There is no playing it 'wrong'. If you want to wear Power Armor, wear it. I played the first half of the game without it, only using it when I knew I was going up against some really heavy hitters. Started to use it more and more as the game progressed and I found better suits and upgraded them.
and "done"
at 95 hours, level 59, 130 something quests done. not bad. Now to check those places I didnt go to... because I still want to play it, wtf.
Going to save dipping my toes into building for the weekend when Im off work. For now, lets check Dunwich Borers for example which I hear its good

Anyone else run into this problem? I found a set of power aemour, equipped it, and now my character can only walk, as if he's over encumbered.
I did set the carry weight to 9001 via console, well before getting into the armour. I wonder if it's related to that...

Does it have a fusion core that still has a charge on it?

I agree the placement system is stupidly finicky, but it's so fun to build my 3-story shack mansion.
I already spent 2 hours cleaning up debris around Sanctuary and arranging various dining rooms juuuust right.

I feel like my settlements in Fallout 4 is what it's like to have children. No matter how much time I spend there or how many resources I expend, I will never get them to 100% Happiness.
Why don't you post stuff like that in the spoiler thread?
I'm no expert but I think I've read that the carry weight console command resets when you get in and out of power armour.
Its fake dude, i never post whats in spoilers.Oh good, broken spoiler tags. Thankfully I didn't read it but I think I'll bail out of the thread for a bit.
I have stupid question for y'all.
Why are headshots in VATS so inaccurate? Even with a good gun (highly modded Righteous Authority) at moderate distance, I'll have like a 95% chance to hit when aiming at the torso, but a headshot is only maybe 30%. Is there a perk or something somewhere that I'm missing?
Maybe it's always been like this even in New Vegas and 3 and I'm just forgetting, but I feel like I was a lot more accurate in those games.

That's...amazing.
Shame you can't reassign the default Sanctuary people to other settlements, I'd love to toss them all in Hangman's Alley and just make it a pit full of dead bodies.

Damn Mama! Get back down here!
"Screw you, I'm getting me some Jet you Scrooge!"
If you read my post again... I
1) compare Megaton to Good Neighbourhood, not Diamond city.
2) mentioned Rivet City which has more stuff than Diamond City.
3) mentioned how even though Megaton is small it had more quests associated with it than the bigger Siamond City.
4) am not talking about scale.
5) don't really care if Boston is bigger than both map in previous games combined when almost 90% of the stuff is concentrated in the lower right corner of the map.
And again...I was never talking about the size but rather the uniqueness and the quests.
So every single place can show as "cleared" on the map? because I swear I clear some places and they don't say "cleared"
In Skyrim there were a lot of places that couldn't show up as cleared, so I doubt they all can here.
Have you ever tried to shoot a moving target in the head in real life? I haven't, but I imagine it's a lot harder than trying to aim for their torso... Heads are really small targets, relative to the rest of a human body.
Anyways. there's a companion perk that increases your hit% of headshots

Covenant? Vault 81? Dunno where you can find ceramic but it is an easy resource to get. Breakdown broken toilets and coffee mugs/bowls.
Nah I don't think that's it, it was inside some white marble building
Oh, yeah, I just want to buy it in the 25 pack since it's easy. been abusing it for aluminum
Convenent?
clearly definted as a specific spoiler but whatever, I deleted it

When talking about bad gunplay I dont think people mean the actual guns.
The aim assist on consoles is just plain bad. You can't track a target moving parallel to you because the aim assist will slow down your cursor when you get close to the target, making it impossible to catch up with the target.
The animations and AI also play into the feel of gunplay. Missing shots because of jerky animations or derpy AI behaviour will sour some people (enemies often do random 180s when running one direction and turn on a dime). Also having your aim messed up because of the way the terrain bumps you and enemies up and down when walking around.
The hit boxes are really inconsistent. Sometimes it feels like enemies can shoot through the tiniest cracks and you struggle with bullets hitting corners when there is clearly 10 inches between the corner and where you "hit".
The diner?

Can someone tell me, or link me to a page which already has explained, exactly how to unlock all of the varied Settlement parts? I can't make shit.

nothing. no cap.
Basically max out your relationship with a companion and anytime they're with you you'll benefit from their perk. The perks are only active with your current companion though, so you don't benefit from perks from companions you have parked in the settlements.
Interesting. I just feel like I was pulling off headshots with much more ease in 3 and New Vegas.

A group of Brotherhood soldiers decided to take off in their Vertibird. The Initiate wanted to pilot.
The Knight was having none of it.

I'm going with full heavy leather set, some of them legendary, and the under-armor is the grey/green BOS uniform. It just looks good, especially with darkened leather.
The original vault suit may look amazing, but the extra defense and radiation defense isn't enough to make me not look swag as fuck.

The 360 spin was a glitch, but you get the idea.
He randomly shows up in VATS and one-shots people.

You're probably talking about Bunker hill.
Yep, that was the one. Thanks

I do hope the patch soon does fix some of the performance issues. Most of the time I have a solid 60 FPS but there are places where it drops to like 30 FPS, if I move my camera slightly away it boosts up to 60 again. The actual Boston area is a good example of this and I am running above recommended specs and everything at ultra. The only thing that gives me a consistent 60 FPS in these situations is setting shadow distance to medium but it's really ugly then and it's annoying because 90% of the time the game runs 55-60 FPS and I don't want the shadows down just for the certain areas it does happen. It's not all of Boston but certain parts. I have a suspicion that even though geometry is being culled, the shadows are still being calculated as if the geometry were there which still keeps a lot of the draw calls in place even if the geometry is culled/draw calls removed.

So for a few hours now I have been using just one outfit, the Spike Armor but lately I've been finding really good armor pieces that eventually provide me with better damage protection. But I need good clothing underneath. Any recommendations? There are some Raider leathers here and there but stats wise not too good. Where to find some good stuff?
These outfits where you can't use any armor pieces on sometimes look great, shame I can't put armor pieces on them. Will I get better stuff than Raider leathers and the Vault suit later on in terms of looks?
