So apparently now we basically agree, which makes your previous posts look bizzare.

So I did some tests. You either have to use that outercap for every outside wall, even if the third or fourth floor if you use skinny floors.
Or just use thick floors...lol

The stranger is mysterious. Nick's a detective. It's probably professional interest.
He has a personal detective file of him in his office.

You know what? when the mod toolkit comes out people are going to be creating some fucking fantastic settlement mods.
In 2 months we'll all be playing FO4:Tower Defense.

This post has a pretty good guide as to where you need to save to see all of the endings before getting locked in.

Just spent a good 15 minutes looking for Dog Meat in the Sanctuary.
Checked every dog house multiple times. Here's what I ended up doing.
-Went around and stored every dog house except for one.
-Moved the remaining dog house to a spot I wanted
-Rested in a bed for an hour
-Came back to the doghouse and he was sitting in there.
Hope that helps for anyone in the same position as I was.

So Fallout 4 has been out a while.. does it seem possible to do a pacifist playthrough?

If it's at 95% and still going up, you're probably good. It'll take a couple hours but you'll get there.
No, I really don't think so.
Try this guide. Pretty helpful imo.

Just FYI, I returned to Sanctuary last night, and my power armor was just sitting on the bridge. I'm having a lot of fun trying to imagine the mentality of an NPC that woul jack a suit of power armor only to abandon it a little later.
You can craft a bell that draws everyone in the settlement towards it when you ring it if you want an easier way to find your companions.

Nope. Majority of quests require you to mow through armies

You're probably equipping a full-body outfit which can't have any leg/arm/chest pieces worn over it. You can see what parts a piece of equipment will cover in the little diagram on the apparel screen.
i got to 99%, yes, 99, and shit started to go down all of a sudden, it's so dumb

Oh well. Thanks for the heads up.
That is annoying. I literally am trying to equip a leg piece with an armor chest piece and it dequips it. It is annoying to figure out what I can equip or not.
What does the star mean next to weapons/items? Legendary, rare?
Thanks
Check the body diagram to the right of the INV screen, it will flash where the item will "fit", if it's a full body piece, it will occupy all slots, and as such replace your arm/leg and chest armour, not all clothing can fit under armour.
What are the apparel pieces you are trying to equip called?
Star means legendary weapon / apparel.

The "chest piece" is probably a full body piece of equipment, even if it seems like it shouldn't be. The game will show on the little Vault Boy model which "parts" a piece of equipment will cover. And yeah, the star means they are legendary pieces of equipment.
Alright, last night I came across a raider in power armor. Got a lucky shot (15%!) on the fusion core, he jumped out and I killed him. The thing is, this set of power armor doesn't show up as stealing.
I think what I did differently than the other ones I've taken off of raiders is:
I was sniping from an overpass, so to get to it I had to run to the end of the overpass to jump down and run back over to the suit. I think this had it despawn when I ran far enough away (out of rendering distance) and when the engine spawned it back into the world, it was no longer considered stolen.
The next time you pop a raider out of a power suit, quicksave, clear the area, then try leaving and returning.
If someone could confirm if this worked for them that would be great, I hate having to leave fusion cores in the stolen units at my base. It's dangerous.

Preston got out of his power suit armor and then wouldn't put it back on until after the quest to
retake the Castle.

So the other day Im wandering around and come across some Raiders in a motel.
A set of Raider power armor sits idol nearby staring at a wall. Why isn't a Raider cruising around in it?
I kill all the raiders except one who is clipped onto the roof or something.
I tell Nick to get into the Raider PA but he says he cant. I figure the armor must have glitched intot he wall or something hence why no NPC can get into it.
Now, instead of saying "Enter" it says "Steal". I'm like really? Steal from raider?
I hop in with no problems and take it back to Sanctuary.
I get it and start to take it apart, fusion core, arms etc cause I want the frame. Immediatly every companion that is wandering around gets mad cause I'm "stealing".
I can dump whatever I want into the frame/armor but if I take anything out im "stealing" which angers everyone. Lame.
Later on a found a dead BoS Knight and boom brand new t60 armor! Thogh I have 1 full set of x01 but Im sure my companion would appreciate it.

