Yo this is a real good game. Let's talk about it.

I'm rolling a Strong, Independent (STR/CHA) Woman From the Past who DON'T NEED NO MAN (Except Nick Valentine)

    Nick and Piper and Hancock are all fantastic characters

    Preston seems super super bland

    Strong is, like, fun with his whole hook but just kind of a generic Super Mutant dude from what I've seen

    The character work in this is way better than any other Bethesda game I've played

    So, the wholly predictable crashes to desktop with no message have started up again. I find that that, and the endless loading bug usually happens to me in the Boston area, though not Diamond City.

    As soon as I'm back home from work, I'll be setting up a reinstall and as detailed as possible a support ticket.

    This is getting annoying

    I'm not very far in this, myself

    I just finished
    Helping the Brotherhood of Steel get a special transmitter to get some backup

    I also totally roasted the guy I was with, but he's alive and cool with it, so no harm no foul!

    Boy howdy does this game seem to actively despise the colorblind.

    "Follow the red lamps!"

    Oh, the lamps that are indistinguishable from any other light source? Oh, great, no quest markers either. PERFECT. What's that? More enemies than anywhere else in the game so you can't even trial-and-error it? But of course!

    Arrrrrgh

    Oh how I love this game, it's scratching so many itches simultaneously. Finally going to pass out now that Operation Walled-in Settlements is complete.

    can you put a solid wall around the entire green border of each settlement?

    I love that companions will sit down when it becomes clear that you're about to pick a treasure room of a dungeon clean.

    I see we had a similar idea (although mine is just One-Two). I also have a heavily modified automatic 10mm called 'Last Words' that I love.

    I need to remember who I put on water pump duty in sanctuary and start them going down to the purifier shack I built at the river. I'm pretty proud of it, actually. Completely closed in, butted right up against the tall part of the water wall and really easy to access from inside the settlement.

    I should probably start walling everything in and put up a dang recruitment tower. And another thing, set up a bunch of power lines in an orderly and sensible fashion before making anymore houses.

    My initial impression on the settlement building thing was cool at best, but it's actually pretty fun once you get it.

    i didn't even know there were lamps, you can follow the line of bricks on the road and arrive there just fine

    think there were a couple of spots where there's a bunch of junk over them but generally going in a straight line until you find the bricks works

    did end up running into a whole bunch of enemies headfirst though

    I keep getting a couple hours in, rethinking my build, and starting over.

    My original plan was a high Int science man, so I rushed to 9 Int to be able to extend my fusion core use, but now I'm thinking that as cool as power armor is it's also kind of a hassle when you get a leg blown off and need to go and repair it.

  • honoverehonovere Registered User regular
    I'm not shure if I could make it past the character creator in this game. I would be stuck for days.

    If by changed you mean removed entirely, then yes

    Except for power armor but that's a whole different thing now

    That change took me by surprise. Fallout 3 and NV conditioned me to find extras of everything for repairs and upgrades.

    I still pickup just about everything that isn't nailed down, but now they mainly go to either the scrap bin or the shop if they're worth something.

    Does anyone know if there's a way to equip people in your settlement with power armor? Because I have all these suits just sitting there in Sanctuary, and I'd love to have them on the folks I have on defense.

    And man, I just am so in love with what they did with the scavenging/crafting/building system. It changes every piece of trash loot into something super valuable, despite what the game says its value is. Last night I found a camera in a ruined house and was thrilled. I don't think its even worth 20 caps, so in other games it wouldn't even be worth picking up, but because it has components that I need to craft or build, I was super happy to find it. Hell, I'm picking up aluminum cans and broken light bulbs and wishing there were more.

    Downside is I'm super broke, because I never sell anything. But the added immersion of being a wasteland scavenger is worth it.

    Before following any advice, opinions, or thoughts I may have expressed in the above post, be warned: I found Keven Costners "Waterworld" to be a very entertaining film.

    Yes! But only companions I'm afraid.

    You make them your companion, hit the use key while looking at them to give them commands, and then hit use on the power armour and they'll go get into it.

    Then you can go running around with, say, Nick Valentine wearing power armour and his fancy hat!

    If it helps the female voice actress is really great.

    The male probably is as well? but I haven't played a guy so far.

    Wait,what do you get if someone is assigned to water purifiers? I thought they worked on their own.

    Also,do companions pick up ammo they need automatically? I wanna give Piper a submachine gun (name it Chicago Typewriter, natch) but constantly trying to hand her ammown would be tedious.

    I tried that with Preston, but when I switched back to Dogmeat as my companion, Preston stopped, got out of the armor, and walked off. Is there any way for them to STAY in the armor when they aren't your active companion? I want to leave them as power armored settlement guards, not have then clomping around behind me alerting every raider around to my sneaky sneaky presence.

    Hmmmm, we had Preston in his power armour at The Castle for quite a while before we took him as a companion again and got him out of it.

    But I also remember Piper disappearing one time when we dropped her off somewhere and when we found her again she'd got out of her suit. It's a bit inconsistent.

    Strong with the sledge is hilarious.

    He just seems to pop out of the weirdest places and smack my enemies in the back of the head. He seems to find it hilarious as well which only adds to the moment.

    I've got a few screen shots where I'm in VATS about to make the kill shot and he photobombs it and smashes the dude in the back of the head first...always grinning
