The levels of your guns is fairly important to keep close to your actual level, you WILL notice a difference between a level 20 weapon and a level 30 weapon.
I've also found mole Miner gloves or power fists to be really nice "oh shit" melee weapons that have pulled me out of some scrapes. Especially against fucking bloodbugs and stingwings that are hard as hell to pin down with gunfire.

Right, keep one and upgrade it but if you can craft or find a higher level version, switch to it.
Thats the general flow for me.
Find a good weapon, scrap dupes for mod recipes and junk, craft a higher level version when you can.

Indeed. I haven't played the game in several months, so the combat targeting may have loosened up, but it is extremely difficult, nigh impossible even, to target a critter down around your feet with a gun. Thus I usually travel with a melee weapon in hand for dealing with the Mole Rats or Wild Dogs that pop up and hook onto your ankles as you jog past.

I just use VATS.
Also, this is related to my frustration last night at the campgrounds.
I have a 2-story shack near the first town. Nothing fancy but it has a neat little bridge across the river and level 3 locks on all the doors. Since new players can't pick a level 3 lock, my shutters are all open whenever I get home from everyone trying to peek inside. So this gives me an idea for my next house: make a room with one or two outside windows and just fill it with the weirdest shit I can find. Cat pictures, random writings on the wall, maybe a brahmin for good measure.

So, first night after I installed the game, I made a character. Spent about 30-45 minutes doing that. But, it was well after midnight and my parents were visiting (they have a firm bedtime of midnight) and I didn't want to bother them while they're trying to sleep. So figured I'd just get through character creation, have a quick look around inside my Vault room and log out.
Fast forward to the next time I could play (a little over 24-hours later), and I hit the "Play" button to find myself staring at the character creation screen again. I'm a little confused and a little irked. This time, I make a character and explore the Vault a little more and read every terminal I find (y'know...the usual Fallout experience). Let me reiterate that one: I read everything damned thing I find and/or hack.
And then it clicked what happened to my first character.
| Origin/R*SC: Ein7919 | Battle.net: Erlkonig#1448 | XBL: Lexicanum | Steam: Der Erlkönig (the umlaut is important) |
And then it clicked what happened to my first character.
So... What happened to your first character?
(I haven't played FO76, so I can't read between the lines.)

Yeah, the character creation thing is kind of weird.
It doesn't actually seem to save your character until you're actually out of the vault I guess? Happened to my second character, I quit after finishing customizing so when I came back, had to remake him.

A couple of the data terminals mention that after Reclamation Day has started, the Vault will seal itself and shut off life support systems 24 hours after the Vault door is first opened.

What is the maximum height a player can jump in terms of number of full walls tall? I would like to protect my purifiers and crops from meddlers without roofing them over, if possible, and I know there is a marsupial mutation but I don't have it to test.
It pretty common for China to get their own version of a game due their censorship laws.
I'm curious as to what lore wizardry or self censorship they did to make that game fly since in China only GLOWING REVIEWS OF GREAT PATRIOTIC PARTY is permitted.

In case you dont know, you can lock purifiers and extractors like doors. (you can also plant crops on campfires that you can place everywhere)
Marsupial + Power Armor Jetpack can reach absurd heights.
I just wish they had left the fusion battery bug alone, that made Power Armor so much easier to keep going and endgame requires constant Power Armor usage... Those batteries run out way too fast and its just an annoyance. (According to lore, those batteries lasted several hundred years, ingame that means 10 minutes.)
Camp a working fusion generator and get the perk to lower usage (even just 1 rank) and you should be able to stock pile a decent supply. They do have this weird anti-power armor line throughout the game despite forcing you into it too.

it takes place in post-nuclear China and it turns out the Americans were behind the war and you have to fight mutated Capitalist war dogs and robots to make the post-apocalypse safe again for Communism

I usually don't give a shit about photo mode in most games but I'm actually getting quite a kick out of it in this one with the loading screens.
Stopped what I was doing earlier today and tried to get as close as I could to a nuke going off so I could take a shot.
Some of the weapon mods just seem...broken. Not in balance terms but in actual stats. On the Combat Rifle, the standard short barrel weighs MORE than the long barrel. On the .44 revolver they both weigh the same. What is the point of short barrel if it's worse in every way?

Grahm is a good guy. He clubbed a couple of his fellow super mutants to death that were trying to take my workshop as he was passing by.
Woah just had my first radiation storm after like 30 hours, looks so cool

Damn.
Made it to the last ten in my second Nuclear Winter match.
I think we would have won if a nuke hadn't gone off on us. That eight year old that was leading the three of us around really knew what he was doing, kid was a seasoned commander.
I was at a vendor, heard some shit a bit behind me and turned around to see THREE FUCKING SCORCHBEASTS bombarding my base. The turrets didn't even bother shooting back. I was then chased by one of them into a mine and I think I'm going to just live here now. Surface life is too dangerous.
I too had a similar shemozzle. I stumbled upon a quest to escort some lovely little brahmnin
it ends in a giant boss battle with a mutated legendary level 50 sheep creature. I’m level 30, as I’m running for my life I accidentally lead it back to my camp
A week or so back I bugged my game I think, after killing my first solo scorchbeast. About 20 minutes later, I fast traveled, and a dead scorchbeast with no loot fell out of the sky. It happened again the next time I fast traveled. And then, the next time, no less than 6 live ones showed up to ruin my day. I kited them to a group of super mutants I didn't know were there, so it was more a happy accident. It distracted them enough that I could hightail it out of the area. And dead ones continued to rain from the sky any time I fast traveled.
There are some games that make it blatantly obvious when the end of a solo quest chain is actually a group event that spawns a boss 40 levels above your own along with an endless stream of other hostiles. Fallout 76 is not one of those games.

Keep one good one of each you like that you can repair and upgrade with the mods and junk you earn by scrapping the others.

I don't understand the world anymore.

Theres some really cool shit/advancements in there.
Aka the “For when you absolutely positively have to kill every mother fucker in the room” gun

I also wish you could fight enemies in power armour, maybe like brotherhood or raiders that turned into scorched inside their armour?

I was pleased when I could play the banjo.

Yeah. I didn't try going back into the vault.

Isn’t that how someone got access to the developer test room in 76?
Repairs are painful.
