So with a bit of a lull in new releases now for me until Zelda Tears of the Kingdom comes out (and I still am putting off the damned DLC for BotW) I figured now would be a good time to dive into a classic with a new twist: Survival Mode
So What is Survival Mode?
Well simply put, its ultra Hard Fallout, where you have to be super careful and deliberate in what you do, from the Fallout Wiki https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Survival_mode :
Great, a challenge for me as I usually do play these on Hard, well aside from Skyrim which I will one day tackle, never got more than 10 hours in, my most restarted game, fuck I just bought the Anniversary DLC on Steam Deck to try and played the first hour to try that.
I am playing this on Steam Deck and dipping in and out of it whilst playing other games, the plan is to do all Named Quests and maybe some collectables, I kinda wanna doo all Steam Achievements, but we'll see. So how to tackle this, well my build is gonna be a Long Range VATS build, that allows me to keep safe and plan ahead, however this has already hit a snag, less than an hour into the game. I got to the Boston Museum fine, Raiders hit hard but I can be stealthy and get them all, plus use Dogmeat to attack and distract, thats worked out well, well until the part I'm stuck on now....
You see there is Power Armor on the Roof alongside a Turret that you can use, great! Shread's Raiders attacking, until the fucking Deathclaw arrives, this motherfucker is so smart it will not come anywhere near me (and I waited on this roof for nearly 20 mins for it last time) and I do have well over 500 Bullets, plenty to kill it, but the issue is, it can one hit kill me and it is fucking fast, my save is outside for the Musuem section as well so at least 20 mins earlier, its true pain
