Eh, it’s somewhat random. I’ll make it work overall, but I just need to finish some more quests on the outskirts of Boston.
What I can’t believe is that there are people who have already finished the main quest. I’ve had the game for less than a week, put about 24 hours into it (according to the game clock), and have a stack of side quests to get through. Did they skip all the side stuff or did they just have that much time?
I was actually ignoring the main quest until I realized you could continue after beating it, then I focused on getting that done.
I’ve dealt with a couple different settlement attacks. (One was by five or so raiders, another attack by two super mutants.) You will actually get a screen message when all threats are eliminated. If you don’t, than I think that means there is some mob out of view, somewhere. (I don’t know what happens when a mob flees.)
Shooting Kellogg in the face with a mini-nuke was very satisfying. That is all.
Two days ago, I started a new game (I restart a lot). I noticed that it appears that you can have only one game save. It autosaves and quicksaves over the last such save. I saw no way to rename a save either, so there would be difficulty in telling which save goes with which character. (There are only time stamps, IIRC.)
Even Skyrim let you make multiple save slots. 
My biggest problem with power armor is that I didn’t realize you don’t need to power it up to get the key pieces…so, my main base looks like a trailer park with exoskeletons laying all about. Now I just strip off the pieces I want (this lets me get them while wearing my own power armor suit…the T-60 modified unit you get from the BOS) and leave the exoskeleton behind. I thought that fusion cores would be an issue, but I have so many that I just take my suit out all the time now, only taking it off for doing non-combat stuff since the tactical display that highlights all moving/living NPCs is a bit jarring when I’m not fighting.
Copy and paste em to desktop or another folder. 
You guys are all probably past this, but here is a YouTube video with 19 tips on the game that might help anyone just starting off. I knew most of this, but the thing about Dog Meat not counting as a companion for the purposes of the Lone Wanderer perk (which I don’t currently have but would if I was starting again) was new to me. The biggest on in here I think is the way to create adhesive (which I already knew but would be good for people to know about as adhesive is one of the hardest things to get and one you’ll need tons of for just about everything).
Hmm…I didn’t realize this until last night, but if you want to turn godrays off you have to click on the “low detail” preset. I did that and got a huge fps boost. I was able to crank up a lot of the other settings to medium-high and still getting 40-60 fps on my gtx 750. And it seems to have cleared up the big lag spikes I was getting in Boston Common.
I must be missing something. You can have multiple save slots in Fallout 4. My second day playing, I made a new character, but the save file for her is still there if I want to go back.
Is it different on consoles?
:smack:
I think people are getting confused because you have to use the Select Character button under load if you want to switch to the saved games of another character. I know one of my co-workers was freaking because he thought he lost his original character when he made a new one.
(I’m on a PC.)
I did notice that there were multiple saves on hand (the last, most recent four saves). But the oldest save appeared to have bene overwritten by the newest when doing a save.
I will have to look at it again.
Now I know I must be fucking this up. I never noticed a “select character” option.
Thanks, everyone!
Ok, so I just saw Liberty Prime salute the Bunker Hill Memorial, then rip a Super Mutant Behemoth’s head off.
GOTY.
I don’t think that’s accurate. Tried it today, and the generators are not classified as containers so there is no way to put anything into it. Unless there’s some super secret trick to it, but I doubt it.
Yeah, I just tried it myself. I got punked. Sorry for the misinformation without checking for myself.
How do I get a brahmin off of the roof of a house? At some point, Trashcan Carla’s pack brahmin spawned on the roof of the central house in Sanctuary. I thought it was funny at the time, but it seems to be up there permanently. Several restarts haven’t budged it. The constant mooing while I craft is annoying. I am loathe to just shoot it.
Build a brahmin trough (I believe it’s under miscellaneous resources). They will stick around the area where the trough is.
I have one. Ol’ Bessie doesn’t seem thirsty enough to come down, though.
