Fallout 4

Loving it atm... Getting a GTX-970 today so will be moving on up to ultra settings...

Playing with a maxed sniper and 10mm atm, thinking about pushing my character towards stealth so will be generating silenced versions of these.
 
Really want to get modding weapons n armour, Quite fancy a 50 cal rifle.

Sorted my caps n stimpack issue. Sold some stuff and started making them at a Chem station. I have water purifiers running in three places now.

had a vicious fight with a sentry bot at national guard depot Christ they are tough, just realised I have 12 fusion cores on my person. Maybe I should take the power armour out for a stroll
 
Playing on V hard btw. Played the previous games on Normal, this one seems much easier. Even on hard I wasn't needing my power armour. This isn't boasting or anything, I'm not usually a masochist/talented gamer...
 
I'm finding it to be quite easy too. I switched from normal to hard, but maybe I should switch to very hard seeing as hard isn't hard enough? :confused:
 
I don't need power armour but now wondering why i haven't had my companions in suits the whole time. They don't use up fusion cores.
 
That is a very good point! Although I haven't used a companion once, unless you count Dogmeat and all he wears is bandannas and dog collars.

Am also considering the move up to v. hard as nothing has been too challenging and i don't want it to be over too quickly.

Dogmeat in my camp has heavy armour and helmet and a big metal chain collar. Doesn't give him any protection but he looks badass.
 
I'm considering going from easy to normal, I'm killing things very fast now, which is a nice feeling but I don't want to lose the feeling of fear.
 
I had this problem with skyrim. Maybe it has something to do with obsessively crafting nice stuff but I start the game with some difficulties, perhaps a couple of bottlenecks while I get vital skills and then reach a point where things get progressively easier instead of harder. There are incongruities, sentry bots are nails and their offensive capacities huge, but overall I had much more fear at the beginning when I triggered a group of ghouls with nothing more advanced than a double barrelled shotgun.
 
Wow I'm only about 12-15 hours in, shows what intelligence does for you :)

Not to say you aren't intelligent , just perk wise /paranoia

Actually I avoided taking any Xp perk because I kept thinking of the level cap in other fallout games. I badly want about 8 perks at present

Wow, really? Have you been taking loads of pics? I mean I play what I think is a relatively slow game - plenty of random wandering, obsessive corner exploration, lots of inventory sorting - but am still 27 at er... probably 80 hours by now. Int is 7 iirc.
 
I still don't really know what to choose , but I'm usually drunk so playing in the morning I get really confused , perhaps as a master lock fukker I can now go back and get the cryogun..

Hmm
 
Ah there's an earlier post not so far away stating it , if I can remember when I get home il post em up , maxed out int , about 6 perception and some gun nut ones but I've barely touched the story , done loads for the Minutemen and brotherhood and just wandering around looking for trouble :)
 
My nices bit of loot are two pieces of armour one slows time for 20sec when I am at very low health and the other gives me two points of luck.

I don't suppose you can transfer them? They're low damage resistance though.

You mean put them on something else? No. Uniques can't be scrapped... You can enhance them though of course.

Seems pretty sensible. I've gone for crafting (mostly gun nut, but recently acquired a level in armourer, also science) a bit of stealth, rifles, locks and hacking (not strictly needed) and some strength just because I want to carry more things. Local leader rank 1 is an essential for settlements but is CHR 6 iirc. Scrapping perks are useful too, although rank 2 doesn't give as much as I'd hoped for.

Shame. They're only raider or metal and I know I can enhance them but I imagine I'm going to need something with more omph (or able to take more omph) later in game.

There is no level cap in this game, thank the maker. I hate level caps.

I have a handful of perks I really want, but rankle at the investment to get there so end up dumping my points in other stuff instead and getting grumpy I'm no closer to the ones I really want :D

I want the chem resistant perks. I love love love psychojet, and want to be able to pop that shit like candy. I want all the mod perks, so gun nut, science, armorer. I think I have level 3 of gun nut now, level 2 of armorer, level 1 of science. Hacking and lockpicking of course, and all the sneak skills. Strong back and all the lone wanderer perks, because I'm already using deep pockets on almost everything but it's never enough. Aqua girl would be great, because I bet there's loads of fun shit to find underwater, there was in Skyrim. Plus it would make navigation a bit easier - just swim across the bay! I'd love the perk that lets radiation heal you, but that's right at the bottom of endurance I think. I've got 9 luck, and I might eventually put the final point in it so I can get that ricochet perk, which sounds fun. I still don't have local leader, but I've finally put enough into charisma that I can get it whenever I want now.

There's just so much I want. I should try to stay focused on a particular character type I want to pursue, rather than go for everything - that way subsequent characters will feel more unique.

I take quite a few, but I don't think I spend as much time taking them as I did in DAI, for example. I just play slow. I've been wandering and stumbling upon things rather than being focused in chasing down side quests, I think that has an impact on XP.
 
I can't play a game that has crafting and not craft from the outset. I have to keep my weapons and armour as absolutely fine tuned as possible. Most of my current guns are maxed out in terms of their mods (sans scopes, since I don't like them and stick to reflex sights). All my materials go on upgrading my gear, and almost none of it on settlement stuff or selling for caps or barter. I am the target audience for crafting systems. It makes me feel slightly uncomfortable to consider some of you haven't been crafting from hour one.

You'll keep getting new unique/legendary items. And there are a few you can buy. As you go through the game, different armour types start appearing, from leather to metal to raider to combat and synth, and I believe heavy is a tier as well. There's also a 'sturdy' version of one of those, I forget which. I don't know what else is available, probably quite a bit here and there. The game won't leave you with shitty early game gear but will be balanced to provide progression of some sort.
