His name is Gene and it's a random encounter.
Unfortunately once I discover a place I fast travel everywhere so I haven't seen many random encounters if at all.
On a side note this game loses a big part of the charm/survival mode when you become so OP you can 1-shot sentries, assaultrons, those roaming giant dudes, and deathclaws.
In the Glowing Sea if I saw a radscorpion or deathclaw I made them my bitch.
Legendary Albino Radscorpion?
I'm the Legendary Albino Wasteland Chopper, SNEAK FUCK ATTACK AHAAAAAAA

Survival difficulty? I really hope they patch some difficulty stuff. One of the most common complaints.

Survival just makes it where healing items don't do as much and more legendary people show up if I'm reading correctly. I'm playing on Very Hard. When i switched it didn't make a difference.

thats really cool!
Really? I may go up a level then.
I'm getting pretty fed up with the framerate drops any time I go in to any densely populated area. I either have a decent framerate or I go outsite of Goodneighbor and my framerate hits single digits instantly. I just want to shoot things.
I've heard it makes nearly enemy a bullet sponge, doesn't seem that fun to me. Skyrim was the same, play it on the hardest difficulty and everything takes more damage and hits stupidly hard. Meh.

Whelp, I guess I'm done playing for now. I ended up getting the crash bug during the
quest. Even entering the area causes the game to either freeze or crash to the PS4 dashboard. It seems it's pretty widespread and no one knows specifically what causes it. I was able to explore the area when I loaded a save from about a week ago, but without knowing what exactly causes it, I simply can't progress further in the main story.
Have to wait for a patch to hopefully fix it, because I'm not doing all of that again.

Changing difficulty might make a difference tbh. Next time I find a sentry or deathclaw I'll save, double check if I can 1-shot them in survival. If not, I might stay there.
The issue is that stealth melee you get 10x the damage plus any bonuses from doing it from far away with blitz, I'm also going to get bloody mess eventually, and my criticals do 2.5x damage.
So if I can only 1-shot these enemies with a critical I'll take it, but I'll also have skills that have a 35% chance refill my critical on a kill, and let me store like 3 criticals. I'll be unstoppable. I wish the game had more land bosses.
Or actually is there a list of big baddies across the wasteland you can fight similar to Swan or the Mirelurk Queen?
Im actually thinking about starting a new settlement, mine is way too big now to delete (its modded so theres no build limit) and the frame rate is annoying now. I bet my next one would be better anyway since now I know what to do. First thing Ill do, or actually, WONT do, is make a wall around the settlement.
Cant believe how into this I am, especialyl 15 hours after I finished the actual game
That said, I cant imagine doing it without adding materials via console tbh

Seems to be almost a bragging point for some
"I'VE GONE 40 HOURS AND I HAVEN'T GONE TO DIAMOND CITY"
It's like, nobody really cares man. Go to it, it has some nice side content and characters. It's not like going there will make your friends think you aren't cool anymore.

Yeah happens to a lot of people way above recommended hardware like myself as well, the downtown boston/goodneighbour area is really bad, drops to 30 for me from 60+.
It's all related to shadow draw distance, if you reduce it to medium you won't get the low frames.
However, there is also this mod that dynamically reduces shadow draw distance when needed. Meaning, you can have ultra shadow draw distance if it finds you have 60 fps or whatever you set in the mod config file to target, if it detects your fps will drop in that area due to those shadows, it'll reduce the shadow draw distance so that you get 60 fps. It's not perfect because you will get that initial dip but after it adjusts it's fine. It beats having to set it to medium all the time and have shitty shadow distances all over the game when it only affects you in certain areas. The mod helps by making it dynamic.

