| This is my 3rd time. But I never had the dlc’s before. I got them this time. I’m playing it a little different with weapons. I’m running nothing but single action weapons. I’m going Kellogg's revolver . A trucked out with perk double barrel shotgun . A perked bolt action rifle(50) . By now I got them built up. I carry either a perked super sledgehammer built up. Lastly the Hunters sword maxed out. I will carry the relentlessly Authority built up . Break glass in case of emergency. I only go to it when I have my ass handed to me to many times. I hit a shit load of ammo for it. I like going around with ADA. I got him built up with an axe hand and that lazer arm. Ada kicks fucken ass. Carry’s a shit load also. As far as gal pals goes PIPER . Cait is a crack hoe. Need to take meathead back out. Been a while. Sanctuary is really the only place I got beefed up . Nothing special. But good defenses. I just got local leader. So now I can share supplies to build up other places. My Castle quest is stuck. It will not advance. It’s says clear out egg nest. And put power on radio transmitters. Generators built and wired correctly. There are no nest or eggs left. I got the correct generators hooked up. I’ve read it’s the clearing of the nest that the issue is. I’m to far along to go reload a earlier save. I did get the lever action rifle. I don’t carry it yet due to no ammo. Read I got to go to harbor to get some. Thought I’d share , WarDawg |

I had been playing Fallout 4 for a couple weeks before my Aunt came to visit. She was talking about the daughter of one of my cousins whom I had never met who was suppose to be on "Americas next top model" but who she claimed was too pretty so she was dropped (I am a little suspicious about that). She showed me pictures and video's of commercials she had done and than an advertisement for Fallout 4. One of the photo's in the beginning of the game was based upon my cousins daughter and she was the basis for the female character although, as you know, you can modify it heavily. I kind of felt creepy thinking I had been looking at the ass of my cousins daughter for the past two weeks... Great game. I've played it through four times although I could never bring myself to play for the institute...

It is what it is …….

Played FO3 a few fimes. My daughter has a xbox one and I saw it loaded the other day when we were over visiting. Looked pretty good so I'll order the physical preorder due out April 28th for the switch 2 Probably get to play it next fall/winter when it's getting dark earlier. Be a big change for me last new game I bought on release date was FEAR. |

But it’s the danger of being vulnerable that’s draws me. Who here hadn’t just went around a deathclaw or large gang of super mutants. I have. They was just to strong. To many. That’s the draw. Being vulnerable. I’m not vulnerable with the maxed out revolver and double barrel shotgun. But I’m not god mode either. |

| Well I been over in nuke cola land. Went out on the quest to clear out this or that. I was in the tunnels and it got really hard to kill the big crabs. Really hard. Like I was shooting blanks. I did kill a couple but took a very long time. I searched why ??? It stated Nuke Cola was set up as an end game quest. Making the creatures and robots very strong. Stated to die alot or come back with better equipment and skill set. I’m going to round up a 12 pack of beer and collect a lot of mini nukes and go back and have a bbq. With my revolver and lever action rifle 45/70 . Im presently at far harbor. I went there just to get the 45/70 ammo. But decided to stay a while. |

Mods are a great way to keep combat always challenging. I've also done playthroughs only using gear and weapons I actually own. That certainly made the Glowing Sea rough... |
| Well i stepped up in weapons. I’m carrying a Tesla rifle ( I think ) and kelloggs pistol. In far harbor and cola world the competition is a big step up from the common wealth. I find myself throwing grenades and mines hell of a lot more. Just to soften them up. I took out nearly the entire large group of ghouls that was at the drive in in far harbor i snuck around back of them and set a shit ton of mines. It was funny they was all watching the movie that was playing on the screen. I got close enough to them that I was spotted on purpose. I ran them through my mine field. When I turned around ADA was ground and pounding the only one left. Sadly I didn’t get to see them get blown up. I had my back to them running away. SOB. |
| I have been doing the same thing but with a curated mod collection, A story wealth. Its like a new game. And I spent a ton of time building a raider processing center so ammo and supplies are never an issue any more, plus it auto sorts my loot when I get back and just dump everything into one container. |

I maxed out the perk of carrying weight. So the last bump you can fast travel while overloaded. So when I complete my quest I go back and scrounge the battle field. I have fast traveled back to my crib carrying over 1000 pounds. I been screwing myself for two complete games and most of this current game. I have been dropping all my loot and then scrapping it individually. It’s time consuming. I never knew just put it in storage on the work center and it will self scrap as you need it. I believe that’s how it works. I’m currently mainly carrying the two shot lever action rifle. Kneecracker western revolver. I also carry a guass rifle. And the alien pistol maxed out as a sharpshooter. Its range is over 300. For my melee carry I carry the World Series baseball bat from Jamaica plains. It’s maxed out. I have the melee perk almost maxed. It’s fun hitting a super mutant and watching him fly 50 yards through the air. |

Couldn’t even tell you how many play throughs I’ve done. I mod the heck out of mine though, every time is a bit different. Same with FO3 and NV, I think they’re all quite a bit longer than the original games with added quest. Tactical Piper Attached File |

bumping this....so i started another playthrough and didnt really have an idea what i wanted to do but I'm realizing I really haven't tapped the potential. So Far: - went after some cool new-to-me power armor to have on hand (Enclave, and Speak of the Devil X02) - did a few quests I hadn't before - upped my lockpicking (going to go back and hit safes) - started upping some perks I havent before (science and others) Want to do: - Priority I think: I've never built a cool settlement, always just enough to have resources and keep them happy. I think I want to build a cool Vault 88. I already cleared it all out (mirelurk queen and legendary deathclaw, opened all blocked pathways). - Get supply chains going to gather resources. - I am also building robots for the first time. I built a new guy and also upgraded Ada who has been pretty good. I want to build a top tier assaultron. I'm not very creative, some very cool V88 build-ups out there. Not sure how much I can accomplish without mods but going to tinker. |

Not sure how much I can accomplish without mods but going to tinker. All sounds good, only thing I disagree with is Power Armor. Never worn it outside the initial Concord/MoF quest, thought it was more a hinderance than help. Built up quite a few settlements, getting the electricity going can be a bugger for the vanilla game due to lack of resources. As to mods, I love them but not needed if your a purist, everything just takes longer, my first play through 10 years or so ago was a unmodded game. My motto… There’s alway room for Abraxo! |
