    I want some prewar riot gear like that was the basis for the NCR Ranger armor in New Vegas.

    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?

    Anyone know if the affects of the martyr's armor stack(slow mo time at 20% or less health) or is using more then 1 a waste.

    Secrets, lies, and tragedy. The trifecta.

    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)

    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!

    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.

    No. Store your junk in a settlement, it'll get used there properly and leftovers get put back in your junk drawer.

    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.

    Edit: This is what I'm talking about.

    [im g]http://i.imgur.com/4gwLsZr.jpg[/img]

    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.

    I just found..a very interesting Legendary drop.

    a 10mm pistol..that never reloads. if you have 1200 rounds of 10mm, it will fire all 1200 without stopping or reloading once.

    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.

    Finished Curtain Call. Stormed the place in T-51b and damn glad I did. Good times.
    The mutants almost put a dent in it. Don't think I would have been able to get through there this early without it.

    Got an awesome new companion for my troubles aswell.

    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.

    Oh for Christ sake, I freaking knew it.

    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.
