I preordered from Amazon and it came today, played for a couple of hours while the small one was at nursery now waiting for everyone to go to bed so I can continue!

So far I'm missing DJ Three Dog but everything else is spot on.

I've found out how to stream the Xbox to my laptop, so bonus is I can play on that and they can play on the 360 on the tv.

Best kind of benign neglect parenting Grin

Rude Shock

Tell them those who pay get priority. You might get some money out of it, even if you don't get the Xbox.

Also at Snipey and Snifle.

I might rename my sniper rife Snifle. As in Snifle Rifle Grin

I lack the imagination to rename if I'm honest.

I am itching to get back on but those bloody kids are playing Plants V Zombies beta! Get orf my Xbox!

I'm not the only one to rename my weapons... right???

00100001 · 15/01/2016 16:28

I'm yet to kill anyone with it yet, as I have a lovingly crafted Sniper Rifle (renamed to Snipey Grin) and a powerful(ish) shotgun ...(called Scotty Blush)

I want to find/make a .50cal gun though!

Apologies for radio silence. It's been a little busy!

That Columbia build is amazing Shock
Going to spend quite a large chunk of my weekend playing so will hopefully have something more interesting to say next week. Got some catching up to do.

Just been playing - have increased my relationship with maccready but not enough. Don't you hate it when a mercenary plays hard to get?

I'm level 37, just levelled up.

So, if you're there - just try and get in.

Also in VATS, if a target has a skull after their name, it means they are definitely much tougher than you are, and you might want to re-consider.

00100001 · 12/01/2016 16:46

Make sure they're not actually good guys! may have shot a DC Guard

use VATS, if they're bad guys they're red.

I'm pretty sure the game levels up with you. My DH and I did the same building, I was on level 9 or something, and he was on 30+ He had way more bad guys to deal with than I did.

OwlCurrency · 12/01/2016 16:45

I've just arrived in the vicinity of Diamond City. But lots of people in the area seem to want to shoot me in the face.

Should I try and take them all down or grind some levels and come back? I'm only level seven.

I can't tell you now because I deleted the pipboy off my phone as I had no space but I'll look later. I'm about level 34 I think.

00100001 · 12/01/2016 13:32

I'm level 18....

Pastamancer · 12/01/2016 13:11

Strong is a supermutant, if you rescue him then he will become a companion.

I'm level 48 at the moment and my damage resist is 289, 292 and 15. What is everyone else?

FeliciaJollygoodfellow · 12/01/2016 12:12

I have loads of guns. Loads.

I'm always getting overencumbered because I pick them all up - I carry about 8 with me AT ALL TIMES probably because it is my Xbox representation of all the shite I have in my handbag Grin

I have a sniper rifle that I like but I will NEVER get rid of my exploding shotgun which is amazing.

I miss the repair aspect of Fallout 3. I don't think they should have got rid of that.

Who's Strong btw? I don't want to spoil the storyline but if you can give me a few details that would be good...

I get sentimental about my guns, I have sniper rifle, I can't scrap it :(

I'm a Minuteman but I'm a bit bored of that. But....I find it impossible to play a bad character. It doesn't matter what the options are, I cannot pick any but the nicest ones.

Mine is MacCready. I sent Dogmeat off on a quest by accident - had Nick Valentine for a while after that.

I'm trying to win MacCready over so we can be luvvvvvveeeerrrsss Grin. I've increased our relationship but we're not quite there yet!

00100001 · 11/01/2016 13:14

Mine is still Dogmeat/Preston atm, but DH has Strong, and I want Strong now!
