I just started a no fast travel run on very hard, no energy weapons or rifles. Melee and pistols only.

Ouch. No fast travel. Yikes.

Heck, I forgot how weak we are when we start out. I already dropped back to normal because I couldn't kill anything.

I think I'm going to roll a melee/strength build for my second playthrough. Just rushing a deathclaw in the glowing sea sounds like fun.

And when will this begin?

Any timeline on that? I'm guessing they are waiting because the console mod support isn't read.

the combat has gotten better for me after that intro when I was so underleveled. It didn't help that this is my first fallout so I didn't have a good feel for when to shoot and when to use VATS.

Yeah, going from an invincible wasteland hero to "fresh out of the vault still frosty behind the ears" is a humbling experience, but this time I'll know a lot more about what I'm doing.

Also, I don't know how many times I've been around sanctuary looking for scrap/loot and this is the first time I've ever found the root cellar.

I'm building better settlements but I forgot how long it took before I could really upgrade and help out.

Only have 3 at the moment and they aren't well defended. I just happened to show up for 8 super mutants to attack 2 settlers and 1 provisioner.

Barely survived and really only survived because Codsworth distracted them.

Seems like my key mistake was having super low endurance. I probably started with 5 or 6 last time and this time I started with 1, so I can't take much damage. I'm going to need to spend my points on Endurance because I currently have two settlements that require Super Mutant Battles to open them up and I can't even get close without missiles blowing me 100 feet into the sky.



And that is on normal... very hard difficulty, I might just die from an ingrown toenail.

Here is a protip for everyone restarting


Bind purified water to your quick menu. Only use stimpaks for broken limbs.

Did y'all know Magnolia in the third rail is actually a synth?

Just made it to Corvega, at level 7 on very hard, getting my arse handed to me every step of the way

I like how a pipe pistol in a raider's hands is a precision tuned instrument of death. However, in my hands its like a pop gun.

That wasn't a glitch. You linked all settlements directly to Sanctuary thus you could have 30+ provisioners there at one time.

By linking, do you mean setting supply lines? I ask because I still feel inexperienced in that aspect as I've focused more on building than anything else.
