Main quest spoiler questions:
So I've been to the institute and I still got no answer as to why they are replacing humans? What's their goal? Why send so many Synth to the overworld for no apparent reason? Why build Synth in the first place?

Any answers at some point in the game?

I never got a definite answer but (some quest spoilers)
There is a quest where the institute is trying to abduct some scientific genius, but they never say anything about replacing him, or if any of the other abductees were scientists.

Where exactly? Can you try to pin point it more so I don't have to search the whole city?

The way I got mine: I fast traveled to the Brewery where you get the robot that makes beer and went north. There is a part where you can see the pier and scorpions spawn. Not sure it spawn for everyone.

I'm trying to turn in a quest to Paladin Danse put he just asks if I want him to travel with me or not. Am I boned?

Try adding him to your party then talking to him after. It worked for another companion for me.

If its the
lost paladin quest from the radio signals
go up to the Prydwen and talk to the guy in the hat, the captain guy (not the main guy). Hes down the stairs in the deck when you go in

They
abduct normal people and replace them. You even run into events out in the world that shows this. Its never explained unless theres some dialogue or quest i missed, like someone there running some experiment.
 
Does Sanctuary Hills need an ungodly amount of defense ooooooooooor?

Because there's currently only 7 people and it has 39 defense points. And it's still asking for more. A bit ridiculous. Especially when you consider I have other places with like 11 people and 42 defense with no issues.

How soon before there is a voice mod for the male character? Ps4 pls.

Dude sounds so ambivalent, almost cheery.

Geralt he is not. It's painful when my character talks.

Just found a new quest while looking for that radscorpion.
Right next to the Shamrock Taphose, there is a boy on a pier that says he saw a seamonster. Upon swimming there, you can enter a submarine and there is a chinese ghoul in there that needs help.

Defense has nothing to do with settlers. You need Defense = Food + Water combined.

Just found a suit of T-50 armor missing an arm and a leg in a random truck. I've been needing another frame, and this helps out a lot.

Railway Rifle still best thing in game. Steam coming from it and it even gives a little choo choo when you reload. Seeing the spikes in enemies is awesome, I shot a hound in the mouth as it was opening to bite me.

dlc, dlc dlc haha. it has all the makings of being that way.
 
They just don't ever put any effort into companion AI. I played through the main missions with a lone wanderer character, so I'm playing one that uses them this time, and they just refuse to stay put. Or they'll say I can't get there, or walk right in front of you while you are aiming, or stand directly behind you, blocking your retreat from an incoming grenade. I'm having a blast with the gameplay on the whole, but fucking come on.

I wouldnt even be mad. Well I would (lol) but I could very well just buy the season pass now blindly because I KNOW ill buy it when the first is out, and at least it would be adressed. But arent Fallout DLCs usually completely removed from the main narrative?

Can you get ammo for it anyware? I heard from corpses but I shot someone's head off with, went to the head which was impaled on the wall and coudlnt get my spike back :/
 
Starlight is now a garish nightmare of paintings of people I don't know... But the happiness is on the up. 96 now with an up arrow.... It just takes about 3 weeks of waiting every time to move it up another point now... Last goddamn trophy then I never have to deal with building again and I can just go explore more.

I remember when I used to do tedious shit in games for the sake of virtual trophies.

How do you guys choose damage perks when you don't even know what weapons you will end up using?

Newest weapon I have is pray and spray. Decent modded 10mm with decent fire rate. Double barrel that does 78.

My sniper is the worst out of the bunch.
 
You know what this game needs.

Like the equivalent of dragons.

Deathclaws are like terrifying but nothing was shit inducing like in Skyrim when you were doing something and motherrfucking like a high level dragon came to fuck with you

The only dmg perks I got were bloody mess and black widow. Recently ive been dumping points into automatic and non automatic rifles because I have nothing else to get so why not (and those are the types I use the most).

My dmg buffs came mostly from having the best mods because of gun nut and science

I never understood it and never will.

They do but this is the first Fallout (unless I have forgot) that focussed more heavily on the factions ending the story.

Really liking the sequence of going through Kellog's memories. Pretty cool and fleshes him out in an interesting way.

You don't. You just sell all the shit you don't have perks for and keep the ones you do have perks for.

Like why would you melee on a non melee character? Scrap that, and use the mats to build a weapon you do use.

Question: What's the difference between the assault rifle and the combat rifle if I can mid both of them to be either full auto or semi automatic?

More like rifle vs automatic. Even if same ammo type. I henge no clue what is down the road and rather not spend the perk.

You are talking like you need those perks to do damage which is completely false
 
Anyone know what's wrong with my Sanctuary settlement? It has 20 people, 27 food, 22 water, 90 defense, 30 beds and basically everything it needs. However I have two issues. If I'm not at sanctuary and I check on its status in the pipboy it says zero water, food, beds and defense. The happiness has also plummeted from 81 all the way down to 47.

I also keep hearing people say they're complaining about the "bed situation". I've checked them all, they're all accessible, played out with enough space between them, and no broken objects around them. I'll be pissed if the whole thing is glitched, I spent hours on it.

I'm not a melee character yet use melee on radroaches. It is far easier then trying to shoot them.

Settlements are bugged for a lot of people. I have the water being 0 even though I have 80 and beds at 7 even though I have 25.

Except I'm not. I'm talking like that was the most efficient way to play. Why would you put a ton of points in charisma and zero in melee...? And then melee only the entire game?


...I just... I can't. That is so inefficient I would just-- remind me to never watch anyone else play this game.
 
Man my first ever settler [Sheffield or w/e the guy from Diamond city] died in a super mutant attack.

He went out a fucking hero. Swinging a bat.

Let us not forget the time a fucking deathclaw appeared near the camp and he too ran at it with nothing but a baseball bat. And didn't get murdered instantly. What a man.

I like to imagine he ran in to battle screaming "NUKA COLAAAAAA!"

I need to know the EXACT spot for the albino radscorpion. I don't find it. =/ Can someone make a map marker and do a screen shot or something? Pretty please. I need that godmode in my hands.

Sanctuary has never been attacked in almost 90h of gameplay. =/ Maybe my 200 defense are too frightening...

Well using melee is a extreme example because thats andifferent style of play. But you make it sound you cant use shotguns because you dont have the rifle perk, which again, is not true at all

Bloody mess is a dmg buff avross the board as is black widow / lady killer, you can use those. And the late mods you get from science 4 and gun nut 4 also.

It wasn't sanctuary it was red rocket, that's my main base. Right now sanctuary has minimal defense as it's largely the water supplier for my supply line settlements (alongside some farming), another place is the farming settlement. I'm 5 levels away from my second level to Local Leader.


And then I'm gonna go all out and build my Casino/Trading capital of the Common Wealth.

I'll call it Las Boston


VIVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LAS BOSTON

It finally occurred to me that the Super Sledge makes this annoying static noise. I don't know why I never noticed it before but it's so loud that I can't use it anymore.

Settlement build limit is per settlement correct? Like someone could be crazy and make one on each of the 30 locations?
