What's new

Fallout 4

Upgrade your science perk (under intelligence I think) if you're using plasma weapons, then you'll be able to upgrade them on the weapons workbenches.

I use rifles and then upgraded the gunslinger perk which grants additional damage on single shot rifles.

 
I'm currently shooting sh*t up with a .50 sniper rifle and double explosive shotgun, they are beasts. Barely ever used power armour yet.

 
So, loaded Fallout up yesterday.

Only played for a little bit, just got out of the vault and met my dog at that gas station. Not sure where to go from here! I'm looting pretty much every item I come across, even coffee mugs, desk fans and packs of cigarettes.

 
You'll need to store your junk at settlements, or you'll quickly be carrying too much to run and fast travel

I was the same.

Didn't really know what to do, not played it in over a week...just don't have the time.

 
I made a mistake when going through places for the first time. I hadn't realised at the time that any place with a workbench becomes a settlement...you just have to interact with the bench. Had to go back to the drive in, and there's a couple more I think I missed somewhere.

I definitely find the Synths the most unsettling enemy so far (with a lot of game to come). The Boston Mayoral shelter and the Malden centre have been the eeriest places for me.

I really need to start using power armour. I haven't used any since the mission where you get it. I keep thinking I don't want to take it out and run out of power part way through a location clear...but I figure most of the time I won't need it anyway. Most of the time the enemies aren't so strong I die unless I have some huge missplays. But then of course, there are times where I'm not expecting the really scary enemy, and I die in like two hits, and have to keep replaying until I get it down.

I have, I think 8 power cores now...so...I guess I don't really need to worry about it for now. So I think I'll dust off the armour and see if I can find some enemies worthy of facing it.

I'm finding the settlement making a bit frustrating...I'm trying to link them all up with supply chains, but I don't have enough settlers to manage it. I sent one settler from Sanctuary (one I'd collected randomly) to the Abernathy farm, with the intention to make him a provisioner to the drive-in...but he never showed up. Do settlers you send from one place to another die along the way at times?

 
Got the Platinum trophy.

Basically nothing else to do in the game now expect try to stumble upon more random locations.

Ended up at level 60.

 
Anyone done the quest where they have to return the Deathclaw's Egg?

The Museum of Witchcraft is pretty scary. They do a really good job of building up the tension.

One moment where you turn a corner and you see a figure just standing there. Music peaks. Kind of expect to look back and see that he's disappeared, but alas, he's a mannequin. Genius!

Looted an explosive shotgun yesterday.

Haven't come across a .50 sniper rifle yet.

Managed to get Kelloggs Pistol upto 120 attack. Basically just steam rolling everything at the moment. Killed Swan and a Level 61 Legendary Deathclaw.

Only level 22!

Played some fallout tonight...it was pretty eventful...rescued someone from some pyros, found an alien, and then a vault.

Good times.

 
I went to the witchcracft museum but I think the quest completed just by finding it, so I don't think I went in.

I returned the egg, but the waiting deathclaw attacked me anyway, i think i lingered too long. had to run away as I didn't want to kill it

 
Going to be getting rid of this. Haven't got the time to sit down and play it for hours and end, I prefer games I can pick up and put down so I guess this isn't really the best game for me.

Does anyone know of anyone who wants a copy for PS4? Happy to sell.

 
Played some more tonight...while I disliked Mierlurks, I now..really dislike them.

I fought my first Mierlurk Queen....sheeeeeesh. Afterwards I went and explored some more, and in a weird little town, I fought a dozen brutal mierlurks (not normal or softshell).

 
Shoot the bar stewards in the legs first, cripple them. Then enjoy a nice leisurely shooting the sh*t out of them as they crawl after you.

 
My problem is...I don't prepare for every situation. I never take out my power armour, so if I meet a big enemy, it invariably kills me a few times before I can formulate a tactic that works. That tactic, bear in mind, doesn't involve heavy weapons...because that's too much to carry around for little ole' me.

But my new tactic is to have my companion carry a missile launcher for me...and if I am entering combat with an enemy that's going to be hard, grab it off them. I think I'll start using power armour more too...I do have some fusion cores to use.

I barely used my power armour in my play through,ended up with about 75 fusion cores.

Was the Mirelurk Queen in the castle, for the Minutemen? I did all the Minutemen quests till then but haven't been able to do that one with the Mirelurk Queen, so am doing the BoS ones now.

It killed me the 1st time so the second time, I put down about 20 mines where it comes out.Then just finished it off with the missile launcher.
