Did you leave the power core inside the power armor? They shouldn't get taken by AI if you remove the power core.

Yep, that's what I always do. It has been mentioned here before.

Also, not that caps are an issue, but if you take the power core when it still has power, above 0%, you can sell it to vendors.

I made it about 40 hours before the game crashed for the first time, unfortunately for me it was when I had the Mirelurk Queen at The Castle down to about 10% life left

I think that's the only "Boss" battle that has taken me some time. I was under Level 20, I think, and it took me almost an hour, and several deaths.

I died once, but I was level 32 with a missed laucher that did extra limb damage so I just fired missiles at her legs and it didn't take very long.

I barely made it through but I also used like 35 stimpacks.

So if you romance Piper and Cait, do you need to have them in separate locations?

If you first romance them when the other is in the vicinity they might disapprove. But if you've already maxed them out and they're just a companion they can all be in the same location. I sent ALL the companions to the drive-in and there was never a problem when I switched between any of them.

I don't think so. Cait was in Sanctuary while I took Piper out. and then I swapped them out and got have both the perks. Doing chems and drinking seems to speed up the relationship with Cait.

I already cured Cait (crap)... so who gives you the lover's embrace if they are both in the same place and you sleep? Or does it not say who it is only that you feel it.

Well, 100 hours and I think I haven't met Cait. (Not asking how to meet her, I know how to Google).

I haven't finished the main story though. I just started the Institute quests.

I found her by accident.

I don't think it says.

I had to clear super mutants out from the toy factory for one of the settlements tonight. Just doing some recon before hand it has has 2 legendary and a bunch of regular ones. I start the attack and this one that's tagged comes out chasing after me, I kill him, and I get the message that I completed the objective. Meanwhile I have ammunition and grenades raining down upon me from the mutants still there

Me too.

I made female character, can I still romance the women?

Of course! Some even say that it's easier to romance women if you have a female character.

I just "found" the Railroad. What a pain it was to follow that red line. Ugh...sitting at about level 38. I don't have to "stay" with them correct?

Anyone see the Macho Man Deathclaw mod? That was hilarious. Even better than the Skyrim dragon.

They also have thomas the train mod

Although I found Thomas in Skyrim a lot scarier.

Correct. Like anything in Fallout.

But don't worry, you can fast travel from, and back, the Railroad HQ after one mission. Their tasks are not that bad. And the companion, Deacon, is fine too.

And if you follow Tinker Toms quests you get the cool ballistic armor mods.

That is what I want!! Sweet.

I initially thought all you long timers of this series were just nitpicking when it came to the dialogue choices being limited and not really changing much.....until I went and checked out some of the role playing stuff from fallout 2......whoa shit I would have loved that in fallout 4....so yeah, they need to bring that back for sure.

Is there a way to see how many hours you've put in? I know I've put in probably 50, so I have a long way to go, but I'm curious the actual #.
