Just restated, I didn't get very far when it first came out.

What build have you gone with?
I just made it up rather than using any sort of online guide.
Strength 6
Perception 3
Endurance 4
Charisma 4
Intelligence 4
Agility 2
Luck 5
No doubt I've made some huge mistake?
Looks fine and it's pretty subjective anyway. If you'll be using VATS and sprinting a bit I'd whack some perk points into Agility, but other than that everything's in a good place to unlock the reasonably good perks.
Cheers, I'll work on Agility as I plant carrots for these idiots I'm helping.
You're insane not to use the unofficial patches. They fix so much Bethesda nonsense.
Do they work with the latest update?
Yes, I'd expect so
Got back into this recently on the PS4 using an unofficial patch as mentioned, but the main reason is the mod 'the world is dying' it makes the game insanely tough, high level enemies as soon as you leave the vault! Festering and glowing bloatfly's in the Sanctuary houses and glowing mole rat mother's at Red Rocket the mod author has also made some big changes to crafting and cooking. Purified water is super rare, my character has 3 charisma and a bottle of purified water sets me back 600 caps with Trashcan Carla. I highly recommend it on survival mode it makes the game so exciting when you are in the middle of a fight.
Sounds right up my street that. Is there anything janky in it?
Just checked the changelist and it's so big there's bound to be.
I haven't noticed any major flaws so far bud, been playing for about 20+ hours. One of the best aspects for me is that you only get 25% of the total xp you would normally get, so choosing the right perk is super important.Originally Posted by Yevrah
Really enjoying the save I started a couple of weeks back. Closing in on level 35 and haven't done much outside of zone 1 yet.
Built mutfruit, tato and corn farms at Sanctuary, Abernathy and Sunshine Tidings respectively and now on the process of building an an arena to farm Radstags, Yao Guai and Deathclaw at Starlight drive in.
Been fairly conservative with perks, only really taking the convenience based ones and have pumped 5 into Perception allowing me to take the bobblehead to raise it to 11.
On the weapons side I found a bleeding pipe pistol which I've converted into an automatic rifle which is cutting through zone 1 foes.
Plan is to finish off the settlements and then head penniless and equipmentless, clothed only in jeans and a shirt to Diamond City.
Why?!?
This is Yev in a Bethesda game, I'm surprised he's allowed himself the luxury of trousers.
I've misplaced my bleeding pipe rifle.
Bought an xbox one x the other day and this looks amazing on it.
Started again and decided to avoid settlements entirely, not even using the workbenches etc that are there. The game is so much better for it.
I've been back on this recently for a second play through. I've been tempted to get a One X to play it properly and get some awesome mods.
I restarted this recently after buying a PS4 and getting the Game of the Year edition. I've gone for a survival play through, which really makes it a much more involving game. Although the illnesses are a bit too frequent, which is a little annoying.
I can't remember how far I got with it when it was originally released (I didn't finish it though) but I've just hit level 21 on my new game and I've not yet gone to Diamond City. I've just been trekking around the northwest corner of the map clearing out ghouls, raiders and taking any side quests that come my way.
Also, since I hit about level 15 I'm being regularly set upon by roaming gangs of homicidal robots. I don't remember this happening last time. I think it might be something to do with the Automatron DLC? Absolute bastards, they are.
Yeah Automatron means a load of Rust Devils mooching about. They're pretty hard bastards but have some decent gear.
Yeah, that's them. They are pretty tough but you're right, they do have decent gear. The robots seem to drop fusion cores quite regularly too.
I've put some time into the main story today and I've just killed Kellogg. I was a bit worried about that fight on survival mode to be honest, thought it might be the first major stumbling block. But, in a very lucky turn of events I not only found a Fat Man minutes before confronting him but also had a critical hit charged up as well, so the ensuing critical, mini-nuke direct to the face pretty much alleviated any concerns that I had.
I also accidentally started the Far Harbour stuff earlier than I would have liked, which is mostly the Brotherhood's fault for sending me there on one of their regular "go here and kill stuff/bring us something back" quests. I didn't clock that it was sending me out that way until I got to the location the map was pointing me to and realised that was where the boat that takes you to Far Harbour was.
If you use mods, the unofficial patches fix up a lot of those oddities.
I've not delved into the world of mods, although they do exist on console now from what I understand? It keeps popping up with messages about that "Creation Club" thing, which I assume is trying to sell me stuff.
I only just worked how yesterday how to transfer Power Armour onto the rack properly and work on it. I never knew you could fucking upgrade it at all prior to this.
It's now got a very fetching, military green paint job. I never wear it like, I just like to display it in the Red Rocket and look at it.
Creation Club = paid mods
https://bethesda.net/en/mods/fallout4 = free mods
I think I'm going to go all in with the Brotherhood on this play through. I know they're sort of arseholes, but they are pretty cool too. Plus, riding around in the Vertibird, raining down lead with the mini-gun, is fucking cool.
Being able to call it in and hop a ride is also an absolute godsend on survival mode on the occasions when I can't be arsed trekking cross-map to drop shit off back at the my main base at the Red Rocket.
Playing a pretty strong/agile build on this and have been playing more of melee style.
Just unlocked a couple of points in Ninja and Blitz - makes it pretty fun flitting about chopping everything up using VATS. Currently running with a Ripper (with bleeding damage) and a Shishkebab which looks awesome when it fries people.
My latest masochistic run, if anyone's interested.
Straight to Far Harbor on Survival.