Companions exit their suit to sleep too, apparently.
I slept with my companion (Piper) and when I woke up, got in my suit and went on my merry way, only to turn around and see her not wearing her goddamn suit, it was on the roof of the building we had just cleared.
Had to go back in and all the way up it again.
Thanks.
The item is the BOS Combat Armor Chest Piece, and it is only flashing the chest. Maybe I am losing it but it was de-equiping my right leg piece, but now it is not. I fast traveled to a new location and saved, and it is not doing it nomore. Maybe I was mistakened or it was a bug. I was using the app on my phone.
Ah, I did not take a lot of star items from being maxed out on weight.
Some days this game is awful.
When i did
quest i was rolling eyes non stop. The jankiness, the dialogues, the disappointing conclusion.
But then there days when i feel this game is goty material.
I had to go to goodneighbor (from red rocket station). Instead of fast travel i decided to take a walk. It was late night and raining a lot. Well, i never made it to goodneighbor. Got side tracked mutiple times. Man, the atmosphere. Sometimes i feel S.T.A.L.K.E.R. vibes when playing FO4.
When i did
the dig

My settlement was at 89% 10 people 14 beds.
Ignored it for a bit doing long quests..the. notice its at 58%..turns out my settlement jumped to 18 and they were lissed about sleeping in shifts. To heck with that trophy at this point.
The very first quest has you entering a suit of power armor, picking a minigun up off of a vertibird like the god damned Terminator and mowing down a group of raiders and a deathclaw.
So no, it's impossible.

The classical station is so perfect for shoot-outs
I experience this a lot. I tell myself to complete quest X or go to location Y. Meanwhile I get sidetracked and don't actually do the quest I wanted to do.

All I got were the shows after the initial hit. The first hit was obvious. In between episodes he said who to kill and where they were on the map. Are the names and locations hidden within the show after that? Definitely haven't heard any callers.

I'm not exactly sure which thread it's ok to bring this up in. Didn't feel it worthy of a new thread.
So, I was playing Bloodlines and thinking of New Vegas and KotOR 2, and wondering how come those games with all of their technical woes are so much more beloved than Bethesda's? Is it because of the CRPG sensibilities, or because Bethesda gets much more attention than games with more or better-developed CRPG sensibilities? Many favored RPGs are absolutely rife with bugs, and usually benefit from fan patches. Bloodlines is perhaps my second-favorite RPG (of all time (time (time (time)))), but it is, even with the patches, the jankiest of all jank. Seems like a double-standard case of hating the player and not the game.
Moving on to my experience with the end of the game, I locked myself out of a few quests for basically all factions once the wires started crossing and I wasn't sure which order to do what. Didn't really care that much. I think I'm going to reroll a more focused build this time, simply because I still feel like playing it. Are plasma rifles affected by Nuclear Physicist?

Finished the game.
31 Hours. My character ended at level 33. It was good.
I think the UX needs an overall.
The settlement/building stuff is cool, but that also needs some serious work. I spent more time fighting with it than I did actually building cool stuff.
The shooting was better. I'm a big Destiny player(shout out to DGAF) and coming from a game like that it's easy to image how awesome Fallout could be with that combat. Yes, I know, Fallout is an RPG at it's core, but that doesn't mean the shooting couldn't be better.
STORY SPOILERS:
I will probably start a second character and focus on power armor. Does anyone have a good SPECIAL stats base for that?

STORY SPOILERS:
I sided with the Institute. It's a Fallout game so everyone is kind of crappy. I guess the minutemen would be the most nuetral of all the factions. That said, the story was overall weak and I really didn't understand any major factions motivations. Why did the Institute kidnap people again? What did I miss?

No they fall under the Rifleman perk if non-auto.
That's unfortunate. I have four stars in both automatic weapons and non-auto rifles and the damage was real low. I'm guessing it's a bug.

You should look into Age of Decadence. I haven't played it myself yet, but it has a lot of ways to solve encounters. It's pretty archaic though.
Local leader doesn't give you access to the entire workbench, just the materials from junk.
