I repositioned me behind the monters until the other bots couldn't shoot at me then immediately vatsed his face repeatedly before he could invisibilitate himself.

I used med-x and psycho and took care of the robots with my shotgun (unperked, at the time).  I had to use some stimpacks too, but Nick seemed to distract him pretty well.  When he finally decloaked, I unloaded with my shotgun (including a crit).

Shotgun was definitely my anti-boss gun, since it's good for bursts (then running back into cover).  Kinda like my shiny +25% damage 6-crank laser musket, heehee.  I should put a scatter on it instead of this scope, I'm not having any luck with sniping.  I bet I could have one-shot the courser that way.

6-crank crit shots to the face solve almost all the problems.

The Last Minute ends any significant problem with ease.

Do Laser Muskets deal more damage than standard Laser Rifles, to compensate for the bothersome cranking? I haven't been able to find any laser competition to Danse's almost fully upgraded Righteous Authority on a per-shot basis.

The base damage isn't any better, but the crank multiplier is pretty beasty. A six crank musket deals 6xbase damage with a fully cranked shot which is then multiplied by any relevant modifiers like criticals or sneak attacking. A sneak attack from a fully upgraded musket nukes most non-giant enemies.

Its also very easy to get at very early levels. Or the soonest you take the Castle.

Well, as soon as you can handle the queen.

[Greiger]

I just sniped out all his buddies in vats while under the effect of a mysterious serum, and then used my skills honed from spotting stealth characters in heroes of the storm to shoot him in the face a few times with a 50 cal sniper rifle while he was stealth boy'd.

I wish I could of said something along the lines of 'You know I can still see you, right?' during the fight.  But I suppose the inch and a half long bullets entering his braincase said that well enough.

Guys, at one point you have to choose a faction to help you. Are there any negative consequences with the factions you didn't pick? Am I locked out of their quests or something?

Not if it's the quest I'm thinking of. I think it can lock you out of 1 mission, but even then I'm not sure if it does.

The quests that determine your final faction loyalty don't happen until a bit later, any factions you oppose become full time enemies.

I meant the one in which you need help to get the teleporter up and running to infiltrate the Institute.

So in that ultimate case, if you don't ally with the Minutemen, they turn hostile and you lose all your settlements? I like the Brotherhood of Steel, but wouldn't sacrifice everything for them.

The teleporter quest won't make you enemies of any of the factions. Also, it's easily possible to continue being allies with the Minutemen even if you don't side with them. For the Institute questline, you just need high charisma. The BoS questline probably has a similar quest.

[TheDarkStar]

So I visited a quarry. Then I found a place where people turned into ghouls (?) with a nice melee weapon.

Also, X-01 armor with Hot Rod paint and glowing blue eyes looks awesome.

IIRC all the missions which lock you out of other factions explicitly tell you so in a popup.

This. It'll pretty much tell you "Doing X will permanently make you an enemy of Y."
