Fallout 4

You know, I think the whole companion affinity thing is a lot more compelling than the Karma from previous Fallout games.

Heh. With me it's more of a case of:

[Piper disliked that]

Sole Survivor - Okay, she can stay in Sanctuary. See if she likes that any better.

It bugs me you can't send people to their original homes. I'm thinking Piper should reaaaally be looking after Nat every now and then, and Nick should probably be making sure his detective agency doesn't go under.

Sole Survivor: -puts on Power Armor-

[Danse liked that.]

Danse: Now that's what I like to see.

Sole Survivor: <.< -proceeds to maintain distance from Danse at all times-

You can actually send companions to their home or the first place you met them instead of a settlement. When the game asks you where you want to send them after telling them they are dismissed if you cancel they go back to their home instead of a settlement.

Soble: lol.

That only works until you send them somewhere, at which point they just go to the last place they got sent, and you need a mod to clear it. :/

I drew my script from earlier. It took, like, three hours

I read up on the wiki. My goal is now not to find the Soul Survivor's son, but to find a two-shot rocket launcher, which I will then attach Quad Barrels and a targeting computer to.

Eight shot rocket launcher . . . If it were nuclear it would sound like the MIRV from FO 3.

Currently my most devastating weapon is a quad-barrel, targeted "Violent" Missile Launcher. It has a scalp-tearingly high tendency to switch locks to a companion the exact moment I press the trigger.

I restarted as Nora and dropped back down to one companion only. Which is gonna be Dogmeat. I'll be doing most of the game with him. Just him. This is going to be brutal.

But I'm not going to hold myself down to a particular outfit, so I can armor up. And I maxed out intelligence for the XP and charisma for talking people into things/buying and selling for better prices.

My last start-over, I limited myself to "Realistic inventory" and only allowed myself as many guns as I could see the Survivor realistically carrying - maybe two pistols, a rifle, no rocket launcher, 1-2 grenades, and only so much ammo (like 50-rounds at best). Had to cave with the stimpaks/radaway (since it's a syringe/pills anyway). Companions limited to the same amount. And only one armor with a pretend "backpack" holding regular clothing.

I wish there was a mod that would actually show all of your weapons/armor that you're carrying in real-time, and have the PC actually switch between different weapons.

I really need to re-install this and finish the actual main quest. I was having a lot of fun with Deadly Bosses/Ghouls of the Commonwealth but I was burnt out on Fallout afterward.

The confrontation

So, apparently that little ditty that Codsworth likes to randomly whistle is La Marseillaise, the French National Anthem. Odd. An american robot with a British accent with a penchant for French nationalism? I love Codsworth.

What's not to love about your resident murder machine/housekeeper? I mean, that first conversation you have with him after leaving the vault is priceless. "How do you polish rust?!"

He has a problem standing in between doorways while I'm getting ganked by 3-5 Super Mutants though.

That's because he's trying to go through that same do to gank them. Modify him so he has laser guns and you won't have that problem anymore. My Cods has one eye, one automatic laser cannon, and one laser shotgun

Plus his three arm tentacles. I've replaced his leg with just a nub on it with a leg that has a pincher.

He has two dextrous hands and a buzzsaw now. He is killing machine. I love him so much.

Eyebot Mod and you get a doom machine Codsworth.

You both assume I have Automatron. :(

Well that is no fun.

My focus was more on Far Harbor and Nuka World.

automatron is 8000% worth the, like, five dollars it costs.

Get ALL the crafting DL Cs you won't regret it.

I grabbed the pass. I got it all.

I got the pass before the price jacked up. Only dlc left to complete is Nuka World.
