Couldn't get the dog to get me the special weapon...but didn't know I had to kneel down it appears. I need to go back to the vault anyway to check my armor.

I am about level 10 just started playing and cleared out the raiders and killed Jared. Could anyone get on the platform where he was?

I have had the subtitle glitch that has been mentioned and one in the water. I got stuck and couldn't move and died.
You can fast travel in the Power Armor and it doesn't cost any power, this includes fast traveling with an empty core. So you can go back get in the suit and fast travel to wherever you want to store it at (probably whatever you constitute as your main settlement).

Re: Fallout 4

Also any Power Armor suits you've found show up on the map, as long as no one else is using it. NPC's can and will climb into them and then you'll "lose" them. However either this doesn't happen in your settlements, or friendly's don't use them, so they are safe there.

Those are Mini-Nuke's. Same thing's the Fat Man gun fires.

I think those are the Children of the Atom, which is a religious cult that worships nuclear bombs (or maybe a specific nuclear bomb/missile, not sure in this game).

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it will only show the last suit you've used on the map. It won't show you all of the ones you've used at one time which is why I make sure and just bring them all back to my settlement as I find them.

Spoiler:

There's a bridge you open with a button. Didn't figure that out until after he was dead though, so I basically had to slowly snipe him and the turrets down which wasn't that quick of a process.


As far as Power Armor, even though it's better than the other stuff I have, I don't like it that much. I don't like the view and how clunky it feels, and I just like wearing goofy crap. For the longest time I was walking around with no pants, didn't notice I could wear my vault suit (and probably some other stuff) under it so I was just living with it (and finding it kind of funny that no one was saying anything). Then I was in Sanctuary and someone said "do you know you're not wearing any pants" and I finally figured it out.

Re: Fallout 4

I like to play on the "very easy" mode but some games punish you for doing this (i.e. shitty ending) - does Fallout do that? I ask this because I saw in the menu when selecting very easy that it said something about legendary monsters not being made available.

The higher the difficulty, the better loot drops you'll get. I started on normal and after leveling and getting perks, the game became too easy. Bumped it up to hard and have been getting challenging but not frustrating enemies. The enemies don't turn into bullet sponges. There's just more of them.

Re: Fallout 4

Had a pretty serious game breaking glitch happen this morning, thankfully after and 10 tries I was able to get it figured out end game spoilers so don't read if you don't want to be spoiled

Spoiler:
When making the final teleport out of the institute right before you nuke it, the platform you arrive on would not spawn, you would just teleport in, and fall the to ground to your death. Other people seem to have had the same issue, and they think it had to do with wearing power armor when you make your last trip in. What worked for me was turning off the navigation markers in V.A.T.S I still left the set of power armor I stole from the BoS when I slaughtered them, and I didn't lose my good set

I'm thinking about bumping up to hard. I haven't had too much difficulty, except when I wander into areas where I'm obviously underleveled.

A friendly used my power armor when super mutants attacked the garage while I was there.

*shrug* Honestly I'm not sure. I thought I had to Power Armor's marked on my map, but one was left behind, so it's no longer showing up.

I'm clearly not the Fallout 4 expert I thought I was. Do they at least get out of them after the fight?

Yes.

Something like that happened to me. Decided to run a little against a big enemy, so I took off my body armor, as soon as the big enemy attacked me, the friendly NPC ran away to take my armor. That was actually really helpful. He did most of the work, while I was hiding.

Then I tried to take my body armor back and he wouldn't let me

But when the quest ended, he left and left the body armor there.

Re: Fallout 4

Anyone playing this on PC? If so, are you using a controller or mouse and keyboard?

Playing on PC with controller. I was once a big mouse/KB guy but had consoles last gen... so now the Mouse/KB seems awkward. Tough to lean back in a comfy chair and use a mouse/KB.

Re: Fallout 4

Controller on PC playing on my big screen. Pretty much all my PC gaming is done on a couch nowadays. I can recline fine on my couch with a KBM though. Just have a nice/solid mouse pad that I put next to me on the middle section of the couch and my keyboard on my lap, works great.

Re: Fallout 4

Mouse and keyboard, even on a slower shooter i'm not a fan of using a controller with any sort of first person game. That said, some of the keyboard controls are annoying.

Re: Fallout 4

Finished the main quest line this morning with 68 hrs 27 min logged.
Spoiler:
I kind of figured there would be some twist with aging but never expected Shaun to be 60 years old. I was at first disappointed that there was no end boss or crazy robot animals to fight. But the more I think about it the more I realize it's not a cliched ending like all big RPG's have. And this being a Bethesda game I wasn't expecting to be blown away by the end of the main quest line as my favorite moments come more from the side quests than anything else.


I still have yet to do much with the faction quests and side quest stories.

I sided with the institute. Was that really the final quest for the main story? I fast traveled back to the commonwealth and gave the downloaded tape to the guy that helped me build the teleporter from the Minutemen

Well, I just finished Bloodborne two days before starting this, so for me the quicksaves are awesome.

I haven't leveled up Luck hardly at all, but after reading some of this I think I am going to start.

My biggest "problem" now is I feel like I have 6-7 missions going at once. I have to wind some up before I start another but I just keep saying yes to everything because it's do darn fun.

Re: Fallout 4

Damn you people are fast! My character has just been slowly sauntering through the world. Sure, she's concerned about her son, but she's also concerned with setting up successful settlements all over the place, as well as hoarding weapons and ammo.

Re: Fallout 4

I'm getting irritated at having to travel back to the settlement to dump crap off all the time. A meager 10 lbs of capacity per point added to strength is bullshit. It is just not worth doing. Many guns weigh more than 10 lbs. I think this is way off when you consider all the crap you have to lug around.
