It's was especially bad for one mission where I went to the settlement that right next to it have another market location with a deathclaw next to it (which I found out was there the hard way). They're all "oh there's a place just around the corner with something nasty inside of it. Please help us get rid of it before something bad happens" so of course I'm thinking it's deathclaw killing time, and I'm not really looking forward to it, but since I've already got Mr Minuteman with me and everything I decide to do it anyway. I look at the map. It's not the place next doors. It's some place all over on the other side of the worldspace. With three ghouls in it.

So, uh. If you need something dead yesterday, full-auto plasma does the trick. Burned through a Deathclaw Matriarch in about three or four seconds.

On the same list of "little mistakes".
Power armor isn't airtight. Whilst it feels really cool clomping around the ocean floor- you are actually holding your breath there.
So... Don't stay down too long. Or get the perk.

Mireluke cake lets you breath underwater, no need to waste a perk on something youll nearly never use.

[Flying Dice]

Yeah, but the one to not take rad damage from water is a massive irritant-reducer.

yeah it is. it even has pressured air bottles on the back of the armor and tubes going to the helmet.
it just doesnt have unlimited air supply.


regarding the random missions:

damn till i figured they out they kept me from doing ANYTHING useful :/
great for leveling up tho.
anyway, the trick seems to be to finish them, but never turn them in. that will both stop them from failing and from trigering a new one.

I use the alien blaster for the same purposes.

Anyway, I came here because I just saw a loading tip that informed me "When the Institute released its first batch of synths, they tried to work with people in the commonwealth, but mutual mistrust ended that relationship quickly"

THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THIS IS EVER HINTED AT. A RANDOM LOADING TIP.

AMERICA IS RACIST

I thought everyone knew this?

[miauw62]

I never knew how much I wanted a giant sword to go with the power armor until now.

A giant flaming, electrified, spiked chainsword. Feral ghouls are heretic scum and must be purged!

You'd think that ghouls are mutants, not heretics.
Sure, you have supermutants, but those are more like chaos marines.

How is that racism?

You mean Orks. BoS is SPESS MERHENS. Minutemen are the Imperial Guard. Institute are some odd combo of the Tau and the Mechanicus. Raiders are chaos cultists.

Purge the Mutant, Clense the Heretic, Kill the Alien.

*Edit, wrong order of purge-killing.

[Rolan7]

Hell, the raider-cultists even have their own ugly spehs mahreen knockoffs.

[Knave]

Does anyone else spend maybe too much time dressing up their settlers with funny hats and giving them back stories?

I have one guy I call Rusty. He guards the gate of Sanctuary and wears a captain's hat.

Ok, Beth, nice work on making the game less buggy then your other releases, but it is FUCKING RIDICULOUS that every crash requires me to turn my computer off. Tried ctrl+alt+delete, but the black screen prevents the task manager from showing.

This...is this an issue with this game in particular, or is it because my new computer came pre-loaded with the abomination that is Windows 10?

[Rolan7]

I've noticed that Steam takes several minutes to sync after the game closes.  Happens for other games too, but taking noticeably longer for this one.  When it's syncing, trying to launch the game pretty silently "waits" for it to complete.

Maybe that's what's happening for you?  I think rebooting the computer is one way to cancel the sync.

[BFEL]

No this is "game crashes in a loading screen and then refuses to let me manually kill the program"

Anyway, the BOS's reasoning for making you kill Virgil is...actually pretty decent. I mean considering everyone else it and the other factions want you to kill is given the reasoning of "BUT I WANT TO SEE THEM DIIIIIIE!", "because he has the knowledge to create a supermutant army" is fairly well reasoned out.

I mean, they're all still horrible people (and yes, I've since realized THEY ALL ARE FUCKING MONSTERS, NOT JUST MAXSON. Oh, except Haylen. And MAYBE Danse.) and need to die, but they've at least managed to actually give ONE decent argument for their actions.
