I wish I had played with different companions throughout the game but I've just stuck with one and I'm so far into the game it hardly seems worth switching at this point.

I'm rather stuck on an escort the scribe mission at the moment.

I'm supposed to take him to the gunner HQ but he dies before we even make it inside the building. The gunners are packing some serious firepower.

You try bringing a vertibird?

Oh, nice detail:

I had killed a whole group of NPCs I found somewhere who didn't seem..nice..to me.
Later on, a quest involved this group. Turns out if I decided to threaten the now only guy left from the group (tied to the quest), the protagonist mentions "I killed the last guy here before. In case that matters to you."
I found that really cool. Imagine if all quests had such conditionals? "If player murdered everyone then make him happy by mentioning it."

It was the most badass line I heard yet, I think.

PS: Oh, and my follower at the time even helped with with the threat. It was really cool.

Well, my two cents on the story if anyone cares:

Spoiler: Actual Spoilers (click to show/hide)

Definitely the best Bethesda story so far. I was actually not expecting the Father being shaun twist.
Though my character seemed to believe it too easily. One sentence from Father and bam! Suddenly I'm calling him Shaun now.

My main problem with the story was how uninvolved the main quest line feels. Just felt like a quick tour through the major spots with some twists along the way. Was pretty short, too. Sure, the side quests are cool and all, but I'd prefer a more-involved story. Something that involves everyone.
It would have been nice to get everyone involved, not just one small group. Getting help from the BoS, Diamond City, Goodneighbour, Minutemen, etc. instead of just one group. I chose the Minutemen unwittingly (It wasn't obvious!) and it just felt extremely underwhelming.
War against Institute also feels kind of forced. I never really got my motivation for destroying them. Felt a bit drastic. My character goes through all these lengths to find his son, finds his son, then blows his son up for some reason. Why?

But yeah. I enjoyed the story for the most part, and it's most definitely better than any other Bethesda game. Especially Skyrim. Just feels a bit forced at times and underwhelming instead of a grand main story with consequences.

The faction quest lines were also very annoying. The Brotherhood of Steel was something like 1 quest with the promise of more, but only if I chose them for the main quest line. And that wasn't even obvious.

Done with a save logging 44 hours. And I still have a decent amount of non-story content to go. Full reinforced combat armor and X-01 set, here I come!

My fave companion is detective guy. Not only because he is chill as fuck, but HE CAN HACK LIKE EVERY TERMINAL

@the ammo discussion:
its not only the diameter of the bullet that matters, but also the lengh of the projectile, and the charge.
and a very fast projectile will do less harm to a body then a slow one.

i seriously doubt that the 5mm we have in game is the same as the .20 cal. alone from the look of the ammo feeder, its a rather long ammonition.

the .50 ammo we have in game must be the short .50 used in the .50 pistols. still quite devastating, but it cant be the long .50 used in anti material rifles or the browning m2.
no way you coud rechamber a puny hunting rifle to house that monster and indeed the damage would be way to low for this ammonition.
with makes me wonder why we cant rechamber the .44 pistol to use the .50 ammo. that was nice to have
i dont realy see a reason for the long .50 ammo, with gaus riffles around and 5mm mini guns, the incredible heavy long .50 proably has gone out of favour with the military a century ago.

Didn't I have a pipe rifle like that?...
No, that was bolt action, actually speaking of, I found a legendary combat rifle which has 20 in explosive damage! It shakes the screen a bit and if I fire too close to myself it's pretty dangerous, but it's just too good to pass up.
