    Ha, I love the artwork for the Rad Regeneration perk

    (edit) Moira is awesome in that "oh GOD please give me an excuse to murder you" sort of way

    God dammit I need a steady supply of power armour

    Even after (very late game)
    blowing up the enclave
    can I still find people there, I went back and 4 had respawned but they just flee'd the whole time.

    Are the outcasts worth keeping around? that will keep me supplied for a while

    Also how can I keep the shiskebab and power sledge repaired

    also plasma weapons

    also where can I find more questlines

    Repair and Lockpick are the two nicest skills in the game

    Well Small Guns is nicer than Repair because Repair is for Small Guns

    and Explosives comes in next because well it should be obvious

    So VATS is obviously for people who aren't good at aiming because it sucks up ammo and you can't use it at any good distance

    but shit, the camera following the bullet into the Super Mutant's cranium which then proceeds to explode is worth it

    The whole DC Warzone area is pretty sweet once you're level 8 or 9 though. Super mutants are pretty easy after level 6 and even the brutes and masters aren't that tough by 8/9.

    I just got a super sledge last night. 8-)

    Question 'bout Rivet City:
    how in the hell am I supposed to get to the bow to find this Pinkerton guy? The only door to it is locked with very hard difficulty. Is there an NPC with a key somewhere, or another way to access it?

    JESUS CHRIST

    EVERYBODY KEEPS ASKING THIS

    SWIM MOTHERFUCKER

    SWIM FOR YOUR LIFE AND BRING LOTS OF RADAWAY

    NO NOT THE ACTUAL CITY

    JUST THE BOW

    READ THE QUESTION

    i know god damnit. everybody keeps asking that same question. you have to swim into the bow.

    where, through the tare? there's no way in through there, I already swallowed 2 RadAways trying to find it.

    you are not looking hard enough then.

    Where you go to get into the broken off section:
    Start at the bridge into Rivet City. Go straight across, enter the marketplace. Run down the stairs, across the marketplace, up the stairs at the other side, and through the door opposite of the door you came in from. This leads out to a high up view of the broken part of the ship, and you can jump down on the girders and other floors down to the water, jump over to the rocks on the other side, and swim through a tunnel on the right side under the water level.

    Jesus.

    welp, just had my first crash (project purity spoilers)
    going back to the lab again, back to the lab again with dad & dr li and just for kicks i shoot a terminal

    he looks at me disapprovingly and suddenly i'm looking at the desktop

    considering i'm level 10 and have been playing for something like fifteen hours, only one crash is pretty good

    No, you just aren't using them right because you suck. Take, for instance, the 10mm SMG:

    Bob and weave in to close range, queue up VATS, point gun at head(preferably not your own), kill stuff dead. good and dead.

    Lather, rinse, repeat as necessary.

    you guys probably just suck

    i love assault rifles because 3 rounds to the head kills almost anything, including super mutants

    at least with commando and a non-terrible small guns skill

    I like hiding around corners with an assault rifle and just ripping peoples' heads off with VATS as they come around.

    Also popping super mutants in the head, because their heads are very large.
