"Please Stand By" - Bethesda

I certainly remember New Vegas being a tough introduction. I have strong memories of being massacred by Deathclaws and Super Mutants if I veered too far out of the kindergarten areas.

I remember being killed by that lizard thing right at the start :lol:

I think 4 seems harder if you head out exploring straight away. Its clear they want you to follow the story for a bit and level up. Once i got over the initial hump its been pretty smooth sailing.

I thought super mutants were bad until i met 'The Swan'...

Two weeks ago when I first played Fallout 4 I got killed by a stupid Stingwing.

I'm finally getting enough time to to myself to sit down and play for more than 30 minutes at a time, yesterday I was heading to the Cervega Energy Plant and got killed by 3 Mirelurks that popped up and all I have is the 10mm you find when first escaping the vault and a pipe rifle. The lesson I've learnt is that death stalks you everywhere early on! :lol:

Got an institute pistol and I feel like I can defend myself a little bit better.

Heaps of fun though, reckon I played for 4 hours straight yesterday when I got home.

Question I have is did anyone join the Brotherhood of Steel at the end of a particular mission?

 

[Misanthrope]

I joined up. Opens up a bunch of radiant (repeatable) quests and a new quest line akin to that done by the Minutemen.

 

[McLovin]

My biggest complaint so far would be the companion AI. Alot of the time when you tell them to 'go' to a location in the hope that they'll draw attention or attack the enemy on the way they kind of just ignore everything.

Anyone been to Covenant yet?

 

[Misanthrope]

God, Piper drives me crazy. I'm sneaking around and she f**king gallops ahead of me and triggers an ambush I'd been carefully planting plasma mines to f**k up.

Smashed that bitch at The Castle.... Nothing like a missile launcher for that boss.

Haven't joined Brotherhood yet, but probably will after I finish a few of the many quest I have queued up.

Well, I didn't go exploring straight away - I stuck to missions.

And the random encounters messed me up.

f**k.

I hate Dogmeat - dumb shit keeps blocking doorways for me.

 

[McLovin]

f**k.

Haha that's another thing that annoys me. Lining up an enemy in first person scope mode only for a companion to walk directly in front of the scope... :?

f**k.

I use Curie the most. Got to turn her into a synth and flirt with her haha

 

[Parra Pride]

Never had any real issues with companion AI, but I'm a guns blazing type of guy. I stick to Dogmeat mainly since the Lone Wanderer perk still works with him. Did use Cait until I tapped that, though.

 

[DB]

I don't mind Cogsworth atm

 

[Misanthrope]

Having maxed out romance with Piper, I've just sent her to one of my settlements so I can try my luck with Cait.

I'll watch the video when I get home, but does anyone know if you can get your armour workbench back once you scrapped it?

I suppose I could build one, but I've heard it only comes in at later levels.

I might have to check if Red Rocket has one.... If not, I remember there was one on a building near the Corvega Plant.

Hrmmmm.

Do you guys use naming schemes for your guns/armour? So far I've got a 10mm upgraded called Monica and a Glow Rifle called Chandler. They go alright but got annihilated by a super mutant suicide bomber this morning.

 

[afinalsin666]

Build one, they are really cheap.

Suicide Bombers are a pain. Shoot their arm in VATS from a distance, they'll blow up.

Cheers, I joined but haven't seen them since as I'm still exploring the landscape and doing Minutemen quests.

Yesterday I was being slaughtered by a Feral Ghoul Reaver whilst trying to clear out the National Guard Training Yard. I bugged out to head back to sanctuary with the thought maybe I should do some of the main story and level up (currently level 8).

if you doing main quest missions there is a point i where you will certainly notice their presence.....
