VATS is a lot less accurate in this game than it was in FO3 and NV. That said I have no invested any perks into VATS, I'm sure it probably comes back in line if I did that.

Fully maxed chem resistant so I can't get addicted to anything. I'm just popping drugs all the time now and its fucking awesome lol

yeah vats on its own isn't that great but with the perks, oh my goodness. not sure i've ever seen so many combos in any game just for one specific skill.

i was thinking of going party boy because running around drunk dialoguing is amazing

Am I the only one that uses Vats to see what enemies are ahead, or where mines and shit are? Whenever I explore I hit VATS, like, every 100 feet just to know if anything is hidden. I rarely use it cept for when my Crit meter is full and do some nice Damage that way.

[Tyrath]

I spam the shit out of VATS when I'm in a ghoul area.

[Wulfgang]

sanctuary has an armor station tho

The sanctuary one is in that same house area as everything else lol how did you miss it?

God damn it, I must have dismantled it when I was dismantling the shit out of everything in my first hour in the game.

<.< I only dismantle things highlighted in yellow

Don't think I was paying attention at that point; was likely assuming you wouldn't be able to dismantle the crafting stations, but no idea

That's pretty much all Survival mode does. Hard mode already makes you fairly frail with slightly spongy enemies, but Survival mode just makes everything take 6 million bullets to kill and adds no new mechanics to the game like NV's Hardcore mode did. It's extremely disappointing. Personally not really willing to put up with bandits who can take 10 PB shotgun blasts to the dome just for some extra legendary monster spawns.

Also don't like how they've made it so that crits only happen in VATS now, and they're manually executed at that. Only thing I really find VATS useful for is sniping with a shotgun or ensuring a mini nuke doesn't miss since a VATS crit has 100% accuracy no matter what.

Yeah the idea for the difficulties is that you should switch them progressively as you get further in, there are no trophies/achievements related to difficulty. Starting out above normal is retarded since enemies are bullet sponges but ammo and other resources are scarce, this is made even worse by how enemies come in hordes and early on you mostly fight ghouls which are a resource syphon. Early on you also go to that raider hellhole where they throw endless grenades at you, heal themselves with stimpaks and snipe you from the roof with shotguns.

If you enjoy that though then good for you.

Whats the best settlement that has a continuous flat land? I have a nice idea for my Power Armor Museum but need a good place.

[kisada]

warwick comes to mind

[Churchill]

Wait till you see the size of the Settlement.

got an annoying bug. when I click E on Piper, she talks to me like normal but the companion menu doesn't come up, thus I can't recruit her or access her inventory. guess that leaves the only other female companion in the game.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Curie?

[Churchill]

robot sex is best sex

I fixed the Piper problem. Experimented with some debug commands I used to use when making Skyrim mods. If you ever get a follow stuck or stop talking to you and are on PC, open console, click on the follower, and type this:

removefac 00075d56

This removes the Player faction from the actor (npc) list and lets you talk to them as normal. You can then add them as a follower again.

I have a weird bug with the minuteman guy from the first town. He Follows me But hes like sitting down on the ground the entire time and sliding around shooting like that. Also he wont trade me shit.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Have people been building walls around settlements for safety or just letting them be for the most part? Any settlement I'm currently building up, I make sure to build steel/wood walls around it while only leaving 1-3 doors that are guarded by a shitton of turrets.

[Arcana]

So i started a new save because i made some poor perk decisions and accidentally stole something in diamond city. i'm enjoying it more on hard than i did on normal, even though some stupid raider stole my god damn power armor in the assembly plant. haven't noticed many more legendary enemies on this playthrough but again i'm only around level 12.

[Tyrath]

...accidentally stole something? Do you not use quicksave? >.>

[Zetanio]

...accidentally stole something? Do you not use quicksave? >.>

I learned to quicksave every minute or two. Bound my G1 on my Logitech to Quicksave :D

You don't need walls for a settlement. You don't even need guard posts most of the time.

I just stack tons of turrets around my build area. Works really well.
