I scrap all guns because screws are a rare commodity. Also, for low money holding vendors, I buy a bunch of stuff first then sell all the ammo I don't use and get all my money back. I'm level 33, about 35 hours in and have 999+ on .50, .45 and shotgun shells. Also have about 75 stims and 100 radaways and I hadn't bought one stim/rad as I find them all over.
Halve the number of Synths and see who wins then

I also found some gold bars in that bank. Should i just sell them or put them in the workbench?
That's a good tip actually. I might do that too. I bet i have plenty of ammo i dont use.

I find I need Gold for some weapon mods so I put any of it in the workbench. Don't know what else it's used for actually... Hmmm
But yea screws are rare...
And the ammo sell tip is so useful... I almost always break even when buying stuff due to excess ammo.

Yeah, but i always find myself carrying so much different guns, cause i'm like...';well....i might need them on my travels'' lol, when i really don't need every single gun on me. I have the same with ammo now. There's ammo for guns i don't have..yet i'm like...''but what if i pick the gun up during my travels?'' haha. Ah well.
By the way,i have a shitload of pre-war money stacks now, i wanted to make a funny screenshot of my character sitting at the table with the huge load of stacks on the table. So i tried dropping them all, but instead of seperate stacks, it's just one stack saying (331), the amount. It's strange cause i did see a picture of exactly that, i guess PC mods.

Just make some containers in your settlement (my personal base is Red Rocket and shops/settlers go to Starlight Drive-In)
I have a chest for guns, one for ammo, one for armor, extra Aid, etc.
Stuff in containers don't disappear if they are in a settlement. 70+ hours and everything is still there. I've hoarded a lot. Comes in handy when I need to free some weight but have mini-guns, fat mans, etc accessible any time. Just have to travel to my settlement.

Good idea. I keep putting it all into those benches at Sanctuary, but how much more until it starts to lose things? Can definitely see that happening. I am about to buy a place in DC, so i'll make some containers there. Oh wait....that's probably not possible.

I did the "what if I need a backup gun" for a while but I never found that I ever used them so I just put them in the station at sanctuary. I have my, misslelauncher, sniper rifle, overseers guardian, shotgun and pistol. All in my hot keys. I have yet to need to go back and pick up the "backup" gun. My overseers is .45, sniper is .50 and pistol is 10mm. All the .44, .308, 5.56 and 5mm I sell now and make great money from it.

Is there a break down of how charisma effects sale/buy prices or how much the perk affects them in the charisma tree?
You need to drop them one at a time, or else they'll all be put in one stack.
Oh god, I encountered the

Even then though, I could not reliably get the dialog option to come up. The very first time it did, but the subsequent 20 tries, it didn't.

I eventually found this to work for me:
walk up to him, and allow him to automatically talk to and congratulate you. The Taking Independence quest should clear, and he will also discuss the other settlements which need your help. Crucially, don't press anything to hasten the conversation. The moment there is a lull in his speech, and his weapon is holstered, talk to him, and the dialog option should pop normally. Any deviation from that causes the bug to occur.
Hope this helps someone with the same problem.

No. I mean, he stops pointing you to new settlements at some point, but he keeps giving quests.

I have been trying this now at Arturo's store in DC, but i can't deny that i don't fully understand it yet. I've never been good at these things, haha. Ok here goes:
At the moment i really don't have that much caps, i have 2576 caps. So i go to Arturo and i bought some armor pieces, for in total like 2000 caps or so. So i got 576 caps left. I then sell all my .38 ammo and that's worth 1332 caps, At this point Arturo only has 719 caps left, do i now sell more ammo that i don't use to him until he has no caps left? And then i buy items from him again? Is that how it works? Like i said i've always sucked at these things, no ashamed to admit it.

I break even them empty them out to 0 caps if I can make a profit. 24 in game hours and they restock and get more caps.
I don't know if vendors caps keep stacking but I don't think so.
So am I in and endless loop by focusing on the quests Preston gives and should do something else?
Do you have

I asked the same thing. They're all legit old songs. Though Crawl Out Through the Fallout is from a novelty album from 1960.

Ok thanks man.
By the way i just found something out...maybe this is know, but i did not know it. Let's say you have like 1000 ammo for a certain gun and you only want to keep a bit of it,..it takes WAAAAAY too fucking slow to get to like...50 or so for example, but you can speed up the bar by tapping LB. Awesome.

