Crafting gives you XP! So don't forget to cook and chemistry your way to higher levels. (Especially after a certain quest loads you up with a ton of drugs.)
(Some?) companions can wear power armor. Just issue them a Go command like you normally would, but point at the Power Armor. Apparently, they do not deplete the fusion core either. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGnIyVn41Cs)
Most of my deaths are a result of grenades/landmines and dogmeat getting in the way.
Bethesda companions are usually bad, but Dogmeat is a special brand of awful. Dropped him as soon as I could hang with Preston or whatever the minuteman's name is. He hangs back and provides cover fire with his laser musket. He does not block doorways. He is better than Dogmeat.
I am 30 hours in and not until I read this post did I realise that Preston could be a companion.
Things escalate very quickly once you clear out the Corvega factory and report back to Preston.
He makes you the General of the Minutemen if you agree to join. From there he's available as a companion
Yeah, that was about 20 hours of gametime ago... hence my exasperation!

Preston doing that really irked me
there was no build up, no elongated campaign where you build up to it earn a reputation and the loyalty of others. Just, Hello person who has been unfrozen for less than 24 hours, you handled some raiders, YOU ARE NOW LORD GENERAL OF THE MINUTEMEN.
So I learned something today, don't keep your fusion cores and power armor weapons in a safe near your power armor.
When my settlement got attacked a settler took a minigun, all it's ammo and a fusion core from the safe and jumped in my power armor. and then when i told him to get out after the battle my minigun was missing.
I just wanted to keep things nicely sorted and accessible for myself when I wanted to use it .
Wait what
Surely that must be wrong. There's no way they'd let the settler's randomly grab things from inside containers right??
As a general rule, NPCs will access non-locked containers within reach. One of the reasons merchant-inventories are frequently placed underground.
That seems like such an odd roundabout way to deal with it. How hard can it be to set a container's ownership to a certain NPC ID and add an ID check when an NPC wants to open one?
I believe that there are exceptions, but I can't actually think of one.
And one of the reasons good storage has been hard to find in these games.
Yeah...
I'm starting to think the best solution might just to remove the stairs leading up to my storage room and just have fast travel as the only way of getting in
That's pretty elegant, though. Even if they spawn there, they won't be getting up there after combat starts. Most of the time.
I found an armour piece with chameleon on it. Had to remove it after 20 minutes because it's so damn annoying having the stupid screen flashing white effect every time I stop moving for 0.1 seconds. Plus making my gun and sights invisible doesn't actually help with aiming.
Also found the perfect gives no fucks apparel for my character.

A little hard to keep track of this thread.
Is it a good idea to throw your junk on the ground and break it down there, using the base building mode?
Some person said that it wasnt needed and just "Reddit being Reddit", I could have sworn I had more materials after doing that once though.
Settlement builders. How the goose do you make a square building with wooden walls (with sloped roofs), then put a wall w/doorway in the middle of one of the sides, then close up the annoying openings on either side of the door with End Walls? It's not letting me use End Walls AND Wall w/Doorway at the same time in the same place like it should and it's driving me batty.
What I'm looking at is the spot where an End Wall should go. To the right is the Wall w/Door. If I could put an End Wall there, it'd be perfect. But I can't. So the whole structure is stupid?
Keep in mind that if you see impossible-looking structures, some people are using the console to build whatever they please, clip whatever they want, because they get fed up with the regular interface.
Gah, I'm dumb. I got confused by the perk system due to missing a menu and went the first 7 levels with dumping my points into base stats. I'm now the most impractically capable vault dweller in the wasteland.
I know they are in the game cause people are talking about them, but I've not found a single non-feral ghoul

Found a legendary pistol with a "junkie" effect on it that makes it more powerful the more withdrawal you're currently going through. That was an interesting one.
Okay seriously, after a certain quest, these stupid freaking triggermen pop out out of fucking nowhere every time I enter Diamond City now. I have killed probably 30 of them in total. How the fuck do I make them stop? I'm so sick of taking damage just to make sure I don't misfire on residents in the confined town center, and I'm sick of killing these stupid mobsters.
So I just went after the beacon with Paladin Danse.
Afterwards he said it was a pretty sloppy opp.
Does he always say that or was I just sloppy?
He always says that. Stickler for duty, that one.
Speaking of that mission
AHAHAHA HE STAYS IN THE TEST CHAMBER. I thought it was typical "companion can't leave combat" bethesda jank, but they actually had him comment on it. So good.
There is a lot more specific "event" style stuff in dungeons in this, it's really cool, from ghouls climbing in from ceilings and vents to mire.urks breaking open the floors after the floorboards creak and start splitting. It's fantastic
As soon as I replace dogmeat I have a quest that requires the dumb mutt, but of course we cant have him and an actual useful companion so now I gotta kick my companion to the curb to grab the mutt to finish this quest.

I know NCR Ranger Armor cant be on the east coast, but surely the riot/swat gear that was its foundation should be in a police station somewhere?

What is the internets recent infatuation with Cera. why is he literally in every image edit I come across.
i have like, 25 of every kind of drug already
there are drugs everywhere
a solid third of the locations i've come across have been involved with some sort of shady drug business

It's an imgur phase. Ignore that and appreciate the horror.
Preston doing that really irked me
even oblivion had better progression than that.

but I have done more SCIENCE
Unfortunately, Mini Nukes, like Fusion Cores, do not detonate when dropped in the world and shot.

Yes that is as fat as the engine allows. He looks more out of shape clothed but he needed to be naked. Save file if anyone wants to play as him.
a 10mm pistol..that never reloads. if you have 1200 rounds of 10mm, it will fire all 1200 without stopping or reloading once.
sneak attacking + hiding beats them pretty easily
the two I fought have been in very..very..VERY confined quarters.
Also, without spoilers, I am at a place where a lot of people are wearing Fedoras.
naturally, I had to kill them all, then I drug the bodies to a pile and threw a Molotov at it.
Got an awesome new companion for my troubles aswell.

Literally walked in there like 30 seconds after that post. It was almost comical the timing.