Went back to my original save (level 110) and have been polishing off the quests I never got around to doing. Just completed Open Season in Nuka World and got myself Aeturnus (infinite ammo laser gatling gun)
Still quite a bit I've not done on this save, which is bananas seeing as it's the one I started on launch day
Bought this on sale for a tenner. Not really played a Fallout game before (have 3 and New Vegas in my Steam library but don't think I ever even installed New Vegas and I never bothered getting out of the vault in 3). What should I expect/know before getting stuck in?
Spend ages making your character’s appearance (it’s probably worth making your wife look like you want her to look too) cos you’ll see a lot of them. Especially yourself.
I'm a twit
You don't need to know all that much - just get stuck in and explore. It's probably best to do a pure mod-less run first before you get into all that.
Settlements are pretty fun but a bit "gamey". Mostly you're putting effort into them because you think they look cool.
This is a decent read: https://www.reddit.com/r/fo4/comment...e_should_know/
This Deathclaw thing in that first town is a cunt. All my guns are shit and I ran out of ammo with the minigun way too quickly. I'm just hiding on rooftops taking potshots at it now. Not sure it'll ever die.
There's a house near the tunnel it spawns from (on the right hand side as you're walking from the Museum). The deathclaw can't get through the door so once you've cleared the Raiders out that are in there you can just kill it while standing inside.
I got stuck there until the Deathclaw got stuck down a hole and couldn’t get to me. I was close to quitting to never return though, so stick with it.
I'm a twit
I think I'm about to give up. This is shite.
Typical Boydy. One of the best games ever and he gives up within a day.
I carried on. It was a fucking tedious fight though. I can't see this being one of the best games ever. Not for me, anyway.
It's a slow burner. I actually think doing the missions is better than exploring. The weapons are balls.
Fallout 4, specifically, is in no way one of the best games ever.
You’ve gotta carry on though; do it for Shaun.
I'm a twit
Right, I'm gonna do this again, with a better character build. Starting now if anyone's interested.
Given up on Fallout 76 so soon?
I'm a twit
There's a patch coming out that changes a few things and no doubt there'll be another one, so I'd rather not play it while they're fucking around with it.
I've been meaning to start this up again, as I've completely lost track of where the hell I was at with it, previously. Last thing I remember doing was bowling around some kind of shanty town hub, after getting involved with a gay Terminator.
I was holding off, waiting for 76, and almost dropped £50 on it on release day without realising it was an online shitefest.
I couldn't do Far Harbor from level 1. Too hard.
So I started again.
I cracked on from where I left off in May 2016, and attempted to get my head around where I was up to. Level 23, and an inventory full of crap. As with all of these types of games, I'm all over the place, story-wise. I seem to have been bumming around with the Brotherhood, mostly, but Danse is such a sappy knob. I thought he was breaking up with me earlier.

Tempted to do a survival no settlement run of this, with the caveat being I can store unique and legendary items in the workbench at Sanctuary.
Decided on to go with the above.
S 6
P 10
E 2
C 3
I 1
A 1
L 5

So, who's playing this at the moment then?
Not Fallout 4 related (sorry Yev) but this trailer for the new content (an actual story and shit, presumably) for Fallout 76 actually looks not bad.
I have a copy of it that I picked up for a tenner or something a few months after release just out of curiosity and played for a couple of hours tops. I'm semi-tempted to give it another go now though.