I just wished the settlement building served a meaningful in game purpose.
I'd much rather them have scraped (or at least simplified it)and devoted the effort and resources used for that for some more sidequests.

Speaking of that, I've noticed you perform special actions once an enemy gets to one-hit kill status. How did you get the suplex kill? So far I've only seen two: crazy punching combo via VATS and R2 bashing that ends with a one-two hit with the butt of the gun you are holding. I'm guessing they are all random or tied to different perks?
I wish you can name your settlers.
Also the workshop mechanic is so inconsistent. In Sanctuary I can scrap broken down houses but in other areas houses that are completely shit I can't or even shacks that look to be build from the tools can't be scrapped. Sometimes it won't even let me scrap items that obviously should be scrapped like a floating ladder or refrigerates/trees.

Too bad i can't buy shit with it
Yeah I've had it for a while. OK guess I'll move to other stuff.
You don't have to build on every settlement you find, choose one place you like, build it up create a beacon yo invite settlers and use that place to store junk and apply weapon and armor mods exclusively so you're not carrying junk all the time..then come back to the question again. Honestly; What purpose is creating a melee only build or killing every important faction leader on sight? If its fun, do it, a lot of people are going bananas with the settlement building aspect!

The only way to raise a trader's cap limit is to invest, which is available on the level 3 of Cap Collector. Here's a unique caveat of this perk: if you invest in a type of store in one of your settlement, say store type A, then if you build that particular store type in ANY other settlement that you have, that store will already have their cap upgraded without you need to invest anything to it.
Anyways, the stores resets their available caps after some time so this only really matters if you're not patient enough to just utilize wait for stores to refresh their caps.

It serves a huge purpose for me. It's where I sell ammo for caps, where I get aid, etc.
My shops also make me caps. If you get Level 4 Traders you get rarer legendary gear at your shops.
I have a bed close by to get the Well Rested perk and all the benches for modding weapons/armor.
I super-recommend going deep in Luck. I just recycle mods from weapons I pickup instead of wasting points on Intelligence, Gun Nut and Science. I always have a ton of Action Points and Crits because of the Luck perks. Agility and Luck are most important for me, building up Perception when I have spare points. Always having a guaranteed critical headshot or three up your sleeve sure helps on Survival.
Penetrator is good but kind of irritating because it ends up hitting walls and stuff every now and then, despite what it says. Concentrated Fire I'm split on, if I need multiple shots to hit and finish off an enemy I'll probably just use a crit to get a guaranteed headshot...
I'd probably start with 10 Agility, 9 Luck, 5 Perception. Get all the sneak attack boosters, rifleman, all the crit boosters... You'll find an Intelligence Bobblehead quite early so you can pick up the Medic perk which helps a lot.
Then you buy Overseer's Guardian from
Alexis in Vault 81

I have the Emporium level shops for all of my Sanctuary shops but I have yet to see any Legendary items appear in their merchandise selection.... is there anything more I should do to make them appear or something?
You need to recruit special merchants, whom shows up random throughout the world in your travels, and assign them to the shops. Then, it turns your shops into lvl4 and you can buy legendary. For example, Scripe is armor, Smiling Larry is Weapon and etc.

The way it's always been with the traders in these games is that you don't just want to pilfer their money, but their best items instead.
A legendary armour piece/weapon, all their ammo and all their fusion cores alone can easily run you into the 10 thousands in bottlecaps, making it easy to dump anything you want into them while still trading and getting something in return.

So I got to the point in the game where the
quest becomes available. Am I about to pass a point of no return? Or should I just go report to Danse? Right now I'm already a part of the Minutemen, BoS, and the Railroad, so I'm a bit worried about causing friction between factions.

Question about the main quest line.
I just completed the quest at CIT.
I just completed the quest at CIT.
I have the courser chip, and the quest says to have it analyzed. I wnat to make sure this isn't a story pivot point, but can I bring it to multiple people? The woman at the railroad asked for it, but I said no for now. Can I also bring it to the brotherhood of steel, and the green guy in the glowing sea? Will that have story implications for me?

Well I just recently got probably the worst Legendary I"ll ever receive.
A switchblade (I think, some sort of knife) that reduces damage I take when I stand still.
