**** Official Fallout 4 Thread ****

Re Assaultrons and general difficulty etc., I did say early in the game, currently being on around L26 or thereabouts. Guess I need to start putting more points into rifles as Reba II, an Incendiary Sniper and Overseer's Guardian plus a freezing combat shotgun are my main arsenal. However the perk/level system has me torn as I also want to get more points into the scavenging (huge shortage of screws and oil) and crafting perks to upgrade the weapons as well.

I've encountered (and fixed) an odd bug. I'll mention it here in case it happens to anyone else.

After quite some time playing without issues other than the expected glitches such as brahmin somehow getting onto and stuck in roofs, I started getting quite frequent freezes. I had to use task manager to kill the process and then FO4 wouldn't work until after a reboot. This was just after the first patch and using the console to increase the settlement size in some settlements, so I thought one of those might be the cause.

Looking around, I stumbled onto a related post somewhere (I forget where) about saved games. So I moved most of my saved games into a backup folder...and the problem was solved. I have no idea why it worked.

Didn't Bethesda state something like this in a press release? Was something to do with using cheats or console commands and it breaking the game/saves...?

Thanks for the tip RE fencing, but iirc the junk fences don't snap to foundations - or anything, which is a bit tedious.

Get scrapper 2, pickup all the pipe weapons, 10mm pistols, other crap tier weapons and scrap them, profit.

This.

I pick up every laser pistol/institute wep/pipe gun and scrap them - got hundreds of screws. And copper, which I found rather hard to find.

All of the toys (Cars/trucks) typically have them too.

Oh, if anyone is looking for Aluminium - the hospitals and fish-packing factories are amazing for this, plus they respawn... Think I got 130 odd aluminium from one fish-packing factory.

Hit up hospitals for fibre optics too - they're generally loaded with microscopes. Disarming laser tripwires also works well, but they are a bit rarer -
Jamaica Plain has about 20 of the tripwires in one area though, leading through to the historical vault thing they built

I did this a few times. Not to a well, but I got myself stuck in places they didn't ever think people would go inside. Like using the Jetpack and getting stuck in funnels on the top of factories.

I like to explore..

So, bought this a couple of weeks ago, last night was my first chance to play it. Haven't ever played Fallout before.

I spent about 5 minutes creating each character, I created me and my wife. Figured I'd play as my wife so I could admire my dashing good looks.

10 minutes later I've got bullet holes in my chest and I'm either on the verge of death in the cryo machine or am just full on dead :p

Haha that's the one! Luckily I drowned down there and the save was a few minutes before. A different legendary weapon dropped though the second time around, which wasn't as good as the first time :mad:
 
Im level 30 and 35hours in.
My main quest I think is 'hunter/hunted' without spoilers have I got much of the main quest left? Ive just got the castle and I have been to the BoS place. Not touched settlement building apart from the initial stuff. The game does not end after the main quest anyway does it?
