New settlers, atleast that I have found, take jobs that are open when they join...

Sometimes.

[AoshimaMichio]

What? You have to tell people what to do? Are all wastelanders freeloaders?

[Gabeux]

The only job they automatically pick is farming, from what I've seen. Except one time, on a certain fort settlement, a settler that arrived decided to be a guard on his own.
About beds, I never had to assign a settler to a bed. And I have many full settlements, so how that bug works?
I also never had someone not-do their jobs either. Scavangers can roam around the base but they are still, theoretically, assigned and producing. Farmers make food even if you trap them in walls afaik. Guards assign themselves to multiple posts (after you assign them to a post) and spend some time on each (I never had more than 1 guard, though).

And yeah, building on uneven terrain is pretty annoying. I adopted a Wasteland-Construction mindset so I just stick junk fences on gaps, and when I'm forced to build uneven walls i'll try to plop that foundation floor to pretend its even. That's the only way I found to build fast without getting too annoyed, but it doesn't look nice.

Remember that foundation floors are your friend. And can look pretty awesome at certain locations, such as the swampy areas or the coast.
Also, new settlers will automatically start farming, If there aren't any available farming jobs, they will do scavenging. Not sure how effective scavenging is.

A small probably non-spoilery thing I discovered not long ago.
Apparently you do not drown when using power armor. But you cannot swim either.
But walking under water is kind of interesting.
As far as I know though..  Bethesda have not done much about under water stuff.
A shame really.

I think you can eventually drown.

There didn't seem to be no indicator of drowning when I wore a power armor.
Of course, the lake was small so I did not test this extensively to see if drowning was possible.

Being able to swim is useful in

Spoiler: Not campaign, just a location, but still kind of spoilery (click to show/hide)

Dunwich Borers, where you can find a mostly- buried head of some giant idol in a submerged temple chamber thing. Fancy knife there as well called Kremvh's tooth, that does 39 damage and inflicts poison and bleed.

 Well, finally got the preordered game in. Must say, the pipboy and box do look awesome. Toobad that it only takes iphones and galaxies.

 Came with a season pass too.

[SOLDIER First]

Technically you shouldn't drown so much as suffocate. If you don't drown in the armor this means it's airtight, and unless the producers unanimously decided to develop indefinitely-operating oxygen recyclers for all the suits you will run out of air sometime.

Well I am not talking about a real-life power armor.
Just the in-game kind which I did not seem to experience any drowning or indicators that I might run out of air.

[miauw62]

Isn't the pipboy supposed to come with foam pieces so you can fit any smartphone?

[KingofstarrySkies]

I feel like, had I gotten the Pip-Boy, I would just use that in public because it's a convenient way to use my phone. :3

[GiglameshDespair]

As long as you never need to use two hands for it, sure. You'd look right silly when calling someone with it, as well.

I noticed that. I don't know if the jet pack works under water though, I probably tested it and forgot the results. 
Did anyone play with the jetpack? It eats through the fusion core energy much like sprinting. After I get 10 charisma I'll focus all my level ups on the perk that, on last rank, doubles the duration of fusion cores.

I had to battle three dudes with power armors plus two crazy melee dudes and someone on a tower with a fat man AND a rocket launcher. So sprinting around and jumping to/from buildings was fucking amazing. They'd take cover behind a building, I'd just impact land on their heads and shotgun whatever was left.
End of the battle both my legs were destroyed and arms were on red.
Problem is all the great fun Power Armor perks is dozens of level-ups away from me. I focused completely on crafting, settlement, and hacking/lockpicking 

On another note, give a certain 'medieval' costume from a comic character, and a certain 'flaming sword' to a follower, and watch as you can't figure out if you're playing Fallout 4 or Elder Scrolls VI.

PS: About water stuff, I had heard Beth DID make some underwater stuff - that's why the Aquaboy perk is a thing.
However, I found no suggestions or evidence of that in-game. Didn't explore much under water, though.