I don't have to sell anything. I'm drowning in caps pre-Diamond City @ 52 hours in. I scrap most my stuff for mats.
I have at least 5000 caps and a ton of mats. The only thing I have a shortage of is leather, copper and oil because I love building lights and electric shit
Graygarden is basically an adhesive farm too. and Sanctuary a water purifier farm.

it kinda sucks not being able to take dogmeat + a human companion ...
My PC isn't too hot but it should be enough to run FO4 on medium settings just fine but yeah, it chugs in the expected areas. I've already turned a bunch of stuff down and it still runs like crap in those places. It is super frustrating, Witcher 3 and MGS5 both look far better and run far smoother than this.
The Diner is were I trade and the loot I don't want I scrap. I just got losted exploring tbh.

they might be the best companions in the game but that doesn't automatically mean they're well written or interesting, which was my initial complaint in the post. (haven't played enough with Nick to get his quest, though)
and there are ways to make such missions interesting and worth playing. e.g. The Silver Shroud, which was really nice. the problem is when it's just "go there take x or kill y" and there is nothing to it. if they weren't lazy or hired competent writers they could have made some worthwhile companion quests or backstories. as I wrote a few days ago, they went for quantity over quality, which sucks

Man, Nick loves sittin'. I geek out everytime I'm in a conversation and I see him in the background bumrush dudes and furniture over to have a sit down.
It's just so sporadic which quests will be well written, and which will be "DEM GHOULZ R ATTACKIN AGIN PAW." Compared to something like Witcher 3 which is, more or less, constantly well-written... it's definitely disappointing. That said, I do have almost 60 hours and I'm still consuming this world whole, so. There's that.

I wouldn't mind more missions that could be completed with dialogue or by doing side objectives. I like options.

What do you guys use your .38 ammo for?
I keep a pipe pistol simply because I have 1168 ammo for it but it's getting harder to kill anything with it. Is it better to just sell off the ammo?

there's a bobblehead stand somewhere in the list of items you can create.
I just sell it, yeah. That is 1168 caps worth so you can buy other ammo with it if need be or junk for crafting etc.

For those that finished the Silver Shroud Quest and

How do you get purified water?
I built a water purifyer in the river at Sanctuary but how do I get water out of it?

That's what I was thinking. I keep an eye out for a gun that can use it but it looks like it's only pipe weapons and I think the damage caps out around the high 20's. No point in keeping it, I guess.

My guy has romanced all three ladies.
No issues whatsoever.
In fact in my cabin I have my own room and three beds, all three of them sleep there.
I choose which bed to sleep on when I come back.
Dogmeat isn't necessary, when my vault dweller is a DOOOOOOOOOOOOG
I think Sneak just tips into imbalanced territory once you get it to rank 4. It goes from making stealth a pain when people can hear your crouched footsteps on a different floor to not even being able to see you a foot away while getting shot at.
OK, once I have a mod in my inventory how do I apply it to another piece?
My friend just pulled a hardened mod off of a Raider chest piece to experiment and now it's in his inventory but when he tried to apply a hardened mod to something it still wanted the material cost. What do you do with mods in inventory to apply them to new weapons or armor?

Basically build the purifier on the water (make sure you connect a generator, it needs electricity) and over time (don't know how many exact hours) you'll just find Purified Water in the Aid section of your workshop.
Is there a way to cancel Local Leader supply caravans?
Goddamn this game needs a better way to manage settlements. Kind of. I guess. It's weird because managing settlements doesn't actually matter. It works well enough that you can get the small benefit out of it pretty easily. But fuck if I don't want to have very granular control anyway just for the aesthetic satisfaction.
1) good job

When you're just exploring and not expecting to find anything worthy...(and to think i almost pressed B, thinking this was just another uninterestig pipe pistol or something.)
Oh and this...hell yes.
Oh and this...hell yes.
I'm LVL 41 and I'm surprised that I haven't really encountered any beefier enemies yet. I've heard about Chameleon/Matriarch Deathclaws, SM Warlords, and tougher variants of the Ghouls, but I've mostly been encountering the same type of enemies throughout.
Do I have to advance further in the main story? I've done the 'Chip' quest and have to head back to the Glowing Sea.
EDIT: Also, are weapon stats tied to the Perks? I haven't seen noticeable increases in my firepower at LVL 41.
