Saugus Ironworks was easy, sneak and rifles make everything simple... :p

Also, sod Stimpaks, they're only any good forcompanions. The stuff you can cook from the wasteland animals have much better properties.

weight is the issue with stimpaks they take up none :D
 
Incase some of you had problem with the recent game update, Nexus Mod Manager have now been updated and can be used as normal without the mods being uninstalled.

 
I'll be holding off putting up a review on the Rainforest until I've at least finished one playthrough to the end. Although I've been posting some criticism of the levelling and much tougher combat compared to previous, that isn't spoiling my overall enjoyment of the game. Might be worth adopting a more "Deus Ex" mindset and approach locations stealthily but whereas DE HR you could circumvent or stun bad guys FO4 is expecting you to clear an area to pass the mission. When 4 or 5 blokes wielding flamers and molotovs are coming at you, stealth isn't going to work.A decent cover system (a la Mass Effect), might have...

Haven't really messed with construction much other than the compulsory sections. A useful mechanic having introduced this, would have been non-combat missions where the various settlements offer building tasks. It should be easier to transfer materials from one Workbench to that at another location, or expand the buildable/scrapable area to get materials. Taking up valuable inventory space because it's the only way to lug concrete from one location to another is not ideal.

Reliability - only two crashes so far, one feeze and one CTD both in the same location so not really an issue for me.

A good proportion of the one star reviews at Rainforest were people who bought the disk version, to find they still had to download most of it from Steam. IMHO that's a bit false and not really rating the game itself.

building materials such as concrete, steel and wood are available from all workbenches once you set up a supply line between settlements

so if you have 50 concrete, 50 wood and 50 steel at sanctuary and none at red rocket, you set up a supply line from sanctuary to red rocket and those materials become available to you at red rocket

other things are not shared such as any apparel or weapons..they will always only be at whichever workbench you left them at,but building materials are available at any settlements you have linked

I have local leader rank 2, and still knew nothing about trade lines :o

when you are in build mode in your settlement you can approach a settler
when their outline is highlighted you can opt to send them to another settlement entirely, you can manually assign them to a task such as farming, or a scavenger table, or you can set up a supply line, and choose which settlement to link up with, they will move between the settlements with a pack brahmin...this means all building materials and food is then shared between those linked settlements

the food thing is important because at least one of the settlements cannot grow plants or build wells!

the provisioners cannot be killed thankfully as they negotiate some tricky routes

Yes I knew about assigning to different tasks such as trader, farmer or guard duty but that settlement linking was still unknown to me. Thanks for the tips guys, will do that tonight then :)

Currently at level 25, level 2 leader
 
Where do you get a gauss rifle? I swear I've been to every location and I've not found one. Just RNG or what?

Wouldn't mind finding a nice two-shot one!
 
Went to the museum of witchcraft last night. Was expecting some a lot scarier. The creature encounter was tough but a little underwhelming.

Just got given Reba II was nice :D

Single shot one is already insane anyway!

Cant actually remember where I got mine......mostly save it for tough battles.

IIRC the brotherhood vendor sells one(could be wrong).

That explains why I don't find any, don't want to steal anything and I didn't side with the institute against the railroad.

You can buy one from the Minuteman vendor, pretty early on depending on how you play. Its quiet abit if caps though, you can get it after you

Go through the castle mission, then speak to Ronnie Shaw, she becomes a vendor during the day time

Also around the southern areas's few enemies carry them there I have found. I got my first one at level 20 or something against a random Legendary raider. Was a nice surprise.
 
the whole settlement maintenance thing its annoying the hell out of me. For an RPG game you would think there would be a "dont give a damn about them" option so you can just get on with your life. I ignored the muniteman quests and got on with the game, but had a couple of them queued up, a generic "save a settlement" quest and the Castle one. So i did the save the settlers one first which then told me to report back to the minuteman guy, but becuase i had the castle one on my list that kicked in and wouldnt let me finnish the other one! so ive now got to clear out the castle and set that up before i can speak to him to finnish the original quest off!

I dont like crafting in any game but just feel forced into it in F4 and managing all the components and workstations is driving me nuts. Although now ive got ballistic weave i could just ignore it all now. I think on the whole i preferred Fallout 3. I just want a nuclear option like F3 had so I can kill everyone and just on with the game :)
 
You dont really have to do much with settlements if you dont want. Few quests and such but I find it worthwhile(vendors, storage, crafting).

Its not "that" bad once you get used to building stuff. :)

You can kill most people. My first Fallout game I have not tried to kill everyone, just the brotherhood. :)

Done the side quest with the bartneder in diamond city? where you ambush the deal being done for the chems.
Trish was being a silly cow and wouldn't tell me the password for the chem factory, anyone managed to extract it from her by any chance?

Yup charisma checked her, had 10 points in it from start and surprisingly never failed one throughout my whole playthrough.

It feels silly that they are so random still though - you can reliably just reload a few times and eventually you'll pass the check no matter how bad your CHR is... You shouldn't have to do that and it sucks that the temptation is there. Much preferred the system in New Vegas (*not* in FO3) where it was a straight up binary check - you either have the required speech or other skill required to say something, or you don't...
