grip and you'll have the grip free to use on another pistol of the same type.

2. Game will automatically scrap stuff when you craft and need the materials.

I wanna check my hours played will look right now !

Hold X

Btw hold the touchpad and you can change your tpv distance or pan the camera. You can also move your pipboy around while holding touchpad or even zoom it in with a press.

 

[joecanada]

oohhhh I remember this part, when I encountered them,

Spoiler

they were fighting for a while, and then later on, I saw one Art had a gun held at the other Arts head while he was on the ground screaming mercy. As the player you had to make a choice, because the one with the gun, aiming, is yelling that the other art is a synth, and the art on the ground, is yelling that hes not a synth and the art with the gun is crazy and he's the real synth.

Spoiler

I opted for to just let the guy holding the gun shoot the guy on ground and it turned out the guy kneeling was actually the synth

 

[Impeccable]

Have to admit it sucks they lock some major quests behind the main story progress but it probably makes sense. Just hit level 48 and decided to do a bit of hte main story now since I'm mostly in repeat quests. Do one piece and suddenly the BoS shows up with the rest and a ton of side quests.

 

[Dawg]

About to start this game, haven't played a Fallout game since 3 and I never finished it either.

Anything I should know before starting? Difficulty tips? Starting stats?

 

[Steiner84]

so, mccready has bugged on me now.
His in permant sitting position and doesnt move anymore. even after entering buildings hes just sitting at the entrance. hopefully fast travel will fix it

 

[Jisgsaw]

So, is there a special condition to get the perk from Danse?
I have may aaffinity (I think , ichecked through console I'm sitting at 999.0, it doesn't goes higher anymore), but nothing yet. Is this a bug?

Happened to Nick while I was finishing his side quest of all things. Fast travel didn'T work, I had to reload an older save.

Edit: wait no, for me Nick was down and not healing alone; couldn't stimpack him either, so he sat on the ground.

1. You have to build the "standard" part for that attachment slot, then you get it.

2. You can just dump it in the workstation, it'll scrap when you need it and count towards your total. I did the same for the first ten hours.

Agreed completely about Skyrim's dungeons. I don't really think FO4 goes far enough in the right direction personally, but given the breadth of this game I don't really expect every minor dungeon to be like a Deus Ex level. Still this is a big step forward from Skyrim.

Happened to me with Preston. I reloaded and it fixed.

Is it possible to locate where I sent my companion if I don`t remember?

Oh yeah it's no Deus Ex but on a quantity vs quality balance I find the dungeons super impressive.

What's the max amount of people you can have in a settlement? I thought it was 20, but H

I read that it's your charisma + 10.

I had some buginess where it reports an incorrect number on the map screen though. Visit the settlement in person to check the right number.

You can send Strong to a settlement. He wanders around Sanctuary Hills in my game whining about humans.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

ah jeez feel kinda shitty now

went through this base and killed the raiders. their leader was a woman

I enter her room and there are some letters from her sister saying how they're gonna kill her if she doesn't continue sending in supplies and that she loves her.

Fuck.

 

[Tainted]

Hmm ... so vault 95.

Spoiler

Seems really small compared to the other vaults, but there was one area I couldn't get into as it was behind a master lock (even with Nick). Is it worth putting my next point into master locks it just so I can get behind that door

?

 

[superdeluxe]

The here, here kitty quest is bugged. If you get the quest from Erin, and then send the cat home. If you then talk to the barber and ask about rumours, he will tell you about Erin and the cat and you get 'Talk to Erin' when you go find Erin, Ashes is there but you can't finish the quest

I just did that one, it was a named enemy too which made me wonder if I messed up a quest somehow.

I mean, she's a raider. It's never gonna go another way is it?

 

[Tomat]

Restarted this game so many times, haven't been able to find a build I like just yet. Melee seems to be the most fun, but doing melee early game feels damn near impossible depending on the fight. Loading up on chems kinda sucks too.

Is it bad to spread your SPECIAL stats across three main stats?

The raiders she's at war with can be found in the brewery. Go there and read the terminal of you want a full picture of Red's story.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

i don't know if it's a quest but it might be a little side story.

Because I read her log in the computer and she has more details on the kidnapping and the location. And she has a log saying


"Somebody chopped off all of them bastards and bla bla bla"

And then I was all

"Wait a minute that location... I'VE been there"

And I got all smug.


"Call me the Wasteland Chopper"

 

[Xeteh]

Anyone having any luck keeping a decent bit of shotgun ammo? I swear, Scrounger does nothing but help me find the other crap and vendors don't carry enough.

How do you send him?

 

[veloxStrix]

There is nothing more annoying that the infinite supply of molotovs enemies have on Survival mode where they one shot you if they even catch a corner of you.

 

[Easton Dark]

"Wait a minute that location... I'VE been there"

Then you didn't explore it good enough to get the other half of the story.

You must return.

They have it in every mode.

He'll wait for you at Trinity Tower if you don't send him to a settlement

you find a terminal from the other gang that's doing the extorting.

According to the terminal one of the dudes got heated and accidentally killed the sister so they hid her body in one of the beer brewing vats and continued forging letters to her sister to keep the goods coming in... RIP both sisters...

2 more questions

1). If hidden, with doors closed in vault 82, why does the entire vault aggro on me? Is it s cumulative thing?

2)why is it when I try to place walls on my 2nd story there is a gap between wall and floor?

1st level I use floor, 2nd level I use the ceiling/floor combo. Sort of frustrating

Anyone have problems like above?

 

[Akiyama_AE]

I'll look very hard otherwise I'm screwed no spawning him on consoles ...

 

[demosthenes]

How do you send people though?
