FeliciaJollygoodfellow · 10/11/2015 18:04

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.

Ah amazing, thanks Pastamancer. I knew about the perks, but not about the hacking tips. I'm not advanced enough for that yet! I do like the design of the perks menu.

I'm playing as a female, who currently needs lots of RadAway and can't find any Grin

Pastamancer · 07/01/2016 18:50

I knew about the hacking as it was the same in Fallout New Vegas. You can make your own RadAway but as you get further in the game you end up finding more

I didn't know about the hacking! Thanks for that.

I'm going to play it now, I want to bed McCready! Grin

Owl I've got a few settlements now but I'm really shit at building them.

isn't me but what a fab Sanctuary. Mine is shit, just cleared out the ruined houses and all I have built is a couple of turrets, guard posts, bell and teleporter.

How do you make RadAway?? Shock I have so much to learn.

That settlement is amazing. Which console are you on Felicia?

I'm on xbox Becca.

To make radaway I think if you find a cooking stove then the menu will tell you how? You might need to level up in the perks with a medical one, although I'm a bit hazy on that. I play on easy so I'm overflowing with stimpacks, radaway and rad-x!

(incidentally am I famous now that MNHQ have commented on my thread?!)

You can also just heal up at a doctor to cure radiation poisoning. If you need any more tips and locations of stuff ask me in this thread (don't know how pms work) I have over 150 hours in the game and access to the developer console (pc)

Oh yeah and my first proper character (2nd overall) was a female scientist that used power armour and a Gatling laser with charging barrels so it become a slow firing laser mini gun with around 50000 shots (fusion cores + nuclear physicist) that does 70 damage and a plasma sniper rifle with 240 damage

00100001 · 11/01/2016 13:00

Ooooh, I've found you all!

I'm only level 16 - but loving it.

My DH keeps wondering how I have quests he doesn't have

00100001 · 11/01/2016 13:02

the guy on pasta's vid, is definitley PC and cheating. :)

00100001 · 11/01/2016 13:05

with the hacking terminals, it's relatively easy to work out the codes.

The "Likeness" means you have the correct letter, in the correct place.

SO if the password is actually 'LIKE' And you enter DOVE - you'll get likeness = 1.

Just look for similar words and work it out.

Also, just exit the terminal after the third guess and re-enter to try agin. (saves the 10 second lockout)

:)

sneakyhobbitses · 11/01/2016 13:08

PS4 player here - I'm level 30 (I think? Not sure which is embarrassing since I spent four hours on it yesterday). It really is very addictive! Though the Salem quest has scared the bejesus out of me. I died twice and then ran away. I'll come back to that when I've got a nuke or something...

Which factions has everyone signed onto? I've done quests for all three and technically "joined" but the Minutemen are so dull and Brotherhood of Steel too preachy. Railroad however I quite like Grin

00100001 · 11/01/2016 13:13

I'm Minuteman, Railroad and Brotherhood atm

00100001 · 11/01/2016 13:14

WHo ahs companions?

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

FeliciaJollygoodfellow · 11/01/2016 19:06

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!

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.

00100001 · 11/01/2016 21:01

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

Original poster
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...

OP posts:
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?

00100001 · 12/01/2016 13:32

I'm level 18....

FeliciaJollygoodfellow · 12/01/2016 14:16

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.

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.

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.
