Incidentally: Not only do item containers respawn after sufficient time, so do pre-placed items in the world. I've gone back to places I cleared very early on and found the exact same arrangements of items in the exact same places and numbers, which I know I looted the first time around.

Yep. This should be adjusted, because it looks and feels stupid. This isn't DayZ.
At least, they should make it so after you finish the story (or some major questline), or after some level (60+/70+) it starts to regen, because at that point the game will be mostly a sandbox, open-ended game.

I mean, once I attacked a Gunner camp, left for 2 minutes and went back and everything had regenned. So that's pretty silly.

By the way, I want to make a minor spoilery question. There's a place which people speak a weird language (to me), it sounds scandinavian.
Is it swedish? I couldn't find any reason for that. But I was on a hurry so I may have missed something.

I wish there were a few more options when it comes to building settlements, but that's my only complaint there. Another thing I miss from NV was being able to craft ammo. With the new crafting system, you'd think I'd be able to turn all of these components into bullets. Guess I'm gonna have to get a mod for that.

Like this?

[AlleeCat]

Huh, I honestly didn't think this would come out until the creation kit was out. Good to know.

The home of the Agility bobblehead, right? Considering the place's name, I'd assume that it's something Nordic/North Germanic.

 God, I hate the friggin size limit.

 I mean, why cant I build housing for 40 people at the red rocket truck stop if I want to, complete with dining and bathrooms?

[SOLDIER First]

its a gas station

[Neonivek]

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.

Scavaging brings 3 random junk items every day (junk can include water and non-meat food items)

But they don't tell you what they brought.

It really is boring. But I read there's some sort of exploit, that you can drop lots of weapons and pick them back up, and the size limit will go down
I haven't tested it though, and it wasn't from a reliable source, but if you got to the limit it might be worth the try.

[Flying Dice]

Mechanically, it's annoying. But, y'know, it makes sense. The largest, most well-defended and well-supplied communities in the wastes have populations numbering in the low dozens. Most farmsteads and such have fewer than ten. Frankly, it doesn't make any sense to be able to turn every fucking settlement into the equivalent of a metropolis--where are all those people coming from, for one!

I can honestly only think of two, maybe three places where that would be reasonable:

1. The Castle. Fairly large, very well-protected by geography and architecture, the military heart of the Minutemen.
2. Spectacle Island. Extremely large, extremely well-protected by geography, lots of good farmland.
3. Sanctuary. The first Minutemen settlement; thus, the first to have word to get out. Fairly large, well-protected by geography.

Yah, but all thats about is the population. Suppose I want to build a hotel for all those poor saps I got lugging shit all over the commonwealth? Well, I cant.

Im gonna try that exploit, see if it works.

[Astral]

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.

Did it? Mine came with the little insert that had the advertisement for the season pass, though no code was found inside it.

[Aseaheru]

Wait, really? Thats worrying.

-checks with sibling who has it-

Yep, its just an add. Thats ass.

[Yoink]

Oh man oh man oh man I just saw my first functioning vehicles.
That was amazing. And explosive...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I saw a vertibird landing, and so dropped what I was doing to run over there and see what was going on.
Turns out, it was attacking a bunch of super mutants camped in a water treatment plant at a damn- yeah, serious FO3 flashbacks.
Shortly explosions started happening. At least one super mutant had a missile launcher and one may have had a fat man, too. The vertibird dropped troops who were quickly hit by a blast, lifted off, flew for a bit before being taken out by a launcher, its flaming wreckage tumbling down a hill right in front of me.

Long story short, I picked off a supermutant or two from range (charging in as I usually would seemed like a bad idea, given that I had no idea how many there were left) and helped the one surviving knight secure the area before looting the corpses sprawled around the wrecked vertibird(s?).
I've been planning to join the Brotherhood with this character... I should really get around to doing so.

[MarcAFK]

PTW.

[Lightningfalcon]

I think there is a mod that removes the size limit. Don't have the time to look it up, but if you go from newest first on nexus it should be quick to find.
